KYAAA~ Fans of Memories of the Alhambra who miss uri Yoo daepyo (Hyun Bin) and Hee Joo (Park Shin Hye) should not miss out on these videos where Hyun Bin and Shin Hye were asked to play Jenga as they were interviewed as an attempt to distract and make them lose concentration. I’m sure everyone knows about this by now as it has already gone viral since its first release.

55th Baeksang Arts Awards is just around the corner again! I’m doing a post for this because I’m just too excited and happy about the nominations for TV drama section. My Ahjussi and its casts are finally getting their well-deserved recognition; Hyun Bin is nominated for Best Actor for my beloved Memories of the Alhambra; I’m happy that Yoo Yoon Seok is getting nominated for his outstanding performance in Mr. Sunshine and it pleases me even more that he’s probably going to walk the red carpet with his best bud, Son Ho Jun (LOLLL~!), and Park Bo Gum is returning as one of the hosts (now that he’s got a clean haircut he should look better than last year’s Baeksang 😝). There’s nothing more delightful than having all the celebrities in beautiful dresses and tuxedos all in one place for me to drool at!
P.S. Bae Suzy is also returning to be the host and she always looks gorgeous.

5 and 6 are my favourite episodes from Memories of the Alhambra. They are the deciding episodes that had me hooked on the show and embark on the point of no return. It’s also these episodes that truly highlighted Hyun Bin’s versatility in acting and had me impressed. These episodes are also the turning point for Jin Woo where we see different faces of Jin Woo as he confronts the drastic change in his life and the new characters appearing in these two episodes.

Continuing with the spazzing, episode 3-4 take us further into the characters’ backstory as well as taking us on Jin Woo’s nightmarish’s journey. Thankfully we have some nice, funny moments to remember by of this confident, clumsy and handsome Jin Woo and cute Hee Joo before the nightmares start.

I still can’t get over Memories of the Alhambra, and ever since it ended I’ve been rewatching it randomly or back-to-back because I just miss Yoo Jin Woo too much. Hyun Bin needs to quickly make a return but I fear even if he did, I wouldn’t love his new character as much as I had loved Jin Woo. The dilemma of falling hard for a character! 😛
At first watch it was difficult to notice all the little details all at once, especially now I no longer sit close-up to the screen as I used to, I find myself missing out a lot of tiny details, so I do enjoy finding new clues or hints or even little unimportant findings I didn’t notice before. This is just a spazzing post for myself because I didn’t get to do it whilst it was on air.

Thank you 2018, and welcome 2019! May this year be a better year for kdramas. Looking back, there weren’t many dramas last year that earned a star in my watched 2018 list so I sincerely wish there will be more stars under 2019. Continue reading “Micro Drama Reviews: February 2019”
Memories of the Alhambra — a fantasy drama written by Song Jae Jung (Queen In Hyun’s Man, Nine: 9 Times Travel and W: Two Worlds) and directed by Ahn Gil Ho (Secret Forest). The drama stars Hyun Bin, who had mega hit success with dramas “My Name is Kim Sam Soon” and “Secret Garden” under his belt. In recent years, Hyun Bin spends most of his time horning his acting skills making movies, and this drama marks his return to the small screen since 2015.
The drama is then supported by veteran actors Kim Eui Sung (Mr. Sunshine, W, Train to Busan) and Lee Seung Jun (30 but 17 and Mr Sunshine) who have previously collaborated with Hyun Bin in “Rampant” and “Hyde Jekyll, Me” respectively. The drama also stars other notable actors/actresses such as Park Shin Hye (Doctors, Pinocchio, Heirs), EXO’s Park Chan Yeol, Lee Re (Radio Romance, Witch’s Court), Park Hoon and Min Jin Woong (Jugglers).
Memories of the Alhambra is aired on cable TV, tvN in South Korea and can be found on Netflix worldwide. If I’m not wrong, it’s the first (Korean) Netflix Original series so it means a lot for tvN and production company, Studio Dragons which both have big plans in breaking into the international market. In terms of ratings, the show did fairly well, not the best, but at this point of time it made its mark on the top 10 of all tvN’s series.
Ahhhh Memories of the Alhambra, my end of 2018 and beginning of 2019 one-and-only love. It’s getting rarer these days for me to fall in love with dramas (maybe I’ve seen way too many), so I feel blessed I have this one accompanying me for the past 2 months.

Writer Song Jae Jung‘s interviews were published by the Korean media since 2 days ago, and immediately there were a lot of negative feedbacks flooding the social media. I’m glad she came out to clarify some of the unanswered mysteries for us, but also can’t help but wonder if it was better she hadn’t. The wrath of fans/netizens is no joke.
