[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 12

 There are 5 more episodes left, including this one.  I should be done either tonight or tomorrow morning.

I'm a little concerned about the end of this drama.  I read there are a lot of people who didn't care for the ending.  One comment said they should have kept the same ending as the webtoon.  I was planning to read the webtoon after I'm done with the drama anyway so I guess I'll come back here after I see for myself.  I'm planning to read it, but I may not have a chance to.  I have limited free time but I'll do my best.

Nearly 6 minutes in and while everything starts out kinda normal, it soon becomes apparent that chairman Jin Yang Cheol is definitely not well.

Just under 10 minutes later, a bombshell.  As before, just when it seems Do Jun to have outsmarted someone yet again, he finds out someone screwed him over.  He's got that surprised expression on his face when he figures it out but...was he really screwed over OR did he plan for that to happen so he could execute the rest of his plan???

A minute and change later...OMG!  Was expecting this but not really since it didn't seem like it was going to happen after the end of ep 11 and the start of this one!  

So all of it, after the ending of ep 10 was a plan.  I wonder who it was that they didn't trust that they had to detour?  The doctor?  Who else knew?  I don't really remember seeing anyone suspicious though.  I'm sure they'll explain what happened.

So, while I was waiting for that explanation, I realized that what I thought was part of the plan, was not part of the plan.  The "chairman's oldest grandson" just threw a little grenade into the mix and it looks like something is about to fall apart.

Wow.  Things are not looking good after that grenade landed.  Do Jun finds a way out and then, in the elevator... oops.  Do Jun was reborn and he had a mission once he realized what was going on.  I'm sure he hated all his "family" members including his grandfather, the chairman.  But in the elevator scene, it feels like he's come to actually care about his grandfather or maybe he's just a sweet human and feels badly for his grandfather?

Almost 1/2 way done with this episode and it's been one surprise after another!  Great, great show!

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 11

Five minutes in...

I'm so confused by the beginning of this episode.  From the end of 10 to the start of 11, there is no explanation (yet) of what happened after the end of 10.  There is no hint of how much time lapsed between end of 10 and start of 11.  It doesn't seem like it was that long because of the conversations and everyone looks okay so I'm just very confused atm.

Three more minutes in...

Okay, now it makes sense lol.  They went back a little bit on that day that will eventually lead up to the end of ep 10 and I suppose the rest of ep 11 will be the aftermath.

Four more minutes in...

One of people in that family planned what happened.  Of course, I'm terrible at figuring things out so I don't know who the culprit is.  I have a feeling about what might happen in this episode.

Three more minutes in...

I'm confused yet again lol

Another minute in...

I suspected I knew who Do Jun was talking about but then I realized no, he's talking about someone else.  That was confirmed a few seconds later.  I am DYING to know what happened!!!

Three more minutes in (18:23)

Oooo... 

2 1/2 more minutes in... (2003_

Wait a minute... What???

Done.  OMG this episode was another emotional rollercoaster and I cannot wait to watch the rest on Sunday!!!

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 10

 This episode had me on the edge of my seat.  Last episode's cliffhanger was really good.  The outcome was a bit meh for me.  The cliffhanger made it seems like it was going to go one way but it did not.  

Once again, just when it seemed like Do Jun had been sidelined by one of his family members, he came out on top yet again in a big way. 

The cliffhanger ending here made my jaw drop.  I'm pretty sure I know what happened since there are about 5 more episodes left.  It left me saying "OH....SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHIT!!!"

About to start 11 now!

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 09

 I keep forgetting to come here and say a few words about each episode.  It's just so damn good I watch 2 episodes and then start to watch something (non Asian) else to catch up on my American shows.

Do Jun has been playing his family on a level his grandfather didn't even know existed.  Of course he has the advantage of knowing what is going to happen but he still needs to think of a way to use that info to manipulate his targets.

So far, every episode is a combination of Do Jun making something happen and then make it look like one or more of the family members have figured out a way to one up him but have they really?  Even in this episode when Do Jun has played his aunt and she finds out and plays him back, has she really?  Even when she is gloating?

