Bride of the century

Country of origin: Korea

Episodes: 16 (ongoing)

Recommendation: WATCH -YES (9 out of 10, 1 - bad, 10-excellent)

Synopsis:  The rich family has a curse  -  the first bride of the family's first son has to  die. So when the eldest son has to marry - his mom, his mother-in-law and all people around him will be involved. And he falls in love..what happens then?

My remarks:

Great: 

1 cold guy with a cold heart

Kang Joo is a a heartless person...even the beutiful presents he gives to his fiencee are used to do business..He doesn't trust..he doesn't love..he doesnt show any emotions...untill he meets her...

I am a big fan of those kind of stories, where it takes a lot off effort to melt man's heart...

2. And then you can see his heart slowly melting...

through all this weird funny situation...cats, strange food, fast kisses and many many other..

3. Main girl is actig well..she is not in love initially, so she just behaves naturally..doesn''t want a kiss..argues with him, hurts him...

and she is funy sometimes..just sometimes is enough to add some funny things to drama and great love story)

"What's the use of wearing high-end brands, when a person should be high-end inside?"

4. the ghost part..which is going to kill our bride...she is both scary and make story intresting..

Do you want to be his bride, even if it ends your life?

5. balance between romance and fun

This drama has a really good balance between romantic part and fun.

We have kisses, broken hearts, pain and then funny cake eating contests..cats..and funny situations.

Bad:

1. sometimes predictable...you know this sweet moments...
when she falls from the wall..he is gonna catch her, right?
basically they reused many of popular romantic moments...but still kept them sweet..so can be accepted)

2. the main girl is this kind of poor girl with good heart..
too many dramas with same idea.. maybe i watched far too many ...
not too bad..but just sometimes i skipped some parts.

Recommendation : I gave this tv-series 9 points out of 10, which is very very rare for me. It is a great drama, with intresting plot. Full of love, tears, hurt and the same time funny and lovely. The main guy is cute and adorable, and the story of melting his heart is cute. Definitly worth watching))) 

Where to watch: Drama.net is really good and they upload quite fast, with eng subtitles. http://www.drama.net/watch/bride-of-the-century

I will be glad to hear any comments,

Enjoy and be in love,

Bu Bu Jing Qing (or Bu Bu Jing Xin 2) review

Country of origin: China

Episodes: 35? (airing now)

Reccomendation: WATCH -YES or no...I hope yes..but we will see...

Synopsis:  Basically the idea is a modern version of Bu Bu Jin Xin. When Zhang Xiao get back to her time, she meets the guy, who looks like 4th prince..so Nicky Wu is reincarnated as an adopted son of Zhentian group and Znang Xiao is working there. But..and here is but...she lost her memories...So we can expect a power struggles, many romantic scenes and some new plot twists.

Bu Bu Jing Xin...is so far my favourite chinese drama. Though I usually prefer to watch korean series, but this one is really special. Unlike many of others chinese series I watched, it has a clever plot, super romantic story and a very unique ending. Yes, amazing, loving, exciting...no matter if you are korean series fun, or you have just started your journey with asian dramas...you most probably (99%) will enjoy it...Watch it, if you haven't...

Yesterday...yes only yesterday I found out, that they already filmed the sequel...Bu Bu Jing Qing...oh my god...and going to show it up so very very soon…No wonder I got super super excited...though I feel that I am almost the last person to find out about that...hahaa..

                  

As I am kind of super-excited fun...I read many blogs, watched videos and read  different reviews...so here are my hopes, ideas and small expectations. P.S. if you haven't wathed the trailer - here it is with eng subtitles.

My first hope..I really really hope...we gonna get a happy ending. Yes, please..Do not dissapoint me this time. Though the ending last time was so clever and made me believe, that everything will turn right..Now if they decided to prolong my happiness, they must do well and can't dossapoint viewers. 

Also one point that is very intresting...are they going to follow the plot of Bu Bu Jing Xin and modernize it, or they gonna create a new story? So far as  I looked the trailer and some pics..I think both...and that's what most exciting in it. It looks like they are going to pick up our most favorite scenes and plot lines and twist it in a new way...so we both can enjoy the old favorite scenes and the same time meet with new things, problems and lots of love...

