~Drama Poster~

Now I am perfectly aware that not a lot of people are huge fans of Historical Drama's. But believe me peeps, this drama Is totally worth it.

OTP: (if its your first time, you should check out our earlier post for popular Kdrama Acronyms : http://allthingsasiancrp.blogspot.com/2013/12/acronyms-in-k-dramaland.html 

* The Sizzling Heartthrob Bastard Lead: ~Lee Jun Ki ~  

I think I need those smelling salts (*O*)

 

as for the Female lead .... this ones for you boys or girls 

 * The Gorgeous: ~ Shin Min a ~

 

 WAZZ IT 'BOUT- 

Arang (shin min a....lets call her 'shima'...let it go peeps, okay?..... okayyy so I'm lazy its the 21st century thing people, lets move onnn..) is a ghost who is curious about her death, I think this desire was fuelled by her lost memory of her past life... (#Iamagenius) Eun oh (Lee jun ki, AKA Satho) is the son of the ex-prime minister of feudal Korea during the Chosun Dynasty, but he has a secret, he can see ghosts. Through the rather knotty ropes of fate and destiny Arang and Satho embark on a journey to find Arang's murderer.

okayyy. stop. stop. shhhhhhhhhh. hold it right there my friend.

YES, its a little bit queer, a ghost and a human.. and since it is a romcom, we may as well assume that the two get together or fall for each other at some point in time. And a relationship with a ghost...is just not your cup of tea right?
well, it wasn't mine either, in fact this drama was on my 'to watch list' for around a year and a half!
Now; I like romcoms purely for the fact that I picture a future quite similar to the mushy humour laced projections of a typical flick (no judging people a girl can DREAM). And I certainly don't see my self in the very near or distant future having an intimate relationship with a ghost. That shit just weird.

HOWEVER! The OTP IS :

 The chemistry between the OTP IS:

 This drama will have you on your toes, crying like a fool, dreaming like a unicorn #UNICORNswag, and loving like a love sick monster.

It is a perfect blend of those melting moments where the stuck up, arrogant guy moulds into the equally stuck up, headstrong personality of the girl, and they become the most imperfectly perfect couple there could possibly be; and those action scenes of Satho that make you go

Now be freeeeee my little Kdrama Addicts, fly to Gooddrama and watch this beautifully captivating show.

~THE END~

 P.S: don't let the 'head gear' let you down, it is a historical after all, and after the second episode you come to terms with the fact that only Lee jun ki could look hot dayummmm in that weird stretched black Hawaiian'ish top hat with beads on it.

For kdrama watchers who are out hunting for drama's 'similar' to their favourite ones, or who simply need a good drama fix, annyeonghaseyo!!


And to you fellow reader(s) who have not fed off of the mystic ambrosia of kdrama...no worries I shall give you a trailer of all the awesomeness you are missing out on! :) (as cocky as this may sound, it is a 1000% true and fool proof, Kdrama's are like fancy shops to shopaholics, chocolate to your sugar rush and true to your love *sigh* (entering fangirl mode) )

 

back to the point...

The first step, it could be the beginning or the very end.
think about the choices you have made in your life, was it not driven by the burning desire to relive that which you have experienced for the first time and many more times there after, only to crave its presence neigh; in a new form?

............

wow, Ed Sheeran has quite the influence on my work... o.o
little tip: re-read this, but whilst listening to "I see fire" by Ed Sheeran
............

ooookayyy, getting back to the point :P

I think the reason I am so enamoured by Asian culture, is because there is so much of it! its just as simple as seeing a land not for what it is perceived as, but what it truly is. those little cultural nuances which no old book could teach you, those feelings, thoughts and emotions. You can not learn these; but seeing them, seeing them you can finally believe that you can live it. through each drama you take in the smells, the laughter, the sadness all of it. and then you crave to live it in truth.

That's the feeling I got when I watched my first Korean Drama. It was like Zinggggg! and boom I was caught, and oh boy am I tangled in it even now!

now you must Prepare your selves fellow readers...

 

 

ZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!:

my reaction to this god like face:

lets just say, the follow through was quite a 'big bang' (Kpop lovers, aren't I so punny?)

And my fellow Kdrama addicts/ soon to be Kdrama addicts; consider Kim Sang Bum as just the icing to the cake, for there is an army of gorgeous, knee-weakening Kmen out there (*O*)

Call me a masochist but I have fallen for my captor, Aka 'Kdrama'

But hey hey hey! life would get kind of dull if I just sat here alone....joined to the hip with my laptop and my 'precious' Kdrama, So here I am along with my fellow Kdrama addict, ready to spread the disease (cue evil laugh)

-fellow reader you are in for one hell of a ride ;)