I'm up to the part where she asked her SIL how she was able to come up with her plan to save her from what she has figured out, was Do Jun's plan to get her shares of her department store.  I already have the feeling that though that plan may have taken the wind out of the prosecutor's (Min Yeong) sails, I feel like Do Jun expected something and clued in Min Yeong and they have planned a counter attack.  So far, Do Jun has had an answer for every play that's crossed his path whether it was planned or figured out in a hurry!

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 04

 I totally forgot to comment on episode 03.  I finished watching that and then moved on to the next episode.  I started watching this episode but had to abandon it because about 20 minutes in, the video screwed up and I couldn't get the episode to work.  I tried closing out all the windows and it still wouldn't work.  I rebooted my laptop and still, the video was working but the CC was not working.  Then the video was distorted and it lagged.  I went to FAQ and saw a big message that they were aware of the issue with the site being watched on Edge.  I switched to Firefox but had the same results.  I decided I'd check again in a few days and I spent time watching other non Asian shows in the meantime.  Today I checked Reborn Rich and it is working again.

I have 25 minutes to go to the end and so far, it was pretty uneventful until NOW.  At the 40 min mark more or less is when what I thought was going to happen, actually happened.  

I was thinking the end of this ep was going to go one way but then I thought it might be a set up for the benefit of someone's ears.  Do Jun is a smart kid and the convo he had with his grandfather might have been why he set this up.  Then again, I really suck at predicting outcomes unless they're pretty obvious.  Actually, sometimes even when they're obvious I don't see it coming.

Well, with about 15 minutes more left, the last 10 minutes proved me right and wrong.  Part of what I suspected was right but the rest of it, the one I suspected of being shady (because they made it too obvious I guess) is not the one that is betraying the family!

[2023] Have a Crush on You ~ 听说你喜欢我

 AKA Dear Doctor, Have a Crush on You or Love Heals

Synopsis from MyDramaList.com sounds like the Kdrama "Emergency Couple" which I really liked.  I'm going to watch some of the first episode tonight and will finish it off tomorrow after work.

I didn't copy the whole summary because it sounds like there might be a bit of a spoiler there!

"Ruan Liu Zheng returns to her hometown after 7 yearas and becomes a neurosurgeon at Bei Ya Hospital.  However, she did not expect to meet her ex-husband, Ning Zhi Qian, who is the most experienced neurosurgeon at Bei Yah Hospital. 

Ning Zhi Qian volunteers to be Ruan Liu Zheng's mentor in order to make up for the hurt he caused her.  Ruan Liu Zheng is no longer a weak and timid girl and shows resolute determination in both her work and relationship. During work, Ruan Liu Zheng clashes with Ning Zhi Qian but also works alongside him to save lives.  

[2023] Crash Course in Romance - Ep 01 (You and I, The Intersection of Two Universes)

We meet Nam Haeng-Seon and Choi Chi-Yeol in the first few minutes of the episode before we get to meet these 3 HS kids. One of them is Nam Hae-E (Roh Yoon-Seo).  I didn't catch the names of the other 2, a boy and girl.  As expected there's a rich kid, this time a female, who likes to taunt Hae-E and her 2 friends about how well they didn't do on their exams.

The rich girl gets picked up from school by her mother and gossips about how it sounds to her like the kids screwed up on their mock exams.  The girl says she might have the highest score this year.  Her mother gets excited but then tones it down so as not to jinx the outcome of the actual exam.  Her mother says she has bad news for her and the kid said she's "feeling generous" so she'll allow her to say it.  Her mother confesses that she couldn't get her a front seat at the exam class and the girl flips.

After watching a bit more, Hae-E's guy friend is Sun-Jae and it seems he's got a little crush on her.

Forgot to mention that Lee Bong-Ryun is in this. She was in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

Haeng-Seon (who runs a side dish store) is Hae-E's mother.

After one of Chi-Yoel's classes, he's mobbed by the female students on his way to the elevator.  There's a girl who yells out that she made cookies for him and he hits the "close doors" button.  The girl, unphased by the rudeness, doesn't dissuade her from pursuing him.  

As he's walking out of the elevator, he's called by one of the school's employees.  Chi Yeol's assistant tries to mouth her name to him and he ends up calling her the wrong name.  She's annoyed but tells him she has a friend she wants to set him up with.  He politely declines by telling her he'd rather meet someone naturally.  The woman says her friend is a pianist and she's gorgeous but Chi Yeol still says "I'm good" and walks away with his assistant who says "I'm sorry" as he walks away.

