K-Drama - The Innocent Man, Nice Guy (2012)


I've finally finished this drama!!! It's only been a few days... (has it even been a week?! zomg..) since I've started, but I'm FINALLY finished ~__~ This drama was just soooo heavy that it feels like I took a long, long time to watch it. I'm not sure if I love that feeling or not.. heh. It was enjoyable, but I spent a lot of time hitting my chest during the drama... I don't know how else to describe it xD It was good... it wasn't great, though. I feel like the idea for the ending was good, but it could have been executed a lot better. The way they tied things up in the end felt really rushed, and they had to sacrifice a lot of things - including quality...- to be able to conclude it cleanly. Overall I still think City Hunter is a better drama, that's in the same sort of genre. Nice Guy was just a little too heavy for my tastes, I guess. The leads had great acting and fantastic chemistry, though. I love how Joongki and ChaeWon look together c: Hehehehe.

I thought this was such a beautiful, beautiful touch. When I started the first episode, I thought I saw wrong, so I had to go back and rewatch it. He's smiling.. at the end.. while the clock ticks forwards instead of speeding backwards... such a clever touch c: Awww Joongki's face -sigh- I'm going to miss watching that too.. lol.
Oh yeah, and during the last few episodes... everything happened so fast... but it was when I bawled watching it ;__; That conversation between Maru and JaeHee where he blames himself for everything that has happened, and how JaeHee wouldn't be like that if Maru didn't take the blame for her killing that man 5?6?7? years ago. It was so beautifully done.. bravo Joongki & SiYeon, bravo! I felt like you could really feel the deep relationship between those characters -sigh- T_T And also that conversation between Maru and JaeHee where he asserts that he refuses to die with her because he's never done anything wrong in his life. Everything he has done/does is selfless, and he has no reason to be punished... that was so heartbreaking..thinking about all the things he had to endure to protect people he loves. And I think that's one thing that really helps you get into this drama... the characters are brought to life and developed so well that you actually begin to empathize with them and believe that they exist.
Anyway overall, good drama, not great. Great character development and casting, awesome acting, oh yeah! And a pretty darn awesome OST to boot.




It's fun being able to blog about dramas :p I think I'll do this more often... it's nice having a place to just blab about it.

Recent Purchases


Yo whaddap! Here's another recent purchases post... not that many things but yeah xD
Picked up some nail stuff at Walmart last Thursday after my final :3 Things like this are just soooo much cheaper at Walmart... .__."

Sally Hansen nail art pen $6.97 and Essie nail set (Eternal Optimist & A Cut Above) $14.00. Both from Walmart
I wanted to get "Set in Stones" but the set it comes in comes with Turquoise& Caicos, which I already have... so I don't wanna pay for that = = I still want Shine of the Times too.. but I can't find it anywhere.. I shoulda just got them last year I'm such a genius lol.. o well whatevs..

I was at Lougheed anyway so I decided to take a look around the H&M there since I always seem to find good stuff at that location haha.. and I found this dress! I eyed it when it first arrived.. but originally it's like friggin $60, which I'm not gonna spend on a dress that I'm not aiming to wear for anything special, so I never tried it on. But I saw it on the sale rack for $30. It's size 14, and I'm usually anywhere between an 8 to 12, but I decided to try it on just for the hell of it.. and it fit! It's kinda those type of dresses that are constricting, so the 14 gave me comfy room to move around in.. SO I JUST PICKED IT UP~~ It totally sucks cuz I still had that coupon for $5 off.. but it expired THE DAY BEFORE I went and got the dress = = UGH How annoying. I wouldn't have gone the day before anyway since I needed the whole day to study... but whateverrrrr.... :/

Oxblood dress w/ embellished Peter Pan collar, $30, H&M
 Oh and lastly, these are the shoes I ordered from Aldo a while ago. I freaking LOVE the colour! It's so bright and in your face hahahaha :D They're not suuuper comfy, but I don't forsee myself wearing them on days when I need to walk a lot, so it doesn't matter haha.

