I've reached the end of Again My Life and I was a little bit... disappointed?

I don't know why but I feel like the ending was so abrupt and just like in Lawless Lawyer, the whole show is just emphasizing on Lee Joon Ki character. I mean he's cool and I'm a fan of his acting and skills, but I think these 2 dramas just emphasizing his intelligence and skills in fighting (???).

I want terribly dissapointed when I knew that there was no background storu for Cho Tae Sub AT.. ALL. I mean like there should be some kind of reasons why he turned bad from a just prosecutor, right?? I want to see what triggers him from being the bad guy..

And I expect him to realize that he is wrong or stuff or realize and kinda regret etc..?? But there's nothing and he just vanished???

Well but overall the story is kinda good, but I kinda feel bad for the FL because Hee A doesn't get too much screen time. And it happened to the FL in Lawless Lawyer too. They got outshined by Lee Joon Ki.

I personally love Scarlet Heart and Flower of Evil more :(

[tsubakistory]

I love how each character backstory unfold on how they've met Kim Hee Woo!!

[tsubakistory]

I'm on the 2nd episode of "Again My Life" and it's very funny lol

The way Hee Won's father thought he is an impostor just because he's such a good boy now 🤣

And when he asked "What's your father name?" Just because Hee Won wants to go to college lol.

Leave the jokes aside, I thought his parents were going to die for real though... I thought this is one of those scene that will be like "You can not change someone's life" or something... THUS I was very elated to know his parents are alive!! :D

[tsubakistory]

Now I'm starting "Again My Life", starred by Lee Joon Gi! He is my fav actor :D

[tsubakistory]

I FINALLY FINISHED WATCHING HAPPINESS

It was so good

I got bored and irritated in the middle episodes because.. well so many annoying human there, but overall it was great.

You know what? I got irritated the most by the male doctor and pretty much satisfied when Sae Bom kicked him :) he deserves to be kicked and bitten :)))

[tsubakistory]

Still on the 4th episode of Happiness

I wonder who Andrew is? He seems suspicious though. Is he the one who kinda like spreading the drugs or something because he hates humans(?) Because he's hurt by them due to the scar on bis face?

[tsubakistory]

It's already the 3rd episode and I got irritated by the female lead. Like you obviously known that there is something wrong with the Ahjuma in the floor above, but you still opened the damn door!!!? I mean like she got into the life-death situation like three freakin' times already!!

[tsubakistory]

I had almost thrown my phone.

Thoughts: Ja-sung vs Ji-ho (18 again)

JI HOOOOOO

ofc ;)

Are you #jasungteam or #jihoteam? Me? of course i’m #jihoteam! :D

Why?

Okay first. I’m not trying to antagonize Ja sung here or anything, But I have my reasons for not choosing him. 

Well usually, the bad boy type (Ja sung) will win over the childhood friend (Ji ho). It’s just the motive in a lot of drama/film, especially in shoujo manga.

So, hear me out. 

Do I like bad boy? Yes. I like them. But ofc in cases where the ‘bad boy’ is only the appearance, but inside, he has a kind heart and ofc has to be cute! :) and yes, Ja sung is definitely the bad boy role between the two of them. But here, Ji ho is not the typical ‘good boy’ role too, isn’t? Usually the other one will be the typical good boy, who usually is not cool at all, don’t have the courage to talk to the girl, don’t have the courage to compete with other guys, usually are discipline and wears uniform neatly. But here.. we saw that Ji ho have several ‘bad boy’ attitude. First, we often saw him not wearing his uniform properly (I don’t know tho if this is normal in korean school). In which, he didn’t button up his shirt, just like Ja sung

Second, he doesn’t get scared at all to talk to Si ah, helping her, even he, who usually is very composed, can lose his composure when Ja sung badmouthed Si ah. In episode 14, we can also see that Ji ho doesn’t think twice to take on (or kick) the high schoolers who pick on Si Ah, but Ji ho doesn’t get all cocky. He knows, and he is a smart boy, so ‘okay Si ah we have to run’. In this scene, okay, ofc Ja sung is cool because he can’t drive out like 4-5 boy? Without punching or kicking them, just by threatening them. I think Ja sung is pretty cool in this scene. He has a lot of guts lol.

Next, sorry, but i’m gonna talk about how Ja sung behaves before he likes Si ah. He bullied Ji ho. Okay, I know he reasons behind it, but I can’t just accept it as it is because bullying is still bullying. We don’t know for how long he has done the bullying, and it can scars Si woo a lot. You know, many bullying victim end up having trauma or depressed.Because his pride was hurt, it doesn’t mean that HE CAN DO EVERYTHING HE WANTS. I can’t justify it. At all.

