My First Impressions On While You Were Sleeping

I just started watching "While You Were Sleeping" and I have to admit it's addictive. I have to admit that I've got a stupid reason (the attractive actress) while it has a good story. Okay, I'm NOT watching a lot of shows with eye candy due to the bad plot all the while I tend to overpraise good shows with eye candy.

The main character ~~Hiroyo Hakase~~ Nam Hong-Joo is seeing horrible visions. She sees a man will die from lighting his lighter near a gasoline station. She starts to see an accident she will cause that could claim her mother's life. She wants to prevent it and she starts off by cutting her hair making her look more like the Japanese actress Maaya Uchida. She starts seeing dark visions and we're sent to another dream realm which the prosecutor Jung Jae-Chan sees the dark visions himself.

I guess the reason why this TV series airs late at night is due to some violence. Just seeing some scenes of blood from the car accident scene scares me. Seeing the heavy bleeding from the vision of Jae-Chan or the scene where he dreams of Hong-Joo killing herself is too much suspense. This also results to a weird bond where two people are drawn together by some kind of extrasensory perceptions about each other.

As of right now, I doubt it I may find the time (or devotion) to write episode reviews but maybe I will compile them every now and then. I'll be watching this TV series while I focus on both Kamen Rider Build and Ucchu Sentai Kyuranger. I may soon start to get myself more familiarized with the writers, producers and directors of K-Drama to help me critique things better.

What do you think of the first episode?

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her. The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think. Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
