Arang






I've skip many movie and drama so many times...sometimes I even forgot to put a review about some movie in this blog...to many things to catch with so sometimes those movie or drama that I've update seems out dated...and again do I care? nope...I love doing this, so why should I care with something like that...So another movie that I skip is ARANG...


Arang is another horror movie from korea...at first I thought it was about a cop catching some criminals but to my surprise it was a horror movie...hmmm and this is the first time I really look at Song Yoon-ah...I think she look great in this movie, her character was kind of interesting here...and Lee Dong Wook look good as always...

So-young is a veteran detective who have bad temper but good working nature...she was  team up with a new and young rookie partner Hyun-gi. So-young and Hyun-gi started their investigation on a homicide cases...despite of Hyun-gi goofing and fooling around and distracting So young, Hyun-gi actually let So-young sense that something is wrong in the cases and find out that each cases was related to each other...

So-young had build a lot of interest on the cases and figure out that all the victims was connected to the girl who was missing 10 years ago...at this point, So-young was plague with a nightmare in which the girls has appears and the seriel killer keep continue...

what I like about it was the effect that they have shown here...and some sort of explaination from the science point of view...that was kind of cool...feel like watching CSI too...well at least they make sence on that coz a cop doesn't supposed to believe 100% on ghost...they need some evidence other then something supernatural...

Hanoi Bride






I think if it was a serial drama...the conflict might get deeper and thank God it wasn't a drama coz I can't stand suffering thinking and feeling sad for the character...

The best part of this movie...of coz Lee Dong Wook hahaha...ok it's not that but the scenery...I like it...be it in Vietnam or Korea I just like it...about the movie itself...it was quite interesting...and Kim Ok-bin was excellant in here too...that what I think...maybe some people especially viatnemese would argue about the way she speak...can't blame her anyway...but still for me she do it better...I don't know if she really show us the typical viatnamese lady but I guess she did show a charachter that have some tough side...almost every girl out there are like that actually...be it Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese...most of the girl would only love to show the soft spot hehehe..until something happened...there you go...guyz have to accept that ladies is tough too Big Smile.

Maybe because the writer have to make it into 2 series only so some part were not explained properly...but still u can understand what exactly they were trying to show...but of coz I have to complaint too hehehe...some part just not right...Ly Thi Vu (kim Ok-bin) sister does not agree with her relationship with Park Eun-woo(Lee Dong wook) just because Park Eun-woo is Korean...but when Ly Thi Vu live with an axcuse to get marry with some Korean man who she don't even know why does she agreed? 

Well I have nothing much to say...no matter what, it was good in some part and lack in some part but still ok for me...

Spring Waltz














































































































































































































































































Hmmm...I'm supposed to say this is a good drama...it's only that the storyline is kind of slow but yet good...At last Yoon Suk ho's 4 seasons drama have reach the final. To tell the truth I only watch Winter Sonata and this...the other two...err...I'll think twice...no 100 times to watch it...not because it wasn't good but I think I can't accept it...so why do I watch this then? thanks to my brother who bought it for me...to show him that I'm so thankful that he bought it...I need to watch it...and make sure that I talk about it once in a moment...hahaha


What make this drama interesting is the cinematograpy...the theme songs...and the kids. I think out of all I am impress with the young Su-ho/Jae Ha...he makes me wanna watch it...and then I realized this kid have a real talent...he even act better that the other actors... seriously... they need to learn something from this boy.



I like the scene where adult Su-ho/Jae Ha(Seo Doyoung) first met Eun Young(Han Hyoo joo) in the train... their expression kind of cute there... well they both look cute together anyway... it just that their character does not suit with the young one... maybe a little but still something is missing there...



Other than that I realize that the camera was conquered by Philip (Daniel Henney)... well his good looking... sweet...bright... and yes I like him hahaha but I just can't help notice that there is more of Philip than Jae Ha... I wonder why..Well, at least Daniel did speak a lot of korean here...so that's impressed me too...coz I hate that he speak english in Seducing Mr. Perfect (well he should at least speak korean right?)... and his acting become more perfect too....



Song Lee Na (Lee So yon), I wonder why her... coz she look a little bit older than the rest... It will be ok if they have different ages but the thing is they don't... so that look just don't really suit her...maybe she have to change the way she dress...maybe she shouldn't wear the glasses...that glasses makes her look even older...


Huh...what more can I say...It just nice.

9 End Outs 2

















































The drama is about love of singles in their 30s. Hong Nan Hee is an ordinary worker at a publishing firm, she's a girl who always falls in and out of love since she was young until one day when she meets an old classmate, Byun Hyung Tae, who is a team leader of an advertising company again. Hyung Tae may seem to be a good catch in the eyes of many women but he's only a cowardly boy to Nan Hee whom he has grown up with. '9 End 2 Outs' is using the baseball theme to compare to the fates and lives of the people in love.


Huh...can't wait for the next episode...my mind keep thinking what gonna happened next...and everything started to be so interesting...I hope I can write more about it and tell you what the story about...but I need to watch it till the end to do that...hmm for now...I just can say that it's funny, interesting, cute and lovely...

Well Lee Jung Jin look good here too hehehe...the character is quite nice...and I like it...that goes the same to Soo Ae...perfect match I guess...

Old Miss Diary







Starring:


Yae Ji-won as Mi-jia


Ji Hyun-woo as Ji hyun-woo



and so on hehehe I can only mention them...



