My Answer to 2012
Guys, the new year 2013 is coming and thank to 2012 drama that outstandingly made me laugh, cry, giving me so-called mood swings, giddiness, and all sort of weird feeling as a result of being too emotionally involved with the dramas. This entry could be the most sarcastic, giving everyone sort of heart ache, perhaps.
Moon that Embraces
The Sun
One of the dramas that I attached to but as it reaches the
halfway, I thought it has lost its excitement. To be honest, I love the child
actors more than the adult especially the girl that plays Yeon-woo. No offense,
Han Ga-in did a very fine job portraying Yeon-woo but I just like the child version
more. About others, they’re not that bad. Child actor Yeo Jin-goo that I loved
him so much in a lot of dramas nailed it, as well as Kim Soo-hyun portraying The King, Lee Hwon. And not to forget, my
lovely Jung Il-woo was in it. Though I love the child actor, Lee Min-ho played
as young Prince Yang Myung-gun, anyway Jung Il-woo wasn’t really bad. Jung
Il-woo shhi, you should be the guy that gets the girl after this, okay? Yeah, the rating was extraordinarily big, but didn’t
make me attach to it so much.
My answer: When the moon embraces the sun, people call it
eclipse. Eh? Okay, The Moon That Embraces
the Sun felt like eating too much when you’re extremely hungry. You
anticipated it so much but you ended up with indigestion. HA! (Don’t take me
seriously, please)
Wild Romance
Even it has high tendency to be forgotten, I like the
cuteness of this drama. Yeah I was biased because I like Lee Si-young so much
but hey, she’s a very talented actor. She dared to take a new extreme and
played like a real woman with manly look, and she’s super strong too! Park
Mu-yeol is the most hilarious character played by Lee Dong-wook so far, I
guess. And I love him in this drama. Though Jessica’s character as Kang
Jong-hee pops out in the climax, I don’t think this drama needs her to drive the story forward. Yeah,
I’m annoyed.
My answer : Love can be wild too. And becoming a personal
bodyguard to a famous baseball player is pretty hard. You have to, urm...be
able to withstand raw egg and the taste is just gross..Uh!
Dream High 2
Damn, I liked the first and second episodes, but then it
annoyed me so much until it reach the end. It don’t have the factor that could really
drive the story forward.I really did not understand the pace of this drama. I
think of it highly because I expected it to be as good,or even more better than
Dream
High, but this drama really disappointed me to think that it’s the sequel
of Dream High. I’d feel a lot better
if it were a different drama with different title. It’s the drama that wasted a
possible talents and let the first Dream
High swayed along with the disaster that it brings. Humm...
My answer: Damn, why do I watch this drama?
Shut Up! Flower Boy
Band
Even though I hate it because the character that I loved so
much died really early in the drama( who’s the guy playing Byung-hee?), it’s
still good to watch. Still, no offense- better than Dream High 2! The kids has passion and dream. They fresh, daring
and brave. And Sung-joon, L plus the gang...hurmmm....I’m swoon.
My answer : I would like this drama if I were younger. Have
to accept that I’m getting old. Watching this drama felt like eating hot ramen,
so nice!
Operation Proposal
The time traveller Hwang Baek-ho made me confused a little
bit, but the cuteness of our babies Yoo Seung-ho and Park Eun-bin were like the
eye candy that made me still watch it. I never watch the original version, but
this version really confused me a lot.
My answer: Intoxicated. Confusion.
Just an Ordinary Love
Story
This mini-series has long forgotten, but I love the fact that
it was heart-warming, simple and positive. As the name suggest, this drama just
an ordinary one, but it’s just amazing on its own for its simplicity about two
person started to love each other, separated and being able to move on with
their life. Daebak! Yeon Woo-jin is getting better since I had seen him in Ojakgyo Brothers. Love him!
My answer: Felt like taking my daily meals. Feels nothing
but it’s good!
The Equator Man
Honestly, I love the teenage version compared to adult one,
for both Jang-il and Sun-woo. Well, the child actors really did their role
amazingly. Not to forget, the one that played teenage Jang-il is the handsome
child version Heo Yeom in The Moon That
Embraces The Sun. Swoon! It’s the handsome Im Siwan! Alongside with Lee
Hyeon-woo as Kim Sun-woo, I really wished they didn’t grow up. For the first 4
episodes, I kept watching without complaining because I think the drama is
great. With the cute Lee Hyeon-woo and the innocent pretty face of Im Siwan,
who would complained? Well, of course they have the talent! But when the
characters grow up, I skipped and lost the feeling. I thought that the adult
actors seemed to be too matured to be a college/university student. I wished
they continue using the child actors during the college time. I know that Umh Tae-woong,
Lee Bo-young and Lee Jun-hyuk can really act well, but the feeling is not the
same. I love Lee Jun-hyuk in City Hunter,
but I did not seem to like him in this drama.
My answer : Felt like...as if I need anti-psychotic drugs.
Rooftop Prince
It was pretty hilarious with The Crown Prince and the gang
travelling from Joseon to modern 2012. I enjoyed watching this drama and I can
see Yoochun’s acting skill is getting better, even though this drama might not show
the best of him. When he had his long Barbie doll haircut, I love him more. HAHA!
The storyline is pretty amusing and the chemistry between the leading man and
lady was so great.
My answer: A bar of chocolate, you’re happy while eating,
you finished it and sometimes craves for it.
Queen Inhyun’s Man
Daebak! That’s all I can say about this drama. I think it’s
perfect, what else to offer? So this drama is officially got the 1st
place in my heart. Great writing, directing, acting and all sort of things in
making a good drama that not to be forgotten. It’s tight and doesn’t leave any
loophole. LOVE IT.
My answer: The greatest meal of the year. And perhaps I
should eat pasta everyday!
King 2 Hearts
At first I thought this drama would be as cute as Princess Hours or Goong S, but yeah it’s still cute with a LOT OF ACTION scenes. Let
go of the typical kdrama girl who will wait the hero to save her, and all
miserable. She’s totally awesome. Since I’m a girl I usually love the actors
more than actress, but King2Hearts proved me otherwise. It’s all
depending on the role, to make someone lovable or hateable. But, who would
complain about Lee Seung-gi? Haha..by the way, he’s brilliant actor. He knows
how to choose his role well.
My answer: I would say YES! This is the drama that I want.
Once in a lifetime you’ve got to taste royal meals. HAHA!
I Love Lee Tae Ri
Quite impressive, but the lead actress look old for me.
Well, what a bias here since I really really dislike her character in My Princess, but he’s good actress I
think. And, I was just able to watch it until 13th episodes since
the subtitles were nowhere to be found. Watching the ending without English subtitle
hurts me a lot.
My answer: Unable to finish the meal since the side dish was
running out.
Dr Jin
Hurmm...one of the funniest drama of the year. Ha! The most
unforgettable time-travelling mechanism. A crappy jar foetus that can brings
you back through centuries. Nothing can beat this, not even a butterfly , secret cave or a talisman.
You know right?
My answer: No comment!
Bridal Mask /
Gaksital
Bingo, this is the action drama of the year. If last year City Hunter took the winning trophy for
action (yeah, in my dream) it goes to Bridal
Mask this year. It has action, melodrama and the fighting spirit. Nothing can
beat this drama in terms of giving goosebumps and sincere tears. I love the
frenemy between Kang-to and Shunji. It hurts me so much to see them sharing the
same screen.
My answer: Eating hot potatoes while reminiscing about your
childhood. It does feel great. Kang-to ya, don’t cry.
Ghost
I love this drama, but the sound of phantom of opera bugs
me. Hahha..just a joke anyway. Life as a cyber squad + hacker is quite intense
after all.
My answer : It’s good when the hacker is on the good side.
Awesome.
I Do I Do
For a career woman to fall for a no-name loser was quite
insufficient to make me root for this drama. Ermm..it was quite good but the
stickiness doesn’t last long.
