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...

Grave of The Fireflies - Review

Grave of The Fireflies You know in the beginning that they will (Spoiler Alert) die and/or get separated, yet the end still does not fail to shatter your heart. I had been avoiding this movie for a long, long time because I knew it was a sad one, but for some reason I decided to watch it today. Now my throat aches, my jaw is all clenched up and my eyes are filled with tears. I do not know who to blame? I mean this story is not just about two children left to fend for themselves, its about war, careless adults,poverty, greed and cruelty. I don't know much about world history but whenever there is war its the weak who suffer most. I heard somewhere when two bulls fight it's the grass that crushed. personally I am a pacifist. I do believe in Freud's explanation of Thantos but there is also Eros. So if people have aggressive tendencies they also have nurturing one. It should be all balanced out but sadly it isn't and Hayao Miyazaki shows that to us throu...

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo - Review

Photo by  Cyril Saulnier  on  Unsplash This drama is a must watch for any and every k-drama addict and if you are not an addict yet, it would definitely make you one. It's not a love story not between a rich Romeo and a poor Juliet, who need protection. It is lobe story of two athletes the strong woman Kim Bok Joo (a weight lifting protege) and Jung Joon Hyung (an amazing swimmer with psychosomatic issues). All in all its a match made in Heaven. Both the lead roles are cute and perfect for one another. P.s. They are dating in real life. Fingers crossed for their happy and ever lasting love. Favorite character: Kim Bok Joo,  cause she is amazing 💕💕💕 P.P.S her friends are awesoooommmeee!!!!

Fight For My Way (Review)

This drama is fairly unconventional in the sense that incorporates careers, dreams and emotions in a very realistic way. Yes, it does have a love triangle and other conventional parts that all romantic k-dramas have but it gives all of that a practical touch. Four childhood friends, pursue their lives while forgetting their dreams but as the story develops their realize their dreams again and literally fight for their way. Park Seo Joon for his dream to become a fighter and Kim Ji Won for her dream to become an announcer. while pursuing their dreams they come to terms with their feeling and fall in love. The only obstacle their dreams and their wish to keep each other safe. And also a crazy ex from the past who wont take no for an answer.

Cheese In The Trap - Review

Based of of a webtoon this drama is about a girl and her time in college. This drama perfectly identifies and portrays the hardships of students. From fighting for course registration to heavy load of social scrutiny, from meeting deadline to unpredictable love lines, this drama has it all. Trapped between a stalker, the cold-hearted sunbae and angsty/fun friend, our female lead tries to find love and safely graduate. The drama also has a feminist side to it as well, pointing out how the family spent money on their son to get a foreign degree while the sister had to work part tome jobs on top of her scholarship to bridge the gap. It is a perfect blent of Painful past, hard choices, love triangle, jealousy,  peer pressure, dreams and the determination to achieve them. The only downside: There isn't enough of it. Let's just cross our fingers for a second season (highly unlikely though). My favorite character: Baek In Ha, she is beautiful, wild, free and una...

This one is a must watch for any one who is alive! It is totally relatable, even though I was born in 91 but still I get it. The youthful comrades, growing up in the same neighbor, sharing and actually caring. This one features a group of children who have grown up together and now its time for them to look at possible careers and life partners. In the Juxtapositions between the pasta and the future we see these people struggle with growing up and learning life lessons. So what happens when two friend like the same girl? The importance of time and pain of not being able to grasp it we see all of this capsuled in to an enriching story that leaves you wondering, what if?

Fated to Love you (Review)

If there was an award for the best Rom Com of all time and I was appointed to give it to one drama, I would give it to Fated To Love You, this drama completely changes the way you look at things. It is a complete balance between romance, comedy and real life. What happens is that our sweet innocent heroine accidentally slips into a hotel room believing it is the one she shares with her partner. Things happen in the dark, confusion ensues in the morning but by the evening the unsuspecting characters separate on a friendly note. They have no idea what is coming next. Poor Kim Mi Young (Jang Na Ra) discovers what's about to happen and tries to deal with it alone but ends up marrying Lee Gun the baby daddy. But that's not the end of it , it's actually the beginning of a beautiful relationship that has yet to endure the scalding heat of reality, as they both try to overcome their insecurities and accept each other. What makes this drama special is that the story i...
