I'ved moved my site to dramadreamland.wordpress.com
I watch tons of tv shows-korean, japanese, taiwanese, hong kong, chinese, american but I focus mostly on korean tv shows only because I don't have enough time. This blog will review tv shows and can give you suggestions on what shows to watch and what to skip. I will also list new tv shows that I am interested in watching. Come and share your drama comments with me. Happy watching :)vanilladreamcreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08053485687246653914noreply@blogger.comBlogger14125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341280432567398094.post-33897578343757472232016-06-03T12:49:00.002-07:002016-06-03T12:49:31.841-07:00I've switched to wordpress nowI was checking my emails today and found multiple replies to a post I wrote a long time ago.

Synopsis: from wiki addicts <span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Luo Qing Chuan is a modern day girl with a love of history who accidentally travels back in time to Emperor Kang Xi's era of the Qing dynasty. She becomes embroiled in the princes' struggle for the throne and is torn between her love for Yin Si, the eighth prince, and Yin Zhen, the fourth prince and future Emperor Yong Zheng. Caught in the crossfire of political intrigue, her wit and historical knowledge serves her well in her bid to stay alive as she begins to realize that true history is much darker and uglier than books portray.</span><br />

I tend to avoid chinese dramas due to the annoying dubbing that I hated. However ever since I watched Scarlet Heart I have learned to endure with it. Recently I watched Sound of Desert which I believe is a chinese drama and was addicted to it so would definitely recommend it. I am currently in the state where I am hungry for some romantic chinese dramas. So came across this one under romance label in viki. It already has the 3rd season currently filming which shows this is definitely popular. I mean Scarlet Heart which I adored only had a second season. It's plot sounds similar to Scarlet Heart so let's see if this will be good.<br />
<br />
Those that have watched it please let me know how it compares to Scarlet Heart.vanilladreamcreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08053485687246653914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341280432567398094.post-58807609013292219172014-12-25T21:27:00.001-08:002014-12-25T21:27:32.349-08:00Best TimeBest Time<br />

Su Mann, a white collar, backbone, elite but ‘leftover’, screwed up every arranged blind date until she met her prince charming--Song Yi--since her high school days. To pursue her love, Su Mann followed Song Yi to join the MG Company with a fake resume fabricated by her best girlfriend</span><br />

Sunny Happiness and fell in love with her. Then I followed her for Ring Ring Bell and loved it also. Viki was promoting Le Chun Kai at that time and I couldn't stop watching it and most recently You Light Up My Star. Everything that she was in I loved. So I think this one would just be a good. Apparently this is adapted from the novel written by tong hua which is the same writer who wrote scarlet heart which I watched even during my finals.</div>

<span style="line-height: 20px;">What caught my eyes was Hawick Lau. Haven't seen him since virtues of harmony that I watched when I was in my single digits. He looks just as suave. This seems interesting because her onscreen romance is also his actual wife. The plot also seems interesting. A female lead has a revenge while male leads helps her achieve her goal while falling in love.</span><br />

A father’s tragic death, two sons seeking revenge on their father’s killer, a ruthless businessman, a scorned woman, two babies who are switched at birth – fate shatters the foundations of two opposing families when they discover that they intersect in a shocking way. Lee Dong Chul (Song Seung Heon), who witnessed his father’s tragic death in a coal mining accident, and his younger brother, Dong Wook (Yun Jung Hoon), have spent their lives seeking revenge on Shin Tae Hwan (Jo Min Ki), the managing director of the coal mining company Taesung Group that they believe was responsible for the tragedy. Although Dong Chul works his way up the Asian mafia and Dong Wook becomes a prosecutor, the brothers remain extremely close and share the singular goal of bringing down Tae Hwan and attacking his business ventures. But their worldview is irrevocably destroyed when they discover that Dong Wook was switched at birth and he is actually Tae Hwan’s son. Can Dong Wook continue to prosecute his real father, and how can Dong Chul feel the same way toward the man he thought was his younger brother but is really the son of his enemy? “East of Eden” is a 2008 South Korean drama series directed by So Won Young. It won the Grand Prize and numerous other acting awards at the 2008 MBC Drama Awards.</div>

