Boys over Flowers review

Now for part two. WARNING this show causes you to punch pillows or maybe a wall, screaming and yelling, yelling at the actors of the show through a screen. This show causes a lot of things. Popcorn and this show are a good combination.  Boys Over Flowers is a show I have a love-hate relationship with. I love it yet I hate the decisons that Jan Di makes throughout the show. She makes me so mad sometimes. This is the third drama I watched when I started whatvhing them. I watched it in the summer and that was a good thing. I was up to like 4 a.m. everynight watching this show. Once I got to like 15 or 16 I was screaming at the top of my lungs yelling at Jan Di through the screen. I also yelled at Jun Pyo for the way he treated Jan Di. It made me really mad. This was the first show that made punch a pillow. This show had me come up with my saying Boys Over Flower moment. So now when I ever yell at the screen when I watch it's a Boys Over Flowers moment.
Don't think that for all these reasons that it would be a bad show and that I hated it. I just have a problem with the fact that Jan Di chose Jun Pyo over Ji Hu. This show is actully rather good. This show is about a girl named Jan Di who ends up getting a scholarship to a super elite rich kid school. She runs into trouble and ends up becoming enemys with the king of the school, Jun Pyo(played by Lee Min Ho), who also happens to be the leader of the F4. Jun Pyo likes to pick on Jan Di and Jan Di seeks comfort in another memeber of F4, Ji Hu. This show becomes a love triangle. In the end Jan Di has to choose between Jun Pyo or Ji Hu. Can you guess who she chose? If you're thinking the nice, sweet guy that helps her through hard times, Ji Hu. Well I hate to break it to you, but she did not choose him. Instead she chose Jun Pyo, who bullied her and caused her so much pain. I will never agree with her choice, NEVER!
It blows my mind that she would choose him over Ji Hu. If I were her I would have chose Ju Hi in a heartbeat. What I hated most about this show is that when you Jun Pyo went to Venice to learn the family business so he could it over one day. Jan Di went there to see him and convince him to come back, but when he saw her he acted like he didn't know her! He like even broke up with her! She went all the way over there it get dumped basically! I got so pissed that I punched a pillow and got out of my bed and made a bowl of popcorn at like 3:30 in the morning. I went through that popcorn in like 2 minutes. What pissed me off the most was that Ju Hi was there for Jan Di while she was suffering. He comforted her. Why she didn't pick the second male lead I have no idea. I mean Ju Hi even over cam his fear of cars for her! If that doesn't scream love I don't know what does.
This show is actually quit good. It is considered a kdrama classic. It is also one the most popular kdramas of like all time. I loved the story and I liked most of the characters. Some of them were big jerks, Jun Pyo. Sticking with characters, I felt that Woo Bin was more of a supporting character even though he was in the F4. I wished that he would have gotten more screen time and I wished that could've learned more about his past. It seemed that we learned about all the F4's pasts but his. That's kind of sad to me. In my mind the only reason why he was there was to be there to support Lee Jeong. As the show went on you saw less and less of Woo Bin. It was kind of disappointing to me.
To warp up Boys Over Flowers I would say that no matter what you should watch this show. It is worth watching. I'm even thinking about re-watching it sometime soon. Just because it makes you yell yet the top of your lungs doesn't mean it's bad. In fact that can mean it's really good. Shows that get you involved and make you feel emotions are good shows. So don't be afraid to watch it. You regret it, I guaranty it. Blood is also a good show to watch after this one, because you get to see Jan Di fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor.

