Returning back to Blogging: 30-Day Asian Drama Challenge – Day 29

 

arm-30day-challenge-d29

Welcome back to Day #29 of this 30-Day Asian Drama Challenge. One more day to go after this…seems almost surreal. How is that 30 days has already gone by? I really do hope that this challenge is enough to encourage me to continue blogging much more often this year than previous years. Here is today’s question:

Drama that everyone else absolutely loved and you absolutely did not

There’s most definitely an abundance of answers for this question. I just simply hope that I don’t offend anyone with my answers…they are just my honest opinion on some dramas.

Returning back to Blogging: 30-Day Asian Drama Challenge – Day 28

Hello and what is this? We only have 2 more days of this challenge?!! Indeed we do. Today’s question is in fact:

Your top three sisterhoods in dramas

Unlike the abundance of possible answers like yesterday, today’s answer is a lot more difficult. Surprisingly, asian dramas (specifically K-dramas) I’ve noticed don’t create as many sisterhoods as there are bromances. That is really disappointing in my opinion since the ones that do exist are just so sweet, and it would be nice if the female leads had a bigger support network to rely on. Here are the ones that I have been able to remember and note down:

Hello and a very happy warm welcome back! Oh my god~~ Three more days to go of this challenge! Can’t believe that it has been almost a month since I first started posting for this. It’s really starting to feel bittersweet. The question for the day is:

Your top three bromances in dramas

…I think this question is trying every way to kill me. ONLY 3?!! But, but, but…that’s almost impossible! How am I supposedly going to be able to reduce all of K-drama’s cute and awesome bromances into only just 3 :/ *sigh* Welp, sorry to all the other bromances that I’ve failed to list in this post…you’ll always be in my heart xD

Returning back to Blogging: 30-Day Asian Drama Challenge – Day 26

Hello and welcome back to the challenge! We have 4 more days everyone, 4 more days!!! Today’s question is:

Drama character you’d actually want to be

Well…this question got me quite stuck. Really stuck. It made me really question the idea “Would I wanna be a heroine that tries to get together with the richest guy in town, and be stalked and shunned by ex-girlfriends and evil mother-in-laws?” No, definitely not. So, I went to go in search of a character who I admire and has their life together.

Returning back to Blogging: 30-Day Asian Drama Challenge – Day 25

 

arm-30day-challenge-d25

Welcome back to everyone to the Asian Drama Challenge Day #25!! Can’t believe that there are only 5 more days left till this challenge will finish, and where I’d hopefully be back on track with the whole blogging spiel. Any who, today’s question is:

Drama character you’d actually want to date (not just lust over)

This question was indeed quite a unique one, because although all of us would probably swoon over a bunch of male leads, to have them as your actual boyfriend would probably suck. Luckily, I thought of two answers who I would indeed not mind dating 😉

Hey hey ya’ll and welcome back to the Asian Drama Challenge day #24. For today’s question, it is:

The unhealthiest drama OTP who were better off not being together at all

Well well well, where do I begin? There are just so many out there, where do I begin even? To ensure that I don’t end up rambling and ranting on, I will cut this list down to just 3 (originally I had about 5-6 on this list xD)

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Day #23! For today’s question, it is:

Drama where the child portion of the story was better than the adult one

Ahhh yes, sadly this occurs in K-dramas (or all Asian dramas in general) quite often, where we root for an OTP at the beginning of the drama, but once they grow up, our love for them depletes immediately. Here are just a few of the more memorable ones:

Returning back to Blogging: 30-Day Asian Drama Challenge – Day 22

arm-30day-challenge-d22Hello everybody, lovely to see you! Here is today’s question:

Your favourite noona romance

Apologies in advance for this extremely disappointing list. I’m not someone who watches a lot of noona romances, and I’m not too sure why I don’t. Perhaps I just feel awkward about them? Regardless of the reason though, all I know is that the ones that are noona romances are most definitely in the minority. Below are the ones that I’ve watched, and actually loved:

Hello and welcome back fellow readers/followers! Today’s question is gonna be a fun one!

Your favourite ahjussi romance

I just can’t pick one…there’s been so many. I am definitely a sucker for these ahjussi romances (more so than noona romances to be honest) and it’s quite sad to see that many of these dramas are quite downplayed and less popular than noona dramas. I’m presuming it’s because people are more commonly found in such large age gap relationships, so it hits a nerve? I don’t really know what the true reason is, but certainly the noona dramas are a lot more popular than the ahjussi ones. Anyway, below are the answers I’d give (I kept it to 3 to ensure that I wouldn’t ramble on)

Welcome welcome to Day #20! Can’t believe that we’re 2/3s into this challenge already…Today’s question is in fact:

Your favourite drama from a non-romance genre

I used to watch quite a couple of non-romance dramas in the past since so many good ones came out awhile back. Looking at my drama lists for today’s challenge, I kinda realised that I need to go and explore some more recent non-romance dramas since so many good ones have come out in recent years. But anyway, below are just some past personal favourites.