My answer : I even forgot how the taste was like. Sorry for
that.
Gentlemen’s Dignity
I kind of unsure when I first watched this drama since
characters were like, ahjussi and ahjumma type. Hahaha..no offense if I were
older, I would love to see Jang Dong-gun and Kim Ha-neul together. Maybe it just doesn’t fit my
preference.
My answer: I would like to have a recording pen, give it to
me...Kim Do-jin sshi?
Big
It brings promise, twist but no story to tell. It really
needs a do-over. Hong sister usually did make fantastic writings, but what’s
going on in Big? With the big actors
like Gong Yoo and Kim Min-jung Big
was unable to make it so well. I’m frustrated.
My answer: You bought some food from the market and only
then you realize that it has expired already. Wasted and unfortunately, it’s
non refundable items.
Golden Time
A medical drama, again. But it’s not as funny as Dr Jin, not even as so technical like
last year’s Brain. I personally love
korean medical drama eventhough it was certain I just can’t understand about
how the hospital runs. Hurmm...working at ED is too challenging. You need a
very competent surgeon and doctors.
My answer :Everyday is on-call
day. Sleeping, eating and working at the hospital.
Answer to 1997
The scent of 1997 and youth blossomed in my heart as watched
Answer to 1997(or some says, Reply to 1997). Sure, it brings back the
memories but I like its realism the most. The first love, crush, and the
fangirling over kpop idols felt so close to the audience. Makes me appreciate
the advance tech right now, and reminiscing the times when I was a child in 90’s.
My answer : Eating out with BFFs kept laughing and talking , reminiscing the good old times. Refreshing
and yet so delicious.
Ma Boy
So, there’s so much drama that made a girl into a boy
because of certain circumstance that force the heroine to act like a boy, what
about if we did it the opposite. Boy becomes girl? Awesome. Though it’s quite
weird, but the actor is really good looking flower boy, fits perfectly for that
role. Kim Soo-hyun is also daebak as schoolgirl. Love her.
My answer: Youghurt drink. Just nice.
Faith
I expected Faith to be much more better than Dr Jin and thanks, Faith had done its
job well. I hope faith kept spoon-fed me with the superhuman abilities, the
Fantastic 4 style, or X-men style but it doesn’t really showed that toward the
end. But overall, it’s good to see Lee Min-ho and Kim Hee-sun playing fusion
saeguk. So cute.
My answer: For time-traveller doctors, what you need the
most is alcohol rub, some antibiotics and painkiller. I would suggest some anaesthetic
agent as well.
Arang &The
Magistrate
When mystical creature turns the table, you’ll see to what
extend the world might be.
My answer: I though it’s jarred kimchi, but it’s a scary
jarred ghost.
Nice Guy
Ottoke? You want revenge so much until you lose yourself
along the way. Poor Maru, all of his pain is self inflicting. But because of
the fast pace and good plot device plus the superb acting by Song joongki, Moon
Chae-won, Park Si-yeon and the rest of the cast ( I don’t remember all of the
actors name, anyway) overshadowed the flaw. And I myself was almost crazy about
this drama (well, you can look, there’s quite a lot ‘Nice Guy’ tags and I brag about it most of the time) knowing that
this is just a drama, so don’t get carried away too much!
My answer : Taste like cheesecake, with too much cheese.
Sometime you just want little cheese.
Heunundae Lovers
This drama cracks me off during the first few episodes but
at the end, it was just like typical kdrama that putting all the plot device. But
it’s a fun-ride to watch Haeundae
since it doesn’t go into tooooo extereme like certain drama does and at last
they can’t figure out an outstanding ending. Hmmm...it’s simple, but too much
plot device. Huh.
My answer : Just an ordinary cream crackers.
Full House Take 2
What’s more laughable than the haircuts. It’s sooo weird
like cartoon character came out alive in reel world. Huh, drama why you’re
tourturing us with that hairstyle. You’re trying so much to be funny. Anyway,
it’s still fun to watch. After waching Shunji, I mean Park Ki-woong in Gaksital as conflicted villain; this is
something so cute to Park Ki-woong’s cuteness. And no offence, No Min-woo is
cute like
My answer: Eating while listening to k-pop song. Not
realized when you finished eating it all.