In several scene it also shown that Ja sung is quite temperamental. Okay, he hates Si woo, but does he has the rights to badmouth Da jung and Si ah? He also tried to stab (which can maybe kill) Ji ho, if he wasn’t stopped by Woo young. Now, we can saw the cute side of Ja sung, isn’t it? but PEOPLE DOES NOT CHANGE OVERNIGHT. Who knows when Si ah chooses him, when he is angry or something he can hit Si ah? Again, I’m not trying to antagonize the Ja sung character here, I just tried to state my opinion.

Next, the funny scene of confession (HAHAHA LOL) XD Well as a girl, I WOULD HATE IT SO MUCH if it happens to me. Like what the heck? Should he really confess to the girl with everyone watching? It will only pressures Si ah to accept him!

In conclusion, Ja sung has no rights whatsoever to be with Si ah. Just because he behaves kind of like Woo young (when Si ah is late), but Ji ho still do his part too you know. He willing to run too even if he is not late.

Ji ho also have the guts to fight Ja sung in here too! XD

and here! XD

Well, in general, I stan Ji ho also because he do kabedon like, 2 times? HAHAHA when he helps Si ah he unintentionally do that but.. IT”S CUTE AS HECK (/// _ ///) I’m so relieved that in eps 14 it shown that Si ah choses Ji ho over Ja sung! Ofc Si ah’s feeling matters, but Ji ho REALLY DESERVE SI AH.

Next in eps 15, I think we can expect more of this uwuness between them, and Ji ho forwardness and awkwardness is something to expect too! XD

Thoughts: 18 again (eps 11-12)

There’s so much going on in these 2 episodes. From how Da jung accept the offer to be the MC for the divorce TV show, to how both Woo young and Si ah’s childhood friend (what his name again?) got jealous cuz of the baseball guy XD (sorry i dunno your name). 

Well tbh, I think intriguing part is the divorce show itself. The first couple is about when the wife is kind of bullied by her sister in laws, while the husband act as if it doesn’t matter. And I think the commentator did a really good job in providing the twist in the show, by commenting such mean stuff, and he said it just for the sake of the show lol. But still, it angers me a lot. Especially when he said something like why don’t you endure it LIKE DA HECK MAN! As if the wife gonna endure it for the rest of her life! If I’m in her condition I be you will ask for a divorce right away, or just don’t get married with him in the first place. The second couple.. I think this one is still be fixed? Because the husband willing to search for the truth, and it shocked him so much I guess to hear that his wife have some surgery that he don’t of, BECAUSE OF STRESS.

Okay, I’m a woman, and i’m not trying to be a feminist here etc. But at these 2 cases, I think of course in a relationship both parties should be at fault, but most of it is cuz of the husbands (just for these 2 cases okay). For the first couple, I think the husband is the only person in the household who could provide protection for his wife, either physically or mentally. We can see how their relationship are broken because of HIS FAMILY, not her fam. A Yeah, this really depicted the sentences When you married someone, you don’t only marry one person, but marry the whole family. Yeah, usually trouble comes not from within, but from outside, but not literally outside, like friends etc., but the BIG FAMILY. I bet many teenager this days feels pressured when there is like this supposed-to-be big family gathering, which SUPPOSED to be an event to, you know met after a long time, have a nice chit chat, etc. BUT its an event where parents would attack each other (keep in mind that they may be attacking their own siblings!), or when the parents would try to show off their money or their children. I mean hellow? My achievement is for us! Not for you to show off!.

The second couple. I think for this one, the husband is pretty understable tho. Because the husband is busy at work etc, so he doesn’t do house chores, well i think its pretty understable. But, Its not understable anymore IF, just IF the wife works too. Like, she works, she can do house chores, then you should be able to do it too, right? But in this case we don’t know the details. The most irritating part is that the wife stated that the husband always in a bad mood after going home from work. and this particular habit is what I HATE THE MOST in people. Not only in men, it can also in woman. I don’t really like when people vent out their anger on me. Okay for example my friend is angry with someone then he/she told me about the story, while being angry to his/her friend. Its okay. BUT, when I do nothing wrong and someone suddenly got mad at me because he/she is mad at someone else.. it just. HELL NO I WOULD ACCEPT IT. Cause I’m not the one at fault here. Okay, if you want me to listen to your stories, alright we will arrange the time. If you want me to comfort you, okay just say it, I will try my best. But please don’t vent out you anger on me. Pls keep your head cool, or just told me to scram first so you can cool your head.

18 again vs reLIFE

Well, hi there. I know the title is a little bit misleading, but here me out.

So, remember in episode 10?

