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

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.

Kdrama: Will it snow this Christmas?

Well I would want to. And so I’m putting this on my watch list come Christmas break.

Summary from wiki.d-addicts:

Cha Kang Jin (Go Soo) is the son of barmaid, Cha Chun Hee. His life is difficult as he gets into fights and has to watch other people push his mother around yet he can't do anything to stop it. He meets Han Ji Wan (Han Ye Seul) when they were teens but they weren't able to continue their relationship as Ji Wan ran away after her older brother's death. He meets Ji Wan 8 years later when he's attending her engagement ceremony to Park Tae Joon. However, he is heartbroken as Ji Wan pretends to not remember him at all.

I'll keep you posted when I've finally watched it.

JDrama: Otomen

I was looking for a new drama to watch last weekend when I saw this one. I read the manga before, the story is kinda cute and the main lead, Okada Masaki is a total hottie.

I was totally bent on watching it ay mysoju, but then I was directed to viikii, then to youtube, then to nothing! Waah! I can’t find it anywhere…

Can anyone suggest any other sites?

Otomen

Summary from wiki.d-addicts:

The story centers around the popular high school boy Masamune Asuka (Okada Masaki), the top kendo fighter in the nation. However, beneath his cool exterior, he is actually fond of sweets and shojo manga, and is skilled in sewing and cooking. When he instantly falls for the transfer student Miyakozuka Ryo (Kaho), his secret is in danger of being exposed.

I read somewhere that main lead Okada will play Takuma in the adaptaion of Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu, another cute manga. Gotta wait for this too.

We had several extra days off this week so I decided to watch my favorite dramas.

KDrama: Coffee Prince

I’ve watched this Kdrama for more than 10 times but still I still laugh and fall in love like the first time with Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) and Han Kyul (Goong Yoo).

KDrama: Princess Hours (Goong)

Same with CP, can’t get enough of this Kdrama. Not to mention I also reread the Manga from time to time.

TwDrama: Frog Prince

My second time to watch this, I know the storyline but forgot most of the scenes already. Main leads are Chen Qiao En and Ming Dao.

Kdrama: My Fair Lady Finale

Tweet

I finished watching this KDrama 2 weeks ago. But I guess the finale episode still didn’t sink in to my head. I had high hopes for this one, being YEH latest KDrama after Coffee Prince. I may say I’m kinda disappointed, with the ending at least.

My last post is about my kilig moments with YEH and JIW, though I know they will not end up with each other, I was still rooting for JIW. But after a few more EPs, Butler Seo slowly and steadily made me change my mind and finally accepted that he and Hey Na deserves each other.

Then the last two EP broke my heart, Butler Seo and Hey Na now admitted their love but knows they cannot be together. Huhuhu…It breaks my heart to watch them try to live their lives apart and cannot understand why they cannot fight for their love head-on, like in most dramas. Until the very last scene (though I know they will still end up together, otherwise I’ll rally against KBS!), they are apart and when they did reunite it was a really short scene. It didn’t left a lasting impression on me or rather I am not happy with the ending period.

Well, that’s my own interpretation; don’t know with the other fanatics.

(Pls bear with the pictures, I couldn't find any so I just took a print screen)

Kdrama: My Fair Lady Ep 4

Tweet

i sooo love this ep...love YEH and Il Woon...

super kilig on the bus scene (reminds me of Goong/ Princess Hours)...

but i feel sorry at the same time to Sang Hyun aka butler, he's starting to fall for Heyna in this ep, but Heyna likes Tae Yoon...i'm not sure about Tae Yoon's feelings but i hope he and Heyna would end up together...

KDrama: My Fair Lady Eps 1-3

Tweet

Finally! The long wait is over!

For more than 2 years YEH hasn’t been in the any KDrama, and as soon as I heard of her new project, I was really excited!

I already made 2 posts about it, this is the 3rd one. Not that excited, huh?

Well, I was able to watch the first 3 episodes yesterday with english sub courtesy of viikii.net.

About the drama, I find it very funny and little by little getting the hang of the 3 main characters. Their backgrounds are way too complicated and you must really watch the first 3 eps to at least understand them.

Kang Hey Na (Yoon Eun Hye) is the uber rich granddaughter of a business tycoon. She had everything that’s why she’s spoiled, bratty and evil. She is the female version of Jun Pyo in BOF. But later on you will understand that she was just rebelling from her grandfather’s previous order, not yet clear though what happened but it’s about her first love.

