Oh hi there :)

What I find extra fascinating about Koizora, is that it’s probably based on a true story. It started as a cell phone novel, but it’s claimed to be a biographical account of the writer (Mika) ! 

As for SekaNeko : it’s a great movie, but I don’t know if you’ll like it since it’s not quite realistic… But enought talking it’s time for some recs ;)

Alphabetically :

1 Litre of Tears - based on a true story - 

Algernon ni hanabata wo 

Beautiful life

Boku no ita jikan

Dakishimetai (movie) -  based on a true story - 

Fuyu no sakura

I give my first love to you  (movie) - quite similar to Koizora ! - 

My rainy days (movie)

true nobody is good enough for gong yoo except my favourites actresses lol, like i would love to see han hyo joo with him, or yoon eun hye once again, and i'm dreaming about him and son ye in in a movie (because they are too good for a drama). But yeah I'm gonna watch it more, but I'm not really into it right now.

I haven’t finished Coffee Shop Prince, I lost momentum. I do love it though. I’m not usually into the err is it called gender swap(?) thing? Don’t hate it but not in love with it. That being said CSP is executed so wonderfully (from what i’ve seen. I got to about episode 12/13 and have yet to finish it. I will). Yoon Eun HYe is amazing in her role for sure.

ObVIOUSLY love HHJ after W. I mean wowza can’t not. 

I know Son Ye from personal taste. I liked personal taste but lost interest after episode 12/13 mark. This seems to be the point in kdramas where I lose momentum LOL. And a lot of the time it’s not even because I don’t like it, I just end up starting another kdrama and forget to finish the other. HAHA. Son Ye was very funny in it, I liked her.

Basically Goblin has actors i’ve seen from dramas I haven’t finished. HAHAHAHA. woops. So if I finished Goblin it’ll be the first kdrama with these actors that i’ve actually gotten through. wooo fighting!

Well about The Grim Reaper and Goblin. Lee Dong Wook is beautiful as hell but he is not a good actor. He is always the same. So it's little imbalance between him and Gong Yoo (who is an amazing actor). You know who would be a perfect Grim Reaper? Jung Kyung Ho. I think you watched Heartless city? So you know what I mean. He is so intense in every role ughh. And about other dramas. I really like The legend of the blue sea and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Ju.

omfg. nobody is good enough for Gong Yoo are they? HAHAHAHA. (not judging you at all for having high standards it’s just amusing me). Personally i’ve never see Lee Dong Wook in anything else, so for me i’m enjoying it so far. Grim Reaper suits him. He’s quite unexpressive and stoic which works for this character (in my opinion). Haven’t seen heartless city, but judging from this it sounds like I should. Do you recommend it? 

WAIT WAIT. OH I’VE SEEN JUNG KYUNG HO IN SOMETHING. I’VE SEEN HIM IN FALLING FOR INNOCENCE. LOVED him in that. Very very much. He is an amazing actor. Heartless City is definitely on my list now. I forgot he’s lead in that. Thinking back on how ruthless his character is at the beginning of falling for innocence, I can see how he’d be a good grim reaper. 

LOTBS and WF are the two other shows i’m watching currently. Both amazing so far. Fantasy is more my genre so i’m enjoying LOTBS more than WF by just a smidge because MERMAIDS and FANTASY. 

and having Yoo In Na as the second female lead it's just stupid when she is 10 and the main is like 4 lol. I watched the first movie that actress made and she played a character that was like korean version of Lolita and she had really bold scenes there and she was good but I don't want her in this drama

“doomsdayy replied to your post “The “romantic” parts/connotations of...”

I love your rambling ;) But the thing is why she has to be so young? My point was that they should put yoo in na as the main and not made her 19 years old, just a grow up woman that she is. Why it's necessary for the female lead to be teenager? I don't understand that. And yeah I don't like this girl, mostsly because she is not pretty enough for Gong Yoo (yes I'm that shallow)

Yep . They just shouldn’t have made her 19 years old full stop. Especially since she’s 19 in Korean age, but technically 18 if you go by western standards.That’s why i’m hoping for another time jump LOL. Like I said, age gap between the two leads is my ONLY problem. Only reason why it’s not bothering me as much is because i’m just trying to think ahead. It’s only been two episodes so... for now I have faith that it’ll be fixed? 

HAHAHAHAAHA. You are hilarious. You shallow shallow girl. ;P I mean, sometimes you just can’t help feeling that way. I just didn’t love her in cheese in the trap, but that’s mostly because I didn’t like that drama as a whole either. I think she’s cute, but yeah definitely not gorgeous. And admittedly next to Gong Yoo... 

I really hope that in future episodes we see more of a balance between Gong Yoo and Eun Tak (I can’t remember her name woops so character name it is ahaha). 

I think i’m just optimistic that this will sort itself out more as they develop LOL Because otherwise i’m enjoying it. Favourite thing? Grim Reaper x Goblin’s dynamic + the nephew. I could watch them bickering for half an episode and teaming up all badass and be perfectly happy. I want to see more deity’s get involved too. I hope that the focus on the romance doesn’t take away from the potential depth the show can develop. Both in characters, themes etc. I loved W because of it’s depth, innovation, and cleverness. So i’m hoping Goblin delivers in depth and cleverness. Because it has innovation down already with it’s interesting premise and take of mythology and deity’s. 

