My Thoughts On While You Were Sleeping Episodes 3 And 4

I guess having the "Seed of Agito" can be a burden, isn't it? I sort of want to imagine that the Seed of Agito hit South Korea watching this show. With episodes 3-4 and well I'll have to wait for Wednesday to Thursday next week to watch more episodes of this ongoing show.

It looks like we now have an idea of who's who or what? Yoo-Bum is well a bummer. It's hinted by Jae-Chan's words that he's a sleazy guy who let others take the blame. In the past, Yoo-Bum made Jae-Chan take the blame. He's a dirty prosecutor who'd do anything to grab power and it's obvious. He dated Hong-Joo but visions suggest he may even frame her for what could have been his hit-and-run and to avoid responsibility. This leads to another issue of how fate affects society.

Seung-Won meets a girl who wants to take justice into her hands. She mentions how the justice system of South Korea is failing. Is this show trying to address social injustices? The So-Yoon insists that her father assaulted her mother. It looks like that Jae-Chan using his "Agito Seed" foresees something terrible. Hong-Joo's visions are no delusions and she sees disasters. She sees that Seung-Won might commit murder or get framed for it. Seong-Won wants to use arsenic on her abusive father to save her hospitalized mother.

We also get a glimpse of a boyish ugly duckling that's Hong-Joo. She foresaw her father's death by an escaped soldier. It turns out that both Hong Joo and Jae-Chan met each other when they were much younger though it seems she's probably five to eight years younger than he is. The psychic ties between them end up as both a gift and a curse.

This also leaves me with thoughts on the supernatural gift the two possess. If they were trying to prevent disasters did Fate eventually decide to let somebody else take that disaster? What if this gift of seeing towards the future is actually not meant for mortal minds? I even feel like Jae-Chan's advice to forget about the dreams may be the best thing to do.

What do you think?

"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
