Currently Watching: City Hall

Tweet

I was getting bored waiting for new eps for KDramas Protect the Boss, Scent of a Woman and Myung Wol the Spy. We had 4 days Eid holiday so I finished everything up (meaning latest ones). I gave up on ep 2 of JDrama Ikemen Desu Ne, not because I didn’t like it but because it I can’t help but compare it to the original You’re Beautiful and kept on missing Jang Geun Seok. I told myself if this will be the case, might as well watch YAB again for the 3rd or 4th time.

And so I decided to watch the KDrama City Hall instead.

I am on the 10th episode already and I kept on hating Jo Gook (Cha Seung Won), he’s so mean to Shin Mi Rae (Kim Sun Ah).

Jo Gook, how can you be such a user? And Mi Rae, how can you be so stupid?

I must admit though that he looks yummier here than as Dokko Jin in Best Love (but I love his character there!)

Jo Gook is an exceedingly smart government official. He passed the Higher Civil Service quickly, and basically is the perfect guy. But being a deputy mayor is not enough for him. He lives with the dream of becoming South Korea’s President. He should have easily gone straight to the top, but due to an unexpected incident, he gets dispatched as a deputy mayor for a provincial small town, Inju City, where Shin Mi Rae was working. Shin Mi Rae is a low-ranking secretary in Inju, but she works her way up in becoming the youngest City Mayor. As their paths met, they have to deal with each other’s personal and social differences. But despite their constant bickerings, would they end up in each other’s arms? -KoreanDrama

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!!!

Skip Beat Trailer

Tweet

Most anticipated TwDrama by me - Taiwan's adaptation of my fave Skip Beat manga, Extravagant Challenge.

They already finished filming but the telecast is set early of next year, I hope it comes out sooner though. Since the 2 main male leads are Korean - Choi Si Won and Lee Dong Hae, I guess they the need to dub it first.

So here first are parts 1 and 2 of the trailer.

Crazy, isn't it? Well the manga is indeed crazy, and I think they did a pretty good job. I must agree that for manga adaptation, Japan and Taiwan are better (in terms of craziness, over the top antics) like Hana Kimi, Hayate the Combat Butler, etc.

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).