This aired in 2008. What drew to me is obvious the star studded cast. Usually in viki the cast images would only be 1 or 2 characters. But for this show there were endless cast images. And it won like endless awards. So I definitely think this is a must watch</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Two strangers, who never had much luck in the love arena, found themselves betrothed by their families. Figuring they will never find true love, they agreed to the arranged marriage. They bickered throughout their marriage. But bickering slowly gave way to genuine fondness for one another. In the end, the couple discovered that true love is not to be found but has to be cultivated.</span><br />

However warfare destroyed her family forcing her to flee and live once again roaming with the wolves in the desert.

There she encounters the harsh truth of the city and is determined to adapt to city life. Along her journey, she is helped out by a calm and kindhearted Mo Xun and an audacious General Wei Wuji, both of which she met in the desert. She falls in love with one of them but was rejected. How will she deal with the rejection and who will she choose in the end?<br />
<br />
Review: 10/10 This is really just all about romance-which I love. There isn't much on imperial fighting until about episode 28 if your the type that likes watching schemes and plotting. If you don't like romance I would say to skip it. I read the plot from viki and it sounded interested. I watched scarlet heart and became a big fan of Liu Shi Shi and was excited to see another production of Liu Shi Shi. Eddie Peng and Hu Ge are people that I've heard of before but I have never watched anything they were in before. However I am more surprised at other A-list that I know of-Maggie Cheung and Fala Chen that were from TVB. So I am excited to see what this has to offer.<br />
<br />
I rate this 10/10 because it hit all the right spots for romance that I crave right now and considering how I finished the entire drama in 4 days. A large part of the high rating comes from being a fan Liu shi shi and Eddie Peng's gaze. However I have to say everyone played their role well. I was truly impressed with Eddie Peng's acting. Some people were saying not to draw comparisons between Liu Shi Shi role in scarlet heart however at some parts I was almost confused about the difference between the two characters and kept on making comparisons unknowingly. The two characters and plots were both very similar and Liu Shi Shi plays them exactly alike so it was difficult to not compare.<br />
<br />
They have this in viki but I watched it off youtube from a uploader called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7wD2CBbj7Wm3cymL2Dpua7HrNRWRYNe1&spfreload=10" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mj01991</a>. The video quality is ultraHD and I highly recommend to watch off of that. However they only have english sub up to ep 28. I watched the rest with my minimal chinese character and mandarin knowledge. I think they are still in the process of subbing it.<br />

<br />
sidenote: my mother didn't even bother to watch another episode after the first episode because first of all this is in mandarin and she doesn't like to look at subtitles and two because she felt Liu Shi Shi wasn't as pretty compared to when she filmed scarlet heart. I read some comments that said the same. They felt that Liu Shi Shi and Hu Ge looked a bit tired. I felt she was the same as in scarlet heart and didn't catch on to any tiredness. I felt that Hu Ge only liked tired because his character was supposed to be melancholy and sickly all the time. One of the reason why I continued to watch after episode one is cause I felt the costumes were all nicely done and the scenes were so pretty. My sister who doesn't usually watch asian dramas asked me what the plot was because she couldn't figure it out after watching episode one.<br />

Eddie Peng plays Wei Wuji. He is a hotheaded arrogant general that does not care about titles nor power. Although he is cold and rude to other people he shows his sincerity to Xin Yue who he falls for, protecting her yet teasing her whenever he can. The king favors him due to his superiority in archery, swordsmanship and mastermind in military tactics that is unmatched by any other person which contributes to his haughtiness. He is part of the royal family-his aunt is Empress Wan, his uncle is a general Wan whom care for him like a father and married to his uncle is Eldest Princess. Deep in his heart he feels an emptiness since his father left his mother once she was pregnant.<br />

