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

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.

 This is the reason I want to try these food out! It just looks so delicious! The way they are enjoying the food makes me want to try even more!

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♥

I realized it kinda looks creepy here, haha! but promise! it was really cute♥

The amount of time I've seen this ''Pork belly'' I seriously lost count. and also countless time they say ''it melts in my mouth'' just makes me even more hungry. 








.......................................................................................................................................................
In conclusion I am really hungry right now, I will go order Pizza as I am not getting any of these dishes.


Love,

Kdrama Review:Thumping Spike 2

Ah! Throwback to one of the best drama character ''Kim Yeol'' from Sassy go go, Now here again Lee won keun is ready to make me fall in love with him all over again. I miss Kim yeol and other characters from Sassy go go. Loved that show so so so so so much. Now I am realizing all over again how much I liked that show. Sweet memories.

So, Thumping spike 2. I loved Lee won keun, probably the reason I was willing to watch the show. I haven't watched the Thumping spike 1, but as far I watched thumping spike 2, I am not upset with the drama, but I am not completely satisfied either.

PLOT:6/10
CAST:9/10
ENJOYMENT: 6/10
OVERALL: 6.5/10

PLOT

'Introverted bookworm Han Da Woon (Kim So Eun) starts to come out of her shell when she bumps heads with Dong Hae Sung (Lee Won Geun), the star player of her school's volleyball team.
REVIEW

I must say, Lee won keun's character was nicely done but definitely he was way better in Sassy Go Go.  Hae sung is the star volleyball player who decided to drop his career and pursue his studying. His character should I say could've been better written. The main problem of this show is after few episodes, things started to make less sense, and kind of lost it's plot. Even though overall I enjoyed the show, I am not satisfied wih the fact that the drama was poorly written. Some things just COMPLETELY didn't make sense. after episode 12ish I wanted to drop the show, but still decided to continue, only hoping for the show to get better. It didn't get completely better, but definitely was less worse. 
Kim So eun as Han Da Woon, probably isn't the best character. She started off as sweet innocent looking but later on, found her as one of the most frustrating female lead. She just won't speak up for her own life for some reason.

She does really look adorable tho

Episode 1-10: at episode 9-10, when I finally started to think I am enjoying the show, despite of some bits here and there which I was willing to forgive, suddenly out of nowhere, the drama started to get weirder. The plot just didn't make sense.here some quick lists.
..........SPOILER ALERT...............

• Unnecessary and cringey relationship between Go Yi ra and Han da won. 
• If she was unhappy with the relationship, she should speak up! 
• Hae sung out of nowhere confesses her feelings to Da won? 
• Dad applying to drop-out college without even him knowing (It's not believable in any sense)
• The whole fan stabbing his hand was utterly useless
• At hospital, anything and everything happened was completely nonsense. Why they are  refusing to get the surgery done? why the dad is begging the doctor? Why dad and hae sung became all good and nice suddenly ? just why and why??
• Da won going out with the two boys at the same time/when she could break up with Yi ra first., but decided to play along (So unlike of her ''sweet'' personality)

• I straight up got so annoyed with the fact that Yi ra trusted both Hae sung and Da woon, and got back-stabbed by them. for the whole they treated him like some kind of insect. There was no friendship development between them.

The stuff I enjoyed..

• The sisterhood between Han da woon and her twin sis.
• I loved how the both twins are completely different.
• Ah reum was my favourite. Her attitude was always on point.

Ah reum♥

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Go yi ra. He is a funny, good looking character and probably the main character for me. He is the only one who cared about stuff which made sense. for instance, He started off liking volleyball and could do anything to play, and He finished off the drama playing volleyball and won.

• I liked the ending where Go yi ra found his girl(finally) who is perfect for his personality. The girl is none other than Han da won's sister, who definitely managed to be likable unlike her frustrating sister Han Da Won
• The cute smile of Lee won geun
• Cute scenes from the beginning between our leads

The stuff I wished to happen...

• More screen space for Han da won's sister. Who apparently appeared once in a while, still managed to be more female lead material than our actual lead.
• I wished everybody appreciate Go yi ra for once.
• to witness a story for Go Yi ra and Da won's sis, Ah reum.

Overall Grading- D
