The last time kdramas this lit was in 2012.

I spent a lot of my time this year watching Korean dramas than reading books like I don't why I just really enjoy a lot of kdramas this year than I did for the past few years.

Don't kill me because I don't read that much books...

So, technically saying, this post is gonna be hella long. But, not that long because I have a bad habit of starting a drama and never finish it. (Don't kill me)

P.s: I don't watch Descendant of the Sun, Doctors and The Legend of the Blue Sea (DON'T KILL ME)
because DoTS aired when I had my finals, I don't support love between teacher and students so I had a hard time watching Doctors, and I don.t....want... to watch Legend of the Blue Sea...

I don't specifically have a top five but I have a top five but I'm putting them at the end.

LEGGO!

Drama this year are so good because the male characters are evolving and the fact most of them doesn't fit the stereotypical main guy in drama stereotypes makes me so happy.

This drama is technically a 2015 released but I'm gonna put it in anyway:

Splash Splash Love



Y'all this drama is only two episodes but I WANT MORE I'M SO UPSET I WANT MORE.

_____________________________

Danbi is a senior high school student taking the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). However she has an irrational fear of maths, and in order to escape taking the test travels through a time portal to the Joseon era.
_______________________________

. Even it has two episodes, I still cried, laughed and being so emo throughout it. I just love how simple the storyline it, how GOOD the writers wrote in order to be correlated with the history (This drama is a special drama for history week, well, why not the history week were longer?!)

Petition for these two to star a drama together again. Such good chemistry these two had.





Is it me or does kdramas this year involved a lot about stories on Lawyers and Doctors?

which brings to this drama that I want to talk about;

Beautiful Mind



I AM SO MAD THAT THIS DRAMA DIDN'T GET THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES (Everyone was gassing over Doctors at that time,)

I watched it firstly because I LIKE JANG HYUK (he's such a good actor) and then, this drama just sucked me in.

_______________________________

Lee Young-O (Jang Hyuk) is an excellent neurosurgeon with zero sympathy. One day, he becomes involved in bizarre patient deaths. He also falls in love and recovers his humanity.
________________________________

The medicals, the theories, the excellency of the main character are serIOUSLY INSANE. The main character doesn't have empathy and it had me shook how amazing he is.

There's one quote that I'll never forget from this drama;
"For me not having an empathy is a blessing. I don't feel sad, stress whenever I do my job as a neurosurgeon. I'm  doing a better job than most of people." - it goes something like that.

All the characters are not either good or bad, they're grey, they can be good and bad and for a person who watches kdramas for years, Beautiful Mind is refreshing to watch.

I'm pretty sure this drama have a cult following by now even it's not a famous drama. They're a lot of real life doctors who enjoyed this drama, which says a lot.





Entertainer



One word: EMOTIONAL

The first episode had me crying my eyes out.

Okay, I watched it first because I like Ji Sung (he is also a good actor) yet the storytelling, it's slow but understandable,  the challenges the character faced were sometimes so hard to watch but when you watch it, it's worth it.

_________________________________________

Suk Ho (Ji Sung) worked as a director at a major entertainment company, managing the hottest names in the music business. Due to circumstances, he branches out on his own to form his own small entertainment company. As he tries to regain his status as a successful manager to the stars, he brings together a new music band. Does Suk Ho have what it takes to make his band a success and become a big fish in a big pond?
____________________________________________


I somehow find this drama almost true to what actually happening in Korean entertainment companies. It depicts on realism and struggles of day-to-day people and as a fan of kpop, I can see what the idols I adore faced.

The OST you guys, the OST is amazing. Also, every episode would have that one scene that's gonna make you cry. So, prepare tissues.





Lucky Romance



A true story: This drama came out in June and I've been waiting for it since January. I'm selekeh, I know.

I  L O V E  Hwang Jun Eun, she's my favourite actress in dramaland. That's why I was extra hype when they announced this drama.

_______________________________

Bo-Nui (Hwang Jung-Eum) works various part-time jobs to support herself and pay her younger sister's, Bo-Ra (Kim Ji-Min), hospital bills. After two years,Bo-Ra's condition has worsened and the doctor tells Bo-Nui to give up hope for a recovery. Bo-Nui refuses to give up hope. She turns to the fortune teller for help. The fortune teller tells Bo-Nui that there's only one thing that can save her sister. Bo-Nui must have a one night stand with a man born in 1986 - the year of the tiger.
______________________________


Funny, doesn't drag, very beautiful chemistry between the actors, especially the mains, very ridiculous story-line but MADE SENSE. Funny.

