KDrama: Love Rain

Tweet

I don't usually go for melodramas, I vowed against it after my tear duct dried while watching Autumn in my Heart (Autumn Tale). But I have saved all my tears for my Jang Geun Seok. 

The writer of Love Rain just happens to be the writer of the famed Season Dramas which includes Autumn in my Heart and Winter Sonata.

Four months had past and I just completed watching 2 Korean (Padam Padam and Flower Boy Band) and 1 Taiwanese Drama (Skip Beat). I am only on the 6th ep of The Moon that embraces the Sun, which are all backlogs from 2011.

Meaning I haven't touched any 2012 dramas yet! They already piled up

Love Rain
Rooftop Prince
Marriage Plot
The King 2 Hearts
Fashion King
Dream High 2
Queen In-hyun's Man
Absolute Boyfriend (TwD)

and some might have missed my radar.

I must find time in my already packed schedule. I have to. Promise.

You're My Pet Posters are Out!

He's MY Pet!

I am just lending my JGS to Kim Haneul. Period. No buts!

Look how cute and adorable he is? I am not a cat lover but just this once I will be. Meow!

After 2 years 4 months and 165 posts, here are the top five most blogged about celebrities and dramas. I checked my tags and as I am more inclined to KDramas, all of them are from Korea.

DQ Top Blogged Celebrities
Park Shin Hye – 16
Jung Yong Hwa – 15
Jung Geun Seok – 13
Yoon Eun Hye – 11
Lee Min Ho – 10

DQ Top Blogged Dramas
You’re Beautiful – 14
You’ve Fallen For Me – 10
Myung Wol the Spy- 8
Lie to Me – 7
My Girlfriend is a Gumiho – 7

My personal choice would be Jang Geun Seok and Yoon Eun Hye for Top Celebrities while You’re Beautiful for Top Drama. I know I’m biased. But this is my blog and here I am the Queen – the Drama Queen.

Happy Bday My JGS

Tweet

My Jang Geun Seok oppa celebrated his 24th bday last Aug 4.

Saengil chukha hamnida! Saranghae!

He celebrated it on the set of You’re My Pet, a KMovie with Kim Han eul to be released by September. Can’t wait! I already promised my first KMovie will be this one.

And by September also, he will start shooting his next KDrama: Love Rides the Rain with tentative telecast early next year. Excited much! But can I wait that long? Well, I can always have a YAB rerun.

Back to Back Park Shin Hye

Tweet

I just finished YAB rerun and i still get giddy with OTP Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Seok. I guess I'll have another round in the near future, let's say tom? coz it's almost midnight now.

And now I'm watching another PSH KDrama starrer Heartstrings/ You've Fallen For Me now with Jung Yong Hwa as the male lead (graduated from being the third wheeler in YAB).

Can't get enough of my KDrama addiction.

YAB Take 2!

Tweet

While waiting for the new eps of TwDrama: Drunken to Love You and KDrama: Heartstrings aka You've Fallen For Me, I decided to rewatch my all-time-favorite KDrama: You Are Beautiful.

Connect? It's stars Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa of HS and my pretty-boy-toy Jang Geun Seok.

I am lovin' YAB and JGS all over again!

By the way, a JDrama adaptation is currently filming. I'll definitely check that one.

KDrama: Heartstrings

Tweet

One of my fave KDrama of all time is You’re Beautiful (YAB), there I first fell for Jang Geun Seok. Of course I rooted for the emo-looking-guy JGS (I really hated his hair at first but fell hard later) and the gender-bender-nun Park Shin Hye. But my heart bled dry for the kind-third-wheeler Jung Yong Hwa.

That was 2009, fast forward to 2011. Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa teamed together for Heatstrings aka You've Fallen For Me! Now JYH gets the girl, definitely 100% sure!

Trying to live up to her grandfather's expectations, Kyu Won immerses herself in training and becomes a university student who knows nothing outside of her studies.

KMovie: You're My Pet

Tweet

I was never into Asian Movies, except maybe horror ones, I don’t know the reason. I am ok with Asian dramas period. Although I was tempted to watch one or two KMovies, it always never materialized.

But it will end with You’re My Pet!

That’s how I love Jang Geun Suk nope I adore this man! Even if the last KDrama was a disappointment, I still followed him like a love sick puppy.

You’re My Pet is the Korean Adaptation of another manga and JDrama Kimi Wa Petto where the main male lead is Matsumoto Jun (I like him too!).

