That Winter, The Wind Blows BTS

I wasn't supposed to watch this yet. But my sister-in-law was a fan of Jo In Sung and Song He Kyo, she requested me to skip the next 5 dramas. HAHAHA. Since I had a copy of it already, why wait? XD
This is Jo In Sung's comeback drama after being released from the army, and this is also Song He Kyo's return to the small screen since 2008. These two actors are considered as one of Korea's best visuals. Sooo, yes. There's no way I would miss this drama. ;)

In Sung Oppa is still dashing. Whew. Unnir is still pretty but her aging signs are already visible. Lol. But who cares?! They're still good-looking!!

Okay. Thoughts.

Hmmm. First of all, Kim Bum and Eunji!! Sooo cute! HAHAHA! I ship their characters in the drama. Even if Eunji didn't use her Busan accent here, she's still fun! Kim Bum on the other hand, I'm speechless. Lol. He was a cutie in BOF, but here, he's 100000000x way cuter!! Seriously. Especially when he smiles. /sigh I wasn't like this over him during BOF days. HAHAHA.
I sooo envy Oh Soo and Jin Sung's friendship. Gossh. Even if Oh Soo betrayed Jin Sung's family, he still followed him around. But of course, as they say, blood is still thicker than water. I salute his courage when he had to stab Oh Soo for the safety of his family and Hee Sun.

I hated Jo Moo Chul from the start coz he was obviously a thug. But then, my friend said not to hate him, I should pity him instead. Spoiler. Yeah I know. I finally understood him when he showed his weak self. He was actually trying to protect his childhood friends from Boss Kim that's why he gave Oh Soo a 100-day allowance. AAWWWWEEEEEE. If only he knew how to express that. :/

This is the first drama (I always mention this phrase, LOL) I've seen that the lead guy cried more than the main girl. Jinjjja! Oh Soo cries a lot in this drama. He gets extra sensitive when it comes to Oh Young and her blindness. Aigoo. Love really can change people. It's a superstition but there must be someone out there who changed out of love, right?
Unnir made a good job acting as a blind person. You just have to look away from the camera and everything actually. HAHAHA. They said many questioned her role portrayal, regarding her make-up, high heeled shoes and all. She even swam in this drama. Imagine, a blind person swimming, alone? IKR? But as she said, she actually asked at the community centers, and they actually dress themselves up. I don't know bout the swimming part though.

Okay, enough of my ramblings. HAHAHA. They showed a few BTS at the end, so here they are. :)
PS. I was shocked to see ZEST AIR as one of their sponsors. HAHA. I kinda have this thinking that Zest Air is a owned by a Filipino. xD

Arang and the Magistrate BTS

Yo! After 3 weeks, I finished another drama. Hehehe. :)
I thought this was my first fantasy romance drama that I watched. but then i remember watching My GF is a Gumiho. Only difference is their time frame. Arang was set during the Joseon Dynasty while Gumiho on the present. Come to think of it, it's they both have Shin Min Ah for the female lead. xD
Thoughts?
Uhmm. 20 episodes. First half was boring. A Korean friend told me not to watch it coz it wasn't that good, I reasoned out since it's Lee JunKi's first project after returning from the army. I should've listened? Hmmm. Can't really say it that way.
I liked it a bit coz they had lots of cliffhangers. They make you think. HAHA. I was confused on some of the characters, like Eun Ho's mom and Moo Yeon but then it came out clear in the later eps.
What else can I say? Uhm. Ghost characters. Remember hearing about souls who can't go to the other side yet because they have lots of unfinished business? They had a lot of that in the drama. Arang for example. They had these cold-looking ghost catchers. They catch ghosts. Duh? -_- I wonder how Joo Wal ended up being a ghost catcher though. What's with their selection process? xD
Ughh. I'm not making any sense, am I? My head is floating somewhere. LOL.
Anyways, they aired a special episode. Watched it WITHOUT SUBS! OMGEE. Internal hemorrhage. But it wasn't that bad. I wasn't paying much attention to what they were saying either. I just wanted it to end! HAHAHA!
