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.

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.

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.

Big Mouth: final thoughts

Sensing that Big Mouth was a complicated and winding drama by the halfway point wasn’t enough to prepare me for the meandering plot and utterly simple twists in the second half, as it turned out.

Big Mouth: halfway through

“A righteous lawyer who fights against Goliath.”

Well, most legal dramas have such plot, so there’s nothing new from this premise. And the burning question is not if the righteous one would succeed (duh), but if Big Mouth is actually Big Mouse.

Sh**ting Stars: final thoughts

Finally, a K-drama whose second half was decent and whose finale was enjoyable… in a long while. And it comes from an entertainment agency drama and its superficial world of stars, made possible by behind-the-scenes people who make them shine and clean up after their messes.

Sh**ting Stars: halfway through

Probably my first drama with a censored title.

[Drama] Business Proposal

Didn’t think i’d watch another contract relationship series this soon after my last one, but here i am (already over the finish line) with Business Proposal, owing to my propensity for not reading drama synopses beforehand.

One Ordinary Day… according to who?

Self-explanatory or misleading title, which would you prefer?

For me, it’s the former all the way, for obvious reason: so i know exactly what i’m getting into. However, One Ordinary Day falls under the latter… i guess?

Police University: on episode 5~16, final thoughts

Ah, Police University. How i wish you had stuck to the title and focused more on the academy life, like what you did in the beginning.