<br />
the rest I don't know but wondering if anyone know who they are. I feel that I will see them in the future.<br />
The first guy (I have seen him in scarlet heart -was delighted to see him again) plays chen yen guang.<br />
Second guy looks like a new rising star plays li cheng<br />
Third girl looks like Jessica C but I don't know if its her<br />
Fourth girl plays Mao Yun Zhu<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have heard of Hu Ge and Eddie Peng many times but I have yet to see any works from them. Before there was a collaboration of Eddie Peng and Ethan Ruan but I wasn't a big fan of ethan and eddie just looked to cocky in there so didn't decide to watch it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I discovered hot actor Eddie Peng. The drama will forever change my views of Eddie Peng. I can even declare he is my most favorite male artist right now. He looks a lot more captivating when he is acting compared to in pictures. Because of playing the character of a General his gaze has this determination which is very manly that I fell head over heels for him. In the first scene, I didn't really like him that much. Just another pretty boy with a nice role. But the determination and life he infuses into his character is so alluring. I watched the NGs and interview for the drama and his normal face is just all cute and smiley, but when portraying his role he is able to bring out the arrogant, confident, prideful, audacious felling that is part of the character. You get this strong charismatic gaze from his eyes- like light is shining from his eyes and when he is fighting fire is spitting from his eyes. He gives General Wei a strong confident charming character that I don't think anyone else could exceed. Usually when people portray an arrogant character, the person also becomes hateful but he is able to balance the arrogance with his gaze and cute face makes the person charming.<br />

<br />
I have to say again everyone's acting was astounding. And it deserves a watch unless you prefer a drama with more of a plot and less romance.<br />

I like the chorus from "white hair ballad" aka Bai Tou Yin by Della Ding.<br />
Hu Ge also sings a song for this drama but that song didn't get me entranced<br />

My favorite scene is ep 16 where Xiao Yue is in the midst of bathing and Wuji burst into her room and wouldn't leave while she is completely naked. He then abducts her and takes her with him back to where his army is stationed. While on horseback Xiao Yue is calling him names, and he goes yes Im here. Loved that part.<br />

other parts that i really liked were:<br />
<br />
the fight scene in the beginning. You can feel Wuji's protectiveness and fearlessness<br />

this is where we first see instances of her past that she wants to hide from. It was such a cute moment that they were hugging together and wuji reassuring her that he is here and there is nothing to be afraid of.<br />

Our main lead Liu Shi Shi has oh so many different outfits. I thought they all looked pretty. I liked the blue one with the head veil the most.<br />

