Lakas Tawa by Alex Calleja

Just the right amount of funny things to remind us that there will always be a reason para mapangiti at mapatawa tayo. Amidst all the stress & difficulties in life, there are normal stuffs in our daily lives na mapapaisip ka & marerealize mo how weird and silly our surroundings is, as a Filipino.

"Wag magmukmok, wag malungkot! Ang problema ay walang kwenta, kapag dinaan sa Lakas Tawa!" - Alex Calleja

Dear MOR (Mga Kwento ng mga Adik sa Pag-ibig)

This would be my first book review here in my account. Honestly, I just want to provide feedback to document the fact na nabasa and natapos ko itong book na ito. 😊

The book contains 5 different stories about love. Ngayon na lang ulit ako nakapagbasa ng mga Tagalog loves stories after the Precious-Hearts-Romances-era. Habang binabasa ko sya sa salon while I'm waiting na matapos ang rebond sesh ko, narealize ko na hindi talaga sapat yung mahal mo lang ang isang tao. In real life, andaming factors na need mo iconsider. And this book shows different types of love, in different situations and in different perspectives. Some of the main characters, nakarelate ako, and some of them made me realize na hindi mo talaga majajudge ang actions ng isang tao, lalo na kung wala ka sa posisyon at sa sitwasyon nila. Pero one thing's for sure, sa 5 characters ng 5 lovestories na to, nakita ko how they are good as a person, and how genuine their love is sa mga naging karelasyon nila. Maybe it's just that wrong timing yung love nila? Or sadyang hindi yun ang mga taong nakalaan para sa kanila? Or sadyang yung love na naranasan nila ngayon is isang part lang ng buhay nila na dapat nilang mapagdaanan as lesson and as a beautiful memory. Will never know the main reason, bahala na silang humusga nun.

Anyway, as I've said, the book contains 5 different love stories. Iba ibang storya ng pagmamahal. Pero 1 thing's common, nagmahal sila ng totoo. ❤️

Kung Ako na lang Sana

Paano ba ang Magmahal?

Pwede bang Ako na lang Ulit?

Anong Nangyari Sa 'ting Dalawa?

Bakit ba Minahal Kita?

Because This is My First Life

Last 2017 or 2018 pa when I tried to start watching "Because This Is My First Life". I remembered it clearly, I downloaded the first two episodes in Viu para lang may mapanood ako while I'm riding the bus going home from work. Standing ako sa bus, kaso first minutes palang, parang tinamad ako tapusin. That time I thought di nacapture ng Kdrama na to ang interest ko. Alam na alam ko kung san part ako tumigil, dun sa part na nahuli ni Ji ho yung brother at gf nya sa kwarto... 🙊 Hahahahaha

Anyways, this time, I tried rewatching it. Nacurious din kasi talaga ako bakit ba siya kasama sa Most Watched Kdramas. Tsaka medyo kinilig din ako kay Lee Min Ki sa Beauty Inside, so I gave it a try.

Guuurl, ngayon, it still gives me chills habang binabasa yung ilan sa mga memorable quotes and lines sa Kdrama na to. I've listed my favorites below.

©https://www.google.com/amp/s/literaturesandmovies.com/2019/11/11/korean-drama-quotes-galore-because-this-is-my-first-life/amp/

We are all living this life for the first time. ⌚

"Cats don’t have neocortex unlike humans, so they don’t get bored or depressed even if they have the same food or do the same things in the same house in their daily lives. Cats have neither a future nor a past. Only one kind of species on Earth lock themselves up in time. They’re human beings."

"In truth, one’s visit is a tremendous thing.

For he comes with his past, present, and future.

For it is because he comes with his whole life.

The heart is fragile. Therefore, it might have been broken.

The heart is coming, too."

“It’s easier to be crazy than explain something that people can’t understand. It’s more convenient that way. It’s better to be crazy than pathetic.”

"Everyone has a Room 19 in their life.

No matter how close they are with other, they don’t want those people to find out about that room. No matter how comfortable they feel around others, they can’t invite those people to that room."

“Everyone lives similarly. There’s not much difference. Although our lives are about the same, sometimes there are moments that sparkle. Whenever that happens, don’t let it get way. Save them in your star pocket. That way, when things get tough or when you get tired, you can take out a star at at time and get through it.”

"Just because you've lived yesterday, it doesn't mean you know everything about today."

