2. Kill Me Heal Me

Okay, so this drama aired like in the beginning of 2015 but I only started watching it this year. I've heard of this drama last year but wasn't so interested cause I didn't know who Ji Sung or Hwang Jung Eum was. 

It wasn't until I watched Ji Sung's latest drama - Entertainer, which then led me to Kill Me Heal Me. 

Ji Sung plays a chaebol who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and there's 6 personalities living in him of which every single one of them are darn cute!! He meets Hwang Jung Eum's character who would help him and his 6 personalities. LOL. 

Boy, why didn't I watched this drama earlier?! Like, everything about this drama is so darn funny, I don't normally like romantic comedies, but this one really top it!! 

It's actually difficult to infuse the idea of Dissociative Identity Disorder aka Multiple Personality Disorder, into a drama. But the writers manage to make it into a comedy as well so kudos to them!! 

Also, Ji Sung is a really really talented guy, playing 6 different personalities is not easy yet he managed to pull it off!! OMG. Plus, I love the chemistry between Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum, hope they would work together again! 

3. Doctors 

If you're someone looking for a cute romance drama, this is it. Starring Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won, this drama is about Park Shin Hye being a tough girl this time (Heirs was really bad) and known for starting fights when she was in high school. She then met her new high school teacher who cared for her and (surprisingly) fell in love with her. 

But they were unable to develop a r/s (student - teacher a bit weird ah) and so due to some circumstances, they did not meet until 13 years later where they are both doctors in the same hospital. That's when he began pursuing her. 

For those who are sick of seeing Shin Hye acting as a weak girl again, this is the drama where you have to watch!! Kudos to her character for not being a damsel in distress, in fact, she's the one giving kicks and punches this time. 

Though a lot of people isn't too fond of the idea of the big age gap between the two characters especially since they used to have a teacher-student r/s, but I don't mind at all. I mean they didn't form any r/s when she was in school then and the fact that he waited for her for 13 years just makes my heart flutter lol!! 

   

4. W - Two Worlds

Starring Lee Jong Suk (oppppaaaaa) and Han Hyo Joo, who makes her small screen comeback after her last tv drama - Dong Yi!! 

I anticipated this drama after watching the trailer even though I didn't know what was it about lol cause it has Lee Jong Suk (like uh oppa leh please!!) and Han Hyo Joo who is one of my favorite actress cause I really loved her performance in Dong Yi. 

So technically when I watched the first episode, I was confused. After googling this drama and reading comments on it I finally got the geez of what this drama is about. 

Han Hyo Joo's character, Oh Yeon Joo, is a resident at a hospital, her father is a well known webtoon artist who is famous for his work, W. Lee Jong Suk stars as Kang Chul who is the male lead in... W?! Yeon Joo soon realised that Kang Chul has been alive all along and that there is an alternate universe in the comics.. 

A bit confusing right? One thing for sure is that this plot is really interesting, can you imagine falling in love with a webtoon character who is alive? Oh boy..  

5. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

Ever since it was announced that there was going to be a remake of the very famous Chinese drama 步步惊心 starring Liu Shishi and Nicky Wu, I was like OOOHHH. 

When they announced the cast, I was like YASSSSSSSS. I mean Lee Jun Ki? King of historical dramas = MUST WATCH!!!!!! Plus along with a group of flower boys (yes I'm talking about Kang Haneul, Hong Jonghyun, Nam Joohyuk, Jisoo, Yoon Sun Woo and Baekhyun), HOW CAN DON'T WATCH?!?!! 

Thank God for ONE TV that I am able to catch it every monday and tuesday at 9pm. It telecasts alongside with Korea so I don't need to wait for the subs the next day online heh. 

I have never watched the chinese version, but I knew the story (from reading it online). In case yall don't know what is the story about, it's about a girl in the 21st century who time travelled back to the historical times where there are still Kings ruling the country. There she meets 7 princes of different personality and yup, you guessed it, she fell in love with one of them. (Or should I say.. 2?) 

Anyway, IU plays the female lead which I don't mind. So far, she's able to live up to her character so idk why there are people who's complaining about her. (Mainly k netz lmao) 

She had plenty of cute and sweet moments with Lee Jun Ki and Kang Haneul. Makes my heart flutter hehe!~ 

Oh, and the OST is great as well. My favorite so far is "Say Yes" by Punch and Loco. Oh and yes, there's a OST by EXO's main vocalists as well. 