Here is the rain scene...yes, yes, yes...I super loved it last time...and have a feeling I will not be dissappointed this time too.

And do you remember this guy? He looks very cute here))) Our 10th prince gonna look quite handsome this time. And I guess he will stay a very funny and nice character in this drama.

I can't say, that I really like the trailer…actually I feel it is too serious...and the power struggle is gonna be far too much.. also the first part set the standards very high...but when I think about love..their love..I still hold on a hope that it will be all right...and in any case...I am gonna watch each and every episode..

And let me add some sugar in the end...Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi are couple in real life…and I hope it will affect the series even more...bringing us very romantic and unforgettable drama.

I will add more information, posts and comments as soon as it is aired and translated to english.

P.S. Do you have other ideas? Or do you want to share your opinion? Please do so! 

Immortal Classic

Country of origin: Korea, 2012

Episodes: 20

Reccomendation: WATCH -YES (6 out 10, 1-bad -10-excellent)

Synopsis: the story is about traditional korean family and their traditional recipes book, which was passed from one generation to another. This is the story of 2 families. First family runs the restaurant. Hwang Geum Hee is from the first family, she is an oriental doctor, who has a long-friendship with Oh Gun Woo and eventually meets Kim Sung Joon from the 2 family. Then she starts to work in the hospital, owned by 2 family. Here starts the the story of  grown-ups love, their support and hardships. All this is accompanied by misunderstandings, greed, hurt and forgiveness stories through whole drama.

My remarks:
Good: 

1. the love story between Hwang Geum Hee and Kim Sung Joon is touching and has a really good plotting from the beginning to the end. From their first meeting and different occasion we can see how they slowly develop their feelings and support each other. I especially like how Kim Sung Joon is straight-forward in his feelings.

2. You can see a lot of different korean food..mmm...I'd love to try some.

3. We have a main bitch of the story...quite an evil one...and of course is panished properly. She is played very well, you will start to hate her from the very beginning.

4. I honestly loved character of Kang San Hee's husband - he is very nice, sweet and brave

Bad:

1. Feels like some mexican series sometime - half-brothers, adopted kids and 4 generations in 1 story. Honestly I skipped parts a lot, cause get bored of that.

2. Too much about food...it is fine to see the results, but I got pretty bored of explanatons of tates of different things..

3. There is just 1 love story, no support couple. I am quite disspointed that Kim Huan Myang didn't get someone to love.

4. The end is kind of unsettling...It isn't sad...but we didn't see wedding or hot kisses from the main couple.

Couple of great photoes:

Recommendation : I gave this tv-series 6 points out of 10, it is worth watching, because of the very sweet and mature love story...and nice to see how korean food looks like.

Where to watch: Viki is amazing as usual - 13 languages and all drama is already translated http://www.viki.com/channels/7360-immortal-classic

Have fun,

He Ting Yu falls in one-sided love...Chen Hai Jie can't forget his ex-girlfirend Alice, who is from Japan looking for her past and mysteries.

My remarks:
Good: 
1.He Ting Yu is played by Aaron Yan...he is so handsome and sad in this drama...And  the beginning of his one-sided love makes it even more attractive and addictive to watch.

2. You are getting quite addicted to watch after relationship of He Ting Yu and Lan Die Fei, their story both beautiful, sad and attractive. And they have quite a good plot twists.

Bad:

1. The name of the drama doesn't make any sense...

2. The story between Chen Hai Jie and Alice is boring...honestly boring....I skipped around 80% of it

Couple of great photoes:

Recommendation : I gave this tv-series 7 points out of 10, it is definitly worth watching...the love story is addictive and Aaron is super sexy...just remeber - don't get bored because of the second couple...skip it if they piss you off..

Where to watch: Viki is amazing as usual - 18 languages and all drama is already translated http://www.viki.com/channels/6939-give-alice-a-miracle
