Just a drama-loving drama llama
The Perfect Match has the honor of being the second fully-recapped drama on this blog! After five on-and-off years. Wow, I'm really bad at this. But let's focus on this show, shall we? The Perfect Match is about a young night market cook Wei Fen Qing (Ivy Shao), who challenges Michelin star chef Huo Ting… Continue reading Drama Review: The Perfect Match
Crash Landing on You has been wildly popular thanks to Netflix and mandatory isolation, but for good reason. In some ways it's a very conventional drama, but it's wonderfully written and well-paced and stands out for how it humanizes all its characters and stories. It's a beautiful love story about the power of love, friendship,… Continue reading Drama Review: Crash Landing on You
Before We Get Married (我們不能是朋友) is easily my favorite drama that I've watched this year. To be fair, I've watched all of three dramas this year, but it's also probably my favorite drama that I've watched since Goblin. Based on the trailers, opening sequence, and description, it sounded like Before We Get Married would be… Continue reading Drama Review: Before We Get Married (我們不能是朋友)
Long time no post! I've been busy trying to catch up on American entertainment and non-Internet life so I haven't been keeping up with my dramas, but I had a lot of surprise solo time this holiday season so I decided to do a quick binge watch of something on Netflix: Triad Princess! Triad Princess… Continue reading Drama Review: Triad Princess (极道千金)
While at home for Thanksgiving break, I decided to jump back into Korean-drama-land for a bit and binge watched Bring It On, Ghost! This horror-comedy-youth romance was cute, light-hearted, and had enough laughs to make up for the creepy moments. It was a bit weak in terms of plot (so many holes and inconsistencies!) but overall a… Continue reading Drama Review: Bring It On, Ghost!
If you're looking for a full summary of the plot and characters, check out the Spoiler Zone: Suddenly This Summer! Suddenly This Summer (忽而今夏) has the honor of the being my first fully-recapped drama, and for good reason! A youth/coming-of-age drama similar to other favorites of mine like With You, Stand by Me, and In a… Continue reading Drama Review: Suddenly This Summer (忽而今夏)
Where to begin with The Journey from Tonight is White (aka The Endless Love, 路从今夜白之遇见青春)? (Unfortunately, I don't have enough interest to finish recapping it -- sorry!) I have a lot of mixed feelings about this show. Some parts of it were so good and so unlike a cliché drama, yet some parts were just too much. Ultimately,… Continue reading Drama Review: The Journey from Tonight is White (路从今夜白)
It's been 2 years since I last watched a Korean drama, but Goblin was a beautiful, roller-coaster of a reintroduction to the K-drama world. It wasn't a perfect drama, but it was pretty close to it, with all the laughs, tears (SO many tears!), bittersweetness, and love that I could want from a drama. For those who… Continue reading Drama Review: Goblin
To Be With You is simultaneously not what I expected, but also better than what I thought it would be. After watching the first episode of To Be With You, I was excited to see where this drama would go, but my expectations were quickly lowered by the second episode, which reached Meteor Garden/Moon River levels of ridiculous.… Continue reading Drama Review: To Be With You (最佳女配)
When I last posted, I was in the middle of (attempting to do) quick episode recaps while I watched Bu Liang Ren. Unfortunately, I quickly got bored/annoyed with that show and decided to take a break to watch With You (最好的我们), another highly-rated school/youth drama in China. With You is the best type of slice-of-life, school/youth… Continue reading Drama Review: With You (最好的我们)
