FINALLY... I made it to the Rainbow

Finally finished Golden Rainbow and all I can say is... that was an ordeal... It almost made me question why I watch Kdrama in the first place.
  I was going to write on and on about the drama and even have spoilers, but you know what if you want the experience of Golden Rainbow then go for it.  I am still stuck on the fact that I watch about 5-10 episodes of Kdrama where the main couple fall in love or something, only for that whole thing to be dismantled through 6-10 more episodes OR even more only for everything to end, happy or sad.
 Golden Rainbow... everyone was happy, someone was um how can I not spoil it...less mobile, but they were happy. I guess that is a spoiler, but when you take a Kdrama journey you already no you will be in for some twists and turns, one dead or five, love, loss, lost, amnesia, dementia, suicide, comas, etc etc etc etc....I mean there was one drama I watched and the dog died.
Anyway the point is... its a journey you take with the characters. The Golden Rainbow journey was just a long one. AND sometimes boring one, but I am glad I did it and finished it. 
My Kdrama excitement isn't there like it use to be. Maybe because I am in my own Kdrama, by the way of a long distance relationship with a Korean Man. (Korean by the way of Baltimore, Maryland LOL.) That happens as you grow and gain some things, a job, a relationship, friends, etc... you sometimes don't rely on the things that use to help you deal with the lack of thereof.... 
Korean Drama definitely came into my life when I was lacking in a more social life. I was working on my master's and could only see that in my future. Kdrama became my social life as I could live through the characters. What really made me happy about K-Drama is that it showed me a culture I had never experienced or maybe its not the best reflections of Korea BUT it took me away.
Flower Boy Ramen Shop made me laugh. Boys Over Flowers made me wish for a man to love me as deep a Goo Joon Pyo loved Jandi. It taught me to always watch my back and have evidence just in case that evil vile woman or man had it in for me who ever they are.... It took me to the Joseon Era, It made me cry when  Cheon Song Yi proposed to Do Min Joon, It made me cry when... a lot of times actually.... SMH.... I wanted to get through Golden Rainbow hoping that by finishing it I could move on to another drama that would give me feelz, but honestly I just feel overwhelmed to watch more and unfortunately I don't have the hours to sit and watch them like before. 
I was only able to binge watch Golden Rainbow because of a snow day.  Now I will not give up Drama I just need to learn how to watch it differently. When Kim Hyun Joong's drama came out, Age of Feelings, I was watching as the videos were available, which were Wednesday and Thursday. I need to get back to doing something like, every night have Drama time.  I will watch two episodes and stop. Wow I really am addicted. LOL!!! Golden Rainbow did have an impact on me... It made me look at how i need to start a new drama habit, and that i am getting old and should take care of myself, too bad i learned this in episode 41. Another thing i needed to remember is that all the drama will not be like Boys Over Flowers.... As much as I really wish they would be... OMG those rich boys took Jandi EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Well Let's see where the next one takes me... The weekend is not over yet and I am still snowed in so what's up with that drama, "High End Crush" I think that is what it is called... I think us Drama heads are getting lucky because S.Korea is starting to go into web series that are shorter than the normal drama.... Until next time....  

Golden Rainbow...never again

Seriously I can't... I was supposed to finish this drama like last year and it has blocked me from starting other dramas. Never again will I ever watch a drama this long again... 41 episodes.... But that is not the only problem... toooooooooooooo much deceit it is killing me with the evil in it. I mean I feel like the "father" in this one is worst than Goo Joon Pyo's mom.... See Jin Ki I believe is his character's name.  In real- life his name is Jo Min Gi. I swear to goodness this he is killing me through the last 10 episodes of this drama. I am really trying to get through this mess tho. I love Jung Il Woo who plays Young Do, but this drama taught me that I can't watch a drama based on who is in it.       
I will get through it. I WILL!!!!!! I WILL!!!!!!!!! Only my love for Jung Il Woo will help me through it LOL!!!!! And then maybe I will finish Emergency Couple TOO!!!... I also want to finish to get to this one drama called... High In Crush, staring Jung Il Woo LOL!!!!!! HWAITING! 


SORRY Golden Rainbow fans/Jung Il Woo Fans....
