Major kilig with this Chinese Drama!

soompi.com

Want to take a break from korean dramas? Are you looking for a story that's not too heavy? Search no more because A Love So Beautiful (ALSB) is a chinese drama that will make you want to go back to high-school and fall inlove with your smartest, most good-looking classmate. LOL.

My colleague at work is hyping ALSB and she said that she ended up watching the whole series for 1 whole weekend. I got interested and tried watching one episode. At first, it has familiar vibes with It Started with a Kiss (Taiwanese) and Playful Kiss (Korean). I don't like these two dramas, hence, I have doubts with ALSB. I ended up not proceeding with episode 2.

But then again, the same colleague of mine is still hyping this c-drama. So I gave it another try. And viola! I ended up liking the series and finishing it for 2 weeks. One should have patience in order to appreciate the story. Chinese drama is known for their long series. I'm actually surprise that ALSB has just 23 episodes. I'm very used to c-dramas that has 30+ episodes like  Boss & Me and Far Away Love.

A Love So Beautiful is about a jolly girl named Chen Xioxie who has this biggest crush to her neighbor and classmate, Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen happened to be the number 1 in their class. On the other hand, Chen Xiaoxie is not the brightest in class and always ending up in trouble. That's where her friends enter the scene. Lin Jingxiao is Xiaoxie's bestfriend. Wu Bosong has one-sided love to Xiaoxie and Lu Yang is head-over-heels inlove with Jingxiao. These five people have chemistry and I could imagine that they're good friends in real life. Aside from that, individually, their stories are quite interesting.

Where to watch: Netflix


I, also, enjoy listening to A Love So Beautiful OST english cover of Ysabelle.



Have fun watching!

Your chingu,
Grace

    Thank you for recommending this drama. It has a light story that is so suited to end a day after hectic schedule at work. :) I liked the ending too with a different POV.

iKON is KILLING ME

Yes, you read it right. They're trying to kill me. I can't even think properly as I am trying to write this blog post. I really like korean music thanks to many years of watching korean dramas. At first, I'm just hooked with OSTs but then I discovered Bigbang early 2017. And it hit me. It hit me real hard. I can't believe I just missed all those years of not knowing that Bigbang exists. I spent months trying to catch up with 10+ yrs of their awesomeness. Just my luck, 4 out 5 members are serving in the army, hence, it will be awhile to release a new album. I enjoy listening to Bigbang, Blackpink and Dean. I am into hiphop, RNB, swagger-type of music. And I discovered iKON. I'm trying to add some new songs into my Spotify playlist. When I heard "Love Scenario", I thought it's cool. I like the flow of the song and the voices of the guys. So I decided to check out their other songs. Other than LS, the first few songs I repeatedly listened to were Beau

Something in the Rain is perfect for my ahjumma heart

hellokpop.com Something in the Rain (SITR) is quite something, I must say. Why? Because the female protagonist is older (way older) to the leading man. This korean drama is perfect to my inner tita.  I just finished A Love So beautiful when I started watching Something in the Rain. The contrast, right? So, let me introduce to you SITR. Yoon Jin-ah just broke up with her lawyer boyfriend. In parallel on what's happening to her love life, she's also struggling on her work. As for Seo Joon-hee, he is a character designer to a gaming company. He recently got back from U.S after working there for three years. He then showed some interest to Jin-ah, her older sister's bestfriend. I guarantee kilig moments especially at the start of Jin-ah and Joon-hee's relationship. I'm currently at Episode 5. I know, I know. I'm recommending something that I haven't finished watching. But so far, I'm enjoying the progression of the story. And this is the perfect dra
