I Need Romance 3: Episode 1

I don't have the urge to write this drama review at first. But this drama is sooo good that I have to write something about it. And I fell in love with Sungjoon...'s character. Hehe. The storyline is good and also the songs. I have to write about the songs in another post.

You can find this drama recaps at DramaBeans or KaedeJun.

First episode started with a nice song from Peppermoon, Peu a Peu. It's a French song. I read the lyric translation in Naver. The song really fit the story with a cute and lovely rhythm and lyric.

Like every first episode in drama, we slowly get to know the characters and how they link to each other.

I Need Romance 3: First Impression

It's the third franchise of this drama even it is a different story line from previous dramas. Not a sequel or prequel. Same title, writer and director . The title in Korean is 로맨스가 필요해 3 or short form as 로필3.

The first thing that make me wanted to watch this tvN's Mon-Tue drama is Sung-joon. He is not really my ideal type of man nor do I like him before but he looks adorable and watching him, didn't make me feel annoy like Kim Tan did. Ha!

When DramaCrazy is Gone

I used to watch drama at DramaCrazy.net and when the site is gone, I don't have favourite site to watch new drama. But glad that I finish watching Nine before that.

So, for few months, I watched We Got Married Global and become an avid fan of Daramji Couple (Hongki & Fujii Mina). My favourite place to hangout at that time is Hongki Mina GWGM Official Soompi Thread.

Because I didn't find any good streaming site, I've been reading new drama recaps like I Hear Your Voice and Good Doctor on DramaBeans. The recaps is so good. It's like watching the drama and I have to say thanks to them for saving me an hour from watching the video. It's not that I don't watch the drama at all. After reading the recaps, I can choose which scene and episode I want to watch. This way, I don't have withdrawal syndrome after the drama end.

(Drama) Nine: Time Travel

I just finished watching this tvN's drama - Nine: Time Travel (나인: 아홉 번의 시간여행).

This drama is surprisingly great! No wonder this drama received high feedback score from more than 3000 netizen with 9.8 / 10.

Using time travel theme like Queen In Hyun's Man, you can expect a lot of flashback and fast forward scenes. I guess that's why I had headache while watching episode 10.

The actors did well to portray their character in this 20 episodes drama.

Storyline:
Park Sun Woo ( Lee Jin wook) is an anchorman in CBM. His mother is sick, his brother is dead and he is going to die soon because of brain tumor. He went to Nepal to collect his brother's belongings including an incense. The inspector told him that his brother's body was found with the incense in his hand.

What I love about this drama?
Chemistry between the main actors - Lee Jin Wook and Jo Yoon Hee
The storyline.

Lesson learned:
Going back to the past to change your life is risky (if possible) and you can mess up your future. Just live your life to the fullest everyday.

Watch this drama @ DramaCrazy: Nine: Nine Time Travels

(Drama) The Queen of Office

There are few new dramas that I'm watching now. I love dramas broadcasted on Monday and Tuesday. The Queen of Office (KBS) and Gu Family Book (MBC).

SPOILER ALERT!

The Queen of Office or in Korean 직장의신 (jikjangishin).

직장 - workplace
의 - showing belong to what. Like 's in english. Johnny's eraser.
신 - Goddess. Something like that.

This drama is about life of Korean contract worker. They're struggling just to get the job and then have to worry if the contract will be renewed after 3 months. They have to do minor work which permanent staff won't do like stapling paper, copy worksheet, and cutting paper for recycle. Discrimination in office between permanent staff and contract staff.

Juri is a freshman with a study loan and house rent to be paid. While Juri have to convince the two Sales & Marketing managers of YJang - Manager Jang and Manager Mu to hire her, Miss Kim is a professional contract worker invited by YJang.

Ms. Kim is mysterious woman. She doing work exactly like what stated in her manual - yes, Ms. Kim's Manual - and contract. Other than that, she should receive overtime pay. And she strictly doesn't want to get along with her office mates because from her view, after her contract finish, they won't see each other again. So why bother to try to get along and know each other.

Other important characters are Jang Gyujik (Marketing Team Head) and Mu Jeonghan (Support Team Head). These four people - Juri, Ms. Kim, Gyujik & Jeonghan - somehow connected with each other.

Flashback few years before.
It is a Christmas night. A group singing Christmas carol. Juri sits with her boyfriend at the bench. Her boyfriend propose her and they kiss. FRU (Special Unit Force to handle street rally.) officer cheering the couple from their bus. And suddenly, a bank nearby them explode. Juri see a woman run to the exploded bank. Wanted to get in because her office mate still in there.

Juri - being proposed by her boyfriend.
Ms. Kim - The woman who run to the exploded bank.
Mu Jeonghan - He went for his army service and appointed to FRU.
Jang Gyujik -  His mother is Ms. Kim's office mate. Her mother died on that day.

Comment:
I like this drama. The storyline is good. Maybe because I have experienced life as a job seeker so I can relate a few things about that in this drama. I kind of surprise to see that this drama ends on 16th episode.
