To The Beautiful You (2012) {KDrama Review}

Cute & Quirky . . . But Not My Favorite.

I deeply enjoyed watching this drama and I would definitely recommend giving it a go. But It's nothing of any cinematic genius. In fact, it's pretty much one of the few things that I could consider a guilty pleasure. It's an Idol Drama, but that's not why it's not all that good. The acting is superb for what the script allows, the writing is just plain terrible. It was painfully terrible in places, utterly beyond belief and simply atrocious overall. I don't really have time to give a full review, but short and sweet: it's a cute watch, the main trio are endearing, the ending is a cop-out, and the dog is the best part. This drama really isn't very good, and yet, I watched it all the way through and truly enjoyed doing so. It's on Netflix, so try it out.

I Give It 3.5 Stars!

As long as you can set aside your grasp on reality and you don't require good writing to enjoy the situations presented by a story, this drama is really a treat to watch. And there's plenty of eye-candy, too.

The Theives (도둑들) (2012) {KMovie Review}

Great for a Laugh, and for a Cry.

I watched this movie for three reasons. First, it was on Netflix and I had nothing better to do. Secondly, I'm supposed to be practicing my Korean since I'm heading off to Seoul in a few weeks. And Thirdly, the Trailer was hilarious and action packed with the slick styling of something from the Ocean's series. With that in mind as I began watching the movie, I found The Theives more than lived up to my expectations. It's certainly not the most compelling thing I have ever seen in my entire life, but it was definitely a treat to watch. It's a fantastic movie for it's action and adventure, for it's comedy, and even for the underlying drama that pushes the whole story along.

I Give It 4 Stars!

I'm definitely recommending this one! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm sure that there's a ton of people who haven't seen it yet. And to top off the fun of it all, Kim SooHyun plays a delightful role in the plot proceedings! There's no spoilers in the Review, no worries.

The Movie was great, the Drama was Better:

I came into this one pretty wary. I loved the 2010 movie and I didn't think that expanding it into a drama would be a terribly grand idea. I was entirely wrong though. I ended up watching just after I finished Monstar (sometime mid July), and am just now getting around to review it because I wanted to take my time and give it the full review it deserves. The Summer 2013 drama captures every bit of the movie's quirky charm and develops all of the characters, including several not found in the movie, much more fully, in beautifully subtle and wonderfully attractive ways. I HIGHLY recommend watching it. This is a fantastic series, poignant, adorable, every inch of fabulous imaginable. The mini-plots and arcs are carried over extraordinarily well, the side characters are fully developed and lovable, SooYoung is spunky and sweet, and every single one of the boys around her is much more than just eye-candy.

I give it 5 Stars!

My full review is under the cut, in case there's anyone out there who hasn't seen it yet. I think you should definitely go watch it first, but if you're okay with spoilers . . . (actually there's not really that many).

MONSTAR (2013) {Kdrama Review}

I Watch MVs for the Stories, and Kdramas for the Music . . .

I give it a 3.5.

That's not entirely true. But it sort of is, at least for Monstar. I'm not gonna lie, JunHyung is the main reason I started this one. Hearing his voice on the OST tracks, utilized so differently than it is in BEAST . . . it set my little fangirl heart all aflutter.
I love Kdramas, and Animes, and even some American TV shows because of the epic storytelling in them. I'm always super-late to the show's fandom, and therefore to reviewing them because I don't watch any Kdramas until they've finished Airing. I can't stand the week to week anticipation, and since I don't really have to, it seems stupid to stress myself out with it. Besides, I'm crazy-busy, so taking a day-off to watch a whole series in one go is easier in the long run than to spend more than an hour a day on new episodes (I'd rather use that hour to sleep than you very much).

In case anyone else is late to the party, I'm putting my review under the cut to hide any spoilers. The short of it is that this was a pretty good series. I DO recommend watching it. JunHyung is fabulous, Ha YeonSoo is freakin adorable, and Kang HaNeul is pretty smoothe himself. And the music . . . well, the music is pretty much perfect.
