Synopsis: Lee Min Seok, a naive, immature, and clueless high school hockey player who somehow ends up working at a company in place of his brother. He lives a double life as a student and a high positioned office worker and falls in love with a woman who is a temporary employee at that same company.

My Rating: 9/10

My Thoughts: This drama was really really REALLY good! The story, the acting, everything was amazing. And yet I felt like there was something missing. But I'll talk about that later.

Story: The story was really good! A high school student pretending to be a 27 year old office worker seems absurd but it was totally believable. The mystery surrounding Lee Min Suk's brother was very intriguing but it wasn't the main focus of the drama and was only dealt with in the few last episodes. The drama focused on Lee Min Suk and how he grew as a character. The noona romance was okay too though I wasn't that invested in it. The star of this drama for me was Lee Min Suk. I went in thinking it was going to be like City Hunter, you know a quest for revenge and everything. But this turned out to be completely different. This drama wasn't intense, it was cute and funny. I loved how they used old drama cliches and gave them a twist to make them funny or different. I especially liked that Yoo Jin Woo's story was progressed along with Lee Min Suk's and he was given his due importance too.The story was very well-written and the pace of the drama was really good.

Characters: Seo In Guk did an amazing job as Lee Min Suk (and Lee Hyung Suk). First of all, I've always acknowledged that Seo In Guk is good-looking but during this drama I realized that he is gorgeous! Especially as Lee Hyung Suk (even though he appeared for like 1-2 episodes). Secondly, Seo In Guk is an extremely talented actor! And this role showed his talent to the fullest. He played the role of a high schooler so well, unlike someone else (Lee Min Ho I'm looking at you), that it was hard to believe that in real life he is 26. Lee Min Suk was endearing and funny and adorable. But I also loved the scenes where he got all serious and mature. I loved seeing him grow from a boy into a man! Seo In Guk's portrayal of both brothers was so good you could see who was who with the way he stood and talked. While Lee Min Suk was kinda sloppy, as expected of a kid, Lee Hyung Suk stood with confidence. Where Lee Min Suk talked in a cheery way, Lee Hyung Suk's voice was grave and serious. I simply loved Seo In Guk's acting in this drama!

Jung Soo Young is a character I would rather not talk about. She was uncomfortably painful to watch. I understood her character really well and I got where the writer wanted to go with her but Lee Ha Na's portrayal of her was not good. Jung Soo Young is a character I could have loved had Lee Ha Na did her justice. Soo Young is a socially awkward girl with seemingly no talents. I get the character. It was Lee Ha Na's job to make that character relatable, even likable. But the way she played her it felt like Jung Soo Young had some mental disability. Which was really very uncomfortable for me to watch. But of course, I did get used to her and then she didn't bother me much. But I never felt connected to her. I did feel sorry for her but only a little.

I loved loved LOVED Lee Soo Hyuk as Yoo Jin Woo! I loved how this time the broken bad boy was not the male lead but the second lead. And Lee Soo Hyuk played him really well! And did I mention how gorgeous Lee Soo Hyuk is?!! Because he is really gorgeous!! I could stare at him all day! I loved his story arc and how it all played out. I loved this broken bad boy with a good heart! But I never, for one second, believed that he was actually in love with Soo Young. I felt like he needed someone and since Soo Young was previously obsessed with him he figured she would be a good person to keep by his side. I never felt like he actually, honestly loved her.

All the minor characters were great! The office people were your typical office people, gossiping and judging. They also provided very good entertainment. Team Leader Kim was very funny and so adorable! Jo Han Chul did an awesome job playing him and I loved seeing him onscreen! I loved how he cared so much about Lee Min Suk and all his anxiety breakdowns (I seem like a bad person saying I enjoyed his breakdowns but really, they were funny and added for comedic purposes). Jung Yoo Ah (Soo Young's sister) was super annoying at first but like her sister she became tolerable. I loved Lee Min Suk's friends! They were so supportive and super funny, with their chuppa chuppas and stuff! Lee Min Suk's dad was awesome! He wasn't his real dad but he cared so much for him that it was heartwarming and so beautiful. My favorite though was Min Suk's grandfather (his adoptive father's father)! Kwon Seong Deok was amazing, playing him and he was so funny and adorable and it was so heartbreaking! I really loved him! I loved how the minor characters played a more important role in this drama than they usually do in dramas.