My comments while watching the drama. These are thoughts, frustrations and questions I had while watching the drama<br />
<br />
ep 1 Did anyone notice the wire at about 4:33<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1eRmTEBOuEi-2JRibSlShM9oyHIMTnUePdInDqhvEHqnJ4hHy2gWYov-beNkVs7HWnX5hWoEhVAjqGQ3v9nTDVxoSEX3Ggw8X1P-rK9NfuvPz23zqMYKv4K5jmW3ZMgawPTIxKfCZT1w/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-12-21+at+3.38.35+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1eRmTEBOuEi-2JRibSlShM9oyHIMTnUePdInDqhvEHqnJ4hHy2gWYov-beNkVs7HWnX5hWoEhVAjqGQ3v9nTDVxoSEX3Ggw8X1P-rK9NfuvPz23zqMYKv4K5jmW3ZMgawPTIxKfCZT1w/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-12-21+at+3.38.35+AM.png" height="200" width="320" /></a>ep 10 is the scene where Xiao Yue gazes at the lit room of Jiu Ye while WuJi also silently watches Xiao Yue. Even though he know Xiao Yue loves Jiu Ye he doesn't leave her.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ep 16 is my favorite bathroom peep scene. The whole episode was pretty enjoyable for me.<br />
<br />
they were officially together after ep 18. Through that time I kept on feeling she doesn't really like him. I kept getting the feeling that she will later leave general wei and get back with jiu ye. Even after she said she would marry general wei, i felt like she only did that because she felt that she didn't belong anywhere anymore since his wolf brother also has a family and wanted to belong somewhere.<br />
<br />
ep 19 I always felt that wei wu ji was the second male lead that never gets the main girl. I always felt that he was going to die or something bad was going to happen to him so when he lost the fight with the other kingdom's king, I totally thought they were going to kill off wei wu ji's character in this episode. And then everytime he went to war, I felt that something bad was going to happen to him or that he would lose in war and then lose confidence and his relationship with xiao xue would turn sour.<br />
<br />
We also keep seeing jiu ye regret and keep trying to get back xiao wei but it was pretty annoying to me. When she basically proposed to him, he decided to push her away, even after a final notice he decided to decline. She left and only after that does he regret.<br />
<br />
ep 20 I thought it was cute that both of them snuck into each other's houses. General Wei was disappointed when he couldn't find her in her own room and thought she had lingering feeling for jiu ye and went to jiu ye's house. I thought there was going to be a misunderstanding.<br />
<br />
ep 22 when wei wu ji finds out that he isn't able to marry xiao yue b/c the king want him to marry a princess, i was like no. this is just the same as scarlet heart. the king is the main problem in all dramas.<br />
<br />
ep 23 i was terribly afraid their marriage would break apart. I also didn't understand why he had to bite her. anger? to leave a mark? punishment? I conclude that biting could mean leaving a mark claiming the person is yours. wu ji was angry and felt that xiao yue marked jiu yue so he decided to leave a mark on xiao yue claiming that xiao yue is his women.<br />
<br />
ep 25 First he has endured many wound but is at the brink of death just by just falling off a horse then suddenly he's as healthy as a tiger. seriously @_@ please make it more believable<br />
<br />
ep 26 I totally thought their marriage was over. She missed her timing and general wei hit the breaking point. However, so glad they made up. and of course the hot scene<br />
<br />
ep 28 I started to like back jiu ye after seeing how much he would risk for xiao yue<br />
<br />
ep 29 I didn't think think that empress was a manipulative person but after this episode she started to show her true colors.<br />
<br />
ep 33: so many different thoughts in this ep<br />
<br />
I had not expected li qi to die. Why do all the good guys have to die. I wanted him to work together with general wei and be good brothers. I even had the wishful thinking of having general wei and xiao yue help li qi and qin xiang leave palace so they could live happily ever after. Then after li qi was killed the first thing I thought of was madam qiang will never let go of her revenge.<br />
<br />
At first I didn't understand why general wei would not say he was set up in a trap but later figured out that if he said something, that would expose that his aunt had set up that trap so that they could destroy the Li family.<br />
<br />
<br />
ep 34 I actually thought that madam qin xiang decided to let go of everything and live in peace because she decided to send her son away so he wouldn't be in the fight for power. But then later on you see she still has hatred and is scheming to kill both general wei and the wan family.<br />
<br />
using other's pity to kill someone. I can't believe his cousin tried to kill wuji that way. General wei went to save him yet his nephew lured him there to kill him instead.<br />
<br />
ep 35 end-I couldn't believe I was on the last episode. I like that it was a happy ending but it was so sad for Jiu Ye. He lost both legs and ended up wandering in the desert. However I felt that this is the definition of love. True love needs no repayment. As long as the person you love is happy you are happy. Although lots of dramas try to display this concept this is the only drama that shows this concept well.<br />

