Appreciating Nice Guy Finale

image from dramabeans.com

I don't know how you watch a drama, a Kdrama. For me I watch it as it is, and refuses to understand every detail and for me that is entertainment, less use of brain cells. However, as I frequently read dramabeans' recaps and my co-readers comments, I somehow see the need of watching into certain details of the drama, analyze it or even worse, rewrite the ending. For me that is not entertainment anymore. Or maybe I just lack analytical skills? is that bad?

[SPOILERS]

Anyway, Nice Guy, ended last Thursday and I want a happy ending. Kang Maru is such a nice guy to simply end up dead as a resolution for his character and Eun-gi live a sad life to simply have her love of her life dead. I just realized that only one person died in this drama, just the president.

The bad guys ended up in jail that in this drama crimes seems to have a lesser year of punishment. I was about not to watch the remaining quarter of the finale for my heart is already sore. Seeing Kang Maru, bleeding to death and lying on cold pavement with nobody around. I still wish to know some other details like most readers commented and even the writer of the recap, WHAT HAPPENED TO TAESAN? 

Surely, Eun-gi is not the president as she is now a shop owner of a rather not so nice pastries. Just finishing up that sentence makes me wanna go to dramacrazy and watch the last quarter of episode 20 for the happy ending part is rather short, though I am still satisfy, but I want more. The drama used amnesia sparingly here. Atty. Park while in coma made me think "Oh, he will donate something to Maru, for Maru to live" but realized that Maru needs a new brain or something. Not an eye, heart or kidney. It will be nice to see Eun-gi sensed that something is so wrong with Kang Maru and rushed back to him and seeing Kang Maru almost dead but she managed to bring him to the hospital and as he gain his consciousness, asked "Who are you?" to Eun-gi and his vision blurred only hearing Eun-gi screaming at him "It's me Kang Maru, Eun-gi-ya, let's run away..." 

happy ending!

Still I like the ending for it gave us a happy ending, seeing them in a peaceful countryside. We don't know how long Kang Maru had his memories back. But it doesn't matter for its back. The child which I initially thought to be their daughter, for it the name is "Kang". I am thinking, maybe one of the side effects, were remembering then, forgetting. Maybe at one point they have a kid, then eventually forgets everything, then remembering again... hahaha!

I forgot about the ring. So he had it all along. Such a nice background, and I wonder where it could be? As I wrote my FB status this morning (I finished watching at 4 am) I am with a big smile. I am so happy for Nice Guy, Song Joong Ki. Daebak!

Liking it! - Full House Take 2

Okay, seeing that promo picture of Full House Take 2, a supposedly sequel of the famous (the one that hooked me deeper into Kdrama) Full House (Rain, Song Hye Kyo and Kim Sung Soo). I so love that show that I even patronized the Filipino adaptation of it, and even with the actors that I least expect that I will like to see even appealed to me. So its either the show itself or the actors but I am betting on the show. I tried to see the same actors (referring to the Pinoy version) on a different show and they did not appeal to me at all.

And so such a show, Full House that is, has really an impact just on its name alone, and we all know everybody would still want to benefit to the popularity of Full House, thus naming a show Full House 2 will surely get some attention. Well thats how I view this Full House Take 2. With the CURLY hair and a blonde Park Ki Woong, I'd said to myself that I'll pass on it and I will not be lured by the Full House tag, let alone with Park Ki Woong that I begin to love and hate in Gaksital. The delayed broadcast of the said show added to my I'm-not-gonna-see-that-drama judgement but how many times we are wronged with our judgement? Hehe. And this is a classic example, because I am liking it! In fact I finished all 7 episodes of it rather 3.5. Its like one episode was split into two 30-minute show.

I found myself laughing, and appreciated the characters Lee Tae-ik and Kang-hwi and of course Man-ok. I liked more because it let me have a thought on how the idols live which I pity at times, that the hallyu stars/idols are doing a lot for the fans but.. but..but I paid a lot of money also, nah we are even! hahaha!

Tae-ik is so Tae-kyungesque, ish whatever suffix you want to use for the likeness of their character and Kang-hwi is kinda Jeremy-like, bubbly and helps the heroine a lot (or maybe just the hair ). And yes they are from You're Beautiful.

So if you are kinda hesitant to give Full House Take 2 a try because of the hairstyle, give it a try, you might enjoy the show as much as I do now.

Hello!

Well, hello meh blog! Its really difficult to have one a blog that is, even if you don't have any followers. Its like a pet or plant that needs to be nourished. I blame wordpress for not being able to continue to blog, my blog life was ruined by simply posting links in which I didn't know is a crime in the blogosphere.

Yeah, still some bitterness there.

So, I've been busy with SHINee, I officially own a SHINee album! Its my first non-CNBLUE album. I thought that my Kpop expenditures will be just CNBLUE and its not anymore. I have the following to buy in Korea (its cheaper there right?):

• SHINee's first album
• 2PM Hands Up and probably a concert DVD
• SNSD album
• DBSK's Mirotic
• and other CNBLUE albums

Its roughly 5 months from now, I'll be there in April and hope that cherry blossoms will not disappoint me and a wish for Odie, my trip partner that we'll get to experience Kpop or a CNBLUE concert.

I've been busy putting up an online shop which I don't know why nobody told me that its not a walk in a park. Hehe. I've been into purchasing things online and realized that since I like to do it and sometimes people asked me to buy for them, I thought of making a little profit myself. Together with a partner, we decided to simply invest 100 USD each. What we want is to simply have what we like for ourselves to be free and get our capital. I will (I hope) will post my online shopping woes and hopes to enlighten someone out there.

[SPOILERS]

Oh I almost forgot, why the image there. I am currently watching Nice Guy or Innocent Guy or more literally,  There is no such thing as good guy in the world... hehe well something like that. I like to call it "Nice Guy" for a) Song Joong Ki is NICE! and b) Song Joong Ki is NICE! Well actually, the drama is nice rather good. Such melodrama mechanisms of Kdramas are all there, and if you've been with Kdrama for a long time, your eyes will roll over a synopsis of "amnesia" and the whole chaebol shenanigans. I hated it in Roof Top Prince that I didn't even bother to finish it. Even last year hit sageuk drama, Moon/Sun was not spared of the "amnesia" thingy and I think that is here to stay as far as Kdrama is concerned. The drama, a melodrama for that matter will not be so heart wrenching if there is no amnesia. However, in Nice Guy, I kinda root for it as what they say in dramabeans, it played a nice touch, and was inserted well. My heart swell in sorrow on Eun-gi's and Ma-ru's life. Now the writer is known for a tragic ending, which up to this point I like to brush off the idea that Kang Ma Ru might end up dead. And I will end up crying. The scene where in he vomited, I just thought of it as he finds what he did revolting and it is revolting enough to puke. Its nice that one case that he dealt with when he was on med school was the same thing that he got right now.

I even wrote on the CD where I burned the episodes that I am watching "CRY". I don't know why I want to cry nowadays. Even Ohlala Couple makes me cry. Another drama that I am seeing. Great actors and great way to understand married life. I was taken aback with the idea that Yeok is pregnant and with that her husband started to feel different now. In which, again the unborn baby uniting them, like the first time, he marries her because she is pregnant and now they will work things out because of the baby, in which for me is wrong (hello doing it for the second time, being together for the wrong reasons) 

Have to remind myself that I am just watching a drama, and just have myself entertain.
