Nam Joo Hyuk Is Starting To Have Feelings For Kim Tae Ri In Twenty-Five, Twenty-One Episode 4


As the story progresses with Baek Yi Jin (Nam Joo Hyuk) struggling yet adjusting to his new lifestyle, it's actually becoming evident how he's being dependent on Na Hee Do (Kim Tae Ri) with regards to being his anchor. To be honest, if I were to compare it with reality, it's really good to have that someone you can open up fully about your problems without any inhibitions. I actually have an experience of being so closed off with my struggles and feelings that it's eating me wholly and it's something that's not really good for my mental health. So when that someone came to my life and served as my anchor, someone that has no malice nor judgment, someone that's actually genuine to help me with my life, it felt like my life struggles lightened up. And it felt like I really have that someone that will stay by my side through it all for the rest of my life. That is why I really am grateful and also trying my best to return the favor, not because he asked for it but because I want to make him feel the way he makes me feel when he's helping me out. Uhhh.. nope we're not lovers or anything... we're just really true friends that care for each other. That's the difference between me and Baek Yi Jin.

WJSN's Bona Is Kim Tae Ri's Internet Buddy In Twenty-Five, Twenty-One Episode 3

This episode 3 of Twenty-Five, Twenty-One really tugged my heartstrings. So many scenes really hit close to home. 

First, the part where Na Hee Do (Kim Tae Ri) goes all out and dangerously for Baek Yi Jin (Nam Joo Hyuk) to meet his father. I get it that she made a wrong assumption about the old man looking for Yi Jin and regretted it. But the fact that she did that only because she wanted to protect him and corrected her wrong doings later just proved how much she treasures him and her promise to be happy together. Yi Jin also feels the same way about her, it's evident to how he treats her too.  Although the last part where he failed to comfort Hee Do, he just did that because she knew how pure-hearted Hee Do is that she wouldn't say anything wrong to anyone in her right mind so he just couldn't obliged to her request to say. He just knew that she was in an emotional state that even though they're important to each other, he wouldn't pamper her nor lie to her just so she could comfort her hurt feelings. However, I wouldn't lie that I got really hurt at that part for Hee Do. There really are times when we need to feel that there is someone by our side during the hard times and despite Yi Jin failing to do so.... there is Hee Do's 'internet friend' to comfort her.

Kim Tae Ri Cheers Up Nam Joo Hyuk After Witnessing Him At His Lowest Point In Twenty-Five, Twenty-One Episode 2

Somehow this drama gives off a vibe just like Police University wherein the female lead is the one comforting/supporting the male lead and then later on their relationship would evolve in which the female lead would also start relying on the male lead after he regains some confidence and strength. Then this give and take relationship would then bloom into a couple relationship with them relying on each other. Hmmm... I could already sense it, yep yep.. but who knows what might happen along the way, I'm still here for surprises. Police University is all about realizing and achieving one's dreams too which is why I find the two male lead characters from Police University and Twenty-Five, Twenty-One similar on that matter, they just differ in their life circumstances or situation.

Nam Joo Hyuk Encourages Kim Tae Ri To Continue Protecting Her Dreams In Twenty Five, Twenty One Episode 1


It's been a while since I've hooked myself to some Korean drama series since Jirisan so I'm glad to tell everyone that I finally found a new interesting one again to watch and react to every week, it's none other than Twenty-Five Twenty-One starring Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim Tae Ri.

I watched first the pilot episode before reading the synopsis of the drama from asianwiki, so unconsciously wanting the story to incline more to two friends finding each other in the midst of their own difficulties and thrive rather than them developing romantic feelings as the story develops. I think it's rare to see such story but I guess people aren't attracted to such dramas if it won't involve romance between the leads and writers, production in totality, wouldn't want their work to flop at all. But wouldn't it be fulfilling to create such without making their viewers bored, by using their creativity efficiently to add to their project.

Up until now that the free concert is finished, I still cannot move on from the fact that Wendy slayed everybody on this concert. Seriously, this girl is just so super talented she deserves all the attention that she's having now. I mean, lately, she's given with so much exposure on singing which we all know SM had not done for so many years since her debut, which is why the amount of her exposure lately makes each of it so precious and impactful.

WENDY Impresses With Her Smooth Vocals In Her New Song Release Called 'AIRPORT GOODBYES' (In Collaboration with The Black Skirts)

It's been a while since I wrote something about Wendy and I think it's about time that I return to talk something about her. It feels really empty not talking about her, I mean, she's so good at what she's doing. Being a DJ, actress and most of all as a singer. Wendyluv's singer, my singer. Oh gosh, I love her. 

