Korean Drama Review: Bad Guy (나쁜 남자)

I can't believe I haven't done a review for one of my FAVOURITE dramas, Bad Guy. I watched this drama nearly 2 years now, when it was out. I was TOTALLY hooked to this drama. Firstly, it has an actor I really like, Kim Nam Gil as the main, which totally caught my attention. From start to finish, this storyline had me on edge, especially as I had to wait a week for new episodes!
Me and my sister (Tamanna) have got this down as a drama to recommend to ALL Kdrama addicts, so if you haven't see this drama yet, you know what to do!!

Majority of the dramas I tend to watch are usually the "same." Rich guy, "poor" girl, fall in love, but they encounter a few problems in the middle, usually the dramas end happily ever after. This drama does consist of a rich guy and "poor" girl, but the way it all pans out is what I LOVED about it. At first I thought it would be a typical drama for me and I'd know how it would end, but I was wrong. The storyline is really interesting! (For those of you who have watched it, let me know what you thought of the storyline!)

Kim Nam Gil / Shim Gun Wook

I love unpredictable storylines, just as much as I love catchy OSTs. And this drama has both! Still today I play the OST and it still makes me teary eyed everytime I hear it. By far one of the BEST drama OSTs yet! (I just had to play some of the songs while writing this review and I was right, I am still in love with basically every song!!)
For me, a good drama is not just the storyline, but the perfect music can either do it justice or the opposite!

You know how much I LOVE this drama, for those of you who still have not watched the drama...You know what to do and let me know what you think and if you are in love with this drama as much as me!

Korean Drama Review: The Moon Embraces The Sun (해를 품은 달)

My first historical drama and I LOVED it! I was recommended to watch this drama by my sister because she really liked it, I wasn't too keen when I found out it was a historical drama at first. Once I got the hang of the story line, I really enjoyed it. Now I've watched the whole drama, I wish it was longer. I think this is the start of Korean historical dramas for me. I'm usually into my romantic, lovey dovey, modern dramas but this was a bit of a change. There is romance in the drama, but the other elements in the drama are very interesting and the storyline is captivating!
The drama started off with younger actors, then after a couple of episodes they had older actors to show...8 years later. At first this was confusing but once I got use to the actors, I totally hooked again!
If you haven't watched the drama, I recommend it! It's really made me want to watch more historical dramas now. If you have any recommendations for me, do leave a comment below and let me know!

Korean drama: You've Fallen For Me/Heartstrings

I am having a total d-addict phase right now. I've started another drama, You've Fallen For Me/Heartstrings. This drama is more cutesy and a more playful drama compared to Poisedon. I've only watched the first episode so far but I already get the storyline and I'm already hooked. The lead actor/actress are C.N.BLUE, Yonghwa and Park Shin Hye. They were both in You're Beautiful and I fell in love with their characters. I love the fact that they can both act well as well as sing. This is a "musical" drama and I have a feeling I will love the OST.

C.N.BLUE, Yonghwa / Lee Shin

Park Shin Hye / Lee Gyu Won

C.N.BLUE, Minhyuk is also in the drama. His character is so adorable.

C.N.BLUE, Minhyuk / Yeo Joon Hee

If you're looking to watch a new drama, something lovey dovey, playful and funny. I think this drama might be the one. I will keep reviewing as I go along, but for now, the first episode has drawn me in.

And if you HAVEN'T watched You're Beautiful, it's a MUST! Both Yonghwa and Park Shin Hye are in the drama, as well as, Jang Geun Suk and Lee Hongki.

Korean drama: Poseidon

FINALLY I have gotten around to watching Poseidon. I've been waiting for this drama since I finished watching Athena: Goddess of War. Although they have some similaritites and differences, I love them both because they are action packed. I have already watched IRIS and Athena and Poseidon is along the same genre to me.

The first episode was a little bit confusing, but I guess most first episodes are like that as they are trying to tell you the story so it's quite hard to get your head around what is going on. But after watching episode 2 and 3, I'm getting into it more.

For all you, ELFs and Cassies, there's some eye candy in it for you. Super Junior, Siwon and DBSK, Yunho. I've seen Siwon's acting in Athena and I was totally drawn in by it and I know this drama will be the same. I've already grown to love his character in this drama. I haven't seen much of Yunho's acting, so this will be interesting for me and he hasn't appeared in the first 3 episodes as much as Siwon so I am waiting to see more from him.

Siwon / Gim Seun U

Yunho / Kang Eun Chul

If you love your action-packed dramas (with a bit of romance) then I think you'll like this drama. So far I am on episode 4, so I still have more reviews to write, hopefully I won't be spoiling much for those who are planning to watch this drama soon!

For those of you who still HAVEN'T watched IRIS and Athena and love your action-packed dramas, it is a MUST WATCH! I have them down as 2 of my favourite Korean dramas!