If you are wondering what will the korean version of Scarlet Heart be like, go and watch it! You won't be disappointed! 

 6. Legend of the Blue Sea

So this drama has only recently started airing in December and I just had to add this onto my list of faves. When it was first released, I was not that interested in it cause I didn't know much about what the drama is gonna be like, plus I don't normally watch LMH's shows ever since BOF.

But then this drama had gotten so many good comments I'm like OKAY I SHALL TRY AND WATCH IT. 

AND OMG BOY AM I GLAD I STARTED TO WATCH IT cause after the first two eps, I was so hooked on it!! 

Like a love story between a mermaid and a human? It's something that the K drama industry has not try so I was like, okay let's see how this works! 

And can I say I really really love the interactions between (Queen) Jun Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho. Like, omg. Her character is so adorable and funny, every episode never fail to make me laugh.

LMH's character is a dork and so cute as well. This pairing is really not that bad. I like it. 

Anyway, the story of LOTBS is about JJH's character who's a mermaid falling in love with this magistrate in the Joseon Era (played by LMH), and then somehow the story transits into the future, and our dear mermaid who falls in love with the reincarnation of the magistrate, the modern version of LMH's character. 

It's currently still airing but this is definitely a drama I would recommend. 

7. Goblin

Okay, so here's another "fantasy" k drama! Goblin, starring Gong Yoo (Coffee Prince, Train to Busan) and Kim Go Eun (Cheese in a Trap), comes from the writer of DOTS. Can you now imagine how this drama is gonna be like? heh. 

Just like LOTBS, I was skeptical, basically meh, when this drama was released but then I'm like, since I have no k dramas to watch currently, let's just try Goblin. Plus, last time I watched Gong Yoo on the small screen was the drama "Big". 

Anyway, yep, exact reaction as LOTBS, THIS DRAMA GOT ME HOOKED. Not only for their amusing scenes but also the stills. Like, the cinematography IS AWESOME. 

Goblin is basically about a general (where Kings and Queens still reign but idk if it's Joseon Era) whom, after coming back from war was ordered to be killed by the King cause they claimed he had committed treason. After all his family members were killed (as ordered by the King), the general took his sword and asked his right hand man to plunge it into his body. 

And somehow, I don't know how, this general became immortal and thus, became the Goblin. Fast forward to the present time, the Goblin is on a mission to find the "Goblin's bride" whom has the ability to pull his sword out from his body so he can finally die. 

With that, he meets 19 year old student, Ji Eun Tak (KGE), a cheerful and optimistic girl who is always bullied by her aunt and two cousins. She lost her mom since young and has been living with them. However, she has a special ability where she could see ghosts. Apparently it's because she's the Goblin's bride. 

So yep, these two meet and then start falling in love! Wheep~

Anyway, I know some netizens (rolls eyes) are kinda freaked out by the big age gap between the two leads. LMAO. I mean, k netz are always displeased with something so tch. But to me, I think this drama is worth a shot. It's more like a love story between two soul mates whom have a connection with each other, so it does not seemed to weird for me even with the age gap. 

Fans of Gong Yoo, this is definitely a drama you should catch! Oh, not to mention with the addition of Lee Dong Wook who plays a super handsome and cut Grim Reaper! Yes, there are also bromance scenes between the Goblin and the grim reaper! Hint, they are super cute lmao. 

Oh and I think it would help you better if you google about the Korean folklore on Goblins, cause if not you wouldn't understand the drama heh. 

2016 has been a fulfilling year for me. God has really blessed me so much and I would like to give thanks to him for seeing me through another year. 

2017 will be the year where I will start internship and it's also the year where it'd be my last year in poly before I graduate in 2018. 

I think I have emphasised enough but I'm still gonna say this again.. WHY IS TIME FLYING BY SO FAST??? 

It's passing by at an unbelievable speed (cue Mr Unbelievable) sigh. 

Well I shall not leave any resolutions here because I don't always follow them anyway. 

My goal for 2017 is probably the same as every year: to continue a closer walk with God and to serve him using gifts that he has blessed me with.. and to work hard in my studies! 

Okay, I'll finished up here. 

God Bless <3
