K-dramas and c-novels

[maggie33]

After watching three Chinese dramas (Guardian, Memory Lost and SCI) I decided to branch out and watch a Korean drama. I chose Something in the Rain, because it’s on Netflix and because I remembered vaguely seeing a few positive opinions about it. I watched 2 episodes for now and I like it. I like it a lot. Two main characters Yoon Jin-ah and Seo Joon-hee are both wonderful and they make such an adorable couple. I like a few secondary characters, too and I would like to set a few on fire, mainly Jin-ah’s bosses and her ex-boyfriend – what a bunch of jerks. :)

As for c-novels - qikiqtarjuaq in this post recced I Ship My Adversary X Me. And yesterday I read all of the translated chapters, thanks to two hours delay on my train trip from Warsaw (we were stuck in the middle of nowhere between stations, because excavator fell over the tracks and we had to wait until it was removed). And it’s so great - cute and funny. I laughed out loud a few times. It cheered me up big time. I like the narrator’s voice and as far as I can tell (since I can’t read the original) the translation is very good. Thanks for the rec, qikiqtarjuaq. :)

After I finished I Ship My Adversary X Me, I read two chapters of SCI novel. And it is... not good. I don’t know if that’s the original or just the bad translation. I will read a few more chapters to see if improves later, but for now I’m not impressed.

I have SO MANY FEELS about Something in the Rain (mostly Jung Hae In, because alskdjf;lskdj f;skjdfa sk sfdafdasdkfjslkdfj), but I probably shouldn't spoil you, right?

Anyway, if you ever want to talk about it, LET ME KNOW! (Also, I made icons.)

No, don't spoil me. I usually don't mind spoilers, but I enjoy watching this show without knowing much about it. Jung Hae In is wonderful and adorable and I love him already - seriously, I smile every time he's on screen. :) And Son Ye-jin as Yoon Jin-ah is great, too. Her experiences and background are so different from mine and yet she's so relatable - mainly with the way she has to deal with problems at work.

Heh, I have many feelings too, already. I will post again when I watch more and I will want to talk about it.

As for icons - they're so pretty, Jung Hae In's smiling is just so....... ♥

I knoooow! I am so smitten, still! And yes, Jin-ah is great too. <3

(Jsyk, some of the Jung Hae In icons are from a different drama, While You Were Sleeping.)