I, as a person who is believer of superstitious, this drama kinda gets me in some way and the fact that it also depicts on mental illnesses, especially anxiety made me love it more.





Let's Fight Ghost



The main guy, Bong-Pal is hella cute and my intrinsic goals to be like him. He had enough allowance but spend it wisely, cooks, study, a good study. Also, he can see ghost, reason for his income.

_______________________________________

Hyun-Ji  studied for most her life before she died at the age of 19. She is now a ghost and has wandered around the world for several years. Hyun-Ji then meets exorcist Park Bong-Pal. Hyun-Ji and Bong-Pal listens to various stories from ghosts and sends them to the otherworld.
_______________________________

Funny, adorable and absolutely full of fluff. A great drama to watch because how stress free it is.





Shopping King Louis



FLUFF. FLUFF. FLUFF.

I admit, Seo In Guk was ADORABLE in this drama.
The main guy is so simple minded you can't believe how simple minded he is sometimes which is hilarious and also cute.

_____________________________________

Louis is from a rich family, but he has lost his memory. Ko Bok-Sil is a woman with a heart like an angel. Louis learns about true love after meeting Ko Bok-Sil.
_______________________________________

And, I learnt a lot on shopping from this show.
Also, stress free but you kinda feel sad for the main girl.





Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo



I  L O V E  THIS.
Simple, a very passionate story of chasing your dreams.
Can we all agree that Joon Hyun is boyfriend GOALS, friend GOALS and SOULMATE GOALS?

______________________________

Kim Bok-Joo is a promising collegiate female weightlifter. She has a bright personality and strong sense of justice. Kim Bok-Joo and her friends on the female weightlifting team are not popular with the guys and they don't have boyfriends.
_______________________________

Can we all appreciate how good Lee Sung Kyung of an actress she is (the main girl). Her as Bok Joo is so tough, sweet and simple minded in this drama. Remember her in Cheese in The Trap? agfhdakkaksdja





SCARLET HEART



I watched the Chinese version when I was a kid, but I couldn't stand it.
DEPRESSED GILA SIAL CERITA NI.

________________________________________

When a total eclipse of the sun takes place, Hae-Soo travels back in time to the Goryeo era. There, she falls in love with Wang So who makes other people tremble with fear.
_________________________________________

Wang Wok is my favourite and the writer did him dirty I AM SO SAD and Wang So, oh my godDDD.

I don't need to say much, this drama was so overhype the fandom is heartbroken now.




Okay, now, so bare with me.


AMNI'S FAVOURITE KDRAMA OF 2016

Yes, I'm waiting for Hwarang yes, I already have favourites and boi LET ME TELL YOU.

On no.5, It's

Cinderella and Four Knights



I've watched the Taiwanese version as a kid (I was like 12?) but I stopped midway because the Taiwanese version, the main girl was damn irritating my 12 year old ass couldn't stand it.

But the THIS VERSION. Park So Dam also one of my favourite actress right now (she's in Beautiful Mind and I found her very pretty in Because it is The First Time so I am a fan.)

Contrary to the Taiwanese version, this one is much much MUCH MUCH better and made sense.
Simple story, all the guys in this show are  great characters and funny. The dialog between them are amusing and very addicting to actually watch repeatedly.

7.5/10

Can we all,
SECRETARY LEE!!
HE IS MY BAE.




No.4

Cheese in The Trap.



This drama. THIS. DRAMA.
*Deep breaths*

This drama was announced on October 2015 and I've WAITED for three months for the first episode and God Almighty, what a great drama it is *forgets about the last two episodes because it doesn't exist in my dictionary*

I was pumped as hell because I wanted a kdrama centered around people my age (college kids) and this drama came into my life.

I've only read a few chapters on the webtoon it based on because I was hype.

Things I love:
a) Centers around college kids
b) It's relatable
c) The MAIN GUY. THE. MAIN. GUY.

The main lead, Yoo Jung is one of the most well written, complex character I've watch in a drama. He would be in Slytherin if he was in Hogwarts.

A lot of people like the second lead pfttttt nOT ME.
I get it that a lot of drama viewers found Yoo Jung creepy but I didn't. Park Hae Jin as an actor brought the character Yoo Jung to life for me.

Also, Kim Go Eun (also, one of my favourites), as Seol is AMAZING.
Actually, this drama would be in my top three if the WRITERS DIDN'T SCREW IT UP.

Still a great drama to watch.
8/10


 Beautiful Gong-Shim


OHHHHH MY GOSSSHHHH.
Thinking about this drama already made me giggle. Ahn Dan Tae effect.

