I suppose this post is somewhat aligned with my recent take of Kevin Kwan’s second novel, China Rich Girlfriend. Anyway, I wanted to continue writing about my current Kdrama delights. Mostly because I took some time from watching so many dramas back to back. And recently refreshed my viewing taste with something new to spoon 'n' sip nightly before bed.
I watch Kdramas between Hulu and Netflix–via the PS4. Me watching dramas on the computer feels like my eyes are being cooked ten minutes into my attempts. Nonetheless, I prefer Hulu as my main source. Mostly because they update with new shows and episodes weekly. Whereas Netflix gets shows all in one serialized lump a while later. However, Netflix has ad-free benefits. Which works for me sometimes, despite it having a smaller library of titles. Nevertheless, Hulu recently had a ton of Kdramas (and sadly the Japanese dramas as well) streaming licenses expire. So their library recently switched around and is now kind of pitiful compared to those glory years where I lay absorbed in all they had available. Even most of my favorite dramas were extracted from the roster. And some future viewing prospects simply vanished from my Watchlist que.
Slowly, a few older and recent dramas trickled in as replacements, but no one can ignore that blunt gap left in Hulu’s catalog. I looked at it one day, and the once seemingly endless scroll of titles was marginalized to a quarter's worth of remnants. Yet, out of the process, here is one survivor I consider my latest obsessions.
I should go ahead and disclaimer how this post is probably geared toward those who’re familiar with this genre of entertainment. You know, Asian-centric melodrama to the ninth degree. So if the story sound hooky, it’s the norm. Although I honestly think this drama lean more toward a conceivably, realistic batch of scenarios. (Except for the grandmother who was spirited away.)