This episode brings a "sticky situation" for Chi Yoel and a secret about Hae-E and her mother.  

Good drama so far!

[2023] Crash Course in Romance

Next Kdrama,  No special reason that I picked it. 

Synopsis from Asianwiki (with some changes I made):

Nam Haeng-Seon used to be a national athlete and now runs a side dish store.  She has a super positive personality.  She decides to enter the private education field preparing students for their university entrance exams.  Unexpectedly, she gets involved with Choi Chi-Yoel

Choi Chi-Yeol is a popular instructor in the private education field.  He works hard at his job.  With his students, he speaks without reserve and implements showmanship in his lessons.  He is wealthy and famous as well as popular but with increasing success he has become more sensitive, prickly and indifferent to people.  

Then he meets Nam Haeng-Seon with her super positive personality.  The relationship between them develops romanitcally.

I am a few minutes into the first episode and I see that Roh Yoon-Seo whom I LOVED in "Our Blues" is also in this.  

SIDE NOTE:

I am also going to restart 2 other Kdramas.  A Korean Odyssey cuz I really liked it and cuz Lee Seung-Gi and Lee Hong-Ki are in it.  I also really like Cha Seung-Won.  I wish Lee Hong-Ki did more dramas!

Also going to restart  The King: Eternal Monarch.  I hate Lee Min-Ho so very very much but I LOVE Kim Go-Eun so I'm okay with tolerating him.  I really liked this and I think I was almost done with it but it got left behind just like A Korean Odyssey.

Kiriko's Crime Diary on NHK

 Decided to watch this one next!

Fill in the Blanks (Kuuhaku wo Mitashinasai) - Episode 05

 Chika reveals to Tetsuo that before they started dating, she used to pass out.  It stopped after they started to date but started again after he died.

Tetsuo is at a brand new office belonging to a re-lifer friend and they are discussing an idea for a new business when he gets a call from Chika.  "Thank God you're alive".  Tetsuo learns that a Polish gentleman he met at the re-lifer meeting has gone missing without a trace.  He meets up with Chika and tells her he thinks his time with her will be short.

Tetsuo tries to understand why Chika is passing out again.  The answer may lie in her life with her parents and the way she was treated by them.  It appears the issue lies with her mother.  Tetsuo convinces Chika that it's about time they went to visit her parents since they haven't seen them in a very long time.  Knowing that he may disappear any day, he tells her there's something he has to do.  She reluctantly agrees to go.

When they get to her parent's home, everything seems normal until her mother starts digging into her.  She sits there, takes the verbal abuse in front of Tetsuo and Riku and says nothing.  Tetsuo's eyes start to water as he calmly defends Chicka.  Her mother doesn't let up and Tetsuo calmly continues to defend Chicka as her father begins to tear.   They leave the parent's home and Chika manages to smile a little bit as she turns to look up at her parents before turning around and heading home.

The website says that there are 10 episodes but it's actually only 5.  There are 10 total but 5 are subbed and 5 are dubbed. 

This was a pretty good drama.  Gotta figure out which one I'm going to watch next on this site

Watch the last episode here:  Fill in the Blanks Ep 05 (Final)

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 02

Jin Yang Choel died 20 years prior to the unveiling of the bust for which there was a big party at the beginning of episode 1.

At the beginning of episode 2, Hyeon Woo is trying to figure out what's happened to him.  He's still himself but now he's also the youngest child (Jin Do-Jun) of Jin Yang Choel's youngest son (who was basically disowned by the family because he married an actress).  It doesn't take long for Do Jun to realize what this means and he uses his knowledge of the family and of events that have already happened to change the course of history.  He does this a couple of times which eventually leads to Jin Yang Choel to accept his youngest son Jin Young Jae and his family back into his.

By the end of this episode, Hyeon Woo realizes exactly why he has returned as Jin Do-Jun.

[2022] Reborn Rich - 재벌집 막내아들 - Episode 01

 I just finished Behind Every Star.  I'm looking forward to season 2 (not confirmed or even being talked about yet by tvN or Netflix.  The way it ended, it needs a season 2.  I recommend this one!

Okay now, episode 01 of Reborn Rich. I read that this was a good one so I started this one last night. Once again it started off slow for me.  I think I mentioned I figure this is mostly because I don't know who is who yet.  It was slow but interesting.

