I planned to do this on a weekly basis, but ooops, I missed last week! It's starting to get sooo busy in school so I'm really missing-in-action in the blogoshpere :( 1. Cold cold cold overnight swimming! My friend, James, celebrated his birthday with a swimming getaway. We went overnight swimming (7pm-4am) in a resort. It was already cold around 11 pm and we stayed on the pool for one hour haha! (weaklings!) The rest of the...
1. My dad's health is finally okay. He had kidney issues and was in fact operated last November due to a large stone in his kidney. Just this afternoon he had his check-up and the result said his medical is clear. Thank you, Papa Jesus ♥♥ 2. Ramen Kuroda Unli Noodles with bestfriends and boyfriend. We finally decided to meet and try the unli noodles in Ramen Kuroda. It was a memorable lunch date because...
Ramen Kuroda's SM Manila branch is having their unli noodles promo from Jan 16-22, 2017. Ever since I read their facebook post, I got enticed. UNLI NOODLES? Heck, yes! I wouldn't let this pass even if I am on a diet (weh haha). My bestfriend and I planned to eat there last Wednesday during our breaks. SM Manila, being so near to Mapua was a very convenient place cause I didn't need to commute. When...
I wrote a post about my top 5 korean drama of 2016, but as I was finalizing it, I came to a halt. I reread my mini review for each drama and thought to myself, gosh 3 out of 5 of these have more negative comments than positive, and if I could rate those 3 dramas, all of them would've gotten 3 stars. My post might even discourage the readers more than excite and pique their interest....
This is one of the drama that really pained me to rate or even review. I loved the beginning; I believe it made a great foundation for the story, but in the end, this drama dragged and became boring. The ending of the drama, however, was a 4 stars for me. It gave me the chill and right kind of emotion melodramatic themed dramas are known for. I was so excited for this because it's Kim Woo Bin (huhu oppa!!!) and Suzy Bae in a drama. I kept lying to myself that it would turn out good even if I already dread a disastrous spectacle to happen. All we got here was angst and more angst. The characters made little growth all throughout 20 episodes.
I. WANTED. SO. BAD. TO. LIKE. THIS. Believe me. I wouldn't even finish it if I don't have hopes for it to get better. We have a very quirky set of characters. Usually quirky characters are fun for they are usually entertaining, but it felt like the characters here received a memo to overdo or to underplay their roles. There's no in-between. The plot was just too boring for me. Each episode is just like the other and you could totally shorten this drama to 10 episodes and it'll stay the same. But hey, I still liked a few things: Baek In Ho as the second lead; and the narration in each scene/episode was A+.
