Let's go shopping!Kdrama Review:Shopping king louis

Image result for shopping king louie
I loved this show.
Three words. Simple, fun, adorable. it happens very often where you can find good written fun drama. Shopping king Louis is worth your time, I promise. Fell in love with Seo In Guk instantly after watching this drama. The male lead is complete oppopsite from what we've seen in dramaland. He is sweet, innocent who needs to be protected from the world! and our female lead does the job beautifully.

Cast: 10/10
Plot: 8/10
enjoyment: 10/10
overall:9/10 


 Plot
A romantic comedy about Louis (Seo In-guk), a rich heir who always spends money to buy everything that has a subtle beauty talking to his soul. One day he loses his memory and meets Bok-Shil (Nam Ji-hyun), a pure and energetic woman from the countryside. She is at first astounded by his spending habits. In the process of teaching him to only buy bare necessities or inexpensive small kindnesses that lighten up one's day, she also learns that bare necessities are not same for everyone as they depend on everyone's own values that shape their life and thus their shopping patterns. Both have innate innocence which bring them to care for each other, leading to undeniable love.

Good
I can't explain you enough how cute and pure the characters are from this drama if you haven't watch the show yet.First of all, it breaks all the cliche of rich guy-poor girl in dramaland. For a change you won't see any Love-hate relationship between leads or parents being against their relationship. He's the most down to earth chaebol I've ever seen. His character was simply pure and full of generosity. I've never missed a character or attached to it after so long time.

  • Louis: Best.Best.Best. He is an innocent chaebol who doesn't know anything about the world. He was never negative. In dramas, you expect the male lead to change but in this show Louis always was the same person deep down. Even after he lost his memories and became homeless he was the same person. I loved how he learnt how to be mature, even after gaining so many experiences he never lost his innocence and pureness, In simple sentence I MISS LOUIS!
  • His puppy face whenever he asked for money from bok shil was pure gem! It always worked.

  • Bok-shil: This girl is adorable. I loved how innocent she is, even though she is mature enough to understand what is bad and good, she never failed to impress  us with her warm heart. She is always helpful to others. Can I just say how much I appreciate her boldness. She was always the one who fought with others for Louis,  nearly saved him from goons, and she was the bread-maker of their small little happy family.

  • I loved how this show demonstrates the difficulties of different situations. For instance, I loved the way they bought a house, and created their small little world of happiness. ah! cute 
  • My favourite scene was everytime little Louis gets happy because of bok shil's kindness! Loved the way Louis slowly learnt how to develop feelings even though he was a child himself. I never was prepared for Louis who's so innocent and childlike will fall in love.  Seriously, when Louis kissed bok shil for the first time, only thoughts were going through my mind was ''Is it the innocent and childlike Louis I know??'' I so not was prepared.

  • The second male lead: Although I don't consider him as second lead, he played more of a father role for our leads. I enjoyed his character very much. He was short-tempered but kind guy. I enjoyed his prickly personality more than anything , had a good laugh while watching him fight with louis for bok shil. I liked the idea of his face staying in exact same reaction throughout the whole series. I hated the age difference between him and bok shil, he was 40 and bok shil was 21, How does he fall in love with a girl, exact half his age! but then again love has no age. sigh!

  • The main point in this drama is you will never get sick of cuteness, if you have a same drama taste as me. Before watching the show I thought I would eventually become bored of this drama but I happy to announce that it never happened! You will become so invested in characters that you can't stop but fall in love with them.
  • The show wasn't rushing in any sense. It was going slowly and smoothly. It was really well written that everything was just happening one by one. Overall The show was very organized with the story line. And the ending♥ I just loved how the leads got more closer after the ending. LOVED IT!

  • I want to take a moment to appreciate the cinematography. It was beautiful. straightway you will get the happy vibe from this drama. If you want to watch a happy fun loving drama after a long day, just watch this drama, I promise it will put a smile on your face. The drama has this pastel vibe♥

Love story of a ghost!Kdrama review:Let's fight ghost/Bring it on,ghost!

Image result for lets fight ghost

This drama was surprisingly good. I never thought I would like a ghost drama this much. The teaser and summery seemed a little bit down for me, but as you start to watch the show, you start to realize that you actually are enjoying the show. It wasn't a really complicated horror drama. it was fun and a bit scary to watch. I am not saying ''scary'' as in jumpscares, the antagonist did a great job to creep me out. Overall, enjoyable to watch.
Plus Taecyeon's adorable smile is enough to keep you going♥ Dream high throwback!

