323. 100 Days My Prince 백일의 낭군님 (2018) Korean

Do Kyung Soo, Nam Ji Hyun, Kim Sun Ho, Cho Seong Ha, Jo Han Chul

Drama Rating: 8/10     Neck Score: A+

This one might have been the one I missed the most when DF suddenly disappeared from our lives. I was fully invested in these cuties and there were only like 4 or 6 episodes left (I watched them super far apart, I don't remember exactly). I had even been looking forward to the episodes, waiting for them to be posted, but they kept saying they had been delayed. This was the drama that I had been trying to watch when it all went down. But it was also the only drama that, as far as I know, still isn't on a legitimate site, sketchy! Like all the others, it suffered from the lack of momentum when I finally got back to watching it. I took too long to just break down and find a whatever site to watch it on, which is why I watched it in several different instances, taking forever. It was that part of the show when everything was going to get complicated too, so it was hard jumping right into the sad or lonely episodes. But, it was so worth it still. I can confidently give it the score I did, because it's super cute and fun. Great blend of the cute of a sageuk (historical) and the political drama that is every sageuk.

Korean Movie Night: Hyung, aka My Annoying Brother, 형 (2016) Korean

Jo Jung Suk, Do Kyung Soo, Park Shin Hye

Movie rating: 8/10     Neck score: A

Can I just say that the genres assigned to Korean movies are all lies?  They say it's a comedy, and then you're crying by the end.  Such liars!  Well, I guess that's why this one is labelled a comedy drama, which seems like a walking contradiction, but trust me, it does it and does it well.  The situation itself is both comedic and sad, as it is about a conman (Jo Jung Suk) who uses his younger brother's sudden blindness as an excuse to get out on parole.  To make matters worse, his younger brother (Do Kyung Soo) was a judo athlete training for the Olympics when the injury happened.  Talk about depressing right there, but then there is the conman comedic element that makes it also weirdly funny.  It's just a mix of lots of emotions.  Plus you have some of my favorite actors.  I have always had nothing but praise for both of these boys, and their brotherly chemistry is the best.  Bromance between real brothers is the best.  I love seeing families coming together.  I was super impressed with Kyung Soo's ability to act blind.  I believed it.  I also loved how they look enough alike to be half brothers.   They were just great.  Park Shin Hye was... okay.  Like usual.  I liked the pace of the story, as well as the comedy.  The timing was pretty great.  Then the emotions!  Wah!  So many emotions!  All the emotions in the world!  I think I might have felt them all!  Haha, maybe an exaggeration, but hey, I am obsessed with these boys.  Jo Jung Suk makes me feel things.  It was definitely a good one that I would recommend watching, especially if you happen to love these boys as much as I do.

107. It's Okay, That's Love 괜찮아, 사랑이야 (2014) Korean

Jo In Sung, Gong Hyo Jin, Sung Dong Il, Lee Kwang Soo, Do Kyung Soo (D.O)

Drama Rating: 8/10     Neck Score: A

The best part about the drama (besides Lee Kwang Soo) is that it is very different.  It's about a bunch of mature adults who all have issues, like everyone in the world.  Only most of their issues are psychological.  Literally.  Four roommates, half are psychologists, and all have problems, some worse than others.  There is also a healthy amount of mystery.  I did like how that developed slowly, so that we  weren't years ahead of the characters, but just a little bit, because we never knew the whole picture.  Maybe not the why when we knew the what and so on.  The main girl was kind of a selfish bitca, but not in like a hateful way, just sometimes I would get frustrated with her because of her selfishness, and meanness, but I actually liked that she was like that.  Because sometimes I really hate how perfect or annoyingly good the female leads can be sometimes.  They are so annoying.  She was annoying too, but in a different and kind of more relatable way.  Sometimes she did need a slap though... Loved the OST too.  This song, I am obsessed with.  I liked the flow of the narrative.  I was a little worried in the last episode that it was going to be draggy, but it wasn't that bad.  It kept things fun at least.  Also, bromance.  Nuff said.