Blood review

This will be one of two dramas this week. The second drama I will write about will be Boys over Flowers. Look forward to that one. Blood is a show that deals with vampires in a unique way. The people that are vampires have a virus called VBT-01. It makes you like a vampire. The only major difference is that only sunrises are really dangerous to them. So in this show Ji Sang starts to work at the cancer treatment hospital. I found it odd at first that a vampire would be a doctor that works in a hospital. Ji Sang takes pills to control his blood cravings. At like episode 5 they stop working. Ji Sang is also the first pure blooded infected(someone who has the virus). Both of his parents has the virus. Ji Sang is looking for a way to cure this virus, because he wants to be human. He wants to live a normal life. He works alongside his best friend and sidekick, Joo Hyun Woo. Hyun Woo was my favorite character in this whole show. He created Luuvy. Luuvy is a very amazing robot.
In this type of show we have to have a bad guy. We not only have one bad guy but we actually have another one. The first one would be the Director of the hospital, who is an infected. The second on is also an infected and he's also a doctor. This doctor is the head doctor of the new drug research team. Under the Directors orders he gives people the virus. The Director claims that he's using the virus to help cure cancer. With his vaccine there is a large chance of you becoming infected with the virus. As the show went on every time I saw the Director I said,"just die already! I don't like you!" I was screaming that. When it came to the evil doctor, I think I wanted him dead more than the Director.
This show is really amazing. It keeps in interested, and you get really into it. The action isn't all that good, but it is something. It keeps you guessing and at the end of every episode is a really annoying cliffhanger. I hate those things sometimes. It also has its fair share of sad moments, like the last 2 episodes. Ku Hye Sun who plays Ri Ta in this show is a doctor and her character in Boys Over Flowers wanted to be a doctor. So she filled her dream,m of becoming a doctor. The music for this show is really awesome. I want to download this soundtrack. I am waiting for it to come out. I need this OST.
Now we will start getting into the spoilers. Starting with the ending of episode 19. MY HYUN WOO DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a feeling that he might die after episode 17. I knew that the moment he died I would be done. The show wouldn't be the same and it wasn't. With out him it wasn't as good. My sidekick brought all the fun and adorableness to the show. He didn't do all of it himself but he was a little ball of light. His death wasn't necessary, he didn't have to die. He should've lived. In episode 20 when Luuvy came in and played a birthday message for Ji Sang it was really bitter-sweet. Honestly I didn't care what character died, as long as it wasn't Hyun Woo. FYI the evil doctor killed him over the files he had on the virus. I was so mad at that because Hyun Woo gave them the files but he still got killed. I was soooooo happy when the evil doctor died. It was about time for him to die! I was screaming out of happiness.
The last episode was really lacking. It might be because I was really numb from my sidekicks death. It didn't seem rushed it was just a really bad way of ending things. The Director did die towards the end, but he also lived his last few moments as a human. I wish that it was Ji Sang who turned into a human first, but no it had to be the Director. I don't know if that's because he was a human to begin with or what, I don't know. Than we have Ri Ta who ends up in a warehouse tied up. She went back to Boys Over Flowers with that. Before Hyun Woo died he discovered a possible cure. The only problem with that was that Ji Sang would have to give up his life. Ji Sang does give up his life and some how in the end comes back to life. He showed up in the last few minutes of the episode. I'm still confused about that. They wrapped the show up in a really bad way.
To warp it all up I will say a few more things. Ku Hye Sun did get some harsh criticism for her acting. I will say that she did a very good job. Her character was supposed to be that way and she shouldn't have to apologize for the way she acted in this show. For Ahn Jae Hyeon, who played Ji Sang, I felt he wasn't fully ready for a leading role. I think he should have waited a few more years till he played a leading role. He wasn't bad, but at times he came across as awkward. I really enjoyed this show up in till Hyun Woo died. It is still worth a watch though. I shall honor this post to the fictional character Joo Hyun Woo. You lived a good life.

My Love from Another Star review

If you are one that likes to binge watch dramas than you should check out this show. It was one of the most popular Korean dramas last year. It does not disappoint in any way. I have watched this show twice. The first time may have better only because I watched it in october and than I watched it again in December, so I remembered everything that happened.
This show is about a popular actress named Cheon Song Yi, who is full of her self. She's not that smart, you should never have her do twitter or any kind of social network. It's just a bad idea. Her carrer goes down hill after her arch enemy dies. The press thinks that Song Yi was responsible for her death because they never got along. They thought that Song Yi was bullying her so she decided to take her own life. Song Yis enemy did not take her own life, she was actually murdered. Then some other stuff happens. As she struggles with her career she gets closer to Do Min Joon, who happens to be an alien and who lived next door. I'm not going to give a full summary of what happens in the show, because than I would ruine everything. I have to keep somethings a secret.
The reason I fell in love with this show is not just because of the acting but also because Song Yi was really funny at times and other reasons. Kim Soo Hyun (Do Min Joon) and Jeon Ji Hyun (Cheon Song Yi) have such great chemistry in this show. They were the right actors for this show. I loved how Jeon Ji Hyun played the corky character that is Song Yi and how Kim Soo Hyun played the calm, collected character that is Do Min Joon. The acting was really great. I even made a new enemy on the show. I hated his guts, he deserved to go to jail. If I tell you who he is I would ruin all the fun.
The story to this show was something. I didn't think a love story with an alien would work out so well. I was proven wrong, like I normally am. They had so many things going on with the other characters not just the main ones. I felt like this show kind of let some of the minor characters shine on their own for a while. It was nice to see that. Also it wasn't just Song Yi that was wacky and weird, her mom and little brother were also that way. Her brother and Do Min Joon had a little bromance going on. It was kind of funny. He asked to do the E.T. thing with him. Song Yis brother was watched E.T. one to many times. Example of what I'm talking about is on the left. He is a weird brother, but he's also really protective of Song Yi.
There is so much to tell about this show. From the "Did I get rejected by chicken?" moment to the sweet moments Song Yi and Do Min Joon spent time together. There was still so much drama, but not as much as some other dramas I've watched. I my eyes watered quite a bit towards the end of the show. The last episode really emotional in a good way and in a bad way, I guess. You even see the characters develop to the point were you don't want the show to ever end. I did like the ending, but I really want a second season! I don't think that's ever going to happen, cause it's extremely rare for a kdrama to get another season. Its not like anime were there's a 50/50 shot of it getting a second season.
The music for this was really, really good. I love listening to this OST. It is my favorite drama soundtrack so far. The songs really fit it very well and it even has a song that fits the personality of Song Yi. She even has her own song! I like to listening to this OST a lot. I really the songs Destiny, goodbye, every moment of you (piano version) and past love. The songs have emotion behind them and when you listen to it as you watch the show you can hear it. Even if you're just listening to it just to listen to it. That's way it's my favorite.
When I watched My Love from Another Star the first time I was left with a void in my heart for a few days. I really loved this show, I would watch it again for a third time in a heartbeat. If you haven't watched this show yet you need to do that. This show is worth the watch and it's not a waste of your time. If you're looking for a good romance to watch with some tears, hating characters, than this is a good show to watch. Its not overly emotional like a lot of dramas are, its just the right amount. That about does it for My Love from Another Star. Peace. That's a Yo Na reference if you didn't already know. Big Kill me Heal me fan.

