Kara para ask ~ Bolum 14 (seazon 2) review

Kara para ask season 2 premiered on 3 september 2014, Four episodes have been aired so far and I know I am late with the reviews but in my defence I have been really busy with college and plus I have no internet connection. 

This is super short and quick review of episode 14....I will try to get out the reviews of episodes 15,16 and 17 as soon as possible.

First of all 3 words I HATE NILU. Seriously hate her. She's annoying and b*tchy and clingy and Arrrgggh.       I hate how she treats elif! I wish instead of fighting with each other like dogs they would just grieve for their mother together, after all they both share the same pain. 

I hate that she refuses to believe her own sister over the man who kidnapped her     

Elif, my heart breaks for her! The scene where she's at her father's grave made me tear up Its so heart-breaking       

Pelin and arda need to get together now. They are so cute together.     

Tayyar is so evil and cruel     

Metin and Nilu; I don't see a happy ending for them     

Poor taner..is he dead?  14 episodes 4 deaths in the show so far   Nice 

Hussain has another wife and a son??     

I love Melike, she's so fun to watch. Demet on the other hand     

I don't know who's that new friend of omer but he seems like a good guy. Finally a ray of sushine     

Like I said very short and very quick. Don't hate me guys I will be back to regular postings soon with much longer reviews. Till then, Thanks for sticking around.

I will try to post epsiode 15 and 16 in a day or two. 

Fated to love you ~2014 Korean drama ~ Final Verdict

I thought I'd write a few words on what I thought about the whole drama for those who want to read a little bit before starting the show. This is a spoiler free post so fear not. 

I started this show one boring summer day because all my shows had ended for the summer and I'd nothing to watch. I was immediately hooked after just 2 episodes and as the show progressed I got madly in love with it. I can say that this show has become my all time favorite k-drama. I Ioved each and every minute of it there was never a single episode where I felt disappointed or didn't feel satisfied. 

This is the first time ever where I not only loved the main characters but the second leads and secondary characters too. The characters of Lee Gun and Kim Mi-young are so well crafted and so well portrayed that I am in awe. The credits for the hard work go the directors and the actors Jang Hyuk and Jang NaRa. 

The best thing about the characters was that they remained consistent throughout the whole show. There was a time I felt that now this character will take a 180 degree turn and will do something completely out of character but I was proved wrong time and again. For example they showed Lee Gun as a man who helped Mi-young in Macau. Who was very sweet to her even though she was a stranger. And he remained like that even after their shotgun wedding. They had their bad times later in the episodes but I don't remember a time when he was actually really mean and rude to her. I liked how they remained true to his character.

 Same goes for Mi-young she was shown as a person who is too kind and weak to stand up for herself. Now I really hate these kind of characters but Mi-young was not the kind you would hate. She was not STUPID she was just very timid. 

All the times she was hurt or sad you would actually feel for her. You would just want to scoop her in a hug and take away the pain. After they did her transformation I thought that with new look she would lose all her personality but thank the k drama Gods that it didn't happen like that. All my fears dissappeared when I saw in episode 13 that Kim Mi-young is still the kind self she was before but has grown more confident and mature. Her real maturity showed when she rejects Daniel's proposal. Again I was fearing that she will accept his proposal because in the original she does become his girlfriend but I was proved wrong once again.

 The second leads Daniel and SeRa were so good that you couldn't help but feel for them when they were in pain and you couldn't help but feel happy for them in their happiness. I think I've never loved a second lead as much as I loved these both. I did feel that SeRa had a lot less screen time, she was practically non existent in the first half. On the other hand I was so fucking glad that she didn't turned out to be a evil witch like aana in the original. 

Same goes for Daniel. I was waiting for the time when I would be annoyed by him but that time never came. Other characters like Halmoni, Ssambop lady, secretary tak, Yong, stepmother, lawyer, hamo hamo duo and even the triplets sisters were so fun to watch. The character that slightly annoyed me would be Mi-ja. I found her a bit selfish. I hated how she from being the biggest cheerleader of Gun went totally against him when Daniel came in the picture and then all of a sudden she forgets Daniel and is giving a housewarming party to Gun and Mi-young. Lol okay 

I was completely unaware of the explosive chemistry that people claimed they; Jang Hyuk and Jang NaRa had in the successful story of a bright girl but after watching them together here I will say that people were justified in going crazy over them then. If you looking for show where the lead couple would just give you feels by standing next to each other then this is the show for you. The chemistry between them in this show is off the charts they not only communicate with dialogues but they communicate with their eyes and gestures as well. They go so well with each other and they have set the bar so high that it will be difficult for me to find a couple which is this good. Good thing I've yet to see successful story of a bright girl. 

