I'm Not a Robot ~ Intro and Episode 1 Review



I'm Not a Robot


MAIN CAST

Yoo Seung-ho
as Kim Min-kyu

Chae Soo-bin
as Jo Ji-ah

Um Ki-joon
as Hong Baek-kyun

PLOT

Kim Min-kyu is a lonely playboy who has a rare and horrible allergy to...HUMANS! When he comes in contact with a person, he breaks out into a horrible rash that spreads over his body. A robotics professor created a robot that was almost lifelike to help Min-kyu with his loneliness.


 EPISODE 1 REVIEW

First off let me ask, HOW CAN SOMEONE SO HOT BE ALLERGIC TO HUMANS? That would be my luck. Find the man of my dreams, perfect in every way and I can't touch him. Well come to think of it, that is kind of my life now! LOL

In this episode he goes through great lengths not to touch people or even interact with them. He has others buy items for him, he wears gloves in case he does happen to have contact with other humans and even carries around a police baton.

The only thing cuter than Min-kyu was the little robot he had to follow to get to the actual robot!!




What did you think of the first episode? Catchy? Not sure? I am in that not sure phase right now.

Until next episode...

Strongest Deliveryman ~ Intro



Hello to all of my Kdrama lovelies! 

Starting a new drama today called "Strongest Deliveryman" Have you started it yet?

Am I the only one who hates starting a new drama? And then, after you start it, you don't want it to end because one, you love it and two then you will have to start another drama later? It is a horrible cycle! haha

On to the intro!!

Strongest Deliveryman aired on August 4, 2017. It will be 16 episodes long which is pretty much the norm for Kdramas. You can watch this drama on KBS2 every Friday or Saturday night OR you can watch this in Dramafever if you have a Premium account. (If you do not have one, I HIGHLY recommend that you get it)

DRAMA DESCRIPTION

*credit to Dramafever*

 Go Kyung Pyo (Flower Boy Next Door, Jealousy Incarnate) and Chae Soo Bin(Moonlight Drawn by Clouds) star in a drama about two people who find both love and success, but only after lifting some heavy burdens. When two fearless and dedicated delivery workers are born without a silver spoon in their mouths, they are convinced to overcome their obstacles and make it to the top.

Choi Kang Soo (Go Kyung Pyo) is a deliveryman. In spite of his humble beginnings, Choi Kang Soo is fearless and gives it all in everything he does. He dreams of becoming a CEO of a delivery app company someday, but life just throws more than a few roadblocks in his way. Lee Dan Ah (Chae Soo Bin) is another delivery worker. She hates her current socioeconomic status so much that she, like many young people, calls her country “Hell Joseon.” Lee Dan Ah is so focused on making money and changing her life that she has no time for men. But when she comes across the charming Choi Kang Soo, her attitude is due to be moved.

Together, Choi Kang Soo and Lee Dan Ah have a budding competition and romance in their quest for glory. And, for them, glory means being like rich folk Lee Jin Yoon (Go Won Heefrom Tabloid Truth) and Oh Jin Gyoo (Kim Sun Ho from Chief Kim). They compete to conquer life but, as our two delivery workers soon learn, being the strongest does not guarantee sucess.

Sounds interesting huh?

Boys over Flowers - Episode 3 review




First off let me sincerely apologize for my lack of writing lately. I have been extremely busy with exams but I am back and hopefully will not have any interruptions for awhile. Thank you for your patience.

This episode begins with a recap of the ending of the last episode where Jan Di walks back into the party.

Ji Hoo gives his hand to Jan Di asking her to dance. At first she is hesitant but then she shyly agrees. Jun Pyo is not happy that he asked her to dance first.



While dancing, Jan Di looks like she is floating on air. Ji Hoo looks slightly annoyed until we see that she is standing on his shoes as they dance. Jun Pyo can not watch them dance so he storms out of the party. Outside he throws another one of his temper tantrums and starts throwing and kicking around stuff (someone needs a time-out...or a spanking! hehe)

Back inside the party, Ji Hoo and Min Seo Hyun are dancing while Jan Di is sitting and watching. She can no longer watch them so she gets up to leave the party as well. Jun Pyo is sitting by the pool and he spots what looks like a cricket on a chair. it jumps on his head and he goes crazy trying to get it off. (Ok so we now really know that he is afraid of any bugs...I feel your pain Jun Pyo!) While he is thrashing around trying to get if off of him, he falls into the pool. Jan Di at that moment is walking down the stairs and hears a splash. She thinks nothing of it until she hears someone screaming for help. Someone runs back to the party to alert everyone that Jun Pyo has fallen into the pool. Everyone runs. The mean girls do not understand but Ji Yung tells them that the great Jun Pyo can not swim. When they reach him, Jan Di has already pulled Jun Pyo from the pool and is attempting CPR. (why has no one called for an ambulance? Everyone is just standing there!) Jan Di starts giving Jun Pyo mouth to mouth resuscitation. After a few tries Jun Pyo's eyes pop open!



