Attention Please!


Hey Everyone!

So, I finished another drama today. I honestly found this drama to be OK, but all in all it was a nice comedy to enjoy. It was full of life lessons, such as 'keep at it'. The drama was Attention Please!. It was basically about the journey of becoming a flight attendant. The main character was Misaki Youko. Youko was originally a tom boy, that was part of a rock band, but because the boy she liked told her (jokingly) that he wanted to see her in a flight attendant uniform, she decided to apply. She got in, but it was a tough journey. She got into plenty of trouble, made lots of friends, and of course found a new boy to love (much better choice!). There were various other characters in the drama, which showed other issues women face everyday such as falling for a guy, or weight control. It was definitely worth a watch, though not my cup of tea (not really a drama that kept me glued to the computer screen!). So, I give this drama at 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Yoo Ah In as Moon Jae Shin


Hey Everyone!

I just couldn't help but post a picture of Yoo Ah In in Sungkyunkwan Scandal as Moon Jae Shin! Not only did I think he was totally attractive in this drama, but he also had the sweetest character! He was always there for Yoon Hee, but he also loved her silently. His character development in the drama was excellent! He was always so angry and misconceived in the drama at first (of course his bestfriend was always there for him). But slowly, but surely, he changed his outlook on life. He became so much sweeter and protective. I just really liked his character, and Yoo Ah In acted! Of course, I cannot forget how great he looks with the long hair! He had so many soft sides to him, that I just really loved! So, that is why I chose this picture. I really wanted to find a picture where he is smiling with his teeth showing, but unfortunately could not find one. Once I do, it will be on here! I think I'm so attracted to him, because he reminds me a little of my bf, but that's another story (hehe). For now, enjoy staring ladies! He is a hottie for sure! =)

Sungkyunkwan Scandal


Hey Everyone!

I just finished another excellent drama called Sungkyunkwan Scandal. At first, I did not want to start watching a historical period drama, but this one was really worth checking out! It is sort of like the Japanese Hana Kimi, where a girl dresses as a boy to enter an all boys school. However, back in those times, girls were not allowed to enter school at all, and so Kim Yoon Hee enterted the Sungkyunkwan school under her brother's name, so that she could make money and get medical supplies for her sick brother. So, throughout the drama, she pretended to be Kim Yoon Shik. Along the way, she met her two roommates, Lee Sun Joon and Moon Jae Shin (Geol Oh). She met SJ before entering the school, because she used to help students get into the school, by being a substitute exam taker (for money of course). But SJ caught her, and made her enter the school, due to her knowledge and writing ability. She met JS because he saved her, in her girl form when she was about to be robbed once. Somehow, the three ended up being roommates after entering the school. SJ is a Noron, which is the richest of the rich (nobleman), whereas JS was the guy that has been failing his year because he skips classes and is a rebel. There is also Goo Yong Ha, who is the most flamboyant and amusing character, and also JS's best friend since childhood. JS is a Soron, which is still upper class, whereas YH is just a regular middle class person, yet hides that through his dressing and appearance. The drama is very complicated, so I won't really get into the nitty gritty (you can watch it for that!), but the main idea is that YH enters the school disguised as a boy, and soon is acknoledged by everyone because she is well educated, and a caring person. The student body president, hates her and SJ, because he thinks they are know-it-all's that should not get so much attention (also because the woman he loves, falls for YH and his father is always obeying SJ's father as an underling). Either ways, in the end, the king orders the 4 to find a will left by his father. Turns out, YH's father and JS's brother, died protecting it. So, they set off on a mission to find it. In the meantime, SJ struggles with the fact that he is falling in love with a man (haha), and JS (already knowing she is a girl) falls for her as well. But, JS easily gives her up (though so sad! =( I liked him), when he realized that she loved SJ. Through many obstacles, SJ finally finds out that YH is a girl, and falls harder for her. They finally get together, but of course then they get the secret mission. In the meantime, JS is the modern Robin Hood, and there were many times the other three had to protect his identity (so glad he didn't die!). In the end, the even though the king finds the will, he burns it to protect YH's identity, and so, YH continues to live as a man inside the school doors (as a professor now), but married to SJ on the outside. It was a cute ending. I am glad things worked out for them. I definitely give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars. A definite watch, for anyone that loves reverse harems (like me!). There will be another post on JS hehe, because he was just too cute! Look forward to it!

Secret Garden


Hey Everyone!

