THE DISCOVERY

2011

MY FIRST K-DRAMA WAS MY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO

Got into Korean Drama by accident and the rest is history
I'm kind of frustrated because it's hard to find other Asian's dramas that not Korean and when you  do let's just say it's not available in your country or subbed            

I WAS ADDICTED AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO

So after that ended (which was only 3 days) I watch Playful Kisses (I know some people didn't like this version) but I enjoyed it, Tried watching the other ones but that was the same damn thing, so I couldn't get into it. But when I heard about the scandal I couldn't bring myself to watch it again. Even though I watched it for Jung So Min

Yep...

BUT I had to have more

..........................................................................................................................................................................

THE WEBSITES

Found out there are apps specifically for Asian Dramas 

IT WAS LIKE OPENING UP PANDORA BOX ( AND I DON'T WANT TO CLOSE IT)

DRAMA FEVER AND VIKI IS MY GO-TO SPOT TO WATCH DRAMAS BUT I FIND MYSELF SLIPPING TO DRAMA FIRE (OFTEN) but 

MEETING PEOPLE WHO SHARE THE SAME PASSION THAT I DO

MAKES IT ALL THE MORE FUN, TO HEAR PEOPLE THOUGHTS AND SEEING THEIR REACTIONS

SWITCH IT UP A BIT

I wanted to expand my knowledge beyond K-dramas so...

I WENT TOWARDS TAIWANESE AND JAPANESE DRAMAS

My first Taiwanese drama was Just You at first I didn't like it yet people encourage me to keep watching it and I'm glad I listen. It grew on me and became my favorite 

Taiwanese drama and nobody can change my stance on that.

Japanese dramas are very hard to get into

BUT I did find some that I came to enjoy

Atelier and The Girl Speech

WHEN i'm NOT WATCHING DRAMAS  

(Yeah This Again, I"m getting more in-depth)

IM READING

READING TAKES ME INTO A DREAMWORLD

AND IT GIVES YOU MORE INFORMATION 

THESE ARE SOME I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

WEBTOONS

DISTANT SKY BY INWAN YOUN SUNHEE KIM

WIND BREAKER

HONORABLE MENTIONS

1.NOBLESSE

2. MY SHINY WORLD

Now let's talk manga

I probably read over 200 mangas

Bitter Virgin

Orange

These two I highly recommend especially if you're in high school

They are emotional coming of age stories that pack a mean punch

it can resonate with boys and girls to adults and teens

..........................................................................................................................................................................

1. Skip Beat

LDK

Black Bird

Lan Chi

Beast Master

visit me on Zing Box to discover my whole collection (if interested or whatever)

VARIETY SHOWS

I love Running Man and The Casts (the Casts more so than the show)

My favorite running man are

1. Lee Kwang Soo

2. Song Ji Hyo

3. Yoo Jae Suk

4. Ha Ha

5. Kim Joong Kook

6. Gary

7. Ji Suk Jin

The best episodes (to me) is when it's only them (NO GUEST) because I love their little family arguments that

they get into often. 

Honorable Mention of Song Joong Ki The First And Only SongSong Couple 

But even though I love when they fight and bicker 

You can really see the love and respect they have for each other

Update 

I'm highly disappointed with the recent developments of Running Man one of my favorite shows has come to this.  I will no longer support the show but I will continue showing my support to the cast in their other work. 

   I enjoyed the cast most of all and I hope that they will still keep in touch and let this scandal pass them. 

But I'm highly pissed. 

Update #2

Still pissed

..........................................................................................................................................................................

KPOP I really didn't hit with the kpop wave but some ost has me in my feelings.

JPOP

discovered through an endless amount of anime but they are so hard to find and buy from where I'm 

from 

It's just so much red tape you have to go through and different accounts and websites that 

sometimes don't take your card or it's not available in my country or you have to get PayPal and

FAVORITE ACTORS

I really don't base it off of looks 

But skills and who can move me

But I come to enjoy these actors on and off screen 

1. Kim Woo Bin

I always thought that he was this serious bad boy but when I saw him let his guard down on running man it made me love him all the more. 

......................................................................................................................................................................

2. Jang  Hyuk

Is awesome and funny probably one of my top veteran actors. First seen him in Fated To Love You and fell in love went back and watch all of his movies and shows. I will never tire watching him on screen

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

3. Lee Jong Suk

I don't like all his dramas but he's a really good actor and yes I ship the bromance between him and Kim Woo Bin

Favorite Actress

1. Puff Guo

Really like her and her choices in roles can't wait to see what she does next when I first saw this actress I really thought she couldn't act at all but it took me a while to realize that she was just playing an annoying character and her other works show her skills better.

..........................................................................................................................................................................

2. Kim Go Eun

The first thing I saw her in was Monster and I found her interesting, So I looked her up and watch her movies A Muse was shocking and so weird but I really give her accolades for her performance. It's kind of rare to see a young actress that does her own stunts and that don't mind getting dirty for the sake of her role

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

3. Jin Jun Hyun 

Completely adore this actress and glad that I found her 

I first saw her in Blood The Last Vampire and felt that she look kind of familiar when I was watching My Love From Another Star. She is another one of my top veteran actors.

I keep repeating the same things often huh 

Well that means I'm very serious

MY GRADING SCALE

I try to be nice NO lenient on my ratings because it's a lot of effort that goes into making a script and putting it out there for public consumption I get that part 

           But some dramas tend to be bad 

I rarely rate dramas with 1 or 2 rectangle bubbles so I will start my rating off with 

3- applaud the casts and team for their hard work and effort but basically  drama sucks

4-6 good plot but poor execution 

7-9 The acting is good. with a nice plot but the story got lost in the middle (always the middle) and end slow

10 All around drama that hits all the right marks and leave you empty after you are done with it
