Miss Granny quick movie Review and opinions!

Miss Granny




Wish you had a chance to go back in time and relive your dreams, or even change mistakes from the past? Well in this cute K.Film an older woman gets that chance!

Oh Mal-soon is a 74 year old woman who lost her husband when she was young and raised her only son alone. Bitter and ready for death, Mal-soon finds a photography shop and goes in to take her funeral picture only to find that the photographer had magical powers and she steps out of the shabby shop fifty years younger! Now she has the opportunity to start again and live the life she always wished she had; But can she let go of the life she let behind?

This movie was cute and hilarious as you see young life from the point of view of the elderly, and as you follow Mal-soon through a new era of young love, styles, slang, and music as well as renewed relationships and family bonds, you'll learn that sometimes life throws you hard times to help you become stronger.
This movie had some adult language so if you are watching with younger audiences be aware of the subtitles, aside from that this movie was light hearted and fun! An enjoyable movie for most ages, and a story line that will give you a new respect for you grandparents =D

Some of the plot did jump around, or had some strange cut scenes, aside from that I feel the plot flowed naturally and was well put together with scenes that will make you laugh, cry, and warm your heart! So if you are in the mood for a loving film about family, friendship, loyalties, and sacrifice then you NEED to watch this movie because it will satisfy all those Drama Kravings for sure!

So where does this K.Film stand on the scale?
DRUMROLL PLEASE!!

Cunning Single Lady Review and opinions!

Cunning Single Lady

Image result for cunning single lady

In the mood for a good romance? How about a fresh start at a failed romance?
WELL! Flick on your Netflix or Viki and get comfortable because Cunning single lady is just that type of romance!

When Na Ae-ra meets her true love, her happily ever after doesn't go according to plan. In hopes of marrying a man with an undying desire to provide a happy life and a good job, Na Ae-ra finds herself stuck with Cha Jung-woo a brilliant romantic who quits his job to pursue his dreams, using his skills with computers to develop something amazing! Stressed and embarrassed with having to support her work at home husband, Na Ae-ra files for divorce only to find her Ex three years later as a successful CEO of his own company while she is down on her luck. With wounded pride and heartbreak Ae-ra plots to win back the heart of her rich Ex Husband by infiltrating his company as a diligent intern and leave him penniless; However Jung-woo doesn't give in easily and Ae-ra finds it to be more difficult each day to resist the lingering feelings they both seem to share.

This drama is great! It has all the ingredients needed to make a satisfactory tale of spurned love, misinterpretations, love triangles, and comical run ins with a past life!
I thought the plot moved at a good pace and all the pieces of plot fit pretty well together as the story unfolded, plus the back stories gave just enough information to keep you in the dark long enough until the big reveal of these two star crossed lover's and their history of bad luck.

I also loved the fact that there were some family feuds and resentment going on each side of the divorcees and that it was enough to kick up drama but not too overwhelming or a real main part of the plot, which let's face it, when you have a relentless Ajumma who bribes and swindles all the while grabbing her neck and wailing that she won't stand for it IN EVERY EPISODE.....well.....that does get a little draining for all of us doesn't it?

This K.Drama is mature and is more geared towards adults though it is family friendly =D It's tender, fun, sad, and hilarious! It will make you see both sides of divorce has a right and a wrong and will have you constantly rooting for every character to get their happily ever after!

Now for the KISSING CORNER! all right you hopeless romantics it's time for the smooch count!
Now I was greatly in love with and greatly disappointing with the lack of the kissing scenes in this Drama, I really wish they added a few more romantic scenes because they were STUPENDOUS! There was no dead fish eyes or droopy arms, it was all passionate and straightforward and made me laugh and sigh like a hundred times. It proves that love isn't all about the physical but the emotional and spiritual as well and it made my heart ache for all the characters to get back in touch with a little romance in their lives! So big thumbs up Cunning Single Lady, and well done!



