wandering thoughts...my K-World

Finally I was able to write something about the ending of the drama. mslee1107

#justbetweenlovers After watching this week's episodes I can say that this drama is promising. It is one of those dramas that shows emotional struggles and as an outsider (viewer) you keep watching to know more. Junho and Won Jin A are both good in portraying their characters. Their chemistry is also nice. If you have watched Secret (Love) you will get the same vibe in this drama. Four characters 👉perhaps getting tangled in romance. Like she loves him👉he likes her👉she loves another guy👉👈he loves her back.😛 Right now I can't wait for episodes 3&4 already. The romance part between lead characters is slowly getting interesting. 😻 Two souls who experienced the same tragedy. Two souls who are still trying to move forward from painful and scary memories. The emotional scars they got from the past changed them. Will they ever heal from the trauma? -mslee1107-

#black final thoughts... I think the drama left a mixed impression on viewers as a whole. Some like it very much while I can't exactly figure out if the story as a whole is something worth watching again. I have already wrote that the storyline was kind of messy and there are lots of twists that I think is unecessary. There were too many incidents that happened surrounding the backstory of the main leads. Two main events in the past were used as the center point of the story while a grim reaper happened to enter a human body to look for his runaway partner. The story was a tough one to follow from the beginning until some revelations tied up loose ends. Still..most of the twists were random as the romance between Black and Ha Ram blossomed. Anyway...it was later revealed that Joon was 444 who entered Moo Gang's body where his heart now resides. Yes..the mother was the one who killed Joon in order to save Moo Gang. In the end there is no Moo Gang ( he died when he was shot at ...

Finally done watching Temperature of Love.💕 From the same writer of High Society and Doctors of which I both watched.. (Adding Can We Get Married) I think this drama is not far off from her previous works. She tackled mostly on the emotional struggles of the main leads and gives enough justification for antagonist / second leads to be somehow understood by viewers. Although the writer goes on to show how far the second leads or antagonist can go as far as making situations intriguingly frustrating, yet in the end she wants a happy ending for all characters and reconcillations are possible for all. Temperature of Love has given viewers all the romantic feels everyone longs for in a relationship. Jung Sun is almost a perfect boyfriend and if Hyun Soo makes viewers disappointed and feels frustrating she still makes it okay as a girlfriend who despite difficult situations and wavering managed to make it through and be firm in love. I think her mistake in letting him go once w...

How did I end up suffering the pains and insecurities of Jung Sun the way he feels them? Writernim and Pdnim must be doing their job and seriously letting viewers root for the protagonist while showing his emotional traumas and weaknesses. It has been a couple of weeks since I felt that the drama was slipping from the expectation I had after watching from episode 1 up to the romance part where it all feels beautiful. When they decide to go deeper to what the CEO feels towards Hyun Soo and made his character a little bit disappointing I started to lose interest in watching the subbed version right after it was shared the next day. I let time passes by and just take my time until when it will be convenient to watch the next episode. I feel that CEO Park has been disrespectful of the relationship between Jung Sun and Hyun Soo when he continues to pursue his own feelings in a selfish way. The moment he cannot figure out what matters most between friendship and business or how they started...

I have been rooting for Ho Rang all along for her ultimate dream to marry her one true love Won Seok. Perhaps others would think that she is petty to have such dreams as a woman in this modern day. Yes, there is more to life than being a wife. One can always choose careers over being a wife and explore the world as a single successful working woman without being tied down by domestic chores and children. But then, let us be honest for a minute. As a woman myself, I have always dreamed of having a perfect life with a perfect husband and beautiful children in a home I dreamed of at one point in my life. Perfect in the sense that everything will fall into place and nothing will ruin my idea of a family. Not that everything will be that kind of perfect but at least I have a picture of what I want when I marry. So this is why I always understand Ho Rang and her frustration to marry. She and Won Seok has been in a relationship for 7 years and to say that marriage is the only thing left to b...

Mad Dog is one of the current k drama that is really a must watch. It is about insurance fraud that takes place between an agent and a buyer. A big insurance company pays the beneficiaries. I won't say that I truly understand how it works but I do know that when a person is insured, when he dies, money will be paid off to whoever is written in the contract as the beneficiary. I have always thought that suicide won't be payable but it seems that there are some instances that it is also acceptable. Well the story is about a team called Mad Dog who investigates insurance fraud. They go after those people who are benefiting from the payouts of the insurance company that seemed anomalous or that death of the insured ones are questionable. Because there really are those scammers that killed purposely and made it looked like an accidental death and then claimed the amount insured.  Choi Kang Woo used to work in an insurance company but after the death of his wife and ...

If you asked me before about this drama I would have probably answered, “typical rom\com\co habiting theme that is kdrama”. I have been shown the fast pace introduction of the story, how the lead pair had met and turned their tenant-landlord relationship to the next level which is contractual marriage. But one thing the drama did not prepare me was how the writer has given much thought to show the detailed emotions of the people involved in the lives of our lead characters. I mean this was a drama that has been promoted as a light story with romance and comedy surrounding the theme of the plot. I am familiar with such storylines and I am not anticipating that there will be scenes that my heart will squeeze with understanding the levels of emotions how marriage impacts parents. Episode 5 is a very nice heartwarming story and shows what every parent undergoes when his\her child took that step towards marriage. Se Hee and Ji Ho have been trying to be practical financially about not ha...

I think this season dramas are pouring in too much that viewers just  have enough room to breathe in between dramas. Like weekdays are full with interesting new stories and even weekends we are treated to new dramas from cable channels like OCN, JTBC and tvN. Then there are still the on going family dramas that we have started to watch when family gatherings at weekend ends. Seriously...kdrama are everywhere and seems to be writers are all in a competition. The best ratings will snatch the win for stories who got more viewers. Let us start with Monday and Tuesday slot in primetime KST. I am currently watching Temperature of Love with Seo Hyun Jin and Yang Se Jong. Alright let's throw in Kim Jae Wook's name in the list and I have a packed drama with good actors and romantic story with burning chemistry of the leads. The story has reached it's cliffhanging peak last week with both Hyun Jin and Se Jong in a sweet and oh-so-blushing moment kisses that really burns the screens...

Episode 4 is basically dealing with the reality that both our leads have decided to agree on a contractual marriage and the consequences of their agreement. It is not just an agreement between the two of them. Yes, they thought of ways to feel comfortable living. Se Hee needs a roommate and now a wife to satisfy his parents desire for him to marry. Ji Ho needs a place to settle in where she will be comfortable and away from home. Hearing Se Hee needs her (well not romantically) still those words had an effect on her self esteem. It could be businesslike in nature but still for the first time she is needed. If they think it will be as easy as walking at the park then they thought wrong. I mean.. They have families they have to inform.not necessarily ask permission because they are of age. And she comes from a strict family. Her father is not easy to please. They have to plan so everything will be smooth. But of course the moment of truth sometimes is not easy to handle. Se Hee ...

The drama is slow paced but I am not bored watching it.  Background stories of the characters begins to unfold in this episode. The office related works for Ma Ru and his relationship with his girlfriend. Finally he realized where her loyalty is with. Lee Yeon Hee continues to hide from her former husband. I really wonder what happened and why he still looks for her? Did she do something in which he paid for like being in prison?  Towards the ending of the episode it's funny how Yong Hwa's character hid the fact that he knew LYH.  Coming episodes will be intriguing... Will write more about this drama. screen caps below... -mslee1107-