Romance: I honestly believe Seo In Guk has good chemistry with everyone. Be it a girl or a boy, he has good chemistry with all. Just look at his previous works. He had amazing chemistry with Jung Eun Ji AND Hoya in Reply 1997. Even as a second lead he has awesome chemistry with the female leads (see Master's Sun). It was no exception in King of High School. He not only had great chemistry with Lee Ha Na but also with Lee Soo Hyuk! BUT I was not as much invested in the romance and the main couple as I would have had it not been for Lee Ha Na. The couple wasn't all that bad but they couldn't pull on the strings of my heart like the InHyun couple (Queen In Hyun's Man) & the Reply 1997 couple (Jung Eun Ji and Seo In Guk). So that 'something missing' thing I was talking about was my lack of love for the main couple.

Ending: The extra episodes really weren't needed. But I didn't mind them much. Most people are not satisfied with the ending and to be honest if I would've written this I would've ended it differently too but it wasn't that bad and I don't have much of a problem with it.

Overall: All in all this was a really good drama and most people might not have the problems with it that I did so I highly recommend it for anyone who is in the mood of a good rom-com.

Book Review~The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone by Adele Griffin

Title: The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone
Author: Adele Griffin
Publisher: Soho Teen
Pub Date: August 12th 2014
Format: ebook
Pages: 256
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Mystery, Realistic Fiction, Mental Illness
Links: Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ Book Site

Synopsis: "From the moment she burst into the downtown art scene, seventeen-year-old Addison Stone was someone to watch. Her trademark subversive street art and her violent drowning left her fans and critics craving to know more about this brilliant wild-child who shone so bright and was gone too soon." —Adele Griffin

Two-time National Book Award finalist Adele Griffin offers an ingenious fictional take on celebrity biography, as told in first person interviews through the eyes of Addison Stone's parents, friends, boyfriends, mentors, critics, and more-punctuated in full color with Addison's artwork, photographs, and emails. When it comes to Addison's untimely and mysterious death, nobody escapes unscathed.

Rating: 9/10
Source: Given by the publisher in exchange of an honest review. Thank you Meredith for having me on the tour and for giving me a chance to read this book!

My Thoughts: 

I don't think I have ever read anything like this before. This book was really good! Not my usual cup of tea but interesting and engaging nonetheless.

Story: The mystery surrounding Addison's death was very intriguing. But her story, as a person, was more interesting. I loved reading about her from the perspectives of different people who knew her. Even though they were the one telling her story, you would really feel connected to Addison. You felt her presence there and sense how she affected these people's lives and how they affected her. The story was really good and felt very real.

Writing: Incredible writing! Even though this was a novel, if I would have read it without knowing that I would have thought that Addison Stone is a real person. In fact, while reading this, I oftentimes forgot that this was fiction. The way the author wrote different perspectives was awesome! Even without reading the names you could know who was talking now. The thing I liked the best about the writing though was that you could really see the story differently through different character's eyes. While one person felt a certain way about something, the other person felt differently about the same thing and thus their accounts of that thing were different and really that's how real life is. Each of us sees things differently and that's how we remember it. That really added an element of reality to the book. Plus it was amazing how even though we get to read so little of Addison's perspective she shines through in the whole book. Her presence is always there and it is her story throughout. I especially loved the pictures and Addison's art. It made the book more personal, Addison more real.

Characters: Since this isn't your usual novel type book I don't really know what to say about the characters. Addison felt like a living breathing person, so did the other characters. They really felt like real people. Addison was one of those people who really have a presence and leave you in awe. She was also broken and I felt very sorry for her. I don't think any particular person was to blame for her death.

Overall: I found this book very unique and enjoyed it very much. I would recommend it for people who like mysteries (not the detective kind but the real-life kind) and to people who are in the mood of reading something different.

Synopsis: When Gong Chan meets the lively and beautiful Yoo Rin, he finds out that she has connections to his missing cousin, whom his grandfather has been searching for.

Gong Chan's friend, Jung Woo falls for Yoo Rin while Gong Chan's ex-girlfriend, Seo Hyun, a pro tennis player, tries to win him back. Will the two ever tell each other how they feel? Will Gong Chan ever find his real cousin?

My Rating: 9/10

My Thoughts: It's been a while since I laughed this hard while watching something. This drama did become serious towards the end but overall it was really good and I enjoyed it a lot!