Now that we've covered the goods, let's talk the...umm....not so goods? the bads?
THE CONS.
Though this drama was well put together and well balanced in emotions and plot I found that the beginning of this drama was EXTREMELY hard to get into at first, (I fell in love after the second attempt..)  all you see is an unhappy couple who fight with and hurt one another, which let's face it is life...but not what I want to spend almost an hour watching....I HATE CONFRONTATION! (you know...unless it involves justice! And a solid punch that makes the male lead look SO MANLY!) But hateful bickering is not what I come to these dramas for! Also I wasn't impressed with the way the brought in side characters who simply dissapear for episodes on end to come back at important plot points and get you thinking "OH YEAH! where the heck have you been?!"
Plus I wasn't completely satisfied with how they held onto random back stories then squeezed them in at the last moment causing the actual ending to be slightly boring and anticlimactic. You do not get the halleluja chorus, just a soft sweet, Awwwwwww.

So not the greatest at times, but still pretty great! This Drama is no doubt a drama you need to add to your splurge list, and with 16 episodes, (you know, compared to 20) you don't really get sick or tired, once you are hooked it's goodbye finals and hello binge marathon of a fantastic K.Drama!

All righty! So where does this drama land on the rating scale? LET'S FIND OUT!
DRUMROLL PLEASE!!

Fated to Love you Review and opinions!

Fated to Love you



Are you ready for the romantic experience of a lifetime? If you are then get ready for a Drama that will change your meaning of fate and love as you are about to dive into a show that will teach you the true meanings of both!

Mi-young, (Jang Na-ra)  an adorable pure and sweet secretary at a law firm who is constantly being overlooked and stepped who yearns for love and tenderness in her life, and when she thinks she's found it bad luck seems to come and snatch it away.
Lee Gun, (Jang Hyuk...sigh so hot!) who is the goofy and romantic CEO of his family company, has found love and wants more than anything to keep it close; But with a twist of fate these two find that sometimes love comes in surprising ways!

After running into each other at the shopping center, these two find each other again accidentally at a five star hotel through some extremely unfortunate series of events.
After resolving the mischief they fall into, Kim Mi-young and Lee Gun believe that they will never see each other again! However, fate steps in and pushes them together with a surprise that neither expected! They are reunited and are forced to live together by their elders and must try to overcome their differences and sacrifice their past life styles. Lee Gun finds it hard to deal with the soft spoken and push over Mi Young, who also finds him awkward and hard to live with; However after some shaken feelings, new and old love interests that resurface, angry resistance and suspicion the two finally learn to live on a more friendly ground and find that as they overcome difficulties together they develop some new feelings for each other!

Though this Drama had some cliche' plot twists, a slightly predictable story line, and some absurdities that can be hard to over come at first, this drama is one of the ultimate K.Dramas out there when it comes to love stories, and stupendous acting! You really warm up to this story, and once you realize you can't live without this drama, you'll be glad you kept with it!
These actors/actresses can really drive things home with amazing and believable emotions and experiences that really pull you in and keep you in!!
Not to mention great comedy, unforgettable characters, family plots, addicting music, love triangles, trials, heartache, and a long road to self discovery.

....AND of course who can forget the highly odd, awkward, and extremely addicting laugh of Lee Gun, because....yeah weird at first but you will be in love with it by the end for sure!
I have days where I will randomly laugh like him and then have a K.Drama Kraving for a little FTLY hahahahaha......HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUAAAAA! haha...couldn't help myself!

 



AHEM! Anyways.....

I could watch this Drama again and again and still find myself laughing out loud, crying like a baby, and mumbling angrily when something doesn't go my way! This is a romantic drama that you should be putting on your must watch list right now!

Alright ladies and germs, for all you romantics out there it's that time again!

NOW for the KISSING CORNER! First off I have to say....awwww yeah! Because there are some wonderful kissing scenes (And shirtless scenes!) that will give you a gushing nose bleed! With one or two awkward kisses, this has some of THE most romantic and heartfelt kissing scenes yet! You can feel the desperate passion in each scene and though there are some more lustful parts (Which are PG rated and non raunchy but tasteful, comical and cute) most of the love scenes in this drama will make your heart pound and your eyes tear up!

I know you're probably wondering what kind of ratings this show might receive? Seeing as I wasn't impressed with a portion of the plot, but found the acting to be pretty great, it could be either side here. Well why don't we consult the scale?!

