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. 😅😅😅😅

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

Queen of Mystery - Season 2 (Review)

http://asianwiki.com/Queen_of_Mystery_2 I can't even begin to talk about how happy I am to see our beloved Ahjumma out and about solving cases, poking her nose in places she shouldn't be. I really really loved the show the first time around. As it actually made me feel fear to the extent that I wanted to stop watching, but the suspense was so strong that I had no other choice but to continue. Her knack for attracting serial killers to her neighborhood, her nosy mother in law, her personal investigation team made up of other Ahjummas and police officials along with he talent for ruining any cuisine, had been my private moments of excitement, joy and fear. Now she is back and trying to become a police officer while solving cases. Even though I still love her and the show, and am one the edge every time an episode ends but I must say that they have not reached the same level of intrigue this time. May be they set the bar too high? Or I expected too much. Do not get me wro...

Bride of The Water God - Review (K drama)

The drama is about a deity who is almost all powerful but needs to find some stones on earth so he can be the king of all deities. He lands on earth looses his powers and meets a psychiatrist, who turns out to be his servant. Now he needs to gather the stones and go back to claim his throne. But wait! For some mysterious reason he lost all his powers, his map and deities who were supposed to hand over the stones to him- avoid him. I will start with the good stuff, the actors were cool, they did an awesome job, the scenery was beautiful and the beginning was quite hopeful (In terms of story development). I read somewhere that the land of water was actually shot in an Indian Mahal, so kudos to the production team for making that happen. There were many highs and lows in the plot that kept you hooked. You could feel the hard work everyone put in the project, the graphics were really cool and characters were likable. I...

Deadman Wonderland- Why It Deserves A Second Season

Deadman Wonderland: Ganta I saw an article online and I can't understand why this anime is getting so much hate. I personally loved it. From what I understand from the article and the comments people were disappointed with the ending of the manga, and how the anime does not follow the same path as the manga. I don't think these are reasons why you should hate an anime. (but to all their own) The anime is about a boy named Ganta who gets framed for killing his entire class. Being the only one who knows the unbelievable truth about how his friends died and not being able to defend himself, he is sent to prison on a death sentence. The prison is privately run facility that makes its prisoners play dangerous survival games for entertainment. He is surrounded by bloodthirsty inmates with a collar around his neck that is slowly killing him. While all he can think of is getting back at the Red Man who killed his friends and brought him to this hell. That's basically the g...
