Akala ko hindi ka na mag-comment dito. Hih...Yassss! Akala ko hindi ka na mag-comment dito. Hihihi. I totally agree on the last 2 paragraphs, and I think the drama conveyed those messages really well. Tama rin 'yung mga nabasa kong comments na maraming hindi makaka-appreciate sa character ni Kang Mi-Rae lalo kung hindi familiar sa webtoon version.jerellthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948393954900603311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027354841550639319.post-65298104825809276202019-08-19T02:53:45.675+08:002019-08-19T02:53:45.675+08:00Well well well, eto na ang mala-review ko na comme...Well well well, eto na ang mala-review ko na comment XD<br /><br />When I learned that it was based on a webtoon, I wonder how the plots would turn out in an hour for 16-episode format. Baka makukulangan ako sa story dahil on-going pa status neto which by the way, Season 2 just started. LOL!! I used to blabber a lot about this K-drama last year but never once watched a single episode! I took a considerable timeout to focus more on music and visual idols of K-pop, my good source of anti-stress. Just nowadays I have a free time to binge watch and thought of looking at the available titles on Netflix.<br /><br />Cha Eun Woo and Im Soo Hyang are my fellow Aries born. Wala. Feel ko lang to share that fact. Cha Eun Woo was universally known in K-pop as the "Face Genius" or a person na sobrang natural pogi talaga and a fully-trained idol. I think this kid can sold-out tickets to his own fan meeting because he can showcase all of his talents and that face is as good as an investment. Isa na siya sa mga visual idols ko panlaban sa stress hahaha. Im Soo Hyang was thought at first as a cold person but she likes how she could surprise the people around and to show the real her. She described that her personality is very close to Kang Mi-rae. Well I did my search and I was really surprised about her age. One would suspect that she went under a knife but I saw old pictures of her young self uploaded in the internet, the look is still like her between the old and now whether there were enhancements or not. I think she aged gracefully :D <br /><br />In that drama, there were familiar locations and it made me realized that I have walked by to those areas 2 years ago when I went to Seoul for personal vacation. I believe some parts of their shooting locations and scenes were taken from Konkuk University (I think homologous to Hankook University in the story). True enough, Konkuk University is close to Gangnam district which is only separated by Han River. Gangnam has its famous Cheongdam-dong area, nanjan ang mga high earners and also where to buy mga mamahalin stuffs.<br /><br />It is a popular belief that beautiful people gets good praise and often grants privilege. As seen in many K-idol groups where visuals as well as talents are keys to a successful career and increasing attention towards the group or to an individual. But sadly, beauty can be abused just like how it was subtly highlighted in episodes 5 to 6. It made an impact to me at some point but the heroes inside that scenes are the contemporary characters like Kwon Yoon-byul, Yoo Eun and Choi Jung-boon.<br /><br />For me, the issue underlies to social pressure about beauty standards. Well, I am not pointing against Cha Eun Woo and Im Soo Hyang but it is the society that thinks they are raising the bar for it. To an extent, some Koreans embraced plastic surgery as a long-term solution and they could have used Eun Woo or Soo Hyang as their preference. But as far as I have seen the last time I was in Seoul, we can still expect some Koreans with the likes of Chemistry students of Hankook University, a handful of beautiful, indecisive and brave individuals.<br />michiruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041823318880868723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027354841550639319.post-59335788461004885062019-08-07T09:03:27.168+08:002019-08-07T09:03:27.168+08:00Actually, nakita ko nga 'yung trailer sa ABS t...Actually, nakita ko nga 'yung trailer sa ABS tapos may konting kilig.

Hindi ko makuha masyado un twist ng story but medyo naging malinaw when I read your post. Parang may hawig un story line sa Birth of a Beauty, which I enjoyed. Yun lang parang medyo figurative ang effect ng ending nyan :) Diane Writeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953342733042235541noreply@blogger.com
