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.
Review's credit goes to: Yoo Seung-gi (poppingp)
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.

HanaZaKaRiNo KiMiHiTaChiHe



Argh! I'm gonna be a little bit crazy now.... I've bought Hanakimi VCD last 3 week...and it was only for the 1st part and the 2nd part was still not coming out...but of coz I won't wait that long just to watch it... 

I managed to finished it & it was great... okay again this one is good too... I don't know about manga but when I watch every taiwan drama that taken from manga... I guess those manga must be so good coz it was writen so well... whatever it is I enjoyed watching this drama... Hanazakarino Kimihitachihe... wargh! first time saying those 2 words I keep spelling it wrong... and now It seems so easy...

Here is the synopsis:

This drama was about a girl called Lu Rui Xi (Ella), she disguised as a boy and entered to a boy school just to get neared with her Idol Zuo Yi quan ( Wu Zun). Rui Xi never thought that she will end up staying in the same room with her idol and still she have to pretend and act like a guy. Staying in a boy school wasn't as easy as she thought coz she have to be extra careful and make sure that no one around her knows that she is a girl. Since Rui Xi is a happy go lucky kind of person and considered as cute in the school...Rui Xi has no problem in making friends...beside Yi quan is one of the best man around her...Will Rui Xi succeed with her mission? what gonna happened to their relationship? what was Yi Quan thought about Rui Xi? it was nice drama...

The Cast:
Ella Chen from S.H.E take the role as Lu Rui Xi. Rui Xi is the lucky girl that transfered from U.S to Taiwan just to get neared with her idol. Lucky enough that she could share with her idol the same class and the same room too.
Ella characteristics that look like a boy really suits the role...so I don't get it when people keep saying she's not preety or whatever...for me, as long as she's Ella...that was great...(ok I'm a big fan of her so I don't care what people say's)
Wu Zun from Fahrenheit aka Fei Lun Hai take the role as Zuo Yi Quan. School athlete. He is usually quiet but defends those he cares about. Even that he knew about Rui Xi secrets...he kept it to himself, protecting her without Rui XI know why he is doing that. All that Yi Quan want is to make sure that Rui Xi gonna stay beside him.
He got the look that make every ladies out there want to keep him in their house...hahaha. Whatever, acting in this drama has make Wu Zun the most wanted guy...I can see his face everywhere...he is from Brunei... so I guess Brunei people... you guyz are lucky enough to have this star.
Jiro Wang from Fahrenheit (Fei Lun Hai) as  Jin Xiu Yi. He's a soccer player. Since Rui Xi had entered the school Xiu Yi begin to questioned his sexuality interest...he even thought he was a gay and started confessing his feeling to RUi Xi.
This guy really make the whole story look quite interesting... he just too funny but cool... can't help it but I like when Jiro do that stupid smile...
Tang Zhi Ping as Mei Tian, the school health official. He is the person who know Rui Xi too well. He even know that Rui Xi is a girl because he say's his a gay and he was so sensitives to female so it was easy for him to recognized her...Mei Tian had became Rui Xi official counselor and a saviour (even he never really approved that)...No matter how hard he tried to runaway from Rui Xi...at last he still have to sit and listen to whatever that RUi Xi gonna say's...
I like his role, should I say he look beautiful too hahaha... I feel like I'm gonna faint whenever he started touching his hair like a lady hahaha... can't help it with the pink T that he wear... hahaha he's so gay...
Tang Yu Zhe as Liang Si Nan, leader of the dormitory No.2. So flirtatious...he is Mei Tian nephew but both of them keep it as a sceret.
nothing much to talk about him...I just think he suit the role... well good looking of coz... that's why he really suit with the character... the way he keep saying that he really are talented given to be a modeled coz of the look... wah! so cute.
There is many other cast of coz...but can't put them in here...too many of them. but here are the nice captured between Ella and Wu Zun that I really like...and the others too....
Extra Pic:
Until then...

"whatever you want, you'll got it...just keep on trying..."

My Thoughts on: Goong S




I've read so many complaint about Goong S...and someone even say's to me that Goong S will never be better without the original cast...I'll agreed with that statement but only if the Goong S was the sequel...but in this case, Goong S was totaly a different story of the royal family. Thinking of the different between these two drama I'll be even glad that the original cast of Goong didn't play in it...why? because I couldn't bare to rewatch how they started their love...

Well here I write up the synopsis of Goong S...just to make it clear that Goong S was not the sequel...




Goong S:


The Queen (played by Myung Se Bin) is in her early 30s but still unmarried. Because of this, in a condition where there cannot be a reduction in the number of successors to the throne, the present prince (the 1st successor) suddenly past away and leaves a vacancy in the line of successors.

In order to fill in the line they've start their searching mission for the secret prince and finally find Lee Hoo (played by Se7en), who has been living outside the palace.

Lee hoo is the son of a prince and his mother who died early, had departed with his father and left the palace, hiding the fact that she was already pregnant. He does not know that he possesses royal blood and has lived, working as a delivery boy at a chinese restaurant.

Although usually, he has wang ja byung (?) (prince disease), he had never dream of entering the palace and receiving royal lessons.

