Review: We Got Married Global Episode 1- The First Meeting

Ok, I've seen people searching for Lee Hong Ki and his marital status on Google. And I must say that there are lot of you interested in him. (Myself included.) And, yes folks, he is "married". On a reality show called "We Got Married Global Edition" that is.

He is part of a pair of celebrity couples that are filmed in dating and married life situations. The series originally started with just Korean couples, but now they have branched out even further to Japan and Taiwan. You may recognize this show as a lot idols have participated in it. CNBlue's Jung Yong Hwa paired up with Girls Generation's Seohyun as the "Goguma Couple" or "YongSeo Couple". And 2PM's Nichkhun had paired up with f(x)'s Victoria as the "Khuntoria" Couple.

Global Pair #1: Ok Taecyeon (K-Pop Group 2PM) and Wu Ying Xie aka Emma aka "Gui Gui" (Taiwanese Actress/Singer)

Global Pair #2: Lee Hong Ki (K-PopRock Band FT Island) and Fujii Mina (Japanese Actress)

Their First Impressions
Of Mina- she had sent photos of different parts of her face and legs to Hong Ki's cell phone as a way of giving him hints about how she looked like. Hong Ki was very intrigued and thought she had a very nice smile. And her eyes turned down exactly the way he liked in a woman.

Of Hong Ki- for some reason, Mina already knew her who her husband was going to be. She's a fan of FT Island. While she was at the salon getting her hair done, she even sang a bit of FT Island's song, "Love Love Love" (Sarang Sarang Sarang) to the stylist helping her get ready for their first meeting.

Of Gui Gui- it was a first time for everything for Gui Gui. It was her first time to Korea and her first time getting "married". She was dressed in all white for her first meeting and showed up with a very bright expression. She doesn't really understand Korean, but her English is not bad, so she was able to converse somewhat with Taecyeon (He understands English since he was raised in Boston, Massachusetts for about 7 years.)

Of Taecyeon- Taec was very nervous meeting Gui Gui and he hoped that they would like each other. Gui Gui found him handsome, but misunderstood him a little bit at their first meeting.


First Meeting
The Bookstore- Hong Ki and Mina
Hong Ki arrived at the bookstore earlier than Mina and explored a bit. After buying a drink, he sat down to write a note to his soon-to-be-wife.


When Mina arrived, she tiptoed gently towards him so she wouldn't startle him. When they realized who the other was, they both hid their faces in embarrassment as they greeted each other.

Hong Ki was very surprised to find out that Mina could converse in Korean since she is Japanese. He was also very surprised to know that Mina knew of him (even though he didn't know her) and that she was a fan of FT Island. Mina surprised him with a little off-key rendition of "Love Love Love" (Sarang Sarang Sarang) and he was touched that she knew the words. He thought that she could've easily just said the lyrics, but instead, she sang it to him. (Side note: Some artists are particular about their songs and don't like people singing it to them. I'm glad that Hong Ki wasn't like them.)

Hong Ki had challenged Mina to a game of skills by presenting her with a postcard puzzle. He told her that if she put together the puzzle, he would grant her one wish. Mina blazed through the task and put it together in no time. Plus, she read the warm message he had written on the back. Her wish? To have him sing to her, which Hong Ki politely declined at the time since they were in a bookstore.

They found that they had many interest together and that Hong Ki could have had a special "sense" about her tastes. (He ordered her a caramel macchiato, which happened to be a favorite of Mina's. It also happens to be a favorite of Hong Ki's.) Overall their first meeting was very nerve wracking, but very pleasant.

The Shoe Cafe (Chougabi Shoe Cafe)- Taecyeon and Gui Gui
An intrigued Taecyeon arrived at a shop that sold shoes and coffee?? Eh? I guess anything goes in Korea. When Gui Gui arrived, it is apparent that there would be a language barrier. Although Gui Gui can speak English, she can't speak it very well. Not to mention, most of her knowledge of the Korean language and culture came from watching Korean dramas. For example, as they sat at a table getting to know each other, Taecyeon ordered a warm drink for the both of them. Gui Gui was puzzled as the hot chocolate was placed before them. She thought that it was strange for Korean's to be drinking a drink so large at that time of the day. She thought that the mug of hot chocolate was to be drunk in the same way one would take shots of liquor. She kept on saying "one shot" to Taecyeon and proceeded to down the whole drink. She encouraged Taecyeon to do the same. And a befuddled Taecyeon, who didn't want to be impolite, downed his hot chocolate. Later, Taecyeon explained that it wasn't supposed to be downed, but rather sipped at your leisure.

