When I Got A Lower Score In A Final Exam Because Of My Stupid K-Drama Crush On Kim Tae Hee

I guess fanboyism can affect your grades right? I could remember having this weird fanboyism going on and how it affected my final exam grade. I could remember it was the 2000s when I was nearing my graduation year. It was the finals week and I didn't flunk in any of my midterm subjects. I wasn't outstanding but I didn't get bad grades either. It was time to review for my finals exam. It was really mandatory to study, don't watch TV, and GET SOME REST before taking the exam. Well, I had a closet fanboyism at that time. ABS-CBN and GMA-7 were airing certain Koreanovelas. There was Forbidden Love on ABS-CBN and Love Story in Harvard on GMA-7 - both having Kim Tae Hee on it. What I actually fantasized about back in college was marrying the 25-year-old actress while I was a 20-year-old student.  

It was one day before the final exam for that particular subject on ethics. I guess I got complacent with my good midterm grade that I didn't care too much about the finals - as long as I took the exams and had the requirements. I wasn't aiming for the dean's list either since I had many minor subjects credited. I studied for my final exam. However, I ended up breaking my principles. I remembered how many times I criticized some of my groupmates who made those idiotic teleseryes or Kris TV more important than their exams. Now, I ended up doing a bit of breaking when I decided to watch a Koreanovela (which I wasn't so fond of back then) with Kim on it after I was done studying to relax my mind instead of going to sleep immediately. It was a wrong move really!

The next thing I knew was that I was stuck in an idiotic dream. I was actually dreaming of marrying Kim on the night before an important exam. Not getting enough sleep was one thing. Getting a weird dream was another. It really affected my cognitive ability for the exam. It wasn't that I wrote the wrong answers that were too wrong. Instead, I was somewhat in a daze that I failed to review the essay I wrote for the exam. Sure, I did pass the exam but I didn't hit the 80% mark that I aimed for. It caused my grade to go down a few points. Think about it an A- going to a B+. I wasn't too surprised about the decrease in my grade either. 

The whole decrease did have the professor approaching me. She really asked what happened and why I didn't study hard for the final exam. I couldn't tell her the dumb answer. I admit that I didn't study that hard for the final exam or if I didn't go to bed as soon as I was done studying. What I never wanted to tell my professor was that I didn't go to bed immediately and watched a Koreanovela in order to ease my mind. Well, I could say that somehow - that had to be a very funny moment indeed!

"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
