W-Two Worlds KDrama Review

Image
Take a look at the below picture really close and tell me if it doesn't give away the entire story line of the Drama! W was an entirely new attempt on KDrama story line. The Directors/ Producers and Actors put a lot at stake and took a chance with this Story but as the charts say it, This is one of the top rated Drama's and their hard work was not at all in Vain. This first thing I learnt while watching this series was the Korean Word-'Manhwa' which means Web Toon. Kudos to the person who actually came up with the idea of a parallel world which exists along side the real world. Lee Jong-suk  who plays the lead actor in the series also plays the lead in the Web Toon featured in the series. A web toon coming to life, persons from the real world travelling into the web toon and vice versa, Characters in the web toon disappearing once their role is done, A love story between the two worlds and finally a happy ending- This series has it all. The background scores

Bring it on Ghost! - KDrama Review

Image
Its just been a week since my last KDrama review and here I am again writing a review about one more amazing KDrama I've watched. Will I recommend this to others? Yes, Most Certainly. I had so much fun watching this series. There was never a dull moment in the show and all the episodes are 16 hours power packed laughter, ghost fighting and little bit of ghost human romance. I loved all the characters in this Drama, Starting with  Ok Taec-yeon . At first you might think, hey this guy seems a little different. But as you keep watching the drama, you'd probably say to yourself, hey this guy seems a bit cute and eventually by the end of the drama you might totally be head over heels with the guy, the character he plays in the series and also the show itself. The leading lady- Kim So-hyun  Is she cute or what! She'd probably set standards for the definition of a Cute Girl. At the start of the Drama, in episode One you might not really call her cute in the school unif

Cinderella and the 4 Knights KDrama Review

Image
Binge watched another Korean drama after a long time. Here is my review on it. This is just like the name says. One Girl, 4 boys and the girl ends up living like a Cinderella at a Sky house where 3 of these 4 knights stay. Like any KDrama, almost all the boys fall for this Cinderella Girl, and there is always that one Boy who is super rude to girl but she falls for him anyways. That is what happened here too. The cast did a wonderful job with their roles and played their part like total Pro's. This is my first time watching a KDrama with  Park So-dam  in it. I'd have to admit, I loved her acting on screen.  Jung Il-woo  also did a good job with this role. This was my third KDrama with his as a lead and franky, I think he did an even more better job in ' High-End Crush '. I watched  Ahn Jae-hyun  in both Blood and My Love from another Star. This was probably the best he performed. Though the story line was way to predictable, Ahn Jae Hyuns character in this D

Talk about things that matter

Ever heard the phrase talk is cheap? I think it's time we reiterated that phrase and make everyone everywhere understand it. You see, these days I'm seeing people making use of words for the the most useless-est things possible. They use words to curse each other, talk bad about each other, plot against each other, hurt each other.. the list seems simply endless. What the Bible says is, when you speak, let your words be seasoned with grace so that everyone who hears it will be benefitted from it. The comparison infact is with salt. How salt adds flavor to absolutely anything, your words are supposed to add flavor to life. I know it is difficult to literally think before every word that comes out of your precious mouth. But for starters, one place I'd recommend you start off with is reminiscing about what you have already spoken and taking time to evaluate yourself. Here are 3 questions you should ask yourself after every conversation 1. Did I really have to say somethin

Little Doggy

Hey Little Doggy . How are you? Do you have a name? Do you have anyone whom you call master? Where do you sleep? Did you have water to drink today? It's really hot outside. I'm sad I'm not able to do anything for you. I'm sad that I don't know if i will ever get to even see you again. I've got a dog at home. She loves me very much. You two could be good friends if you meet. She gets good food to eat and sleeps in luxury. I wonder what have you done to deserve this? I wonder what has my pet dog done to deserve that?

'Come Back Ajusshi'-KDrama Review

Image
Binge watched this entire Korean Series and I have to admit, This is one drama I will definitely recommend to my fellow KDrama Fans. Right from the characters, to the actors to the script, everything is set perfect and is directed just the way you'd imagine it to be. This isn't you're average conventional Korean Drama but a lot more message intertwined to the background story line that keeps the audience thoroughly entertained. What I liked the most: The Lead Actress Oh Yeon Seo who plays the role of Han Hong Nan/Han Gi Tak in the Drama should probably be awarded an Oscar for her acting. Her dialogue delivery and acting style is nothing like anything you usually see. She wears a very powerful attitude and did a wonderful job in the Drama by bringing the tomb boyish character to life. What I did'nt like: The background scores were really interesting at first but once I sat though half of the series I realised the background scores were terribly timed, like

When its time to go, its time to go.

I'm reminded every now and then of my grandmother whom I've lost a month back.  The countless memories I share with her are nothing short of the contents of an encyclopedia. I never really understood when she decided it's time for her to go but one fine day she left. I cried by the bed stand in the hospital beside her lifeless body wrapped inside a blanket and spoke ' Ammama, get up! Ammama, wake up.' She never did. I waited for her to wake up because she looked like she was sleeping. I knew she would wake up because she always did when I called to her. But this time she didn't. The words heart broken, despair, sadness wasn't exactly the right choice of words to describe what I felt. What I felt was rather this- where is my ammama now. She isn't getting up when I ask her to. Where on earth is she? Did she take an immediate staircase to heaven? Or is she still here with me in spirit watching me or she is just gone and that's it. Christianity has t

The most randomest act of kindness to make up for a boring day is when a security guard at the exit of your office door whole heartedly wishes your tired and grumpy self with a warm smile and says - 'Have A Good Day'. # TrueStoriesAtDeloitte

Happy Womens Day

This women's day, I'm reminded of the many wonderful women who keep inspiring me in my day to day life. Working in a organization let by a female CEO is kind of a morale booster reminding me of the fact that women are in fact capable of doing the same things exactly as good as men. Yes, I know we have a lot on our mind,  And Yes, the biggest priority on every woman's mind are first her kids,spouses, parents and then work And Yes, we are not necessarily the world's most awesome fast drivers. But yes, I've seen female police officers on the metro single handedly ward of goons and thugs who make nuisance in the ladies coach, and yes, I have seen grown up women fulfil their responsibility of taking care of their parents much better than their sons- single  handedly managing the hospital trips, the grocery shopping, the cleaning, the medicines, the life changing decision to go ahead or skip the surgery for a sick family member,  and yes, I have seen the countless me

Why Valentines Day?

This Valentine’s Day I'm wiser than the last. I'm reminded that relationships are simply relationships. There is no such thing as a ‘wonderful couple’ or a ‘terrible couple’. There are simply ‘couples’. Man and Woman united by chance or by choice and fated to spend the rest of their lives together for better or for worse. The better being like the icing on the cake when two people get to experience many firsts and get to know each other and be fascinated by everything that is new. The newness of it all seems enthralling and it seems like this is what all the books and fairy tales talk of what love it. On the other side, once the better is over, the worse creeps in. You realize that all the icing is over and all that remains is the ugly cake with all the icing licked off. You can simply throw the ugly cake away, but you don’t. The cake isn't really a cake without the icing and the icing doesn't have any use whatsoever without the cake either. It’s the best and the wors

Does where you live determine how successful/normal you are?

You think postcodes don't matter? You think no matter where you are, your surroundings have no say in determining how successful you are or will become? Think Again. This video I've just found completely changed my thoughts. VIDEO LINK