PLOT: 6/10
CAST: 8/10
ENJOYMENT: 7/10
OVERALL: 7/10

PLOT

Park Bong-pal (Ok Taec-yeon) has grown up with ability to see ghosts and uses this ability to work as an exorcist, banishing ghosts, but only weak ones, in order to make enough money to take away his ability to see ghosts. Called to a haunted school he encounters Kim Hyun-ji (Kim So-hyun) a feisty middle high-school student who, because of a traffic accident, became a wandering spirit the day before her college entrance exams. The two accidentally kiss and Hyun-ji discovers that Bong-pal holds the secret as to why she is a spirit. In order to be freed from endlessly wandering the earth as a ghost and to ascend to the next life, Hyun-ji convinces Bong-pal to allow her to live with him and the two become ghost fighting partners.

Good

I have to say, I enjoyed reasonable a lot of things from the show. It was a unusual romance from any other dramas I've watched.
I developed a great tenderness for the characters in the show. Let's begin with our OTP.

  • Kim so hyun and Taecyeon: I absolutely adored taechyun in dream high. This show suits him in several ways, Taecyeon plays as a ghost hunter Park Bong Pal. Unlike kim so hyun's character he's very quite and lonely. He doesn't know how to express any feelings and that lead him to live a lonely outcast life. I am surprised that age difference didn't bother me at all. Usually the age difference is the main reason why i don't appreciate a drama, but here this wasn't a setback for me. I appreciate their adorableness♥ Unlike Park bong pal,  Hyun ji is a fun-loving ghost, who doesn't remember anything regarding to her life. I loved hyun ji more than anything, her little appreciation for everything was endearing. Top of that she's full of ayego but super strong at the same time. Also, they make a great ghost-fighter team. The ghosts-human relationship was cute and unusual.
  • The kissing scene in the beginning, I definitely didn't find it awkward or cringey, I am sure Director was trying to keep in mind the age gap. It was simple for an accidental kiss.
  • Spoiler-------------I enjoyed little things like, how Hyun ji gets so happy after Bong pal bought her a toothbrush. The way she was treasuring the brush was way too cute and heart warming---------------End spoiler
  • spoiler-------------- The time bong pal got beaten up by our female lead was weirdly amusing to me, I love when there's a strong female lead who can beat ass. ----------------end spoiler

  • I found the ghost-stories highly enjoyable. Some stories were very emotional and serious, where other's were really funny. 
  • Spoiler**-------------- Especially, the story of son-mother who were killed by an abusive father was extremely touching and emotional. ----------------End spoiler

  • In Rang and Chun Sang: The duo was surprisingly funny and enjoyable to watch. You can watch them whole day doing silly things. There was some moments where I realized I started to adore this duo. I loved how these two were supporting the relationship of Hyun ji and Bong pal♥  It was heart touching to see how they adored Hyun ji and bong pal. Although I never understood the point of taking them in the Ghost-beating team , cause there wasn't a single fight where these two helped our OTP. They were just scary cats who had the courage to go near the ghosts. anyways, had a great laugh while watching them♥  over-the-top reactions are always my favourites.

  • Hye sung: Even though i was disgusted by this particular character that it nearly made me stop watching the show, I will put this under the ''Goods'' as it did a job that it wanted. Hye sung's creepy nature did a great job convincing me to loathe against it. ugh. It nearly made me cry and disgusted when he was taking life from a cute kitten. and numerous number of people that he murdered.

Bad


·      Huge spoilers--------Show became kind of boring when it was revealed that Hyun ji is alive, after she got her life back she apperantly forgot the time she spent with bong pal. poor boy. Why does it has to happen? More than ghost busting, there were just boring track of how bong pal will regain her love for him. She eventually fell in love with him again, but not satisfied at all with the fact that she will never remember the amazing moments when she was with Bong pal. ------------------End spoiler

Delicious Korean foods from kdramas!

Okay, I've seen a lot of glimpse of various types of food in dramaland. Can I just point out that how much I want to try these dishes. It looks incredibly attractive and then the way they present it in a drama, like taking a sip and eating it with your whole mind and soul. I am a fan of spicy food! Usually, I don't eat that much. but when I like something or I find something delicious I can spend hours with that thing. or you can say I am a slow eater but that's not the point, Today I specifically want to talk about the food that is shown in dramas.

Me while watching an episode. When you have to choose between the reading subtitles or staring at the characters eating Ramen. Speaking of Ramen, isn't it the usual noodles or it's different? either way it looks highly pleasent to the taste. I've been noticing Ramen way more than before after watching ''The K2''. Thant Ramen scene was way too adorable♥