Isa din to sa mga Kdramas na solid ang friendship! Yung girls na magtotropa mula Highschool pa sila, pati yung guys na nagdadamayan pag hindi nila magets mga jowa nila. Hahahahaha Bet na bet ko din bawat pairs, may sari sariling storya, at may sari sariling kilig. 😍✨

#BecauseThisisMyFirstLife #LeeMinKI #JungSoMin

Record of Youth

This is one of the simplest kdrama na light lang, pero alam mo yun, ang wholesome lang and at the same time, I must say, mature type of couple relationship.

Sobrang nakakakilig ang boy next door image ni Sa Hye Jun. His looks and character dito, hayy. Bogummy yarn eh.

I really relate a lot on Ahn Jung Ha's character. She's so practical, and at the same time, kung pano sya mag isip, kuhang kuha ko sya. The way she's being conscious sa pwedeng isipin at maramdaman ni Hye Jun. Even though she wants more of Hye Jun, rational siyang mag isip and hindi pinapairal yung pagiging masyadong "emotional". Dun ko nakikita yung side ng pagiging matured nila sa relationship nila. Also, I also like the fact na si Hye Jun talaga ang gusto niya even though she knows that Hae Jyo also likes her. Firm siya dun and talagang she managed to still be friends with Hae Jyo, no awkwardness at all. Friends lang talaga at hanggang doon lang. Awit kasi sa ibang mga plots na nagwewaiver yung feelings ni girl pag may ibang guy na nagcocomfort or nag aalala sa kanya. hehe

Eto yung kdrama na magpapakita sayo sa realidad ng relationship. Na hindi porket mahal niyo ang isa't isa, magiging smooth sailing ang lahat. There will come a time na makakaapekto ang ibang aspects ng life, one of those is yung career. Unlike any other dramas na cliche ang nangyayari, na ipaglalaban nila yung love nila and all, dito, di nila pinilit yung relationship nila. When they felt na something's wrong, and nagiging magulo lang ang lahat, they chose to let go, and rather, be the best version of themselves on their chosen paths. This may be sad, kasi diba, bakit kailangan niyong maghiwalay kung mahal niyo naman ang isa't isa. But maybe, in this situation, love just ain't enough.

Then after ilang years, they meet again, and ayun, naging okay naman na. This is also one of the many stories na magpaparealize sayo na "Some things just really needs and takes time." And kung kayo talaga sa huli, kayo talaga. Ayieeee! 💗

Gusto ko lang din iadd dito how I love the friendship of Sa Hye Jun, Won Hae Jyo & Kim Jin Woo. Ang genuine 🥺 Yung tipong lahat ng tao sa paligid nila, pilit silang pinagkukumpara sa isa't isa. But on their own, they do not see each other as someone to compete with. Real frienship.

Pati pala yung relationship ni Hye Jun with his grandpa. Eto nakakaiyak dito ehhh. He was the only one who stayed with him at hindi nawalan ng hope sa kanya. He's the one who pushed him na ipagpatuloy lang lahat and comforted him when everything was all messed up.

"But knowing doesn't mean you don't get hurt."

"I am somewhat comforted by the thought that I'm not alone at 1 am"

"Life isn't about making achievements."

"But did we ever know what life was all about? We just lived without knowing anything. Life goes on, and we just need to bear with it."

I was convinced to watch this Kdrama nung times na parang nawawalan na ko ng gana sa work. Don't get me wrong ah, I'm grateful for my job lalo na't pandemic. Pero alam mo yun, dadating ka sa point na parang nawawala ka sa mood or parang napapagod ka. Ewan. Basta ganung feeling. So I decided to watch this, baka sakali kakong mabigyan ako ng drive and biglang magka spark ulit ganern.

As one of those people working as a company employee, super relatable sya mamsh. Yung mga iba't ibang situations sa workplace. Mapapasabi ka na lang na, "aaaw, di lang pala ako. Nangyayari din pala sa iba yon." huhu Katulad nung scene nung pauwi na si Tammy and Ellie habang nasa taxi, after they had drinks talking about Alex's supposedly leaving Barro for Unicon.

Tammy: It's 1AM. But there are so many cars at this hour. That sometimes consoles me. It makes me think that I'm not the only one who's up at this hour. I'm not the only one who's living so intensely. And I'm not the only one who's having a hard time. I'm sure I also make them feel the same way. "

Naalala ko nung panahon na puro OT namin. Minsan inaabot kami ng 12AM. Imagine from Makati to Cavite. Challenge pa maghanap ng masasakyan nun. Minsan, pag pagod na pagod na ko, maiisip ko madami pa din palang gising ng ganitong oras. Yung iba kasabay kong pauwi palang din. While yung iba baka nag uumpisa palang ang araw nila. Either way, it somewhat consoles me, na di ako nag iisa. Hindi lang ako ang nagsusuffer. May kanya kanyang laban ang bawat isa sa oras na to. 🙂

Another is yung usapan nila Tammy and Scarlett. Nung time na finally, nagawa na nila yung pinaka goal nila.

