Heartstrings

I watched this drama because I saw a comment by someone that it was really good, and they were right. I liked this drama aloot. At first the main guy lead reminded my of the guy from playful kiss so I didnt think I would like it, but once you got to know him it was different. He was actually really nice, and I found myself liking him alot.

So heres the story: the girl is a traditional music major, and he is in some rock band. THey get off on the wrong foot, mostly becuase he is arrogant and she doesnt take the crap. Well, then she loses a bet and has to be his slave for a while. She ends up getting him coffee every morning. The poor guy gets his heart broken from someone. There was a point in the story where I didnt like the main girl lead because she seemed almost pitiful, but then Lee Gyu Won decided to get over the main guy,  Lee Shin. She sang a song about getting over him (ironically enough, he pretty much fell in love with her when she sang it). There was alot of singing as you can imagine. The kisss scene was amazing because of the music.

Lee gye won, lives with her funy grandfather who tries to get people to listen to his lives sotry whenever he can (which became a punishment more than once).

 Lee guy won had a friend named Bo Oong who keeps walking in when the couple is together and ruining the atmosphere. It was funny, Lee shin eventually learned when she was coming. There is also this weird character who can't stop eating.

How do you explain a show that makes you fall in love with the character, makes you want to spin around in circles, and which touches your heart so easily? I just really liked this drama. It was easier to watch than many of the others that are really full of dramatic details. It was just a plain nice drama. The begining was not as great as the middle, and hardly as good as the end (though they rushed in some drama in the last episode which was just a little annoying).

I loved him, and I loved her, and I loved this drama.
I loved the music.
I loved their expressions.
I loved the feel this drama gave me.

you've fallen for me

Prosecuter Princess

Okay, so this Drama is about a girl who is pretty much spoiled. She loves fashion, has all the accessories and shoes she could ever want. However, this girl is also very smart, she has a photographic memory, and because of that she was able to become a prosecutor very easily. SHe gets a job, but she is so lazy taht nobody wants to teach her. Ma Hye Ri meets this guy (who is very cute) and they fall in love. This guy is not as innocent or kind as he seems though, I actually hated him at one point, and I mean that, I HATED HIM. LIke most dramas though, the people who directed it know how to put him back into your favor, and I started liking him again. When the secret comes out though, and you find out how he was using her and what he was doing to her, well, just be prepared to feel alot of hatred towards him.

Having said that there were alot of moments that were really nice in this. He always showed up when she needed help or was feeling upset (yes there was a hidden reason behind it, but still) I like to think he meant some of it. There was a part of the show when they lived next to eachother and he gave her thinks by using a fishing rod with a bucket on the end, I liked that little touch. He was the only guy who encouraged her to eat, even after he found out she used to be fat. He taught her how to cook raman noodles. He bought her appartment once she moved out :( There were these coupons they had, and to make up for some favor they did they would get a coupon saying "i will come to you once when you need me no matter what." There was a moment when he kissed her that was more amazing than normal dramas, and this is me saying that, so it really is amazing. She is just like "say sorry" and then he kissed her, just awesome. He carried her on his back, but that happens in EVERY drama, still, its cute enough that its a must. He bought her appliances for her apartment, also cute.

The whole time, Ma hye ri is in love with this "other guy" who is just annoying because he cant say anything that is on his mind. You have no idea wht he feel about her or anyone else! Granted, his wife died, but still, he's jsut so closed off.

What I enjoyed most about this drama is that there was a good reason for how the main character acted the way she did. Its easy to just say she was a little spoiled or lazy, but then to put soemthing behind all of that, which makes you understand and care about her as a person makes it the story and masterpiece it is (not that I am saying this is a complete masterpiece or anything). She was fat, her mother promised her anything, her father was strict, forced her to do things she didnt want to do. Can I just say? the mother was a whimp, she couldnt stand up for herself or for anything against the father.

