“I like you.”
I AM SUPPOSED to be working on my exchange piece rn, but I keep on getting distracted by this NEED to draw these two! Never have I watched a drama as pure as this one, 11/10 would recommend, it’s so good and nice and pure

kdrama review
weightlifting fairy kim bok joo
if you're looking for a light hearted drama with its fair share of entertainment, kim bok joo is for you.
i. strong female lead - personally, i liked how bok joo is so strong, physically and mentally, but that never stopped her from needing or wanting joon hyung.
ii. unnecessary love triangle - honestly speaking, the drama was absolute perfection if it had not been for the idiotic love triangle. this love triangle between joon hyung, bok joo and jae yi was so ridiculous it made me cringe. but i liked how it was important for bok joo's realisation that she was a 'lady' too.
iii. the cutest friendships EVER - the trio of the three friends and joon hyung's cute bestfriend was the best part of the show. they managed to show friendship struggles perfectly balanced with the romancey parts.
iv. i loved how they showed that weightlifting being a taxing sport on one's feminity took a toll on bok joo and that she did recover from it, with her own time and struggles.
v. they could've done without the ex girlfriend and childhood crush trope, but the mother and adopted family plotline was pretty cute and well executed.
all in all, if u like cute boys, wholesome friendships, clueless girls and cute families, kim bok joo is for you!
(special mention for kang ki young for being his amazing adorable self as always. he's like the pankaj tripathi or raju srivastava of korean dramas - always there somehow)

sh**ting stars
review coming soon!
it's time for
sh**ting stars !
look at them.
i will never understand why it's censored.
welcome back to unwanted reviews <3 today we're talking about shooting stars, a series that is not well known but one of the best ones out there.
we've got our fighter oh han byul and rich hot traumatised gong tae sung, college (?) friends but working enemies transition to (obviously) lovers.
i. well-placed transition between friendship to crush to love to hatred to love again from both the sides, tbh. it was difficult to see han byul feel anything during the first few episodes but loved the way lee sung kyung brought her to life. han byul was treated as a proper working woman, who was not some miracle worker or anything, but her journey of learning and growing was explored well.
ii. all bow down before kim young dae. istg, i completely understood the hype about tae sung in the series. also, kdrama actors look better with their hair pushed back and you can't fucking change my mind. this man was the perfect example of petty but i think he redeemed himself well. his bromance with almost every male character in the show was simply *chef's kiss*
iii. side characters special shoutout they were so cute, everyone ended up together like one happy family. it's like watching your kids grow up and all marry each other. (quote: the office us). special mention to tae sung's manager bec damn that actor was a pain. manager was also pretty dumb in the beginning but he made up by helping tae sung flirt with han byul.
iv. han byul and tae sung were SO cute together. the ending scene was so wholesome and gave me sm closure on the entire series, it made me cry. also, the way she never gave a crap about his celebrity status when he kept DOING COOL THINGS AND MA'AM NEVER PAID ATTENTION i felt so bad for tae sung
v. those two side actors getting married was cute and deserves a special point.
8/10, sung kyung never fails to impress (kim bok joo????) and young dae stole my heart. it was so weird seeing lee jung shin in c4k after this but love him all the same. loved kim yoon hye's diverse roles from vincenzo to this she was absolutely amazing.
go watch shooting stars, honestly.
oh sorry, sh**ting stars. (honestly, is there something im missing? WHY IS IT CENSORED??)
8/10
My Top 5 KDrama Recs
you're in for a bumpy ride *finger guns*
#5 - weightlifting fairy kim bok joo/ strong girl do bong soon
such feel good dramas. if you're looking for a light hearted watch, something to get you out of your kdrama slump, this one's for you. strong girls, cheesy simp boys, good friendships and good feels all around. ignore the sub plot in do bong soon and you'll be happier than ever.
#4 - doom at your service
the thing. with this. was. I LOVED THE CONCEPT. ive basically ranted about the concept in the review, but yes. the visuals are pretty good, with some cute rain and garden scenes and fated for each other thingamajig. little girl god is there, bonus visuals of seo in guk reversing with hand on back of car seat and parking ticket in his mouth. ps - second couple was everything.
#3 - vincenzo
Hollywood should really stop trying to make action/crime/mafia movies because Vincenzo made me believe koreans have cracked the code. i mean, the action, the subtle romance, the equal bad assery of BOTH male and female leads, + some really iconic lines. you WILL NOT find a hotter villain (jang han seok ily), a more annoying side villain ( choi myeong hui die again), or a better character arc ( jang han seo my beloved). amazing.
#2 - our beloved summer
welcome to me ranting about my favs again. very topsy turvy but feel good drama, slow and equal paced with real people. it's a heavy watch, so be sure you're ready when you dive in. it takes some time to love it, but once you do, you love it too much.
#1 - guardian: the lonely and great god
gong yoo and lee dong woo. that should be enough reason. plotline 5 stars, action, visuals 4 stars, romance 4.5 stars, bromance 174634 stars, second lead couple 5 stars, JUST WATCH IT
again, im still in the process of watching new dramas, so I'll put up a new and updated list soon!