Synopsis: <span style="background-color: #f4f5f5; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">A man adopts seven orphans, among them the baby daughter of his first love. Although Kim Han Joo (Kim Sang Joong) tries to return the child, Baek Won (Uee), to her mother, unforeseen circumstances prevent the reunion from happening. As the orphans grow up with a stronger bond than siblings, the closeness is threatened when Baek Won later discovers the truth of her birth and the role that her own grandmother and uncle played in it. Cheon Won (Cha Ye Ryun) will do anything to get out of poverty and she becomes extremely jealous of Baek Won because Man Won (Lee Jae Yoon) showers her with affection. Can the pseudo-siblings discover the true meaning of family? “Golden Rainbow” is a 2013 South Korean drama series directed by Kang Dae Sun.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
I have always wanted to watch a drama with Uee inside since i've heard she acted very well. Really wanted to watch a romantic drama and found the synopsis on viki which made it sound appealing. I am putting this on my list to watch.<br />
<br />
Has anyone watched it yet? Like or dislike?<br />
<br />
ep 5<br />
<br />
the old woman. She knew the company were illegally using a boat trawl yet she accuses others of being a gangster. Wicked witch. even worse she doesn't follow with her deal. after getting the evidence she breaks her promise and doesn't free the father. I'm glad her company is going bankrupt. unscrupulous businessmen don't have trust in society. backstabbing. How can the old woman call that backstabbing, she was the one who broke her deal first.<br />
<br />
ep 11 how can that soninlaw be so selfish. the only thing Han Joo asked of him was to take care of his kids and in return he will take all the blame. However that soninlaw just decided to abandon all the kids. Truly heartless. That's why people would never be placed in prison. Once they are in prison they don't have power to negotiate anymore.<br />
<br />
ep 16 I feel the drama went downhill after they became adults. It was cute watching the kids but when they were grownups I just feel there were too much complications and nothing interesting going on.<br />
<br />
ep 19 I am so bored out of my mind. almost want to quit this drama right now.vanilladreamcreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08053485687246653914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341280432567398094.post-34002795614131896292014-12-17T21:36:00.002-08:002014-12-17T21:36:46.017-08:00Fall In LoveFall in Love aka <span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">一不小心爱上你</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">At the age of 12, Qin Qing, who grew up in a wealthy family, learned that she and another girl, Mi Li, who'd been brought up by a poor family, had actually been switched at birth. Their lives are then turned upside down when both families agree to switch the girls back to their rightful identities. Qin Qing and her former "brother" Qin Lang had always been very close. Even after 10 years of separation, neither was able to forget the other, and Qin Lang returns to find Qin Qing</span><br />

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">After watching a couple dramas with him (Let watch Meteor Shower, The Queen of SOP, and recently Boss and Me) I don't feel that he is exceptionally good especially his stoic face from Boss and Me but I liked him in the first two dramas but I do feel that I am more comfortable seeing him and wanted to see more dramas from him. This is one of the dramas that I found that seemed to interest me and when I get a chance, I could watch it. The plot is awfully similar to the korean drama Autumn's Tale which I was obsessed with.</span></span><br />

I will definitely miss all the members in season one however, all the new members seems so chill. The following are an overview of the new members and my impressions of them.<br />

Park Joon Hyung (G.O.D. ) (46) is part of the popular idol boy band back in the 90s. He looks so easy going and opens the show skateboarding. He is basically my father's age but he's still so cool. I liked that he was open and said he liked Roomate because there was no script because if there was he would be thinking to hard. He's the neighborhood brother that can become friends with anyone in seconds. Although this is also the first time he is meeting everyone, he knows how to break the ice by saying "yo", "what's up man" and high fiving. The image he is giving is similar to Shin Mama except he is even cooler. There is still that vibe from him that he is a superstar and needs respect.<br />

Jackson (GOT7) (21) I had no idea jackson was cantonese just like me. Amazed that he could speak three languages. He was showing off some dance moves and it was pretty cool. He happened to be in the same company as park Joon Hyung and were able to converse in english fluently so they connected immediatley. He seems to be the disruptive class clown. Jo Se Ho asked him to wash the dishes. He did it but complained when Park Joon Hyung came along. This is understandable since nobody wants to do any chores but again we see how different previous members are compared to the second season. I see that Ga Eun and Minwoo are always the one washing the dishes they never complained since they are timid but minwoo reached a breaking point and wanted to speak about it with Lee So Ra, and So Ra started got irritated. Since they brought someone with a different personality into the game, I'm curious as to how this plays out. I like how this show is real and highlights what could happen in daily life and it not just all scripted with everything being perfect.<br />

