DRAMA CLUB: Roommate, Episodes 1-5

Oh look who's back to writing non-fiction commentary again! ME. I've been asked once again to join a Drama Club for DramaFever about my new favorite Kvariety program Roommate along with Lore from Lore in Stone Cities (our first collaboration that I'm super excited about) and new friend Qisti from QT K-POP (another blog I seriously need to start exploring)!

• Check us out in this week's first intro recap to Episodes 1-5 and be on the lookout for a round-about discussion panel on DramaFever.

DRAMA CLUB: The Master's Sun, Episodes 9-17

The Master's Sun
주군의 태양
7/10 ♥

Well, well, well - so the Master's Sun is over, and you know what? The Hong Sisters didn't make me hate them this time around *coughsbigcoughs* So I give them a splendid round of applause.

I won't try to write a full review anytime, because looking at it on an episode per episode basis was already stretching the amount of analysis I wanted to put into it. Could a person find more detail in the drama to disect? Sure. And therefore it'll probably be done by many others around the blogosophere. Me, I enjoyed watching each week on a fluff-level basis, and between moving to a new home, being internet-less for over a week, and then having surgery and a slow-as-hell recovery, I'm still glad that I found the time fangirl a little with my two other Drama Club members Drama Debussie and Vivi and write a few episode reviews for DramaFever.

DRAMA CLUB: The Master's Sun, Episodes 3-8

I know, I know.. My recaps/reviews have been spotty for a few weeks. Blame traveling across the country, plus lack of stable internet for weeks, plus moving into a new house and the LOADS of work that involves. I need 10 more bookshelves, and an additional room for a library. Anyone want to donate to a poor, helpless used-to-be-reader? 

 But I've still managed to watch The Master's Sun, which is turning out to be more than I'd hoped for! *fingers crossed* 

And eyeballs opened! 

Check out my reviews for Episodes 3-4 and 7-8 on DramaFever.

DRAMA CLUB: The Master's Sun, Episodes 1-2

Well now, I come here to introduce you to my latest Drama Club project on DramaFever.  This time, it's Kdrama The Master's Sun with two new bloggers (at least to my Drama Club) Drama Debussie and Vivi from Kdrama Fighting!

Behold! A new drama club has arrived!!

Here's last week's first impressions of The Master's Sun: Episodes 1 & 2. 

PLUS! The three of us discuss our favorite/frightening ghosts!

P.S. I have a love/hate relationship with the Hong sisters' dramas.  Okay, actually it's a like/hate thing, and I've got my fingers crossed that this time around they do the justice to the whole premise, and not just get lazy... *ortotallyridiculouslyf'eduplikeBigifyouknowwhatImean* :) 

DRAMA CLUB: Mischievous Kiss, Episodes 15-16

One of my favorite shows of the year is over.. *sniffs*

But at least it gave me the best non-back hug hug ever seen in a drama. Ever.

Read here for reviews of Episode 15 and Episode 16 Part 1 and Part 2 on DramaFever.

DRAMA CLUB: Mischievous Kiss, Episodes 13-14

Two more roller-coaster episodes! How much longer will I be able to last?

Answer: Just two more episodes! Oh noes!

Read my double review of Episode 13 here and here, and Episode 14 on DramaFever.

DRAMA CLUB: Mischievous Kiss, Episode 12 + Furukawa Yuki's Q&A

Another episode, and boy was it a strange one. 

Not sure how I think, but at least we're thinking about life here... 

Read my review of Episode 12 on DramaFever. 

But wait! Guess who read my fan letter (drafted in the middle of the night with Cherry and Heisui) and answered the questions we helped to compile for DramaFever! 

It's Furukawa Yuki himself, answering In English!! Kyaaa! By the way, I can't help but relate this fan letter writing experience to Kotoko's carefully crafted love letter from episode 1 of Mischievous Kiss. She says she oh so carefully checked her spelling to make sure the letter was just perfect, while the 3 of us gals also went through multiple drafts and rewrites of our letter (to make sure it was just perfect!). No, he doesn't read our letter out loud but he says he got it, AND he addresses his thanks to "the drama club" [OMG that's me! asdfghjkl!!] Happy fangirl moment. It doesn't happen often. :) :)

DRAMA CLUB: Mischievous Kiss, Episodes 10-11

Two episodes of lovely. How will my heart survive this onslaught of feels?

Yet another mischievous kiss-su!

Read my double reviews of Episode 10 Part 1 and Part 2, followed up by Episode 11.

As an aside, I love how very different this type of blogging is for me. I don't recap dramas, because I'm not nearly that industrious, but I also have never really reviewed episodes one at a time as they air. Now, when I write overall reviews, I almost miss getting to pay attention to the fine little details every episode has to offer, but I'm so lazy that if I'm not personally motivated by deadlines, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep it up. Perhaps in the future I'll pick another drama to cover at least in short doses here on my blog. 

In the meantime, thank you DramaFever for giving this opportunity to spazz over and review weekly over Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo with 2 fellow bloggers, Cherry from Jdrama Reviews and Heisui from My Drama Tea.

DRAMA CLUB: Mischievous Kiss, Episodes 8-9

Love is full speed ahead, with some heavy congestion.

Alert! Love crisis detected!

DRAMA CLUB: Mischievous Kiss, Episode 7

So, who's excited about tomorrow's episode? 

 Kotoko must be excited! That's practically a date! Woot! 

But first, check out my episode 7 reviews here and here on DramaFever

DRAMA CLUB: Mischievous Kiss, Episodes 5-6

Walking... stalking... Score! 

Annyeong! Yes, I've been a little quiet of late. Busy life, being sick, having company, and most of my writing time devoted to what is gearing up to becoming [hopefully] one of my favorite dramas this year! Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo, or Mischievous Kiss as DramaFever is calling it. 

Here are a couple of my latest posts from the last few weeks. Btw, can I just say: Thank you, Japan for seriously testing my patience by making me wait TWO whole weeks between eps 5 and 6? If you wanted to kill me, it nearly worked. Yours Truly, Rosie.

• Playful Kiss vs. Mischievous Kiss (Only a slight comparison through ep 5)
