K-Drama Review! :: Heirs

Soooo, I’m not sure if this is the best drama for a first K-Drama review. O.o

I’ve seen a lot of negative and positive things about it. It’s really interesting what different people are thinking about it. And now I’m here to tell you my opinion. Yes, I’ve seen all available episodes (this means through episode 6). If anyone is wondering, I watch it on dramafever.

First off, I CANNOT stand the American actors in the first 3 episodes when it’s set in LA. Their acting is atrocious. Like, seriously, could they not find anyone better or did they just not care? Also, the horrendous stereotypes of Americans. Such a great way to offend foreign viewers and make them not want to watch your show…so great for international affairs. Not everyone in America drinks, does drugs, parties all the time, or only think about sex. It was really disgusting and I almost quit watching the show because of it. However, I didn’t…
Oh, and Lee Minho’s English could’ve been just a taaaad better.

If you get passed the whole crappy American stuff (which means starting with episode 4), it’s actually pretty good. I really am starting to like the story line and how everyone in the drama is somehow connected (most likely in multiple ways). It can be really intense. And at first, I was quit confused who was who and how they knew whoever. But it kind of all fell into place and now I think I got everything down. xD Not to mention, the Korean actors are awesome. I’ve seen a few of them in different dramas, so I’m already a fan. Total, I’d say that as long as they continue and don’t go back to the crappy American stuff, then they’re good and I’d call myself a fan of the show and try to forget the first three episodes.

And now to talk about how this drama is connected to K-Pop! My faaaaaaave part. 😀
First, Yoon Chan Young is played by Kang Min Hyuk from CNBLUE. Jo Myung Soo is played by Park Hyung Sik from ZE:A (who I recently got into and obsessively watched their TV show). And lastly, Lee Bo Na is played by Krystal Jung of f(x). Isn’t it amazing? I was thinking that these people looked soooo familiar.

Now, the one song of the drama is sung by Ken of VIXX! He’s one of my biases from the group. It’s almost a tie between him and Ravi. Anyways, it’s called In The Name of Love.

College

Let me tell you now, I had no idea I’d be almost constantly tired when I started college, considering I have classes only three days a week. But, Monday and Wednesdays I have two 3 hour classes and Thursdays I have a 4 hour class. I’ve had trouble paying attention so far (just completed my second week of college). It’s a lot different than high school, that’s for sure. And this is the reason why I haven’t been posting. I’ve either been at school or I’ve been doing homework or I’ve been sleeping.

It’s really shocking for me, but I’ve gone a couple days without starting up my laptop. THIS NEVER HAPPENS. So weird. But I’ve also been to the point where I’m tired but can’t sleep so I end up watching Netflix with my roommate. Aaaand, we’ve gotten into the Kdrama world. Like, seriously. First we started watching Flower Boy Ramen Shop (I think we’re on episode 12). -All I can say is Onion! Mr. Pillar! And Dog Chi Soo!- And when she was doing something, I started watching Boys Over Flowers (only on episode 8). -And it seriously took me forever to figure out that Jihoo is Hyun-Joong from SS501…- While I was watching that, she got caught up on it and now we’re both watching it. Kdramas, why did I put off watching you for so long?

But eventually, I get to the point where I need a break from subtitles, but then I have no idea what to watch because I was also watching anime (Black Butler)…and I’ve also started watching a K-pop documentary called I Am. I think I should try to finish or continue some of these this weekend!

Since I’m finally getting into a new schedule, I’ve come back to you, WordPress-blog-thingy. Oh how I’ve missed you! So, as soon as this post is published/finished being written, I’m going to update the current song page.

I also plan on getting caught up on the more recent eatyourkimchi videos. Which are already making me hungry, darn you fapfaps.

That’s another thing I have to get into, is a new eating schedule. School has really screwed me up. But, it’s something I need to put on my to-do list…along with setting some time aside for learning more Korean and stuff like that…on my free time.

I’ve also dyed my hair purple! It’s really exciting to me. It’s something I’ve always wanted…that I finally did. Well, my roommate did it for me but I bought the dye.I think it turned out awesome.