DRUMROLL PLEASE!

Beating Again (Falling for Innocence) Review and opinions!

Beating Again (Falling for Innocence)



Who says business is all work and no play? Whoever if was forgot to tell the characters to this quirky K.Drama Beating Again! Where emotions and stakes are high as two business men fight for their futures and for their love!

Kang Min-ho is a ruthless business man with all the charms of a sociopath and a nickname "the serial killer" to match his temper and wicked ways. He gets his kicks from breaking down companies, ruining reputations, ripping jobs away from honest hard workers and making millions through any means necessary. Now he has his uncle's company in his sights and a lust for revenge he will stop at nothing until his uncle pays for the crimes he committed against Min-ho's father, but with a weak heart and only one month to live, Min-ho has a hard time seeing things to the end until a streak of luck hits and he is granted an emergency transplant that saves his life! However this new heart seems to have a life all it's own causing Min-ho the uncomfortable new sensation of strong emotions and a long going attraction to his secretary.

With new found feelings of guilt and jealousy his goals seem to be fading away and being replaced with a different purpose for life. Will Min-ho let his new heart dictate his actions or will he get his revenge? With new rivalries, revenge, love, and redemption this K.Drama will catch your eye and your heart!

Now as I was watching this Drama I really felt connected to the characters, the actors did a fantastic job with revealing emotions and secrets in a way that made you really get to know the points of views of each character which I just couldn't get enough of! However with a misleading beginning, redundant episodes, and terrible translations I did find this particular drama to be hard to follow and a little frustrating with pieces of plot I'd basically already seen an episode previous. So what makes this drama good? Well in my opinion it would be the growth of the characters, the tender love scenes that are natural and full of emotion, and the great plots for revenge and justice through out the show! It really keeps you guessing, and every once in a while you'll find yourself jumping up and down saying, "HOLY CRAP I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!" The reveals are amazing! Though somewhat random you will find it hard to end things at the cliff hanger and will be convincing yourself that one more episode can't hurt haha! The plot twists were enjoyable and the drama was irresistible in this show, so if you haven't seen this you'd better write it down because it's a great story with a reasonable amount of episodes that end with satisfaction!
(though slightly drawn out and predictable)

Now for the Kissing corner of this Drama I am pleased to tell you that there is ONE and only ONE awkward, open eyed kiss scene! Which in my opinion wasn't too bad at all. There was some good kissing going on, most of them innocent and sweet, with one or two more passionate moments that will stop your heart! On the other hand this drama was more about the courtship than actual love scenes so the kissing did stay at a minimum as the characters were more focused on the future of the companies. So for the romance parts I found it tender, passionate, and low key which actually fit the high paced drama and action of the show, a perfect balance!

\
So how did this show do? Let's find out together shall we?
DRUMROLL PLEASE!

Coffee Prince Review and opinions!

Coffee Prince




Tired of shows where the nasty, rude, female/male leads get the guy/girl just because they're "hot", well dressed, popular, or slightly spunky and refreshing compared to other characters in typical romances?

I'm talking to you, Grey's Anatomy, New Girl, Two and a Half Men, Scrubs, Glee and countless others!

Well this show is about to give you sweet justice, as an unlikely romance gradually blooms that proves that it is what's inside that counts!

Go Eun-chan is an ambitious, highly energetic tomboy who, after her father's death has become the bread winner in her family and will do anything to support her mother and little sister's high maintenance lifestyle, including pretending to be a boy to get work.
After an accident while making late night deliveries, Eun-chan is mistaken for a mugger by the handsome playboy Choi Han-kyul and one of his childhood friends Han Yoo-joo, and
breaks her scooter in efforts to reclaim the stolen goods which causes her to loose her job. Torn between pride, and money to fix her scooter and support her family, Eun-chan demands she gets compensated for the rescue of Han Yoo-joo's purse. Han-kyul offers her a job, believing Eun-chan to be a boy he hires her to chase away his unwanted blind dates. Eun-chan must prove that she is a hardworking boy as Han-kyul inherits a coffee shop from his grandmother and CEO to his family business and plans on opening an all boy staffed shop to attract young women.
After working together and becoming good friends, and still believing Eun-chan to be a boy,
Han-kyul develops confusing feelings for his goofy co-worker, and struggles with sexuality and identity.

