Drama Review: Hidden Love

Hidden Love is a Chinese drama that is quite promisingly the gem of 2023 and my current crack happy drama that always brings a smile to my face. It stars actress Zhao Lu Si (趙露思) and Chen Zhe Yuan (陳哲遠). I had seen various works from Lu Si, but I did not know who Chen Zhe Yuan Little did I know I’d become so in love with this drama, and brought me out of hiatus in the need to spazz and dying to tell the whole world about it!

Drama Review: Do You Like Brahms?

Do You Like Brahms? is a story about two protaganists who lost their way in pursuing their career in music and the journey of how they helped each other get over the hardship while also falling in love.

The drama steadily gain attention during the time of its airing and earning some rave reviews from viewers (and me), particularly on the actors going that extra mile in preparing themselves and learning the musical instruments their characters play.

Do You Like Brahms? – Park Joon Young & Chae Song Ah Sweet Scenes

I guess I just can’t stop myself from spazzing about Do You Like Brahms?. My First Impression post really didn’t quite do justice highlighting the good bits of this show and why this show got me all wound up. Honestly other than classical music, from the get-go Park Joon Young’s sweet and considerate gestures had touched Chae Song Ah’s heart. And not just hers, but also mine and viewers.

First Impression: Do You Like Brahms?

It has been awhile since I fell head over heels over a drama. I have spent one whole week swooning and dying over this new drama named “Do You Like Brahms?“. I honestly had wanted a break from this show after Wednesday so that I could spazz on other dramas I’m also following i.e. Flower of Evil and Alice but this show would not let me go as they kept releasing new clips, promotional stills and cuts from this cute pairing.

The drama stars Park Eun Bin (Hot Stove League), Kim Min Jae (Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2), Kim Sung Cheol (Arthal Chronicles), Park Ji Hyun (Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung), Lee You Jin (Be Melodramatic) and Bae Da Bin (Arthdal Chronicle). Many of you would probably ask, “Who?” Well guess what? Time to get to know them because they’re worth knowing, especially Park Eun Bin and Kim Min Jae.

Drama Review: The King Eternal Monarch

Picking up from where I left off for my First Impression post for The King: Eternal Monarch, the show became more engaging from the end of episode 4 and eventually I was invested in the characters and the story. Time flies way too quick and we’ve now reached the end of the journey exploring the parallel universes along with Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun. I don’t think I will ever fully understand the way how the multiuniverse works but they will forever be fascinating to be a part of in the TV world.

Spazzing: Find Me in Your Memory

Find Me in Your Memory is written by the script writer who wrote Duel and co-writes Nine: Nine Time Travel. If I hadn’t checked I wouldn’t know it was written by the same person because the theme, style and genre were so different. The drama stars Kim Dong Wook, Moon Ga Young and Kim Seul Gi whom are not the most famous bunch of actors in the entertainment industry, although Kim Dong Wook had been steadily becoming more well-known through the success of movies Along with the Gods and OCN’s The Guest. It is kind of nice to see these actors were given a chance to play leading roles and shine with great characters, just like how Yang Se Jong as a newbie were given the important role(s) in Duel.

First Impression: The King Eternal Monarch

The King: Eternal Monarch — a science fiction romance that reunites Lee Min Ho (Legend of the Blue Sea) and Kim Go Eun (Goblin) with script writer Kim Eun Sook. It also stars Woo Do Hwan (My Country), Kim Kyung Nam (Fox Bride Star), Jung Eun Chae (The Guest) and Lee Jung Jin (The Liar & His Lover).

Kim Eun Sook sure is very fond of Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun to have invited them to work with her again, and it can be almost certain that in Kim Eun Sook’s heart, Lee Min Ho is a man of royalty, LOL. In The Heirs, Kim Tan’s family is like the Chaebol Royalty and this time, she made him a true royalty! Well, who knows, Min Ho’s family name is Lee and most importantly he looks gorgeously regal.

Micro Drama Review: April 2020

2020 is like seeing one of the disaster Hollywood movies come true. 2012, Armageddon, Contagion, Deep Impact you name it which I can no longer think or see them as merely just a movie—because the reflection where people panicked, fight, break in or kill feel pretty real now due to COVID-19 pandemic’s scare. It showed us humans’ natural instincts and true colours. I am still at awe at the sight of empty shelves in the supermarkets!

Whilst we all are in isolation or practising social distancing by staying at home, thank god this is an era of internet. What would we do if not without internet? For me, isolation/staying home isn’t difficult at all as long as I’ve dramas to keep me entertained, and thank goodness too that the entertainment world has been producing some good shows during the time in need.

First Impression: Itaewon Class

Itaewon Class — a JTBC drama based on the webtoon of the same name is the latest Korean drama not to be missed. The underlying plot may seem cliché where we see the hero & his gang face hardships and fight to success in life whilst constantly being belittled or bullied by the rich villains. And life ahead appears dark and long, but fear not because our awesome ttorai hero is packed full of positive energy and shining brightly acting as the lighthouse showing the people around him hope and charges them up to fight whatever comes their way.
