Attic Cat


~Living With The Attic Cat~
































Kim Rae Won as Kyung Min, is a final year law student who soon will have to sit on a final year test in order to be a lawyer. At first, he put all his might just to get attention from Hye Run (Choi Yun Jin) who face assemble his late mother. In order to do so, Kyung Min met with Jeong Eun who he thought was a best friend of Hye Ryun and even help her find a house and paid the rent. But all of his efforts put into vain when he himself have to moved out and stay with Jeong Eun.
























Jung Da Bin as Jeong Eun, is an ex-high school student in search for a job. She is an optimist person even when she live in a poor condition. When her family moved to another town she decided to stay in Seoul and stay at Kyung Min rented house. Her happy go lucky character got attentions from her boss.



The funny scenario begins when Jeung Eun & Kyung Min stayed together. They fight almost all the time and when things getting out control Jeung Eun will chased Kyung Min out of the house, and Kyung Min will immediately pack his things and leave the house. However, no matter how they hate each other they'll end up back together.









"Overall, Attic Cat (which is loosely based on an internet novel) is a fun and enjoyable drama to watch, and it has great onscreen chemistry between the two leads, Kim Rae Won and Jung Da Bin. Kim Rae Won proves himself as a potential upcoming actor in this drama. Jung Da Bin also proves her ability, after only appearing in minor roles before. The most wooden performance comes from Lee Hyun Woo. Acting as Hye Ryun's "oppa" (big brother, or older male friend), his performance never goes beyond the few facial expressions that he carries."

PriDe


Once again my fav. actor in a new hot drama...~PriDe~...I love this drama first of all of coz the actor...but after I watch it...there is so much message in there...I love how the team keep good friendship, loyal even trust each other and I love it when there help each other no matter what it cost...In the other side of the story it's a love story...


Kimura (Halu) is a hockey team captain (Blue Scorpion). He is respect by his team mate. For Halu Hockey is a serious things... he will take note almost everything about hockey,  hockey is his life. And to love and live his life fully for hockey he takes love as a game... a game which no one wins and no one lose.



Meanwhile Yuko (Aki) is a just an ordinary working girl, she spends her time without any anticipation except for her boyfriend to comeback after leaving her behind to further study overseas even when there is no sign of him to come back. 

One day, Aki and her friends went to a hockey tournament and they join the Blue Scorpion's winning party celebration. Aki who has no interest to be in such crowd leave the party and coincidently saw Halu is beaten by his team mate and that coincidently is how their story begins... 





"Nice story, nice actor and actress..."

"[Excerpt from Daily Yomiuri, Wm. Penn, January 22, 2004]: With Pride (Mondays at 9 p.m. on the Fuji network), Takuya Kimura has done it again. This time around he's Haru, an ice hockey star, and he sent the ratings puck zipping skyward in week one with the assistance of a sharply honed Shinji Nojima script. It's an entertaining romance with some serious undertones and lots of ice hockey action. Haru (spelled Halu on his uniform to provide a more exotic touch) idolizes his first coach, Anzai, played by Saburo Tokito, who, like Yukari, is also killed off in the very first episode. But he hovers over the story and Haru's life as he tries to cope with the new irritating coach played by Koichi Sato. One of the things Anzai has instilled in him is that he can't fall in love. Romance has to be a game during his serious playing career. He has no trouble following those rules until he meets Aki. It starts out as a game as his friends pick up her friends and he observes that she may be one of those rare, old-type Japanese girls who is not so quickly picked up or toyed with. This makes the game more enticing because that is the kind of woman he really wants. When Haru finds she is waiting for a long-gone boyfriend to return, he suggests they should just hang out together until then. Since neither wants to get serious, it will be safe for both of them. She sees through this line but agrees. This one will keep viewers coming back game after game. Four goals!"

