FRIDAY NIGHT DRAMA: Love Cells

title

With yesterday being Thanksgiving here in the States, it’s safe to say the holiday season is fully upon us. If you’re anything like me, that means from now until the end of the year, life is going to be pretty crazy. With so much going on, it’s hard to find time to sit down and marathon an entire drama, which is why this week, I’m recommending another mini web drama, Love Cells.

1Originally airing on Naver TVCast in November, 2014, Love Cells, is the story of a jobless, pathetic, twenty-something by the name of Ma Dae Choong (Park Sun Ho) whose cat, Nebi (Kim Yoo Jung), is magically transformed into a “love cell,” a sort of mystical matchmaker, if you will. With only a month left before Dae Choong is doomed to the life of a bachelor forever, Nebi must transform him into the leading man of his own romantic story by helping him win the heart of the beautiful idol, Seo Rin (Nam Ji Hyun). It’s certainly not an easy job but Nebi never gives up, especially not when her life’s on the line!

You know, I’ve probably already said too much about this drama, just in that short little recap, so I’m not going to say a whole lot more. (Thus the problem or reviewing mini-dramas, I suppose.) What I will say is that this drama is super silly but it’s also pretty darn cute. Dae Choong is a likeable enough fellow and Nebi is adorable. The drama is based on a webtoon so you can imagine things are pretty unrealistic (because the magic love cell cat wasn’t enough of a tip-off…) but sometimes you just need a little silly in your life. The cameos in this drama are fantastic. I was rolling on the floor during some of them (you’ll know which ones without me saying anything) while others shocked the snot out of me, in a good way, of course. (Again, you’ll know what I’m talking about as soon as this person steps into the shot.)

I rather enjoyed this drama, silliness and all. I just wasn’t a fan of the ending. Not because it was a bad ending, by any means. It was actually what I wanted… Sort of. I can’t say anything without giving it away so you’re just going to have to watch it and then come back and talk to me. Of course if you’ve already watched this one, you could go ahead and tell me what you thought of it in the comments below!

TUNE OF THE WEEK: GOT7 “Confession Song”

Group 1

I don’t know how things are for you all this time of year but for me, it’s nothing short of insanity. I’ve spent this entire week baking pies and stuffing and casseroles and snacks and sticky rolls and all the yummy goodness that makes Thanksgiving here in the States the amazing feast-centered holiday of awesome thankfulness that it is. Despite all of this insanity, I’ve managed to find a spare minute or two to squee over GOT7’s new holiday themed “Confession Song.” (What can I say, the fangirl never dies, even when she’s up to her eyeballs in sweet potatoes!)

ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Oh My Venus Episodes 1-2

in the rain

After waiting for what feels like forever, So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah‘s new drama, Oh My Venus, has finally started airing and since I can’t say no to anything with So Ji Sub in it, I had to start watching it. Of course it took all of 2 seconds of So Ji Sub screen time to convince me I wanted to keep watching this drama but I wasn’t quite as convinced it was one I wanted to review. And yet, here I sit, writing this first review which means something had to have happened along the way to convince me this was one worth my time. The question is, what was it?

I just gotta catch up when I can so that’s what I’m doing. Or I will as soon as I stop sobbing over Seo Ha Joon… Curse my weak heart! Always falling for those adorable, wounded, softhearted seconds begging desperately do be loved! Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Cheer Up! Episodes 11-12”

FRIDAY NIGHT DRAMA: Twenty Again

20 again poster

This week’s drama quickly rose to the top of my favorites list when it originally aired. The cast was fantastic, the story was touching and it brought about a lot of self-reflection on my part, which is not something a lot of dramas inspire me to do. When the drama came to an end I was sad to see it go because I felt as if I was being forced to say goodbye to a good friend. Leaving me with so many good vibes, I felt it only fitting to recommend Twenty Again as a this weekend’s drama to marathon. Continue reading “FRIDAY NIGHT DRAMA: Twenty Again”