So just yesterday, around 6pm KST, the collaboration song of Wendy and The Black Skirts got out! As usual I am so thrilled and excited whenever there's something new from Wendy so when I finally listened to it, I'm totally mesmerized by it. Gosh, is there anyone as good as her? She can do any genre, and have you ever heard her previous release with Son Tae Jin called 'Be Deep'? She can do anything, like... anything! It's proven that she can do also musicals, 'coz she's born to be a PRINCESS! Yay! Haha...

Ju Ji Hoon Discovers The Scary Truth Behind The Death Of Hikers In Jirisan Episide 3

Daaaaaang!!! I guess with this episode, 1 mystery has been solved. The reason behind the killings happening inside Jiri mountain were all because of a serial killer as per analysis of Hyun Jo and not something supernatural. It's true, that the scariest beings are not those we cannot see but those we can see, and in this case, it's humankind. 

We got to know Hyun Jo's past as a soldier too and the time when he started seeing the killings happening inside the mountain. Hmm... perhaps it's because he disturbed the stack of stones while he was approaching his co-soldier Kim in danger at that time? Maybe the mountain started communicating with him since then, to discover and stop the killings. Hmmm... the mountain wanted to protect its people too. Ain't that fascinating?

Ju Ji Hoon Is The One Giving Jun Ji Hyun Signals In Jirisan Episode 2

Waaait! What the hell is happening? I really thought that the suspicious person that's loitering around Jirisan is a mountain spirit, but I guess it's not the case? Who was that at the end? At first, I'm guessing it's the chief. The face of the suspicious person was shown but I couldn't really tell if it's him or not. He became suspicious to me because of the yellow ribbons with blood on it discovered by Seo Yi Gang. Hmmm... But... when I examined the face at the end once again, I think it's Hyun Jo. His body is constrained in the hospital due to coma, but his spirit is wandering around? And the reason why Yi Gang asked Lee Da Won (Go Min Si) to point the traditional marker to Haedong Ranger Station is because she has a hunch that the one giving her signals was Hyun Jo? Come to think of it, Hyun Jo and Yi Gang shared the secret about this traditional marker, and Yi Gang also knew about Hyun Jo's special ability to find someone that's missing. Perhaps Yi Gang considered Hyun Jo to be the on that's giving her signals through the traditional marker. That makes more sense, right? Hmmm...

Jun Ji Hyun Is Passionate To Find Out The Mystery Behind Mount Jiri In Jirisan Episode 1


Jirisan starring Jun Ji Hyun and Ju Ji Hoon started airing last night, October 23. It's not just an ordinary drama that we're watching, it has a different kind of flavor that evaded the mainstream romcom nor historical romance genres that most of the on-going dramas today are centered about. Jirisan is special because aside it bringing in action, mystey and suspense, it's also tvN's 15th year anniversary project which only explains why they allotted a big budget of 32 billion won or 27.4 million dollars for it. It exceeds Vincenzo's budget of 20 billion won or 18 million dollars. And if it has a budget then it means good production, cinematography, videography, star studded cast and so on and so forth. After watching just only the first episode of it, all the good things that I've mentioned became really evident in this drama and I think this is officially the newest craze that I'll be looking forward and react to every week. Yassss!

Police University Ends With B1A4's Jin Young Pursuing His Dream And Back To Krystal's Side

So many episodes have passed already recently and I haven't made a single review yet. And now since it's the ending week, I'm finally giving it some time to react 'coz there won't be anymore next time. Huhu. Of course I've watched every single episodes that came out from the previous weeks, there were a lot of thoughts over it as they dive in and focus more in solving the main problem of the story which is finding the real culprit behind the illegal gambling site. There were lots of people involved, I think most of the professors were mentioned, if not accused, by Dong Man (Cha Tae Hyun). I'll be lying if I say that I wasn't carried away in accusing these professors along with the lead actors, professor Kwon, Go, Jin Woo, Hee Soo, Tae Woong, and now Sang Hak. And what do we know? It all really comes down to the head professor which is the oldie Sang Hak. I honestly had the idea already ever since he's always acting all too nice. In the end, he's acting out this character 'nice guy' to compensate his 'wrong' principle in helping out/backing up the police in an illegal way. He, and everybody knows, that he's wrong. There were so many people/police that got involved, ruined their careers, and worst, died in that span of Hang Sak running the illegal gambling site. Clearly, he's not helping the police force but actually destroying it. Also, he's funding the hospital bills of his son with it so it's evident how he's only acting out of selfishness. Sigh.
