Gushing About: Was It Love?

This drama has gotten so much better. During the first few episodes, I was a little iffy whether I'd love love love it or drop it midway into the drama (like Oh My Baby). image source

Well I got into this drama because, um, FOUR HOT BOYS MEN AFTER OUR FEMALE LEAD and who's not a sucker for that?!? 

Anyway, so midway into the drama more or less we already have a clue who's Ha-nee's real father is. I am 99.9% sure as to who he is, but I can be wrong and that's why I'm looking forward to episode 11 so I can confirm my haka-haka. 

In episode 10, we sort of found out why they broke up Ae-jung left Dae-oh, but if that's the only reason why then I feel that it was unfair to Dae-oh because he wasn't given the chance to explain his side. And if he is Ha-nee's real father, it's more unfair that he was robbed of the opportunity to be a father to her. Although some might say that he might have not been a good father, but at least he should've been informed that he has a child, bahala na siya kung ano ang gagawin niya sa impormasyon na 'yun. It is also unfair to him that this child has been hating and blaming him for abandoning her and her mother when in fact, he doesn't even know that she exists. Ayun lang. Feeling ko lang unfair kay Dae-oh. Kung siya nga ang tatay. 

At first, I was rooting for the younger guy, Yeon-woo, because I've always liked gravitated towards the younger guys (ajumma, FTW!). As the drama progresses, I've slowly shifted my allegiance towards Dae-oh. Yeah, he was angry at first because he didn't get the closure he needed (and wanted) when Ae-jung just upped and left; however, I understand where this anger is coming from. At hindi pa siya nakakamove on. Obviously, Ae-jung still has feelings for him but she's guarded herself from giving in for fear of getting hurt again. 

For Ryu-jin, Ae-jung was his TOTGA (ang baho talaga haha) and what's difficult for him is Dae-oh is also his close friend. I've never rooted for him. Mabagal kasi siya. Ganyan 'pag mabagal, naiiwan sa kangkungan. I don't like him for Ae-jung but I still want him to be happy with someone else, someone like Ah-rin. 

Ayan hanggang jan muna. I'm not sure if I would be able to post another entry about Was It Love? when it's already done. I'm so excited for the last six episodes!! Three more weeks!? Gaaah! 

P.S. It's almost my birthday! Yay ☺☺ Counted ba this year?

Anong Petsa Na? Quarantine Edition

So... anong petsa na? OMG I can't frakkin' bilibit- it's already the first day of the 8th month and we're still inside our houses. Still, I am grateful that I have a house where I can stay safely cooped in and I don't have to go to an office (being a home-based business). But my sister still has to go to work once a week and there's still that risk. I just distract my self with stuff... tutal jan ako magaling.

What have I been distracting myself with? 

KDRAMAS PA RIN 


Last time I blogged I was watching the ff- My Holo Love, Meow the Secret Boy, Oh My Baby and Dr. Romantic 1. I'm done with Dr. Romantic, struggling with Oh My Baby and dropped Holo and Meow. Here's my accomplishment report (Ha!):

Dr. Romantic 1


Teacher Kim reminded me of Dr. House. Okay lang din naman yung love angle which is the main reason why I watch these dramas- to experience kilig vicarously. Lelz. If there was no second season with Lee Sung-kyung as the female lead (FL), I wouldn't have finished this series. 


100 Days My Prince

My first saguek drama, I think. I did attempt to watch a few saguek dramas before but I got easily bored so I therefore concluded that sageuks are boring. 100 Days My Prince started out boring but thanks to the leads' impeccable chemistry. 

I'm not sure if this was a romcom cos although there were scenes that were like that, the main feel of the drama was sad. I guess most sageuk dramas are tragic since these royalties live in fear of losing their seat, their power, their wealth at kung ano pa man yang puede mawala sa kanila. And almost always, they can't be with that someone they truly love. Medyo alam ko na kung bakit may kabit, haha! 

I enjoyed this drama. Although the main feel was sad, it ended on a happy note ☺ And oh em gee, that scene where Won Deuk lay on Hong-shim's lap >>squeeeee<<


Hwarang


Main reason why I watched- V. Because my bebe boy is there, that's it. It was 20 episodes long which was torture for my ADHD brain. Not naman torture because the drama was exciting naman, although I feel they could have done this with fewer episodes. Ang daming flashbacks. 

What a turn of events... but that's what I love about Seon-u, he didn't take advantage of the situation and he didn't let those people take advantage of him as well. At si Ate Girl A-ro kung bahagyang kinulang sa baba, eh yun naman ang ihinaba ng hair niya! That scene when the King would told her he'd willingly give up the throne if ever she chooses him over the other guy? MY GULAY. 

And oh, I cried > S P O I L E R A L E R T < when Han sung died. 


Sweet Revenge

Just watched this after AC recommended it. Light lang and funny and every episode is only around 30 minutes long. Female lead is the same as in A Moment in Eighteen- though I don't find her pretty, I like her. I still don't get how she brings all the cute boys in the yard though. Lelz. This series is definitely my cup of tea- kilig kilig high school keme lang.

Another reason why I like this drama- Cha Eun woo. CHA EUN WOO ♥ Ang guapo nung bata! Haha #ahjummamode Maybe I'll give My ID is Gangnam Beauty another try (because, Cha Eun-woo). 

Other Kdramas I'm currently watching are Was It Love? and It's Okay Not to be Okay. Eye candies galore and eye candies around my age ;) ;) 

WEBTOONS


I got into webtoons when a highschool batchmate of mine posted something about a webtoon she follows. I have never been into animes, mangas, manhwas or anything like it (only Archie, Snoopy an Garfield comics), but True Beauty opened the gates for me. After I have devoured all the available chapters, I started scouring the worldwide web for other titles. Entonces, I am currently reading the following: One of a Kind Romance, Age Matters, Cheese in the Trap and Odd Girl Out. 


screenshots of some of the webtoons I read

The con about webtoons is you get updates once a week (or every four days, if you're lucky) and the suspense is killing me. You really need to follow a few titles to get your mind off the other ones you're waiting for new chapters for. And now that we're in quarantine and don't have much to do, it's easy to obsess over these stuff because I have all the time in the world!

BTS


Still, my biggest distraction during these trying times- my boys ♥ Gaaahd, I'm always on YouTube bingeing on their music videos, fan-made videos and listening to their covers. I'm on weverse waiting for their updates. Ang lala! 

And oh, my baby boy Jungkook just released a cover of the Bieb's 10000 Hours- 



I'm one proud momma! I didn't even recognize it was him cos his English has improved tremendously. More practice pa sa dreaming, 'nak. Haha. Malala na 'to. Ganito yun kasi, 'pag nagka-anak ako gusto ko parang si Jungkook at dahil mukhang ang probability nun ay near to zilch, siya na lang anak ko HAHAHA. 

And to document my first ever BTS/BT21 merch, here's a photo

I really wanted a pair of Chimmy slippers but only Cooky and Tata were available. Eh kay AC na si Tata (dahil siya naman ang original V fan and dahil siya rin ang nagbayad), Cooky's mine. I didn't want these Cooky slippers cos my feet are fangit LOL :P Lalo tuloy siyang umitim kasi fenk ang color. Anyway... they're so cute, no? 

Watching a BTS live concert is definitely in my bucket list so I need to take extra precaution para hindi ako mashotayva ng corona.  

Gotta go, sago. I have a scheduled video call chikahan with my peeps in a bit ;)
