Pinocchio- Episode 11

That moment when you woke up from insobriety, only to realise that it was your crush who carried your heavy ass back home, you only understood that there was no going back into time. So let’s hashtag all those regretful feelings cornered at your heart.
#regrets

“Please turn yourself in.” “Let me be the one to fight her”

Heroic scenes will only and be only existed in drama.

“Just give up on me, so that you can fight my mother properly.”

While in reality, it’s not really that easy to give up on your crush, especially on the feelings you hold towards her (since high school). She is probably trying to lie to herself deep inside, attempting to convince herself that she is able to stand watching him do that on her.

MUACKS!

So I am back for recapping after live-streamed K-drama. Have you all been anticipating this episode and my comeback? It has been a year and I sincerely hope my understanding towards the Korean language has improved a bit. *finger-crossed*

Seven Deadly Sins

“I learn how to love and it’s a terrible thing. It hurts. My heart hurts.”

Lust- You Who Came From the Stars
Because everyone wanted an extension to the supposedly 20-episodes-long series. So it got extended.  There was even a short extended epilogue to its finale, that (successfully) pacified some lustful audiences. You know what they say, some things are meant not to be said, in this case, to be seen. Likewise,  it would have been more discreet to keep their romance as secret and allow the audiences’ imagination do the work.

 

“To you who used to eat a lot of rice because you are lonely…

To you who sleeps a lot because you are bored…

To you who cries a lot because you are sad…

I write this down.

Chew on your feelings that are cornered like you would chew on rice.

Anyway, Life is……something that you need to digest.”

Gluttony- Let’s Eat
Being one of its faithful sinner, when it first premiered, I was so excited by this promising plot. But eventually I stopped at the 3rd episode, not because there was too much food. But the story itself was plainly not my taste.

 

“I do politics to save life, not to end lives.”

Greed- Secret Door
If only Prince Sado did not die that way.

 

“People I know run from injustice, and hurt others to protect themselves. But you’re different from the people I know.”

Sloth- High School Love On
If it wasn’t because of the format – one episode per week, it would be labelled as one of my top listed drama. Anyway, I did really cry a river throughout this series. Definitely a heart-touching and warm drama.

 

“Feeling embarrassed is for people who did something wrong. You didn’t do anything wrong, so there is no reason for you to feel embarrassed. You should rather feel proud. You created your own destiny and now you’ve become a great woman.”

Wrath- Joseon Gunman
Everyone is filled with anger and eagerness to take revenge, except for that king. Everyone should have just aimed their rifles at him.

 

Envy-The Night Watchman
I anticipated a lot from Jung il Woo, especially after his previous huge disappointing drama (Golden Rainbow). Somehow I think it’s because KBS has brought the audiences Joseon Gunman, so feeling the competition, MBC decides to give us this at last minute.

 

Because I am afraid to be happy. My family… They ended up like that because of me. How could I be happy? It’s not that I won’t answer. It’s that I can’t.

Pride (And Prejudice)
Prosecutors and lawyers never did impress me. Since it is still an on-going project, so let’s just sit back, relax and see what the producers can provide us with.

 

Extras:

Healer & Pinocchio

“My cellphone has exactly 3 numbers. Ahjumma, my worker and my favourite chicken delivery. Classmates, friends? I don’t keep those. I don’t understand why I would need any of them.”

With Secret Door beautifully wrapped up with a questionable ending, I thought it’s about time I search high and low for a new drama to fill up my free time. Although Pinocchio has started out as an interesting series, but having watched Can You Hear My Voice previously, I no longer think the plot brought out by the same writer and producers can grasp my attention. Yes, there will be nostalgia and that old sense of feeling lingering around, but that will just be reminiscences for us to hold on. And what are K-dramas for? To bring out the fresh feeling of not knowing what to expect in each episode. So I got into Healer in the end, and I have to say it is not bad at all. The classic line is already quoted up there along with 2 pictures, and I am so sorry that I have had not edit them. Anyway, keeping the originality is what I do best. Oh, I mean being lazy.

As comparison to Healer, Pinocchio provides less action scenes and abs. So being good at what it is at, we witness more romantic moments between the leads.

I have so much to say about this couple, especially Shin Hye’s acting. It is not that I am being an ultimate mean hater, but to be frank *hiccup*, her acting has not *hiccup* been improving since The Heirs. I truly feel bad for the Korean industry in terms of finding good actresses. It seems like all the good ones are getting a little tiny bit too old for acting as a young ladies. Think about it, we have gone through You Came From The Stars, Can You Hear My Voice, Secret Garden (okay that’s an old drama)…. Fine, just forget what I said and let’s thank Shin Hye for making good efforts in acting out that romantic kiss scene. She deserves high praise and compliments for that.

Thus, let’s end this post with a nice quote from Pinocchio too. “The secret that I want to keep hidden was found out by the one person who never should’ve known.”

You Came From The Stars-Episode 19

There is no deny that this is the most favourable and uprising drama that has caught everyone’s hearts. Aside from the hot main actor-Kim Soo Hyun, there is also god-given beautiful main actress to act along with him. And with that, we have a compatible couple. But since we are 2 episodes away from the ending, the results of liking the scriptwriter or not will depend on the drama’s own fate. So….is there anyone hoping for a bad ending? Because I am so going to knock your head.
