I am Sam...High School Drama...

A few weeks ago I was able to finish the high school drama I am Sam. I started this drama like two years ago. I am not sure how I got through it, because it was long and dry at times. The reason why I continued to watch it was I needed to see it till the end. The over all theme of this program left me needing the end. Basically we have a grown man who is a teacher somehow became entangled in this bratty high schoolers life.  She develops a crush on him and that is pretty normal for young girls to crush on male teachers. BUT it seemed like he crushed on her back. Now I don't have issues with Oppa/Dongsaeng relationships but this went too far for me as in this situation he was a teacher and she was a student.  The WHOLE time it is mentioned here and there how bad it looks or would look and they try to appear to not like each other, but they do. 

Now I understand true love and I am all for it, but teacher student relationships in America is forbidden. I know what you are saying, but what about the Teacher student relationship in Flower Boy Ramen Shop? There is a difference... The female lead ended up quitting her job as a teacher and since the male lead was 19...he was able to consent. Now in I am Sam I don't actually remember the age of the female lead BUT I can assume she was at least 18 but it still made me uncomfortable. Now there wasn't any "skinship" really, but it was weird that the second male lead played by, T.O.P. never got further with her instead, the show ends with the teacher and the student after like four years had passed, still being much like they were before. It was weird, but I guess 4 years later its ok.... I don't know.  I recommend this drama if you are a Lee Min Ho fan and want to see his earlier work, or if you are into high school drama's. I mean I did enjoy watching the plight of this teacher. It's not a horrible drama and it is FUNNY! So give it a chance if you are bored looking for a throw back. 

PS: I also liked some of the gangster aspects....

2pm and where my time goes....I will get back to Kdrama!!!

Kdramas have been hard to get into as of recent, I think the last one that I watched that was "new" was That's Ok It's Love and the sad thing is that was from a year ago. During this year's summer school I introduced my students to Pororo.
What a show! Its hilarious to see adults laugh at a blue penguin.








As far a new drama...a co-worker told me to check out Good Doctor and the hilarious thing about her suggestion is I kind of got her into the whole Kdrama thing. I pulled her in. HAHAHA my Korean "obsession" has stayed intact, because.... 





I have fallen hard for a kpop boy band called 2PM. 




This started last summer. I made a mix tape of my favorite kpop songs. One of the songs was ADTOY by 2pm. There was point where that was the only song I really wanted to hear. I watched the video and there was this one that stood out to me.... Jun. K... #yassssssssss!  
He is too Hot... which is why I am a HOTTEST!!! 

 And now I literally spend the last hour of my night looking at videos of 2pm or Jun. K, because I have missed 7 years of their activities. Like they have a show where they would literally just do mini challenges with each other.

 I really would love to get back into kdrama and I will. I have to finish some that I started... Like... 
I'm on episode 8 of 21
I have no idea... of 24
I am on 7 of 16
I am on 12 of 41

And I would love to watch:
She Was Pretty!!!

Personal Taste!!

The Night Watchmen!!
Cross your fingers that I will get back on track with drama...In the mean time I am waiting on a package from yesasia with 2pm's Higher and sometime in November I will get Jun. K's Love Letter.

K-Drama Seoul is back!!!!

Yeah I have been gone for a while now...probably since May, but I am back. I have kind of been away from K-Drama AND I miss it!!! A lot!!! The hustle and bustle of first year teacherdom turned out to be pretty crazy!! BUT I think I have it under control now... which means...I am ready to try to get back into the KDRAMA!!!! BUT I have no idea where to go... I haven't finished the Lee Min Ho collection I was working the old drama, I Am Sam, and I started Faith a while ago...Also I haven't seen Personal Taste yet, BUT I am thinking I want to see a new drama. Now Rain was in a drama recently called My Lovely Girl and although he is a fine specimen to look at I am not a fan of Krystal Jung. She did not move me in The Heirs. I feel like I have been away from drama. I have watched a few movies but I really want to take some of my Christmas break and just watch drama all day and all night long... So what should I watch Kdrama addicts! Please help me out!!! Comment and let me know what is the best drama I should marathon!
