K. Drama: School 2013 (Some Thoughts)

Maybe it’s because I am a teacher or perhaps I just enjoyed my high school life that much. I love dramas and movies set in high schools. I watched Gokusen 1, 2, and 3 twice and I still watch some of my favorite episodes from time to time. School 2013 kinda reminds me of it, though this one is more dramatic and realistic than Yankumi’s class.

This is really just about school life, a teacher’s struggles, friendship and the best bromance I’ve watched so far. What I liked about it is it didn’t focus much on a love angle (it was so subtle it was ignorable). It is good to learn that kids nowadays are not so focused on dating. It was really all about the teachers and the kids inner struggles and the day to day issues that students face such as grades, tests, bullying, meddling parents, etc.

I wish Teacher Jung is real, I wish I could be like her. I mean be more involved and dedicated. I hope there would be more teachers like that. Go Nam-soon and Park Heung-soo are just so handsome to be former bullies. I mean how can they have that skin when they go into fights so much. But, I love how they delivered all those mushy lines with reddish eyes and tears about to fall expressions.

I enjoyed it and I will definitely watch this again before the new school year starts.

Can they? =)

I have been watching “The Heirs” because I like Park Shin Hye and Lee Min ho.I liked how the story progressed and I think it’s kinda like “Boys Over Flowers” on a more serious and dramatic note. I don’t know but even with Kim Tan’s perfect face and good show of emotions – I am kinda wishing that they would give Choi Young Do and Cha Eun Sang more sweet moments.

Marry him If You Dare (I will Dare!)

I have a huge crush on Lee Dong-gun since “Lovers in Paris.” It’s so nice to see him in another drama and portraying a much more mature character. Though Yoon Eun-hye’s hair is bothersome, her pretty face and quirky personality make up for it. As for Jung Yong Hwa – he’s really cute and at my age, he makes me feel ten years younger.

With such a beautiful cast, I have high hopes for this drama.

I think I know who will end up with whom. But there’s a small part in me that hopes Yong Hwa will win the lead’s heart. But still, Dong-gun – without uttering a word, makes me want to scream. Can’t he marry me instead? =)

“The Greatest Love” After Effects

I have just finished watching “The Greatest Love.” And boy am I giddy! I laughed, I cried, and I am dying to have my Dokko Jin! I want his arrogance, his evil laugh, his parrot fashion sense, and above all, his great love! aaawww!

Image

Oh well! What can I say? “The Greatest Love” is perhaps one of the greatest love stories I have watched. Each episode made me want more until I realized that the dark circles around my eyes are growing to be as big as my cheeks. Frankly, I don’t know how to make a review. I just enjoyed it. Period.

Scrap that.

I love it!!!

The Greatest Love

Unlike a lot of drama addicts, I am not updated with all dramas. I guess I am not really an addict, maybe just an enthusiast. Not all dramas catch my attention. I prefer romantic comedies because they are much lighter and shorter. As my best friend said, we have too much drama in real life already to watch more.

Anyway, right now  I am watching something that has been shown in Korea two years ago and earlier this year here in the Philippines – “The Greatest Love.” I like Gong Hyo jin and this is the first time I am watching Cha Seung-won.

So far, I am loving it and I have read good reviews. I still have six episodes to go.

Addiction

I have been reading K-drama and J- drama blogs and they’ve been very helpful. I went as far as follow some of them. Although I’m sure none of them would follow me back. It’s just good to know that I am not alone in this addiction and even if some people who are really close to me are laughing at me due to this, there are people who understand.

Still Up

I am a night person. I can stay awake for up to 36 hours straight. Work, a good book, and beloved series make it possible. But right now, I am all about Asian dramas and movies. And the latest person to keep me wide awake is…

So Ji sub Oppa!