Sword Art Online review

I'm sure that if you watch anime then you've heard of Sword Art Online. I'm sure would have heard people say that the show sucks, it's a waste of your time, the story is bad, etc. Having watched the show twice and having been reading the light novels as they get in published in English, it's not that bad of a show. For those of you that don't know what SAO is about, well I'll tell you. It takes place in the year 2022 when the first VRMMORPG along with nerve gear comes out. The main character Kirito was a beta tester for the game Sword Art Online(SAO) and was one the first people to get the game. Once you logged on there was no going back. Once you were in the game you couldn't log out. "This may be a game but it's not something you play" - Kirito. Over like 100,000 players were trapped in the game. Cause if you died in the game you died in real life. If someone tried to remove your nerve gear than the nerve gear would fry your brain. The only way to escape was to beat all 100 floors and not die. That about sums it up.

I first watched a couple episodes of this show dubbed on toonami and than I watched the whole thing subbed. The sub is way better just saying. This show gets really bad reviews because they either haven't read the light novels or they look at the second half as if the first half never happened. I don't like the second half as much but it does help the story out. Yes this show is kind of like a harem and the first couple episodes are filler, but without them the show could have been a lot worse. The first light novel takes place on floor 74 and you don't know what happened on the lower floors. In the second light novel it has the stories that the filler episodes are based off of. Than there's SAO Progressive which focuses on the first floor I believe. I haven't read those novels yet.

The first half of the show is very powerful. There's a lot of action and some romance because it's an anime. I really loved the idea behind SAO and I loved the game. If that game came out in real life I would actually play it. I just don't want to get trapped in a game for two years. When I first watched SAO and I got to the second half I hated it. I didn't really like ALO(Alfheim Online). I also hated the fairy king. The last time I hated a character with a burning passion was when I watched Bleach. (Oh how I loathed Aizen!) Yes, Asuna had to have Kirito come and save her, but that wasn't her fault. She tried to escape but that failed and she couldn't leave her bird cage because of something to do with the bar. It all makes sense if you read volumes 3-4. Asuna never really got a lot of time as a character. We didn't get a lot of her background information as we did with Kirito.

What I like is that the second season foucses on Asuna a little more. We get to see more of her character. In the second season we also have the game Gun Gale Online(GGO). I really loved that game too. I wouldn't play it but it was really interesting. We also were introduced to Sinon and we get to see as she over comes her problems in the real world through the game. You can tell that as the series goes on the author is getting better at development.

I could go one and on about SAO and way I like it and what I didn't like so much but I am not going to. If you do watch this show just keep in mind that the light novels are much better and that the second season might be better than the first. Keep an open mind when you watch this show, you should also read the books too, you might think of the show in a different light after reading them. SAO does have flaws but as it goes on it does get better. There are a lot of female characters, but that's something you have to live with.  Now stare at this adorable picture of Yui. You can not say that she doesn't melt your heart.



