Buzzer Beat

Currently: Unfinished Drama - Episode 7

 

I am currently watching eps 1-6 of Buzzer Beat and I know this show has a manga to it as well as many other Jdramas but since I have not read the manga or have any idea of what the plot or story is originally supposed to be like I will have to judge this based on no knowledge of a past creation. Overall  while I watched this drama on eps 1-3 I thought this drama could be really good and has a lot of potential to be very addicting but if there is anything that made this drama a little disappointing (judging in my personal taste for dramas) it's that I absolutely hate when the female character starts liking the main character not long after getting to know him. These are the cliche parts I usually hate in dramas because I dread and I mean I DREAD seeing the female character crying and being sad for many episodes until she get's the guy she wants. I'm hoping as the show goes on the put in more fun scenes like the beach scenes those are the little things that give this show a more addicting feeling.

 I'm afraid it's already leading towards what I honestly don't like about a lot of dramas and what I mean it's the female character crying feeling sorry for herself because she loves someone. Here she tries to kiss him while I'm still confused about how she started liking him it didn't go as smoothly to have this character like him in a snap of fingers. She says she can't control her feelings and that they crossed the line; I'm afraid so, but it's her who has crossed it not necessarily him.

                           

 She was already thinking around episode 3 if she liked him or not knowing he had someone in his life. When she heard him crying on the phone on episode 5 she ran all the way to him which I honestly didn't ever get the vibe she liked him enough to go all night long to see why he was crying. The reason he was crying was due to this:

She cheated on him.

Right now, I am hoping that Riko does not spend an episode or two feeling sorry for herself. I am also thinking she could act better. She isn't a bad actress but she doesn't come off as an important character to me; how do I explain, she needs more personality.

Meteor Garden Thoughts

           Let me start by saying I have watched Boys Over Flowers first, then watched Hana Yori Dango, then almost finished watching Hana Yori Dango the Anime, and am now in Season 2 Ep 25 of Meteor Garden. The reason I stopped watching Hana Yori Dango the Anime was because I have always loved and love the second lead Hanazawa Rui/ Ji Hoo ripping my heart out as the second lead, but I did not like how in the Anime he went with the girl whom was a model and fiancee to some French guy (I really don't remember her name). That really ruined the rest of the story for me so I definitely stopped watching it.

            I finally came around watching Meteor Garden and yes I was on board both the Daoming Si with Shan Cai or the Hazue Lei with Shan Cai story. I honestly had trouble during the first season getting into Meteor Garden because I am used to either listening to the Korean or Japanese language so I believe I was listening to the Chinese(?) language since I recall the F4 making fun of Dao Ming Si's Chinese, I am not all that positive which language it was but getting to the main point it's kinda a little harder to adapt like when I first watched my first drama, it's a different culture. That made it a little harder to adapt to the drama and also the fact that it's older, (believe it or not) the fashion, the definition, and also some parts could have been a bit more exciting during the first season. I am on episode 25 Season 2 of Meteor Garden and I look back at season 1 and can't remember the special parts which I can remember in the Korean or Japanese version (regardless of which I prefer) like when she punches Dao Ming Si, or when they first bully her, or when they dress her up nice. Those parts and the other parts could have definitely been more memorable! 

              Season 2 was definitely more memorable and I hate to say it; ok no, you'll hate to read it but I prefer Dao Ming Si with Ye Sha, Sorry! They are much more adorable and there's a point where I started getting real annoyed with Shan Cai! I believe I got annoyed with Shan Cai when she had first said something along the lines of "What if my love isn't 1/10th of your love" and that's what it started feeling like! When she supposedly actually loved Dao Ming Si she got annoying I was getting more and more annoyed with the change in Shan Cai's character as she grew more attached to Dao Ming Si! I think it was around ep 19 of Season 1 she was gradually annoying me, don't get me wrong Dao Ming Si was perfect knowing what his heart was capable of! I could care less how some people side with Shan Cai! I started feeling she didn't deserve Dao Ming Si as the story progressed and I kept seeing how perfect this guy was! I can't hate Ye Sha she has a personality that matches well with the charm of Dao Ming Si and made me biased towards her and was more fun than Shan Cai.

I didn't expect for Season 2 to be anymore different or memorable but I was completely wrong I prefer Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si's story of the Dao Ming Si who lost memory of his bad past and is saved by Ye Sha in Spain where she brought him out of his mind's limits and helped him construct a life where they live growing an innocent love for each other even with the obstacles! These two make a really good couple and as Season 2 developed I started leaning all the way towards this couple that I even forgot about Lei! Ye Sha is adorable and has a personality that did nothing to annoy me and Dao Ming Si definitely was perfect for her! It was the little things that made them really cute together specially the innocence, story, and things like the coconuts the Ye Sha star and also the drawings! This could have been another story, I have yet to read the manga but I definitely think this story drifted! I definitely thought at a point, screw the original story line put these two together! I promise if you watch the Second Season before the first you'll know why I say this!

Osts Compilation: From Dramas to Anime

 I originally compiled a variety of my favorite osts (soundtracks) from dramas and animes for my own selfish self but I figured, what the heck there might be someone out there who   might actually read this list…

                                                     o r   
                                                         m a y b e 

                                                                       n   o   t 

The osts listed are my favorites not necessarily the whatever show it is, the "other" category are other songs I liked as well just not my ultimate favorite and the + is a link to more. Will add more as time goes on and I don't watch anime much so of course I haven't added enough.
