A Belated Tenth Anniversary

     

Thursday, February 25 2016 @ 10:19 am was the date and time of my very first post. I never imagined that I would have been posting here this long. So much has happened since then.

It was a huge leap of faith to publish that first post. I remember be scared that I'd messed up somewhere that I kept checking it. Once I realized that I had not messed up, I still kept checking it because I couldn't believe that I had put my words out there. To be honest, I was somewhat giddy.

Through all these years, as I faced personal ups and downs, writing here has been one of the anchors in my day to day life. Talking to you all has been fun. Even though very, very, very, very few has messaged me back. I enjoy posting.

 

I hope we can hit new milestones together as we continue on as writer and reader. Here's to the future!

Perfect Crown A review

 

As I mentioned before, I like to watch series that have already finished. I am not the best at waiting patiently when it comes to books and shows. I can be patient about everything else but that. So why, why I ask you, did I break my own rule and start Perfect Crown when only the first two episodes were out? Let me tell you.

First, the OST. A good soundtrack is one of the necessities of a successful show. The opening song here was a catchy pop song that had so much swag, I was held captivated until it finished. You know the type of song I'm talking about. It's that song you'd want playing in the background as you Lady boss your way through an ultra, mega makeover for that dream date you've had in mind since forever ago. And that was just the first song.

Second, the Cast. Our leading lady is the stunning and charismatic IU. Byeon Woo Seok is our handsome and charming male lead. They have an incredible chemistry on screen. Neither one of them outshines the other. And when you're that stunning, it says something. Their acting is as natural as breathing.

Lastly, the plot and directing. Good writing and directing is essential in a show. So far, it has taken a trope (arranged marriage with royalty) and made it new and fresh and modern. It has Intrigue, Comedy, Romance, and Drama. It is delivering on many different fronts. The visual shots were absolutely fantastic, dare I say cinematic. The pacing fast but not overly so. It left a craving for the next episodes. So, I was struck with the fact that I watched this as it aired as opposed to usual.

I want to applaud the screenwriter(s) and director(s) on a job well done. Part of the reason I've drifted to K-Dramas is the fact that the writing seems better than what I have seen so far in America. I mean, let's be honest, an American studio would've botched it. Also, I can't think of an American director who could make a show that feels like a K-Drama. If I am wrong here, you can let me know below. But so far, I've yet to see it. I think I said this before. All in all, I will definitely re-watch at some point.

The Practical Guide to Love A Review

  

Right after I finished Siren's Kiss, I started The Practical Guide to Love. I was looking for something less intense that was sweet and funny. Thankfully I found it on my first pick.

It was 12 episodes but I honestly would've been fine with 16. While not as cinematic as SK, it was still beautifully shot. The storyline was a perfect blend of quirky humor and every day drama.The Practical Guide to Love was a joy to watch. My mouth was quirked up in a smile for most of the show.

I am just going to give you all the nouns that came to mind as I watched: funny, quirky, sweet, healing, heartwarming, comforting, and cute. It gave more than the name let on. Definitely putting this show in my favorites.

I may never find myself in a love triangle but I do understand letting oneself get sucked into the rut of the daily grind,that endless loop of work that never seems to end. Letting things fall by the wayside as you single-mindly focus on the work before you is something I think the majority of all of us can relate to. Watching a character struggle with this is so relatable.

Happy 250th, America!

  

To celebrate our country hitting this huge milestone, I compiled a list of movies and shows that took place during that year. I am just going to give you the trailers as I don't think I can do them all justice. You can thank me later. Hope you all enjoy!

1776

 

Yes, I know it's a musical. It's still very good and I am picky when it comes to my musicals. My dad introduced me to this one.

The Patriot

 

LB1 loved this movie when he was younger. He watched this movie so much my parents and I started to think it was short. It's not.

Johnny Tremaine

 

This one is based of off a book. I saw bits and pieces. It is on my list of movies to watch from beginning to end or read the book.

Hamilton

 

I will not bore you. You all should know this one.

John Adams

 

This miniseries following our 2nd President covers those pre-Revolution years of his life as well as all he did during those pivotal years. Another show I watched bits and pieces of.

Turn

 

This one is about America's first spy ring. The Culper Ring was instrumental to the founding of our nation. We don't really talk about these men and women but they deserve it.

Liberty's Kids

 

As a kid I loved watching this show. Can you imagine how excited I was to find all the episodes up on YouTube? I introduced all my younger siblings to it. I thought they would like it. It wasn't because I wanted to see it myself.😊