Aldo Khabou in royal blue, $38.49
 Oh yeah and I wanted to add my Christmas nails from last year into this post cuz I haven't done Christmas nails this year haha :p

They kinda look watermelon-y haha but I still love how pretty they are... maybe I'll end up doing it this year too :p

Anyway that's all for now. Bye! ^^

Recent Purchases ~ Online Purchases + Winter Deals

Why hello there ^^
Sigh~ These days I've been going a bit crazy with the shopping u__u" I really gotta calm down with the shopping in the next few months.. = = But knowing myself, and how bored I am all the time, I don't think I'll be able to calm down much = = Anyway, I purchased 2 bags within like a week or so? Both from online.
This first one is from Hautelook ^^ It's by a designer named Joseph Charles. Probably not a super mainstream brand name, since I've never heard of him before, but originally, these bags were like, $400 0__0 Which is crazy... I only paid $89 for it :P Gotta love Hautelook!

Gray Tote Bag w/ adjustable strap, $89, Joseph Charles (Hautelook)
 I only purchased this cuz Cindy wanted a pair of sneaker wedges off Hautelook. They still haven't arrived yet, but at least they're shipped out :p I didn't wanna pay for all that shipping cost for only one item :x

This second bag I ordered off the TownShoes/The Shoe Company website cuz they were having a Cyber Monday deal where everything was 20% off. This was originally $128. I've had my eye on it for a while now >.< Every time I walked into a Town Shoes I'd look for it :p But I'd only ever see this bag at Metrotown o.0 Anyway it's by a brand named L.Credi. I tried looking up their website, but it was all in a foreign language I couldn't understand lol. I'm not sure exactly what language, but I'm pretty sure it was a European language. Regardless, I'm loooving these two bags ^o^

Black Tote bag w/ removable strap, $102,40, The Shoe Company (w/ discount)

Next is this sweater! I've had my eye on this for like.. a month? Nah.. maybe a few weeks now >.<
I was waiting til after the 29th so I could use this coupon I had for $5 off. This sweater is originally $39.95 >.< Glad I got the discount.. I don't think I'd pay full price for it, but it is really adorable and I love it :p I originally saw it at Lougheed, but I found it at Pacific Centre and I just purchased it there :)

Gray Hi-lo Hem Sweater, $34.95, H&M (w/ discount)

Ohhh and I also got this realllly pretty collar necklace from H&M. I only purchased it cuz I saw it was on sale.. No way I'd pay 30 bucks for it LOL
I don't really know how I'm gonna wear this though.. I just bought it cuz it's so cute ;o; Hmmmmmm.... I'll figure it out later .__."
Pearl Collar Necklace, $10, H&M (sale)
 I saw these awesome sparkly shoes at Aldo a few months ago.. and I really liked them.. but I wasn't about to pay $70 for them haha... They were on sale, so I got them :P

Black loafers w/ rhinestones, Rembold, $45,49, Aldo
Black loafers w/ rhinestones, Rembold, $45,49, Aldo
 I've already worn them twice.. and I have to say, they're definitely not the most comfiest shoes.. but I still have to break them in >.< They were hurting the widest part of my feet on the sides as well as my heel.. but nothing a few bandaids can't fix... lol.... Well for the most part, I just really have to break them in and make them comfy = = It's not perfect time of the year for shoes like this.. hahaha.. I still really want a pair of ankle booties or.. like mid-calf booties? Something along those lines.. -sigh- But I'm trying to cut back on spending = = It's so hardddd~~
Speaking of which.. lol... I also ordered a pair of royal blue studded loafers from Aldo.. I wanted to get them, but they didn't have my size.. so I was forced to order them :/ Meh, they won't take long to come in anyway. I'll take pics of them when I get them haha.

And here's my last purchases.. My Kpop purchases ^^
I got Kim Sunggyu (Infinite's leader :D)'s solo album, "Another Me" and B1A4's "In the Wind"
That's all for now! Until next time~~
