Answer Me 1997

Hey Everyone!

I finally finished another drama (probably the last for this year), it was called Answer Me 1997. It was a cute drama following the lives of 6 youths. The drama started with the present day reunion between the 6 friends. Each episode showed memories of the past, starting from their high school days in 1997. The main character was Sung Shi Won. SW was a major fan-girl for the popular band H.O.T. (in particular Tony). She had a best friend named Yoon Yoon Jae. The two knew each other since they were babies, but YJ started to fall for SW when they first started high school. SW was more naive when it came to her feelings, so she was always oblivious to his feelings. The two had 4 other friends, Mo Yoo Jung, Kang Joon Hee, Bang Sung Jae, and Do Hak Chan. The 6 were inseparable during their high school years. However, once they entered college, they all separated because they all went their own ways. The majority of the drama revolved around SW and YJ, and the development of their relationship (from being childhood friends, to possibly lovers). I actually really liked this drama because it showed the present and continued to show the past. It definitely left me hanging each time because though you would think the ending was predictable, there were times when I thought there my be a twist to the plot. I definitely give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because it had all the elements that I look for in a drama. It kept me wanting to watch it till the end, and it had a great amount of comedy along with romance. It definitely fulfilled my drama watching experience. I would recommend this drama to anyone. It has been a while since I really liked a drama this much. Let me know what you all thought! That's it for now.

Innocent Man

Hey Everyone!

It has been a while! In fact, I have watched a few dramas in the past few months, but I just did not get a chance to post the summaries due to exams and what not. I am finally home for a... *drum roll please*... MONTH! I just finished Innocent Man yesterday. I had been waiting to watch this drama for a while because Song Joong Ki was in it (sooo cute!). The drama was mainly about Kang Ma Ru, a sweet guy with simple needs. He had great prospects to become a doctor, and even had a woman that he loved with all his heart (Han Jae Hee). However, all of that changed in an instant, when JH suddenly called MR because she killed a man! MR, being the hero that he is, went to save his damsel in distress by taking the blame for the murder. Due to that incident, he not only lost his chance at becoming a doctor, but also lost his woman to a chaebol. MR was ready to move on after finding out about JH's new husband and child, but she managed to continue to cause him grief. After several other instances, MR decided to get revenge on JH. His main target was JH's current step-daughter, Seo Eun Gi. EG was a serious girl, with only one goal; to take over her father's company. However, she somehow fell in love with MR. Eventually, EG gave up everything for MR, yet MR was still in love with JH at that time. The night that EG's father died, EG broke up with MR after finding out his real intentions towards her and had a car accident that involved MR. When she came to, she had lost all of her past memories, and could only remember MR. At that point, MR took it on himself to take care of her, and help her regain her rights to her deceased father's company. During the process, MR fell in love with EG, but EG had forgotten all about MR's original reason for approaching her. After many instances, EG regained all of her memories and left MR. The rest of the drama involved MR trying to help EG and take down JH at the same time. It was a very intense drama (more of a melodrama), but it was definitely interesting. I would give this drama at 4.5 out of 5 stars because it was different than the usual dramas I have seen lately. I really liked it. Let me know what your thoughts were. That's it for now.