He tries to pull Jan Di in for a kiss but she starts pulling away and screaming (she is nuts! haha) He quickly sits up with a big smile on his face. It doesn't last long because Jan Di punches him in the face!!

Jun Pyo wakes up the next day in a great mood and even decides to go to school early. He mentions the great weather they are having (It is storming outside)

Now we see why he was up early and in such a great mood. He was planning more things for Jan Di. She goes to open the door to the pool and the handle is covered in some sort of clear gel like stuff. When she finally gets to the pool, it is filled with ducks!! Jun Pyo is watching from his "clubhouse" and laughing as he sees Jan Di go into a rage.

Once again we return to the fairy tale setting of Ji Hoo playing his violin in the forest. This time it is snowing which just adds to the magical effect. As he is playing the violin, a string breaks. He throws the violin down on the bench. Jan Di just so happens to be walking by and sees Ji Hoo. She sees that he is bleeding from the cut made by the broken string and kneels down to wrap his finger. He pulls away but she tells him that she will leave after she is done. The mean girls are hiding in the bushes recording the two. (CREEPERS)


Before Jan Di leaves she opens her umbrella and places it over the violin to protect it from the snow.

Jun Pyo is relaxing in a raft at the pool that Jan Di practices at. (OK first off how did he get in there without any help or getting wet and also he is there alone and CAN NOT SWIM...what would he do if he accidentally fell in? Not so smart Jun Pyo!)



He hears footsteps and thinks it is Jan Di when actually it is the mean girls coming to show him the video of Ji Hoo and Jun Pyo together. The look on Jun Pyo's face tells the girls that he is mad although we know it is because he is upset and hurt. When the girls bad mouth Jan Di, he tells them to shut up and breaks the camera.





Jan Di runs back to the "magical forest" in hopes to find Ji Hoo. He is not there. When she turns around she is confronted by Jun Pyo. She tries to walk away but he grabs her arm. After talking for a few minutes, Jun Pyo once again tries to kiss Jan Di. She starts screaming and pulling away again. (I seriously need to have a talk with this girl!) He lets her go, asks her if she really hates him that much and walks off.

Jan Di receives an invitation to Min Seo Hyun's birthday party. her parents are excited and go down to the Dry Cleaners (that they own) to look for a dress for her to wear. They are upset that they can not give Jan Di a suitable dress. A woman arrives with a package for Jan Di from Min Seo Hyun. Inside is a dress for her to wear to the party.

Jan Di arrives at the party and gathers with the members of the F4 minus Ji Hoo. Ji Yung and Woo Bin talk about how well Jan Di looks but Jun Pyo puts her down. Ji Hoo and Min Seo Hyun come out to greet the guests. Ji Hoo plays "Happy Birthday" to Min Seo Hyun on his violin while her giant birthday cake is set in front of her.




Ji Hoo leaves the room and Min Seo Hyun tells everyone that she is leaving Korea to go to Paris and she will not be returning.

Min Seo Hyun finds Ji Hoo in a room playing with a puppet she gave him a long time ago. He gets mad and throws it and tells her that he feels like he is being thrown away also. She tries to tell him that he has feelings for Jan Di but he does not want to hear it. he rushes to her and tells her he wants to be with her. She hugs him and afterwards they share a kiss.



Jan Di is standing at the door and witnesses the kiss. She quietly closes the door and steps away. Jun Pyo finds her outside of the door and teases her. Ji Hoo and Min Seo Hyun come out and tells them they are going for a drive and ask if she wants to come along. Jun Pyo saves Jan Di by telling them they were going for a drive as well.

Jun Pyo takes Jan Di to a bar that he rented for the night. He tells her that she is the only girl he has ever approved of. Both of them get flustered and Jun Pyo gets up to go to the restroom while Jan Di downs some alcohol. When he returns, Jan Di is drunk and starts saying all kinds of crazy things. She goes to tell him that the only way to repay him for everything is kiss him but she ends up throwing up on him instead.