JGS will be paired with Han Ye Seul.

Mei Ri Christmas!

Tweet

Merry Christmas! It’s 20 or more days to go…

You might be wondering about my spelling of the title, well it was brought upon my latest KDrama addiction – Mary Stayed Out All Night.

I can’t help smiling or feel giddy (kilig) on every scene of Mu-gyul (Jang Geun Seok) and Mei Ri (Moon Geun Young). I am biased with JSK, love him in You’re Beautiful, but really these two are too cute together. Story wise, it’s a bit over or one-in-a-million-chance-of-happening, nevertheless I’m completely hooked with it.

I’m waiting for ep 7 to be subbed.

If you want a feel-good KDrama to watch, this is definitely it!

One great KDrama over another.

Can't wait for Jang Geun Seok's new drama! I think he is being stereotyped as musician as in his previous roles in Kdramas Beethoven Virus and You're Beautiful. Not that I am complaining because he sure does have beautiful voice not to mention a beautiful face!

Initial telecast on Nov 8, i'll sure mark that on my calendar!

Sticky Note: SBS Drama Awards 2009

This is kinda late, but can’t help posting it anyways. This shows A.N.Jell’s performance during the SBS Drama Awards 2009.

Can’t get enough of You’re Beautiful!

I love Jang Geun Seok! Saranghae hyung-nim!

Kdrama: You're Beautiful Casts

Tweet

Sorry guys, for the last couple of days or even weeks, you've heard nothing from me but the Kdrama: You’re Beautiful.

It's just that I can't get over it.

I’m definitely, 100% sure that this is the next big thing after BOF!

And you’ve heard it first here (well actually I’m kinda late because it already ended last month).

Hwang Tae Kyung (Jang Geun Suk) is the leader of the band A.N.JELL, and the most popular of the 3 guys but is also has the meanest character. He disapproves of Mi Nam’s addition to their group and bullies her (even when he learnt that she is actually a girl). He’s an uber OC guy, funny thing is Mi Nam always makes a mess out of everything. He has a verypainful childhood/ family experience which explain his bad behavior.You’ll fall in love with his character as Ni Man and I did, for sure!

Jeremy/ Kang On Yu (Lee Hong Ki) is the funniest and most lovable member. He’s kinda jealous at first with Mi Nam because the other two guys are showing more attention to her. Also, he felt weird whenever he’s near Mi Nam, he was the last one to know that she is in fact a girl.

Kang Shin Woo (Jung Yong Hwa) is the sweetest guy here. He knew from the start that Mi Nam is a girl and fall for her but since he doesn’t want his feelings to complicate things, he kept it a secret. He continued to help and support her, playing as her hyung (older brother), so sad.

Go Mi Nyu (Park Shin Hye) acts as her twin brother Mi Nam because for some unknown reason. She is hesitant at first because her plan is to become a nun, yup, she lived most of her life in the convent. But later on sees the opportunity to meet their unknown mother. Things get complicated when she developed feelings for Tae Kyung.

My Fave Scenes on Kdrama You're Beautiful

Tweet

I mentioned before that I will post pix from the Kdrama You're Beautiful, so here they come:

New Kdrama to watch out

Tweet

I’m going gaga over the Kdrama: You’re Beautiful (YAS).

As per my previous post, it is about Go Mi Nyu (Park Shin Hye) who needs to pretend as his twin brother Go Mi Nam and join the famous boy group A.N.JELL.

Similar with Hana Kimi and Coffee Prince, with the girl pretending to be a boy scenario but here there are a lot of scenes that you wouldn’t expect. Hilarious scenes I must say. Never a dull moment.

There were a lot of great songs in the OST, I am not very familiar with KPop so I had to research for those titles yet.

And did I mention, there were 3 good looking guys to choose from!

I’ll post pictures on my next entry.

I’m watching it at Youtube btw.

Kdrama: You're Beautiful

Tweet

Another one on my watch list. This one is recommended in dramabeans, a blog/ site I often frequent to check the latest in Kdramas.

Summary from wiki.d-addicts:

Tae Kyung (Jang Geun Sun) and On Yu (Lee Hong Ki) are in search of a new member for their idol group, A.N.JELL. However, Mi Nam suffers an injury at the last moment. So Mi Nyu (Park Shin Hye), his twin sister, is asked to step in for her brother. The rest of the drama follows the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group.
