Scarlet Heart Ryeo

SPOILER ALERT!!! 
The following post may include spoilers!!!

I heard of this drama being put together way back in the spring, and I have been eagerly anticipating it's release. I found out the this drama finally came out around a couple of days ago in which I have been binge-watching the series. I have reached the 7th episode so far, and I have to wait for the next episode to come out. TT.TT  Anyway, I'm totally hooked on the drama and I find it to be absolutely spectacular. I was super excited when I first heard of the drama, because of the list of actors that were to appear in the show. I was so excited to see IU, Jisoo, Nam Joo Hyuk, Lee Joongi, and Kang Haneul all working on a drama together. I was definitely not disappointed by this cast and I find myself enamored with the story line, characters, wardrobe, sets, and osts as well.

I'm so deep into the story line that it literally fills my head throughout the day. All the family drama and political disputes really is entertaining. When the drama portion gets a bit to hard for me to handle, they adding these really fun and heartwarming scenes. Baekhyun's character really adds to comic relief and his interactions with Jisoo and Haesoo (IU) are really funny. Him getting in a fight with Haesoo and then having a crush on her really makes me smile, and his little fights with Jisoo are really funny. The puppet scene with Haesoo is also quite cute, and so is their birthday scene. I love that scene in general, since the princes are soo cute. Jisoo's character is also really great to watch. He tends to be very funny and quite sweet, which I quite enjoy. Those two deem to be the comic relief duo, and they probably are my favorite characters. The scenes where all the brothers are together are also a few of my favorite scenes. They have such brotherly chemistry.

                                       I feel like the fourth prince during the ceremony 
                                       practice. You can't help but to smile at those idiots.

Joo Hyuk's character is also one that I like. He's apparently the "artistic" type, with the drawing and the gayageum playing. His unrequited love for Myung-Hee is sort of heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. The part where he and Haesoo are drinking together, really makes me like his character to a whole new level. The way that he is so devoted to Myung-Hee and how he so passionately disagrees with a social status system. he also seems willing to open up to the 4th prince which is really nice. the 4th prince really touches my heart too. He's been through so much crap , you can't help but to pity him a little, and just admire him for his ability to face adversity. i just want to give him a big hug, even though he can be a jerk. Myung-Hee was also such a nice girl. she cared for Haesoo as if she were her own daughter and loved the 8th prince unconditionally. She was just such a kind person, it's hard for a person not to like her. She also so selfless, and I was about to cry when she told the 8th prince to remarry because she knew he liked Haesoo. The characters are just so deep and beautiful, I can't help but to fall for them.

The sets and costumes for this show is amazing as well. I adore the Goryeo era and the way that this show presents it is stunning, The outfits that Haesoo wears up to the 7th episode are really nice. I particularly like the blue and yellow hanbok.


Plus the outfits that the princess wears. She always looks really pretty, even though her personality is horrible. The princes also dress really well and I enjoy seeing them throughout the drama. I find it interesting that even though they all wear hanboks, they all have their own individual style. The sets are also very convincing, and I find this to be true for all historical dramas. The amount of detail that the producers put into these shows blow me out of the water. The osts for this drama are also so great. The music in the opening sequence is EPIC and the rest of the music continues to be just as good. They all really set the mood for each scene and are really enjoyable. 

Basically I absolutely adore the series and I can't wait for the rest of the show to come out. The characters are so lovable and the story line so addictive, I seriously don't know what to do with my ife until the next episode comes out. 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...

Produce X 101- Position Evaluation

I love position evaluation. I think it gives the rappers a chance to really shine when they usually have to showcase singing or dancing. It also gives us epic performances such as Shape of You and "Michoji" from Season 2. Either way it allows people to really showcase their talents. The introduction of the X position definitely added interest. I think it is definitely very important for the trainees to be able to both sing and dance at the same time or rap and dance at the same time, since that is what they are going to be doing as an idol. Vocal Position Twit by Hwasa I love how this song was not like the typical ballad type songs to showcase their singing. Their harmonies were amazing and I loved it. Lee Hyeop did really well and I think it was great that he was finally able to showcase his singing ability. Jeonghwa also really stood out with his strong voice and cool stage presence. The performance overall was very captivating and I was really impressed and liked...

Produce X 101- First Elimination

Agh, elimination. Definitely my least favorite episodes, because it is so sad to see trainees go home. I do really enjoy the little events they have in between that lighten the mood of the episode a bit, but overall it's really hard to see some the trainees you really like go home. Entrances I love the entrances and how they consist of inside jokes between the contestants and are just the trainees having a fun time. My favorite entrance would be C9's where Lee Jae Bin and Keum Dong Hyun are pretending to play baseball. Other entrances that I enjoyed were Astory Entertainment's Jeon Hyun Woo and Heo Jin Ho, Plan A (or is it Plan M now, I am so confused) Entertainment's Choi Byung Chan and Han Seung Woo, Brand New Music's Kim Si Hun, Yoon Jeong Hwan, Lee Eun Sang, and Hong Seong Jun, and JH1's Jun Euhara. Body Camp This is one of my favorite sections that this show does. It's really lighthearted and fun. When it came to checking if the trainees have a...