The typer with the black nails was revealed as Si Ah’s stalker, which I really don’t expect of. Okay first, remember that the typer’s voice is depicted as a heavy, a man’s voice? I though it was just to trick us, into thinking that the typer is a man, but in fact its a woman. I was so sure that it is a SHE not a HE!! But, then I’m wrong.

I read a lot of people saying that they thought it was Ms Ok. Like.. what? I don't understand why some people thought i was Ms Ok, because i was sure that Ms Ok won't play a really big role here, I meant just in the comedy part, the romance (?) with Deok jin, but not a role that will affect Dae young's fam directly. I mean, why would Ms Ok takes photos of Dae young?

Next the report. OH MY GOSH, THE REPORT IS SOO MISLEADING! At first, I thought it was Dae young who being followed. In which, like in reLIFE manga, I thought it was the accomplice of the man who gave Dae young the tea, which possibly is the cause for Dae young to back to youth again. For some of you who don't know, in reLIFE, there is this experiment where a NEET in their late 20s will be given a pill, which could change their appearance back to those of high schoolers. Then there will be an employee from the company (which conduct the experiment) who will follow the subject around, take photos of them, and TYPE A REPORT OF THE SUBJECT'S DAILY LIFE! So I thought there is some kind of experiment conducted on Dae young, so someone has to make report in him :"). So I was pretty shock to know that it was Si Ah's stalker..

Btw if guys are searching for a nice, slice of life manga, reLIFE is one to go (I’ve just finished it btw so i’m open for chit-chat about it XD)

Unto the next scene, the FUNNIEST SCENE EVER XD. I dunno how many times i rewind this particular scene. Dang. It was .. *lol* The way that Da jung and her mother attack the stalker, and how the police officer close their eyes for it, are really intriguing. I mean like he had done it TWICE! or maybe more. I think I was quite happy for the fact that Da jung and her mother took their anger properly though XD. Not like “Si ah, why’d u come home so late blablblabla” But like “DAMN YOU STALKER I WILL SHATTERED YOU INTO PIECES RIGHT HERE AND NOW” HAHAHA lol its so oddly satisfying. Yeah, people like him should just go and teared into pieces.

This scene was the most heart-breaking so far. How Dae young left because he thought that Da jung’s gonna be happy with this baseball guy. BUT the next next scene when Da jung said to Woo young that she waits for him, like “where are you all this time? I’m waiting for you” OHHHH MY HEART MY SHIP HAS SAILED!!  It just shows how much Da jung still love Dae young, and waiting there, not just pushing him away but wait for him to come and take her again. Then it was end with the long-awaited kiss between Dae young and Da jung. Wow. I’m so happy :(

Thoughts on 18 again: eps 9-10

Finally!! The corruption loop made by the basketball team’s coach is finished. There’s a lot going on in my mind when I watched this episode tho (lol). I think about how il kwon was broken because of his father. How he can succeed as a coach, I mean in my opinion he does LOVE basketball. But his father is the one who made him like that, corrupted.

I'm still extremely sad cuz the fact that il kwon's father, until the very end, until he see HIS OWN SON, behind the bars, looking hopeless but his father still label him as a failure. I mean, il kwon becomes like that because of YOU, dear il kwon's father. He wouldn't be like this if you don't start or join the corruption loop that has been going on there. Yeah, il kwon is a pain in the ass sometimes, but still, he didn't deserve that.

Unto the next, scary event, where Woo young got (or almost?) in a car accident. I don't why, though its not my place too judge, but i wonder. WHY THE HECK HE JUST STAY THERE :") Well though in real life it will happen pretty fast tho so maybe he don't really have the choice to run away or anything, so he can only thinks to at least minimize the danger for the little kid. But still! it's not as heart wrecking as most accident scene that i've seen.

Then again, in episode 10 we can see that Woo young suddenly TURNS INTO DAE YOUNG... As much as i was sad that maybe Lee Do hyun’s role has finished, I was very happy for the fact that Da jung, Si ah, and Si woo come to him, and even hug him. But then.. IT’S ONLY A FREAKIN’ DREAM!!! Oh my gosh, the script writer (+ the rest of the team) sure know how to play with our heart.

Thoughts on 18 again

Anyone here have watched 18 again?

Wow. After a long time watching kdrama that are in the action genre, now I'm watching a comedy genre, a family-related story.

I must say.. WOW. This drama is amazing. Who write the story? Does anyone know? Cuz i think they did a very good job on this one.

Usually, I don't really like a family-centered story, becauseI thought that there would be too much drama in it. But recently, as you guys may realized, that there so many stories whether it's in webtoon or manga, that tell a story about time travel, or may be an isekai genre. I've been interested in those kinda story for a while now, so I decided to watch 18 again.

