Prison Playbook

"A Korean baseball player is about to sign with a major league team in the US. His plans change after he chases a man who harasses his sister and finds himself spending a year in prison."

A MUST-WATCH KDRAMA

What makes this drama special is the individual characteristics of each prisoner in that particular cell from the detention center to prison. The story definitely captivate hearts.

The cast of characters is undoubtedly the best. It is definitely one of the best Kdramas because of its unique storyline and the cast. Cast Chemistry is also complimentary, they did an excellent job. Especially Looney (Lee Kyu-Hyung ) 's versatility and punchlines were hilarious. Too bad he had a bad ending. All the characters and the relationships with the main character is great. Every individual characteristics of each prisoner in that particular cell. story starts captivating the hearts.

The first two episodes will not get you hooked, but once you start the watching, you cannot stop. The first two episodes sets the plot for the rest of the drama. The drama includes Friendship, family, romance, comedy all in every episodes.

OST especially Bravo My Life and Panic were beautiful songs with beautiful meanings.

Really loved every bit of this drama. Didn't expect it would be that good. There were some funny scenes where you have to pause because you gonna be laughing out loud! 😂😍

Kudos to all the actors here, also the writers and directors they really did a great job portraying their characters! The combination of black comedy and drama will get you hooked. This will definitely touch your heart in unexpected ways. It's Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eunseom and Aramun Haesulla

Aramun, the son of Airuju, was sent to Asa Sin. He was raised by her and grew up in Iark. He was sent to arth as her envoy. He conquered arth and found the arthdal union. He is an igutu as when he was killed, the blood on the blade stained purple which is the color of the blood of the igutus. He will comeback in two faces and two voices along with the hammer of the wind, ionicera flower and Kanmoreu. (Don’t I sound like a member of white peak mountain hearts here?)

Eunseom and his mother went to Iark to hide because the influence of the gods of arth can’t reach that land. In iark, he met Tanya, the descendant of Asa Sin. He lived in Iark for 10 years and met Kanmoreu. He’s also an igutu. What’s left now is to conquer arth.

Eunseom’s journey is very much like aramun. Both are igutus. Both grew up in iark. Both lived together with asa sin. One was raised by asa sin. The other one is childhood friends with the descendant of asa sin. Also, eunseom is unknowingly uniting different tribes under his command which is very much like what aramun did when he came to arth and found the union. So I conclude eunseom is really aramun haesulla.

The Last Empress (2018)

" The Last Empress is set in a hypothetical constitutional monarchy in 2018 and follows the life of a musical actress who marries the Emperor of the Korean Empire."

This is one of the most exciting and thrilling Korean dramas .The plot was intriguing with a lot of twists and turns which kept us moving to the next episode and the next and next... !!! This drama is a romance action mystery with political powerplay in the back. Of course Loved the Main Cast especially ,"Choi Jin Hyuk and "Shin Sung Rok"

Loved the story line since it's a mix of monarchy and the modern world. Totally invested in the storyline and the story just kept getting interesting by the minute. ! It takes the viewers through an emotional roller coaster. Happiness, Anger, Sadness and a little bit of humor here and there.

Ending was unexpected and a little bit disappointing since "Na Wang Shik's" death (#Fangirlmoment) was rushed and they didn't even show his face may be cause of some issues with the actor. But he deserve a little bit more than the ending. Also the Emperor's death was totally unexpected and heart breaking. All in all beautifully filmed and loved every episode of it. ❤😍💖

How did I forget "The Last Empress" and "Prison Playbook*

[agirlreviewslka]

One spring Night

"Pharmacist and single father Yu Ji-ho has a chance meeting with librarian Lee Jeong-in who is already in a relationship. They start seeing love and relationships in a brand new light."

A slow pace kdrama I watched in a while. but fell in love with even though I do not prefer Melo stories as such. It is less flashy than some of the other dramas, it is, in some ways, more compelling. Finding the strength to make painful decisions that promise to make their lives more worthwhile. Not your typical love triangle, rich poor love story. Love the fact that they are very casual in their performance as if it's happening in real life.

(Also a Big fan of Jung Hae In 😍😍😍😍😍😂😂)

I like the fact that they feel guilty to go behind FL's Ex but at the same time they were direct about their feelings towards each other and was willing to be on each other's side without being a typical couple who'd let go your partner for the sake of the other.