Lee hoo, the unbelievable no. 1 successor to the throne and the perfect Lee Joon (played by kang doo) will bring tension to the drama as they fight over the position.

After Lee Hoo enters the palace, an important place will be the royal academy. It is a place for members of the royal family as well as descendants of wealthy families.

The drama will also be about the romance between the characters.



































































Se7en ~ Lee Hoo

His blood flows the royal blood, but Lee Hoo doesn't know it. Not knowing that he's a prince, he works at a Chinese Restaurant called 'The Palace' as a delivery boy. He looks at everything in a positive aspect and is an optimist by nature. Though he lives in poverty (poor), he lives freely with a simple mind. Things started to change when he's visited by an unknown visitor.





































Heo Yi Jae ~ Yang Soon-Ae

Everyone in the neighborhood knows Soon-Ae as an impracticable girl. She thinks preciously of her fraternal twins. It was her dream to be able to work in the palace, but after knowing that the prince she will serve is the boy that she grew up with together as a child, her dream begin to shake and everything seems completely out of control.







































































Park Shin Hye ~ Shin Sae-Ryung

Honor and power, Sae-Ryung grew up in a wealthy family. She has never lost first place/spot at school (meaning she's very smart)…she has skills and the looks of becoming prince's wife. She always had the ambition of becoming a royal princess. However, the prince that she has always imagined of is completely different when she see's Lee Hoo's sudden appearance. A change comes to her way.
Kang Doo ~ Lee Joon

To become a prince, he recieved training as a mastery elite. He's a great candidate. Lee Hoo's appearance makes Lee Joon get farther away from becoming a prince. He's a perfectionist and charismatic. But in the inside there is a dream that he want to achieve, there is things he want to pursue, things that no one know.

~Daisy~






Daisy was a sad but beautiful love story...from my point of view this movie was great...the background music was so calm...the scene was great...I should say that...no matter what kind of scenes it was still you'll feel the love that tied between the three character...

This movie started with the beatiful scenes of Amsterdam and a professional asassins doing his usual task (killing people of coz)...started with a story of how this man started to build his new interest with daisy which show part of his different character...from a bad person to a person with soft hearted...Park-yi (Jeong Woo-seong) have a very special feeling to a street painter Hye-young (Jeon Ji-hyeon), he been delievering Daisy to Hye-young as her secret admire...watching Hye-young from far side was his daily routine...untill a man that known as Jeong-woo has came in and everything had change...

Hye-young has always love painting...she even dream to have her own showroom gallery... received a daisy from someone mystery has touch her heart...she even falling for this unknown person...which she refer as the daisy man...until she met Jeong-woo (Lee Seong-jae)...a person that she mistaken to be the daisy man...Hye-young met Park-yi when Jeong-woo suddenly disappear after a shooting incident...

Jeong-woo was an elite interpol agent...accidently met Hye-young while doing his investigation...Jeong-woo at first didn't realize that Hye-young has mistaken him with someone else untill Hye-young told him about the daisy man...to make sure that everything was under control, Jeong-woo keep pretending that he is the daisy man...and fall for Hye-young while on the task...


It's a great movie...untill next update...StaY CooL!

My thughts on: Goong aka Princess Hours




It's been a while now...having a limited time to update this blogs make me miss so many things...however there is so many movies and dramas recently that I would like to share in here...but for 2007...I'll start with Princess Hours aka Goong.

I know...there is so many reviews about this drama out there but what I need to do here is just share what I thought and which part of scenes or dialog that captured me more...

At first I never really care about this drama...maybe it's because the actors were unfamiliar to me...but I decided to bought the dvd just to figure out what is it all about...and the results...I love it...Big Smile

Getting married to someone that you didn't know seems to be the hardest things ever happened...but falling in love with the strangest was the hardest part especially when you can't say it out...well of coz if there is no obstacle...it's not a love story...there is so many funny part and sad at the same times...it shows how royal family handling things in their life. When everything is under control...what happen when someone break it.

For me the best dialog in this drama were the one where Shin Chae-gyung (played by Yoon Eun-hye) hugs Crown Prince Lee Shin (Joo Ji-hoon) and says "I'm sorry, I don't want to get divorce anymore, I won't say I want to live the castle anymore...I can breath in the castle it's all because of you, so I hope I could stay beside you." Wargh...cry that's part make me really sad...

But some part were too boring where there is too many dialog between the royal family...ok...I know they were trying to show us the situation of the royal family but sometimes I think...I've been watching this drama just because of those love story hehehe...Big Smile

Anyway, it's a worth watching drama...and since there will be the new Prince Hoo aka Goong S...I won't miss that one too...there is so many fans out there that didn't like the idea of changing the actor but for me...that's a good step to be taken coz we don't want korean drama to be just like those hollywood drama which is dragging to too many seasons...sometimes people will get bored too...for me if there really want to do the sequel...it's best if they make it into movie and end it there.

Goong S for sure will be hits too..coz Se7en was in there and the series was on air now some people says that it's cool...no matter who will be the star in Goong S...I believe the director was the person who will creat the situation alive...as long as the director know what he was doing then the drama will be blast...


Here some photo for you to enjoyed...untill next update..."Be Happy and stay cool".
