Two drama recommendations"},"content":{"rendered":"

I’ve been asking my body this question for a month now.<\/p>\n

Gotta love nerve damage.\u00a0 Not really, but its now a part of daily life for this cancer survivor.\u00a0 What really sucks though is when you screw up your shoulder and set off the damage nerves in your arm\u00a0 to new heights of burning and torture.\u00a0 Oh yeah… the last 3 weeks…\u00a0 um…. we don’t really need a whole arm…right?\u00a0\u00a0 I hadn’t felt this bad since the original surgery.<\/p>\n

One benefit of my nerves from hell was that I spent a lot of time in bed.<\/p>\n

\"AWR3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wish.\u00a0 lol!<\/p>\n

I am single and dateless and that meant that I had plenty of time to catch up and discover some new dramas that I hadn’t had time to get to know.\u00a0 Even some new faces to drool over and appreciate.<\/p>\n

Lets start with A Witches Romance.\u00a0 Now,\u00a0 I had mentioned earlier that I didn’t care for the site\u00a0 Viki.com because I felt it was confusing and hard to navigate.\u00a0 That is true for the desktop version.\u00a0\u00a0 Being stuck in bed, I was forced to try the Iphone app to watch this drama since Dramafever didn’t have it yet.\u00a0 Oh my gosh….SOOOOO much easier to deal with.\u00a0 Now, on to what is probably the cutest of all the Noona romances I’ve seen so far.<\/p>\n

Noona romances are a fun genre.\u00a0 Most try to take themselves pretty seriously giving some validation for those May to December romances that happen in real life.\u00a0\u00a0 Korea is pretty traditional and these stories help get people more comfortable with these situations.\u00a0 A Witch’s Romance, however,\u00a0 pokes fun of itself and the genre as often as possible while giving you an adorable story to watch.<\/p>\n

\"AWR1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With Uhm Jung Hwa as our witchy noona and Park Seo Joon as our young dedicated lover, these two play off each other well.\u00a0\u00a0 Its a Korean remake of the Taiwanese drama My Queen.\u00a0\u00a0 Where I couldn’t finish My Queen because it took itself a little too seriously in the beginning, this version keeps a light hand and a good sense of the ridiculous the whole ride.\u00a0\u00a0 While the hottest and possibly funniest scenes in the entire series happen in episode 2, don’t let that turn you off.\u00a0 The whole story is funny, adorable and loveable and you will absolutely fall for the chemistry between our lovers as they try to navigate the problems of these type of relationships.\u00a0\u00a0 This is on my favorites list and I will happily re-watch this over and over again.<\/p>\n

The other new drama I marathoned was last years Panda and Hedgehog.<\/p>\n

\"miss-panda-hedgehog-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know how I missed this one last year considering I love Super Junior and Choi Jin Hyuk is a favorite.\u00a0\u00a0 The girl, Yoon Seung Ah,\u00a0 may be more familiar to those who have seen I need Romance 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This was another good drama.\u00a0 Lee Dong Hae plays a pastry chef with no memory before age 11.\u00a0\u00a0 Jin Hyuk and Seung Ah play childhood friends with a tragic past.\u00a0\u00a0 All three come together to find their place in the world of high end desserts while solving the mystery of missing memories.\u00a0\u00a0 The love story is sweet, but not what compels you to keep watching.\u00a0 It’s actually the bromance between Dong Hae and Jin Hyuk that pulls you in episode after episode.\u00a0\u00a0 They start out as love rivals and quickly become best friends.\u00a0\u00a0 They are adorable together, even when the story becomes heart breaking.<\/p>\n

Be warned, those suffering from food porn addictions will not find these episodes easy.\u00a0 Don’t watch on an empty stomach or you’ll be heading to the nearest bakery to stop the flow of saliva from all the delicious desserts you’re going to see made.<\/p>\n

So there ya go,\u00a0 two recommendations worth watching.\u00a0 I know I used the word adorable way too many times, but there really isn’t another word that better suits these two dramas.<\/p>\n