Appreciated a few scenes that were really touching and the chemistry of the main leads was outstanding and very much relating to real life. FL's ex also did an amazing job playing the role, he expressed all the feelings a person would if they broke after a 4 Year relationship, but I do agree he got obsessive later.

Relationship between the sisters as well as the personalities of each of the sisters felt real and are super lovable.

Although skipped boring scenes that has no much influence to the main love story, no regrets since it's a very slow pace drama. All in all loved the concept and the performance.

Kingdom: Ashin of the North

A prequel of Kingdom (2019): "The young Ashin (Kim Shi-ah) is the only survivor of a massacre and trains so that she might take vengeance on the killers; Jun Ji-hyun reprises her role as the adult Ashin who puts good use to the training. Quite a savage, violent film. Not just the Zombies biting/eating people alive but also the human on human slaughter."

[agirlreviewslka]

Kingdom

A kdrama elements with horror and action and it's a well balanced drama. Every characters played an important role in developing the story. It is full of suspense, tension and twists. Die hard fans of TWD may criticize it but all in all it's a real good adaptation of zombie stories.

Season One and two consists only six episodes each, a short series. Waiting for Season 3.

Hacksaw Ridge

Suggested by one of my bestfriends. He made sure I watch it by reminding it everyday. 😁😂 Glad I could Watch it. No need to review on the concept since it was based on a true story. Loved it, enjoyed it.

Desmond Doss's courage, faith and standing up to what you believe in was remarkable to have that sort of faith in a battlefield fighting all through t he night and making sure the soldiers were alive ,well No words. Simply a beautiful Movie itself.

It's gonna be while till I'm gonna review an English TvSeries or a Movie. Got a Lot of suggestions in the List. 😁😁

Queen For Seven Days -Kdrama

"Lady Shin married Prince Jinsung in 1499. In 1506, Prince Jinsung became the King and Lady Shin became the Queen, but, 7 days later, she was removed from her position and expelled from the palace. "

The story is truly A HEART-TOUCHING drama that will make you wanna watch it all over again if you're definitely a fan of historical kdramas. This story is a bundle of happiness , joy ,anger and curiosity. The romance was subtle yet touching.

All the actors did a great job portraying their characters well. Specially the young crown Prince did a remarkable performance. Prince Yeok and Lady Shin were more friends than lovers, which made their heartbreak tolerable. King Lee Yong in his performance made sure to make viewers understand how he turned out to be the cruel king he is and sure can make viewers cry in his last episode. And of course the ending scene when the king meets Lady shin 38 years later was truly a beautiful scene and it was filmed perfectly. Loved the dialogues and the Ending scene.

Therefore it shows the perfect portrayal of how the power of true love beats all the barriers of distance and politics and stays unbreakable even in the ancient royalty of the Joseon era.

I guess this is the very first time I fell in Love with a ChickFlick KDrama. 💚💛😍

Anne with an E

Watching Anne With An E simply brought back the childhood memories of how Green Gables used to be in my imagination when I was reading the book "Anne of Green Gables" . In fact the series is even more beautiful.

[agirlreviewslka]

Arthdal Chronicles

Arthdal Chronicles is one of the best ancient Kdramas I came across recently. Took me about 2 to 3 days to watch.

The show used different languages for different tribes which is amazing. But c'mon it is a completely different and a unique storyline from GOT. Anyhow the first few episodes contains some heavy information you need to remember when watching the show. But all the confusions untangles by the end of the series.

Characters also do a real great job in performance. Neanthals were supposed to look like scary creatures but they look pretty amazing in the show. Saya and Eunsome two different personalities and how they have created is also really impressive. Tan-ya, Tagon and Teahlla are pretty amazing characters.

There are those scene you get goosebumps as if you don't believe it. Some of my favorite scenes are when Tan-ya read Saya's mind for the first time and Saya's expression 😍

Tan-ya's water dance in the great shrine ⛩ when she decodes what she was doing all through her life

And last but not the least when Xabara and her clan comes to rescue Eunsome in the waterfall scene and it finally reveal that is all for a reason are some of my favorite and iconic episodes in the show.

Those who are used to watching Game of thrones and similar series might criticize this series but all I can say is you can enjoy this story as well if you watch it with an open mind. Well this is a story that made me write a review ^_^

I hope they'll revive it to season 2 and give a proper closure to the whole story because it was in fact worth watching. <3

These days we're re-watching friends. It is THE BEST tv series , ever 😍😁😁
