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 wher

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 things tha

Kill Me, Heal Me Vs Hyde, Jekyll, Me - Review

Seemingly there is soooooo much common between these two dramas, like they both aired in the January of 2015 or that they both are about Chaebols suffering with the same psychological disorder ( Dissociative Identity Disorder) , who are trying to hide their demons from the world and will be saved by ladies in shinning lop gloss. Aaaaaaannnnnddd that's just about it! Other then the basic plot which seems very rudimentary at first sight but has its own depths of each drama, both the stories are very different from each other. Let's save the best for last and talk about  Hyde, Jekyll, Me first. The aesthetics are very eye catching, that include the male lead, Hyun Bin with  his two charming personalities (Gu Seo Jin and Robin)  that hate each other. For them to live a normal life Gu seo Jin must come to terms with his past and deal with the sorrow and anxiety that comes with it, but turns out he's a coward. Evidently there are a lot of changes to be made before he could
