Bel Ami (Pretty Man)

Hey Everyone!

It's been a while since I last finished a drama. Although this drama ended a while ago, I just haven't had a chance to watch the ending till today. Anyways, I just finished the drama Bel Ami. It was a cute drama revolving around the relationship between Dokgo Ma Te and Kim Bo Tong. BT fell in love with the "beautiful" MT in high school, however he was always out of her league. However, once they reached adulthood, MT's mother passed away leaving behind his birth secret. Hong Yoo Ra was the one that MT's mother left the "passcode" to, but YR did not give it to MT for free. YR requested that MT learn how to be a businessman by meeting 10 successful women (and I suppose conquer them). The rest of the drama revolved around MT finding out the "passcode" that his late mother left him and becoming a more successful man. All along the way, MT had help from the clumpsy and cute BT. Of course a love triangle formed between MT, BT, and the eccentric Choi David. The drama was cute and dramatic at times. I would give this drama a 4.5 out of 5 stars because the plot was good. That's it for now.

Love Rain

 Hey Everyone!

It has been a while since I last posted. A lot has happened since then! The biggest change in my life is that I got engaged to the love of my life on August 24th =). Of course, soon afterwards, I had to return to the island for school. Unfortunately, there was a lot chaos with flights due to Hurricane Isaac. However, after a long flight, I finally made it back, safe and sound. During my break and after I returned to the island, I decided to watch Love Rain. It was one of the better dramas that I have watched in the past few months. It had great actors for lead - Jang Geun Suk (You're Beautiful) and Im Yoon Ah (SNSD). The drama was about a love between two generations. Initially they showed Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee, falling in love in the 70's. That love was not able to sprout because YH became ill and left the country. In the meantime, IH got married and had a child. Few decades later, their children, Seo Joon and Jung Ha Na met in Japan. The two met under unusual circumstances, but eventually Joon fell for HN. But things got complicated when they realized their parents liked each other and were rekindling their old flame. The two decided to break up, but could not stay away from each other or stay near each other and be siblings. The rest of the drama involved the struggle between both couples in trying to help the other. There was a lot of internal struggle shown in the drama. It was also nice to see Jang Geun Suk in a proper role and great to see Yoon Ah in another drama after a long hiatus. The drama was well made, and I liked the cinematography as well. It was a cute plot, with lots of happy and sad scenes. I give this drama a 4.5 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!