Jun Pyo takes Jan Di to his house for the night. Shortly after she wakes up, the steward comes to alert Jun Pyo that the witch (Jun Pyo's mother) has arrived. Jun Pyo calls in the other members of the F4 to help him out. They dress Jan Di up and tell the witch that she is a friend from school. She is very skeptical of the girl. They are holding a yearly auction at the house and the witch reminds everyone that they are to take part in it. During the auction Jan Di sees a pair of swimming goggles that belonged to a famous Olympic swimmer. Jun Pyo sees that Jan Di really likes them and secretly bids on them. He gives them to her before she leaves. When she gets home she puts the goggles in the place that she once had Ji Hoo's handkerchief in.

Everyone is realizing that Ji Hoo is depressed. Jan Di goes looking for him where she first met him and then finds him in the "magical forest" playing the violin and crying.



Jan Di goes to the pool where she finds Min Seo Hyun. She came to tell her goodbye. Ji Hoo sees Min Seo Hyun's car outside of the pool house and finds the two talking. Jan Di gets on her knees and begs her not to leave, saying that if she goes Ji Hoo may never smile again. Ji Hoo listens secretly behind a wall. In the middle of Jan Di pleading Min Seo Hyun to stay, he turns around and leaves. Min Seo Hyun picks Jan Di up and tells her why she must leave and asks her to make Ji Hoo smile again. She then gives Jan Di a pair of shoes.

As Jan Di is walking home she is confronted by Ji Hoo who is mad because of what Jan Di has done. Jan Di tries to tell him why she did it but Ji Hoo does not care and tells Jan Di to get lost. 

****************************************

Is it me or is Jun Pyo just a grade school kid in a man's body? He picks on Jan Di and is mean to her because he likes her. That is so elementary! What is crazy is that it seems to work no matter what age they are. You can tell by the look on Jan Di's face after she puts the goggles away that she could possibly like Jun Pyo.

I am kind of upset that Min Seo Hyun is leaving. I am not sure what they would have done with her but she only got to play a small part in this drama. 


I hope you are enjoying this BLAST FROM THE KDRAMA PAST! Thanks for reading!

Boys Over Flowers - Episode 1 Review



Boys over Flowers is one of the GREATEST K-Dramas of all time (which is why I am picking it first to review). 

BoF debuted on January 5, 2009. Sadly it only lasted 25 episodes and ended on March 31, 2009. If you have already watched this show, I think you will agree with me that it could have gone on FOREVER and still I would never get tired of it. If you have not seen it yet...where have you been?


Storyline


 There is this school for rich people called Shinhwa (don't you just love that name?) Only the very lucky get to attend this school. At this school, there is a group of what I would call "The Untouchables". The group is actually called the F4. They pretty much run the school and the girls go NUTS over them. You will see why in a few. A dry cleaner's daughter gets the chance of a lifetime to attend this school. She is not rich and not pretty. When she sees the things that go on in the school and how the F4 treats everyone, she speaks out which causes her to be the target of the whole school. She finds herself attracted to one of the members of the F4 and when the school turns on her, he helps her out whenever he can. The leader of this group really has it out for her but after he sees that she endures whatever he dishes out, he starts to change his ways and falls for her. They go through many obstacles, including his mother keeping them apart and trying to destroy her life. In the end, will love concur all?

(F4 member's "Don Juan")


He is adorable and wait till you hear him talking in English, it is too cute!!

Kim Bum as So Yi Jung

WHO'S READY FOR SOME KDRAMAS?






I may have posted about this a long, LONG time ago but I want to start again and actually stick to it this time!! I need encouragement!! Especially if I don't want Has Shanea to take over my spot!! GRRRR

Anyway, I am about to take you on a wild journey through the past and into the present with some AMAZING Kdramas. I am going to start WAY back to a drama that is usually everyone's first drama. You guessed it. Boys Over Flowers. Why might you ask? Because there are MANY others who have never watched it or any other Kdrama for that matter. Shocking right??


I know, I know. It is ok though...we will get them all on our side eventually.

I do want to say that I don't know how often I will write my blogs. I am going to try to do it regularly but I am in the last 6 months of school and things are a bit crazy so please be patient with me.

Also, my lovelies, it would help a GREAT deal if you could give me feedback. Let me know if I am doing a good job. Tell me if there is something I am missing or something you would like to see more or less of. Got a Kdrama suggestion? Leave me a comment!! I love hearing from our readers and it helps give me that little boost to keep going.

Much love to all and I hope you enjoy!