Well this movie is about a lady in her 32 years old (why is it suddenly everyone turnout to be 32?)... Choi Mi-ja struggles to find hope in her wretched life. She tries to grab any chance to make a living as a radio performer, but she gets few chances to show off her talent. She wants to have a great boyfriend, but almost all the men she dates dump her - without giving a reason. Her doomsday conclusion about her life is that there is little, if any, chance for her to live happily ever after with an extremely handsome man. How slim? Mi-ja’s ballpark figure is less than the survival rate of a plane crash or being hit by lightening.

**************************************************************

The best part of this movie was not about Mi-jia...well that's what I think...I really love the three siblings old lady character...who have found out that they have miss so many things...and realize that at their age there is something that they never really done and feel...

I have to rate this as a 3 from 5 star...Why 3? coz there is some plot that I just don't understand especially the relationship between Mi-jia and Ji Hyun-woo...how exactly their relationship begin and what make Ji Hyun-woo fall for Mi-jia...it was not clear enough for me and that's make me feel unsatisfied at all...(well, that's what I think...different person will get it differently...)

other than that it was good...funny, sad, hmm just good...

Bad Couple

























































Cast:



























Kim Dang-ja ~ Shin Eun Kyung




























Choi Gi-chan ~ Ryu Soo Young



























Na Dol-soon ~ Byun Jung Soo



























Han Young ~ Choi Jung Yoon







Choi Gi Chan is an University Botanic Professor with the "perfect genes." The drama is about an editor of a fashion magazine, Kim Dang Ja, who suddenly develops an urge to have her own baby despite opposing the idea of marriage. The story will talk about Dang Ja striving to look for a man with perfect genes to accomplish her mission. Gi Chan happens to be her "target" in order for her to accomplish her mission. The story later develops as Dang Ja must persuade him to do it without any commitments, which is a problem because Gi Chan doesn't believe in the idea of sex before marriage.

I should have watch Bad Housewife and Bad Family...If I only knew that it was the trilogy I have watch them first...but I only came up with Bad Couple at this moment so I'll watch the other two next time...

Actually, for me...it was a good drama...it shows how the adults think, act and settle whatever problems they've face...it shows everything in this drama...how a single women and success in her carrier think...what a housewife think about their husband, how a wife became a strong supporter to their family...how a women fall in love again...and so on...

If you're looking for something fresh or something lightly...I'll recommend Coffee Prince to you...coz this one it wasn't a teenagers love story or so on...it was about life, love and everything that involve around the adult life.

Coffee Prince 1st Shop






Argh...I know it's not done yet...but I can't help it...the drama was so great that make me wanna tell u how great it was hahaha...

At first I really thought that Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) don't want to get married that make her disguised as a guy...but it was not...In this drama the one that don't want to get married is Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo)...

Go Eun Chan talk, walk, work and even dress like a guy...and she first met with Choi Han Kyul when she's on her daily routine job as a food deliveries. They once again met by accident when Go Eun Chan trying to help Han Yoo Joo (Chae Jung Ahn) from a theft (turn out to be someone she knew) who was at that time were waiting for Choi Han Kyul. After the incident, Go Eun Chan lost her job and at the same time she have a lot of burden on her shoulder and everything has change for her.

Choi Han Kyul who are force by his mother and grandmother to settle down and started meeting different girl everyday in order for him to get married had mistaken Go Eun Chan as a guy from the first time they have met...and he even ask Go Eun Chan be his fake lover...and make all the ladies believe that he is a gay. They become closer even if they did not realize it...

CHK grandmother realize that it's not easy to let CHK stay and settle down so she once again doing it by force which is by handling over a cafe and make him work together with Hong Manager (he is an unbelievable person *urgh*)...and once again CHK and GEC work together and this time they work in a same cafe...

There is up side down for GEC...she have to pretend like a guy all the time. Falling in love with CHK cousin Choi Han Sung (Lee Sun Gyun) but again gave up when she realize that he already have someone and she is Han Yoo Joo...

Meanwhile CHK who silently love HYJ...started to have a different feelings to GEC...and that's actually freak him out...he can't even focus on his work and he even think that he had turn out into a gay...

When this two people become closer, have a fight, and started to keep a secret...they actually fall in love but in a difficult way...argh!!! 

At first, CHK trying so hard to convince himself that the feelings that he have towards GEC is not love but the harder he tried the feelings become stronger...trying to overcome the feelings he ask GEC to be his brother...and GEC accept it with an open heart...as long as they could be together anything will do...but still things does not happened as easier as they thought...CHK still can't avoid what he feels to GEC and it's actually hurt him more...so they have fight again and at last he told GEC that he don't care what GEC is... be a man or alien he still love her...

I would like to write what ever happened next in here...but I'm not gonna do that...go and watch it this is great...

sorry guyz...I know I have spoiled it out...but it's just a brief review if I can say so hahaha...

He is a self-absorbed person and he doesn't like bothering other people nor does he like being bothered himself. 

He is an independent person and he shows no interest in the lives of other people. But deep inside, he is a warm person.

There are many things to do in life but he doesn't want to be stuck with inheriting the family business.

After her father passed away, her family was able to make ends meet through the help of relatives for 8 years. She supports her family who live in a small one-room rooftop apartment.

He is Han-gyeol's cousin. He is a stubborn artist who has a romantic side and easy-going personality.

When he meets strangers, he greets them with a friendly smile and talks freely about a range subjects with them but he never reveals his inner feelings.

He stays away from the family business unlike his family members and relatives and finds himself as the outcast of the family, which makes him a lonely soul. He comforts his soul by turning to music.

He is in control of every aspect of his professional career and is good at what he does but due to his past relationship with Yoo-joo, he is not comfortable around woman. So when he meets Eun-chan, who has a pleasant smile and puts people at ease, he is immediately attracted to her...