Yoon Hyeon-Woo has been working for Soonyang Corp for several years.  He was hired when he was just out of school and knows pretty much every little detail about the company.

He's a loyal employee doing as he's asked and doesn't ask any questions.  He also looks after the family and is treated like a servant.  

At a beginning of the episode, the first few minutes are of Hyeon Woo having a large sum of money being deposited into his account.  He walks out of the bank and then we go back (I think it was a week prior?) to see how he got to that point.

The story starts on a day when the unveiling of a bust of the founder of Soonyang, Jin Yang-Cheol was to happen.  Hyeon Woo e meets with a new employee under him, Shin Kyung-Min. Kyung-Min admires Hyeon-Woo and he is completely star struck when he meets him.  He asks Hyeon Woo to teach him everything because he aspires to be just like him.  So Hyeon Woo takes him under his wing.

Just about at the end of this episode, there is a HUGE twist that I didn't see coming at all.  I have to confess though, I'm really bad about predicting where a story is going when I watch American TV shows but Asian dramas are quite predictable when you've watched enough.  I've been watching since the early 90s and this twist got me good.  By the end of this episode I was completely hooked!

REWATCH: [2008] Bara no nai Hanaya - 薔薇のない花屋

 Since I started to watch some new J-dramas, I've fallen in love with them all over again.  I went a lot of years without watching because they were difficult to find with English subs.  After not watching for a few years, I tried to watch some that I found but they didn't really interest me much.

I'm going to re-watch Bara no Nai Hanaya or "Flower Shop Without Roses".  I remember really liking this one and I don't remember it so I'm going to rewatch and see if I still like it.

This drama had 11 episodes and tonight I'm going to watch E01.

Behind Every Star (2022)

 I just finished E11 of 12.  I'm not going to write about this show since I completely forgot to start writing about it when I started to watch it. It was a nice drama and I can't wait to see how it ends!

Fill in the Blanks (Kuuhaku wo Mitashinasai) - Episode 04

 Tetsuo pays a visit to his grandmother and mother, who in E01 said she understood why he committed suicide.

Tetsuo goes to visit Saeki to learn the truth about how he died.  Eventually, he realizes what happened and when he gets home, he tells Chika everything he remembers that took him to that point and how he felt just before he died.

Tetsuo, Chika and their son Riku go on a trip to an amusement park.  Riku crosses a roped bridge and from the other side, he yells out to Tetsuo to cross over by calling him "Dad".  A surprised Tetsuo crosses over and then Riku yells out to his mother to cross over.  Chika stands there staring off into space and then she collapses.

Watch episode 4 here:  Fill in the Blanks Ep 04

Fill in the Blanks (Kuuhaku wo Mitashinasai) - Episode 03

 Tetsuo is invited to join the newly formed "Re-Lifer's Society".  On his way to the hotel (meeting place), he makes friend with another re-lifer and they talk about how they died.  The guy says he died by accidental drowning due to a rip current in the ocean.  Tetsuo tells him he died by accident when he fell off a building.

When they arrive to the hotel, they are met by protesters.  

Once seated, there are speakers that discuss why they have come back to life, the discrimination they face, and the hope that they can make the world a better place.

After the meeting, Tetsuo is alone in his room.  He takes in the beautiful ocean view and then someone slips a DVD under his door.  He picks it up and puts it in the DVD player, then sits down to watch it.

Mind blowing episode cliffhanger!

Watch episode 3 here: Fill in the Blanks Ep 03

Fill in the Blanks (Kuuhaku wo Mitashinasai) - Episode 02

 Last episode eluded that something happened between Tetsuo's wife, Chika and the guy he suspects murdered him, Saeki. Family friend Akiyoshi, who owns a store, asked Chika if Tetsuo knows about "what happened" with Saeki and she shakes her head "no".

Since Tetsuo wasn't able to get his old job back, Akiyoshi gave him a job at his store as a favor to Chika.  The other employees know he's a "re-lifer" and one kid in particular, does not like him and he doesn't hide it.

There are protests against re-lifers and they are discriminated against.

