Kat - The Reviewer's Introduction

Ok, so, who are you after all? 
I'm Kat, the possessor of this 'wonderful blog', a writer, dreamer, singer in bathroom, kid when it comes to candies, an incurable romantic during the night and lately, a very dedicated reviewer.
Oh, and a student! Let's not forget I'm still depending on my teachers. 선생님,잘 부탁합니다!~~

What do you review? 
Dramas. Korean dramas I really enjoy. Oh, and music albums. Of course, Korean albums.

Why only Korean dramas and music?Do we want to go there? Do we really want to get down to that topic? :))
Well, keeping the long story short, I am a k-addict, meaning I heave a sweet tooth for Korean culture, which, in this case, implies watching dramas and listening to Korean music apart from learning the language (which I do, really^^). I mostly review dramas that have a great impact on me and which make me want to start a debate over their topic, or which have characters that make me go all gaga over them :)) You know the feeling, right?

What have you reviewed till now?
In matter of music, I remember talking about Beast's last album (How to Love), SHINee's last 2 albums (Misconceptions of You & Misconceptions of Me) and G-Dragon's 'Coup D'Etat', about which I still wonder where did I get the courage to review it taking that YG artists are so popular (the review for this GD's album is on this blog if you're curious on what I had to say about it).
As for dramas, I can only talk about 'Empress Ki' as an almost reviewed-by-episode drama I watched. It started as a game, to vent my frustrations on the characters, but in the end it was more than that and I discovered I actually enjoyed writing about it in an informal way, challenging people to take part in the conversation since it was all made as statuses on my FB profile :)

Any plans to review any of the airing dramas?
To be honest, I wasn't going to watch any of those or review them. But then I started watching 'Doctor Stranger' and everything went to hell! *-* I mean, I just couldn't stop myself from fan-girling over the characters and over the plot that swept me off my feet! Just WOW! I highly recommend it to all drama lovers out there!

How do you write your reviews? Any plans you're following?
Are my reviews recaps of episodes? Well, kind of, sort of, but no. I write them to cool my head and to vent my feelings on what's happening in an episode. And since I don't assume everyone saw the episode, I try not to give spoilers on major events and mostly pick on feelings and the expressiveness of the actors and how well they make their characters come to life. So, no plans to follow, I just write whatever comes into my mind.

Lastly, do you take requests?
For music albums, I am, why not? I pretty much listen to anything that means k-pop, so yeah, feel free to ask for a review if you have on in mind^^
When it comes to dramas... well, the thing is that I'm picky when it comes to stories and actors, so it's usually hard. But if it's a good drama, without any noona-dongsaeng romantic relationships, yeah, sure, I'll give it a try!

So, this was me aka Kat and an introduction on me as a reviewer - a very briefly one :D Hope you'll enjoy my reviews and leave feedback!
Thank you!

I like

"Category B" books. They are those books selling very cheap, usually cliché and always having a happy ending. I like reading those kind of books, especially during the night. They ease my mind. They help me relax and forget that on my desk is a pile of philosophic books I really hate, but unfortunately have to read and comment.

Watching animated movies. Disney. Pixar. Anything. Anywhere. At any hour day or night. Why? Because I'm childish, because they're cute, because they usually tell in simple words or songs, what other movies struggle to tell through their entire plot. And there's always a scene or two that makes me laugh my ass off!

K-pop. That's the music of my life. Why? Because the language is like silk to my ears, because there are songs that tell my entire life in just three minutes. Because I like to anticipate a comeback, a concept, a concert. Because I like to dream about seeing a k-pop concert live someday. Because my ideal man is one of them. That's why I like k-pop. It inspires me more than nature, more than food (and trust me, I like to eat good food!).

Irish music. It's always so... fairytale-like. Always making my hands move along the rhythm, always making me wish I knew how to dance through the chorus. Because I'm an avid read and a dedicated writer and Irish music brings out the most twisted fantasy plots.

Food. I eat. I cook. I relax. I live. I get praised. That much the food holds for me.

Nail art. Simple, complicated, with characters done in brush, with stickers, with stripes, one colour, two, multicoloured... it's my passion. And no matter how much time it takes to pain one nail only, I still do it. It's fun!

And lastly, writing. It's the very essence of being - well, of being myself. Through writing I can be me, I can be who I want to be without waiting 1 year, 2 or 10. Through writing, I can show the world a vision of how I see the things around myself without being judged too much. Through writing, I live more intensely than any stuntman.
