Beetle Kdramas

  As a fan of Naruto, I have always seen the new series of his son, Boruto, as merely a publicity stunt to benefit from the success of the main show. Why should I start a new series for a manga that was completed successfully with no loose ends? As an avid fan, I rejected the idea based on how long it took to end Naruto as well. I started watching Naruto in elementary school, and it ended after I finished college. As an adult, I don't have the time or the energy for a long journey like this one again, right? Well, apparently, I do!! Recently, I binge-watched half the show, and surprisingly, I don't hate it. Why did I give Boruto a chance? 1. Nostalgia The main reason I started Boruto was because I missed Naruto. I missed having an anime with many ninja characters fighting for a noble cause. I missed the banter between the main characters and the development of a show without boundaries or laws. I also missed all the main characters like Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Shikamaru, and ev...

  S anji, the Straw Hats cook, is a guy who can kickass anytime but still gets kicked in the nuts whenever he faces a woman. For years, Sanji has been a controversial character that many people have either really loved or hated. His comments and behaviours have angered a lot of women who see him as a pervert who doesn’t respect women enough. His chivalry was also attacked when it interfered with his duty of protecting a crew member in Enies Lobby. Still, after Cake Island, the reasons behind his actions have become obvious to most viewers. Here are the top 5 reasons Sanji would rather die than hurt a woman. His Mother’s Sacrifice Vinsmoke Sora sacrificed herself to steal Sanji from his fate as a war machine. She drank toxins to ensure the modifications that Judge tried to apply to all her sons were not successful. Although we learn that as a child, Sanji was never fully aware of her sacrifice, his mother was the first kind figure in his life and the one woman he respected the most....

This is my own preference, so feel free to fight with me in the comments section below! 😏 1. Kim Seon Ho  Ok, so what is your definition of handsomeness? I don't like the macho type of guys; they look kinda, cold and unapproachable. Don't get me wrong! They are good to watch from afar, and they are cool in fights and so on, but still, I would rather have someone who would make me laugh. Kim seon ho has just that charm for me! His character in the currently airing drama " Hometown Cha Cha Cha" is funny, laughable, and very approachable, and I love his acting style. It is like he turns into the character. I sometimes even forget he is the same character I see in 2 days 1 night! The goofy, fun guy who doesn't care that much about his face on 2day1night can't really be the same handsome guy in Start-up, can he? Anyway, he is no.1 on my list, and I don't care if you think otherwise!!! 2. Lee Je Hoon  Honestly, when I first watched Je Hoon, he didn't strike...

This is a different article from what I used to write. There is no research needed this time because this is all about what I learned throughout the past 10 years watching Kdramas.  If you are an avid fan of Kdrama like me, you probably noticed these patterns in Kdrama. 1. The White Truck of Doom  When someone dies in an accident in Kdrama, it is amazing how one truck seems to be the cause all the time. Whether the driver was drunk, it was a planned accident, or simply an unfortunate incident, this truck is just a truck of Doom. It is the source of many memes online to the point that it is starting to affect the seriousness of accident scenes for me. 😸 2. She Tripped So We Hugged and Kissed Romcoms have these patterns that you can't miss, including back hugs, love triangles, handsome childhood sweetheart comeback, etc. The one pattern you know will happen at the start of a relationship is the trip and hug scenario. She tripped, so to prevent her from falling, we hugged! Or he...

 Probably the fastest binge ever in my own history of binge-watching. Move To Heaven is a short 10 episode drama produced by Netflix, especially for Kdrama lovers. It explores life and death through the story of the workers at Move To Heaven trauma cleaning agency. From Lee Je Hoon to the newly discovered Tang Joon-Sang, the cast for this drama is more than top-notch.  Trauma Cleaning  Ever heard of trauma cleaning? Personally, I have never heard nor even thought about them. It is weird, they say, "away from the eyes, away from the mind." It is totally true in this case. I have even written about unconventional careers before for a job; surprisingly, this job was not even mentioned anywhere. It is like the whole industry of crime scene cleaning is not exactly recognized by people. After reading a few articles about a trauma cleaner's job, it is a job that requires handling chemical materials that remove the worst type of contamination you can think of. Certainly, a j...

If you follow me on Twitter, you would know that Vincenzo is one of the few dramas I followed weekly till its final episode recently. I was very happy and satisfied with how things were developing in this drama - until a certain point, that is!!! Why I loved Vincenzo! Vincenzo is a story about a consigliere who leaves Italy after the head of the family dies and goes to Korea to start a war again evil 😅. While I am not familiar with how well the drama showcases the mafia, it is a fact that Song Joong Ki put a lot of effort in this role. According to reviews, his Italian is very good, and he definitely tried to mimic Italian body language even if he was not always successful.  Vincenzo starts as a well-balanced show with quirky characters and fun interactions between Vincenzo and the tenants of Guemga Plaza, and serious altercations between Vincenzo and Ok Taecyeon - Aka. Evil Guy - Aka. Jang Junu.  The main genre of the show is dark comedy; however, it definitely didn't set t...

I seriously need to write a list of unpopular Kdramas for 2020. I keep discovering new gems that I should have watched last year.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation This is a 12-episode short series starring Cha Tae Hyun and Lee Sun Bin as the main characters alongside multiple first-rate supporting actors. I especially loved Jung Sang-hoon in here. I always saw him in comedic roles and he was fun to watch but I wanted to see him in a serious role once.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation Review Team Bulldog is a mystery drama with quirky characters, fun investigations, disgusting murderers, and interesting reporters. You get the whole package in just 12 episodes in this drama. A group of misfits try to solve mysteries that the police themselves cannot solve. With one member a real detective, they are not a totally illegitimate group; therefore, they have access to crime scenes and police resources when needed. The group itself includes a former forensic pathologist, a...
