Eye Love You: halfway through

We’ve come to a point where the male lead is puppy-like and the second lead is a tsundere, it seems. It used to be is usually the other way around, no?

viva la vida, Twinkling Watermelon!

So, i finally finished a K-drama last year, in the very last month at that. And guess what? It was Twinkling Watermelon.

Vivant: final thoughts

It’s been a month since i finished this drama and i still can’t make out of the ending, much less think of what to write in this closing review. Hence, me winging it so i can move on to other shows. Heh.

Brush Up Life: on episode 4~10, final thoughts

Fall drama season has started, and here i am ticking off a[nother] title off my winter roster. It’s only been 7-8 months, which is definitely not the longest it took me to finish a series; there’s a few more that i’ve put off for years now. Heh.

Vivant: halfway through

The drama that got on my radar solely due to Nino’s cameo.

My Lovely Liar: first impression on episode 1~4

Superpowers are a pretty common trait in kdramaland. We’ve had a hero who reads minds by looking at their eyes, another who scans memories through physical touch, a heroine who foresees the future through dreams, or another who sees others’ lifespans. There’s a girl who can’t lie (or else she’ll hiccup), and in My Lovely Liar, one who is a walking lie detector.

Ousama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi: which finger should we give?

A fluffy and breezy contract marriage dorama… for two thirds of its run.

See You in My 19th Life vs King the Land: the battle of forlorn hotel heirs

I keep dropping the k-dramas i’m watching by midpoint (case in point: i finished only three titles last year, and nothing yet this year, which is pretty abysmal in my book) that if i don’t blog my first impressions, i won’t have the chance to talk about them at all.

Hence this post.
About the two series i’m currently checking out, which happen to have comparable background stories.

100-man Kai Ieba Yokatta: on episode 4~10, final thoughts

This drama should could have been a melo that the lighthearted tone and occasional comedy never really settled on me.

Dai Byouin Senkyo: final thoughts

“Everybody wears a mask in their life.
We put on different masks in front of different people.”

So, that’s the reason why The Demons are wearing masks: not to hide their identity as it turns out, because everybody else is already wearing one anyway. That’s also the best line they — the Blue Oni– said all series long. The rest was…perfunctory.

…and so was the rest of the drama.