There's no chemistry between them at all, it makes me so mad. He looks like pedo with her. Why on earth Yoo In Na is no paired with him. He is beautiful, she is beautiful. They would be like the most beautiful paring of this year. And they are almost the same age. I waited months for this drama and they kind of ruined it wih that main chick. And I think the romance will start soon, he is already interesting in her.

I think the lack of chemistry for the moment is more because of the age gap and how opposite they are? I think as she grows and hopefully changes their connection will get deeper. Eun Tak is 19. She’s very loud, boisterous, talkative and wears her heart on her sleeve. It’s a complete contrast to the Goblin who has been living on earth for hundreds of year, and is quite reserved. Also, they’ve only just met. Obviously this is all just my own opinion. Completely understand feeling differently. Sometimes we feel the chemistry, and sometimes we don’t. TBH I wasn’t fond of the actress who is playing Eun Tak because I tried watching Cheese In The Trap (she was the lead there), and I didn’t enjoy the show at all. I couldn’t finish it. 

Yoo In Na is absolutely stunning. The thing is even if they are the almost the same age (the actors), she would still have to play 19 year old Eun Tak. So there may have been more chemistry but the age gap still exists. And it would still be the same character we see now just different actor. Chemistry wise though I can see how there could be more there. Maybe. He does look much much older than her so I agree it’s a bit weird. But even if they looked closer in age, character-wise it’s still a 19 year old we’re talking about. So problematic either way it’s spun. 

I’m hoping the writer knows what they are doing and that the romance won’t really start till midway or farther, unless there’s another time jump . Because there has to be a lot more development before that can happen. I’m fine with the joking of her being his bride and romance being brought up if it’s not being taken seriously. EG. that hilarious scene where he’s barging into the Reapers room asking what looks better on him. 

TBH my only problem with Goblin is the age gap. But it’s only been two episodes so i’m hoping it’ll sort itself out. I don’t know if you’ve seen I Hear Your Voice. But that age gap made me quite uncomfortable till the very end where there’s an age gap, and serious development. So I’m comfortable giving a show a decent amount of episodes now before I write it off for this reason. 

Personally i’m loving the show very very much. I love the music, cinematography, premise, plot, and the actors. The way each characters introduced is really intriguing and awesome I felt. I find myself laughing at a lot of it. Were it not for the age gap i’d be even more obsessed and in love with it than I currently am. That’s all that’s stopping me from going all the way. 

God how i hate that true love bulshit

bless you, this is excatly what i think

bless you for actually reading the post and agreeing with it. haha. All I really have to say is quality over quantity on the criticism that it could have used more women. Like i’ve said, the women that have been on W are always strong and become the heroes of the story. That in itself is pretty amazing. And in a world filled with poorly written women, I think W has done a pretty damn good job at showing just how amazing we can be. And just how badly men can, well... to be blunt, fuck everything up ;D They need us to clean up their messes huh? HAHA. Just kidding, and being cheeky. But in all seriousness, i’d rather have a show where women are written well, but are few. Than a show where yes there may be heaps of women but they are written so poorly. Exhibit A for me is CAFK (Cinderella and the Four Knights), where the women on it are just written super inconsistent. 

What I would accept, is the argument that maybe they could have made the comic artist/creator the wife not the husband. So Yeon Joo’s mother rather than the father. Which i’ll admit could have made quite an interesting dynamic. Mother-daughter relationship would have been interesting to explore in that aspect. 

I’d basically accept them saying that some of the mains (such as Soo Bong or Yeon Joo’s boss at work - I never remember his name), could have been gender swapped. Because that I understand. I understand if you’re saying “they should have made more of the important characters that were crucial to the plot, women”. Because that’s a legitimate criticism that makes sense. I mean why not make the creator her mother instead of her father? Why not make Soo Bong a female? But So Hee and Yeon Joo’s mother really didn’t need more screen time then they got because their characters weren’t needed any more than what was shown. And despite wanting more screen time for them, it wasn’t necessary to do more with them when there was so much left of the plot that had to be tied up before the show ended. If it was Yeon Joo’s mother who was the creator instead and the father was the one who left and moved on with his life, then it would have been the same. Why give him more screen time then necessary?

It's like in Beautiful mind (if you watched that drama) where everyone thought that the main character is a psychopat because of surgery but at the end we (and them) found that that he was normal person but his father made him this way because he wanted to teach him how to be normal human. So everyone see Kang Chul as a comic character but what if he is not?

doomsdayy replied to your post “Do you know what I think? I think that Kang Chul is a real person from...”

I mean how else it could end happy for them if he isn't real person? And about who kidnapped him? That person/being who stoped Yeon Jo's father from killing Kang Chul with that truck? And the memory thing maybe that person/being wrote that they both forgot each other because he has some super serious powers. I don't know, this is half serious and half crack lol.

But Chul is real? I mean yes he is fictional and his life and world is constantly being broadcasted to Yeon Joo’s world. But I think he’s still real. It’s just a different world, that’s running alongside the real world, and it has it’s own set of rules and own way it’s being run? Chul still feels, he still hurts and loves. He still bleeds, and he can “die” sort of. Technically he can die, it’s just outside forces stopping/saving him from it.