Hella funny. This drama is so funny it made my heart hurts on how funny it is.
Also, D A N  T A E.

I mean he's not my type but after watching this, Dan Tae is kinda my type, despite his awful fashion sense. He and Gong Shim are like ultimate couple yang sememeh goals. So funny that I'm happy.

Beautiful Gong Shim definitely have a very special place in my heart, I literally watching every episode at least two times.





2) SIGNAL



I didn't hype this show in social medias because I marathon it at midnight and finished it the next morning.

Amni Suhana memang sucker for cop shows since 97. Gerak Khas, NCIS, CSI, Law & Order, Documentaries, you name it. Amni sudah nonton.

So, if you show me a cop show that plays with time, a cop show about a boy who's trying to solve a murder case that he witnessed by growing up to be a cop, would make Amni Suhana turned cray and watching it right away because she's crazy.

This show: A+

The storyline, the settings, the characters; ASTONISHING.
Favourite episode: 5
Favourite case: in episode 5


Level how lowkey Amni obsessed with this show: Highkey.

I don't have anything to say only just I'm blessed this show exists. I WANT MORE.






1) G O B L I N




Kesah pulak aku cerita ni tak habis lagi. NI TETAP NO.1 AKU.

When this drama announced on November, I turned crazy and spent my days waiting.

Aside from cop shows, Amni Suhana also enjoys  learning about Gothic creatures. So when Goblin, a story about a cursed Goblin who's trying to find his bride in order to end his immortal life, Amni's heart died in joy. The drama also have stellar casts, starring Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wok and Kim Go Eun, Amni, turned crazy.

I'm so excited for this drama I literally keep thinking about it each time weekend is near, I think this drama at work, during writing this, each time of the day, I'm thinking about this drama because I'm honestly really in love with it and I hope it has a reasonable ending and doesn't end up like Cheese in the Trap. (TvN, I see you).






Welp, I guess. That's it.

I hope I'm not this dense next year. I need to read more books and do art more often than watching dramas but this year's dramas are all outstanding I just can't

BYE BYE



- AMNI

Heyyy. Haiiii. Helloooo.

Yeah, I know I've been DEAD for the past few months on this website but I HAVE a reason though:

I was (maybe still is) suffered from writer's block.

I really didn't know what to write. If I had an idea, I completely dismissed them because some of the drafts I wrote would probably get me kill if I post it. 

Just a quick thought: *whispers* I was planning to write this post (The topic: Degree Life) after I finish my finals but I just CAN'T-!

The week stresses me out and bored me out sO much I feel like I would die doing nothing. (unless it related to school aka stuDYING) 

I feel so Drained...

It is not like I feel like this just recently. I feel drained since I started my first semester, first year of my degree life.


Before I even started this semester, my landlord called me and told us to move to upper floor. I was a at home and she didn't even called my housemates.

So, a week and a half before I start my orientation, I drove back and forth from my house to my uni condo to move my stuff along with our kitchen cabinets, tv and I had to install a wifi under my name.

Mind you, I just got my license that time (after many times of failure, another time, I'll tell), so obviously I was freaking the hell out driving because a) My uni is in KL b) Have you see Malaysian drivers c) B*bi no parking. d) PETROL

And then, came the orientation, It was the whole day and I was so exhausted from moving and I had to go because maybe there was something important happening.

It was so awkward.

My friend and I was the only two person in our batch (I think) that took a break before starting our degree. So, there were only us, no other friends there, some of our friends were facilitators, so it was awkward.

And we were surrounded by new kids,

and the most time that the orientation consumed, was for the new kids so for like seven hours, it was a long, boring lectures that we had already heard. 

I don't know if it's just me, I feel mentally exhausted that for the first month of the semester, I barely did anything except waking up for class.

I also woke up super ate like three/four hours before class and imagine all the fajr that I missed made me resilient and demotivated.

Life and responsibility attacked me so frequently this semester.



Kageyama: Me. Volleyball: Life

Okay maybe, it is a very pressured semester because it is a short semester. We have to fasten all our activities for our works and while aiming for good grades.

I admit I'm the type of person who's aware of inferiority. I know what I suck at, I'm my bad habits and I know I'm a cautions freak I am. But I'm where I stand. But with my inferiority plus my irregular silent competitive nature, my insecurities just blew up.

1) I'm the youngest one amongst my classmates. Although, I never feel like I'm the youngest around them, I still feel like I lack confidence. Because they're older than me, I lack of life experiences compared to them.

