Joey Writes Dramas: About Me

My name is Joey! I've been a drama fan since I was 13 (I'm currently 18) and decided I liked dramas so much, I'm gonna write about 'em! I'm kind of a horrible blogger (and I'm not very computer savvy), but I'll try my best. *fist pump*

I have social phobia* and am agoraphobic**. I'm constantly berating myself for even having an opinion, let alone sharing it with the world, so please bear with the serious lack of posts some times and random hiatuses. If your not very confident with yourself, it's kind of hard to be confident in sharing an opinion on anything, let alone something that's so important to me as dramas, manga, anime and other entertainment hailing from Asia.

I'm currently a public high school drop-out but am hoping to graduate with a diploma anyway via online schooling. The school I'm interested in has courses in writing, web design, and has a movie club! Hopefully, when I start taking those classes, this blog's design and functionality will improve (because it kind of sucks right now).

My dream career is to be an actor and writer (possibly director, too?) for film and television all over the world -- Asia especially. (Can you see my drama bias?) Though, I've recently looked into the world of publishing, and it actually sounds pretty fun (not to mention, editing seems right up my alley!).

---------------------------------------------------

I run another blog about masculine fashion for tomboys, gender non-conformists, and biological males alike. I'm also the Saturday Vlogger for an Asexual Visibility collaboration channel on YouTube called Ace Ideas. I don't vlog as myself, though. I'm the person behind the puppet-ed tiger stuffed-animal toy. I haven't uploaded a video there in ages, though, as real life has been in the way.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you enjoy reading my reviews, episode commentary, character breakdowns and other ramblings on Asia's entertainment.

* Social Phobia - people who often carry a deep fear of being evaluated negatively in social situations
** Agoraphobia - an irrational fear of crowded and/or public places resulting in not leaving a safe place. I rarely leave my house unless it's to go grocery shopping with my mom.

Random Episode Thoughts

I Am Sam, Ep 2: This is something I try and ignore in most dramas, as it happens in every single one of them, but why must the makeup on the young girl actors be lighter than their skintone? If you're going to wear lighter toned makeup, you put it all the way to your chest, don't you? Not just on your face? Shouldn't the Coordi-noona's know that? Ergh, it just bothers me and really takes me out of the drama, too.
I Am Sam, Ep 2: Lee Min Ho was in this drama?! Whaaa? According to Drama Wiki, Lee Min Ho plays Heo Mo Se. Well, I certainly didn't watch this drama for him...

I Am Sam, Ep 1: I wasn't sure if T.O.P was a good actor or not before seeing this show, and I'm still not sure if he is, but I've never been more excited to finally be introduced to a character before in my life. Chae Moo Shin, I hope you give us everything I'm expecting and more. XD

I Am Sam, Ep 1: I walked into this drama believing it was going to be more on the side of typical K-drama dramatics with the teacher eventually banding together with the students and eventually overcoming whatever obstacle was in their way (which I'm sure they still do). I'm barely 5 minutes into this drama, and already we have a guy literally being thrown into a wall courtesy of J-dorama style slapstick. This is going to be a long 16 episodes. EDIT: The J-dorama style slapstick comedy only occurs with the Gangster Father character, as his role is looking to be solely for comic relief and a bit of tension among the rest of the characters.

I Am Sam, Ep 1: Maybe I've been out of the game for too long, but Yi San's reaction to the students throwing stuff and then leaving was poorly acted to me. Saying his lines though? Completely believable. I've never seen Yang Dong Geun in anything before (he'll be in The Three Muskateers as one of the Muskateers, Heo Seung Po, in August) but this back-and-forth with his acting bothers me. The student's performances as well. Is this because I'm trying to become an actor? I over analyze people's performances? If this is how it's going to be, I may not last this drama...EDIT: Whoever that first guy was, he wasn't Yang Dong Geun. YDG is a great actor. It helps that I've never seen him before this show.
