Summer Strike. K-drama Review, Episode 1

I've seen too many K-dramas in my life, but nothing was as relatable as Summer Strike which was adapted from a webtoon called "I don't want to do anything".

Lee Yeo Reum (Kim Seol Hyun) lost her mother in a horrible accident and left everything behind. A successful job and a relationship that ended right before her mom's accident.

She decided to move to a small seaside village and do nothing at all until she recharged and recovered mentally. It's there where she meet An Dea Beom (Yim Si Wan), a stuttering librarian with skeletons in his closet. He was a bright prodigy in Math years ago and circumstances forced him to leave a big city and his academic life. What will happen to two lost souls who cross paths?

Will escaping to this small village truly cure their illness?

You have no idea how long I waited for Si Wan to be in a new K-Drama after "Run on" and since they announced that "Summer Strike" will be released soon, I was over the moon.

Episode 1:

This is how Summer Strike episode one started, with Yeo Reum saying:

"I've been running towards a place for something. I'm running as fast as I can. But ironically, I don't know where I'm supposed to go."

And she was dreaming that a classroom door was closed and she was screaming but nobody was hearing her.

Aren't we all at some point in our lives felt this way?

The way she explained her journey until that day before she ran away to the village, was painful and she described every arrival as a door closed and she was waiting behind it.

💔💔💔

I wanted to slap her boyfriend and yell at him because he is so mean! She is the sweetest girl on earth.

I'm glad they broke up because he doesn't deserve her.

I hate her boss and how she was treated at work by her colleagues.
I just want this part of this Kdrama to be skipped until she goes to the village and meets An Dea Beom.

She is breaking my heart, I want to see her happy. Please...

Someone wrote my life story and turned it into a K-drama.

I have to admit it... this brought all the pain of losing my mother back, but it gave me comfort to know that I am not alone.

It was the most heartbreaking moment when she knew she saw her mom's dead body and she started remembering every moment they were together, especially when she told her that she will make lots of money and will take her to see the flowers and take her to the beach too. But she didn't get the chance to do that.

She told her that she will do everything for her and asked her not to age too quickly.

She didn't get the chance to do as she promised her mom, because her mother passed away before her daughter got the chance to fulfill her promises.

💔💔💔

You know that one moment that changes your whole life, and there is a turning point where you can't go back? 

And that's how she left everything behind and started over... And that takes a lot of courage! I am talking from a personal opinion, from someone who has started over three times already!


She's finally smiling :)

❤❤❤

The first episode was focused on Lee Yeo Reum. We barely saw a glimpse of An Dea Beom's life. For Si Wan lovers, you will see more of him starting the second episode.

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... 😂😆  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? 😭😭😭 " 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 Moon💔 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 😥 we failed to protect you💔 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.  💔💔💔 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. 📚📚📚 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...
