Memories of the Alhambra: A Review

It could have been a memorable masterpiece that breakthroughs the common kdrama’s stereotypes. It could have been a drama to reminisce years from now given its magnificent cinematography and a Hyun Bin within. Instead, the drama managed to fail the expectations of its avid viewers and left everyone dumbfounded towards the stupid ambiguous conflict resolution. If you ask me the reason I wanted to…

Yumi's Cells Season 2: A Review

Kdrama producers occasionally make dramas in multiple seasons, the trend of which have been increasing ever since Netflix has taken over more drama productions in the past few years. Some of them are gems, the others remain mediocre or fail to meet the expectations and leave a lot to be desired given the bar set up from the first season. Can’t say the same with this series because Yumi’s Cells…

Hiding in the Dungeon

It’s been quite a long time since I write a personal message like this instead of submitting an art review. 2023 almost comes to an end eventually and, in order to embark a new journey of 2024, I deem it necessary to sort out things that have been bugging my mind. As time passes, more relationships begin taking a toll on my sanity in that nothing ever lasts forever. People grow apart from one…

Go Backpacking: 7D6N in Vietnam

Would you believe me if I told you that Vietnam has far been my most beautiful traveling experience? I might not have marked a lot of destinations all my life and have never gone beyond Asia, but this country definitely sparks alluring winsomeness that meekly waits to be seen through its facade. On my first trip ever to Vietnam, I somehow managed to delve into the southern and central Vietnam,…

Yumi's Cells Season 1: A Review

Humans are far the most complicated beings on Earth that revolve around what their heart and mind opt out for, each of whom consists of diversified braincells at a personal dose. That being said, even the slightest difference of ingredients can make up an entirely distinctive personality from one another. Here in the fantasy world of Yumi’s Cells Season 1 (2021), we are brought to an…

Dilan 1991: A Review

It didn’t occur to me that I would come back to the Dilan franchise and write another review of the novel after such a long time, but an anonymous person’s request lit up my determination to make a return. Here I am, recommencing my journey through the world of Dilan and Milea that feels like a feel-good morning coffee to sip under the gorgeous sunshine as I am waiting for the moon to come. I…

Bad Romeo: A Review

Among all of Thai lakorns I have checked out on Netflix, this series has far been my most valuable investment. Not that I have seen so many, but Bad Romeo (2022) managed to set the bar profoundly high despite all the makjangs. From the acting quality of the main leads to the complexity of the plot and even the chemistry exuded, the whole 17 episodes made me wonder just how much this series would…

Put Your Head on My Shoulder: A Review

After falling into C-drama slumps for a few months, I recently picked up an anticipated title and recommenced my journey with My Girlfriend is an Alien Season 2 (2022). I also wrote a review on the first season of My Girlfriend is an Alien (2019), which I quite loved as well. Looking back, I don’t think I have appreciated this series enough. Put Your Head on My Shoulder (2019) was one of the…

Romance is a Bonus Book: A Review

I was contemplating about which series I was supposed to write a review on after finishing a long lakorn My Forever Sunshine (2020) until I got deliriously-immersed in Little Women (2022) and encountered Wi Ha Joon’s resplendent persona. Something about his solid gaze and genuine smile lures people in without exception. He was a special shoutout as a second lead when I was reviewing 18 Again…

My Forever Sunshine: A Review

To be frankly honest, it didn’t occur to me that there would be a day that I would write a review on a Thai lakorn, not even once. As a long-time Korean drama’s avid fan, I have always set a particular bar when it comes to series I would want to enjoy whole-heartedly. Some Thailand movies were fun to watch, but for lakorn? Not so much for particular reasons. I first came across My Forever…

The Light in Your Eyes: A Review

Time has always been the most valuable commodity one could never buy or get refund with. The clock ticks irreversibly which nobody could go against. Thus, movies and dramas about time manipulation serve as a dreamed utopia to temporarily deviate from reality, one of which is The Light in Your Eyes (2019). It’s not an underrated show by any means, but still a drama you shouldn’t miss out. Never…

Twenty Five Twenty One: A Review

Have you ever encountered a tormenting farewell with someone whom you have never wished to get apart from? It’s painful because never has the parting crossed your mind at all; because this person is so dear that you want to keep him inside your pocket for a lifetime. It could have been forever, but, instead, it became another lesson. This drama is the kind of harrowing heartbreak that started off…

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo: A Review

After watching Nam Joo Hyuk’s recent drama Twenty Five Twenty One (2022) (a genuinely well-made one that I would love to review, soon), I am more than convinced that progress doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a rather long long winding journey until nobody knows, but a sure and steady one when diligently practiced. He was notoriously a bad actor before, but he keeps developing his skills that…

What Could Have been Better in 2gether the Series and Still 2gether?

After more than a decade long being an avid Korean drama’s fan, it’s only recently that I am beginning to get enticed by Thailand series (or lakorn). My first Thailand show ever was the highly-recognized Crazy Little Thing Called Love (2010), a very cute but also heart-wrenching coming-of-age movie about dealing with your high school crush and the heartbreak. Ten years later, I came across a…

Our Beloved Summer: A Review

I usually make up my mind to write a drama review upon watching the ending, by contemplating whether this drama is worth my time and energy or not. This is one of the very few occasions that I would write a review for a still ongoing drama, amidst days of waiting another week to uncover the ending scene. As if being attracted by a magnet, this drama lures me into another world whose weather is…

Hometown Cha Cha Cha: A Review

Here’s a thing about Kim Seon Ho’s past scandal: a lot of people, including myself, owe him a genuine apology for what we had accused him of in mind before the truth came to light. I even wrote a scribbling post expressing my disappointment in him when the scandal first occurred, which was exposed right after the final episode of Hometown Cha Cha Cha aired. All the buzzes surrounding the scandal…
