"Full House" - My gateway to a new avenue !

By Jaysleen
I first started watching Korean dramas back in 2008. In these past 3 years, I have educated myself enough to understand a lot more than what i started out with. The very first drama I started out with was "Full House". No, its not the one with the Olsen twins. This one stars Rain. Incase you are wondering, he stars in the movie "Ninja Assassin". Also stars Song Hye-Kyo.


For those who love stories revolving around marriage of conveniences, "Full House", is definitely your piece of cake. Popular Actor marries poor homeless girl for respectability while the talented spunky poor girl marries spoilt, arrogant, broody for her home. This is the perfect recipe for a Love story. Obviously, no story is complete without a little competition. In walks in second hero, who obviously loves the girl. And everyone one earth is wondering what she is doing with mean, angry hero when second hero is more of a prince charming. The spunky girl seems to lose her spunk after she falls for the broody actor and omg, how could i forget, the willowly second heroine who decides to stick to married hero like glue.
 Things progress on much as expected and you end up with a happy ending.

Reading the typical storyline, you would believe that this is a waste of time. you have seen it all and heard it all. But wait my friends! Korean dramas have a way of getting you addicted without your own knowledge. I was totally enthralled. the pace of the drama was good. within 16 episodes, the story was done. towards the end, the drama started to lose its awesomeness, but the journey was definitely good.

The Actors were really good. They believe in subtlety and it was this wonderful mixture of decent drama pace, good and popular actors, small funny moments that made this Drama into a mega hit.

These were my thoughts in 2008. Since then, I have watched many more dramas and movies which have opened up a completely new avenue of knowledge I never had before. Stay tuned, as i talk about more such amazing movies and must watch dramas.

Do let me know your thoughts on this blog. My first attempt at voicing out my random thoughts!

Gu Family Book - Season 2 Questions Answered

By Jaysleen
The Finale of the hit KDrama, The Gu Family Book or Kang Chi, The Beginning left lot of things unanswered. I for one was fuming and you can see my review of the Gu Family book Here.   Incase you want to know the short version of my rant, its that I have never felt this unsatisfied and betrayed by any drama till date.  Anyhow, though I was not able to find the source, I did read in one of the forums of how the writer had started out the series with a Season 2 in mind. However, this aint happening! :( This might be why the story felt more like the beginning rather than a whole package. But this is my speculation.  But what is not speculation is that the Production house have decided not to have a season 2 for the Gu Family Book... yet. Things might change and I hope to God that they do. But until then, I am left with FanVids of Gu Family Book 2.

Gu Family Book - The end or just the beginning?

By Jaysleen
Now that the drama, “Gu Family Book” or “Kang Chi, The beginning” has ended, I have loads of things to say about the drama, not all of them good. So lets start off. Be warned Spoilers Ahead.  First of all, the ending was One Shocker. I am not really the crying sort but this drama, especially Lee Seung gi made me feel like this while watching the finale... Once the drama ended, I was like this. Not sure cause now I have to find a new purpose on Mondays and Tuesday or if the finale brought this on. I had wondered why the drama has such diverse names : "Gu Family book" and "Kang Chi, the beginning". Where they thinking of a season 2? I am not sure. But what I am sure of is that the Gu Family Book plot which seemed to be the focal point in the first couple episodes was brought up very rarely as episodes went on, usually when people didn't have anything to say. Ok, I am exaggerating. Moving on. There also seemed to be story-lines that seemed...

Healer - Kim Moon Shik's Evolution to the Dark Side.

By Jaysleen
The problem with watching a drama like Healer is that it spoils you for all other dramas. You start having expectations so high that from there on only a handful of dramas are able to fulfll them. I started watching Healer seeing its similarity to City Hunter but expect for a few details, Healer is more satisfying a drama and much better scripted keeping the suspense and the fun till the end. All characters are well written, but the most interesting of them is Kim Moon Shik (KMS). When starting out this drama, I was certain that KMS was the villain. The PD did the awesome job of maintaining the mystery of the 1992 incident up until episode 18 which was primarily the reason it took me this long to actually figure out KMS's motive. We all know he did not start off as the bad guy but somewhere down the lane, lost his path.  Up until episode 17, we see flashes of the past that gives us hints of Moon Shik's love for his friend's girlfriend. We were lead to assume th...