Huyy, imma post the whole convo kase iba talaga strike neto sakin 😭

Scarlett: Are you happy now?

Tammy: I don't know. We worked so hard for a long time. But the satisfaction of achievement only lasts so long. Moments like this end so quickly.

Scarlett : I know. I guess life isn't about making achievements.

Tammy: Then what are we supposed to live?

Scarlett : I don't know. But did we ever know what life was all about? We just lived without knowing anything. Life goes on, and we just need to bear with it.

Tammy : If you could go back in time, when do you want to go back on?

Scarlett: My teenage years. I'd practice judo really hard. And instead of living a life with vague standards and vague answers,I'd live a life that clearly shows whether I win or lose with a sibgle shoulder throw. That would be a simpler life... That's the kind of life I want to live.

Sobrang totoo. We work so hard to attain something. Pero yung satisfaction na dala nung achievement na yun, hindi ganon katagal compared sa dami ng time na ginugol mo trying to achieve it. Ang daya noh? Kaya minsan mapapaisip ka, para san ba talaga tayo bumabangon? Sobrang vague ng lahat. Di na to katulad ng school life kung san pag tapos mo ng isang exam, you have to eye na matapos yung grade level na to para mapunta ka sa next grade level. Hanggang grumaduate ka, then magreview for board exams. Each step, may goal ka. Matapos at makapasa. Pero after all these, ano nang next? It may be vague, pero nasa sayo yun how to make things clear for your life. Sa mga may clear goals na, pagpatuloy niyo lang yan! Sa mga lost pa din kagaya ko, hang in there. Everything will be alright!

Huyy, bet ko din mga love stories dito ahh!! All three love teams were surprisingly good and nakakakilig!! ❤️ Goals din ang friendship. Malalim at may pundasyon. Kay Scarlett gets na yun. Pero yung kila Tammy at Ga Gyeong, though parati silang nagkakaron ng crash in terms of career, they still lowkey care for each other.

Bet na bet ko character ni Lee Da Hee dito huhu. Penge ng isang Scarlett please. 🥺

The Beauty Inside

Nagandahan ako dito. I think malaking factor yung di ako masyadong nag expect ng bongga sa kanya, kaya nung mapanood ko siya, ayy pak, ganda! Ganern! Isang reason why I didn't expect much is di din kasi ako fan ni Lee Min Ki, ewan ko siguro natrauma ako dun sa This is My First Life kasi unang episode palang di ko na tinuloy panoorin. Pero eto ang catchy nya, siguro kasi kakaiba din yung kwento nya. Sorry na Lee Min Ki, pero dito sa Beauty Inside, I admire him! Huhu cuteyyy chaebol 😍 Nagandahan ako sa kdrama na to kasi parang ang warm warm nya. May sincerity. Lalo na kapag yung may mga hugs si Se Gye kay Do Jae. Yung patakbo syang pupunta kay Do Jae tas yayakapin nya. May compilation nga din to eh. Wits, lezz attach it here. Hindi din sya awkward feels lamoyon. Parang ang natural lang ng first and second lead couples. ❤️ Plus, the OSTs!! ✨Lahat pasok sa banga! Hanggang ngayon nga nagpeplay pa sa utak ko yung melodies nung mga OSTs eh. Lakas maka good vibes!

These hugs are the best! 🥺

The Producers

Siguro pinaka tumatak sakin dito is yung sinasabi ni Baek Seung Chan sa last episode.

Understanding Long Time Running Shows: Do not forget the Beginning. Sino nga bang nakakaalam kung magtatagal ang isang variety show. 7 years before, wala namang nakapagsabi na magtatagal sa ere ang 2 Days and 1 Night. Nung time na nag umpisa yun, they tried out their luck. Walang nakakaalam kung anong mangyayari in the future and they just took their shot. Who would have known na hanggang ngayon running pa din ang variety show na to dba? Comparing sa first day of work nya sa KBS, everything seemed out of his way. He even felt so useless that time, pero sinasabi nya sa sarili nya na let's just do our best, and if nothing seems to go right, then let's quit. Hanggang sa natapos ang isang season, ang laki ng naging improvement nya as PD. Makes me look back sa naging first day ko sa work. Sino nga bang makakapagsabi noon na magtatagal ako ng ganito katagal sa work ko dba? Sa dami nang nangyari, 4 yrs na pala.