There was a trial when she was a persecuter about a girl who had been sexually assaulted, and it was a very light hearted situation in comparison to the USA type of shows that we have. She got to the heart of the child by dancing, aw the poor kid, all for violin lessons.

Lie to Me

This drama was about a girl who says she is married to this guy so people won't bug her about her personal life. Rumors start to spread, and he finds out about it. Eventually he goes along with the ruse though. They fall in love, but you probably understand that by now.

Honestly? I watched this drama a while ago, I dont really remember it except that I really liked it. The guy was really strict, she was really funny, their chemistry was really great. I was going to write a review about this after I watched it, but as what usually happens to me, I didnt.

Gotta love OSTs

I really need to watch this again...

My Name is Kim Sam Soon

This Drama is about a girl named Kim Sam Soon who hates her name. She is a baker, and her boyfriend breaks up with her one day. She gets a job at a resturant called Bon Apetit (really original) and she makes a contract to pretent to be the preident's boyfriend if she can have the 50 million won that can save her home from being taken. As you can imagine, they fall in love. The president, Hyun Jin Hun, is very funny. There is something about his eyes which just make you want to laugh sometimes, he is sneaky and playful. At the same time he is demanding, and a little violent. He has a back story like characters have to have in these dramas, and it is a depressing sob story. They fought alot, which was entertaining. I liked the story, but I was really annoyed that Kim Sam Soon always had to give in to him, and that he was just so insensitive to her at times. The food in it made me hungry :(

There was this "other woman" in this drama who just got into everything. I'm not going to say that I hated her but she was selfish and annoying in a way that wasnt direct. She apparently left him for an important reason (idk if I should give it away) when she came back she just expected eveything to be normal after leaving for years and not talking to him. She brought with her this guy from the USA who spoke english, and I have to say listening seak english was hilarious, mostly because they empasised words at the wrong time, and spoke slowly and in a way that was just not american in any way and more korean than anything. There was a quote having to do with her that said "memorys dont have any strength, but they never do away."

Hyun Jin Hun had a niece named...I think its something like ma joon? and the little girl was adorable, and smiled all the time, though she never spoke. I was so excited to see her speak, for the last few eposodes i paid really close attention. Usually in Dramas there is just a heart wrenching moment when these things do happen, but I didnt think that when ma joon spoke they picked the right time or the right words. I loved her relationship with everyone though, so cute.

Kim Sam Soon was a better character in the begining when she didnt take any crap from anyone, just saying. I loved when he father showed up and they talked, he was dead but still.

It was entertaining, but if I'm putting it on a scale from hate to personal taste, it was probably closer to nuetral. I admit though, I loved Kim Sam Soon's mother to death, she was hilarious, protective, and just plain loveable no matter what she said or what she was doing. I didnt like that the movie stressed Kim Sam Soon as being old or fat, because she was only chubby in asian standards and she only looked old by asian standards, which means she was neither.

HowMeGirl...Who?

Hola!!

My Name is HowMeGirl, and I know who I am, but as for you guys, well, you don’t. So here is my explaination!

First off, I am Scottish, German, Croatian, Czec, Cherokee, and 100% American. This obviously doesnt matter to you too much, but just in case you were wondering if I was Korean or asian, the answer is no. That is, unless you believe that the cherokee people came from Asia. Anyway, you have probably guessed from the title of my blog that I LOVE, korean dramas. There is alittle more to me than that, but not too much more lol. I’m actually a fairly new Korean Drama addict, meaning I havent watched too many, so bear with me. I’m going to try to get as into it as I can, because frankly I am sick and tired of being bored. I found something I like, so I’m going to really get into it. If you have suggestions or advice I’ll gladly take all the help I can get.

