This Korean drama has been keeping me occupied these last few weeks. It revived a hidden, sleeping fangirl part inside of me. It unleashed my fangirlism in such a crazy way that it made me feel so high up on the air almost everyday watching the scenes and wondering what would happen next. As crazy as I could be, I decided to write a review even though the series has not ended yet. Well, it will end this week, two more episodes to go after all. :(

Obvious warning, spoilers ahead, as much as I try to keep it as superficial as possible, so do NOT read if you do NOT want to be spoiled!

All in all, I didn't regret watching this drama at all. I'm glad I liked Lee Seung Gi from before, from Brilliant Legacy. I checked K2H because of him, and didn't regret it at all. In fact it colored my days waiting for new episodes and with the amazing soundtracks.

I so can't wait to see how this story would conclude. AhHa rocks! <3

Another short review for me, yes! Kind of to celebrate the exam today, my friends and I went to watch a movie at a nearby theater. We chose to watch Battleship. Quite a nice movie, in my opinion, it reminds me of Transformers series quite much, but this one is done at the sea. XD Well, I hope you enjoy reading it!

In general, Battleship might not be a movie you want to watch if you seek for a strong and solid plot, but it is still an enjoyable movie. With all the effects and characterization, the plot becomes more lively compensating for the standard flow of the plot.
