Have you watched the latest Single’s Inferno? It is the newest South Korean’s reality tv dating show from Netflix. I never thought that I would be so hook with it. I have waiting for it every week for new episodes.

All of the contestants are single, they are all ready to mingle. They will all stay in the “Inferno Island”, it is a desert island where the feelings are developed and challenges are given, while in “Paradise” the contestant will choose a person to have a date in a hotel overnight. Not just a simple hotel, it is an extravagant hotel with your private rooms, pools, jacuzzi and a lot more. They will only stay in the island or paradise for 9 days with the hope of finding a new love.

The Verdict:

I have watched a few reality tv dating show, I can say I can compare it to Too Hot Too Handle but in a conservative version. Because Koreans have a conservative culture than the western reality tv dating show. I also love how Korean’s host the reality tv dating show with the commentary, it is just like any Korean variety shows. It feels like they are also watching with us and voicing out their thoughts.

Moving forward, the contestants are all good looking and sexy. I am not so used to “MACHO” image with Korean men but they are really 0% fat. Oh la la! The abs, the biceps, the chiseled jaws, I forgot I have a husband. Hahahahah kiddin. I love you hun! Mostly, in the Kdramas they are mostly boy-next-door image. For the ladies, wow! They are all sexy and I am not also used to Korean ladies having revealing clothes like wearing 2-piece swim suit.

I love the anticipation they leave the audience wanting to have moreeee. The twist they give to the show was good. They keep it interesting. The only thing that they don’t have was the life after the reality show. They don’t have an update. No interviews or what. I was used to reunions and clearing things out just like in the western reality tv show. It made me stalk all the contestant in their social media especially in Instagram. I was so obsessed to who end up together as a couple in the real world. However, NADA! If I learn something from them, don’t worry I will keep you posted. *wink wink*

I will give them... 4.5 stars (-.5 because no update after reality show)

Who are your favorite couple/s? Comment down below. I want to know.

Last episode of Marvel’s What IF..? was premiered yesterday. DAMN! That ending was sooooo good! Most of my friends have not watch it yet, I am sharing my thoughts in my blog. I learned this series from my husband. He is the one told me about this. During that time, it is still one episode. Every Wednesday, since then we are waiting for the new episode to watch.

Multi-Universe is so complicated. I love it! Hahahaha the possibility is endless. I also think this series has a connection in the new series coming up in the Marvel World. Loki Series is also about the Multiverse (will blog about it too next time). Every series that the Marvel is showing right now is preparing us for the Multiverse War, I think. Not super expert here, okay? Comment down below if you have spoilers for the future series and movies. Haha

Here are the episodes below with comments that might be spoiler:

I love the series. It always get me thinking of the things that will happen. Every episode was unique and not expected at all. I am not a comic reader so all of this for me was exciting and keeps be going and waiting for more. Who would thought to kill all the avengers? Not everyone was destined to be them. On the universe or timeline we know, they are the greatest. Everything is new and it is sometimes hard to digest as a fan of the avengers. We all always want them to be the hero nor be killed. But this one differs in every episode. I like the idea. This is interesting. As a viewer, we always want something more and the marvel gave it. AMAZING! Recommending it!!!

During the first year of pandemic, I was looking for a tv series that I could watch even if I am doing other things like folding clothes, doing some household chores or anything that I don’t need to read the subtitles. I think the first thing to consider is, it should be in English. Haha Korean telenovelas should be watched with full attention because of the subtitles. Hold and behold!!! I suddenly remember I want to try and jump to the bandwagon of How I met your mother tv series. At first, I am a little skeptical because it has 9 seasons. I am doubting myself that I might not finish the whole thing. Guess what? I want to give myself a pat on the back. I finished the 9 seasons without skipping an episode.

Well, I have seen some of the episode before when Netflix is not yet a thing. I have watched it through ETC channel. Sometimes they also have a marathon weekend for catch up series. I was able to watch it few years ago. Last year, I started it and I was hooked again. Let me give some of the general plot of the series.

