I already knew the sorrow of being a survivor, but I didn't know just how heavy that sorrow would be.

[glitterfairy-21225]

Ideas for AoUAD season two, some good, some bad, some absolutely terrifying. Not to say that I want everything on this to happen, obviously, some of these keep up at night shaking in fear (Ha-ri, get behind me). But all things I can see the show maybe doing.

Will reblog once the season comes out.

On-jo: Christmas is about the bonds that brings us together!

Dae-su: It’s about friends!

Hyo-ryung: And family!

Mi-jin: And killing Santa!

Su-hyeok: And that is the true meaning of Christmas.

Love Is For Suckers

It had been a while since I watched a nice romantic comedy. It had a little bit of everything and there was substance in the plot. I liked the characters and their stories. The friendship between Jae Hoon and Yeo Reum feels natural and genuine. And I like the quartet of high school friends: Yeo Reum, Jae Hoon, Dae Shik and Hye Jin.

You could say this series is divided into two parts. The first one is where we see Jae Hoon's love for Yeo Reum. The friendship that he doesn't want to cross, afraid of being rejected because she is still hung up on the finance who left her. Kim In Woo returns after living in the United States for many years. He now wants to get back together with Yeo Reum. She goes back to him mostly because she keeps thinking about how they were before he left. She doesn't want to face the fact that they have both changed.

The second half of the series focuses on how Yeo Reum realizes and faces the fact that she is in love with Jae Hoon. And this happens in the process of producing Kingdom of Love 2 where he became a participant to replace a person who left at he last minute. But in this reality show will also be participating the young woman his mother made him have a blind date with months ago.

Here we are introduced to another set of characters that also caught my attention. I became invested in Ji Wan's and Chef John's story. Chef John, who had been a jerk in the first part of the series, gets to show us a different side of him that makes us forget that first side we saw earlier.

I won't go into too many details, but I liked how each character faces their sadness, difficulties and move on. I like the fact that those characters we learned to care for have their happy ending.

This is a really sweet story and I recommend it!

Reseña de Itaewon Class (2020)

Título: Bride of The Century / 이태원 클라쓰 / Itaewon Keullasseu

Género: Drama, Romance, Amistad

Episodios: 16

Cadena: jTBC

Periodo de emisión: 31-Enero-2020 al 21-Marzo-2020

Sinopsis: Basado en el famoso webtoon homónimo, Itaewon Class cuenta la historia de Park Sae Ro Yi (Park Seo Joon), cuya vida se ha puesto patas arriba después de que lo expulsan de la escuela por golpear a un matón y su padre muere en un accidente. Siguiendo los pasos de su padre, abre un pub llamado "DanBam" en el barrio de Itaewon y, junto con su gerente y personal, se esfuerza por alcanzar el éxito y mayores alturas.

Rate: ★★★★★

Inspirador, impactante, adictivo, reflexivo, entretenido, motivador. ¡¡Lo vería mil y un veces!

Empecé viendo este kdrama sin ver ningún spoiler y sin releer la sinopsis para permitirme sorprender y vaya que lo hizo.

Itaewon Class es el kdrama del que todos hablaron en el 2020 y creí sobrevalorado, pero no me arrepiento de no haberlo visto antes y ahora leerán el por qué. La mayoría afirma que es una kdrama muy bueno y lo recomiendan por su historia inspiradora; de tantas veces que leí lo mismo sobre Itaewon Class, llegué a pensar que estaba sobrevalorado, pero también pensé que algo bueno debía de tener para que mucha gente lo amara tanto. “Inspirador” fue la palabra clave que me hizo esperar para verlo. Sí de verdad cumplía lo que comprometía, quería guardar este kdrama en mi watchlist para verlo cuando más lo necesitara. Ese momento fue a inicios de enero y fue la mejor decisión de enero, eso puedo afirmarlo. 

¿Las actuaciones? Brillantes.

¿Los personajes? Fantásticos.

¿La historia? Adictiva.

¿El mensaje? Inspirador.

¿El guión? Majestuoso.

Lo que más me sorprendió fueron los protagonistas, tanto la protagonista femenina como el protagonista masculino. Ambos fueron los personajes más complejos y mejor desarrollados de la historia. Jo Yi Seo es especialmente distinta a cualquier otra heroína a la que estamos acostumbrados. Es sarcástica, fuerte y presuntamente sociópata. Un personaje muy refrescante.

Park Sae Ro Yi es un personaje persistente, tenaz, con convicción y siempre fiel a sus ideales. Un personaje de lo más admirable con el que logras empatizar desde el inicio y no puedes evitar sino desear lo mejor por él hasta el final.

