Zombie: Can you believe it? The end of Emergency Couple has finally come… *sniff sniff* Yes, I’m holding back my tears… but honestly, it’s not because this drama has ended, it’s more “I don’t want to say goodbye to my lovely friends!” Continue reading “HALLYU ZOMBIE DRAMA REVIEW: Emergency Couple Episodes 20-21 (4/4)”
HALLYU ZOMBIE DRAMA REVIEW: Emergency Couple Episodes 20-21 (3/4)
Emergency Couple has officially ended. What will I watch now? The ending was nice, but the story still left me scratching my head. My name is Karen and it has been a pleasure for me to write Emergency Couple Hallyu Zombie reviews with my partners, Zombie Mamma and Tanya. Over the course of eleven weeks, we have experienced the ups and downs of our Emergency Couple couples so I would like to give my final thoughts on each couple.

HALLYU ZOMBIE DRAMA REVIEW: Emergency Couple Episodes 20-21 (2/4)
Well, as they say “all good things must come to and end.” That’s now the case for Emergency Couple as its last two episodes aired, but I am left feeling content overall. The struggle of these characters over the past 11 weeks didn’t necessarily make sense at first, but once you look past the minor details you can definitely enjoy the storyline. Let’s jump into the last two episodes. Continue reading “HALLYU ZOMBIE DRAMA REVIEW: Emergency Couple Episodes 20-21 (2/4)”
Release The Fangirl! VIXX TV
Being a devout St★rlight, Tuesdays have become my favorite day of the week and I’m sure all of my fellow St★rlights know why…
RELEASE THE FANGIRL! CNBLUE “Truth”
So every once in a while I’ll stumble upon a video on YouTube that just suddenly makes me go all squishy inside and I wanna share all of my fangirl gushings with the world. The problem is, I could never figure out exactly how or where to do that, until now… Welcome to “Release the Fangirl!” From now on, whenever I find something that strikes my fangirl fancy, I’m gonna share it with the world for no other reason than simply “because I can” so if fangirling isn’t your thing, you may wan to just pass this one by.

HALLYU ZOMBIE DRAMA REVIEW: Emergency Couple Episodes 20-21 (1/4)
Though it’s hard to believe, this week brings with it the final episodes of Emergency Couple and while this drama and I got off on the wrong foot, I’ll be the first to admit that this drama has steadily grown on me, so much so that I’m actually a little sad to be saying my final farewells.

MUSINGS OF A K-POP FANGIRL: Beware The Bias-Wreckers!
As a K-Pop fangirl, having a list of biases a mile long is nothing new… Well, at least for me it isn’t. Being a serious multi-fan, I’m always adding new idols to my bias list and I’m cool with that. I spend hours scouring the internet for new bands and comebacks, just looking to add another song to my ever-growing K-Pop playlist but every once in a while, as I’m bopping my way along a new (or even not so new) band will sneak up out of nowhere and… BAM! Suddenly my bias list has a six new members that I never saw coming. Continue reading “MUSINGS OF A K-POP FANGIRL: Beware The Bias-Wreckers!”
TUNE OF THE WEEK: Park Hyo Shin “Wild Flower”
Okay, so I fell a little behind this week, but we’re going to retroactively enjoy my Tune of the Week for last week: Park Hyo Shin’s “Wild Flower.”
Sure, I could post a bunch of screen caps, but rather than overwhelm the simplicity of the video and his beautiful voice I’m just going to tell you to trust me. Go watch it!
HALLYU ZOMBIE DRAMA REVIEW: Bride of the Century Episodes 11-12 (2/2)
Tanya: I’m seriously disappointed in ALL of the characters in Bride of the Century this week. I mean, what is this?! Let’s-go-back-to-middle-school-time? How can Doo Rim makes everything her fault and then get angry when Kang Ju blames her? And what is with this childish revenge, Kang Ju? Seriously.

Friday Night Drama: All About My Romance
As you can tell, I’m not Zombie Mamma (sorry). Like Karen did last week, I am filling in for her. Don’t worry, she’ll be back next week and all will be back to normal.
For this week’s Friday Night Drama, I bring you one of the best romantic comedies with a great ending (a rare thing in the K-Drama world :p): All About My Romance starring Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung. Have you ever watched a drama and complained about too many useless side characters? Well then you’re in luck, there are zero useless characters here and everyone somehow contributes to the story. I know not everyone is into political dramas especially when they’re wrapped up as comedies, but this one really did good in the balancing department. The politics portion can be a bit overwhelming at times in the beginning, but that takes a backseat when Kim Soo Young (SHK) and Noh Min Young (LMJ) starts up.
Let’s give a little bit of a background on this one, Soo Young and Min Young are from two different political parties and end up having a secret relationship, why? Because how else would they be able to date without anyone interfering? Well sneaking around isn’t as good as one would like to think and our dear couple spent a lot of time hiding out from their colleagues in dressing rooms, under tables, and they just sometimes ran away.
Of course with this being a rom com, or K-Drama in general, the couple can’t be happy all the way ’til the end. It’s just K-Drama Rule #501 that states we must have a second lead who never gets a hint that the main lead doesn’t like them. I mean, it has to happen in order for the OTP to be happy. So who’s the second lead who has to have Soo Young all to herself? Reporter Ahn Hee Sun who has followed Soo Young around for years in hopes that she can finally win his heart, but alas that isn’t possible. I mean, Min Young already kissed his chest before they got together so it was only a matter of time before it become official.
Without giving too much away, each character was funny in their own way from Soo Young’s aides to Min Young’s colleagues and even her own family. The comedic timing was perfect and there wasn’t a dull moment in this 16 episode series. So if you want to watch a fun, light-hearted drama to give a balance to all those melos/revenge dramas you’re watching, try All About My Romance.
Fun Fact: This is actually based on a novel of the same title by Lee Eung Joon.
