Currently Watching: The Moon That Embraces The Sun

More appropriate status: Currently Sobbing on death of Prince Yang Myung.

Prince Yang Myung (Jung Il Woo)

King Lee Hwon (Kim Soo Hyun)

I love both the King and half bro Prince Yang Myeong that's why I cannot move on why the Prince have to die. He was never a real threat to the King position because he never wanted it on the first place. Though what Prince Yang Myeong did was heroic, selfless and idiotic at the same time I guess it was needed in the story. So while I'm still sobbing, I'll give it a rest.

The King & Queen Yeon Woo (Han Ga In)

The King and Queen did get their happy ever after ending. After all the tragedies, conspiracy and treason everything was dealt with and kept on their proper places. This KDrama deals more on fate and destiny, that no matter how one tries to mess with destiny it will still find its rightful ending. 

My Flower Boy - Jung Il Woo is back

Tweet

Oh my! This is what I am waiting for! Almost 2 months of KDrama drought and Flower Boy Ramyun Shop had me with just this wink!

I am guilty of playing favorites with Jung Il Woo as one of my flower boys (Jang Geun Seok as the other one), having the title role and the male lead. Of course I would follow or watch blindly. But even though it is JIW, I find the first ep really really entertaining. JIW's rotten-bad-boy-spoiled attitude is so cute! I am still getting the hang of the female lead and the rest of the gang. For now all my eyes are glued to my JIW.

Could you blame me?

A Dry October

Tweet

October is a dry season (for me) in the KDramaland. Look I only managed to have 4 posts for October, this is the 5^th and 3 were kinda paid posts, while the other one was a meme. I tried watching ep 1 of Poseidon, Vampire Prosecutor and Can’t Lose, but couldn’t find the interest to go for the 2^nd ep. And maybe because I am also busy with my other blogs and a new online shop.

But definitely, on the last week of October I will be back with my oppa Jung Il Woo’s Ramyun Shop.

The Return of Jung Il Woo

Tweet

OMO! OMO!

Just a few days ago, I posted that I missed my oppa JIW and am stalking for his new KDrama or even KMovie. And it's like I won in some amazing contest because he has a new KDrama!!!

According to dramabeans, his new KDrama is entilled Flower Boy Ramyun Shop to be aired sometime in October at tvN.

I can't contain my excitement!!!

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.

KDrama: 49 Days

Tweet

49 Days ended a few days ago but my heart is still heavy with all the crying and angst.

I so love the story and pace, with each episode leaving you on the edge, wanting for the days to move a little faster to watch the next one.

I wanted to write about it every episode but I felt I cannot give justice to the complexity of the story.

There’s the stories between

1. Ji Hyun-Min Ho
2. Ji Hyun-Kang Ah
3. Kang Ah-Min Ho
4. Min Ho-In Jung
5. Ji Hyun-In Jung
6. Ji Hyun-Yi Soo
7. Yi Soo-Yi Kyung
8. Yi Kyung-Ji Hyun

And there’s still about the parents and friends.

It’s a melodrama about life and death.

After watching, one would reflect if you’d

1. Lived your life with purpose
2. Been loved and have truly loved another
3. Believe in fate/ destiny

I cried for everyone on the KDrama, even for the evils Min Ho and In Jung. I hate them but also felt pity.

But I cried the most for the love between Yi Soo and Yi Kyung (even now that I am typing this my eyes are blurry). Their love is so pure but tragic, I soo wanted them to be together but I know they can’t. I love-hate the ending because of that.

I really recommend this drama, I plan to watch it again, I already miss Yi Soo!

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

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!

Sticky Note: New Title and Plot for YEH's new Kdrama

Tweet

I've written about YEH's upcoming drama to be shown this August.

But along the way, the title, plot and characters kept on changing.

Now it is called My Fair Lady after Please Take Care of the Lady and Lady Castle.

And the cast and plot has been finalized.

Yoon Eun Hye as Kang Hye Na
Yoon Sang Hyun as Seo Dong Chan
Jung II Woo as Lee Tae Yoon

Here's the summary I got from wiki-addicts:

Of the high-rolling top 'hot celebrities' of the wealthy upper class in Korea's high society, Kang Hye Na (Hena) is the one desired by the men, feared and hated by the women. Being the only successor to the largest conglomerate company, Kang-san Group, Kang Hena has both the looks and the background. She is the owner of the ‘Lady Castle’ and lives a ‘princess-like’ life with her servants.

Until one day, out of pure coincidence, she comes across Seo Dong Chan who turns her life upside down. Not only does he make her do community service, he even kidnapped her... and now he's the new household manager!!! Even after stepping on him, crushing him and biting him, he still doesn't run away. She may have finally met her match...

Can't wait for Aug 18!

Hopefully someone can subbed it soon after it's release, although I do watch eps without subs and can get some ideas correct, talking about being a drama addict!

And from the looks of it I'll fall for Jung II Woo!
