DQ Top Blogged Celebrities
Park Shin Hye – 16

DQ Top Blogged Dramas
You’re Beautiful – 14

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.

Diehard City Hunter

Tweet

I'm really not into these action dramas/ movies or anything that involves fighting. I guess I'm more of a lover and not a fighter.

I don't gross out from blood but I hate seeing someone in pain or beaten to death. How many more lives are we gonna lose after Mr. Prosecutor?

I'm down with the last ep of City Hunter, but to coward to finish it. Who else will die? Kim Nana? Ajusshi? The President or City Hunter himself?

NOOOOOOOO!

Currently Watching: City Hunter

I know Lee Min Ho is one hot property and the reviews on this KDrama is enticing but why oh why can't I finish the first ep?

I tried to watch it twice already and now the third but still I can't overcome the first ep syndrome. But I can't miss it either and jump on the next ep since the historical thing is important. No wonder I don't like History classes, so boring.

But I will finish this ep, I will, because I know later on I'll be lovin' City Hunter.

KDrama: Playful Kiss

Tweet

This is definitely BIG! as in B-I-G!

Sometime ago, I wrote about the Korean adaptation of Itazura na Kiss (JDrama) or ISWAK- It Started With A Kiss (TwDrama) being under serious consideration. And now they finalize the cast and guess who will play the male lead?

Kim Hyun Joong oppa! Remember Ji Hoo of BOF - Boys Over Flowers. Premier is set to be on September 1, can't wait!

But according to the grapevine, Lee Min-Ho was first offered the part but he declined. Hmm, should I be disappointed?

I think it is LMH's loss since I really like the Taiwanese adaptation ISWAK and TKA - They Kissed Again played by Ariel Lin and Joe Chen. So I really think this would be another BIG hit just like BOF.

The female lead was offered to a newcomer Jung So Min.

I was curious about the ongoing KDrama Oh My Lady! so yesterday I started watching the first ep. It didn’t spark my interest so I stopped (for the meantime) but the comments said that it gets better on the succeeding eps, instead I’ll keep it on my watch list.

Today, I check the viikii site and saw that it already has the first two eps of KDrama Personal Taste starring Lee Min Ho. I gotta watch this, as in NOW NA!

I’ll keep you updated later? or in the next few days.

Sticky Note: Update on Kdrama Personal Taste

Tweet

Remember Lee Min Ho? Who wouldn’t?

Here’s the new stills from his new Kdrama: Personal Taste. He will be paired with Sohn Ye-jin.

Looks promising! And look at that skinny pants, I want that too!

Can we skip the month of March? ‘coz it will be shown in April :P

Thanks to Dramabeans, one of my fave KDrama sites for the pictures.

Sticky Note: Lee Min Ho’s new Kdrama!

Tweet

It’s confirmed! Lee Min Ho will be the main lead in the Kdrama Personal Taste. The whole production is still mum who will be the female lead, hmm..is it? I'm dying of curiosity! It will start filming by February and aired by April.

This Kdrama was rumored (maybe 2 years ago) to be the next project of Goong’s lead actors Yoon Eun Hye and Joo Ji Hoon but never materialized. Their loss is LMH's gain.

Personal Taste is the story of a straight guy who pretends to be gay to live with a female friend. This will certainly be a riot and can’t wait to see LMH’s gay acting.

Kdrama: Boys over Flowers

Tweet

F4 Mania is back!

Boys over Flowers is Korea's adaptation of the popular manga Hana Yori Dango. Japan already made a live action with the same title while Taiwan has Meteor Garden.

The basic story is about a group of four ultra famous / handsome / rich boys (F4) and a common girl.

I knew when it was announced that Koreans will make it's remake that it would be a huge success even more than the previous two adaptations.

And true enough they have carefully chosen the leads for BOF.

