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...

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...