First thing first. I've been interested in Lee do hyun acting skills since Hotel del Luna. Maybe you guys have watched it too right? (It's an amazing drama btw). He's not all about his looks, isn't it? He has the charm, as well as the aura when he act. I think so far on these 8 episodes, he has been doing pretty well.

It's funny to see the father-daughter relations ship and the father-son relationship, on the 18 years old Hong dae young. I love that this drama has "slap" me a lot, on the fact that a father will do everything to put food on the table. At first, I was wondering why dae young didn't hust pursue his dream as a basketball player, which he is really good at. And maybe his fam can live a happier life? And he will be happier to, right? Doing what he loves. But.. on the recent episodes we saw that Hong dae young was willingly to throw away his dream, because Si woo is sick. At that moment i was like "ah, he needs fast money" i guess. Because even though he is talented, there's no way he can be a pro player in just several weeks right? There will be a long process, maybe 1 year, 2 years, or maybe more. Just like when Ji hoon pursue his dream to become a baseball player. Even reaching the rookie team meeda years to achieved.

Speaking of Ji hoon.. I'm sorry Ji hoon, ut at first I thought that you have an illegitimate child XD hahaha. Well now, I know for sure that you MAYBE are okay for Da jung eonnie. Though.. i would prefer Da jung to get back with Dae young, especially now? She has known his sacrifice, his hard work, working for his loved family. Even until now, when he is back young again, his still still revolve around his family. I love how he love both Si woo and si ah equally. How he look out for both of them, how he give an unbrella to Si ah, but then went back to class juat to put an umbrella on Si woo's table. I love how he wants Si woo to achieve his dream, and I love how he was panicked when he saw Si ah is sick, but acting all tough when he was called by Da jung. With this, somehow i get the reason why husband and wife can argue a lot. A husband usually don't want to pour out their worries, they don't want to look weak in front of their families, not bcs they want to act all high and might, but because a husband wants to be his family's "Safe place"? Where they can depend on him, and where they can hide behind him when they are scared. We noticed that whenever Da jung is worried and can't make decisions, she always want Dae young to guide her on it. When she feels discourage, a few supportive words from Dae young can make her feel she can take on the world again.

But, it's not for the wife PoV. A wife usually wants to share everything with her husband, just as Da jung always do everything openly, and pour her thought openly. That's why, when Da jung found out that Dae young is lying about his work trip, she feel betrayed. Sadly, they only know each other's struggles and sincereness only after they've divorced.

Lastly, the other reason which makes me love this drama is because.. the teenager's struggle are really relatable for me.. as a 20 y.o girl, I have experience their struggle, and even now, i still do. I know how it's much easier to tell someone from your school about your struglle, rather than telling it to your parents. I know our parents would feel betrayed by it, but we just can't tell them. We feel that it would either make their worries added, OR, some parents would just brush it off as some tiny problems. They minimize our struggle. Just like Ja sung's dad, who can't even trust his son nor he cared about his struggles. But, he still came to his match tho, so maybe his dad still care about him after all.. but i wanna know why he chased his wife out of the house tho.. it just not right to do that.

Well anyway, I can say that i feel relatae to Si ah the most, how she kept everything in, how she doesn't want anyone to see her weak side. You know what? Sometimes, after a long, long time, I would suddenly broke down. Why? I don't even know it myself. Bcs i tend to hold everything in, and at some point it accumulates after all. And it explodes. So when I was asked what's made me sad, well i don't know. I don't know which one, which problem that made me like this.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to episode 9! I hope in the end Da jung and Dae young can go back together :)

Midnight thoughts: “how was your day?”

Hi!

I dunno what to do, so I feel like pouring my thoughts here. Today has been such a long day for me. I have pull on an all-nighter last night, for my quizzes today. Though, one of the quiz turned out to be cancelled (ugh). What’s more, I have assignment which deadline is tonight, and I have another presentation the day after tomorrow, and I don't even have the time to prepare for it. Ugh, university life is so hard isn’t it? especially with all this quarantine vibes going on because of the virus. Huft... I haven’t done my hobbies this day, either it is playing games, experiment with my makeup, or dancing. Anyone dances here?

Btw, I just read a novel. I’ve been looking forward to read it, but it turns out to be not my kinda type. You know, a love story between teens, but with some.. I dunno, unstable emotion in it. I’ve gone through it, I was unstable to, even now I AM still kinda unstable, in terms of romance, but somehow I just feel like reading a more mature or even a very2 innocent love is better than reading some teenager fall in love, with each other but without genuine feeling, have a relationship, be a boyfriend and girlfriend, than is interested with other person, cheating, drama, and ended up not being able to reach their dream.. all of it feels pretty weird to me. Why would you throw your life for someone that you don’t even know how much he/she will stay in your life?
