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...

Shut Up Flower Boy Band - Review

Rock stars, Love, Fame, Self discovery and Much More!!! Wah! This drama made me fume in anger , shed silent tears, writhe in worry and laugh out loud. It is the perfect combination of fiction and reality, slice of life, tells it like it is and a lesson for all of those who want to make it big in the entertainment business. The drama revolves around a bunch of high school boys, at the peak of their lives, having fun and fights, all attached to each other with their love of music or is the other way around? In any case we see these boys go through all that life can throw at someone. This story is not a sugar coated, rainbow land of fairy tales. We see these boys experience fame, love, friendship, making life decisions and the death of one of their own. In the midst of all of the scandals and rumors they learn life lessons and grow as humans. After you watch the last episode of this drama I can guarantee that for a moment you will feel that surreal feeling where you ques...
