Korean Actors and Military Service - Our Reactions!

They say time flies. Try telling that to a K-Drama fan whose favorite actor has gone off to military service. I know it is mandatory. But sounds of breaking hearts and heart wrenching sobs somehow just follows the announcement. 

It happens all the time. I know... I need to come to terms with it. But all I do is two years spent viewing old photos of our hero, watching his old dramas and searching through forums and blogs on any news about him.

For those who are new to this event in the K-Drama world, every Korean actor has to undergo military service for 2-3 years. Sometimes, they are let go because of health issues but they can always undertake community service.

Once they are back is a whole new different story. From boys they have become men and not to mention that six pack we get to see... (Melting!!!)

So here is a compilation of reactions when we miss our Korean Actors for 2 years.

You visit your blog or forum an  read the title.



Then you click on that title and read through and realise... you are not going to be seeing him for 2 years!

  

You want to share your pain, so you go to Soompi and its Group Hug time!


 You wonder how two years would pass without watching his new drama or CFs


 In the meantime, you watch his old dramas and sigh at his good looks 


and when you are moody, you become overly critical of his acting skills.


You watch new dramas , get excited and without you realizing it time flies. 

And then that day arrives when he comes back - which means more CFs, more dramas, more interviews 



And the balance is restored again


Hope you enjoyed  my reactions. Please do tell me how you'd react. Share your thoughts in the comment box below.

Gu Family Book - Season 2 Questions Answered

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. 

10 Best Scenes of Goblin: The Lonely and Great God 도깨비

If you are an avid Goblin addict then you must be flipping tables 'cause of the cancelled episode. But I am calming myself down by telling myself that there are 3 episodes next week. That's right episode 15 and 16 will be back to back! Just another 5 days to go! Goblin made me realize that 1 knight in shining armour is never enough ;) But enough about my fantasies and let's go down to the best scenes from Goblin. Note: I have seen many, many previews and trailers but I have to say that Goblin trailers and preview do not do justice to the drama. While watching the promos, I was hardly motivated to watch the drama if not for Gong Yoo. Same goes for the previews. Thank the Goblins, I decided to watch this explosive series.  It was manically difficult for me to make this list. But I finally got it down to the most meaningful scenes 10. Photo Time: If you ignore the product placement of Canon, the feels in this scene can make you smile. Taking photos usually means tra...

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

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...