This show was filled with love triangles, heart warming friendship moments, scandals, and proof that when you have love, nothing else matters. Along with the main plot you follow a group of trouble making young boys as they try to rebuild an old coffee shop, make lasting relationships, and overcome hurtles in their lives! This Drama had a good even amount of main character plot and side character plot, and it really balances out really well as you get lots of different story lines and plenty of drama to keep you going and going wondering who will end up with who and what will become of the character's goals and dreams! Definitely keeps you on your toes as you follow the suspenseful lives of these hard working princes, and neighborhood sweeties.

Now it was hard to really find something that was super frustrating, aside from a bland first episode and a few strange moments, this show had little to complain about! I did have issues with some of the progress of the actual shop, some filler episode moments and some really weird character development that is rewound and taken back. However this show really makes up for it with a strong plot, strong characters, and strong relationships that will make you ponder your place in the universe (lol)

NOW in the kissing corner let us discuss how the romantic scenes played out! This drama is more geared towards young adults so I found some of the kissing scenes to be comfortable and mature, there were some really heated kissing, and of course some extremely satisfying kissing that will fog up your computer/TV/iPhone screen! With only a tiny amount of the open eyed smooch, the kissing in this drama was romantic and toe curling and just GREAT! so two thumbs up for you out there, (you know who you are) that are counting episodes until you get to see your favorite characters finally get some from their heart throbs and jump head first into a dreamlike state of infatuation =D sigh!


So are you ready for a will they won't they roller coaster of love and heart break?! Then buckle up and prepare yourselves for a super fantastic show that you won't soon forget.
I really wish I had more to say aside from WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!! but that about sums up my feelings for Coffee Prince! So let's start up that DRUMROLL! So you can get to watching this show!

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!!
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb TSH!

On the Aish-Drama's scale of Dramatastic shows Coffee Prince wins a...........


8.9 on a scale from 1-10

And that's a wrap! This show is honestly one of my favorite Drama's and deserves all the hype it can get, as it's so SO amazing! So snuggle up with a cup of Cocoa, Coffee, or Tea and prepare your mind to explode from pure awesomeness!

Secret Garden Review and opinions!

Secret Garden 



Looking for a story with colorful side characters, jealousies, bribes, intense drama, silly washed up pop stars, family tragedies, family feuds, voodoo witch magic, the classic battle of the sexes, entertaining friendships, and a budding romance that is doomed to fail??

OF COURSE YOU ARE!

Secret Garden has all of these things and more!

When rich and image obsessed business man Kim Joo-won, tries to help his washed up pop idol cousin avoid a terrible scandal he has an accidental run in with Gil Ra-im, a hard working, rough and tumble stunt woman (who is his cousin's number one fan) and becomes smitten with her straight forward attitude and tomboyish charms.
While following Gil Rim around and trying to figure out why he can't get a poor girl with a common lifestyle and dangerous job out of his head, he tries to convince himself that she is beneath him and therefore not worthy of his love but is only drawn further in as Gil Ra-im is constantly resisting his moves and pushing him away. When all seems to be turning towards the worst, a magical spell forces the two to see life from a different perspective and work together in difficult situation to reverse the spell and set their lives back to normal, but as they work together they begin to form a bond stronger than ever!

This adorable romantic comedy is the best of the best and will raise the bar for the rest of the K.Dramas that you will ever watch, NO KIDDING! It was a charming and sweet story where true love conquers all and proof that with a whole lot of hard work and a little bit of magic, all of your dreams can come true~
TEEHEE

Now I found that this drama was painfully slow moving in the beginning and took a while to get to the huge plot twist that really gets the show moving, a little bit of forced romance and some repetitive scenes and scenarios that made me almost give up on this drama, but I was so glad I kept with it because once it gets past the slower bits it really picks up around episode 5-6 and the rest of the series is a nonstop ride of heartbreaking, knee slapping, emotional moments that will make you wonder why you haven't heard of this Drama sooner! So if you are as impatient as I am, don't stress, just stick with it and I promise your life will change for the better =D

OKAY OKAY now is the moment all you romantics have been waiting for! It's the Kissing Corner!
How was the kissing in this series? I'll tell you! It's FANTASTIC! Though there is a small amount of the classic open eye smooching, 95% of the kissing in this series is romantic, surprising, and steamy! It will definitely get your heart racing and will make you squeeze your pillow and giggle like a little school girl! With multiple romances blooming all around the main characters between the wonderful group of friends and co-workers, you get your fill of adorable and Squeeemazing love scenes!