Watch episode 2 here:  Fill in the Blanks E02

Fill in the Blanks (Kuuhaku wo Mitashinasai) - Episode 01

Thanks to Facebook, I found out that NHK as been offering some dramas with English subs on their site.  I have no idea how long they've been doing this but I'm glad they are.  I was looking at the programs they have and there are quite a few that I want to watch.

So this drama is about a guy who comes back to life after he had died 3 years before.  There have been many people this has happened to and they call them "re-lifers".

Official cause of death for Tetsuo was suicide but he was murdered because there's no way he would have committed suicide.  According to the police report, suicide was the only possible reason.

Main character, Tsuchiya Tetsuo, was married with 1 son and believes he was happy so there was no way he died by suicide.  He has no way to prove it because he doesn't remember what happened. 

This first episode has him trying to get his old job back and trying to figure out who murdered him.  He thinks it was this security guy at work but again, no proof.  So he goes to the police to tell them he thinks he was murdered.

Watch this episode here: Fill in the Blanks Ep01

New Year's Resolution For 2023

 Since I last posted that I was coming back, I have watched a lot of dramas but failed to post.  Initially, it was because the laptop I had was shit.  It was so slow that using it became painful to use.  

Before COVID, I had a laptop at work that I was using with no issues.  Once COVID hit and we were told to work from home, I never brought my work laptop with me.  I used my personal laptop figuring we'd be back in the office soon enough, but a few weeks turned into many months and nearly 2 years later, we were told we had the option of going into the office or working from home (as long as our direct manager approved it). I decided to work from home. I kept using my personal laptop even though it was annoyingly slow, until one day it just broke.  It was even slower than ever before, and it was causing me problems where I could not log into the work system so I could, you know, WORK lol.

I ended up going to the office to get my laptop, just to find out they had taken it away.  They thought I had my work laptop and somehow, I had an extra one.  I had to get a new one.  

Last Christmas, while I was having the issue with my personal laptop, I gifted myself a MacBook Air that I was using only for personal things.  Once I got my new work laptop, probably this past June or July, I got myself a new personal laptop (windows).  

I also got a new position at my full-time job and with that, new hours.  I also managed to gain 10 more hours at my part-time job.  When I first started at my PT job, it was 5 hours for 2 days.  The same 2 days I was off from my FT job.  I needed something that would force me to get up early instead of wasting my mornings in bed.  After I got my new position las December, I somehow ended up being added to 2 more days.  I don't know how that happened and every day I get up at 0520 to go work I absolutely hate it but I've learned to live with it because I like the paycheck.  I started at $10/hr which isn't much but when I got the job it wasn't about the money.  The money was a nice bonus.  I just wanted a reason to force myself to get up in the morning on the days I didn't HAVE to be up to go to work.  Without a reason to get up, I would end up waking up by noon and I'd hate the feeling knowing I slept 1/2 the day away doing zero.  It happened a lot and I hated it so getting a PT job was the solution.  

With the 2 jobs, I don't have a hell of a lot of time to watch dramas, but I manage to fit some in. 

Finding a site that will let me upload pics to put on my sidebar for free is a hassle so what I will be doing from now on is just listing the dramas in alphabetical order without any pictures or any links to get to it so you can watch.  I'll also update "Currently Watching" the same way.  My first post when I start a new drama, will have a pic of the "official" poster for the show.

Making these changes will make it easier for me to post as I won't need to dedicate as much time as I used to.

I'll be updating all the dramas I've watched periodically as I remember which ones I've watched 

My Second Comeback??

 I got busy at work and life again and had no time to post here or even watch many dramas.  I did watch a few and sometime I'll find a few minutes to post them all.  At least the ones I remember.

Today I am going to start 3 new Kdramas and 1 new Cdrama.  I'll probably watch 1 episode of each.  Today is my lazy day so I am commited to doing nothing but relaxing and watching my shows.

Under the Queen's Umbrella
Behind Every Star
The King's Affection
Love Between Fairy and Devil

I'm also going to continue watching these dramas that I'm already in the middle of...

Once Upon a Small Town
Café Minamdang

MY COMEBACK

 Though I have been watching a lot of Kdramas since I last posted, I'm still so bummed out that I can't make screenshots anymore.  I loved doing them and posting them here and on Pinterest.  I guess I'm going to have to figure a way to do it because I used to have a couple of ways to make them but now none of them work.  I know somewhere out in the www, there is a solution for this problem and I am stubborn enough to keep digging until I find it.