2)  One class for this semester includes a lot, I mean A LOT of class participation. Which was exhausting. I'm grateful to expressed my opinions and my works but if its too much, it would exhaust me mentality. Sometimes, I don't feel like talking, per-say. Because if I want to talk, I would super enthusiastic and never stop talking and when I don't want to talk, I couldn't think of a word and that making me spurted some jumbled up doesn't make sense crap.

Does my depression at starting to come back? Well, in a sense yeah, but, I don't feel like it getting worst. I'm better at taking care of it now, the older I get.

Is my anxiety try to attack me? Nah. Compared to my foundation self, I'm pretty chill now.

I. AM. JUST. SUPER. DEMOTIVATED.
That's it.



My negative ass needs to get a grip and stop trying to fit the Capricorn stereotype of being stuck-up, boring, cynical little human.

*sips Chatime milk tea*

Now, it's already finals' month and after that I'm going to experience working and I either gotta end up being motivated or not.

The things is, this is my mentality. I kept thinking of being demotivated and tired that's why I'm don't feel enough for this past few months.

Growing up equals to more responsibilities coming. Equals to a lot of mental breakdowns moments, equals to you need to keep up and push yourself because no one gonna do it for you (even your mom).

Happy thoughts, guys. Happy thoughts.

To be honest, I don't know and want to write more.

So, bye bye~

-Amni.

Inspired by a Buzzfeed's video;

 and myself, as an overly dramatic full of love for fictional characters human being,

I present you

People that awaken my sexuality!~

 (sounds a little kinky, but, for God's sake I'm in my legal age now)

I'm the most sexual het-asexual I know to be honest.

Sometimes, I'm like 'Yess!! Hot People!!!' But at the same time I'm like 'No!!! Hot People!!'

I like looking at beautiful people.... aesthetically.

Like, 'heck yes they're hot I would pat them on the head and be friends' but also 'don'T LIKE ME! 

I rather be single until I die kinda way.'

Yet, of course,

I cannot deny that there are a lot of people that are on fire and have a really great personality.

So, wanna see my childhood crushes?

LEGGO!

MATT DALLAS in Kyle XY

He is my first celebrity crush. I was nine.

I don't know why, I really tend to find guys really attractive when they have green eyes. 

KYLE XY was my shit.

He made me literally considered wanting to skip my tuition classes on Wednesday nights just because I wanted to see his face.

He is so quirky on the show. He was not human, not an alien but a clone. The first episode he is butt naked running around town. He's quiet, all his quotes are amazing, he's a genius and HIS BED IS A BATHTUB.

Look at his cuTE TEDDYBEAR smile aaaAAAAHHHH :3 

PRINCE PHILIP from The Sleeping Beauty

Truthfully, I like him more than any other Disney's princes because Sleeping Beauty is my favourite Disney's movie.

Prince Philips is charismatic (I mean, he wooed Aurora while singing with her), he is adventurous, and he cAN SING!!! I started to like him when he fought with the dragon. Like, HE FOUGHT A DRAGON!! Plus, he looks so helpless that his hair flops every where, I was into it okayyy.

GENERAL LI SHANG from Mulan

I'LL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOUUUUUUU!

Li Shang is the reason why I tend to fall in love with characters who are not in a royal family. Generals or second in commands. 

He's the kind of character that you'll ignore when you were a kid BUT as you get older...

He just grow on you....

It's like; 

5 year old me: "MULANNN!!! Screw Li Shang. Annoying shit!!

14 Year old me: Holy shit.... Li Shang is hot??? What??? I'm confused?

Li Shang is very driven, brave, sometimes really awkward but doesn't admit it.

And compared to all the disney's guys, we can ACTUALLY see his personality and his attitude, he actually talk more than any other princes in Disney's princesses movies.

KING DOMINICK from Barbie: Princess and Pauper

Praise the lord, because he's SO beautiful (Why is he not real???)

I was rewatching Barbie movies this evening and I would never skip Princess and The Pauper when I'm marathoning Barbie movies because favourite and you know what it got me?

My heart felt like an arrow hit it...RIGHT IN THE FEELS.

I didn't like Julian because my sister's called dips on him so I chose Dominick.

We were (my sister and I) so obsessed with this version of Barbie we remembered all the lyrics to all the songs, man.

Dominick is not a prince, he's a KING! A KING! Who loves music and Erika (oooooooh my god I ship them before I knew what shipping means). He's little tipsy bit awkward, but, he's honest, if he likes something/someone he never afraid to admit it.

GOD, HIS VOICE. HIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE.

I was having goose-bumps when I heard he sang at seven and now nineteen, he still gives me goose-bumps.

