Bapmokja

Two weeks ago I've finally finished Reply 1988. Yesss, it's another K-drama hahaha please bear with me.

I'm not gonna post a long post about it because lol it takes a lot of time. Besides, this drama is extraordinary since one episode took 1.5 to 2 hours and it has 20 episodes in total. That's 30 hours traded off for watching this, lol. Btw, please find the summary of this drama by yourself because I'm too lazy for it haha.

After a hard struggle since my schedule was so mesmerizing weeks ago, finally I managed to start a proper college life by finishing the drama. No more bounds attached! (?)

One thing that stands out about this drama is that it really improved my Korean languange to... additional 4 Korean phrases! Haha damn so pathetic but whatever. Also, my friend said that this drama really makes you fall in love with the characters, indeed it does. I so love the characters, not only the main characters but also the supporting characters. Please note that this drama tells you about 5 families so there are a lot of characters yet I still found myself attached to each of them.

I cried a lot because the storylines were so heartwarming, it was sad but also told you something you (at least, I) can relate with everyday's life. I felt happy when the characters felt happy, I felt sad when they did. All because those things that makes them emotional actually happened at some points in my own life. And it didn't even matter to me who gets the main girl because I love all of the guys! This drama is so nostalgic. Even if I was born in the 90s, I can tell that this drama really brings back memories to those who feel 1988. I also could finally see how pager works after years reading about pager in Detective Conan without knowing :') When the drama ends, I felt so sad because that scene really pictured to me reasons why I super-hate farewell!!!!!!!

I don't quite know about myself but there are things that I'm sure of about me, one of them is that I hate conflicts (other than farewell). I love Pinocchio but when I rewatched it, I skipped the part when the bad guys were so bad that I'm overwhelmed with that uneasy tense (?) But guys, after some episodes I realize that... THIS DRAMA HAS NO ANTAGONISTS! No bad guys! :') The problem sources for the characters are purely external. Even if there are bad guys, trust me that the whole drama isn't talking about the bad guys. Problems come and go like it does in real life. I also didn't get that uneasy feeling!

The title from this post is actually on of the four phrases I learned! The five of our characters were watching TV and mothers were yelling, "bapmokja!" that very scene started and ended my very pleasant experience with Reply. It started with a yawn but ended with tearzz (and some heavy-stalking on the actors' instagram accounts).

I'm sorry for any grammatical error but whatever. Annyeong!

Angry Mom!

Angry Mom

Park No-ah

Oh Ah Ran

Jo Kang Ja / Jo Bang Wool

Di Wikipedia,

Jo Kang-ja was once legendary for being the toughest, most feared troublemaker at her Busan high school. When she gets pregnant in her late teens, she drops out of school and tries to become a responsible mother to her daughter, Oh Ah-ran. Fast-forward to the present, and Kang-ja is now in her thirties and Ah-ran is a teenager. The two have a contentious relationship, with Ah-ran ashamed of her quick-tempered, foul-mouthed, sashimi knife-wielding mother for the latter's unrefined ajumma manners. When Ah-ran befriends the class outcast, it makes her the target of the school bullies who make her life hell; yet she's too proud to tell her mother what's happening. When Kang-ja finds out that her daughter is getting bullied, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Unbeknownst to Ah-ran, she enrolls in her daughter's high school as an undercover student with the false name "Jo Bang-wool" to teach those bullies a lesson. But, she learns that there are bigger, darker problems within the educational system, and Kang-ja makes it her mission to put a stop to the school violence, with the help of Ah-ran and naive, idealistic homeroom teacher Park No-ah.

Menarik kan plotnya?! Gue penasaran aja pas pertama kali, waduh gimana ini ibu-ibu nyamar jadi anak sekolah woww *excited* Kemudian gue coba nonton episode pertamanya... HAHAHA LUCU BANGET! Entah mood gue sedang baik atau gimana, tapi 20 menit pertama episode pilotnya sukses bikin gue ketawa. Akhirnya niat gue udah bulat deh, gue akan download semua serinya! Ini adalah seri drama pertama yang gue download sendiri, btw.

Plot cerita ini menarik bangeett dan biarpun banyak hal baru yang ditawarkan setiap episodenya, tapi gue rasa drama ini selalu gak kehabisan ide. Plotnya berjalan cepat tapi juga padat. Kayaknya inilah drama sesungguhnya deh (?) Banyak juga sih adegan yang gue rasa terlalu menegangkan sampai pengen gue skip, tapi ya tetep seru aja. Apalagi banyak banget yang lucu dari drama ini!

I screenshot some (MANY, I mean) scenes which I found interesting.

Hong Sang-Tae's glasses is... lensless. :') "Korean" 

LOL abis liat dia kucek-kucek mata kayak gini hahahaha!

Han Gong-Joo's hilarious speech HAHA

speechless gue wakakakak bisabisa

Gwaenchanha!

While waiting for my suuuuuperlong holiday to end, I watch like, lots of Korean dramas. Hahaha! #noshame

Well, actually only three Korean dramas:

It's Okay That's Love

Gue cukup yakin pernah liat poster ini di bus selagi gue berdiri di halte transjakarta Jatinegara.. hmm..

Dari awal gue mulai nanya ke temen-temen gue drama Korea apa aja yang mereka rekomendasikan, judul drama ini hampir pasti selalu ada. Gue jadi kepo banget kan, ih sebagus apa sih dramanya? Akhirnya kesempatan untuk menonton drama itu ada juga.