Story: The story was a contract-relationship type story except this time the girl was supposed to be a cousin. Even then it did have those cliche scenes you usually see in contract-relationship dramas. They did make for some great laughs though. I loved the humor! It made me actually laugh out loud which is rare for me. So yeah, ten points for good humor. The mystery surrounding the real cousin was good too. I wasn't a big fan of the love triangle square but it didn't bother much if I focused on the main couple. The pacing was good though it did become a bit slow towards the end. Or maybe I felt that way because it the story got serious. Overall though it was an interesting and enjoyable story.

Characters: I loved Joo Yoo Rin & Seol Gong Chan! And Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook did a great job playing them! I especially loved Lee Da Hae's performance. I haven't seen her in anything before so I wasn't expecting much but she did a wonderful job! She made Yoo Rin likable, even lovable! Yoo Rin was a liar and swindler but her heart wasn't bad. And Lee Da Hae made sure everyone knew that from the start. Yoo Rin was funny and bubbly but the best thing I like about her is that she was smart! You don't see many smart girls in these type of dramas but Yoo Rin was smart and independent and Gong Chan was the innocent one.

That brings me to Gong Chan. The writer broke a lot of stereotypes with Yoo Rin's and Gong Chan's characters. Usually, in these type of dramas, the guy is controlling and rude. He doesn't respect the girl and if he starts liking her then he treats her even more badly. That wasn't the case with Gong Chan though. He was genuinely a nice person. He did care about others. Sure, he was rude to Yoo Rin sometimes but I never felt like it was too much or it was to hurt her. He was also innocent and really really cute! I've only seen Dong Wook in Roommate, which is a variety show, so I didn't know of his acting abilities. But he did a pretty good job here! His expressions were spot-on!

The other two corners of the square, Jung Woo and Se Hyun, I spent most of my time ignoring them. I felt like Jung Woo didn't respect Yoo Rin. He was always like "I'll make her be with me." "I won't let her go." and stuff like that which really made me think lowly of him. And Se Hyun was Se Hyun. Your typical, manipulative, second lead ex. So I obviously hated her. The actors who played these characters were okay. Not very good but tolerable.

Out of Gong Chan's family, I loved his aunt and uncle! But hated the grandfather! I don't know why, I just hated him. Jung Woo's mother provided some good humor with Gong Chan's aunt. Out of Yoo Rin's family, I loved her best friend and her brother! Especially the brother and his sweet little romance with Gong Chan's secretary! It was adorable! I hated her father though!

Romance: Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook have great chemistry but I enjoyed watching their friendship more than their romance. I loved their relationship! They were like best friends and I loved seeing their friendship grow. Both of them were really cute and their scenes were my favorite ones!

Overall: I really enjoyed watching this drama! Even if it is almost 9 years old, it seems new and fresh. It is very well-written and I would highly recommend it for fans of romantic comedies and fake relationship dramas!

Manga Review~Pride & Prejudice by Stacy King & Po Tse

Adapted from: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
Publisher: Udon Entertainment
Pub Date: August 12th 2014
Pages: 376
Genre: Classics, Romance, Retellings
Links: Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ Official Site

Synopsis: Beloved by millions the world over, Pride & Prejudice is delightfully transformed in this bold, new manga adaptation. All of the joy, heartache, and romance of Jane Austen's original, perfectly illuminated by the sumptuous art of manga-ka Po Tse, and faithfully adapted by Stacy E. King.

Rating: 10/10
Source: Netgalley

My Thoughts: I love Pride & Prejudice! And I love discovering things related to it! Mostly they have not disappointed me and this manga was no exception. I was weary of starting it though. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the story as a manga. I didn't know if the illustrations would do the characters justice. I needn't worry though because this adaptation was great!

The story was changed a little. Well not changed, but the minor, not-so-important stuff was removed. I was okay with that though. Other than that the story is the same as the original one.

I loved the illustration! It was so much like a manga but also kept the essence of the novel. The illustrations were very pretty and the characters were spot-on! I especially loved the little chibi drawings and manga style humor. It made me feel more like I was reading a manga and not a comic.

Overall I loved this! I enjoyed reading it very much and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys manga and is also a fan of classics. People who haven't read Pride & Prejudice or found it boring will also enjoy this one because it is a very easy and light read.

Blog Tour~The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone by Adele Griffin~From an Addison Stone Fan

Synopsis: National Book Award-finalist Adele Griffin tells the fully illustrated story of a brilliant young artist, her mysterious death, and the fandom that won't let her go.