[SPOILER ALERT]❗❗❗

Personalmente me encantó la química entre Park Seo Joon (Park Sae Yo Ri) y Kim Da Mi (Jo Yi Seo). Era mi pareja preferida y de verdad quería que se quedaran juntos, y dado que no había leído ningún spoiler realmente no sabía con quien iba a terminar Sae Yo Ri. Creo que lo que dijo Yi Seo al final realmente tiene sentido, tienen un carácter muy diferente pero tienen una cosa en común, no conocen la calidez de las personas. Ambos se aman mucho, lo demuestran con palabras, lo demuestran con acciones, lo sienten con todo su corazón, pero no son ni serán la típica pareja que actúa cariñosa todo el tiempo. Están en modo de negocios cuando están en el trabajo y en modo pareja cuando salen. 

[FIN DEL SPOILER ALERT]

Un excelente bonus que le añade valor a la historia es la inclusión de un personaje de color y un personaje trans. Estos personajes también tuvieron sus momentos y de igual manera entregaron un bonito mensaje con sus historias. 

Algo que me encantó infinitamente, fue el OST. Cada canción queda perfecta con la escena. Menciones especiales a Start Over de Gaho (motivadora) y a Sweet Night de V (consoladora). Absolutamente fascinantes canciones.

Si están buscando una historia impactante, entretenida, motivadora e inspiradora, Itaewon Class es EL kdrama.

Le doy 1000 estrellas a Itaewon Class (si se pudiera).

Rampant (2018)

If you’re interested in a period piece zombie film set in Korea but you don’t have the time to sit down and watch an entire season of Netflix’s The Kingdom, then Rampant is the movie for you. Movies about legions of undead terrorizing hapless citizens have been done countless times but this take offers something fresh.

Set during the Joseon dynasty, a plot to overthrow King Lee Jo (Kim Rui-Sung) accidentally releases a plague in a nearby village that turns people into highly contagious, flesh-eating 'night demons'. As their numbers grows, the crown prince Lee Chung (Hyun Bin) and his companion Hak-soo (Jeong Man-sik) must face this threat while schemers move ever closer to toppling the throne.

While many zombie films are made on the cheap, Rampant has a sizeable budget. The period setting is a nice way to mix things up visually and provides some spice to the formula. These zombies can be taken out with a blow to the head or heart and unlike most other stories, firearms are extremely rare. What does that mean? Swordsmen vs. zombies. That’s pretty cool. The excitement doesn't stop there. Escape is out of the question. Communication with the outside is nothing like what we have today. The infected are also given a couple of rules/weaknesses to keep your hopes up and things interesting. Movies of the zombie genre usually have a fairly standard plot and ultimately, it comes down to whether the conclusion is satisfying. Without giving too much away, this picture's is.

What sets Rampant apart is the stuff outside of the zombie apocalypse, however. To the backstabbing officials, this disaster is merely another opportunity. Even that’s not entirely novel. Many zombie stories reveal that humans are much worse than the flesh-eaters who rise from their graves. This won't even cross your mind while watching. You’ll just be concerned about whether Lee Chung will realize the real enemy is Ki Ja-joon (Jang Dong-gun) before it’s too late.

At 121 minutes, Rampant is too long. Some characters could’ve been combined to give their deaths (or survival) more meaning. The action scenes also tend to overstay their welcome. If you cut down zombies left and right it’s awesome at first but the more you cut down, the less of a threat they become.

Rampant offers a nice breath of fresh air while delivering what you want to see in a zombie movie. The ghouls are threatening, the swordplay and sieges keep you on edge and the political scheming bridges the gaps nicely - you may even find it more interesting than the monsters. It runs long and some of its time could’ve been better spent expanding on the characters. Though the sequel it wants to tell isn’t going to happen thanks to disappointing box-office results, Rampant still work as a standalone piece. (Original Korean with English subtitles, May 29, 2020)

top 10 kdrama bromances to feed your empty heart

if you scroll through my page, you can already guess number 1.

#10 - our beloved summer : choi ung and kim ji ung

beautiful beautiful men choi woo shik and kim sung cheol played ung bros for life in this beautiful beautiful drama. one of the best handled love triangles ive seen. they were there for each other through thick and thin, and helped each other through sm. best. on the tenth spot because they could've expanded on it more :(

#9 - what's wrong with secretary kim? : lee young joon and park yoo sik

i could never make it through the series. i left it behind on ep9/10 i think, and primarily because i physically cannot digest how emotionless park min young is. BUT, kudos to the hilarious office best bromance by the great park seo joon and kang ki young. ps - why is kang ki young the pankaj tripathi of korean dramas?

#8 - strong girl do bong soon : ahn min hyuk and in gook du

can we ever forget the legendary wink? or the dream where min hyuk is dressed as a woman? i think not. this was more of a frenemy type bromance, united by their love for bong soon and ironically divided by it, too. i refuse to acknowledge this as a love triangle tho. bong soon was astronomical in not hurting gook du and i will not take any criticism. is it a bromance if one of them is pretending to be gay? (and no, we will not discuss any sort of iTs pRoBLeMaTiC debates here.)