Medyo naiinis lang ako na sa aspect ng romance, masyadong nakafocus si Baek Seung Chan kay Tak Ye Jin!! Huhu hindi naman sila magkakatuluyan bakit andami nilang scenes. Bitin na bitin tuloy ako kila Seung Chan at Cindyyy. Nakakainissss. Sana may Season 2, tas mas focus sa kanila. Please 🥺

It's Okay to Not be Okay

in silence, no one answers...

Marathon mode ako neto as in buong Sunday dire diretso ako manood. Super unpredictable nya, di ko mabasa kung anong mangyayari. Hindi ko din mahulaan yung mga kilos ng mga characters tas ang cautious ko kasi baka may mga taong may hidden agenda ganyan. Nakakaloka. And yeah, [SPOILER ALERT], that scene nung pinakita na sino ba talaga ang mysterious character na yun, kinalabutan ako promise. Mag aalas dose na nung mapanood ko yung episode na yun, literal na tumaas balahibo ko mamsh. Actually, medyo suspicious na talaga ako sa kanya. Pero nung nareveal na, kaloka. Di ko kinaya mga titigan nya ganon. Ang scary nya promise! Kudos to that actress! 😉 Been thinking if I'll be rewatching this Kdrama kasi ang ganda nya talaga plus si Kim Soo Hyun yan noh!! What I love about this drama is also how cute the cast behind the scenes. Parang ang coclose talaga nila lalo na sila Seo Ye Ji at Kim Soo Hyun! ❤️

Medyo iba lang ang ambiance ng IOTNBO. I don't know if it's because sa countryside yung setting nya, or dahil ang creepy ng cursed castle. Or dahil medyo orange-y yellowish yung set up ng Psychiatric clinic. Or baka lahat. Idagdag mo pa yung datingan ng mga OST. Hahahahaha #NostalgicFeels

Not your typical Kdrama sweety lovey dovey genre ganun. May ibang element siya na di ko maipaliwanag. Siguro dahil nga dun sa nabanggit kong ambiance tsaka may touch siya ng psyche, making it unique and mysterious.

Goals din ang relationship between Gang Tae, Sang Tae and Moon Young! ✨ Dahil dito gusto ko na din talaga ng camping car!! ❤️

Let's also not forget how dependable Jae Su is as a friend. The real definition of "thru thick and thin". Pati na din si Ju ri of how adorable she is as a person. Na even though may one sided love siya kay Gang Tae, she became a good friend of Moon Young despite their past.

#ItsOkaytoNotbeOkay #KimSooHyun #SeoYeJi

Dinner Mate

Good vibes feeling Kdrama ✨ Light siya in a way na chill lang siya panoorin. Nakakakilig and nakakatawa. But the lessons are so good. Ito yung Kdrama na may comeback ang mga ex's trying to win their past love back. After nila iwanan yung ex nila noon, ayun, nandito ngayon, bumabalik as if nothing happened. Nakakainis yung attitude nila na dati, bigla na lang silang nang iwan basta basta, tas ngayon makikipagbalikan sila kasi gusto lang nila, ganon. Hey, nakasakit po kayo for your info! Anyways, in this situation hanga ako kay Wo Do Hee and Kim Hye Kyeong. I want Kim Hye Kyeong's outlook na "past is past". Siguro ganun din talaga ang perspective ng isang psychiatrist. At the same time, I admire how Wo Do Hee handles her situation. Pinakanapuzzle ako sa scene nung nasa bahay niya si Jung Jae Hyuk, takot na takot sya nun when she called Hye Kyeong, pero nung nakita niya how messed up Jae Hyuk is, she covered him up. I was puzzled, pero narealize ko, ang matured nya dun. At first, nabuhayan si Jae Hyuk, thinking Do Hee's protecting him. But I think Do Hee has her own reasons. As much as she wanted to tell Hye Kyeong the details, she opted not to tell him. Di ko din maexplain in words kung bakit, pero I really think she acted up on a matured way.

I also want how honest and direct yung scene wherein Hye Kyeong confesses to Keanu that he saved Jae Hyuk from the car crash, not for his sake but for Do Hee's sake. Kung mamamatay si Jae Hyuk right in front of her eyes, that scene will always be remembred by her, and it will occupy some space in her heart. And that's the thought Kim Hye Kyeong had that time. Very honest.