From the moment she stepped foot in NYC, Addison Stone’s subversive street art made her someone to watch, and her violent drowning left her fans and critics craving to know more. I conducted interviews with those who knew her best—including close friends, family, teachers, mentors, art dealers, boyfriends, and critics—and retraced the tumultuous path of Addison's life. I hope I can shed new light on what really happened the night of July 28.

~FROM AN ADDISON STONE FAN~

I met Addison when I was 14. We had gone to Peacedale to visit my aunt. She was having a tough time and my mother wanted to be there for her. But the atmosphere in the house was very tense and depressing and I wanted to get out. So my brother and I went to the Peacedale movie theater to catch a movie. It was a Saturday, I think. When we came out of the theater we noticed a girl sitting on a chair with a boy by her side. "Ten bucks a drawing! Come get the best doodle of yourself you'll ever own!" She was shouting. I thought it would be cool so I dragged my brother to where she was. She looked round about my age. I handed her ten bucks and she drew me in like 10 seconds! I'm not even kidding! And the "doodle" looked so much like me, it was weird! It shouldn't even be called a doodle, it was a portrait! The weirdest part though was that she didn't draw me, she drew ME. I was going through those "everyone is out to get me" years and it was like Addison saw that. She saw all my hopes and fears and dreams. The way she drew me, it was like she knew my deepest darkest secrets. My biggest regret is losing that portrait when we moved to a new house. I searched for it like crazy but I never found it.

I knew this girl was going to be big. I never asked for her name though so I didn't know who she was. But once when I was visiting a friend in New York I came across one of her works in an art gallery. It was named "Billfold #1". As soon as I saw it, I knew in my heart that is was by her. I copied the artist's name and searched for her online. I saw her pictures, she was 18 now but she had changed very little. Her eyes were still filled with life and energy. I was happy to see she had achieved so much. I wanted to see her in person but I had to go back to Michigan at the end of that week so I could never track her down. I did follow her activities though and became obsessed with her art! Her art spoke to me like nothing else did.

The news of her death came as a blow. Even though I never knew her personally, I felt like I did know her. I knew her through her art. And I was very sad, still am, that she wouldn't make more of it. I still can't believe she is gone. And I attended her funeral too. They didn't let us go inside but I did camp out with the others. And prayed. Prayed that Addison found the peace that she never did when she was alive. Prayed for the girl who was gone too soon, her life left unfinished.

My favorite piece by her is her self portrait. It's so sad and beautiful at the same time. Just like Addison.

Pages: 316 

Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal, Romance, Fantasy, Science Fiction

Synopsis: Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something…unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon’s touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is.

Rating: 9.5/10

My Thoughts: I've been reading praises of this novel since I started book blogging. That is the reason I avoided reading this one. I mean, look at what happened with Twilight and Fifty Shades and Shiver! I didn't want that to happen again so I steered clear of this one. But then I needed something to read along with my friend. And she is a sucker for guys like Daemon. I knew she would like him since I had read about him and he was kinda like Damon (from Vampire Diaries). So I thought why not, let's give this one a try too.

So now I'm aboard the fan-wagon with all you pretty ladies fangirling over Daemon! I'm so sorry I avoided reading this book for so long!! It was awesome!! 

Story: People say the story is very much like Twilight and I kinda agree. But this one has it's individuality. I was weary at first because aliens! But the way it is executed is good and the alien story and the paranormal stuff makes sense. It has a good pacing and suspense and there is never a dull moment. The romance is really good too! I loved Daemon and Katy together! Their fights were fun to read but I loved the scenes in which they were themselves with each other and they let their guards down in front of each other. The romance was totally believable!

Writing: The writing was really very very good! It was easy and relatable and kept your attention at all times. The descriptions were easy too follow and not overly done. The dialogue was witty and natural. I loved getting into Katy's head!

Characters: The characters were well-written and real. Kat was a very relatable character for I think most book bloggers. I don't know about non-book bloggers though... I do know that my friend (who does not blog nor does she read any book blogs so she is unaware what a Waiting for Wednesday is) was unable to relate to Kat as much as I did. Kat was strong and independent. She could stand up for herself and I loved that about her! Plus she was a book blogger and her sentiments about things relating to that were very much like mine. I loved her witty comebacks and I loved how she was genuinely a nice and kind person. 