Vampire Prosecutor 2
If last year I forgot to put Vampire Prosecutor in my year-end review, this year I will never
let it go off my hand. I’m in love with this sequel. More blood, more action
and the most important, more vampire thingy....and I want moar..moar...come on
bring it on Vampire Prosecutor 3?
Would it be possible next year?
My answer: More guyliner, more badass, more blood...moarrr...I
want more! Season 3, please?
Five Fingers
Makjang of the year, yeah..I guess so....birth secrets are
played off quite often that people just don’t have the guts to digest it anymore.
My answer : Twisties..it’s twisted. Should change the
description to, my step-son turns out to
be my biological son!
May Queen
Another child-switch, birth secret kind of thing. But it’s
all about making ship. Friendship, and of course the real SHIP. Anyway May Queen is a ship, yeah ship not the
sheep.
My answer: another twisted meals. , my step-daughter turns out to be my biological daughter!
Currently airing
drama
I Miss You
“I just need my sanity” that’s it. ..it’s too tragic to bear even in dramaland.
My answer : Teary meal( meal
with a lot of tears) , but you’re unable to cry.
Can We Get Married?
It really bugs me when the main couple kept fighting each
other. They seriously need a mutual thing call ‘trust’. Because of that I ended
up liking the second pairing, Dong-bi and Ki Joong. Can We Break Up is another alias that this drama should consider.
My answer : Taste like Nasi
Lemak, a common Malaysian dish
and taste good but in the end you’ll be very sleepy.
King of Drama
The first 4 episodes premiered amazingly, but too much things to overcome made me sigh and drama is still, a drama. As it name suggest, there’s a lot of dramatic thingy. Anthony Kim Bong Dal is surely a person who really knows how to do things. Right, writer Lee Go-eun?
My answer : Have you ever eaten curry puff for breakfast?
Taste so good!
Alice in
Cheongdam-dong
Jean Thierry Cha, can you find a better French name? Why
don’t just keep your Korean name? I think it’s better anyway. For Alice, aigoo
you should stop pretending. Be true to yourself and don’t be like Yoon-joo.
My answer : Luxurious sweet dessert.
Jeonwoochi
Action, bring it on! I love the first few episodes with magics and badass. It seemed promising
My answer : That’s why Uther
banned any practise of magic in the kingdom Camelot.
School 2013
When the bells ring, ....and I found out about Nam Soon’s
past, my heart burst again. Why? Why? Drama, you’re great. Keep this coming,
and I’ll be crazy. Hahah! I love the conflict between Heung-soo and Nam-soon.
This is just amazing.
My answer : Japanese lunch box. So many good stuffs inside.
Despite plenty of the drama that I’ve watched this year, there’re still a lot more that I just decided not to watch. Love Rain, Romance Town II, The Chaser, Hero, My Husband Got A Family, Ohlala Spouse, To The Beautiful You, etc ; just to name a few and no offence since I didn’t watch the drama it’s not fair for me write about those drama. It might be good drama as well; it will be my loss not to watch them.
Annunnie’s pick
So, my answer to 2012 dramas? It’s hard to choose what you
like the most when you get variety of choices with different taste and looks.
But my heart goes for Queen In-Hyun’s Man
for the first place. It's an amazing with a tight storyline. The second one goes
for Gaksital , Answer to 1997 and King2Hearts sharing the same place. Those dramas
are really, great drama ever being produced. And, should I add Vampire Prosecutor 2 in the list too? It's just too great to be forgotten For School 2013, since title was
meant for 2013, I’ll keep it to brag about it for next year’s review.
It’s a long post anyway...2012 really gave me menboong (mental breakdown) state where you have plenty of amnesiacs,
time-traveller, doctors plus high school rebels and a lot of royal folks. Till then, may 2013
be another wonderful year! Till then, goodbye.
