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....

If you want to watch the full show then here it is......

A Love to Kill (2005) A Complete summary (SPOILERS)

I just finished watching A Love to Kill starring Rain and Shin Min Ah and all I can say is  AISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A drama about revenge and love. Actress, Cha Eun Seok (Shin Min Ah) is distraught after breaking up from her boyfriend. CEO Kim Joon Sung (Lee Ki Woo) and Cha Eun Seok find themselves in a bad disposition due to Eun Seok's drinking. Meanwhile fighter Kang Bokgu (Rain) and his "girlfriend" Han Da Jeong (Kim Sang Ra)  was bullying people into paying money owed to her. The link to each other was Kang Mingu (Kim Young-jae). Kang Mingu was Kang Bokgu's brother, and Cha Eun Seok's ex-boyfriend. They all meet when just after Bokgu and Mingu are reunited, whether it's an accident on the brother's part or purposely Mingu jumps from the roof of the build in which he lives after seeing the announcement of Eun Seok and Joon Sung's engagement (which was Kim Joon Sung's idea of fixing the situation they were in because of her drunkardness). Bokgu blames Eun Seok and develops his plan to destroy her, so when a job comes up to become Cha Eun Seok's bodyguard he gets it in order to become close to her. Eun Seok ends up falling in love with Bokgu and he falls in love with her as well. Which makes Kim Joon Sung pull all kinds of stunts that only rich people can pull (send people to lock up the mom, sue the family, etc). It's when Eun Seok decides to run away with Bokgu who then says it was all a game and he never really loved her. Its revealed that Mingu is Bokgu's

brother. From there things just get kind of jumbled as they have to close the storyline. At this point I feel like they dragged the story along. And I have forgotten to mention the fact the Da Jeong was JEALOUS as hell because of he insecurities with herself. BACKSTORY Da Jeong saved Bokgu after a fight and a fire set out. She was burned in the process and as we know in South Korea, looks are a big deal blemishes are not cool! This was basically the reason Bokgu was with her as he pitied her as they say numerous times during the drama. When she found out the Bokgu was Eun Seok's bodyguard she was so jealous. Bokgu assures her its for a reason and he would be back to her soon. This is when he breaks Eun Heart, and send Eun Seok down spiraling into craziness. Bokgu also begins to spiral. In an effort to get her out of his life (as he was in love but didn't want to be) he "moved" his brother (he had him moved to another room) and made it so that Eun Seok couldn't see Mingu. What was sad was that she felt bad about Mingu because she had loved him and made promises to him, but was also in love with Bokgu. A Year passes, of course as fate would have it Bokgu and Eun Seok meet again. He lies and says the brother died, but of course come to find out the brother is with him alive but disabled. Eun Seok takes Mingu and begins carrying for him, but then he starts doing things like slapping tea out of her hands and other things that cause her alot of physical pain. Come to find out what he wants is for Bokgu and Eun Seok to be together he expesses this when he is hospitalized again. His last wish
for Bokgu was for him to take care of Eun Seok. He dies and then things REALLY spiral out of control for Bokgu and Eun Seok. He stops eating, picks a fight with anyone for any little thing and drinks heavily. Eun Seok eats and eats and eats until she's on the verge of vomiting. This is when Da Jeong sees that Bokgu isn't hers and that Eun Seok can help AND Kim Joon Sung sees that Eun Seok isn't his and Bokgu can help her. Bokgu and Eun Seok conclude that they can't really be together but decide to spend a day together doing whatever they want all day. They promised to live life to the fullest. After that day they did just that and lived. Everything seemed cool until Kim Joon Sung went to see Bokgu saying that he had hoped to find Eun Seok with him and that she had been missing for 3 days. Bokgu goes looking for her where they had spent their day together. BTW this is going on during the winter. After looking as its going into the night he finally finds her asleep on the ground. She is freezing and has basically lost most of her body heat. He tries to carry her, but has lost most of his energy and sits to hold her hoping his body heat will warm her only he freezes too... they freeze together in each others arms.

THE END!

The reason I summarized it this way is because this drama had me going crazy. I love happy ending and that is what I was waiting for. I wanted Bokgu and Eun Seok to be together. I never expected them to die in the end, which was the only time I shed a tear. The drama made me furious as fas as the storyline goes, only because I am always hoping for a happy ending. I had NEVER seen Lee Ki Woo as such a character. I mean he was the second male lead. I saw him as the second male lead in Flowerboy Ramen Shop, but he wasn't despicable. Rain was amazing. He's looks rather gruffy throughout BUT he is so sexy.

His mannerism. He would bite his bottom lip and let it bounce back out and there was one kiss with Shin Min Ah that I sweat I FELT! LOL!!! Shin Min Ah, she is also incredible. I enjoy the acting of all the actors and actresses BUT the ending upset me so much I almost wanted to give K-Drama's up. Unfortunately I am addicted and I'll just watch a romance comedy next time.

Overwhelmed in Drama

I want to watch KDrama and write more blogs but...I am sooooooo OVERWHELMED!

 Watching Kdrama requires time and attention. First of all even in all my attempts to learn Korean I still can't watch Kdrama without subtitles, which means when I watch Kdrama I sit down and watch. I have to try and make sure I am reading and watching the actors. So unlike other shows that I can put on and listen too while I wash dishes, Kdrama has to receive my full attention. AND you can't have a Kdrama without a Marathon....

 

I can't have a KDrama marathon in my life right now. I stayed up late on the phone one night and it felt like my body made up for it for like 3 days. Previously I have marathoned,  I marathoned my first drama "flower boy ramen shop", I marathoned "moon embracing the sun" and "Answer Me 1997" but I made Kdrama a family affair, so my mom and I have marathoned kdrama and my brother and I marathoned once...(YES my namdongsaeng). Some how my brother really got into School 2013 and my mom and I had the time of our lives watching "City Hunter." 

Only problem is now I feel guilty if I watch a drama without my mom. LOL! Even though I have started one without her recently AND I went ahead and watched more of a Drama while she slept. LOL!!!  Recently though its not just my guilt that keeps me from KDrama its the overwhelming amount of dramas to watch. For instance I want to watch Emergency Couple, Two Weeks, Doctor Strange, Secret Love Affair, etc... but the dramas don't stop coming out and worst...there are 4 drama's I have started and need to finish. I started: Lee Min Ho's Faith (The Good Doctor, with my mom) Golden Rainbow (Also with my mom), I am Sam (I am teacher) and My Princess. AND I am invested into these dramas so there is no, oh I just give up. ANIO!!! I have to finish them. I also want to write blogs....For instance I finished  You Who Came from the Stars (My love from the stars)  and I want to blog about that one... YOU ARE MY DESTINY!!!! LMAO only fans of that show get that.... I want to finish the Lee Min Ho Collection, which for me are the dramas, I am Sam (very small role for him) Faith, and Personal Taste. I guess Unstoppable High Kick is also on the list but not just for him, Jung Il Woo, and Kim Bum were also apart of that drama. In the meantime I have been watching KMovies, because they have been easier to watch than the dramas. 118 minutes is a lot easier than 118 minutes per 16 episodes. I don't know what to do.... so with being overwhelmed I just don't watch any.... I gotta get it together!