<br />
Bae Jong OK- veteran actress (50) This is the first time she is in a variety show. She is the oldest member and I get the feeling of a mother from her. She was a bit demanding like Lee So Ra asking others to help her with her luggage. However we do need an older member to be in charge and get things in order.<br />

<br />
Sunny (girls Generation) (25)-She's cute and talkative. She been in the entertainment business for a longtime ever since her debut. She is an experienced singer with variety experience. Back when she was in season 1 of invincible youth she was already the sunbae leading Tara's hyomin who just debuted at that time.<br />

<br />
<br />
Lee Guk Ju (comedian)(28)-She is just hilarious. She is not afraid to goof around and bring laughters to audience. With both Jo Se Ho and lee Guk Ju on board they will make the show a lot brighter.<br />

<br />
Ryohei Otani(actor) (34)-suave guy. He's a model turned actor that entered the korean entertainment through a Dunkin Donuts commercial. He's been in multiple tv dramas and blockbuster movies with the most recent being "Roaring Currents". He seemed to be a gentleman and is more reserved compared to the other new male members.<br />

<br />
Heo Youngji (kara) (28) she seems bright. Her trademark laugh is a wide open mouth. She doesn't seem like the type to care about her image too much which I like because she seem more natural. She is the newly added member of kara and the youngest member of the show. She was selected to be in kara from a televised competition sort of like american idol so she has variety skills. She's not squeamish seeing how she handles the octopus easily.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When the members first met in the beginning, seeing min woo left with park joon hyung and jackson, I realized that he's shy, just like me. Even when I am with classmates that I've known for the last four years, I seem to be unable to blend with them. No matter how easy going the other are, it's just difficult for me to socialize.<br />
<br />
I am still amazed whenever I see Lee Dong Wook wears casual clothes. Every single drama I saw him in he is a chaebol or rich man and he is dressed in dress shirt and in suit. Im so used to seeing him dress up so nicely that whenever I see in a T-shirt and a cap I realize that he is an actor. He is just playing a role and in his normal life he dresses just like all of us. This is what I like about variety shows. You get to see how a celebrity's personality and see how the person really is like in normal daily life instead of their role and image they play and keep when they are on stage or filming.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Room Pairing</h3>
<br />
Jong Ok and Sunny<br />
<br />
Ryohei and park joon hyung<br />
<br />
jackson and Seo Kang joon<br />
<br />
nana, lee Guk Ju, Young Gi<br />
<br />
Jo Se Ho, minwoo and lee dong wook-sidenote when dong wook found out he was in a room with minwoo, he didn't look too happy. I'm still bothered with season 1 of roomate where we saw a little footage of lee dong wook lecturing minwoo but the producers decided not to broadcast the conflicts. I really wanted to see what conflict they were going through and I wanted to learn how to live comfortably with other people too.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
cucumber- our cute beagle. I wish I had a dog like her. However someone needs to be in charge of her and potty train her.<br />
<br />
For the second season, everyone's bed are gone and are only left with the mattress<br />
<br />
The character of the new members are different than first seasons members. First seasons members tends to be more reserved and quiet. Second season people seem a whole lot more fun and can joke around. I'm excited for a new season of Roommate. I enjoyed the first season of Roommate and will definitely continue to watch the second season.<br />
<br />
How do you feel about Season 2 of Roommate?<br />
<br />

I randomly stumbled upon this drama after watching <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp1hIEebLFQ&spfreload=10" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">From my heart</a> mv by the first actor turned singer group </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 17px;">5URPRISE. After watching the first five minutes of the first episode, I liked it. I will put this on my to be watched list when I have a chance to watch it. The feeling I get from it is kinda like boys over flowers feeling but to be even more accurate it is more like Ouran High School Host Club if anyone has watched that. It is more of a school romance where kim so eun somehow gets involved with five pretty boys from school.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 17px;">side note: I am a big fan of kim so eun which may be a reason to why I want to watch this and I discovered Seo Kang Jun from Roommate. Right now I don't like him or dislike. He is a newbie in the business and is pretty hot in korea right now. I haven't watched any of his dramas yet but I think I will fall for him once I see his dramas.</span></div>