#7 - tale of the nine tailed : lee yeon and koo shin ju

don't come at me with the lee rang comments. rang was his half brother, related by blood. their relationship was top tier, but the stay at home husband yeon and working husband shin ju was too cute to not be classified as a bromance. in the beginning, i saw their relationship as shin ju serving yeon, a dynamic that they both seemed to embody. but as the show progresses, yeon baby we know you love shin ju just as much :*

#6 - alchemy of souls : jang uk and seo yul

song joon ki seems to have an attachment to bromances. han seo had the best character arc of the ENTIRE kdrama universe fight me. that court scene where vincenzo pats han seo's cheek was max bro cuteness. still not over his death. he deserved better.

#5 - vincenzo : vincenzo cassano and jang han seo

even though i didn't very much like the show's first couple, bromance delivered well. hospital scene peaked, complete true beauty sameness. it was pretty hard to understand who was the superior officer in this tbh initially, since their comraderie was so cool, shi jin was kid to soldier in a split second. loved how they chose not to unnecessarily exaggerate the love triangle initially bec i was only rooting for the second couple.

#4 - descendants of the sun : yoo shi jin and seo dae young

business proposal was the first kdrama i saw. i finished it in a three day trip, and i remember thinking more about the bromance than the romance. i was NOT used to the clumsiness of kdramas in general, like wattpad fics incarnated. the bromance delivered well, made me root for the second couple, and was the only initial indicator of kang tae moo being human instead of archaeopteryx. that word was a nightmare to spell.

#3 - business proposal : kang tae moo and cha sung hoon

the most wolfstar bromance if I ever saw one. and NO, i do not ship wolfstar just like i do not ship these two. they are totally adorable, and specially since their personalities seemed to switch from when they were children. yeong turned all serious face and lee gon got fun. love their years of friendship sm, their wordless communication and yeong in general. the acting was amazing.

#2 - the king - eternal monarch : lee gon and jo yeong

#1 - guardian - the lonely and great god : kim shin aka goblin and wang yeo aka grim reaper

yes, i know I'm missing a lot of iconic ones. unfortunately, i haven't seen alot of kdramas and have left alot in bw (like true beauty bec i couldn't see second lead hurt).

spring onion slays ^

told ya, if u follow me u already knew what the first one was gonna be. being the simp i am for the goblin and grim reaper, these two achieved the max points for their bromance. that slow dynamic of goblin calling reaper's hat tacky to fighting with knives to that iconic 'saranghae' to 'HOW DARE YOU' to goblin boiling eggs with his powers while reaper chills the beer. they know each other so well. love love love them and you should too 🔪

in my heart, the trio of our boys beats nothing (except for the gookdu-minhyuk relationship of the crown prince and uk). but instead of choosing the frenemy thing, i decided to love yul and uk more. yul was such a quiet character, with incredible potential in him for me to hate him, but then...(the guy is literally too sweet and beautiful and nice i can ramble for days). and uk, man, our power baby who loves every version of our beautiful but slow girl, needed so much emotional support. uk and yul were not afraid to show their affection for each other, a trait i admired in all the three boys (jang uk, seo yul and park dang gu).

Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive

[glitterfairy-21225]

Fuck. Um. So, I wrote the aouad reaction fic. And I fully intended for it to just be season one. Like, I legit thought it would be a miracle if I accomplished that.

But you know, I did.

So, the more I think about it, the funnier I think it would be to do season two. Bring back all the s1 characters, who are essentially reacting how Ji-min did when the soldiers lowered her back down.

And when her parents died.

Hell, and during her death scene.

And all the new characters introduced in season two are just like ‘???? The fuck did I miss????’

[allofusaredead-incorrectquotes]

Hyo-ryung: Hey, Dae-su. Are you wearing your running bottoms... and your hoodie?

Joon-yeong: Dae-su, are you going running?

Dae-su: [nods and leaves]

Ha-ri: Have fun.

Joon-yeong: Oh my god, what is wrong with Dae-su?

On-jo: Yeah, is he okay?

Ha-ri: Dae-su is going for a run. If anything we should be asking what is right with him.

Hyo-ryung: He only goes running if he’s upset, and he’s wearing his sad hoodie. And by the looks of it, it’s been washed! Which is bone-chilling.

Ha-ri: He’s fine. Everything’s okay.

[Woo-jin storms in]

Woo-jin: I just passed Dae-su on the street! Running! ON PURPOSE! OH MY GOD!!!

Ha-ri: Maybe I was wrong.

Woo-jin: [opening a window] DAE-SU! ARE YOU OKAY!?! I SEE YOU! AND I LOVE YOU!

Ha-ri: In my defense, no one here emotes in a normal way.

Joon-yeong: That’s fair.