It all started from Ted Mosby, he tells the story to his children. The story on how he met the mother of his kids. The setting of the story was in New York City. It was a long plot to be honest. He shares all his dating stories and the unbelievable adventure of their friends in a very comedic way. They always met up on a pub or sometimes on Ted Mosby and Marshall Eriksen’s apartment above the pub.

The writers of this series are really genius, it has a lot of plot twist that could go wrong or go in a very different direction but will always find a way to make us laugh. I love the diversity of the characters. Ted Mosby is a hopeless romantic. He always believes in love and will do anything for love. Marshall Eriksen is a loyal partner to Lily Aldrin. The couple story mostly involves the harsh reality of a long relationship, it is not always sunshine and butterflies. It might be sometimes drought or thunder and lighting. They have their way to compromise and always end up with each other’s arms. While Robin Scherbatsky, she is a Canadian reporter who they became friends with during Ted Mosby’s relationship with her. However, she is a person who does not believe in love and marriage. She has a lot different perspective in life. Lastly, Barney Stinson our.. wait for it.. legendary character. He gives the spice in their existence. He is a womanizer freak. He loves to get it and leave. In our present generation, he likes to GHOST his girls. Hahaha

When I reached the last episode of this series, I felt sad that it was already over. I will have a hard time a finding a new tv series with this kind of wit. Will I recommend this series? Of course! It might have 9 seasons but it has only around 30 minutes per episode. It will be easy to binge watch.

I will rate this tv series as 5 out of 5 stars!!!

Have you watched HIMYM? Comment down below your thoughts about it.

It first aired last May 2017, I was able to watched it around 2018 or 2019 I guess. I did not jump to the bandwagon right away. It is not may genre in some way but you know I love to try new things. After watching the first season, I am hooked. I love the characters. Everyone is different and effin damage in their own way. It makes everyone unique.

Marianne is a French horror tv series. It was release last September 13, Friday. It was a good timing to watch the series. It was my first time to try to watch a horror tv series from the French. I expected a lot and they did not disappoint.

I will give you a short plot about the tv series, it was consisting of eight episodes. The story will revolve with the name Marianne. Who is she? She was a witch from the 1500s. She wants everyone to be like her, to have a miserable life.

Emma the writer in the story, she wrote horror stories from her dreams. Then one day, her friend (Camille) went to her book signing event and told her to go home. Camille’s mother was acting weird and creepy. She told Emma that her mother read her stories 10 times. Camille’s mother also kept telling her that she is Marianne. The story will eventually take over to the place where Emma grew up. It is in Elden. Secret’s will be revealed. You should watch it!!!

It was something I did not expect at all. It was good! I got scared and afraid. I am not a horror story fan but this one is a good one. You should not miss it. I also suggest don’t watch it alone. There are a lot of surprising events that will lead you to scream. I hate you Marianne!!! The old lady (Camille’s mother) is a good actress for sure. She gave me goosebumps whenever she is on the screen. She portrait it like she was really the living Marianne. Will it still have a season 2? Why not? There is still a huge twist in the end. Maybe Marianne will be reborn? What do you think? After watching the this one, tell me your thoughts and comment them below.

The moral of the story, I suggest don’t ever learn from experiences especially if it is a folklore about a witch. It might be true. To avoid her, always ask your friend/ someone suspicious if she is Marianne, she will tell you the truth. She cannot lie.

I will give this tv series a

⭐⭐⭐⭐✯

4.5 out of 5 stars

I also added a video that summarize all the season of GOT, just in case you don't have time to watch every season per episode or the recap video per season. I got you all covered, darling!

Are you excited for the finale season of Game of Thrones? For me, I am ecstatic but a little sad too. Do you have theories for Season 8? Do you have a guess in the ending of this series? Comment down below. Share your thoughts!