Fated to love you Korean remake review

When I first heard of this show I wasn't going to watch it. It just didn't catch my interest that much. I didn't think it would be all that good. But a few months ago I read an article by Dramafever on the saddest kdrama OST songs. The video for Goodbye my Love by Ailee from the fated to love you was on there. So I watched it and my eyes water. I didn't watch the show, but I was crying because of the lyrics and the video. That video was what made me watch this show. I am really glade that I watched this show. It was totally worth it. I thought that I would have a lot of Love Rain moments, lots of crying, but that didn't happen a whole lot. Episode 11 and 12 were probably the worst in terms of real heavy emotion.
This show really is something. You have the two main actors who end up having a baby together, but lose the baby before it is born. They got married because of the baby, so their marriage wasn't out of love. Than you have the neighborhood oppa and the girlfriend of male lead. As I watched this show I never hated anyone. Which is a first for me. Normally there's one character that I hate no matter what. I couldn't hate anyone in this one. If anything I felt bad for all of them. I mean the female lead and the male lead get a divorce and female lead goes to Paris than comes back after 3 years.
This show has a lot of heart to it. You see all the hardships that everyone goes through. You feel for Mi Young (female lead) and Gun (male lead). I would have liked to see Mi Young end up with Daniel (neighborhood oppa) instead of Gun, but I knew that wasn't possible. Her heart already belonged to Gun. He caused her so much pain so I didn't want her to go through that again. There are only so many shows were the second male lead gets the girl. More second male leads need to get the girl.
I am happy that Gun and Mi Young both got their happily ever after with each other. It was fun to see the evolution of Guns hair. I liked his hair he best when it was short. I also really loved how when Mi Young came back after 3 years that she was more fashionable. I loved a lot of her clothes. This show is an unforgettable one and a must watch. It may be sad but it has its fun, more happy moments too. Every time you hear Goodbye my Love though your eyes will start to water. That is a fact. Seeing how these characters grow and move on from their pain memories and how the handle them is something. At times it can be hard watching them go through what they go through, but it all works out in the end.
I feel like Fated to love You is a show that you can relate to. All the problems that they go through are very much realistic, minus maybe some, but they could happen. It is a show that invaded my dreams just because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. So if you watch kdramas and you've seen this show and plan on not watching it, watch it. If you like kdramas or not I say its a show that you should watch. And if your still not sure just watch the Goodbye my Love video.

Pandora Hearts manga review

Pandora Hearts is by far my favorite manga and I've read a lot of manga. If you don't know what it's about, well I will give a brief summary. Pandora is about a boy named Oz who gets cast into this place called the Abyss on his 15th birthday. He meets a girl named Alice, also known as the B-Rabbit, who is looking for her memories that she lost. Oz and Alice form a contact and they get out of the Abyss, but there's a price to it. There's no time in the Abyss so when they came back 10 years went by. Oz was lucky that he made it back to his time periode. Some people that fall into the Abyss and come back aren't that lucky. So that's a break down of what the series is about.

I love with series for so many reasons. I am trying to buy all 24 volumes and I currently have volumes 4 and 17-22. I still have a long ways to go. Jun Mochizuki did a excellent job with this series. The way that she had all these twits and turns and a major plot twist in the middle of the series was amazing. I don't really care for plot twists because they can go so badly if you just decided to put one in. It was a really well thought out plot twist and I can really see way she did it the way she did. The story has so many elements to it. It has get character development, great background story and so many other things. 
One thing that I really loved about this story is that it had a really interesting background story that could be kind of hard to follow at times with all the characters, but it was really amazing. It was kind of nice to learn the background and than see how that has a role in the story later as it goes on. How she made some good guy characters into bad guys and bad guys into good guys was really fun to read about. She would have a reason for doing for what she did. It wasn't just random. There may have been a lot of characters and I mean A LOT, but you learn all of them by name with out really knowing it. And before you know it they grow on you, so when you see one of your favorite characters die it's saddening. 


This series has so many twists and turns and full of suspense that you can't just read one volume, you have to read them all. It makes you laugh and before you know it, it takes a serious turn and it's a life or death matter. My two favorite characters in this whole series is Break and Lacie. I love Break a lot, he was a really unique one. You couldn't really tell what he was going to do next. Giving Break his puppet Emily was smart. It made him seem like an odd ball because he would make Emily talk. When I first read the series I thought that the thing could actually talk. It can't. 

Lacie may not have gotten a lot of time as a character, but her role is very important to the story. I loved learning about her and her history with Jack. When yoy learned about Lacie you learn the reason Jack did what he did. I don't really know why I love Lacie so much, I just do. It might have to do with the fact that I spent so long not knowing who she was and than I finally knew who she was and I just fell in love with her character. She just has this charm were you can't help but love her. Now that is my thoughts on Pandora Hearts my favorite manga series. Check it out, you will not be disappointed at all.
