Weekly OCDrama Digest 29th Dec – 5 Jan 2014

Happy new year folks! How goes the new year’s resolutions? I have resolved to take better care of myself, which means dropping dramas like hot potatoes. On with the news round-up this week:

1. New couples great the new year in K-ent! First Seung Gi and YoonA were outted by Dispatch and followed by Baksa  Jung Kyung Ho and Soo Young a day later.  I’m just happy that it looks like the SNSD girls are allowed to have love lives after all. Funny story about the Seung Gi-YoonA (what’s their couple name? GiYoo? SeungNA?) news: I couldn’t sleep so I woke up at some ungodly hour that night, read the news, and then fell back asleep awhile later, only to dream about Seung Gi. As expected it was pretty bizarro, but I don’t remember much except me and Seung Gi were scouring an underground shopping mall looking for food in the middle of the night. Seung Gi must have made an impression because I remember thinking, “Gosh, Seung Gi sure is a really sweet guy. A doofus though, but sweet.”

Weekly OCD Drama Digest Christmas Edition 2013

Look everyone! It’s Lee Min Ho Ho Ho! 

Since it’s the holiday season, I decided to give you the gift of bad photoedit jobs and lame puns, one which I’m convinced you’ve heard before. But seriously, before I head home for the holidays, I wish everyone a good meal with good company and hopefully, a good drama!

1. It’s that time of the year for best-of lists,  and the general consensus in the dramaverse seems to be it’s been mostly ‘meh’ with one or two bright spots but distressingly bad for rom-coms. You would think a good rom-com wouldn’t be so hard to come by but noooo. Dramaland,  go sit in a corner!

The Heirs Awards

In lieu of a review,  and since it’s awards season, I will steal a leaf from Writerly Rants who has given away her own awesome Heirs awards all series long.

Favourite OTP: Hee Nam and Ki Ae 

The relationship between Kim Tan’s mother and Eun Sang’s mother was everything an OTP’s should be– supportive, reciprocal and a real treat to watch. I enjoyed them, and as the only women in the show who drew strength from each other, it was a source of warmth and light in show that felt so glum. We got to see them grow from unlikely allies to bickering ahjummah besties, despite their class divide (perhaps because the divide was false anyway). Dynamite actresses Kim Sung Ryung and Kim Mi Kyung deserve kudos for being, well, dynamite.

Weekly OCD Drama Digest 9 – 15 December

Greetings earthlings! On a whim I got a tumblr blog  which has completely over taken my real online life. And so I’ve neglected my duties here but I will get back on track this week. Promise. On with this week’s round-up:

1. You too can own a piece of Lee Min Ho’s Heirs fugly! The actor is reportedly auctioning off his clothes from the drama which he bought at a cost of USD 50, 000. Proceeds will be going to charity. Yes my friends, you too can look just like your grandmother’s sofa: 

Heirs: The Only Reason to Keep Watching

I used to have five reasons, but now I only have one. This guy:
