-Hwang JinMan (We're All Trying Here)

Actually I kept put it on delay. I fear that it would be closed in a very abrupt way that left you feel empty, but glad that this drama stays brilliant the end. I love poems that they use in here, I love Korea poem, they feel very clean, neat, and minimal, while containing a lot of things, feeling, and meaning behind every words (not that I read that many poem in my mother language tho'). Somewhere a wrong remains, struck me hard, I think it is something each of us feel deep inside, that we're not good enough, and ruminating about all things we're short of. Quite taken aback as the final week episodes got so rough with scenes of punches here and there. Mildly surprised when Hyung came along to picked up EunA's Grandma, having the car all cleaned up, and also backing Dongman when he met that jerk and giving menacing look on cue too LOL. Super proud of EunA for finally able to pinpoint her feeling and emotions, the roots of them, and giving a clapback & successfully stopped her nosebleed. I love the scene when she finally confessed to MiRan that she is the Byeon SiEon, & how MiRan swiftly enveloped her in a hug ( I love the way she hugs her, and this character is the most humane, real, and lovable she ever been). Shooketh when Oh Jeong Hui left in the middle of a shoot to deal with MiRan's problem. It is so very out of character for her to do so, but she really grow a lot. Reflecting and even grateful how her kid grows up well because she ain't growing under her is a big thing to utter, what with her nose always up in the air, and how we can see her mask, and how we can finally see real emotion on her face running freely. It was Complex with Hyejin & Kyungse, remembering that she said in the early episode how having a man that sleeps around is bearable for her in a way, but she was so betrayed when her husband cheating emotionally from her, and how she exploded and calmly bringing up divorce to him. Kyungse was so miserable, with his relationship problem that is already long time coming, possibility of being divorced by the woman that he loves so that every woman character in his film is based on her, and in the lowest getting badly critiques by his friend in the most painful way too. I loving all the potrayal here. This drama runs in tragedy-comedy way, and they all so deserved the happy ending they got. All things seems so very fitting, all characters feel so humane. Dongman is very much an act of service man. Like he directly facing jerks that hurt EunA, even coming to meet the jerk when it called him for duel. How he would stop all things he was doing when Hyung came, making space, setting table, & putting food down and eat together with hyung. Also Choi Wonyoung, stay true to his capitalist way till the end and trying all his might to get Dongman on his side now muahahaha.

This drama is crazy good, while it is somber, the comedy is genius!

I think I will watch this week episode one more time, as it is that good! Get me all giddy and excited with the way their romance is going, It's quite fast progress than the usual kdrama, or is it because the really slow pace and rather gloomy mood, made me more appreciative of how things are unfolding? hehehe Finally this week we could fill the blank of the hyung's story, though I'm still curious what made him such absent father, when he regretted it so much after losing his child. Dongman & Gyeongsae relationship has change so much for the better, and I love after Gyeongsae confession, he goes much calmer, though still cowardice and insecure, most of his anxiousness has loosen a lot. Loving the argument between Gyeongsae and his wife too, having the imaginary bullet shot in the midst of it all is pure genius, got me thrilled so much and how she nonchalantly slapped it away. She really is the man! Now, I kinda curious about what is Junhwan's real feeling about everything, I want some depth of his character too.

Go Gyoo Hwan really isn't your usual drama male lead, he has this feminine edge in his face, soft voice, and sometimes his mannerism is quite flamboyant too, but plausible still since he acts as a eccentric film maker (Aspiring) here.

We consumed a lot of things, knowing what's the latest trend and trying to get on it too, yet without any deep thoughts behind it and at the end of the day, you got so overwhelmed with it all, questioning everything, and want to disconnect and having your personal time that is fully you & yours alone.

I really need someone to vent to, but ...

Of course I get so taken by this new release of Raye, loving her energy so much, I've been trying to sing to that particular part since I know of the song and everyday after 💕

This was quite earworms for me. Rhoma Irama & Soneta performing Kumpul Bocah, and it gives off being serenaded by your Grandpa vibes, and I keep on going back to it and the last part of the lyrics which he change to "Berikan kepada Rhoma Irama" is such a legendary move too.

The casts are chef's kiss! Seeing Lee Seol supporting the drama also gives me the solid push to watched it till the end. Of course Nam Gongmin's name itself is already quite a deal, moreover with Jeon Hyeobin as the FL (I know she will rock this, since it kind of vibing with her character in Be Melodramatic). I love the overall story theme, while some part is too beautiful for it to happen in real life, but yeah let's just called it as the beauty of drama. Nam Gongmin's character in this drama is the most melo and gentle ever, even though he mostly keep his feeling and thought to himself, I crush so hard on this Lee JeHa character, is one of my most ideal type. Usually there would be some wit and snarkiness, but this Jeha that he played is as soft as linen. I love how the cast for his Mom has the same gummy smile that the FL has, kind of giving solid reason why he unassumingly get charmed by the FL hehehe. There were some quotes that I find lovely but I didn't catch them, as I watched the drama, marathoned it in 3 days in 2.5x speed. Kind of expecting more of Lee Seol's character, there was no charm to her character, I love it best when she played that cold blooded sociopath characters. This very much turn into rumbling hahaha, Enjoy the drama but that's all.

She is so lovely, I think it would be great to hang with her, I love her facial structure too, She seems very badass, her exotic skin also amplifying the vibe, but when she spoke all the vision got completely thwarthed. While I don't really fond of having tote and getting all stuff in one compartment, I think she is a genius for filling her bag with a lot of things, full enough so that things won't go roaming around, and it seems that she also have clear system on putting things in her bag, that she could map if she need something where would she find it (Well I'm amazed by this, because I don't think I can). Safe to say that Night I watched all of her 19 WIMB videos and she just added one yesterday and I've watched it too. If she ever read this, I just want to say TaBas I Heart You!

Actually I stumbled upon the manhwa first, but the atmosphere seems very somber so I dropped it immediately. When watching this, I'm surprised with how light and silly is the Kim Ram Woo character as Grim Reaper, like it was only 1% of him being all stern and serious, but in the end it all makes sense, as he is really trying his best to cheer up and give his love reason to stay alive. Moral value is you really need to safe yourself first before wanting to safe others, and as changing their names to each other is their thing,in this piece, I think it strengthen the reason for her to be alive emotionally, as she being alive, he too is alive within her & as part of her.

Mix that I enjoyed so much since it was released on 14th March, feels like an exciting birthday gift, it also hyped me up as it accompanying me while I am packing up 200 pax of Fitr's hampers, big mood. I hope I could watch her DJ performance live someday (finger crossed).