Seo Dong Chan (Yoon Sang Hyun) on the other hand, is a former gigolo and works really hard to pay off her deceased mother’s debts. He had a nasty vehicular encounter with Hena and instead of out-of-court settlement, he pursued that she got penalized and she did by having to render 120 hours of community service. By some twist of fate he was hired by the grandfather to become Heyna’s personal assistant/ butler. But he too had ulterior motive in accepting the job, that is for Heyna to fall for him (using his gigolo antics) and thus get her money (to pay those loan sharks).

Lee Tae Yoon (Jung II Woon) is a human rights lawyer, actually a son of a business tycoon as well, but he opt to cut ties with his family. He was supposed to had a blind date with Heyna but he refused. His character was just starting to entwined with Heyna. So let’s look out for it.

Btw, did I mentioned that he’s uber cute and now he’s my crush? Sorry Dong Jie (Roy Qui)…

Why are the third wheelers cuter and a better person than the lead?

It’s making me furious!

Anyway, I’ll have you guys anytime of the day!

Can’t wait for the next eps!

TwDrama: Easy Fortune Happy Life

Tweet

As scheduled, I was able to watch this drama during my 2 days off.

I am still waiting for the last 2 eps but with the 11 eps, I could generally picture the ending. Of course, Qiao En would end up with Blue Lan.

But why I'm not happy?

It is the first time, I did not like the male lead, usually even if they play bad boy first (like Jun Pyo in BOF), you would still fall in love with the character and hope he would change (sorry, I'm just a hopeless romantic). It did happen here but I still don't like Blue Lan, ok he's cute and I must say he's effective in his drama but still there's no effect on me. Sorry Blue Lan!

Qiao En is still at her best, although after the huge success of FTLY, this drama fails to at least level up. The first two eps, I was crying my eyes out. The granny's love is so great even after 50 years she is still waiting for her first love's promise. Huhuhu.

Would I forget the uber HOT third wheel, Roy Qui? Wished so many times that Fu An will fall for him instead. Or rather that he would fall for me. Hahaha.

My summary:

Chun Xiang (Granny) and Wang Cai (Gramps) met during their younger years. She treated him when he got injured in the mountain. At that time, his medicine business got bankcrupted. He befriended and stole Xiang's family medicine recipe, then promised to return for her. She did wait, but eventually got her own family.

Present time, Xie Fu An and brother Pi Dan lives with Granny (both their parents died), in a small run-down hut. But till this day Granny still hopes that Gramps will come and fulfill his promise. She later died, with this Fu An and Pi Dan set forth to look for Gramps.

Meanwhile, Gramps remembered Granny after he had a near death experience, and set up to look for Granny but learned that she died but left her 2 grandchildren. So he wants to make amends and to give the company to Fu An and to whoever will be his husband. Knowing that his family, he has 2 grandson, would never give up their inheritance to other people.

So came Yan Da Feng, with a devil-like personality, set to at first kill Fu An, but later on decided to marry her instead to get the money.

And there is also Han Dong Jie, a gangster in nature but had very good personality. He's been saved or rather Fu An helped him one time and he vowed to protect him forever.

Jocelyn Wang as the bitch Jiang Zhen Zhen, the scheming gf of Da Feng. Hate her so much! Grr!

My personal rating:

Title : Easy Fortune Happy Life

Genre : Romantic Comedy

Total ep : 13

Casts : Chen Qiao En as Xie Fu An, Blue Lan as Yan Da Feng, Roy Qui as Han Dong Jie and Jocelyn Wang as Jiang Zhen Zhen

Kilig rating : 7/10
(I don't feel any kilig between Qiao En and Blue Lan. I gave add'l points for Roy Qui!)

Story rating : 7/10
(Same old plot line, but still I enjoy watching it)

I’ve been keeping myself away from my major addiction, that is watching asian dramas, mainly because as like any addiction I can’t seem to stop.

So I think for months I was successful in doing this but I already missed it so bad.

That’s why for the next two days (read my Unusual Weekend post), I will succumb to my weakness.

I already made a list of my must see asian dramas:

My Fair Lady – first ep was shown Aug 18, I don’t care whether subbed or not, I must see YEH!

Dream – Kim Bum’s drama after BOF

Calling Big Star – I wonder if it already started airing, I want to see Mike He!

Easy Fortune Happy Life – curious about Qiao En’s drama after FTLY

Tamra the Island – kdrama adapted from manga of the same title, according to a reliable source, cute and funny story

Hopefully I could watch it all…haha…
