Currently Watching :: A Lot

I think I am going to start doing this "Currently Watching" post once a week... what I'm watching always changes and I like sharing it with you guys so I can get your opinions/feedback.

Still Watching

Bachelor's Vegetable Store :: The season finale of this series will air on Friday night. I wish I could say I'm sad to see this drama end but frankly I'm not. Barely anything has happened in the past 16 episodes and I felt like the last two episodes I watched were overflowing with "progress." Its super unfortunate because I really wanted to love this drama but it just sucks. 

Too many tears. Too little character development. No real connection anymore - just annoyance.

Last Episode Watched - 18

Shut Up Flower Boy Band :: Still loving this drama but I'm beginning to wonder where they are going to go with the storyline. Six episodes in and a lot has already happened but what now? 

But hey there are like 6 hot guys in this drama and awesome music. Not gonna complain.

Last Episode Watched -  6

Just Started Watching

Iris :: I feel dumb for taking this long to watch this drama. Despite being a budget breaking blockbuster this drama could have been all talk, but instead it had my heart racing from the first moment. I definitely get a City Hunter action vibe from this series and am really intrigued to see if there will be a romance factor just as fiery. 

Not to mention the all star cast! 

Last Episode Watched -  3.

Princess Jellyfish :: After watching a bit of Fruits Basket the other day I was missing anime - badly. Being out of the anime game for a bit I really wasn't sure what to watch. Luckily @WelcomeGhosts was able to give me a few suggestions and Princess Jellyfish was one of them.

This is a nice change of pace from all the dramas I've been watching. Super lighthearted and great animation this series is making miss anime!!! Maybe its time to re-watch Peach Girl too! lol.

Last Episode Watched - 4

Bachelor's Vegetable Store :: First Thoughts

A couple of days ago I told you about several dramas I was wanting to watch. Well I finally decided on one to watch - Bachelor's Vegetable Store.. Here's what I have to say about it.

Bachelor's Vegetable Store is the story about a young man's journey to create what will be later be a highly, successful franchise in Korea. I really didn't do much reading about this drama beforehand except for the fact that Wang Ji Hye would be one of the lead females. ANd wow. I was in for a shock!

I should forewarn everyone that I generally tend to watch romantic comedies. Why? Because who doesn't love a good love story with a few laughs! Seriously though, I stick to romantic comedies because I don't like being sad or seeing someone die. Simply not enjoyable to me.

Clearly I should have read a little more about this drama before I started watching. Its a MELOdrama. Therefore this drama was created to exploit the viewer's emotions as much as possible and boy does it!

While I don't want to give anything away just yet since this drama is still really new (only 8 episodes have aired so far) I will say that despite its sad and sometimes creepy undertones I can see the sunshine on the horizon. The main character, Tae Yang has an incredible spirit that is not over the top but rather just enough it be almost inspiring.  I can see that good things are coming for him and I want to do be there when they do! Plus I truly love the actors! They are doing such a great job of connecting with the viewers, especially the child actors used in the first two episodes. uh-MAZING.

Oh Jae Moo does a great job getting your sympathy!!

I will admit that this drama isn't something I would have chose to watch had I known it wasn't just a straight romance but in the end I'm glad I did. Its good to leave your comfort zone every once and awhile.

So be sure and check it out! You can watch it over on Dramafever.

Currently Watching :: OVERLOAD

Since I've been watching so much We Got Married it seems I have fallen behind on my dramas! There are so many out there that I currently want to watch I thought I would give you a heads up about what kdramas are on my "to be watched" list...

Already Aired KDramas to be Watched

Dream High

My manager swears by this drama and thats saying a lot. After watching BOF she seriously couldn't watch any other kdrama until she decided to watch Dream High. One of the reason it didn't initially catch my eye because there are no stand out familiar faces I loved. Reason I want to watch it now? Other than the fact that I will get eternal love from my manager, I also want to watch this drama because Dream High 2 will be premiering at the end of the month. Its not very often that kdramas get a second season (even though its a whole new cast) so Dream High must be worth the hype. We'll see.




Flower Boy Ramyun Shop

Again, within the world of kdramas there are very few that get sequels or second seasons. Flower Boy Ramyun Shop is actually a part of Oh! Boy Series that will entail several different shows. While the Oh! Boy Series deserves a post on its own (which I'm sure I'll get around to but you'll just have to head over to Dramabeans in the meantime) but basically all the dramas in this series will be aimed at younger audience with pretty "flower boy" leads. Honestly I didn't know all this until just the other day but it sounds like a good thing, well at least if you're a female viewer! lol. Anyways its on my to do list.


Currently Airing Drama to be Watched

Bachelor’s Vegetable Store

This drama I want to watch for the sole purpose of Wang Ji Hye. If you don't remember she is the same actress who played in both Personal Taste & Protect the Boss. While she usually plays a cutthroat, evil character I'm hoping that she will actually be his leading lady. I really have no clue but saw that she was in this drama and instantly wanted to watch.

As soon as I wrap up this post I'll probably start watching one of these dramas. Let me know if you have seen or are watching any of these dramas because its always fun to share the journey! lol. I hope you all have a great night/morning!
