Orange Marmalade (오렌지 마말레이드) ~ Korean Drama Review N*2


UNFINISHED
Ok, if you read my 'upcoming' post on Orange Marmalade, you know that I was pretty excited about it. 
What pulled me in was the vampire aspect. But...2-3 months later, I still can't get into the show. It was bland right off the bat and horribly developed. I mean, it wasn't even developed at all! And it shouldn't be that way when the episodes are an hour long each. That makes no sense and I hate when they do that. How do you expect someone to watch something for that long and it isn't even worth watching?
Yes, this is supposed to be a review of some sort. An half xxxx one because I honestly cannot stand to watch anymore of it, and had only made it to episode 4.

 I swear nothing advanced. Why hadn't I suspected it to be cliche and uncreative- unoriginal? I, unlike a lot of hardcore vampire fanatics, don't criticize the works that have twisted and reinvented facts. Because I find it stupid to do that. They can change whatever they want.  I love both pretty and ugly blood-sucking creatures. But this drama was too obvious and didn't do it for me. What the heck was up with the vibrant purple eyes?!

The characters introductions were rushed and they lacked depth. I wasn't able to even relate to any of them. Instead of actually being a race, the vampires acted like they were showing off their quirks. It was so cringeful to watch. If you want to watch something horribly funny or for background noise, then go head  But other than those two reasons, I DO NOT recommend it.

Unfortunately, I am not going to watch it any further. I'm through. And I don't like not finishing a show, but what gives?

If you have watched it and have some arguments of your own, let me know. I'd love to also hear from someone who actually enjoyed it.

 Watch more dramas, listen to more G-Dragon and learn some Korean! <3

Image belongs to Asianwiki.com 

Release Date: May 15, 2015 ~TOMORROW!
Runtime: Fridays 22:35 (10p) 
Episodes: 12 (to be confirmed) 
Broadcast network: KBS2
Broadcast period: 2015-May-15 to 2015-June-19 


I've been waiting for this! I am rarely ever early to drama releases. 
And I'm all aboard anything Vampire related, especially in a drama. But then again, I still to this day can't get past 2 minutes of Blood, so I don't know, hahaha. 

I read a few posts around and they said the episodes would be released in twos, which is super cool! I don't think I've ever seen that been done before now. It'll make it go by a lot quicker too. But that also means the days will be further spaced. But whatever, I'm all for back2back episodes! 

And though I'm not familiar with any of the cast members, I can honestly say that 여진구 has won my eyes. He's pretty cute. 

Anyway, it comes out TOMORROW! Wooohooo! I'm so excited! 



이민호 + 배수지 ~ Newly Blossomed Romance


News of Lee Min-ho and Suzy Bae dating spread late March of this year (2015). There has been a lot of bashing on both sides; how LMH is too old for SB and how she could've done a lot better and was too good for him.
I just don't understand. How is she too good for him? You don't even know them, hahaha! How could you talk bad about who someone chooses to date, for the sole reason, that there's someone else you'd rather them to be with? It's acceptable in dramas and movies but I think it is uncalled for in real life.

But when I found out, I was unbelievably happy for them. I mean, I had no idea that actresses and actors even dated during their career. Actually, I thought it was forbidden for some reason. Probably because some music idols aren't allowed to due of their (slave) contracts. This is my first time hearing about it, and especially so early. I feel special, hahaha.

But honestly I don't care who is with who. As long as they're with someone and not just wasting away lonely in fame and money.
I find this pairing is adorable but also unexpected, would've never guessed these two to be involved with one another.
Though of course Min-ho's fans are still rooting for him and Shin-hye. Which isn't a surprise, but I think both girls match him and either relationship would look pretty cute. 'Cause none of us know what really happens behind closed doors. Whether it's a good one or not. Or if it'll be long term.

As long as my little guys (idols) are happy, safe and not doing anything to harm others, I'm all good!
 I stand by Min-ho and Suzy's relationship 1000000%!


But what's your opinion on this new and adorable love?