Bonus: He's man who good dark hair and blue eyes. What does that means?

A.T.T.R.A.C.T.I.V.E

ALFIE ENOCH in Harry Potter

YES FREAKING DEAN THOMAS!!!

100000 points for Gryffindor!

Siruis Black is my favourite character since childhood but I always think that Alfie Enoch was cute and now, he already grew up, he's just

made me complementing my life.

He grow up like a fine wine. I should've watch HTGAWM by now but I have so many shows to watch and I don't want to start a new one u____u

TAKASHI MORINOZUKA from Ouran High School Host Club

The definition of 'Cool, calm, collected, tall, dark and handsome' anime character.

I was so into him and I am still into him now I just- ARGH! 

Takashi is talented, smart, mysterious, he's basically my type.

Yeah fine, Honey is cute, Kyoya is charismatic, the twins are fun and adorable and Tamaki is the prince charming but none of them can compared to my Takashi.

We didn't get to know about him in the anime but when you read the manga...

I was so, so in love with him and it stresses me more when I found out that the mangaka wanted Haruhi to ended up with Takashi at first. I was rooting at team Tamaki because he is my second favourite but finding that out ruined me.

BENNY from My Babysitter is a Vampire

Leo Valdez (my smol) reminded me so much of Benny.

Me and my best friend LOVED this show. I called dips on Benny lol. We would watch in and then talked about it the next day at school.

Benny is cute, energetic, fun and he's A WIZARD!!

He also has the best lines on the show.

And more importantly, he has humour.

I was really sad when this show got cancelled.

 SYAORAN from Tsubasa Chronicles

Why everytime I need to see him I have to go to tuition class???

This show started on Sunday afternoon, my class ended at afternoon. Ugh.

Syaoran was a fresh start for me. I was very picky on watching anime. I really like anime that have my taste of nice art, and Tsubasa was aired that time. Also, the anime was unique and different at that time.

Again, I ship Syaoran and Sakura SO HARD (I didn't know what shipping meant)

I actually never finish watching this show, I never know if they end up together or not.

I like to keep it that way.

STEFAN SALVATORE from The Vampire Diaries

My last childhood crush until I became a teenager. 

I still love him until now actually.

I still watch Vampire Diaries (Even wHEN THEY KILLED KAI PARKER OFF)

Stefan is kind, soft, loving, smol, cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure, he loves so hard and so deep. He has a beautiful name!!!

Vampire Diaries started of soooo good and then the script writing turned to shit (especially after season three) Season 6 was amazing until they killed that guy.

This show threw me off so much because I feel like they start to neglected Stefan's character so much. I still haven't started the latest season yet. Yet, I will eventually watch it because STEFAN.

Protect Stefan Salvatore at all costs. Don't ever let his smile disappears. Protect my son.

That's it. 

It still surprise me how I remembered these people. Maybe, I'm kind of a person who loves too deep. I don't know.

What's your childhood crushes? What celeb/fictional characters sparked you sexual awakening.

Do tell me!

Bye~

- Amni

Guys, I FINALLY published it.

I've been working this story for months now, I just REALLY hope you guys can check it out, it means so much to me.

SYNOPSIS:

  There's always the saying that; 

"Quiet girls are always the interesting ones..."

And Hunter is very curious about the quiet Haru...

***

    Hunter Ian Laskov is the heir of his family's Bratva (Russian gangster). Like his father, and his father's father, Hunter is brave, a talented fighter, and reliable. Yet, unlike his father, or his father's father, Hunter is loving, cruel yet sympathetic, and reckless. Also, annoyingly loud. 

    When he is asked to marry a girl by his father, his answer was a simple yes. No questions, never was. But not to an heir, nor a rich girl, but a girl that lives a very mundane life. A simple girl that is driving him insane, actually. With awkward silences and excuses not sleeping on the same bed or even talk to him by bury her face in books, or sketch books.

    Can a man who is like the sun, fiery, notorious and dangerous, and a woman who is like the moon, quiet, calm, and cold, will ever get along?

    Still, Hunter and his bride better have each other's backs before they both get bury six feet under. Because being the gang lord and his reluctant wife cost a price. 

    Past tragedies and new enemies are coming, and they want to swallow them both.

Why I did I write a marriage story?

Well, for once I actually want this to be more mature, in terms of relationship building if you don't love someone, and professional in my side.

The characters are no doubt based on some people I know, but mostly the main characters are both mostly from me. The girl from my brain, the boy is from my heart.

I sincerely hope it did well.

Please check it out!