20 Hours (Not) Wasted!

Setelah perjuangan selama kira-kira 2 minggu yang penuh tawa dan air mata haru, 20 x 1 jam mengorbankan waktu gue, akhirnya semua itu harus berakhir kemarin. Gue berhasil namatin Pinocchio. :’)

Gue ngerasa hampa banget kayak ada yang ilang gara-gara sekarang udah ngga ada yang bisa ditonton lagi, udah ngga ada yang bisa ditungguin lagi. Gue udah gak punya alasan untuk ngerasa excited begitu pulang ke rumah lagi, udah ngga ada lagi yang bikin penasaran di hati huhuhu. Jadi gue memutuskan untuk menuangkan pikiran dan perasaan gue (haha) ke dalam postingan kali ini.

Menurut gue ini drama yang bagus buangeett!!! Gue bener-bener ngerasa bersyukur karena sempet nonton drama sebagus ini. Dan meskipun mungkin suatu hari nanti bakal ada drama lain yang lebih bagus lagi, gue gak akan pernah ngapus file Pinocchio (yha, meskipun semuanya nyampe 20 GB kok….). Gue cocok abis sama plot utama ceritanya dan menurut gue jalan ceritanya menarik banget. Apalagi bener kata temen gue, makin lama Dal Po makin enak diliat eaaa hahaha.

"Astaga Dal Po tampan sekali!" Hahaha

Pinocchio

Kayaknya gue bisa gila deh kalo nonton drama Korea mulu. Bagus-bagus banget sumpaahhh :(

Jadi kali ini gue akan bercerita mengenai drama Korea terkini yang gue tonton, dan emang baru tamat 15 Januari kemarin. Gue sendiri baru nonton sampe episode 15.

피노키오! Daebak~ *abaikan demi*

Pertama kali gue tau Pinocchio adalah ketika gue... *uhuk* nonton sebuah acara Kpop *uhuk* (iseng doang) di TV. Ada mvclip Pinocchio disana dan ada Park Shin Hye nya! Antena gue udah mulai tinggi tuh, duh pasti drama baru deh nih. Sayangnya waktu itu gue abis nonton The Heirs dan rada menyesal sih :') kayak, bikin penasaran tapi bikin kesel juga. Jadi untuk beberapa waktu gue sempet sensi gitu sama si Park Shin Hye abisnya dia cengeng abis gitu kan, hahaha sok kenal abis w.

Nah, ini scene-nya!

Gue juga mikir, gile ini cowoknya jelek banget. Langsung deh gue kaya maleees banget nonton gitu. Apalagi kayak di-shootnya di pedesaan gitu ga demen aja gue. Tapi ga disangka ternyata malam itu temen gue chat gue dan dia bilang dia lagi nonton Pinocchio! OMG what kind of fate is this. Terus dia bilang bagus bangeet, tapi gue tetep keukeuh kalo gue gamau lagi nonton yang ada parkshinhye2an dan dengan alasan klise yang sama, "Ntar deh abis UN."

Cowo Korea macam apa ini hah hah hah

Tapi beberapa hari kemudian temen gue yang lain juga bilang kalo dia lagi nonton Pinocchio dan katanya bagus. Then gue kayak ngerasa semua orang nonton dan gue kayak... demhel kasih gue filmnya!!! >:o

---

Lalu gue nonton episode pertama pada suatu hari karena gue lagi iseng aja gitu. Episode pertama menurut gue bagus bangeet, kayak gue ngerasa amazed, kesel, tapi juga gue nangis di beberapa scene flashback yang sedih banget sih menurut gue. Terus gue lanjut ke episode 2 dan parahparahparah, gue mulai tergila-gila banget dan gak bisa stop sampe sekarang :)))) bahkan hari ini gue ga nonton pun gara-gara belom punya episodenya hahahaha.

Salah satu hal yang bikin gue suka banget sama Pinocchio adalah karena dia bukan cerita seputar anak SMA. Ya gitu deh, kehidupan anak SMA kalo di drama in kayak cheesy banget ew ew geli gimana gitu ga sih hahaha lolz. Pinocchio bercerita di seputar kehidupan reporter, tapi ini gambaran yang umum banget-banget kok, baca Wikipedia sendiri ya biar tau ceritanya gimana huahahah. Tapi seperti yang udh pernah gue sampaikan, baca Wikipedia aja gak cukupp, mesti nonton! Then lo baru tau deh mantepnya gimana ini serial huft. Si cowok juga jadi gantengan semenjak rambutnya gak freak begitu uyeah. *on fire*

Wajib nonton!

Oh ya, banyak banget pemain yang main juga di Emergency Couple! Gue jadi ngerasa kayaknya artis Korea juga sama kayak kita ya di Indo, yang main itu-itu aja haha.

Tiap episode, judulnya lucu banget gitu, ngambil dari dongeng-dongeng yang ada keren banget kan. Ya meskipun gue juga gabisa menemukan korelasi antara judul dan ceritanya per episode sih, yang penting nonton aja lah :')

Lucu kan judul episodenya!

Tapi yang agak kampret adalah ketika gue ga ngerti kenapa ratingnya bisa dibilang rendah gini. Padahal kan bagus banget filmnya.. Kenapa sih orang-orang lebih suka yang cheesy-cheesy :( Biarpun gue juga suka My Love from the Star dan fyi rating mereka tinggi banget, tapi gue lebih suka ini! Tonton ya kalian!

***gapenting part***

Ini gak penting banget sih.. Tapi gue merasa mungkin karena ini tentang reporter, jadi banyak banget yang pake kacamata disini, nyamar dikit pake kacamata, dan sebagainya. Dan sialnya, kacamata korea keren banget sih :( Jadi gue screenshot deh sapatau suatu hari bisa beli whwhw.
