Obsessed With Running Man ~ 런닝맨 !!!

Hey everyone, long time to see! Sorry, I’ve been incredibly busy lately so I didn’t have time to post anything on here lately, BUT I am back for now so I am going to update you guys with a few posts…

First and foremost, I have developed a new addiction to this show called Running Man (런닝맨) ! It’s a South Korean variety show, and even if you aren’t Korean, I’m sure you would enjoy it, it’s been subbed in a multitude of languages so everyone can watch.

Now I know it isn’t new, in fact it came out around 4 years ago I believe… nonetheless I don’t think it became as crazy popular as it is now until about a year or two ago.

For those of you who don’t know, Running Man is a South Korean variety show in which The MCs/hosts and guests complete missions in various landmarks, and or play a series of games to win the race.

The ratings of the show are really high, and I can understand why now; it is unbelievably funny and entertaining. The way the editors edit the show is amazing, I give them props, it must be hard to sort through all the footage they get from all the different angles to capture everyone in the cast.

I don’t know why I didn’t give it a chance sooner, I always saw articles or pictures about it , but since I never knew what it was about, it didn’t interest me. Until, this past spring break when I had caught up on all of my favorite TV shows and guilty pleasures, I decided to try something new to fill the void. And since I am someone who watches live TV music shows, Kdramas and variety equally - I decided to finally give Running Man a try. I actually started from episode 40 because it had my biases from 2PM (Taecyeon and Nichkhun) in it. 

The rest is history. That episode alone was enough to get me hooked. I didn’t know just how amazing the actual games they played in the show were. And my description alone isn’t doing it justice, you have to watch it to see what I mean!

I have to admit, at first I began skipping around episodes to see all of my favorite Korean celebrities and singers guest star.

Like Girls’ Generation:

Big Bang: 

Or just a whole bunch of members from other groups I love...

some featured below - (B2ST, T-ARA 2PM, CNBLUE, Super Junior, ZE:A, MBLAQ):

But now, I’ve actually come to fall in love with the Running Man cast and family itself.

I’m in love with Monday Couple (Gary and Ji Hyo):

I love Commander Jong Kook (Kim Jong Kook); the way he is always strategizing, and scaring the cast members is hilarious.

And Grasshopper Yooruce Willis (Yoo Jae-Suk) is an amazing host, and a surprisingly great runner himself.

Let's not forget the Betrayers Club: Betrayal Icon Lee Kwang-soo (aka Giraffe) Big Nose Suk-jin and Playboy and Original Schemer Ha-Ha (aka Haroro) 

All of the dynamics within the family makes it hard NOT to fall in love with them. From the couple making to the games and chases, Running Man is all around amazing, and I just thought I’d share this with you so some of you guys can experience the Running Man obsession with me!

I know this was a super long post, but the show is just THAT good. If some of you are already fans of Running Man I’d love to know your favorite pairings or episodes in the comments below! It’s been about a week and I’m thirty episodes in ~ Hopefully I’ll catch up with them all within a few months ^^  

런닝맨 화이팅 !!!

Take care,

Is Kate Cassidy (Laurel Lance from Arrow) Getting too thin?

Hello everyone, now I know it’s been a while since I’ve made a post… So I thought that this week I’d share some thoughts I had on one of the characters from the show Arrow

If you don’t watch Arrow, no fret, you can still read this post because it isn’t actually about the plot of the show (I plan to write that post sometime in the near future).

One of the characters portrayed by actress Kate Cassidy seems to be getting too thin lately… I don’t know if it’s just me who has noticed it, but ever since the second season started it seems to get progressively more noticible. I tried to find a relatively old, and new pic to try and show the difference.

I’m not going to write words like anorexia or bulimia or anything like that because I am neither implying any mental or physical illness, nor saying that she is getting TOO thin… I know as people age their faces can change, or if work load gets excessive you can shed a few pounds.

The thing is, that even if she did shed a few pounds and that is why her face seems more pointed and elongated, her neck looks soooo emaciated to me compared to before, and since arrow is my guilty pleasure show and she is a main character, it does feel kind of hard to watch some times because the difference is so striking…

(now)

I love Kate Cassidy, she was my favorite character in Monte Carlo and I think she is beautiful, so long as she is healthy that is all that matters.

I just thought I’d share since I haven’t seen many other people commenting on it, so I was wondering if it’s maybe just me that cares or noticed…

A new (and belated) fashion post should be up tomorrow :D!