Until then, I'm going to start posting about the shows I'm watching.  I'll be complimenting and criticizing as well as venting.

I'm currently watching BUSINESS PROPOSAL, MY LIBERATION NOTES, ALCHEMY OF SOULS, OUR BLUES & THE KING: ETERNAL MONARCH

So far I'm not finding Alchemy of Souls to be very good.  I watched about 20 minutes and I wasn't feeling it so I decided to leave it alone for a while.  I will go back to it sometime this month

I started watching The King: Eternal Monarch when it first came out and then I got side tracked and forgot to go back.  I went back last week and thankfully, I remembered what was going on so I didn't have to watch it back from the beginning.  Same thing happened when I was watching The Legend of The Blue Sea TWICE!  The first time, I started watching when it first came out but it was left behind and I was forced to re-watch from the beginning because I couldn't remember what was going on.  I didn't get as far as the first time before it got forgotten again.  At some point, I will go back to watching it.

I have about 20 minutes left before I'm done watching Our Blues and I've been lallygagging to watch because I don't want it to be over.  It wasn't a great drama but it was Kim Woo Bin's first show back after he had to stop to take care of himself so the sentimental part of it outweighed the fact that the drama was about an 8/10 for me.

I started watching My Liberation Notes because of this girl I follow on TikTok.  I love her and trust her tastes (about 85% of the time lol) because she freaking hates Lee Min Ho.  Probably not as much as I do but she don't like him and that makes her a-okay by me.

I've got plenty of stuff to say and I'm gonna say it here.

Disappearing Pics

So, I just realized that the place I was using to get the pics, will take them down if I do not own the pic.  I found a new place that doesn't have any such terms so as the pics start to disappear from this blog, I will use the new place until I can afford to get my own site to upload the pics.

ACTIVITY UPDATE

It's become more difficult to keep up this blog.  I've been working 2 jobs for almost 3 years now and it doesn't leave me much free time.  I have 1 full time job and 1 part time job where I work 2 days a week.  It starts really early and since I am a night owl, I don't get a lot of sleep before I need to be at my part time job.  After I get home, that's when I get the sleep I've missed the night before.  Soon though, I will be able to put a bit more effort into posting more.

With DramaFever now gone and Netflix showing some good dramas, it's getting difficult to do screenshots because Netflix has done something to make it impossible to get screenshots. I read up on it and it's just a pain to explain because I partly don't understand the technical part of it.  I only understand that they had to do it to prevent people from being able to copy the dramas.

That being said, if I have to watch a drama on Netflix, there won't be any screenshots.  It'll just be me trying to talk about an episode without trying to give too much away!  There are still other platforms where I can watch dramas but I haven't done so YET and I don't know if I can get screenshots from there.

I have been trying to get people to agree to do some summaries or opinion posts to get other POVs but so far the 2 people I know said they don't think they are good enough to write.  Both of them are good writers but don't think they would do a good job.  I will try to convince them anyway.  If there is anyone out there that happens to find my blog and wants to write a post about a drama, please send me a message! nyjellybean66@gmail.com. 

This blog began as a place for me to keep a list of my Japanese dramas.  It used to be "Jellybean Loves Japanese Dramas".   I then started writing a little bit about what I was watching. It was mostly  so I could remember what I had watched.  I never thought anyone would stumble upon my blog.  I still don't know if anyone was reading it...  I then started to make a list of all the Japanese movies I was had watched and I named it "Jellybean Loves Japanese Movies".

Then I started watching Korean dramas and doing screenshots...then I watched a Chinese drama and a Taiwanese one .   And I started watching some Korean movies.

The blogs became "Jellybean Loves Asian Dramas" and "Jellybean Loves Asian Movies"!

I have been watching dramas and movies since I last posted but I've been lazy to update the blog. The host I was using for pics is no longer active so I need to re-do everything on a new host.  I will be updating the old ones slowly and the new ones will be up as I watch them.

Signal (Japanese Version)

I'm back!

I have to seriously update this blog jic someone out there was looking forward to my screenshots.  Even if nobody enjoys them I DO.