<br />
For those who don't know, We Got Married is a korean TV show that shows the interaction of two celebrities in a virtual marriage. Most of the couples do not know who their partners are and meet their partners on the first day of filming. The show follows the couple from their first day they meet up, gives them missions from time to time, sends them on a vacation, and finally announces them to break up.<br />
<br />
I started watching this show in the beginning of season 4 where the original couples were Julien Kang & Yoon Se-Ah, Hwang Kwanghee & Han Sun Hwa, Lee Joon & Oh Yeon-seo. But I have to say that Jung Joong Young & Jung Yoo Mi couple was the most interesting.<br />
<br />
This couple has been named the 4D couple, PokaGuri, and Jung Jung couple. They aren't the typical lovey dovey couple that we are used to seeing on WGM and if I was to describe it, they are more like the children that grew up together and the guy picks on the girl all the time. In the beginning when I was watching this, I didn't like the interaction between the two since it wasn't romantic enough. It felt like Yoo Mi was the mother nagging after her son and the Joong Young didn't care about the show. I felt that if my husband was like that, I would go insane. For example, when they had to complete the mission of buying goods to decorate their house, Joon Young scurries away at every chance he could to play video games and I could feel the exact fustration Yoo Mi was feeling. But as I continued to watch them, I liked how realistic their relationship is. Instead of watching the same old plot of a gentlemen pulling out chairs for the lady, planning a special event or, playing a romantic piano piece, their interactions were all unexpected, unique and has brought me lots of excitement while watching them. I slowly looked forward to this couple each time I watched we got married.<br />

<br />
<br />
In a real relationship, most couples won't have same preferences and are probably going to disagree on certain things. Jung Yoo Mi has an active vibrant personality that loves going out and doing lots of outdoor sports. Jung Joon Young on their other hand would rather staying up late playing video games. It is because they are so different that watching how they compromise with each other is what makes this relationship interesting. JJY is always using every bit of his brain to come out with plan to get himself out of doing something. He is a good at negotiating, at speaking, and at acting. He can convince you into thinking that stapler is white when in fact it is black in order to get out of doing something. Because he didn't want to wait for her to change into a wedding dress, he asks if it would be faster to change into a minidress and then chooses the minidress since its faster. In order to get out of running the marathon he has negotiated to teach her how to play the guitar in exchange for canceling the marathon, adding that he is only doing that so she woudn't get hurt when running the marathon. When that didn't work he would act tired or that he hurt his ankle to get out of training. They are constantly playing games to decide whether they would go through with an action or canceling it. When he loses in a game, he would say "I purposely let you win". When Yoo Mi fell down when racing, while applying medicine onto her wounds, he says "it is because of your greed that this happened". Even when singing a song, most couples would sing romantic song, his songs are comedic and gives you a different feel than songs that yoo han sings. It was amusing to watch this couple because in the same season, the yoo han and lee seo eon couple were such lovey dovey characters and it was nice to see how drastically differently the two couple were.<br />

<br />
It's annoying yet amusing to see how joon young teases yoo mi all the time. He says there is a surprise behind the door and because this is a romantic dating show you would expect a surprise but when she opens the door, it turns out to be the boiler room. When he is annoying her he explains "Don't think that I'm bossing you around, I am only requesting you and helping you out". He can instantly change the mood to everything. The more you tell him to do something, the more he rebels. When they were at a chapel, Yoo Mi wanted to experience walking doing the aisle peaceful however JJY makes loud rock sounds while making Yoo mi describes it as she felt black water flowing in to the white chapel. At times I feel pretty annoyed at JJY for being uncooperative with Yoo Mi but this is also the unpredictable and comedic side that makes this couple so charming. However despite how unyielding they are with each other's ideas they seem to play well and blend well with each other.<br />