Agree din ako sa thought na it's good in the feeling when you have someone stranger to talk to. That person that doesn't know anything about you personally, magaan makipagcommunicate and to talk everything you have in your mind. You don't care what he might think about you, kasi di ka naman nya kilala. Kaya malaya mong naeexpreess yung feelings mo.

Medyo bitin na bitin lang ako palagi. There are many scenes na feeling mo may mangyayaring something na, tas biglang magpapakipot si Do Hee. Hahahahaha

OSTs give the good feels too ✨ Alam mo yung feeling na yellowish yung paligid, tas fall yung season. Ang warm and ang happy lang. Ganun yung feeling na nabibigay ng Dinnermate and it's OSTs sakin. 😍

Another Kdrama na may touch ng psychological stuff. Nabuhay na naman yung interest ko sa psych. Napakahiwaga talaga ng mind ng tao. Andaming pwedeng mangyari. Andaming possibilities.

Hyde Jekyll, Me

As much as I wanted not to spoil others na di pa nakakapanood, dito ko lang kase nairerelease ang mga opinions and feelings ko sa kdrama hehe. So if you don't want to be spoiled, better leave this post na hehe [SPOILER ALERT!!]

Eto yung mapapraning ka din ano ba talaga magiging ending. Kasi gusto mo syempreng ma-cure yung sakit ni Gu Seo Jin, at the same time, you're hoping for a happy ending sa love story ni Robin at Jang Ha Na. Inabot ako ng madaling araw sa panonood. Eto na ata pinaka mabilis kong nai marathon. Nag umpisa ako ng Friday evening. Then natapos ako ng Sunday afternoon. Madami pang breaks yun kasi hindi ko talaga kayang magdire diretso sa screen. Sobrang gusto kong matapos na agad, pero yung mata ko umaayaw na.

Anyway, I'm satisfied sa ending. Super. Kasi siya naman talaga yun. Moments of Hana either with Seo jin, or with Robin, iisang tao lang yun. Yes, magkaiba nga sila ng personality, but at the end of the day, iisang tao pa din lang sila. Naiba lang yung sitwasyon since Seo jin doesn't remember the memories and doesn't feel the emotions while he is acting as Robin. But when you remove that variable, siya pa din yun. Kaya I couldn't agree more sa ending. Seo jin's illness has been cured. All the memories and emotions while he is Robin, lahat yun naaalala nya at nararamdaman na nya. And yun lang din naman talaga yung ineexpect natin dba. Iisang tao. Iisang katawan. Iisang identity. And yung variable kanina, nawala na. So, tamang tama lang. At the same time, Ha Na took her time to be healed. Syempre ayaw natin yung agad agad mafafall after a breakup. Bet pa din natin yung may healing process, bago sumabak ulit sa lavarn! Hahahaha And at the end, they had their happy ending! ♥

One thing lang na I find it odd, is yung sinabi ni Seo Jin sa huli na may isa lang siyang hindi naaalala. And it was the wedding day of Robin and Hana. If I will be given a chance to change anything sa story, eto yun. What's the purpose pa of forgetting that one thing, saying "I think Robin took the memories of that day with him". This just gives another misconception na magkaiba si Seo Jin at Robin. Eh ang gusto ko ngang paniwalaan, iisa pa din sila. Huhu sige, ipilit ko pa. Basta yun lang naman ang point of view ko. Hehe

I also like the suspense scenes with Lee Soo Hyun. Direct to the point na kapag mahuhuli na siya, yun na yun. Yes maraming twists. Pero tamang timpla lang. Hindi yung hype na hype ka na sa climax kasi mahuhuli na yung antagonist , tas biglang hindi pa pala. Though may mga scenes talaga na ganun dito, pero hindi yung tipong paulit ulit at OA na. Pag kasi paulit ulit, parang nawawala na yung intensity. Dito keri lang. Tama lang.

And yung isang antagonist na may masamang balak, pero at the end of the day, nagiging katawa tawa siya sa mga ginagawa nyang kalokohan para lang mapabagsak yung protagonist. Hahahaha bet ko din yun! 🤣

Nung una parang dko sya bet panoorin. Kasi mala Kill Me Heal Me daw sabi sa mga comments. Eh parang hindi ko gusto yun. Pero nung napanood ko to, sobrang naging interesado ako on the idea of Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder. I was amazed on possibilities like this. Na pwede palang mangyari yun. Kudos talaga sa gumawa ng Kdrama na to, from the writer to the director, to the actors, basta sa lahat lahat. Kasi they have portrayed the concept and the story very well. Very interesting and amazing. Plus na lang din yung kagwapuhan ni Hyun Bin!! 😍

Eto nagpanumbalik sakin manood ulit ng mga Kdramas after having a break, kasi netong mga nakaraan, may mga nauumpisahan akong mga Kdrama na di ko natatapos kasi nawawalan ako ng interest. After Hospital Playlist, sinimulan ko yung Reply 1997, Revolutionary Love, pero di ko sila natapos. Hays.

