Velvet (2013)
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS LOVE STORY
Super LOVE this Spanish series -Velvet (2013-2016) in @netflix @netflixph Super LOVE the couple - Alberto ( Miguel Angel Silvestre @miguelangelsilvestre ) and Ana ( Paula Echevarría @pau_eche ) Paula is my favorite Spanish actress now. She is so pretty & i liked her character in the series. Miguel Angel is the cutest ever. It's the same producer as Grand Hotel ( 2011-2013) which I liked too and saw many years ago. It's a love story in a Haute couture department store in the 1950s so it will bring you back to the fashion, music of those times. One of my favorite Romance dramas!! I loved the vibe of the show - the main characters are a good combination (this is very important for me), the setting/location, the wardrobe, the acts of love - paper planes, rooftop, proposals, dance scenes - the overall feel of the story.
I feel that there were some flaws and maybe it is because they try to extend the story - i hope that they will revisit this strategy - even the Chinese and Turkish do this. In Korean they keep it to 16 episodes which sometimes seems also extended.
Season 4 was an example of this - they could have finished off in Season 3 because Season 4 Miguel Angel Silvestre came out only in the last 2 episodes so I skipped all the other 9 episodes.
There is a sequel - Velvet Collection (2017-2019) - but Ana & Alberto just joined a few episodes & its not as good as the original. The end was a movie - Velvet Collection Grand finale (2020) which i watched since it was like a reunion and Alberto & Ana were there. All are in netflix now
Yeopgijeogin geunyeo (2001)
SUPER SASSY!!
My Sassy Girl (year 2000 & made her famous ) - Highest grossing Korean comedy of all time until today!! My favorite Korean movie!!!!! Of course because my favorite actress is here - Jun Ji Hyun and super love the lead actor here - Cha Tae Hyun. ( he did a cameo in Legend of the Blue Sea) He is perfect for the part!! Hyun Hyun couple!!! I was dying of laugher as in crying of laughter! :-) I found the Korean movies I watched seemed missing - but this one ended well!!
Jun Ji Hyun is the best Korean actress ever!! She just has this aura that makes her so popular which is why she is the highest paid actress now in Korea. I idolise her not only because she is super pretty, she is a model, she is a good actress, she is intelligent, she chooses her films and tv series that is why they are all successful, and she is a successful entrepreneur - I heard she has 3 buildings which she owns. I also watched Kingdom because she came out as a cameo ( tipped by Nancy ). We are looking forward to her upcoming TV series in 2021 Mt. Jiri where she will co star with Kingdom @netflix male lead - Ju Ji Hoon ( JJH also!!! )

Super LOVE THIS!!!
Lee Min Ho in Legend of the Blue Sea (2016) ( same writer as CLOY) I like all the characters which make each of them handsome but there are some that really capture the HEART ( Hyun Bin my 1st & now my 2nd ) LMH - I love his smile, how he laughs, his charm, his sweetness especially here. Jun Ji Hyun is my favorite Korean actress and they make a great couple with Lee Min Ho!!! And finally kissing scenes!!!! very rare in kdrama! THE BEST kissing scenes so far among all the 50 kdramas I have watched. My favorite ones are the in the stairs and their goodbye
Byeol-e-seo on geu-dae (2013)
One of the best KDramas ever!
I laughed, i cried, laughed, laughed, cried, cried and laughed. Soo Hyun Kim - he even sang! Super LOVE the work of writer Park Ji Eun - same for Crash Landing on You and Legend of the Blue Sea. They are my favorites so far! I like watching every episode and they make me happy. These 3 i watched over and over again! Always hard to move on. The stories are so nice, couples are all matched well, the locations, the soundtracks ( i like listening over and over), the wardrobe - everything appeals to me. I will watch all her works!
Cesur Ve Güzel (2016)
Loved this series
Anything with Tuba Buyukustun is done in " good taste" and "good artistry." She brings an aura to the screen which no one can do! She is the key to the success! Her characters are all "GOOD" characters and I am glad she chooses her series well. She knows how to choose!
I watched this because of Tuba Buyukustun and discovered Kivanc Tatlitug!!!
Super loved Kivanc Tatlitug and Tuba Buyukustun ! Loved their characters and their love story. I love how elegantly they did the love scenes. I wish there were more horse riding scenes :-) Beautiful locations - the homes, the scenery, the restaurants, scenes by the water. etc. As usual Tuba is a style icon - loved all her outfits!!!! So elegant!!! - even if her hair is short, she styled it in so many ways - all beautiful. Loved all her sunglasses!!
She always has something new in her series - this time - tango dancing.
Kivanc is so so handsome with his blue eyes!!
Tuba is so lucky to be paired with him and Engin Akyurek - my 2 favorite Turkish actors :-)
I wish they made the side stories less complicated and more realistic.
I wish they could show this in NEXTFLIX with proper English Subtitles.
Gönülçelen (2010)
A beautiful love story expressed through Music
I watched this because I am a fan of Tuba Buyukustun. I really think that she is like Audrey Hepburn and she is like a princess :-)
I love how they always put some real life characteristics of her in her tv series like here her love and support for children as shown in the music foundation for children and I read somewhere that one of her wish is to be a singer ( IWC interview ).
I discovered Cancel Elcin who is so so so charming when he stares at her, nods his head and looks at her and smiles!!!!
I super love the main story of Gonulcelen and I wish they gave more airtime for Murat (Cancel Elcin ) and Hasret ( Tuba Buyukustun ). It started out so well with the main story then their romance, then I found the middle part too long when they were not together :-( I wish they could edit it ( and I am sure this will be a super hit ) and put it on netlfix with the correct english subtitles. - I am a fan from the Philippines :-) and I wish there were more Tuba Buyukustun shows in Netflix.
Kara Para Ask (2014)
The best Turkish TV series
I watched my first Turkish series & super loved it. it is long ( 164 episodes of 35 minutes each ) but when you reach a certain point, you won't want it to end!!! It took me 7 days only because I forwarded a lot of parts- Nulifer, Tayyar and Bahar ( but still understood the story ). After 7 days of watching, I watched it again !!!! I am on my 3rd round!! I got so attached because it was like I went on the journey with them!! Omer & Elif! I wish it were them in real life!!! I super loved their love/ romance here which is more intense and just makes you feel good. Of course there are a lot of trials but that is what keeps it exciting. It's on Netflix!
Please give this a chance - do not be afraid of the 164 episodes!
Reasons to watch:
1.) Omer ( Engin Akyurek ) is so so gorgeous, a great actor and his character here is so so nice!! The best police/cop ever!!!
2.) Elif, Tuba büyüküstün is the prettiest actress ever. She looks like a Princess and I look forward to how she will style her crowning glory ( hair ) Her outfits specially her leather jackets and her scarves. She looks like Audrey Hepburn!!!!
3.) Levent - super handsome
4.) Beautiful Mansion by the sea
5.) Pink House
6.) Kite
7.) Arda & Pelin
