Queen of Tears

This series is not perfect, but it is still good. It has a solid storyline, and great characters. Hong Hae In and Baek Hyun Woo have been married for 3 years and the love that had united them at the beginning seems to have disappeared in their distance and silence after a miscarriage that broke their hearts. When Baek Hyun Woo finally has the courage to present the divorce papers to Hong Hae In, she tells him she has a tumor and doesn't have much time left. His decision to stay with her gives them an unexpected chance at finding that love that had united them once. Family interactions between their very different families questions dynamics and help characters grow.

I like the fact that they didn't take the easy way out with our main antagonist. The story in itself is really good and I loved it, however, production was a bit careless with details that were too big to miss: Hae In's operation - how can a person with a brain tumor have a surgery with her hair intact. Or Hyun Woo's neck injury suddenly disappearing in a second, ext. These kind of details show some careless oversight. But we can forgive them - we laugh it off and keep watching to see what happens next.

I liked it and recommend it.

A Time Called You

I watched this series in three days. It was really good. I loved it. At the beginning it's kind of confusing, you have to pay close attention to what's going on so you can understand it. It has mystery, friendship and love. This time-travel story keeps us on edge, crossing our figures for a happy ending for all of them.

I usually don't talk about the actors' performance but Ahn Hyo Seop and Jeon Yeo Bin did an excellent job portraying those characters. They didn't need to talk in order for the audience to know who the character was. All the cast was excellent in this series.

I recommend it!

Watch "Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story | Official Trailer | Hulu" on YouTubej

Bon Jovi. I'm an 80s child and 90s teen. I was a pre-teen in the late 80s. I watched MTV, I listened to La Mega, which was the rock station in PR back then. I grew up listening to all the rock bands, and Bon Jovi was one of them. I remember that people said they were not rock because they were not heavy metal. But to me that didn't make any sense, Bon Jovi's songs were good, and I loved them, and so did my brother and my friends, so we didn't care what the critics said. Most of those heavy metal bands are long gone, but Bon Jovi is still around, and I think that says a lot. I didn't know Jon was having problems with his vocal cords until I watched the documentary, and I do hope he is able to recover fully. . .

It was a great documentary. I'm glad it was divided into 4 parts because it gave us a good look at the band and its history. I was kind of surprised in a positive way to learn that Jon never used drugs; at some point in the history of music, it felt like drug addition was a requirement, so actually learning that he didn't do any of it just proves to all that you don't need to go down that road even if others are. This is a band that grows and transforms, showing - not just each members' personality - but also how we mature and look at the world differently. Their music matured with its fans and I like that. I think they were honest as they opened up in the interviews.

If you are a fan, watch it. It feels like they take you into their personal ride as part of Bon Jovi.

My Demon

Loved this series. It had a balance of cute, drama, and suspense. The characters for the most part were grayish and complex. The portrayal of God as female, homeless and gambler was interesting. The relationship between her and the demon was one complex too. It felt like ying and yang. Human emotions make the demon and god empathetic towards humans' pain. This story tackles domestic abuse and child abuse, and emphasizes on how silence and turning a blind-eye to these situations can hurt a loved one as well. It makes you reflect on these issues.

Again, it's a good drama to watch.

Today's Webtoon

For someone that likes to read webtoons, this series was so nice to watch. It gives us a window to how webtoon creation and publication works. I like the characters: artists and the PDs. Their stories ranged from sweet to sad, but it was great to see the all reached their own happiness. Even though this series is not a romantic drama, it did have its romantic touches that made it sweeter. It leaves this subplot in the opening as they accomplish their dream as a team and move on to the next collective dream. I wonder what will happen with Oh Ma Eum's relationship with Seok Ji Hyung and Jun Yeong. But even though it leaves that question open, it doesn't leave me disappointed or wanting to know what happens. I think that it just reminds us that life continues even after one chapter of our lives ends and things will happen at their own sweet time, there is no need to force things.

Work drama that will keep you smiling and cheering for the characters. Really loved it.

I've had this series in my list since it came out. Choi Daniel is in it (who is one of the actors I'm always in the look out) and I love reading webtoons.

Doctor Slump

I liked this story. It was sweet and it reminds us that even when we feel like things can't get any worse, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Ha Neul and Jeong Woo learn to rely on each other and face the darkness together and with the help of the people that truly care about them.

I also liked Hong Ra's and Dae Yeong's story.

Welcome to Samdal-ri

It has been a while since I felt like making a wallpaper for a drama. I just wanted to make sure that all the characters that I loved had their spotlight. This is such a sweet romantic story! I loved the main plot and all the subplots, I loved the family dynamics as well as the friendship ones. The Power Rangers were so cute to watch as kids and adults and the sisters are a power house all on their own. . . And Ha Yul stole my heart too.

It was endearing to watch. This is definitely a drama I see myself going back to later on.

Doona!

I liked the series though the ending was realistically sad. I liked how the characters connected through their interactions. It is really sad how the entertaining industry in Korea takes ownership of the artists' lives. . .

I started reading the webtoon. Let's see how that goes.
