Dear screenwriter Bo-Ra-Yoo - K-Drama review "Just between lovers"

 





I prepared a box of tissues and stayed up all night to watch "Just between lovers" or "Rain or Shine" Yes, both are the titles of the drama.

Okai Guys! My first K-Drama review on this blog

I like to write spoilers, if you can't stand it,

this blog is not for you :P

I'm going to remind you of all your favorite old k-dramas but I will start with my favorite one from my top ten Kdramas. 

I'm a sucker for happy endings so be prepared for me to yell at every screenwriter who makes my favorite characters die.

Just between lovers is number one in my k-drama top ten. ์ด์ค€ํ˜ธ is also my favorite actor. I've seen so many K-dramas that I've lost count, but whenever someone asks me which one is my favorite, I don't hesitate, I don't blink, I just respond "Rain or shine." The feeling I experienced while watching it was indescribable, it was a rollercoaster of emotions. 
Let me tell you something about loss: you never get over it! Not when it happens and never after. And if your dreams come crashing down, you'll be terribly miserable until you find another purpose in life. It felt so familiar since it was exactly what happened to me while doing one of my favorite things that I like "snowboarding." After an injury, I asked the doctor if I could do snowboarding again and he answered: "ask me if you could walk again." And it felt so familiar because my Jun-ho in "Just between lovers” went through something similar when he couldn't play soccer after he was severely injured in the mall that day, and he was almost buried under the ruins when the mall collapsed.
"Just between lovers" is about FATED LOVE. The love that saves us, that is what you need to know. I am not going to tell you the synopsis since you can find it all over the internet. 

Teenage traumas and tragedies... Death and healing. Hope... and that's all I needed while watching it. I loved how strong the main characters overcame every obstacle they faced, and how no matter how hard life got, they didn't give up on each other.

Dear screenwriter Bo-Ra-Yoo, 

You're awesome and I wish you'd write 100 scripts and more like "Just between lovers" you know? But while watching so many times, I wanted to ask you, why this happened to my Jun-ho and why you let him suffer like this. Then, I realized life is just like this unfair and cruel and mostly to the good people.  

You are my favorite writer and one day I hope my novels turned into K-dramas. 

I watched "Just between lovers" countless times and every time I watch it, I experienced new waves of emotions. Every time I finished watching it, I sit with myself thinking about what was on your mind while writing this wonderful, heartbreaking and breathtaking K-drama that will always be my number ONE.

True, it was an emotional rollercoaster, but when I got to the end the first time I watched it, I didn't want it to end. When I realized it had the happiest ending I could ever imagine after all the struggle and pain that my beloved main leads had gone through, my agony watching them suffer went away, and in the end, it was worth all the pain for them to have their happy ending. You made me believe that there is still magic in this world and that love conquers and saves us all.

         
 I RATE THIS K-DRAMA

Kiss Goblin K-drama

 Talking about the most underrated K-drama I have ever seen.    I still don't understand why he wants to be human... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜†  A 160-year-old goblin knew that in order to become human he needed to kiss 10 girls. The love story is very interesting.  He met a girl who is sick of people, who suffered from a horrible breakup and keeps saying that she hates people.  And look at her falling for a 160-year-old goblin... She works in a cafe and to add to the miserable things that happened to her, the customers were all rude and disrespectful. If you like supernatural, fantasy K-dramas this one is for you. The only thing I hold against it is that it has only 12 episodes, 12 minutes each.  Couldn't they make it a little bit longer? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ " You're my last kiss. If we kiss, we will forget our love together. " We settled this from previous articles, Bae In hyuk is one of my fave talented actors and they need to give him more dramas. I kept nagging until he finally got...

Rest in peace my MoonBin

 April, you broke my heart... I never thought I will come back to my blog after that long break to write about losing my Moon๐Ÿ’” I will miss you, my angel. You kept comforting us with your words, but I wish you listened to them, my baby idol, my heart. Forgive us ๐Ÿ˜ฅ we failed to protect you๐Ÿ’” Will K-pop stop being a happy place? Will K-pop keep breaking our hearts? All I think about now is how to help spread awareness since I am a writer and all I have is my words. K-pop industry, PLEASE PRIORITIZE OUR IDOLS MENTAL HEALTH. They are our safe haven, they save us and the guilt we are experiencing now is no joke! Because we can't protect our idols, and apparently our love for them is not enough, not that I am complaining, NO, but they need people close to them supporting them not making them feel as if they are machines for making money only, our idols are humans and deserve to be loved.  ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” We keep loving and supporting and protecting them as much as we can, words are powerful...

School Korean Drama

"School" (South Korean anthology) This anthology has 8 seasons. From 1999 to 2002 (4 seasons) then after 10 years they rebooted with a new season in 2012 then  3 other series came after. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š This anthology shed a light on serious problems that occur in schools, like corrupt education, teen suicide, physical, mental abuse as well as bullying.  It is unacceptable that even these days are still happening without finding any solution. Certain events that happened and caused traumas for kids, should have been avoided if the system was more careful, if had more humanity, and if they started looking at the kids as human beings not just robots at school to get good grades and only get evaluated by this. You will learn a thing or two from these K-dramas. They are tough and sometimes you'll feel how cruel the world has been for them at times, let alone feel related because we all had been through something similar in one way or another.  Even the bullies are like this for a reas...
