Halfway through atm and I need two questions answered! 1. Who is the ML??? I honestly can't tell. 2. I'm cheering for Han Ji Pyeong, will I be disappointed? (Do San's character is falling flat with me...)
This is why it's so important to stop bullying ASAP in kids. First and foremost for the victims, and also because kids don't always understand the full extent of their actions and most will spend the rest of their lives regretting it. If the bullying is stopped early on, then this would never have happened and no one would have gotten hurt. I'm disappointed in Ji Soo, for sure, because he was someone I cherished.
Currently watching True Beauty (where I am Team Seo Jun lol) and I got so excited that Hwang In Yeop was getting another main lead...!! Until I saw he's competing with Ji Chang Wook... In Yeop oppa, hwaiting! I smell another second lead syndrome for me...
You who Came From the Stars is one of my all time favourite dramas, so I really gotta put in my piece. I see where you're coming from with the villain, I do, but I don't think you're giving him enough depth. Jae Kyung was a villain who was probably told as a kid that he could do no wrong by his powerful and wealthy father. His father always had his back because he only saw what he wanted to see. Jae Kyung saw everything like a chessboard, and he knew what pieces to move to win. Do Min Joon was his first real challenge. In fact, he probably saw it as the challenge of his lifetime, one that required different chess pieces from his usual. He believed he could win against Min Joon if he found all his weaknesses, even if he was an immortal superpowered alien. In all honesty, it was Jae Kyung's twisted mindset that I enjoyed/hated about him, because he didn't believe he could do wrong. It was his chessboard. (SPOILER AHEAD) BUT! It wasn't until he lost support from his family that he realised he could actually lose, but even then he struggled to deal with it. Sure, we all knew that he couldn't possibly win against a 400 (?) year old alien with superpowers, but he was so delusional that he didn't see it. That's why I think he was a great villain. Oh, and his lackey? To me he stayed because he was probably already a criminal/murderer, but this way he got paid to hurt people. As Heath Ledger's Joker said, "If you're good at something, never do it for free."
My favourite underrated dramas is definitely Falling for Innocence. The lead actor, Jung Kyung Ho is one of the best actors of his age I've seen. I learnt a lot from that drama. <333
I am literally in tears to find so many fans of Jung Kyung Ho... Cruel City and Falling for Innocence were two of the first kdramas I ever watched, and they still sit at the top of my favourites list! I have rewatched them so many times since. Shout out to the soundtracks of those dramas too, because they were amazing as well - instrumental... on point!!
(Haven't watched Mad Dog) SWDBS: Chemistry was amazing between the leads, but yes, it's the first kdrama I like where I actually skip parts and it doesn't affect the story at all. If they simply removed a certain group of characters for a while rather than try to make their own stories, it would've made it a helluva lot better.
Sus Partner: I enjoyed this at the time. The villain was AWESOME for me, but now I can't really remember much of it and wouldn't plan on watching it anytime soon.
FFMW: Yeah, this wasn't memorable. Glad I can say I watched it, there were a few good moments, but wouldn't rewatch it again.
WYWS: I actually loved this. I've never been much of a LJS fan (I LIKE him, but not love him) but this actually boosted points for him imo. I was so obsessed with this I legit forgot it had to end and was so sad... But only now I'm realising that not everyone loved it which is weird but hey, each to their own. It was the characters and plot twists that really made it (even if you saw the plot twists coming lol).
School 2017: Wooooow this is my favourite of the year, believe it or not. I'm really into the rebellious mysterious characters, plus the cutest chemistry between leads...! (And a certain music theme made for a certain badass character was AWESOME) It also brought current school issues to the light which many people could relate to.
YES someone else who couldn't get past episode 10 of Goblin! I tried soooo hard to like that show I ended up hating it. Yes, it's pretty in so many ways but I've never been so bored watching something that was so highly praised, I seriously thought I was the only one. As for the rest of the list, I haven't seen all but I wouldn't rewatch any in a hurry... There were some good scenes in Pinocchio and it actually impressed me that the main character was a guy whose life sucked and who was always crying, because it always felt like it was female characters who did that, so kinda refreshing at the time. Currently watching Oh My Venus, still early on, but So Ji Sub looks so good in a hoodie and a beanie, who knew? ;)

Those bike paths look amaaaaazing to ride on!
