Currently Watching MCB's "Pride And Prejudice"

After watching a series of serious prosecution K-Drama where they're dark and heavy such as Voice, Kill It, Justice, and The Lies Within which are well OCN dramas. Now, it's time to travel back in time back to 2014 to watch some K-Dramas that might catch my interest. As said, there will be a time that I'll stick to older entries until I want to see newer entries at my own pace. Speaking of which, 2014 was also the time when I thought about making another u-turn from Japanese entertainment - ironic that I used to prefer it over to Korean entertainment!

So, in order to get to know Korean better - I need to watch some old school stuff for the meantime. That is, I might consider putting some newer entries on hold since this is NOT a news blog but a blog where I write down whatever comes to mind. 2013 was the year Choi Jin Hyuk became Kang Chi's father. In 2014, he becomes the leading prosecutor Gu Dong Chi who has been accelerated several levels. Baek Jin Hee's role as Han Yeol Moo has her in odds with Dong Chi due to some past events. I don't find Jin Hee hot but she's actually pulling off her charm like Shin Hye Sun does in her K-Drama. Yup, I think about the chip on the shoulder plot. Rather than something dark and heavy - Pride and Prejudice (and the novel by Jane Austen made a cameo in an early episode) is a lighthearted series that has two rival prosecutors starting to fall for each other.

I was just thinking that the vibes seem to bring back the bickering of both Nago and Megumi had a lot in Kamen Rider Kiva. Yup, there may not be any supernatural creatures crawling here but the lightheartedness and a bickering "couple" are bringing it in. Maybe, the marriage of Nago and Megumi at the end of Kiva isn't so random. The difference is that while Nago and Megumi were sidekick characters - here the two characters Dong Chi and Yeol Moo are the main characters. They have a rivalry going on that slowly blooms into romance as the series goes by.

"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
