When I have nothing else to watch or have nothing else to do then I might just go ahead and watch online...
I have watched a few Korean dramas which have been shown locally on TV...
I watched the old ones a few years back... Endless Love, Winter Sonata, Stairway to Heaven,
Coffee Prince, Full House...
Sorry if I didn't get the English titles right and I don't really know the Korean titles...
Let's fast forward to last year when I was convinced to watch this hyped Korean drama at the time... Descendants of the Sun...
And by gawd!
It is so good I finished the whole series in 3 days!
I have a new oppa!
And of course who would not love the now married SongSong couple...
Song Joong-ki and Song Hye Kyo are just so beautiful...
And I watched a few more series I think...
Like that Secret Romance, which was a cute story, before I finally got down to watching this drama series which again was popular that time (and has been shown locally twice already) - Goblin.
At first it was a uniquely weird story for me but as most kdrama series it got me hooked into watching it until the end.
What surprised me too was I initially didn't quite like the pairing between Gong Yoo and the female lead because she was obviously young, but by gawd this scene convinced me (see below) and I loved that series!
This for me is one series, together with DOTS, that I don't mind replaying all over again.
Ok so during the recent holidays, since I rarely watch TV, my other recourse is to watch movies online or series... So I caught up with a few Pinoy movies that I liked...
I even listed it down in my new journal to keep track of them...
And watched another Korean drama that just finished a couple months before -
While You Were Sleeping, and like any series for me it is another original
or at least a well thought of story...
You have got to watch the local series on TV for you to understand when I say "original"...
Since this series is about a prosecutor, I got interested to watch this other series that my friend has been raving about... Suspicious Partner (Love in Trouble)
And let me tell you...
THIS IS WHEN I STARTED TO LIKE THIS MALE LEAD!!!
Let me backtrack, I watch Korean dramas and hardly take note of the actors' names and I just identify them by their characters or series, except for Gong Yoo, Song Joong-ki and his Song Hye Kyo and finally I now add another name to my list of notable Korean actors - Ji Chang-Wook!
I kept telling my friend and my boss who is more of a kpop fan, that this is the only series that I would stop every minute and just stare dumbfounded at the guy 😳
Gawd! As my friend said... I have a new oppa 😂
And whenever I am fascinated about someone, I try and watch more of his shows...
And so I watched his movie Fabricated City
This convinced me that he is indeed an action star!
You go and watch that movie because the story and visual effects is good...
And btw it's the first time for me to watch a Korean movie...
Well after Train to Busan that is 😂
And my favorite series of his so far... The K2!
And by gawd another series which I finished in a short span of days if only I didn't have work to interrupt my viewing 😂 I finished all 16 episodes in 4 days, after work and before sleeping of course...
Also what makes me like this series is the female villain...
She is like our Cherie Gil (local actress who is so amazing as a villain)
Song Yoon-ah is so amazing in the series I wanted her to succeed in the end...
But of course that would not be the case so... Better watch the series to know what happened to her character ...
Despite the series having it's own romantic angle, of course we can't forget that... I took note of the episodes with the action scenes and whenever Wooki and Song would be in the same frame!
I had to make screnshots of my favorite scene - the umbrella scene
The action sequence before this scene is good too he didn't muss his hair 😂
What I realized too is that I like Wooki with his hair brushed up but I still find him.handsome in any way... Here's the last scene of Song and Wooki together in the series...
Until the end of this series, I kept stopping and staring at him, muttering to myself - ang gwapo nya talaga (he is so handsome)!
And now even tough I am watching a new drama series, another popular one that recently finished in Korea - I Am Not A Robot, I plan to go back and watch Wooki's other series, The Healer too...
At least until he gets out of his military service then I guess I will get to see him more by then...