Another example was when they had moved to the shoe room floor. Taecyeon had asked Gui Gui to "window shop". Not understanding what "window shopping" was, Gui Gui's eyes fell on a pair of silver flats that she loved instantly and immediately asked Taecyeon to buy it for her. Taecyeon had to disappoint her by explaining that "window shopping" meant you could only look, not buy. And a disappointed Gui Gui felt he was being tight with his money. Overall, it was a very hilarious episode of Taecyeon trying to explain to Gui Gui in English so she could understand, and Gui Gui trying to get used to the Korean way of things.

After the kerfuffle regarding the shoes, they hit the slopes for some fun in the snow.


The couples had a short hiatus away from each other and return a bit later to find their new homes.

Thoughts: I have to say that these couples are so cute! Gui Gui can be a little annoying with her "oppa" name calling, but she is still adorable. And it's interesting to see how Taecyeon and Gui Gui communicate with each other. I'm glad that Taecyeon is so patient with her. He really breaks down English so she can understand better.

As for Hong Ki and Mina...isn't this kind of cheating? I'm sorry, when I think of Global couples, I think of couples that don't know the same language. Where's the fun in actually being able to converse in the same language? I'm just kidding. I'm not upset, but just surprised. There will be cultural differences that I'm sure will come out down the road. Although I must say...as a FT Island fan, my heart is breaking. Mina is one of the lucky girls that will actually get to know Hong Ki personally.  *Sigh* Ok, I'm over it. I am thoroughly enjoying the series so far and can't wait to see it through to the end.



More to come! Hwaiting!

Updated Review: TvN's Flower Boy Series

Caution: May contain spoilers for those that haven't watched these dramas.

I was actually staying far away from anything that said "Flower Boy" in the title after watching "Boys Before Flowers" and "You're Beautiful". To me, anything that came after that was just following the trend.

And then, I heard TvN was putting out a series of dramas aimed towards the teen/young adult audience. I thought, "Oh hell no.." I saw recaps of "Flower Boy Ramyun Shop" come and go. News hyping up "Shut Up Flower Boy Band" piqued my interest, but not enough to watch. Then I started see wallpaper of Park Shin Hye and Yoon Si Yoon, and I thought, "Oh, geez, why not already?" It starred "Go Minam" and "Kim Tak Gu" so how bad could it be? Well, I am going to be absolutely honest in saying that what I thought would wow me, didn't. And the one that I just dismissed, I loved. Go figure.

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop
The first drama in the "Oh Boy!" series. It was about a hard working and down on her luck young woman named, Yang Eun Bi (Lee Chung Ah), who is at a point in her life where she has decide what she really wants to do. One day, she attends a fair being in held at her college and bumps into a handsome man. They converse briefly, she out of pure friendliness, he out of irritation. She spots her boyfriend across the way and goes to greet him when she realizes that he isn't alone. It turns out that he had been cheating on her while she was faithfully waiting to spend time with him. They lash out at each other and she's dumped. To save face, she exclaims she already has someone else, too and runs to get into the car of the handsome man she met earlier. They drive off a midst water balloons being hurled at his car by her ex's furious girlfriend. He takes her to the river and isn't too nice to her as he scolds her for basically being a fool and leaves her there.

She studies to be a teacher and lands a job at a local high school where she bumps into spoiled pretty rich boy Cha Chi Soo (aka as the handsome guy) played by Jung Il Woo. He was a HIGH SCHOOLER! She realizes this and spends pretty much most of her time there avoiding him. But alas, opposites attract and because of this they get into so much trouble. She comes to many points where she is almost fired, especially after physically disciplining him in front of his class. She is saved from doing anything further from a man claiming to be her HUSBAND. None other than "He Was Cool" actor Lee Ki Woo played Choi Kang Hyuk, the man Eun Bi's father promised her hand in marriage and left the family's ramyun shop to. And from there the love triangle was born.

After being fired from her teaching position finally, Eun Bi brings the ramyun shop a facelift with Kang Hyuk. Chi Soo joins them in order to be closer to Eun Bi along with a couple of other handsome faces from the neighborhood.