Going back, ang ganda talaga ng Hyde Jekyll, Me! ✨

Hospital Playlist

Yeahhh! This was really not part of my watchlist. It just so happened that I got bored with Shopping King Louis, then tried scrolling thru Netflix to switch to something better. (Huhu, sorry, I really gave chance to SKL, kaso naboringan talaga ako)

Then, ayun, I didn't notice na nakaka3 episodes na pala ako in a row. Hanggang sa dire diretso na. Hindi ako fan ng medical kdramas, the reason why it's not part of my watchlist, but gurl! Super haveyyy. More on friendship goals talaga sya. And work life balance ah. Imagine, they are on-call doctors, pero nagagawa pa din nila yung bonding nila ng pagtugtog. Here are some of my takeaways.

1. Friendship. Sobrang goals yung friendship nila. Yung friendship na lagi mong kasama kahit san. Mapa work at personal life. Maiintindihan ka nila kasi same same kayo ng career, and alam nila buong angkan mo as well as the recent happenings in your life! Swag!

2. Hindi sya focus masyado sa lovestory, kaya pag may onting sweet scenes, kikiligin ka din talaga!!.

3. Gurl, the OST!! OST is really a big score sakin. Minsan nga nacoconvince ako manood ng isang kdrama pag narinig kong maganda yung OST nya eh. Kasi it's one of the things na nakakapagpahila ng emosyon, at the same time, pag narinig mo sya bigla out of nowhere, maiisip mo na lang yung ilang scenes sa kdrama na yun. Sobrang nakaka good vibes OST neto mamsh! I swear!

4. The heroic deeds of a doctor. Grabe. Narealize ko hindi ako pwedeng maging doctor. Naiilang nga ako pag nakikita ko yung mga ginagawa nilang opera opera. Nangingimi ako. Pati pag may kinukuning kuning sila sa utak sa puso sa liver. Wew. Dko matitigan. And, their urgency is amazing! Yung response nila sa mga biglaang sitwasyon. Bawal tarantada dun. You have to be calm but quick witted. Kaya saludo ako sa lahat sa kanila. And one of the things I awe for, is that palagi silang on-call. Walang kasiguraduhan yung mga vacations nila kasi baka bigla silang kailanganin sa emergency. Always on ang phone nila kasi isang tawag na di nila masagot, baka buhay ang maging kapalit. Kaya saludo ako sa mga doctors!!

5. Mido & Parasol. While watching the drama, sabi ko, ang galing talaga nilang actors to act like they really play the instruments. Pero gurl, nung manood ako ng mga BTS, there i found out na sila pala mismo ang tumutugtog ng mga instruments na yun. Sobrang galing!! Pinag aralan at pinag practisan nila bawat song and covers nila. Daebaaaak!!

My Secret Romance

If you want a light, candy romance to take a break from the intense kdramas you've been binge watching today, I think this drama's for you!

Well, let's be honest here. At first ep, medyo naweirduhan ako. I don't know why but it's something oddly different from the other kdramas I have watched before. Some scenes are awkward, and being a non pro pagdating sa mga movie or cinema reviews, I can't point out kung san may mali. But eventually, I find myself drawn with it. Chill lang and light ang datingan. Just like your usual romance drama na may rich guy and average girl na nagkainlove-an ganun. Pero I swear, hayop to sa pagpapakilig. Nakakaloka. Ang gaganda din kasi ng OSTs, nakakadala ng emosyon!! And, di ka mabibitin sa kissing scenes sis! 😂

Well, one good major takeaway ko sa kdrama na to is if you're happy with it, then go. Don't waste your time worrying what other people might think about you. You may be given a chance to explain your side, but then, not all people may be satisfied and get it as it is. Others may be so skeptic asking further questions, and your explanation will never get to an end. So why bother dba. You don't have to explain everything to them. Don't live your life hiding inside the closet. Go, be free. And give yourself the right to be happy without worries. I didn't expect that I'll get this lesson from Lee Yoo Min's Eomma. Medyo nakakagigil kasi sya dun, pero in the end, mamahalin mo din naman sya. ♥️

