sunshine award – Kdrama edition

 

Thanks to Joni, I have something to blog about! YAY!  I’ve been super busy working two jobs, the days when I would lay on the floor staring at the ceiling are long gone now and I don’t miss those days. I do miss blogging though, maybe after the holiday rush I will get back into it (famous last words).

Here are her questions :

What was the first Korean drama you ever watched and why did you give it a try?

Oh wow, let me think, that was such a long time ago, so many dramas ago. I think it was Big. It has such a great cast (Gong Yoo) and I, to my embarrassment now, absolutely loved it, like giddy stupid grin on my face loved it. Now that I look back, twas a silly show and the ending was………well a kdrama ending. Despite the ridiculous plot twists it was still a decent show that made me feel lots of feels. I gave it a try because I was into kpop and I have always loved foreign films since I was a little kid.

Do you cry during Kdramas- and if so, what was the last show/scene (without big spoilers) you were watching when you got a little teary?

hmm cry? Not really. Lots of Dramas have made me sad and left me feeling down for days afterward but not cry.  I have cried, like all out balling, tears and snot, after watching the Korean movie, Taegukgi.

^ That was me after that movie.

What is the largest amount of consecutive episodes have you watched in one sitting? 

haha I think it was Creating Destiny, one of my favorites despite the fact that it was ten episodes too long. Oh man the couple in that one was the best; watching their relationship grow and blossom was beautiful. I may have stayed up till the wee hours of the morning watching it by myself.

What Kdrama would you recommend to a newbie?

That would depend on the person. City Hunter, Flower Boy Ramen Shop. Flower Boy Next Door is one I watched with someone who had never seen a kdrama and she liked it a lot!

Second Male Lead all the way, for reals.

Name two dramas that you’ve started but never finished.

There are more then two but the first that comes to mind are Gu Family Book, waaay to many slow motion scenes with inner dialogue! And Bread, Love and Dreams waaay to much grown men crying. GET IT TOGETHER MAN! I would have finished it, there were some elements that I loved about it, namely Joo Won, but it was just too much for me, I found myself yelling at the tv every night.

What Korean drama character’s wardrobe do you want for yourself?

Gil Ra Im from Secret Garden, not to flashy and frilly. She has a tomboy/street style that I like and that’s the first time I saw high heeled sneakers, it sounds like a dumb idea but trust me, it works.

I already have that outfit so it’s not really a wish, I guess I wish I had more of it! 😛

 

Is there something (food/location/etc) that you’ve seen in a drama that you would like to experience for yourself?

All the food I see in dramas that look good, I have made or bought at the Korean store, it really is my favorite kind of food, eat it all the time. I really like their apartments, even the roof top apartments; I think it would be neat to have an apartment influenced by Korean design.

Such a simple design.

What kind of drama would you like to see done that you don’t feel they’ve done yet OR what story/book/non-Korean show would you like to seen made into a Korean drama?

oh wow.  They’ve done just about everything, it’s hard to think of something. Maybe a futuristic sci-fi.  I know there was some “sci-fi” ones out there but I mean a serious, legit science fiction, with space exploration, hover crafts, holograms, action, discoveries and real aliens, that one drama doesn’t count. I recently watch Snowpiercer directed by Bong Joon-ho and it has to the best movie I’ve seen in a long time, absolutely amazing. I find it odd how different Korean movies are form tv shows, I wish there was a show has epic as Snowpeircer.