In the end, lovable and absolutely handsome, Choi Kang Hyuk, the one that Eun Bi turns to in time of need, crying and helplessness...doesn't get the girl. Go figure. She ends up with formerly spoiled, and eight years her junior Cha Chi Soo.

And that was the last straw for me. I loved that this showed the whole senior-junior relationship between an older woman and a younger man. That spoke reality to me. But Jung Il Woo's character was so over the top overbearingly selfish and childish, it felt really overacted. And that really killed my appreciation for this series. The love triangle was cute. They had pretty good looking actors, especially with Lee Ki Woo, so that was  great. But I could not enjoy it because of Cha Chi Soo. Sorry Jung Il Woo fans.

Flower Boy Next Door
The third installation in the "Oh Boy!" series. Portrayed a reclusive young woman name "Go Dok Mi" played by Park Shin Hye. She stays sequestered in her apartment, away from the world. She takes joy in viewing the outside world through her one window and her binoculars which she uses to spy on her neighbors. One day she gets caught by gamer "Enrique Geum" played by Yoon Si Yoon (Baker King Kim Tak Gu). He storms over to her apartment intending to break down her door only to be cut off by her neighbor, "Oh Jin Rak", played by Kim Ji Hoon. Through some intentional and chance meetings, Enrique gradually breaks down Dok Mi's barriers. He finds out she suffers from a traumatic event in her high school years where she was mistakenly ridiculed for having a relationship with her English teacher. The culprit was her former best friend who was jealous of Dok Mi and wanted to have the English teacher. (She was planning on sleeping with the teacher after graduation) Dok Mi never recovered from that until Enrique came along and healed her and eventually healing her heart. Despite of his feelings for Dok Mi, Jin Rak lets her go and Dok Mi and Enrique live happily ever after.

The good about this was that it had some pretty decent looking people. And the traumatic event Dok Mi was suffering from was different from what I've seen in other dramas. The bad? Dok Mi. And at times Enrique. And Dok Mi's best friend. Dok Mi just moped and moped and moped. It got tiring, it slowed things down, and got boring after a while. Enrique was so bubbly. Too bubbly. At times it worked, and sometimes it didn't. So much sunshine was blinding after a while. And the best friend? I have to say, not evil enough. Yeah, she was devious in high school. But as an adult, the was just annoying. Always getting in Jin Rak's face trying to get him to notice her. Not doing much else to Dok Mi except pretend to still be her friend. Sorry, didn't think she was necessary.

Shut Up Flower Boy Band
This was the wild card. The one I least expected to find anything interesting about. This came out on top to me. It spoke to me. Maybe it's because I'm a musician and I can relate to some of the stuff they went through, I dunno. But I will watch this again.

This was the second installment in the series and focused on the trials and love of a group of punk high school kids who happen to have good looks. It's too much to put all the characters in prose, so here's a breakdown:

Sung Jun- Kwon Ji Hyuk (guitarist and leader)
L/Kim Myung Soo- Lee Hyun Soo (2nd guitarist, the Ice Prince. Member of K-Pop group INFINITE.)
Lee Hyun Jae- Jang Do Il (drummer, mysterious and soft spoken member, son of a gangster. Drummer for K-Rock Indie group, Mate)
UPDATED 6/27/13- Found out that two members of Mate are currently in service with the army and have decided to disband as of March 2013. Lee Hyun Jae has been picked up and will be debuting in Japan under the group "Eden". 
Kim Min Suk- Seo Kyung Jong (keyboardist, mama's boy)
Yoo Min Kyu- Kim Ha Jin (bassist, playboy and resident hot head. Got this role by winning a reality audition show.)
Jo Bo Ah- Im Su Ah (the Muse, daughter of a businessman that goes bankrupt. Rookie actress.)
Jung Eui Chul- Yoo Seung Hoon (school shining idol and leader/keyboardist for arch rival Strawberry Fields)
Kim Jung Min- Bang Woo Kyung (faithful groupie who has a crush on Ji Hyuk)
Kim Ye Rim- Ye Rim
Kim In Seo- Yoo Hae Ri (CEO of HR Entertainment and Seung Hoon's sister)
Ma Dong Seok- Shilba/Teacher Silva (Teacher out to get the pretty boys and manager)
Kim Hyun Jun- Park Pyo Joo (Strawberry Fields bassist and resident spoiled brat)
Kwak Jung Wook- Jung Maro (Strawberry Fields guitarist)
Jung Jin An- Jo Deo Mi (Su Ah's best friend)

Whew! You got that??