<br />
<br />
Despite how unromantic he is, you can tell that he loves yoo mi. I remember in psychology class, they say guys like to tease the person they like. You can see that instead of being romantic, he uses his own ways of loving Yoo Mi. During the wedding shoot, Yoo Mi was sick, he warms up citron tea with hot packs, placed a coat around her shoulder, and tried to finish the photoshoot fast. He knows how to be romantic and caring, he just doesn't do it to tease Yoo Mi but when Yoo Mi is sick, he steps up his game. This is when you can tell a person is caring. At the very last episode, after playing the guitar, he kept on making weird movement and sound so that Yoo Mi wouldn't cry. Because they aren't romantic, it gives a nice refreshing change to all the lovey dovey couples we've seen. I would definitely recommend you to watch this couple.<br />
<br />
Their virtual marriage appeared on episode 188 to 222 from season 4 of we got married.<br />

Above are pictures from their wedding photoshoot. They even have vampire theme photoshoot the guri planned which only totally fits their 4D character.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
In the midst of filming WGM, JJY was also releasing his album and had JYM appear in his MV which you can watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiGLH5XO6ec" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. I think the MV was breathtaking. It's hard to believe that the frail looking guy with such dark circles would be so charismatic and has such a smooth and deep voice.<br />
<br />
PS: because of his hilarious antics and smooth talking skills he has been casted into season 3 of one night two days which I think he is perfect for. I intend to watch him more on there.<br />

The rest may contain spoilers:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some commenters have said that this drama was being dragged out for too long. However I didn't feel this way at all. Every week there was something new. I waited eagerly for this drama to be subbed every week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this drama you get to see parental bond. You truly understand that a mother would do whatever she can to help her own daughter and an undying love of a child for their own parent. You see that a child will always stay still while being beaten by their parents. You see a young child's devoted love for her mother when she runs away so that her mother can marry someone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the beginning I was addicted to Kim Ji-hoon's cuteness. The way he feel over heels for Bo Ri ( Jang Eun Bi's new name after she was adopted) warmed me up. After he left Bo Ri, due to circumstances that you will later find out, my love for him died but the cold hearted Yeon Min Jung became the center of my attention. She ruthlessly abandons her own mother in order be sponsored by Bo Ri's real family. She lies and cheats her way to become accepted and loved by her new family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this drama Lee Yo Ri played the evil Yeon Min Jung well. The way she sneers at her enemy, her uncaring attitude when others beg her, her alarmed face when she realizes her lies are about to be revealed, and her pitiful face when she begs others to give her a chance that immediately changes once she finds out she couldn't get what she wants are all portrayed so realistically. I think she should win a drama award for her role. It was revealed that while on set on the streets, a bus was driving pass and a passenger shouted b*tch at her. You can see the video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBSgltleuHs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> and the article on <a href="http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/09/jang-bo-ri-is-heres-lee-yoo-ri-talks-about-being-cursed-at-from-a-bus-while-on-set" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">allkpop</a>. That's shows how well she portrayed her evil character. Her acting seriously overpowers all the casts in this drama. I can claim that Yeon Min Jung is evilest, meanest, and ruthless villain in all the dramas I have seen so far. You should watch this drama just to see her acting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The other little actor I want to gi<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">ve an applause to is<span style="color: #242424;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"> Kim Ji Young who plays Bo Ri daughter. While other child stars are given only one or two line and look like they are reciting their lines, she almost had more lines and screen time than some of the veteran actors. She portrays her character also very naturally. Her eyes are filled with tears at the exact moment and her acting trying to please her new grandparents are all so natural that why I rejoiced when she won the child award at the 2014 Korean drama award. BTW, Oh Yeon Seo won the top excellence award for actress for her role in this drama.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #242424;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">For all these reason I would definitely recommend this drama. If you like dramas that has themes like switched at birth, parental love/bond, doing what it takes to </span></span></span><span style="color: #242424; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">succeed, you will like this drama.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #242424; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"> I give this drama a must watch and 9/10 rating.</span></span></div>
