Corner With Love

Another Taiwan drama that captured my heart... I used to watch Alan Luo hosting some entertainment series and singing... I like the way he sing...but I never thought that he will bring a different impression to me when he was acting... coz whenever he was hosting I found out that he's kind of a playful guy... should say he is good looking...

Here's the review about the drama:

Alan Luo as Qing Lang is a guy with a big talent in drawing trying to pursue his dream in Shanghai with a help from a guy that promise him a moon and a star...that he will be very recognized in Shanghai...but the things did not turn as he wish...where he being cheated by the man and left him without any money and place to go...he end up working on a restaurant as a cook master where everyone love him...  

Barbie Hsu is Xin Lei, who is loved by everyone...she live in a proper life...act like a princess, known for her beauty and grace, have a rich and handsome fiance. Her life is like a perfect life ever, have met Qin Lang while having an accident around the corner...

Qing Lang and Xin Lei have met as a person with so much different between them...one is a princess and the other is just an ordinary guys with dream to pursue...

The first met, stumble on an accident...they have a big fight end up in a police station and that's it...

Second time met, Xin Lei want to learn to cook a Taiwanese food to impress her future mother in-law...in order to do that she've been looking for a great taste of food and end up in the restaurant where Qing Lang is working. When she know it was Qing Lang...again they have a fight...Qing Lang did not agree to teach her but Qing Lang boss has accepted the payment...so still Qing Lang have to teach her...(What kind of boss is that LOL)... while on the learning session both of them still have a little fight but keep working together... both of them has created a new bond of relationship which both of them turnout to be a friend...well of coz with a lot of fight...

Things started to change when Xin Lei's parents announced to be bankcrupt and her parents leave her on her own without telling her where they have been... and her relationship with her fiance becoming shacky... and even hard for her when it's really over between her and her fiance... at this moment Qing Lang always come over and give her support... and once again they apart from each other when Qing Lang has decided to go back to Taiwan...

They've met once again in Taiwan, it end up that they really have to see each other again when Xin Lei have appeared in Qing Lang home area... that was because Xin Lei parents has told her that they have a villa in Taiwan and Xin Lei can go there and live there... the only thing that Xin Lei did not know is it was not a villa... but a simple small house and that house belongs to Qing Lang... 

Love started to build around them when they keep telling lies and continue to lied and without realize it they actually really love each other but none of them have a guts to say it out...

Last but not least... Guyz you have to watch this seriously recommended (^^)

200 Pounds Beauty

Ok as I write on my video site...this movie is really great...you would like to watch something like this...be open I'm not trying to tell you that plastic surgery is a good idea...but what I really want to say is...be happy to be who you are...

I think this is what the script writer trying to tell us especially for the moviegoers...I won't ask for much such as if the love life of Han-na after plastic surgery will be better or else...but what I really like is how a person can handle their life problem and manage everything as who there are...

If you're looking for something that could really move you... this is the movie...with the great song they put in...I think it was so great...go and watch it guys...believe me u'll love it.

Kang Han-na, played by Kim Ah-chung, is a fat and unattractive girl who sings back stage for a professional singer with a pretty face but no talent. Kang is so good-natured that she does phone-sex as a part-time job in order to earn medical expenses for her mentally-handicapped father.

Kang has a crush on music producer Han Sang-jun, played by Joo Jin-mo, but she fails to attract him because of her appearance. At his birthday party, Kang overhears Han tell the pretty-faced singer that Kang is just an item that is meant to be used when useful. Heartbroken after hearing this, Kang decides to undergo plastic surgery from head to toe before rising to stardom with the fake name of Jenny. In her first concert, however, Kang confesses everything, including the fact that she is not Jenny but Kang, and that she went through plastic surgery. Kang fails as Jenny, but succeeds as Kang Han-na, eventually gaining love from Han.

"200 Pounds Beauty" is a typical "cinderella story" with a happy ending. Against all odds, Kang wins the love of a handsome and promising prince even after Han comes to know the truth, and she becomes a popular singer. Kang has a good nature and pure heart as well as perfect appearances.

While watching the movie with its obvious ending, however, I was deeply impressed with Kang's "success" story, and, especially during the concert scene, I was not able to stop bursting into tears because of my sympathy and compassion for her.

Even though "200 Pounds Beauty" seems an old-fashioned movie, why was I so deeply moved after watching it? First, I think the movie has a good story, although some critics say that it is not a well-made film. Some comedy films try to excessively squeeze out laughs from viewers. However, "200 Pounds Beauty" is mainly focused on Kang's love for Han, adding some comic components into the right places at the right time. This film is a melodrama rather than a comedy, succeeding in bringing about natural and non-excessive laughs.

Second, the film gives some warm feelings, showing that the whole heart from the bottom of a good-natured person could be transmitted to another person. Of course, it would be improbable in reality for an ordinary girl both to have lots of cash to go through extensive plastic surgery and to become naturally beautiful like the main actress in the film. In addition, I'm not sure that one person's sincerity can be delivered to others in most cases.

While watching the film, however, I can escape from a reality into the world of warmhearted and humane friends, family, and lovers. It is always doubtful in reality whether the real world is cold, but I can for sure feel warm from the bottom of my heart in such a film that a good-natured person both wins love personally and gains fame socially. During and after watching this movie, I felt happy and "warm" from my heart.
