KDrama: Can't Lose

Tweet

About bickering husband and wife in the midst of divorce procedings, did I forgot to mention both are successful lawyers?

The wife - Choi Ji Woo, last time I watch her was on the season KDrama Winter Sonata (which I honestly didn't watch till the end because I hate sad endings).

The husband - Yoon Sang Hyun of My Fair Lady and Secret Garden.

Ep 2 is already up with english sub but I guess I have to wait at least till ep 8 before starting to watch.

Drama Solved with Straight Talk

Tweet

This post brought to you by Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine.

A common scenario among dramas whether it be Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese or other is the communication gap. One or both would assume things and create havoc to the relationship. But even in real life it happens. And it’s sad to realize the gap can easily be bridge by being honest and constant communication.

Speaking of communication, I found the Straight Talk plan with everything you need. Whether you call a friend or  family or even work related, you don't need to fret on the call charges. If you're like my mom who constantly worries about bills on this case telephone bills, this is the answer to your problems. So the saying mom knows best is really true. She can now cut her telephone bills in half with this Hook, line and sinker Straight Talk plan. And it guarantees that there will be no surprise contracts, bills and even no credit checks. 

Another key thing to note is they offer various phone options like if you're tight on the budget, you could go for reconditioned phones as low as $10 with the basic call and text plus camera, mp3 player, mobile web access and blue tooth capability. Then if your on the higher end, you can choose smart phones or the touch screen ones. This everything you need Straight Talk plan even comes with unlimited monthly usage. Really worth your money.

Missing Jung Il Woo

Tweet

I was browsing for the top written celebrity or drama on this blog, Drama Queen when I saw oppa Jung Il Woo’s name. After the successful 49 days, I haven’t heard anything about him.

Is he that busy?

He’s my second best-man slash boy-toy in Korea, that is next to Jang Geun Seok.

I couldn’t find any news of new KDrama or KMovie he’s working in. But I found these photos from N.O.A. Entertainment, mind you it’s in Korean so I cannot understand anything.

I’ll be oogling with these pics and will keep me sane for a few more weeks.

Myung Wol the Spy: Lies and Betrayal

Tweet

Oh My! I feel for you Eric, all the pain from more lies and betrayal.

It's my first KDrama with Eric as the male lead and I must admit he is quite good in acting and oozing with male sex appeal. He's a full blooded man.

But as I've said I'm more into the flower boy type - the cutie next door like my JGS (missed him).

TracFone: Parent and Child Friendly

Tweet

This post brought to you by TracFone. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Ever wonder how kids can be so active nowadays? They seem to be on one activity to the next without being tired. I guess that can be possible with the aid of various gadgets like mobile phones, computers and others. With smart phones one can call or text, play games, search the internet, chat and a lot more. They can even do their research homework over the same smart phone.

So basically, the use of mobile phones is not just for adults now. Even kids, as early as primary school age needs it. One is to communicate with their parents, school mates and teachers. Second is to do research homework and the like. Third is for gaming and other recreational things. Of course the use should be guided by the parents and a schedule or plan should be enforced. 

Now with TracFone, parents can let their kids subscribe to their various plans. According to real TracFone customers it offers the least expensive way to own and use mobile phones in America. With so many features such as a year of service or plan for only $119 or monthly plan of 50 minutes for $9.99, real TracFone customers can lower their combined family telephone bills. You also have options to buy reconditioned or a smart phone with no surprise contracts, bills or credit card checks. No wonder real TracFone customers are increasing by the day.

Monday to Sunday Drama Sched

Tweet

I was looking for another drama to watch together with KDramas Protect the Boss, Scent of a Woman and Myung Wol the Spy. These are all currently running dramas so there are gaps in between the actual airings and release of English subbed parts.

Mon & Tues – Myung Wol the Spy
Wed & Thurs – Protect the Boss
Sat & Sun – Scent of a Woman

And I found the JDrama adaptation of You’re Beautiful (Park Shin Hye and Jang Geun Seok) called Ikemen desu ne.

While watching the first ep, I can’t help but to compare and I know I shouldn’t since they are the same.

That’s why it is called adaptation girl!

Okay, my bad.

So no comparison from now on. The three original A.N.Jell members are Ren, Shu and Yuki, and the cause of all these confusion is Mio the brother of Miko. I am guessing their ages are 16-18 because they all look young, but when I checked their ages are 20-24, still young to my standards.

Fri – Ikemen desu ne

So that fills the schedule.

Currently Watching: Scent of a Woman

Tweet

Currently watching and crying.

Huhu, saddest kissing scene ever!

I was hesitant to watch this one, knowing the story will evolve with a six month death sentence. But I adore Kim Sun Ah and curious about Lee Dong Wok.

And indeed starting with ep 1, my tears were not stopping.

I find LDW's acting quite robotic. I don't know if it's what the script requires or his acting style, guess I have to re-watch My Girl. But KSA really delivers, I cry every time she cries. I feel her pain particularly on ep 9 where she told her best friend that she has cancer and is dying. Huhu major crying scene.

I am now waiting for ep11, with Kang Ji Wook learning Lee Yeon Jae's condition.

Oh I also like Dr. Chae Eun Suk's strict-but-softy-on-the-inside character.