I would really like thank Jang Hyuk and Jang NaRa for putting a life into these characters. I can never imagine anyone else playing the role of Lee Gun and Kim Mi-young as good as they have done. Kudos to them and a big applause. 

I also liked the fact that this show was not draggy at all. All the things were solved at the right time. And it also had the perfect ending I've seen in a k drama. Not that abrupt 5 minutes ending you usually get. Instead the writers took their time in giving our OTP their perfectly happily ever after. The show could have ended the at episode 19 but the writers gave us a perfect epilogue in episode 20. A complete closure.

 Lastly I would just say that if you are looking for a Rom com that is actually a Rom com and not a melodrama then this show is for you. If you looking for a show which has mind blowing chemistry between the leads, a perfect romance and humour with the right amount of angst, kisses that are actually kisses, plot devices that actually make sense, good dialogue, wonderful OST, perfect second leads, lots of bromance, a show that is actually better than the original then this show is for you. I hope you all give it a chance. Its too good to miss out. I had such a fun time writing reviews and watching it live with the other fated fanatics.

Fated to love you ~ Episode 20 - Finale- Review

I have a big ass smile on my face, I thought I’d be crying but my heart is full of joy. At the moment it is filled with warm and fuzzy feelings. It has been such a joy watching and writing for fated to love you. Once in a while you come across a show that hits you right in the feels and fated was that show for me. It’s very, very rare to find a show and love each and every moment of it. Fated to love you became that show to me don’t know when I will actually find another show that will have this effect on me again.

Episode 20 served as a perfect epilogue to the story of Lee Gun and Kim Mi-young, I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to this perfect drama. All the things that we wanted to be included were there, I am very satisfied fan right now.

The wedding was simply gorgeous. Gun and Mi-young were glowing with happiness! The faces looked so radiant. I loved, loved, and LOVED their vows Simple and heartfelt. 

I, Lee Gun. I, Kim Mi Young. Take you, Kim Mi 

Young, to be my wife. Take you, Lee Gun, to be my husband. I promise that I will love you 

and adore you all the days of my life...until death do us part. No, even after death. I promise that I will love you forever.

I was really glad that Ssambop lady showed up actually I knew that she will show up. How can she miss the wedding of her beloved daughter and Gun whom she adores so much. Grandma Wang was overflowing with happiness too! I loved the whole wedding setup, it didn’t feel rushed it didn’t hurried. It was perfect for our snail couple.

Then there was honeymoon, it was simply beautiful. I loved the scene where they are driving to Jeju Island. 

When Gun asked Mi-young to kiss her at each traffic light I wondered how PDnim and writernim come up with such unique things that make me go aww. 

And then Mi-young drives the car instead of Gun, Gun gets the perfect opportunity to kiss her again and again. It was too cute. The sweetness of that whole scene was difficult for me to handle.

The scene where Mi-young and Gun are dancing by the poolside it was so beautiful and romantic.

 I loved that Mi-young talked about her father. We know that she really loved her father, he was mentioned here and there in the earlier episodes but we never really saw her talk about him so it was nice to see that she was talking about her dad with Gun.

I saw many people criticizing the writers for giving us Macao 2.0 I’ll just say it’s just a show, I don’t think we should take everything so seriously. It was just shown in light humor and fun. I totally the understand the sentiments of the fans and like Gun said that it spoiled their first night together as a couple but what can you expect from Halmoni when Gun tells her that she shouldn’t expect a baby from the for the first 6 months.

The “rice cakes” scene was by the way so erotic. I mean you just can’t watch that this type of scene with your family. It was pretty obvious with what they were doing with those grunts and moans and ooh’s and aah’s and those hand gestures! OMG don’t even go there.

The hug they share in the bed before the rice cake scene was sweet...I don’t know I just loved it how tightly they hugged each I don't know I just loved it how tightly hugged each other. 