The story starts off with a band called "Eye Candy" performing at an underground club. They are interrupted in the middle of their set and have to scatter in different directions in order to escape the police. This set the look and tone of these group of guys as devoted musicians trying to play their music, but because of this they are not accepted into every day society.

The guys group up later on their way to school where they are apparently once again in trouble. (Again, the whole not accepted into society bit.)  As luck would have it, the high school these guys attend is being shut down and they are told by their teacher that they will be shipped off to another high school. When the boys get their letters of transfer, all are relieved to find out that they will all be attending the same school, Jung Sang High.

But oh boy...when they get there, they are in for a surprise. Jung Sang is nothing like the high school they went to. It's clean, dignified and prestigious looking inside and out. It looked more like a "resort" than a school as one of the members pointed out.

The boys try to fit in, but being that they are a little rough around the edges, of course they don't. They clash with the administration and the other students. Drawing scorn and pity. They are called out to a Battle of the Bands (for a practice room?) by a rival group, Strawberry Fields, who is led by the school's golden boy, Yoo Seung Hoon.

As luck would have it, or rather bad luck, Byung Hee is killed after being hit by a truck late one night after being beaten by school mates. This throws Eye Candy into deep depression and it was unlikely they would continue. But what kind of story would that be if that were the ending? They managed to practice, record a demo for a competition Byung Hee had signed them up for and stood united. Unfortunately, right before the performance, Byung Hee's "muse", Im Bo Ah, runs into a bit of financial trouble and loan sharks come after her at the high school. (Her bank executive father was hiding under disgrace after going bankrupt and the loan sharks came after her since they couldn't find her dad.) Her knight in shining armor turns out to be Kwon Ji Hyuk, who takes her out of school right before the performance and thus forfeiting Eye Candy's chance at winning the Battle of the Bands. Sigh, never that easy.

Eventually, the group forgives Ji Hyuk. But the damage is done. Since Eye Candy didn't win the battle, they are once again looked down upon.

Ji Hyuk finds out that Byung Hee had entered them into a competition at a music festival and the band prepares feverishly for it.

The day of the big music competition arrives and the members are pumped that they would finally be able to perform Byung Hee's song to the world. All the members are there except for Hyun Soo, who is running late after picking up his sister and dropping her off at home. As he rushes off to the competition, he is almost struck in the crosswalk by a van who is driven by pop idol Ye Rim's manager. He hurts his hand, but picked out the glass and continued to hurry on to the competition barely making it in time. As Eye Candy took the stage, the crowd cheers and are soon in a frenzy. Just as the guitar solo begins, Ji Hyuk notices that Hyun Soo is bleeding all over the frets of his guitar. He grabs Hyun Soo in a hug to stop him and hustles him off stage before resuming the song onstage. The onlookers and judges were puzzled, but put that aside.

Again, as with the practice room, Strawberry Fields wins the competition. Impressed with Eye Candy's performance, the CEO of HR Entertainment has the idea to put a video of the group on their website along with the video of Strawberry Fields and see who fares better.

People's Choice went to....Angu Jonghwa or Eye Candy!

As a result of the numerous views online, Eye Candy's popularity grew, eventually dwarfing Strawberry Fields. And the members begin to reap the benefits of their fans new found love, they are offered a contract to produce their first single. They eventually earn the respect from their peers and the administration at Jung Sang, but of course, there were pressures that go along with fame.

As they struggled under the attention, they learned that friends will not always be on the same side. Love sometimes had to be sacrificed, but the love of music will always be something to fall back to.