Super kilig na kilig pa din ako sa Song Ji Eun ♥ Sung Hoon couple na to ah. Binabalik balikan ko palagi yung surprise guesting ni Ji Eun sa Fan meeting ni Sung Hoon. Cuteyy nila 🥰 However, they both clarify that the dating rumors aren't true. Pero iba talaga chemistry nila. Pati yung mga titigan ni Sung Hoon. Dyan tayo nafa-fall ehh!! 😍

Sobrang kilig na kilig ako sa clip na to kaya paulit ulit kong pinapanood sa yt. Ctto 😊https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=ZRcaDh7ItiA

Hwayugi The Korean Odyssey

My major takeways on this Kdrama:

1. The fake feelings that turned out to be true, dati pa. Pero di mo alam kung kailan exactly nagsimula. Na kalagitnaan palang ng series, kaya na pala nyang tanggalin yung Geumganggo nang di nya narerealize. Because at some point in time, Son Oh Gong already loves Jin Seon Mi even without the Geumganggo.

2. The solid friendship. Yung kahit may iba't iba silang mga intensyon at pinapangalagaan, that sometimes they have to betray each other, pero in the end, solid pa din sila. Actually, this thing made the series unpredictable. You don't know what one character would do kasi he has his own thing or loved one to protect. Will he do it kahit ang kakalabanin nya is someone close to him. Mga ganong eksena. And promise. Andami nun dito. Pero in the end, okay pa din silang lahat. Nandun pa din yung care and love nila para sa isa't isa.

3. PK and Buja.

4. The ring version of Geumganggo. Showing that Son Oh Gong also needs Jin Seon Min as much as she needs him.

5. Though the heavens have their own plans and though their fate is believed to be already written, love has its powers to make its own way. In the end, the Saeryong's fate was not fulfilled. And it's because of their choices. The choices Son Oh Gong and Jin Seon Mi each made to protect one another.

6. The finale. That one day chance to make him remember their moments together. This is so heartbreaking. At first, Jin Seon Mi thought that once she'll take the Geumganggo out of Son Oh Gong's wrist, all his pain will go away. Not realizing the fact na nasasaktan si Son Oh Gong hindi dahil sa Geumganggo, but because of the pain of his love to Jin Seon Mi, who is no longer with him. Pero I think, okay yung pagkakaerase ng memory ni Son Oh Gong. Because with all those memories, I think it would be more painful to bear it.

Bitin ako sa ending pero with the Namsan Tower scene, the promise Son Oh Gong made that he will find his Sam Jang with the other eye he has given her, I guess with this hope, it's enough to say that it's a happily ever after. Since from the very start naman, Son Oh Gong always find his way to Jin Seon Mi.

Super gwapo ni Lee Seung Gi dito huhu. 😭😭 I really ship him with Oh Yeon Seo 💛 And ghorl, andami nilang kissing scenes dito!! 🥰

Suspicious Partner

After “Healer”, I already had the dramas lined up for me to watch JI Chang Wook. And first in my list is this romcom drama, with love interest between two attorneys - Noh Ji Wook & Eun Bong Hee.

I find this drama just a simple, so-so type. If you just want to chill and would like something to watch, I’d recommend this drama because it is funny and full of kilig, pabebe moments. hahahaha and hey, this is the drama where I had the most number of screenshots. I have an album in my phone, full of screenshots of cuteness and charming face of Ji Chang Wook from this drama huhu

Aside from focusing on the cute side of Ji Chang Wook here, what I also like is the second lead man, Ji Eun Hyuk, who appears to be so gentle and kind to the lead actress, just with the simple intention of friendship. I just find it rare in kdramas, if you know what I mean. It’s always like, there would be unnecessary love triangle, and the whole story will just focus on that. It’s refreshing to see this kind of relationship between the characters, especially when they handle a case and all of them cooperate professionally, including the second lead actress, who so happened to be No Ji Wook’s ex gf.

I’ll remember this drama with a light feels and ambiance, full of kilig, urong sulong pabebe moments, especially when Ji Eun Hyuk helps Eun Bong Hee make No Ji Wook jealous.

