A Love So Beautiful 致我们单纯的小美好, To: Our Pure Little Beauty

     "A Love So Beautiful" is the latest series I've finished. It is a 24-episode Chinese Series that was aired last 2017. It starts off with high school classmates Chen Xiao Xi and Jiang Chen who are also neighbors. Xiao Xi, a cheerful girl who doesn't study much, is expressive about her admiration towards Jiang Chen, the popular guy known for his looks and high grades. Together with their fellow classmates the funny Lu Yang, athletic but loyal Jing Xiao, and cool swimming team member Wu Bo Song, they embark on high school life to university until their adult life (mydramalist.com).

    I started watching the series last August 28 and finished it by September 2, 2020. At first I am just watching it to relieve stress and not expecting to really enjoy the story and the screenplay itself. Aside from the fact that I like watching school set up with young characters, this series is really a feel-good series to watch to. No too much drama and everything seems to be realistic. I also like that the story continued after their high school life to their professional life.

Jiang Chen (Hu Yitian)

    Jiang Chen 将陈 is really a snob type of guy. Well, he is popular because he is handsome and smart. I admire his character and view in life. Respectful son and focused in his studies despite of getting a lot of attention from other girls. 

Chen Xiaoxi (Shen Yue)

    Chen Xiaoxi 陈小溪 is cute and happy-go-lucky type of girl. She may not be so good academically but she is quite talented art-wise. She is an epitome of "never give up". 

    Overall, I love the series. I love how it reminded me that all things has its time and season. There are things that will happen when the time is right. So hold on and work hard for what you want to achieve and get.. if it is meant to be yours, you will eventually have it.

Crash Landing On You

It was somewhere in February when I saw my sister watching the first episode of Crash Landing On You. Since she's not really fond of watching Korean Series, I asked her if the series is good and she said yes. Few days after that, she told me that she slept past 5 in the morning already because she was trying to finish the series. I also saw a lot of people posting in social media that this series is really good. Despite the good feedback, I refused to watch since I don't really feel like watching too serious series (well, I just thought that it is serious because of the military uniform), this is also the reason why I haven't watched Descendants of the Sun yet.

Come first week of March, I finally gave in and watched Crash Landing On You... and YES! It's really good. First episode alone will make you want to watch more. With its romantic-comedy story will surely hook you till the dawn.

Crash Landing On You is about a North Korean elite guy who is also part of the military named Ri Jeong-hyuk played by Hyun Bin and a successful businesswoman in South Korea named Yoon Se-ri played by Son Ye-jin. The story started when Yoon Se-ri was blown by a tornado while paragliding and accidentally crossed the border of North Korea and met Ri Jeong-hyuk who is the current captain of the outpost during that time.

There are a lot of fun characters in the story that will make you laugh. Love, faith and hope was also shown in the series. It is true indeed that love conquers all.

The show also made me realized how deadly the love for power is. On the other hand, if we love others aside from ourselves and do the right thing, the result is amazing. No border can block the power of true love. Oh well, all I can say is... go watch it now!


Finished Watching: March 10, 2020

Well-Intended Love (Season 1)

Just sitting on your couch? Thinking of what to do? Then this series might be for you. With its romantic lines and prince charming moves to die for, surely you will choose to stick around and watch as many episodes as you can.

Well-Intended Love is a Chinese tv series aired in 2019. The plot was about a young D-list actress names Xia Lin who was diagnosed with Leukaemia. In order to survive, she needs to have a bone marrow surgery of which the perfect match is from the young and handsome CEO, Ling Yizhou. So the two decided to get married to fulfill each other's needs, for Xia Lin to have the bone marrow and for Ling Yizhou to present someone to his grandmother as his wife. 

At first, it was quite a common story to have a contract marriage.. but I continued watching anyway because of Ling Yizhou who is Xu Kaicheng in real life. I fell in love with his hands (haha, forgive me.. it is so manly, I don't know.. I have a thing in guys hands). Aside from Ling Yizhou's hands, I also like the idea of a man protecting a woman of which is very common in any series (must in a real life too!). There are a lot of twists in the series too which will make you watch even more. 

Even though that this movie is not realistic at all, I believe that it  reminded me how important commitment is. Commitment in my marriage, commitment with my work, commitment with the people around me and commitment with what I like to do. 

While writing this, I found out that there is a Well-Intended Love Season 2 of which consists of 16 episodes and aired Feb 13, 2020 - Mar 12, 2020 in Sohu TV, sadly it is not yet in Netflix. 😭

Enjoy watching Well-Intended Love (Season 1) for now.

Watched from March 17-18, 2020.

Welcome to Waikiki

If you want something that will make you laugh and chill, this Korean television series is for you. Watching this series reminds me of  How I Met Your Mother and Friends, which both are my all time favourite tv series. With the cosy and cute set of the show, it will surely help you distress. 

So what's this Korean TV series all about? As seen in the photo above, the show is about a set of friends specifically the three men as shown in the photo. As they are trying to reach their goals to be a director, writer, and actor, they are also running a guesthouse which named was Waikiki Guesthouse. They are on the verged of bankruptcy and about to give up and close the guesthouse until a guest of them came and changed everything. 

Will we be able to relate to the characters? As for me, yes. Since every one of us must want to achieve something in life. Something that we really want to do. But let's admit that most of the time, it is hard to get those dreams of ours. Life gives us something that will spice up our road to our goal. Life lessons like forgiveness and perseverance will be seen in Waikiki. 

The show is really full of good scenes and jokes. It is a feel good tv series indeed.