If I havent mentioned it before, I really suck at reviews/summaries.  I know I started out doing those but I never liked them. SO...if anyone reading this wants to be like a "guest poster" and write summaries of episodes or an opinion piece about a drama they've watched, PLEASE email me and let me know.  I can post it here.

So, I've eliminated all the pics of dramas I am watching now and I'll have to start rebuiling my list.  That will take some time though.  I have an extra day off a week from this Thursday so I may end up updating the blog that day.

Last night I started watching the Japanese version of the Korean original "Signal".  I loved the Korean one and I am excited about the Japanese one!  The female lead is Michiko Kichise who was in "Bloody Monday" and "Bloody Monday 2".

I'm going to watch the first 3 episodes tonight and screenshots will be up soon!!

Time To Fix

So I noticed that a lot of my pics are missing.  I'm going to have to update my list of dramas again.  I don't know why they're gone.

Ever since DramaFever closed down, it's been shitty having to figure out where I was going to spend my money to get a new subscription. After many months, I think I am going to sign up with Kocowa.  I think once I am with them, I will be allowed to watch on Viki as well. 

It's also been shitty trying to figure out what the new dramas coming up are.  Before I was paying for DF, the commercials were great.  I knew exactly what was coming and I always added them to my list.  Then I started paying which got rid of the commercials but at least I knew I could count on DF's FB posts to tell me what was coming up.  Now I'm lost.  I started looking on YouTube which is a bit of a hassle but it works for now.

I'm going to have to dedicate some time to cleaning up this blog and my Asian Movie blog too.

I'll have to take some PTO (which I am seriously due for) and I'll clean up my blog then.

I'll be back in the near future to update my watch list!

Starting Over One More Time

As you can see, I'm in the middle of several dramas now.  There are 2 that I need to start watching and when I do, I will be blogging about it again.  Going to try my hand at a little summary and lots of screenshots.  I'm also trying to get a friend to be a guest reviewer as well.  She writes as a hobby and she's really good!

I'm going to re-start watching "GRAND PRINCE" with Yoon Shi Yoon.  This one has already finished.  I started watching it when it first came out and I sort of fell behind and it's been quite a while so I'm going to need to re-watch.  I can't just start back from where I think I left off!

I'm going to start watching "WHEN TIME STOPPED" with Kim Hyun Joong.  His first drama in 4 years. 

So, I'll be back soon with some words about EP 1 of Grand Prince and a few screenshots!

[MV] Suzy (수지) - I Love You Boy (While You Were Sleeping OST Part.4) 당신이 잠든 사이에 OST Part.4

Also love this one...

[MV] Henry - It's You (While You Were Sleeping OST Part 2) 당신이 잠든 사이에 OST Part 2

I love this song so much.  I could listen to this and to Suzy's "I Love You Boy".  

This fan did a great job on his vids but he uses the same scenes in all of them.  Which I understand because there weren't that many episodes out when he did them.  I love this one the most though...

While You Were Sleeping

I couldn't wait to watch this one after I heard about it.

I'm already a huge fan of Lee Jong-suk and I also love Suzy so I was very excited!

Here are screenshots from the 16 episodes out so far.  They're in no particular order.

I will try and put up screenshots from episodes 17-20 over the weekend.

Screenshots of The Bride of the Water God ~ 하백의 신부 2017

I got lazy when I did these and I did not really pay much attention to which episode these screenshots were from.

Main cast:

Nam Joo-Hyuk ~ 남주혁 as Ha-baek
Shin Se-Kyung ~ 신세경 as Yoon So-ah
Lim Ju-hwan ~ 임주환 as Shin Hoo Ye

In no particular order...

"The Best Hit" Screenshots - Part 01

I titled this "part 01" because when I started watching "The Best Hit", I wasn't really liking it too much.  I started watching because of Yoon Shi Yoon and it took quite a few episodes before I warmed up to it.  I didn't think the role of Yoo Hyun Jae was suited for him.  Eventually, the character evolved into something that was quite him.  It was because I didn't like it at the beginning that I didn't do any screenshots.  It wasn't until somewhere about episode 27 or 28 that I decided to do them.  These screenshots are from the last few episodes.  I'm going to have to re-watch this at another time so I can get screenshots from the beginning.

I am going to re-watch "Goblin" in the next few days and I'm going to do screenshots this time.  

Enjoy the YSY screenshots below :)
