Currently Watching: May Edition My drama watching has gone down significantly this past year. I like to think it is because I have become more balanced in my drama consumption and not that there have been less interesting dramas lately. Although, it could be a mix of both honestly. The show I am…

I am in my early twenties and my goal for this blog is to finish writing a story I started almost a decade ago and perhaps find it in myself to start a new story. I love the Phantom of the Opera, the Host, and pop culture references. I love to read and I am new to blogging.
That is what this started as...but it has turned into a fangirl blog about Korean dramas. 😍
Anyeonghasaeyo!
About me and my drama obsession:
I watch dramas to escape the dreary reality, so I only like dramas that are not going to make me more miserable. So no tragedies. No major character deaths. In order to avoid this, I do much research of the dramas I want to watch before I start them and get hooked.
I am wimp when it comes to bloodshed, but I love saguek stories. So I read the recaps at dramabeans.com in order to get the story. But I think the only saguek that I actually watched was Sungkyunkwan Scandal.
I really LOVE getting second lead syndrome because I like to think the second lead is the man I will be able to end up with someday. MWAhahahahaha! Seriously though, I always love the leading man. But by the end of the story, I usually think he only belongs with that one character forever. And I usually have nothing in common with that character. But the second lead, I could probably convince him to fall in love with my crazy.
MY ONE TRUE FOREVER DRAMALAND LOVE
Park Bo Gum
MY CURRENT SEASONAL DRAMALAND CRUSH
Park Hyung Shik...I like him when he smiles, I like him when he cries. I am rooting for him. Hyung Shik-shi fighting!
Nam Joo Hyuk...and his abs...also his smile...but mostly those abs.
MY CURRENT OBSESSION(S)
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
MY FAVORITE BROMANCE(S)
I Remember You- because Bo Gum-shi
MY OTPs
I don’t really believe in OTPs...I usually like the couples that end up together. My all time favorite couple would probably be Bo Ra and Sun Woo from Reply 1988. Also, pretty much anyone with Park Shin Hye. She always seems to genuinely be in love with whoever she is co starring with at the time.
MY FIVE FAVORITE DRAMAS (so far)
Kill Me, Heal Me
Doctor Crush
Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Pinocchio
I Remember You
CURRENT OST ON REPEAT
Another Ms. Oh/ Another Oh Hae Young - I have strangely fallen in love with this soundtrack. But recently I finally switched back to BTS and EXO mostly.
Georgette Heyer
It seems like I will go a full month or even two without writing anything, and then when I finally do post something, I just go on a posting spree. Well, I mentioned in my previous post that I have been reading more lately, and so I wanted to talk about that a bit. Specifically,…
Currently Watching: May Edition
My drama watching has gone down significantly this past year. I like to think it is because I have become more balanced in my drama consumption and not that there have been less interesting dramas lately. Although, it could be a mix of both honestly. The show I am enjoying the most right now is…
Disneyland After Dark: Heroes Assemble!
What is Disneyland After Dark? It is when the park stays open after hours. But you have to purchase a special ticket to get to enjoy this perk. It costs about the equivalent of a daytime ticket, so you may ask, is it worth it? The short answer is, yes. I recently went to…
The Beauty Inside- Drama Review
The Beauty Inside I was so glad when I saw that Viki picked up this drama. I had thought I would never get to see it when DramaFever (RIP) died. But it looks like Viki is really taking the initiative and pulling in a lot of dramas that they didn’t have before. So, although…
The Last Empress
So this post is, obviously, about the Last Empress. First, I will give a spoiler free review of the show…well relatively spoiler free, I do talk about a few things that happen in the first couple of episodes, but I am vague about it. After that review though, all bets are off. I go deep…
Man Crush Monday
Last week I delighted you guys with Joel Roberts, and I feel like just talking about these cute guys cheers me up on my dreaded Mondays. And so this week, I have decided to spot light someone I have been keeping my eye on for some time now. I first noticed him in July 2018,…
DramaFever RIP
It has been difficult for me to write this post because I want to make it semi-humorous, but it is actually very painful for me. I realize it isn’t super rational for me to be this upset about something so superficial, but nonetheless, I cannot help how I feel. The death of Dramafever, gave me…
Valentine’s Day
I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day (or as I like to call it, Single Awareness Day), or any holidays for that matter (for religious reasons). But I would have to live under a rock to not notice that it is that time of year for all the hearts and roses and chocolates. Now, in my opinion…
I know my Writes!
