hiiiii

welcome to my first k-drama review (hopefully one of many)

I thought I would start with the show Strong Girl Bong-Soon because it is one of my absolute favourites and it has the perfect amount of everything!

*WARNING SPOILERS*

Synopsis –

This drama is about a girl called Do Bong-soon who has superhuman strength which is passed along the women of her family. She is unemployed and is useless at everything besides doing things involving her strength and video games. Thanks to her strength she gets a job of a bodyguard to a rich CEO of a gaming company Ahn Min-Hyuk, who is being blackmailed and therefore enlists her help. The show focuses on her helping him with his problems as well as helping a policeman called Guk-Doo, who she has been in love with for several years with a series of kidnappings that occur in her district.

The series has 16 episode which are each about an hour long. You can find it on most Netflix servers.

Characters –

Park Bo-Young as Do Bong-Soon

One of the reasons I love this drama is because of the female lead. She is amazing as this character and manages to be cute and inspiring at the same time. What I love about her is she isn’t your typical female lead who is constantly in need of help from her male co-stars, instead she is strong and confrontational and isn’t afraid to stand up for herself. She is extremely relatable especially around her crush and is so sweet when she accidentally hurts people with her strength. As the show goes on she learns to control her strength and use it for the good of the people.

Park Hyung Sik as Ahn Min Hyuk

Okay if the synopsis didn’t immediately grab your attention I will give you one reason to watch this show – PARK HYUNG SIK. He is possibly my favourite actor of all time (you might recognise him from Heirs or Suits) and he is AMAZING in this show. His character is hilarious and will honestly make you burst out laughing; but don’t worry you also see his sweet side with his genuine affection for Bong-soon. He also dresses AMAZING and is one of the reasons I’m so in love with him. He is like a little puppy in this show and you will fall in love with him I promise. (I fell in love with him in his first scene when he is riding around the park on his Swegway and black tinted glasses)

Best Scene – When he swoons and fangirls over Bong-Soons video of her saying goodnight to him. (He rewatches it about four times and is then unable to sleep he’s so happy). Look at the last gif of him at the bottom of the blog.

Ji Soo as Guk-Doo

Ji soo plays this character very well and of course he is very good looking. His character is one of those characters that you find funny because when everyone else is being chill he is being completely serious. I actually never shipped him with Bong-Soon but he does make for an interesting love triangle. As well as this he is shipped with Min-Hyuk more times in the show than with Bong-Soon which makes for some amusing scenes.

There are many other amazing characters in this show including Bong-Soon’s parents and the hilarious gangsters that are incapable of beating Bong-Soon. Other characters that I loved were the high school group of boys that became obsessed with Bong-Soon and referred to her as their boss; they even made her a fan website!

Why is this drama so good?

This is one of my favourites as unlike other dramas there aren’t extremely lengthy pauses where the two main characters look into each others eyes for 10 minutes or one of the characters spending a whole episode coming up with reasons why they can’t be together. It is fast paced and has elements of romance, comedy and thriller (through the kidnappings and solving the crime) and will keep you hooked every episode. The romances do not feel forced or rushed but actually come about through real character development; Bong-Soon and Min-Hyuk are possibly my favourite ship ever.

Here are some swoon worthy moments from Min-Hyuk –

 

Overall I would give this drama a 5/5 and strongly recommend it to everyone!!!

Let me know what you thought of it in the comments!

Welcome to my first blog actually about something!!

BTS…where do I start?

This band is a Korean male group made up of 7 members:

Kim Seokjin

Kim Namjoon

 

Min Yoongi

Jung Hoseok

Park Jimin

 

Kim Taehyung

Jeon Jungkook

 

This band is in my opinion (and many others…) the biggest boy band in the world and are become increasingly more popular.

Why?

1. Their songs are SO good
2. Their music videos are amazing (if you are new to them check out DNA and IDOL)
3. They dance incredibly well (check out dance practice of BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS)
4. They have the best fans (They call themselves ARMYS)
5. They all have different but amazing personalities, one of the things ARMYS love most about them is how humble they have stayed
6. They are a “family”
7. They dress better then 99.9% of the population
8. They are SO FUNNY
9. And so many more reasons I can think of

 

Some facts if you have no idea who they are

 

• BTS stands for many things: the original one is “Bangtan Sonyeondan” which means “Bulletproof Boy Scouts” in Korean. It is now widely translated to “Beyond the Scene”
• They have been together for over 5 years
• In March 2016 Forbes named them as the most re-tweeted artist
• As of July 2018 they have won 53 awards
• Kim Namjoon (RM) is the only one to speak fluent english
• ARMY stands of “Adorable Representative M.C for Youth”
• They have sold over 7 million albums globally

 

If you are new to them but want to try out some of their songs I recommend these ones

• CLASSIC HITS – Idol, DNA, Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love, Airplane pt.2
• Mellow tunes – Stigma, Lie, Like (Slow Jam remix), Singularity, Coffee, Embarrassed
• Bops – Dimple, Trivia Seesaw, Mama, I Need U, If I ruled the world

So why was my first blog about BTS, well I don’t wanna sound cliche but BTS have changed my life drastically.

My sister first introduced them to me and after listening to a few of their songs I was instantly attracted, but being an ARMY has opened me up to a whole other world I didn’t know existed. I now listen to many different K-pop artists and am fully obsessed… I don’t remember the last time I added a English spoken song to my playlist. I will be doing other blogs of other K-pop idols such as NCT, Exo and Blackpink as well! Being an ARMY has also brought me close to people I wasn’t close with before and has allowed me to make completely new friends. For example last weekend I went to watch BTS’s documentary in the cinema and now I have a whole new group chat with people I met there.

By listening to K-pop I also got introduced to the world of Korean Dramas and will be posting a lot about them including reviews, so if you are just as obsessed with Descendants of the Sun or Strong girl bong-soon as me stay tuned!

Queen of Obsessions

Thanks for joining me!

 

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog! I am a 16 year old British girl who becomes obsessed with things way too easily. Right now my obsession is everything and anything Korean and that is what my blog will be focused on for the new few months. I created this blog because when I am obsessed with something usually none of my friends share the same interest so I can’t talk to any of them about it; this blog will therefore be me doing reviews, sharing my interests and ranting! ENJOY!
