[K-Drama Review] The Moon that Embraces The Sun

The Moon That Embraces the Sun aired its final episode last March 15 and along with it I'll write my thoughts about this one heck of a Korean national drama.

I jumped into the Moon/Sun fandom because of three reasons:

1. The casts. Kim Soo Hyun and Jung Il Woo are the male leads... uhmm, should I explain further? Lol
2. The story. I'm a sucker for stories that involves the deadly combination of royalty and tragedy. Not necessarily a tragic ending but tragedy along the length of the story.
3. And lastly but definitely the strongest reason of all, the type of drama --- It's SAGEUK. I have this sudden interest in Korean history because of the 2011 drama The Princess' Man. That drama was epic in both romance and politics. Although Moon/Sun is not based on real history, I still watched it so I'll have my dose of sageuk and hanboks to satisfy my cravings. If it's sageuk, fusion or 100%, I'm IN!

With that three reasons in mind, I went into full fangirl mode for The Moon That Embraces The Sun.

First Drama of 2012

The holidays are long over and it's time to go back to the real world. Uhmm... real world where fantasies come to life by urging you into full-time fangirl mode, hurting and/or damaging your already malfunctioning eyes, and ruining your chance for a good night sleep. Oh! But I'm not complaining... it's time to go back to Kdramaland!

A Year Full of Drama --- Korean style

Fact about me --- a Korean drama lover. A year wouldn't be complete without spazzing about a drama or two. If anything, my list of favorite Korean celebs is constantly growing with every drama I watch.

This year takes a different turn in my Kdramaland experience. Because this year I watched Korean dramas to my heart's content. Going from following one drama that is currently airing that month to juggling three on-going dramas that I can't put down even though my eyes are about to give up. What can I say, I've had a lot of free time this year.

Before the year ends, I have this sudden urge to list the dramas that I watched this year. I want to have a written proof that 2011 is a year full of Kdrama for me, this kind of experience might not happen again in the coming years, you know. ^_^v

[K-Drama Review] 49 Days

TWO THUMBS UP FOR 49 DAYS!

It's a story that ended the way I expected it but not quite the happy ending that I was used to. I've been lured into believing for a fairytale end but no, it didn't end that way. Curse you 49 Days! You've been playing with my rotten mind the whole time in a way that I can't complain because I'm enjoying it. =P

To start off, what hooked me into watching 49 Days is the awesome cast. --- Lee Yo Won (Queen Seon Duk), Jung Il Woo (Take Care of The Young Lady) and Jo Hyun-jae (Only You).
