Witches of East End Season 1 and 2 | Tv Show Review
Source: Imbd
Category: Drama, Fantasy
Runtime: 60 min
Episodes: 13
Creator: Maggie Friedman
Stars: Julia Ormond, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Rachel Boston |See full cast and crew »
Storyline:
Centers on the adventures of a mother and her two adult daughters, both of whom unknowingly are their family's next generation of witches, who lead seemingly quiet, uneventful modern day lives in Long Island's secluded seaside town of North Hampton. When one of the daughters becomes engaged to a young, wealthy newcomer, a series of events forces her mother to admit to her daughters they are, in fact, powerful and immortal witches. Written by Lifetime
My thoughts:
Season 1 started off with Freya's engagement party,her dream, getting to know all different characters,their relationship with one another and family life. It was pretty nice the whirlwind type of romance. The neverending cycle of red string of fate. The interesting mix of love and revenge.
Season 2 was pretty crazy! I have mix feelings whether or not to trust Frederick (freya's twin) he seems like a shady character and as the story unfolds he reveals that he's there on a mission
Semi Spoiler alert!
the king's spirit vessel is inside Frederick looking for a host.
Wendy who is careless at first with her lifespan is now trying to tread lightly (sort of).Dash became this very shady person like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Killian's always seems to be in danger! and the plot twist in the finale is truly heart and soul wrenching! Darkness is rising!
Oh men I don't really know how to feel about this season so many emotions,twist and turns, ups and downs roller coaster ride. I hope they'd make season 3 this show has so much potential! I love the characters they all started to grow on me.Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars! once I started watching this I can't seem to take my eyes off to the tv and just try to watch/marathon the entire season on netflix haha!

The end of book 2 reminds me of that scene in hannibal with the wealthy guy.
Got a bit confused whether nutmeg's a guy or girl.
I feel like the other stories within this story are such fillers -_-
Mae kasahara's story bout the duck people and rice pudding was so funny and interesting indeed.
I finally get it in the end it makes sense now haha!
Additional thoughts from the future (Oct. 2015) : So I read this book last September and I really didn't thought much about it as I try to enjoy the story as much as I can. I feel like this book is truly very Haruki you know normal days with a twist of weird paranormal twist story within a story some things/people aren't what they seem as you thought they would be kinda thing. I'd like to give it a higher rating him being Haruki and all but I just feel like it's okay I liked a lot of quotes from this book though haha!

4.5 out of 5 stars
ok you can round it off to 5 stars hahaha anyway, I love this girl's character Kim Seul Gi as Shin Soon Ae so bright,cheerful and full of youth!
also love love love this guy Kwak Shi Yang (Seo Joon) so cute!
I really want him and bong to be together that sort of love triangle crossed my mind. And I never thought I'd like sous chef he can be really funny or most of the times just plain annoying and he seems like he wants to go out for a drink every night with his coworkers who can't stand him but they're polite enough to go some nights oh such dilemma hahaha
and to sum up some of my feels thanks to drama fever for this awesome video compilation
also hello monster!
DAVE's cameo role! XD
this time his name is Edward something Kang Ki Young (Heo Min Soo) recall him as Alfred something hahaha didn't expect him to be here oh such good fanservice!
What else to say? it's soooooo good!such a great show! that ending though hmm..I thought one character was dead but is actually alive and then their's this maybe fate thing or like just to push that sort of ending to other characters you know that nice possibility that everything ends well that good feeling so everyone would be ok/fine with it haha. Overall I would still recommend this show a lot! I hope you'd check it out and see for yourself! ^_^