So, I finished another awesome drama last night! I would have posted last night, as soon as I finished it, but my poor laptop was wheezing again. *sigh*. But anyways, it was a really nice drama! It actually got me to feel that 'butterfly' feeling again for a drama couple! It was so cute. The drama was Secret Garden. It was mainly about Gil Ra Im, a stuntwoman and Kim Joo Won a department store CEO. They live completely different lives, but somehow, due to his cousin (who is a singer, Oska) has to meet RI by accident, thinking she is the actress. JW falls for RI right away, because of her uniqueness. She is not like other girls. She is not rich, but she loves her job as a stuntwoman. Though, other girls dress up and care for their bodies, she is covered in scars. Her boss likes her too. But, in the end, she falls for JW's constant following and advances! There is even a sense of magic, as RI's late father, makes RI and JW swap bodies everytime it rains. It made for a lot of humour. But, near the end, RI actually gets hurt in the making of a movie, and so, JW sacrifices his life and finds rain, so that she can live on as him. But, somehow they switch back because the father thanked them both, and let them live. However, JW loses his memories from the time he was 21, when RI's father saved his life, but died himself (due to this, JW actually became claustrophobic to elevators). Though JW's mother never ended up approving, they got a court marriage done, and they had 3 cute kids. What I really liked about this drama, was that it did not end in a typical, happily ever after manner. It ended with the JW's mom still not accepting, but accepting the kids, and yet the couple loving eachother nonetheless. The ending was cute too, where it showed how JW actually first met RI. It was at her father's funeral, 13 years ago. He was there for her when she was asleep at the funeral hall. It was a great ending. I also liked the other couple and their interactions, where Oska and Yoon Seul had a misunderstanding in the past, but it took them 15 years to finally get engaged and be happy! It just shows, that you can always have a downfall through a misunderstanding, so fix it as soon as you can, or you may never get a chance. Lucky for them, they got another chance. Overall, it was a great drama. I wasn't really inclined to watch it, as I'm not a big fan of fantasy in a drama, but this was really cute! I loved it! I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars! Definitely a must see, for all you love crazy kids out there! =)... That's it for now.

Yankee-kun to Megane-chan


Hey Everone!

Today, I finished another drama called Yankee-kun to Megane-chan. It was a very funny drama, that helped me through a tough morning yesterday. I realized I lost a friend forever, and it was a little painful for me. Though, I suppose I should live by "whatever is meant to happen, will happen", I guess it still hurt to lose a friend I once considered a close friend. Anyways, watching this drama helped me get away from reality long enough and have some laughs long enough, to cheer me up and think straight. I realized, I should just leave things be, and move on! Today, I finished the drama, and was very happy. This drama was about Shinagawa and Adachi. Shinagawa is current yankee (fights a lot), whereas Adachi is a reformed yankee, and tries to help Shinagawa out. The drama does not have much of love story line, other than hints here and there, such as the Shinagawa-Adachi pair up. But, regardless, it was a great comedy, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it! I wouldn't suggest this drama to those who want a romantic drama, however, it is definitely talking about a lot of troubles teens face as well as how important friends are. It's a very light drama, with common topics on life. I would suggest this drama, only if you want something light to watch in your free time. I give this drama a 4.5 out of 5 stars (since not romantic enough). That's all!

I Really, Really Like You


Hey Everyone!

Just finished a wonderful drama! This one was beginning to upset me, but in the end it was the ending I wanted! The drama was called I Really, Really Like You (Jin Jja Jin Jja Joh Ah Hae). I really enjoyed it. It started off with Yeo Bong Soon (also known as Yeo Yoon Hee) meeting Chang Jon Won in her random forest home. Then Nam Bong Gi arrived because it turned out JW was the president's son and BG is a presidential guard. Though, at first BG did not know who JW was, later he found out after they returned to Seoul. At the beginning, BS is soon as a village girl, who can cook, but has always lived her life with her grandma in the forest area. However, after her grandma passes away, she realizes she does not know what to do. At the same time, the last words her grandma said, was that her mom and dad are still alive and to go find them. For a long time, she thought the president was her father because of a picture taken many years ago with him. However, she fell in love with JW, and when she realized he was the president's son, she freaked out. But, turned out the president found BS when she was baby and raised her for a few years, then left her with the grandma to raise her. Things calmed down, however the issue was that JW was married to a woman that had dementia. As well, BG started falling for BS, but never told her because he did not want to tell her while she loved another man. Though in the end, (thank goodness), she came to her senses when BG almost died and realized that she had feelings for him afterall. JW explained that he felt lost and lonely without his wife, Ji Soo, and to not lose what she's always had. She then realizes her feelings for BG, and soon after, they finally get together. It was such a sweet drama. I had to admit, my favourite part about it, was when BG gave BS a teddy bear that can connect to a cell phone. When on speaker phone, it mouths what is being said. It was the cutest and sweetest thing ever! I'm so glad it was BG that she ended up with, and not JW. It would have been too complicated and BG is sooo sweet! As well, I'm glad that BS was a good chef, but did not get to reach all the way up without learning proper skills. That was a good aspect of the drama as well. So, after saying all this, it is pretty obvious that I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars! That's it for now!

Mary Stayed Out All Night


Hey Everyone!

Once again, I have finished another drama! This drama was really cute. Definitely not a tear jerker like Baking King, Kim Tak Gu. I don't think I ever really cried for this drama, but I did get teary once in a while. This drama was Mary Stayed Out All Night. It was about a girl named Wi Mae Ri (Mary) and a guy named Kang Moo Kyul. They meet literally due to a car accident, where MR accidentally hits MK. They end up meeting a few times after that by coincidence. MK is a music composer, whereas MR is just a simple girl that happens to have a father that has a lot of debt! MK and MR do not fall in love at first, but through a series of unusual events, such as pretending to be married, since her father and his childhood friend want her to marry the childhood friend's son. There is a lot crazy background to that story, because the childhood friend actually liked MR's mother, and since she has a remarkable resemblance, he wanted her to marry into the family! The two fathers try to force these two together, but MR falls for MK (as does he). They go through many obstacles, but fortunately, in the end, they end up together. Though, it was not a fairy tale ending (i.e. no marriage), but it was more realistic. What I loved about the drama though, was the music! Amazing OSTs indeed! I am off to downloading the songs now. So, overall, I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars!
