So Far: City Hunter

Why so awesome? but killing me with your cliff hangers! for the second episode in a row we end with NaNa's life in danger. Episode 11 was the worst, because they totally went through the whole closed eyes body limp dying thing to make you think that she actually could die. I am so glad she didn't! because as interesting as that plot line would have been for City Hunter it would have made the series too dark. cus right now it has the perfect balance of action/drama/suspense/romance/comedy (formular for awesome drama), if NaNa was to die just think of all the agro and angst it would add to the all ready revenge plot drama. It would zap all the cuteness out of it. However the loss of NaNa would have send Yoon Seung over the edge into the darkness of his revenge. It would be really interesting for his character development, being a hero scared by the loss of the woman he loves (think James bond, casino royal, quantum of solace). It would be pretty deep stuff. 
But I love the cuteness, especially how Yoon Seung and NaNa (and ajusshi) are beginning to form a team. it so coooool! And there is just something so romantic about how she shot him and then took a bullet for him (they have matching bullet scars) in a sadistic sort of way. I also love how recently they have been showing more of NaNa's fighting skills because I like that she is almost on the same level as Yoon Seung. She's not the Louis Lane always needing to be rescued, she can take care of herself! 

I don't know how I will wait another week

First Impressions: I Need Romance

OMG I love cable drama. Rawr*
So I Need Romance premiered this week replacing Manny (which I still haven't had time to finish yet) true to its claims it is very sex-and-the-city esque, and the key word there being SEX.
Because we don't live in the nineteenth century anymore, unlike some drama's would like to think. (Its even worse with japanese drama, they still think babys are delivered by cranes)
so SEX. and romance. I was not expecting how sex-and-the-city open and forward about the whole thing they were going to be. But nah, the Samantha equivalent totally puts it all out there ^^

What is great is that each character has a different romance/sex/love life situation. The three main women friends are each on one corner of the triangle. There is; the woman who changes men very three months, the woman who has been in a 10 year relationship, and the woman who is a virgin bride. It sums up the reality with three extreme examples.

Its witty and fluffy, so far so good.

Final Note: Lie To Me

Diddn't watch it.
enough said.

Final Note: Best Love

I couldn't help but be bored after about episode 10. Sorry, but its either about the chase or hot kisses and there weren't enough of the latter to satisfy how dizzy going around in circles the first made me.
MGISG was a better Hong sisters drama. I think because I knew from episode 10 of BL how it was all going to end (of course he wasn't going to die), so it got really meh when they couldn't just get there shit together, also became a lot less cute.
When I think back also to You're Beautiful, I have an overall feeling about all Hong sisters drama, that it starts really well and just gets meh.
Sorry not hating, but just saying (but I watched all 16 so that gives me the right to hate If I wanna). Maybe its because I have been watching the super awesome action packed lee min hoTTTT City Hunter (it is just so awesome) Best Love became more dull in comparison.

Overall it comes down to the fact that I don't like the last episode(s) of drama. Probably because the chase is over and so I loose interest, unless the plot line is driven all the way up to the last 20min before we get a conclusion. Best Love was more like an epilogue episode, but it was done well and was cute, but could of had less hugging (seriously there was a lot of hugging in this series) and more RAWR^^
So:: Good series, fast and funny dialogue, does lack chemistry a bit (if only there was a way to combine Best Love with Lie To Me <and City Hunter>) but Cha Seung Won is awesome. So watch it, but watch City Hunter first

I had no idea

But apparently there are a few k-pop songs copied from english artists...
yeah I was like oMG

.::Later::.
Well I though F(x) 'hot summer' sounded familiar...


I new the song was from an english version instantly, but it took me a while to find where it came from. As I heard a cover and not from the initial artists 'Monrose' I initially heard it after receiving a CD from my astralian aunt who got it from a newspaper. It was a Cd featuring musci from the australian version of 'so you think you can dance' where it was covered by some guy. I initially thought the CD was rather lame, but now I wish i still had it.

.::Even Later::.
I knew it was more familiar then before, I found the video clip an remembered it also being on TV.

So Far: Lie To Me

Dear Drama
I think we need to take a brake. I thought we really had something going, but now I realized I was just swept away by all your good looking-ness and swooning chemistry. Now I have to look at things realistically, I have 7G of broadband to last 4 people 10 days. I wish I didn't have to do this, but wishing isn't going to get me anywhere in real life. It certainly didn't help your crazy illogical plot. 
So goodbye drama, not for forever, but just intill my internet resets. 
Yes I did just brake up with a drama. 
Things have taken a turn for the worse. The lie gone and so has Ki Joon's balls, which was replaced with denial and my plans to murder the two supporting leads. Yes this is a threat. And then we see the reappearance of the lie, with what-do-you-know Ki Joon's man parts were with it all along. 

Manager Park is my favorite character right now. She is the voice of sanity in this kdrama gone haywire. She totally needs her own drama.
I think Ah Jung is doing fine, its Ki Joon thats messing this drama up.

First Impressions: City Hunter

So City Hunter not so shitty after all...

I'm starting at episode 4 after reading the recaps because I never actually expected to like this drama. I don't usually go for anything other than rom-coms, but after reading episode 4 I decided to give it ago.
And its pretty freakin' awesome.
I'm actually not a big fan of Le Min Ho, but I was impressed because he did manage to portray a character complete different from in Personal Taste. I wasn't expecting that, but now I realize he's not just a pretty face.
What I think is most awesome is that Yoon Seung doesn't want to kill people for revenge. I think this just makes the drama really. He's bad ass and emotionally screwed, but has the best sense of justice. Underneath all that angst he is a good hearted guy. Its the kind of embodiment of a classic superhero and a clear comparison with Batman (He's somewhere in between George Clooney and Christen Bale).
The other great thing is that the love story isn't just on the side, it's fully incorporated into the plot of the drama, but it doesn't dominate either.

Can't wait for this week's episodes; bringing the total drama count to 5 ^^keke
