Yumi's Cells

I watched the first season of this drama a couple of months go and was absolutely obsessed. I was so hooked on the show. Every minute I was not binging it, I was thinking about it. It probably took me a little over a weekend to watch, because I am a college student and, sadly, the work never ends. Unfortunately, when looking up the actors for the show while watching, I was spoiled over the ending for the first season. I really felt like it detracted from my viewing experience, so a heads up, if you have not watched the first season of Yumi's Cells and do not want to be spoiled, do not read ahead.

As I said before, this show had such a chokehold over me. My every waking minute was spent thinking about this show. I had fallen head over heels for the male lead. I am not gonna lie, I am not big on gamer bros, but he was just so cute and clumsy on their first date that I couldn't help but to fall in love. The imagery of his brain fogging up, him saying incredibly stupid and corny jokes, knowing all the good places to eat, and just wanting to spend more time with her was so endearing. It also doesn't hurt that he is hot as hell and was able to pull off any outfit. Partly because of my obsession with the male lead, I was incredibly invested in the two leads' relationship. I loved that it started off with her not really being into him but after he does some nice things for her and she opens her heart to him, they start dating and we actually get to see their relationship develop, which is something I don't see often in kdramas. I feel like they always get together at the end, and we never get to see how they actually interact as romantic couple. So, being able to see their partnership grow with all of the heartwarming moments and fights was so beautiful and easily skyrocketed this to one of my favorite dramas of all time

The novel part about this story are the titular cells. We get to see how the two leads' sort of function through these adorable little cells. I feel like they bring a more entertaining and humorous way to visualize what someone is thinking and how they process information rather than something like a voiceover. It gave the main characters so much increased depth, since we are able to really see their perspective and how they think. We also got to see their growth as people through their relationship which I loved as well. For example, Woong learned that marriage might be something that he would want in the future and how to put others first. It was just so nice to see actual character development. 

That being said, there some aspects of one's personality that one cannot change, and unfortunately, that was what ended in their breakup. I was so gutted when I saw the spoilers for this. I know the manhwa came out forever ago, but I didn't know of its existence and was so bummed that Woong and Yumi were not going to stay together. Even though I knew this, I bawled when they broke up. I had become so attached to the two of them that I wanted so much for them to work it out. When they flipped those cards, my heart sank. I know Babi is the lead for season 2, but for the little bits that they showed of him, he's just not as endearing as Woong. Even though months have passed, I am still not over this. 

I saw that the second season has finally started airing and you bet your bottom dollar that I will be watching. every single episode. So far, 4 episodes have been released with only 2 episodes available for free on Viki. I am not quite sure how if they are going to leave those episodes behind a pay wall or not, but we will see as more episodes are released. I might talk about it as I watch every few episodes. I don't know, as always, it depends on how I feel. I just kind of wanted to remind myself, and possibly anyone reading, of some very general plot points and just how wonderful this show is. So...Um...Yeah...

Produce X 101- Final Ranking

So, I was actually able to watch the entire finale. I'm still going to hold off on writing anything about the actual show portion of this episode until english subtitles are released. That being said the group name is X1. It's sweet and simple and basically sums up the premise of this season. Now onto the rankings. My current top 11 are: 1. Cho Seung Youn 2. Lee Han Gyul 3. Han Seung Woo 4. Keum Dong Hyun 5. Hwang Yun Seong 6. Kim Yo Han 7. Song Yu Vin 8. Song Hyung Jun 9. Son Dong Pyo 10. Nam Do Hyun 11. Lee Jin Hyuk I know I already changed my list from literally yesterday. I honestly happy with whatever the final ranking is as long as Cho Seung Youn and Han Seung Woo get in. If Lee Han Gyul get in, that's an extra bonus. I truly wish that all of the guys could debut in X1, which obviously is not going to happen. Anyway, onto the official rankings. 1. Kim Yo Han When they told us 1st place was down to Kim Woo Seok or Kim Yo Han, I was not surprised. I th...

LOONA- Why Not?

 I know this came out like a week ago, so I am a little late on this. However, I have been listening to this song a lot and watching a lot of stages for it as well as the music video and every time I watch one I just have more opinions. I feel like when it comes to Loona, I spend so much time talking about line distribution. That's mainly because line distribution is shit and its basically Heejin and her back ups, which is just really distracting. I understand that Heejin is a talented performer, but so are the other girls, and they deserve some screentime and lines too. That being said, despite Heejin's overwhelming amount of lines, I declare Why Not? Vivi's era because I am so psyched that she actually got lines, screen time, and a center position. Bless the kpop gods because I've been waiting for Vivi to got some recognition. The music video itself I don't really have anything to talk about, besides appreciation for Hyunjin getting some extra screen time because ...

NCT Dream- Chewing Gum

Ok, so, another sub group of NCT, NCT Dream, came out Chewing Gum. This might be favorite single that NCT came out with. It's so bright, fun, and cute. Every time I see the video I break out into a smile. The story is pretty lighthearted, and it's very entertaining to watch. I absolutely love the bright colors that they use throughout the video. It really adds to the group's cute and bright theme. I found the video quite interesting to watch. They had a variety of different sets, including the ones made by the computer, and all of them were of bright colors. I also enjoyed the electronic made backgrounds for when the members had the closeups. Each person had a different animated background, so it was interesting to see what was behind them. I also kind of funny that they were using those hoverboard-thingies. (I have no idea what they're called, but I think it's a hoverboard?) The song is quite catchy, and I could probably listen to it over and over again for hou...
