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...

Queen Of Mystery-Review

           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 accidently become a part of a drug related case. Which leads our lovely Ahjumma/ Aghashi to meet the tsudere cop who was originally working on the case. As things turn out he and the nosy housewife need to work together to solve the case. Both these main characters have dark things in their past that they need to solve for them to be at peace.      As far as romance is concerned, this drama does have one sided crushes but there are too many secrets and lies for things to get serious. Which actually made sense and if somehow a romance had blossome...

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 ...

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 ma...

Suspicious Partner - Review

     Suspicious partner  revolves around law, justice and morals. It is a perfect blend of crime, action, adventure and romance. With just the right amount of comic relief, it tells us a story about an aspiring prosecutor who is wrongly accused of killing her ex-boyfriend, a prosecutor with a strong sense of justice, a serial killer looking for revenge, lovers who betray their partners and friends who need to make amends. It focuses on issues like rape, murder and arson, and tells us what might happen if crimes go unpunished.       I personally think that this drama can be taken as something that other dramas should aspire to. It has a well rounded plot with highly developed characters, having great emotional depth. Anyone who has lost someone important in their lives will relate to the emotions that these characters are feeling.            The chemistry between the wrongly accused female lead and the prosecuto...

The K2 - Review

      The K2 is a drama about a military man, who has been removed from his position on false accusations and is now in hiding. His already damned fate takes another bitter turn when he witnesses a presidential candidate in a not so decent setting, which leads him to be on the run again. This drama is also about a girl who has spent most of her life in captivity because she is the illegitimate daughter of a politician. The plot is very interesting and deep, with themes that are relevant to not just Korean society but any place that is rotting with corruption. One of the themes that appealed to me, the most, was that every person is both a lamb and a wolf, and the position changes based on their circumstances.          I just finished watching this drama and I am a little disappointed. It is a much loved drama and I thought it would be great and it was in the beginning, but as the episodes go by it becomes a little annoying. The plot is sooooooo...

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...