Lee Hyun Jae as Drummer Jang Do Il

Infinite's L as Guitarist Lee Hyun Soo

Sung Jun as Leader Kwon Ji Hyuk

I really loved this drama. It wasn't too frilly and it showed, at times, a more serious side (dealing with death, abandonment, fighting, heart ache) than most dramas with teens. The cast was wonderful. Rookie actress Jo Bo Ah did fine in her first leading role. Sung Jun, Lee Hyun Jae and L of Infinite were definitely something to write home about. All gave varying depths of emotion to their characters showing different sides. Sung Jun as Kwon Ji Hyuk showed such aloofness and torment at times, I felt bad for him. Lee Hyun Jae's Jang Do Il showed showed that even drummers can be a lead and snag a girl at the same time. And Infinite's L showed such dark anger, he certainly played the role of "Ice Prince" well. The entire group was certainly multidimensional and showed lovable characters. (Even Yoo Min Kyu as the temper flaring Kim Ha Jin.)

This is a drama I would definitely recommend watching. For me, I am re-watching it. Yes, the guys were that good looking and the cast was that talented.

And in case you're wondering, yes, the guy did get the girl. =)

Get Ready To Get "Married"!

Or, at least watch stars live a "married life". I'm especially keen on watching how it goes with FT Island's Lee Hong Ki and Japanese actress Fujii Mina.

The first episode of the global edition of "We Got Married" premiers today. Although, I don't think you can call this global since it's only a couple of stars from Asia. But since this is the first time they're pairing up couples from outside of Korea, I guess it makes sense? Hey, these are the same guys that consider a world tour all of Asia and some of Europe.

To help promote more interest in the show, Lee Hong Ki tweeted a cute little picture (see below) of himself, Mina and a Primadonna (FT Island's official name for their fans in their fan club) wearing a yellow FT Island hoodie. (Yellow is the official color of their fan club.) He's stuck right in the middle of a tug of war, I mean pose, between the other two. Perhaps to suggest he's not only married to his fans, but now to Mina?

Anyone up for guessing what their couple name will be? We've had Brangelina (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt) and YongSeo (Jung Yong Hwa and Seohyun). How about "HongMin"??

How will the fans react? I can't wait to recap!

Shall we see how international cultures clash?

Food: Korean and Kim Chee Pancake

Hello! I still haven't really had the time to figure out the workings of tabs on Blogger, so I apologize in advance to people that will/have clicked on the "Food" tab.

But I am not going to let that stop me from posting any of my adventures in trying out and/or making of Korean cuisine. Including my first introduction to Korean food, kim chee.

I first tried out kim chee when I was about 14 years old. It was the vinegary bottled stuff that you find in the regular supermarkets. Pale cabbage cause it was sitting in the vinegary mixture for so long, faintly spicy. Not bad, but not great either.

I was later introduced to the fresher, crispier, spicier version and the much more fermented version in my college years while eating out late with friends after many study sessions. These, I absolutely came to love! There's something about biting into the saltiness and spiciness of the cabbage that woke my senses (and cleared my nostrils) and made my mouth water. Truly heaven.

Kim Chee Pancake aka Kim Chee Jeon

On one of my traipses through town, I discovered a Korean bar/restaurant that, from what I was told, served up tasty Korean dishes and flavored soju. A friend had just gotten married so while we were spending time with the bridal party, we decided to go to this restaurant. Here they served the yummiest watermelon soju and...something called "kim chee pancakes" or "kim chee jeon"! Fresh kim chee, in my favorite breakfast food, what's not to love?

Let me just say that korean pancake versus a regular buttermilk or batter pancake is way different.

Korean pancakes are:
- savory
- incorporate a meat, seafood or vegetable
- involves no butter
- no milk
- crispier
- served as an appetizer (or what we would call a "pupu" in Hawaii)

It was absolutely delicious! I wanted to know how to make it, it was just that good.

Now I've seen these pancakes cooked different ways. An ahjumma ("Aunty" or "lady" in Korean) had shown me how to cook her green onion pancake in a little nook in one of the Korean markets I frequent. It involved flour, green onion, sesame oil and egg. Very easy.

But I wanted spicy pancakes, I wanted the kim chee pancake that I had that one time! I was on a mission to find the recipe, and lo and behold, one of my favorite bloggers, Maangchi, had a very easy recipe. All it took was kim chee, a bit of kim chee juice, flour, oil for frying, chopped onion, salt and sugar.

In the fry pan with a little too much oil. Crispy!

My first attempt was a bit oily, probably because of all the oil I used, but the second attempt was much better. I was ecstatic! It tasted just like the kim chee pancake I had! I was so happy, I ate more than half of the pancakes alone, all by myself. Yup, I was a little piggy! But I was a happy piggy!