When they both find out that it was Yong and secretary tak that drugged them I loved how Mi-young is calm at first but tak says something and she's like a crazy lioness ready to attack them. It was Gun who was had to calm her down, I loved how he keeps patting her on the back to calm her. 

We also got to see first fight between Gun and Mi-young between a married couple. It was cute. 

The scene where Gun tells the lady that Mi-young is a famous artist you can see how proud he is of her sucess. Aww We are too Gun, we are too. 

There were two scenes that tugged my heartstrings. One was the one where they both are laying outside near the pool side and reminiscing about the old times. They look so happy together and so in love. They talked abput and how their farte to be with each other actually began.

Mi-young: "I think it all started

the moment you called me the goddess of fortune in Macao."

Gun: "I think we were fated to end up like this from the moment we ran together to find the ring. I thought that fate was something special, but it doesn't seem to be now. The one in front of me right now. I'm fine with everything as long as I'm with her. I can't imagine loving anyone else but her. I think that's what fate is."

Mi-young: "I'm fine, even if we aren't fated to love each other because I'd still love you like fate."

Gun: "Mi Young. If we live together one day you might have a very difficult and sad time because of me or my illness."

Mi-young:"Gun. Don't be afraid. Let's do our best to love each other and to be happy together every day and every moment of our lives."

Gun: "I'll make a vow to the star that I'll love you

every day like fate until the day all the stars are gone."

Mi-young: "I'll love you every day like fate until the day all the stars are gone."

The second scene was the one where they show them making love for real this time. While the first one was erotic, this one was tender and sweet. 

I am so happy they showed a real love making scene. The way they both undress each other and then kiss and then lay down on the bed and kiss again and then Gun goes to neck and kisses her there. I wouldn't have asked for a better love making scene than the one we got. Thank you writers for fulfilling our wishes. 

I am glad that everyone got their happy ever after. Yong and Ji-yeon, Daniel and SeRa, even omma and Dr octopus!! Who would have thought LOL.

Daniel and SeRa finally find each other. I teared up when SeRa calls him oppa. It was a very deserved happy ever after for them. 

About Gun's health I was glad the writers showed us that he was healthy and there was no sign of the disease yet and they left it to our imagination to what happens to him in the future. I think that was the perfect way to close the Huntington's chapter, after all Gun's father was never diagnosed either so it makes sense that Gun is safe too. I would have have been disappointed if they would have showed us that Huntington's scare was a false alarm and Gun's family actually doesn't have that disease. After all what they have been through it wouldn't have made sense. I am happy they left it open-ended.

 In the end we see our precious couple living happily ever after with their twins. Aww I knew they would have twins they were so many hints in the earlier episodes. Gun's wish to have blissful married life before they plan for a baby was not fulfilled LOL but he was so happy at the time. Halmoni was over the moon LOL. The way she was jumping and dancing, for a minute I got scared for her sanity. 

The last scene with the twins Lee ye na and lee seok was perfect way to show us how Gun and Mi-young were blissfully happy and content with their lives and when they played Jang NaRa's Song "snail" at the background! OH MY FEELS.

3 years have passed and Gun loves her more than ever. I found it cute how he kept telling her that she shouldn't worry he has already fed them and she should just eat her own meal. For a minute I thought she might be pregnant or something that's why he's being so protective but then I realized he's Gun! He's always protective. The kids though were lost in their own world. I don't know think they were even listening to the story he was telling them LMAO 

I am perfectly satisfied with the ending.I am glad they got a complete closure. I saw some people saying that the ending and the whole episode in general was overly sweet. I would just say that if it would been the other way round you still wouldn't have been happy. It would have still been 
criticized. So..

Final words; Couldn't have asked for a better ending to this perfect show considering the fact that K dramas are known for its bad and abrupt endings fated to love you gave a very nice closure to the characters of Lee Gun and Kim Mi Young. . . I would like to thank MBC, the writers, producers, directors, the whole fated team and specifically Jang Hyuk and Jang NaRa for giving us a perfect Rom com. There was not a single moment of disappointment. . . I know I am going to watch this show again and again it has become my favorite Korean drama of all my time. It also introduced me to two wonderful actors Jang Hyuk and Jang NaRa. I am going miss them together on screen. Hoping to see them again together soon.