My Tutor Friend

What I have in mind now: 
It' been a while then that I haven't keep in touch with my friend... sometime I really don't understand why.. .is it me or is it time? when it come to friendship i just felt that all this time I've been used... well with the name of friendship actually I am really good with this stuff...but do I really have to be the first to keep calling, asking, and even sms? well some of you out there maybe think I'm selfish because of those word...but am I being selfish all this time...I guess no body know...I'm not trying to spit out what i feel in this blog...it just when you're alone you'll need someone to talk... and I don't really hope it's one of my family coz there are too good to me.


Well enough about that...I actually promise to one of my friend to make some review about a korean movie...~My Tutor Friend~ well I guess all korean fan out there might have seen it but I still have to keep my promise right? well let me introduce the cast of ~MTF~...

Review:

The main cast for this movie is none other than the famous Kwon Sang Woo as Kim Ji Hoon and Kim Ha Neul as Choi Su Won. Both is categorized as trouble maker. For both trouble maker met as tutor and student doesn't sound good at all but this is how the interesting story begins.

Kim Ji Hoon who have been repeating high school 3 times in a raw is actually 21 years old the same age as Choi Su Won. Kim Ji Hoon real talent is having a fight. He managed to grab every girl by fighting. He have more enemies than friends, and with this talent his father finally threatening to send him back to the USA if he continues to get into trouble with fighting and bad grades. To avoid being sent back to America, Ji-Hoon needs to get at least a 50% on the upcoming mid-term exams. The only problem is that his usual average mark was much lower than that. This is when Choi Su Won is needed.


Choi Su Won have trouble tutoring Kim Ji Hoon who shows no interest in learning. Su Won doubt if Ji Hoon will pass but with their effort and hard working (if I can say so) to their surprised Ji Hoon managed to get himself 50.1% and yes he passed. 


Love begins to blossoms at least for Ji Hoon, who suddenly become so protective to Su Won. Su Won in the other hand trying to deny how she really felt turn things back to the zero point. 

Ji Hoon still have to face with his old flames and enemies... Deciding between Girlfriend and Su Won it was easy for him... of coz Su Won is what he really need. After all the fighting scene Ji Hoon and Su Won end up being boyfriend and girlfriend. 
 
Do I enjoyed the movie? 
yes very much. 

How will I rate it?
4 over 5

Reasons?
Well.... I have the same complaint as what other moviegoers thought.... you may read the comment that I bold below. And  thats how I really felt.


From wikipedia: 

My Tutor Friend topped the box office for five weeks straight. Viewers immediately loved the movie which was similar to My Sassy Girl released in 2001. While this film may not be an example of a classic in Korean cinema, it possesses a definitive Korean charm. The film leans towards being a romantic comedy combined with action sequences which keeps the movie exciting. Fans enjoyed the film for the two attractive lead characters and their chemistry. Ha-Neul Kim is said to be quirky and sweet while Sang-Woo Kwon is very rebellious and is attractive. The warm reception of My Tutor Friend was not universal, and there have also been negative reviews. Some critics believe that the second half of the film seemed forced with a slower pace compared the first half. Many reviews also criticize this film for having an average plot, characterizing it as merely another teenage high school film.

Lovers In Paris

Huh...quite busy this day but I'm not forgetting about my blog...sometimes it's kind of satisfied when you know you got something to rely on and it's always there. Ok, let's check out what is my new favourite drama out there...

~Lovers In Paris~

Lovers In Paris is a modern Cinderella story. A story revolves around a poor girl who fall in love to a rich guy. Sound familiar enough to us. The love story makes it interesting enough when the girl juggled between two people who means a lot to her. One as a lover and the other one as a friend.

Kim Tae Young met Han Ki Joo and Yoon Su Hyuk in Paris and the three of them developed their feelings from friend to love. Choosing between 2 men who apparently have much stronger relationship than she thought make it even difficult for her. Never thought that she will be the wall between the 2 men. 

Love, friendship, family, jealousy and loyalty become the subject in this drama.


Lastly, it casted the most excellent and most promising Korean stars of today...



Park Shin-Yang (Han Ki Joo)


Kim Jung Eun (Kang Tae Young)

Lee Dong Gun (Yoon Su Hyuk)