I also had a bit of pancake mix on hand, so I used that instead of the flour. I didn't add any other seasoning since it was already pre-seasoned. It was just as delicious! But I noticed that it made the pancakes a little bit fluffier and crispier.

If you ever want to try making your own, I highly recommend it. I had to pay $10 for just a little dish that I had to share. Make your own, make it the way you want it, and you can decide if you want to share it! =) The recipe is in the link above. And if you want to check out more Korean recipes, I highly suggest Maangchi's site.

Buzz Korea on Facebook

If you're a Facebooker and you love Korea, and it's culture and entertainment, the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) has a page on there that is great for little news, tidbits of information and contests.

I found out about KTO through their website and the Touch Korea campaign (a campaign that features a contest where people can enter to win a trip to Korea by doing all these little activities such as sing a song about Korea or post places you would like to go in hopes of generating further interest in their country). I kinda forgot about it until a friend of mine sent me an e-mail about their Miss Flower Music Tour a couple of weeks back. Then I noticed they have a Facebook page and went to "like" their page.

If you're looking for an extra dose of Korea in your life and if you want to hear about new contests first, I highly recommend you signing up for Facebook and finding "Buzz Korea" and "like" their page.

Song Seung Hyun In New Musical

Song Seung Hyun in Jack the Ripper

For fans in Asia, this will come as no big news since promotions have already begun. But for the rest of the world, FT Island's bassist and rapper, Song Seung Hyun, has been cast in another musical called "Summer Snow". He will be playing a lovable character named "Jin Ha". Bright, easy going, funny and quick witted. This will be the Korean re-enactment of the 2000 Japanese drama of the same name which had starred one of my favorite Japanese actors, Oguri Shun. =)

Oguri Shun

If you keep up with FT Island or Korean entertainment, you'll remember that Seung Hyun had just wrapped up performances and promotions for his first musical, Jack the Ripper, earlier this year. With performances for FT Island's Asia concert tour currently underway, Seung Hyun starting the musical in April and lead vocalist Lee Hong Ki participating in the international version of "We Got Married" also starting in April, it looks like plans for another FT Island comeback won't happen until late 2013. For now, fans like myself, will have to keep checking their Twitter accounts for any new updates!

Lee Hong Ki is Getting Married?!

FT Island's Lee Hong Ki and Japanese Actress Fujii Mina

That's the latest news folks! Don't worry, the nuptials aren't real. FT Island's lead vocalist will be getting hitched on the popular Korean show, "We Got Married". He will be part of the International version of the show as the husband to Japanese actress Fujii Mina (25 years old).

Hong Ki has once said that he doesn't care about how old a woman is, as long as she is innocent looking and "voluptuous". Oh really? Geez, he doesn't sound like a boy anymore, sounds like he's a grown man now.

The first episode kicks off the first week of April, but they will have a live press conference promoting the event on YouTube on March 28th, so be on the lookout for that.

Let's see who is better at a relationship. After watching Choi Jong Hun on the second season of the Romantic and the Idol, one could tell his dating style was earnest. (Yeah, I think that's a good word for it, so I'll leave it at that.) Even though I have watched both Lee Hong Ki and Choi Jong Hun on Mnet Scandal (a dating show where the stars were paired up with pretty "normal" women for one week), this will be the first time that one of them will be in a "relationship" for more than a few days.

If you've ever seen Hong Ki on Mnet Scandal, you would have seen that he loves to eat hot pot and to feed his women (probably cause he was always hungry, lol). He was romantic on his dates, but when he was with friends, he tended to relax and forget that he had someone by his side. (Pool games are a total distraction for him.)

Rumours have circulated, well, more said by the band members themselves, that Hong Ki is ace at dating girls. Their company is always trying to keep things hush hush about his personal life. Let's see if his sweet demeanor extends to another culture. And let's hope that she teaches him some forms of honorifics (Japanese polite speak) because fans know that Hong Ki is very casual when he speaks. (And I don't mean he's rude, just that he's Hong Ki and he happens to speak that way.) It will be very interesting!

Fans in South Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, India and Australia will be able to catch the international version on TV. The rest of the world will have to find alternate means of viewing. If I find one, I will let you all know.

NOTE: Check out my reviews on the episodes! I'll be updating this blog throughout the series!
