And that one step changes their relationship

After Goblin, I thought I will stop kdrama. But my recent trip back from korea made my heart itch for another kdrama. And I chose "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" to fill the itch. And finished it within the week, before the next project goes on full force.

I didn't plan to blog on it though but there were a few running thoughts when I finally reached the last episode and I decided to do just penned a short pensieve.

“Progressing from friends to lovers is simple; one person just needs to take a step closer. And that one step changes their relationship.”
- Min Min said to Bong Bong on her first love

I guess the same can be said that one wrong step can change everything too. And that's why Policeman might have made the wrong step when he said that he like girls who are weak even though he was referring to Bong Bong. Because after that, everything became off for them.

Or maybe it was because policeman "couldn't see her feelings because I was overwhelmed with mine."

Of which the brother asked "If I told you, would it have been different?"

I once knew a couple that like each other. I knew how each of them feel. But nothing ever happened to them. And the guy went on to like and marry another person instead. I always wondered how come they don't know how each other felt. And had it been wrong that I did not disclose it for them. Or was it just not meant to be? Maybe it is true that one can get blinded by one's own overwhelmed feelings.

Anyway this had been a super slow drama. Especially on the pervert part, it actually stretched till the second last episode before it finally closed the story. I almost died in excruciating pain waiting for the pervert to be caught. But scenes like re-watching Han River and Banpo Bridge (i think it is) again made me remember my Korea trip. And when she appeared at COEX, I was thinking to myself, oh I know that place. There's not many drama where I usually can relate to the places. I'm guessing it is because how recently I just visited Korea that's why I felt all so familiar.

But my favourite scene has to be the wedding. Because it is exactly like how my friend's wedding procession is like. I remember being so excited about the bridal room because I used to see it in other kdramas. And seeing my friend waiting in the bridal room was probably one of the most beautiful moment in my life. I'm so glad I had attended her wedding. And this wedding scene totally relieve the moments for me again.  Aww...

Here's to the mess we make

I was glad to have caught La La Land on the plane last month. I didn't know what I was expecting. I didn't know the ending was controversial. I didn't know most didn't like the ending. Because... I do. Because it touched such a raw nerve, so accurate that I wanted to blog about it immediately. I don't know why I didn't. But I know why I did it finally today.

Once again, I lost the access to the blogs. Is not the first time. Will it be the last time? Decade ago, when we had such fights, this will be the tactic used. Nowadays we hardly even spoke a word, yet I am still subjected to such treatment. I cannot send a word, I cannot ask a question. And I stopped posting on FB so as not to upset. But I know that the korea trip, I will be tagged. And I thought maybe just 1 post. But when I realised I lost the access.. I finally let go..

I really had high hopes.. that the friendship can be salvaged. The heart ache so much.. that it failed. Had I really overrated the person? Or had I been selfish to think it could have worked? Is that why Mia had to walk away? No matter how much Sebastian had dreamt of the future, he was not with his jazz club in that future. It's only in real life that he and her can achieved everything they want. At the expense of a diverging path.

Here's to the ones who dream 

Foolish as they may seem 

Here's to the hearts that ache 

Here's to the mess we make 

She told me: 

"A bit of madness is key 

To give us new colors to see 

Who knows where it will lead us? 

And that's why they need us"