This series is an adaptation of Gerard Way’s famous comic book named The Umbrella Academy. In addition, to those people who don’t know Gerard Way he is the one and only vocalist of the band called My Chemical Romance. Who doesn’t know Helena and Black Parade? Gosh! You are living under a rock. Haha or I’m just starting to be a Tita or maybe only people with my age range knows him like 19-ish?? hahaha. Char! I did the research for you, if you’re interested or curious to know him. Please watch their music videos from the past and tell me. Video below.

 

Anyways, back to the series… 

 It started in the year 1989, there are 43 infants born randomly and instantly because the entire woman who got pregnant doesn’t show any signs of pregnancy before they gave birth. A billionaire named Sir Reginald Hargreeves, tried to adopt every one of them but only seven babies were adopted. He was the one created the Umbrella Academy, to prepare and groom them to save the world. Fast forward in the present, he died that is the reason why his children gather again for his wake and to remember him. During his burial, number five suddenly appeared from the future. He told some of his siblings that apocalypse is coming. End of intro. Hahaha I will stop here to avoid being a spoiler.

The Verdict:

The series is different from others. It started a little weird but once you continued it, you will get hooked for sure, because that’s what happened to me. Haha I just got curious for Gerard Way was the creator of the storyline. I did not expect that it would be action packed episodes. It has too much mystery, because some of the character’s background is not that developed yet. I am also expecting it will give light to the characters on the 2nd season. It has suspense, thriller, mystery, action, time travelling and many more. I could compare it with X-Men, it has the recipe of powers plus the word apocalypse and someone guiding them like professor X. Do you agree? In addition, I really enjoyed the twist of the stories. I love it! I will definitely wait for the next season. By the way, I love the OST.

Just a short intermission, here is the soundtrack of The Umbrella Academy:

Check out the office Trailer:

Before this post ends, here is my rating of for this series:

Have you watch it too? What are your thoughts? Comment down below! 

Goblin or Goblin: The Lonely and The Great God is one of the best Kdrama I have ever watched. Ganda nya promise!!! haha It revolves with the story of the Goblin (Gong Yoo) and the Grim Ripper (Lee Dong-Wok). It will explain why the Goblin had his immortal life and why grim ripper received those kind of jobs. Everything has a reasons and it will be explained thru out the series. Then, there is this highschool girl (Kim Go-eum-I as Ji Eum-tak), who falls inlove with the Goblin, she is the also called Goblin's bride by some random ghost. haha She is the only person who can take away the Goblin's immortality. It will be conflict in the later part of the series. Goblin will make a decision to stay alive or to die. I won't tell. Everyone should watch this series!!!  Kwentuhan tayo!

The reason of being so MIA (missing in action) on my blog because of tv series and Korean novelas. Yes! Totoo po ang balibalita, kinain na po ako ng sistema ng tv series lalo na ang Korean novela. Hahaha Kaloka po! So I will start posting reviews of Korean Novelas again and anime series too.

For today, I will post my review about W. Yes. Tamad na tamad po sila magtitle kaya isang letter lang ang bet nila ipangalan sa Kdrama na ito. LOL. W is about the world of comics vs reality. The main character Lee Jong-suk as Kang Cheol, he is a gold Olympic medalist in shooting that was suspected in killing his own family because of the unknown killer. Then, after 10 or more years, he became rich and wants to know the identity of the killer who killed his family. On the other hand, Han Hyo-joo as Oh Yeon-joo is the daughter of the famous creator of webtoons called W and she is also a doctor.  She will be the love interest of Cheol. First encounter of the two will be the accident on the rooftop that almost killed Kang Cheol but Yeon-joo went inside the webtoons to saved Cheol. The rest of the story should be watched. Haha

✭✭✭✫✫

 Overall, I will rate this Kdrama 3.5 stars out of 5 stars.

I heard a lot of recommendations from my friends and my colleagues that this tv series is to watch for. Yes! I totally agree. I joined the hype.

The theme song of Pretty Man here in our country (Philippines) is 'Ikaw na nga yata' by Kathryn  Bernardo. It is so catchy. I also did not expected it was Kathryn Bernardo. If you want to listen to the full version of the song, play the video below:
