Descendants of the Sun - Review (I was SO Wrong)

     This drama has many layers. The top one is obviously the romance between a solider and a civilian doctor, and their journey to overcome their differences. But if we look beyond that layer it has hidden themes that work on an even deeper level. These themes include war and it's price, natural disasters and their aftermath, corrupt officials and their effect on society, soldiers and what they have to go through in the name of peace and last but not the least doctors and their sense of duty.

     This drama was released last year but I put it off for such a long time because I thought that it would focus on war between North and South Korea. With the story being one sided, having mostly fight scenes and death. But I was sooooooooooo wrong, because this story is soooooooo much more than that. It not only tells us a story from both sides, it also low key shows how on both sides of border we are all humans. Which for me was a very mature thing to do and makes this drama a winner.

     I am sorry for being prejudiced, but I am happy that I finally watched it. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

Best Part: Soldiers running around the camp while the female doctors gawk at them.
Worst Part: None.

You Are too Much - Review

This drama is too much, too too too Toooooooooo Much!!! So the story revolves around two women. One being a popular star and the other her imitator. This drama is filled up to the brim with shouting, screaming, kicking, beating, potting, crying, lying, deceiving  and cheating. Before watching this drama you must know that no one in the rich family eats, they only gather at the table to fight If for once they do eat that just means they have acquired the energy to fight even more. It is one of the first dramas that I watched and has more then 21 episodes. The plot is amazing and the first few episodes really reel you in but then the one of the main character get changed because they got sick in real life #getwellsoon, and the drama sort of looses a little bit of its charm. When The actor was first replaced I dropped the drama and though that I would probably never see it again but the story stayed in my head and I wanted to know what would happen next. Yes, there are moments ...

Beautiful Mind

This is a poster for  Beautiful Mind . The poster art copyright is believed to belong to  Korean Broadcasting System . I just finished watching this drama and I do not know what to do with my life any more. The story is so good and I loved each character. The power rangers are amazing doctors, I loved to see them gossip and make fun of each other. The story is about a sociopath doctor. He is unable to feel empathy and all his decisions are based on logic alone. He starts connecting with his emotions as he goes through trials and tribulations in the hospital. A female police inspector gives him a chance and tries to teach him basic human emotions. Their love story is amazing, I actually imagined them grown old together (sob). I am not sure why but I do not really like dramas based on medical practices. My main reason for giving this drama a try was Jang Hyuk and I was not disappointed. He never fails to bring a personality to life with each of his characters. A few t...

Best Korean Dramas Of 2017

     I think it is safe to say that 2017 was/is the Year of BTS and Prosecutors in K-Land.  So congratulations to the band for everything they achieved this year and I hope they keep going up and I know the year isn't over yet but I think we have a enough material for a post like this.      These dramas may not be the most popular but I really liked them! This article is based on my opinion but the dramas are not in any particular order I just like them all. Queen Of Mystery I really loved this show and I am so happy that it is getting a second season. It's a story about a housewife who lives with her mother and sister in law. She spends most of her day cleaning, cooking and washing, but when no one is looking she reads and researches crimes.One fateful day she helps a cop solve a crime and her mystery adventures begin, but things cant always be safe when you are playing this game. We learn that as she and the neighborhood cop accidentally becom...