     

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

*cough cough* AHEM.....Anyways! ( a little caught up in the kissing there )

Now the ending of this series is something that truly makes this Drama great, it rounds out smoothly without unrealistically shoving things to a conclusion. Plus it has some amazing character development, you see so much growth in the characters you really come to love! With some pretty great outcomes and satisfying conclusions you will not be left wanting.


This is the perfect K.Drama for Valentine's Day, it will warm your heart and bring you and your family, friends, or significant other closer together as you witness the struggles of love.

So where does this Drama place on the scale? Let's find out! DRUMROLL PLEASE!!

Good Doctor Review and opinons!

Good Doctor




Grey's Anatomy? Out of the way! Here comes an interesting twist to medical drama and it's about to take a special place in your heart =D

Follow Park Shi-On (Joo Won) who has Autism and the mentality of a 10 year old boy and big dreams to become a pediatric surgeon so he can live up to a promise he made years ago! He fights against his disability and tries to overcome social discrimination through his photographic memory and amazing ability to diagnose a problem! Though he struggles to connect emotionally or rationally to the children he cares for or even to his superiors, he becomes attached to a fellow medical student who has a soft spot for his innocence and passion to heal.

This Drama is all about overcoming trials and growing together, it is filled with medical emergencies and adorable children who help the main character find his place in the world of medicine as well as the adult world he yearns to be accepted into by his peers and co-workers.

I found this show to be a refreshing take on the medicine world, with evil plots, true love and social struggles in the eyes of someone with disabilities, I very much enjoyed the point of view this show offered! Plus who can resist a match making 8 year old, or a group of loving kids?? I know I can't!
Though this show is geared towards a more mature audience I felt like it was a good one for young adults as well...it had some cute moments and (yes the open eyed kisses which I guess should just be a given for most K.Dramas...) There were some romantic smoochies as well!

For the cons I did find some of the plot hard to follow at times, and at other times it was just dull.
Also the love interest was a tad strange for me as the female lead is a straight thinking, hard working adult and the male lead is a hard working, at times unreasonable man with the mind of a 10 year old. Sure you are holding the body of a man your age, but his mind is a few decades behind....


Now apart from the wonderful idea that someone with a disability can be seen as more than just his or her disability I did find the growth of his character somewhat unrealistic...(WARNING THIS IS A SMALL SPOILER CONSIDERING THE MAIN CHARACTER'S DEVELOPMENT SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW SCROLL DOWN PAST THIS PARAGRAPH!)
I mean people don't grow out of serious disabilities like they would a pair of pants...but somehow he grows out of it and becomes more mature.





There was also a few other holes in the plot and a few strange things about the romance in this drama that I personally found to be....well....slightly odd, but hey it's a drama so I suppose if I really wanted to I could overlook these small flaws...IF I REALLY WANTED TO!  but aside from some strange developments and plot holes I found this drama to be sweet and charming with a whole lot of funny situations, awkward moments, suspense, and the occasional hatred for some characters that make you breath fire haha. I enjoyed this drama very much, and if you are a big fan of hospital drama then look no further! This K.Drama is a very enjoyable and exciting show that will have you marvel at the skill of surgeons and the strange workings of the human mind!

Now how did I like this show? Let's pull out the scale! DRUMROLL PLEASE!
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb TSH!

On the Aish-Drama's scale of Dramatastic shows Good Doctor wins a...........

All right! This drama was decently addicting and plenty of fun and you will become attached to the characters faster than Madam Hooch can say Quidditch.
So grab some hand sanitizer and a medical mask and get ready to scrub into a fantastic medical wonder!