Take care!

Pretty Little Liars : Season 4B episodes 14 & 15 Review

Hello everyone!

So I have been kind of behind on my PLL (Pretty Little Liars) lately, but since we have a wonderful long weekend this week, it has given me a chance to catch up on the last week's and this week's episodes.

I could go into an excruciatingly long review of all the things I liked and disliked about the shows return, but rather, I've decided to break down everything that's happened into 10 major points with my commentary underneath. 

1. Haleb Breakup

I don't know if it's just me, but Haleb was one of my FAVORITE couples on the show. They have also been the most consistent - as in no break ups (Ezria) or no temporary dips into the dark side (Spoby) - and I feel like even though I understand that their breakup was necessary for Caleb to go back to Ravenswood (which I haven't watched since episode 3 - so idk if he's fallen for Miranda or not) the way it was handled was so sloppy. Not nearly as clean, or sweet as it could have/should have been. I don't know, there is so much more I could say, but they would all add up to me just being unhappy with the way their break up went down. R.I.P Haleb </3

2. Ezra Creepiness

Alright, I know I shouldn't be saying this but Ezra will always have this edge of hotness no matter what he does, at least in my book ;) That being said, I can't deny or ignore the fact that he went from MAJORLY attractive, to MAJORLY creepy (but still attractive) in the last two eps. I mean sneaking into Hanna's room, looking through her purse?!! That's a big no-no Mr. Fitz. I have to give props to Ian Harding, he's giving Ezra a major 180 degree flip in terms of acting, it's like we can see the crazy emanating from his eyes. Still don't know whether or not I believe he is 100% crazy or evil yet. Mona is onto something though, then again, she always is. I forget how smart she really is sometimes. I was surprised Ezra managed to maintain his ground when she was suggesting he might be hiding something. I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed the uncomfortable look on her face as she shuffled away once he retaliated. (Mona intimidated?! Guess Ezra is even more dark than we feared...) 

3. Spoby 

I'm pleased Spoby is getting a lot more screen time this season (with Toby disappearing a while towards the end of last season for reasons I can't remember)  There is some serious shade going on with the Hasting and DiLaurentis families. Glad Spencer decided to split and live with Toby. I hope he can get to the bottom of what happened to his mom, I had seeing him all sad, I miss bada$$ Toby.

4. Travis

Kinda cute, not as cute as Caleb, but we shall see if his relationship with Hanna can blossom into something to fill the void Haleb left behind...

5. Hanna got brains

On the topic of Hanna once more, she seriously either got smarter this season or has been smart this whole time and was just playing dumb. Nah, I doubt she could've been playing dumb - what would this show do without the classic Hanna lines. But it terms of character development she has shown the most. I'm pleased with her sudden forcefullness in thinking and producing theories... though her temporary fling with Mike was an unexpected and random surprise.

6. Emily & Aria Issues

I'd have to say that the two characters I'm least pleased with at the moment are Aria and Emily. Emily needs to get her feelings in check and get over this love / hate confusion she has for Allison, it's causing her to not think straight. Also, I don't blame Aria for not seeing into Ezra's creepy new demeanor but she is two timing my boy Jake, and that is not cool. I like Jake and can't wait for him to make his return, he is smart and I hope he can help Aria out.

7. Mama DiLaurentis

Shade alert. She is not alright, something is seriously off about this woman, but I guess we have to wait and see what it is.

8. Where's Mike?

Kind of random... but did they ever explain where Mike went? He just up and disappeared. I guess since he isn't really relevant to the show at the moment they don't need him. But I hope he makes a cameo or two this season - he's cute ;)

9. Allison

She is hella good at hiding, that's all I'm gonna say... *sigh* if she was or is afraid of Ezra, I don't see what could be SO bad about him, or what he could have over her that is so big, that she couldn't get some non-corrupt police officers to handle...

10. CeCe

I feel like we are going to see her name on the news headlines soon, for either being caught or dead. I dont mind either way, I feel like she wont give up any useful info if they catch her alive, so I don't mind her being dead. :p #heartless

Well, that's all I've got to say about these past two eps, all in all, I am sort of dying to know what happens, sort of not. I miss Jake and creepy Ezra has to tow down the creepy... (still cute tho ;P) Can't wait till Tuesday!

Let me know what you think down below!

Take care,