Healer

Starring Ji Chang Wook & Park Min Young, this 20 episode KDrama gave me a roller coaster feeling with mixed emotions of action, comedy and of course, romance. My friend Nikki, suggested this drama a long time ago, since she is a big fan of Ji Chang Wook, but I didn’t pay attention to it since number one, I don’t even know who Ji Chang Wook is, and number two, the title itself “Healer” gave me an impression of doctors, aiding sick people, etc. But I proved myself all wrong while getting myself swept away watching it on a marathon mode, even on a weekday, office day. Hahahaha

As I was scrolling through Viu, searching for something interesting to watch, while lying on a hot Sunday, with dysmenorrhea attacking my whole body, I remembered what Nikki kept on suggesting me to watch. It is the Healer. I searched for it, and for the first episode, I was not impressed at all. It was boring, which made me pause the video, and went to sleep since I was not able to appreciate it. When I woke up, I decided to give it a chance, saying that I would just finish one episode, and if I won’t enjoy it, I’ll message up Nikki, and say it’s not worth my time though. But before the episode ends, there was a scene that finally got my attention, the characters of Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young finally met!! And this was the beginning of my addiction to this Kdrama.

Power. This is where the drama revolves to. Being powerful, that will give you all the fame and money, but will make you forget the most precious things in life.

Honestly, I want to skip the morals since what I really want in this drama is the coolness of Ji Chang Wook. He’s so handsome here being the “Healer”! I swear! That is why I regret not listening to my friend a long time ago! Hahahaha Of course, I also adore Park Min Young, making me realize how lucky she is, being partnered with the great actors in the industry. Lee Min Hon (City Hunter), Song Joong Ki (Sungkyungkwan Scandal), Yo Seung Ho (Remember), Park Seo Joon (What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim), and this, Ji Chang Wook (Healer). Please also do note how Seo Joong Ho is a clingy boyfriend here, which gave me just a slight turn off, well because I just like him to be his cool side of being the Healer. Hehe

This drama is indeed, superb! I might be watching it when the time comes that I miss Ji Chang Wook, but for now, I have many dramas that are lined up: Suspicious Partner & K2. All starring Ji Chang Wook oppa!!

Miss Hammurabi

As I am writing this text, I am currently listening to it’s OST. Hayyy 😍 Miss Hammurabi is indeed one of the dramas that give me this heavy feeling since it shows the reality of our society. Having the main characters as judges in a country, the drama shows how different people in the government perceive the current situation of the society. I really admire Judge Park here. She is very passionate to bring change in the system, and to give hope to the powerless in the society. But as the show progresses, it also shows how hard it is to achieve those goals. It is not enough that you are passionate to your dreams, you must also be careful with the decisions you’ll be making, since not everything must come out based on our emotions. Gladly, Judge Im is always there for her, reminding her every time she will be making any actions or decisions.

I realized here that the reality of “Having lots of money can make one powerful” really does exist not only in our country, but all over the world. Everywhere. Some may have the courage to make a change, just like Miss Hammurabi. But it is never easy to go against the usual common thinking of the people. It may be hard to start a movement for fighting for justice and equality, but we can make it in our own life. We may never be one of the famous influential people like a celebrity, a politician, or a big businessman to be able to contribute for the common good. But we can always start with our own selves. We can be just and righteous while we are living our life. And this drama inspires me to be a good person that does not only think of myself, but also puts myself in the shoe of other people to be able to understand them more. To be able to understand why they said or did something, and to be able to understand the possible reason why they have hurt us. Through this, we can make sound decisions not only based on our own feelings, but also taking into consideration the side and feelings of other people.

“Maybe no one is evil or ugly. Maybe there are only evil and ugly situations.” Yes, this may be true. Let us not judge other people at once, “baka naman may pinagdadaanan lang.” This is always my motto whenever I try to convince myself after being hurt by someone, or whenever I try to understand his mad actions. “Baka naman may rason siya, baka naman may pinagdadaanan lang.”

This drama is more of an eye opener, I should say. Bitin na bitin kasi ako sa kilig kila Judge Park and Judge Im huhu. And hey, Judge Im is super cool here. (L of Infinite, Kim Myung Soo). Whenever he’s saying something so witty, he’s so cool! And yung mga pasulyap sulyap at labas dimples niyang mga ngiti, waaaah, pati ako napapangiti nang di ko namamalayan sa van habang nasa byahe eh! I really look forward each episode na may something cheesy na scenes sila Judge Park at Judge Im, pero sobrang onti lang, like pahapyaw lang. And I think naka contribute ‘to dun sa drama. I don’t know why, but making me look for something more, then ipoprovide naman nila pero onti lang, it helped na din siguro para di maumay yung audience. Well, sapat na rin siguro yun since the main objective of the drama is to deliver something. Di naman kasi pure love story ang genre nung story. I like it that way. 😊 May kilig, pero onti lang, sapat lang. Hayyy Kim Myung Soo 😍❤