I am the captain of a colorguard (but my cologuard is small lol). I love different cultures, and music in different languages are totally my thing. I love music in different languages; it reminds me that no matter how different people are they basically sing the same. My room is my masterpiece, I decorate it with things I get at the flee market (my mom brings me to flee markets ALOT). I love children, I’ll probably become a teacher when I grow up. I also love hairpieces (even though I dont wear them alot…:) Yes this is all random, but I want you to have some kind of grasp on who I am. Well, in that case, I might as well also admit that I get lost easily. If you tell me to get something for you I will return hours later with something completely different than what you wanted, that is, if i don’t forget all together. I love my shoes! They arent heels or fancy-schmancy shoes. They are called blow-fish shoes and they have a checkered tongue. Saddly they are getting old :(

hmmm…other things about me….eh, you can just ask if by some chance you care who I am.

Protect the boss!!

This show was about a woman who gets a job as a secretary to a bratty, hard-to-please guy.
I just finished this. I loved the main-girl lead, she is exactly what I look for in a character. She is strong, and doesn’t take crap from anyone. What was strange about this show was that usually I like to skip parts about minor characters, but I absolutely loved and enjoyed every single part of this show. I thought all the characters were endearing in some way, and I didn’t find myself disliking any of them or any of the scenes they were in. This show was just really nice to watch, there was one misunderstanding but the plot went on without too many bumps in the road. I actually liked both guy, and that doesn’t happen to me a lot, usually I like the one she is obviously going to end up with, but I fell for both of them this time.

I loved the scenes when she was hanging out with her friends too <3. The bromance between the two cousins was soo fun to watch too! There was a lot of connections between the characters and they all ended up being friends no matter what. Each and every one of them were part of this big family, and I loved that.

The main-guy-lead actually depended on the girl, which is opposite of what normally happens in a drama. I thought that was really refreshing. He was so cute though!!! His facial expression, everything, so adorable!! Every time he hugged her he was so cute. So endearing. I even thought his phobia was cute! I’m weird huh?

Favorite so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This series made me swoon!! so the main-lead-guy decides to room in a girls house, because apparently her father was some big architecture person. Because of some circumstances the girl thinks he is gay, so he starts pretending he is gay. They really establish quickly from the beginning that he isn’t gay though lol when he wakes up with a girl.

The house was pretty cool, I have to say. I dreamed one night that I lived there. When I found out the main-lead-girl’s history in the house my heart just broke to pieces. The beginning was sad, because the girls best friend marries the main girl-leads boyfriend. Then the bitch tries to come back and live with the main girl-lead, I mean, the nerve of some people!!

The chemistry between them was pretty amazing too. He was so cute, and affectionate, and she was soo loveable. At some points I had to stop the show and scream into a pillow because I couldn’t take the cuteness of it all. When he was all concerned when she had her period I melted. I really couldn’t take it, then he rubbed her stomach for her, and I was a puddle on the ground. I loved when he tried to teach her to cook and be a good woman, it was so hilarious!! And when he first found out she thought he was gay his face was so hilarious, ahahaha!!! The picture they took as a family were cute too! Sometimes they would look at each other and, jeez, can you tell I love romance dramas?? My favorite part was when he was like “screw this I love you” and kissed her. Loved all the jokes.

He tried to make her into a good woman at one point, and to do this he made her stay in a closet and would trick her into coming out. It was wicked funny. He would also get her food, and she could guilt him into anything. They watched movies at one point and were eating pop corn, so cute. He brought her to a party to show off to her ex that she was a good woman (her ex married her bestfriend while still dating her) boy did she show him. She ended up getting her period and she made him go get her pads, it was hilarious! but he did it, and it was so sweet. When she got cramps he was so worried that he went to get her medicine, made her tea, and rubbed her stomach.

The kiss scene was amazing. She was dating her ex again in the hopes of getting revenge, and then she realized she loved her "gay-friend" and she is just like, "i cant do this anymore!" and he walks right up to her and says "game-over" and kisses her then and there. So amazing.

lol when she finds out he is not gay she feels it is only right to kick him out of the house, but he keeps coming up with excuses to go back inside and see her.





Cute moments