Daemon, oh Daemon! The things he does to my stomach! Just thinking about him sets off a butterfly explosion in my stomach! I couldn't help but picture Damon Salvatore as Daemon! They have a lot of similarities, besides the name! Both are bad boys full of sarcasm. Both are good at hiding their true feelings and being a jerk. Both are insanely hot and have girls drooling all over them! Both have a sad past. Both fall for a girl they are not supposed to fall for, etcetera. Daemon is the ultimate bad boy you can't help but fall for.

I'll be honest,  couldn't really connect with Dee the way I wanted to. I never felt much for her, hell she could've died and I wouldn't have cared! I don't know why I felt so indifferent towards her, but I did. The other minor characters were okay and served there purpose well.

Ending: The ending was a bit... confusing for me. First of all, I don't get why Dee is oh so important. If Kat had done it for all the Luxen people that would have been more believable. But to do it to only save Dee (which Kat says again and again) is a bit... I don't know, not believable. Secondly, I really didn't understand what went down and the Kat Daemon connection thing. And I read that part twice. Still don't get it... This is the only reason I gave this book a 9.5 instead of a 10. 

Overall: I loved this book a lot and really enjoyed reading it! I'll definitely check out the second book ASAP! I highly recommend this for fans of Twilight and Vampire Diaries and people who like to read paranormal romances.

Giveaway~Deadly Errors by Allen Wyler (U.S. & Canada)

In honor of the release of Allen Wyler's new thriller novel, Deadly Odds, I and Astor & Blue Editions are hosting a giveaway for his medical thriller, Deadly Errors. Please read below for more information.

Synopsis for Deadly Odds: Bestselling author, Allen Wyler, (Dead End Deal, Deadly Errors, Dead Ringer, Dead Wrong) is back with a new breakout suspense thriller with a techno edge, Deadly Odds. Twenty-three year old Arnold Gold is a Seattle-based odds-maker and local computer genius. Described as a 'part-time hacker and full-time virgin' by his friends, the awkward young shut-in flies to Vegas to try and get lucky in more ways than one. But his high stakes activity on the Net inadvertently thrusts him into a vortex of international terrorism.

Dark Net Hacking has resulted in murder, and now it will take every last bit of Arnold's genius intellect and legendary hacking skill to stay one step ahead of the murderous terrorists, the FBI, the local cops and his lawyer. Gold's only chance to save himself is to find the location of a bomb hidden somewhere in Vegas, and somehow prevent the explosion that will turn Sin City into the scene of the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11.

Wyler's wild new thriller is as horrifyingly plausible as it is darkly funny and enjoyable. Deadly Odds is not only a page-turner, it's a terrific character-driven story about a young man who lives life through a computer and discovers its dark side. Edgy, twitchy and filled with enough tech savvy detail to keep both the techno-thriller and classic suspense fan enthralled, Deadly Odds is a new generation's thrill ride."

Synopsis for Deadly Errors: A comatose man is given a fatal dose of insulin in the emergency room, even though he isn't diabetic.  An ulcer patient dies of shock after receiving a transfusion of the wrong blood type.  A recovering heart patient receives a double dose of medication and suffers a fatal heart attack.




Brain surgeon Dr. Tyler Matthews suspects that something is seriously wrong with the hospital’s new Med-InDx computerized medical record system. But he doesn’t suspect that there’s something murderously wrong with it.

As Matthews begins to peel back the layers of deception that cover the deadly errors, he crosses powerful corporate interests who aren’t about to let their multi-billion dollar medical record profits evaporate. Now a target, Matthews finds himself trapped in a maze of deadly conspiracy, with his career, his marriage, and his very life on the line.

Once again, Wyler blends his unparalleled expertise as a world-class surgeon with his uncanny knack for suspense to create a true best-of-breed medical thriller. Deadly Errors is a lightning-quick action procedural that is destined to win new fans to the medical thriller genre.

Praise for Deadly Errors:

Thriller Explores Biggest Medical Nightmare:

Deadly Patient-Care Errors

"A thriller that only a doctor could have written. Wyler's sense of the worlds of the hospital and operating room are unsurpassed. You'll feel as if you are right there."




~Michael Palmer, New York Times bestselling author of Miracle Cure and The Sisterhood




“Deadly Errors is a wild and satisfying ride! This is an ‘up all night’ pass into troubled places that only hard-working doctors know about, a turbulent world of trusting patients and imperfect humans struggling with the required image of perfection.”

~John J. Nance, author of Pandora’s Clock and Fire Flight