Koo Hye Sun as Geum Jan Di

F4
Lee Min Ho as Goo Jun Pyo
Kim Hyun Joong as Yoon Ji Hoo
Kim Bum as So Yi Jung
Kim Joon as Song Woo Bin

Initially I was a little disappointed with the female lead cast but as the show progressed she proved that she is perfect for the role.

The story started when Jan Di entered Shinhwa High, an elite school, she got in through a recommendation after she saved someone from committing suicide.

She caught the ire of F4 particularly Jun Pyo when she defended her only friend, Min Ji thus she got the notorious red card.

She was then bullied by the whole school population but she bravely took it all.

During the bullying time, Jan Di becomes close and fall in love with Ji Hoon.

But Ji Hoon is in love with their noona, Min Seo Hyun, a famous model.

Also at that time Jun Pyo became interested in her.

I remember the line of Jun Pyo to Jan Di at a pub:

"You family, looks, brains too, although all of these are zero. But you are the first woman that Goo Jun Pyo recognizes. Your qualifications are full marks".

Another one while they were flying private airplane showing her a heart-shaped land mass:

"Did you see my heart?"

Well on both cases Jan Di has still hang-ups with Ji Hoon, while the later with Seo Hyun.

Eventually upon Jun Pyo's persuasiveness Jan Di slowly grows feeling with him. And totally gave up on Ji Hoon.

They started going out and had really cute moments together.

One of which is when Jun Pyo stayed at Jan Di's house. He really had fun slepping in a crowded room, eating breakfast, making kimchi, going to public bath and eating fish stick.

Another is when Jun Pyo gave a necklace to Jan Di, the pendant (star and moon) was designed by Jun Pyo himself, he translated it as

"Jan Di is a moon which Jun Pyo the star will never let go, no matter what".

Next was during valentine's day when Jan Di gave Jun Pyo hand made chocolates and they joined a game for couples.

And that was also the witch, Jun Pyo's mother, learned of their relationship.

That starts the difficult life on the family of Jan Di. They were bribed by the witch but they repeatedly refused. They were left jobless and homeless but they never gave up.

One touching scene was when the family of Jan Di has to sell crackers on the highway, Jun Pyo saw Jan Di selling and asked to stop the car amidst her mothers order. Then Jun Pyo walks out of the car and walks towars Jan Di (it's a super nakakakilig moment!).

Jun Pyo was forced to go to Macau in place of his deceased father (whom is not actually dead but comatose, his mother kept it a secret to him) and was forced to be engaged with Jae Kyung.

Another obstacle was when Jun Pyo had an accident and amnesia, he totally forgot about Jan Di.

Of course in the end they end up together.

The last scene was when 2 years after F4 graduation, Jun Pyo returned after overseas study and proposed to Jan Di.

I did not do any justice to the characters of other F4 members especially to Ji Hoon.

I love Ji Hoon, i can feel his pain, from losing his parents at a young age, then his grandfather abandoning him, then his failed first love. And when he finally realized he love Jan Di, she cannot reciprocate his feelings anymore. Huhuhu...there were really times I would want Ji Hoon to end up with Jan Di. Ji Hoon is the epitome of a perfect gentleman, and he is Jan Di's soulmate and her kight (in shining armor since he usually save Jan Di from various ocassions). I have to remind myself that this is Jun Pyo and Jan Di's lovestory and it calmed me a bit.

Yi Jung meanwhile is a great potter and the groups female magnet. He did captured the hear of Jan Di's best friend, Ga Eul. And of course I love his smile!

And Woo Bin is the protector of the group being skilled in fighting.

I know, I know there's soo much more but I can only remember such. Its been 2 months since the series ended in Korea. I watched it online at mysoju .

I was waiting for an announcement for a second season so when I heard that they will issue a Music Video of F4 depicting their stories after 5 years I was really excited.

But when I watched it it was just like a recap of their previous scenes. It was a bit of a disappointment.

Well nevertheless, I highly recommend BOF.

It's an exciting romance comedy drama.

A complete package.

And I'm still waiting for season/ part two.

It's a drama queen's wish.
