Cinderella Sister

Almost missed posting this.. too long, too long...

Sypnosis(dramawiki)
A modern day adaptation of Cinderella with a twist as our Cinderella, Goo Hyo Sun, is loved by everyone whereas her stepsister, Eun Jo, has a dark past and struggles with the fact that her mother starts to care more for Hyo Sun than her.

I love the storyline for this! Modern Cinderella story, but the reverse version about the sister.. kind of. Moon Geun Young is a really good actress. I love how she maintains only one expression throughout the show with knitted eyebrows, you could see the sorrow behind that sad face. It was her first role acting such a sad scene.

And for the first time, I liked Taecyeon (2pm), his accent is so cute and for the first time, i found his muscles attractive when he protected her.

Ratings: 7/10 Have no feelings for the male lead. that is sad.

Playful Kiss

*groans* kim hyun joong's bad acting gives me a bad headache.

It was so bad that I had to read the manga to understand what he was trying to portray! please go back to SS501.. and stop acting..
Sorry KHJ fans, no offense but he seem to get worse from BOF. he should get acting lessons from his friend, micky.

Based on the popular manga, Oh Ha Ni is a clumsy student who falls for the perfectionist, Baek Seung Jo. However, Seung Jo is indifferent towards her and rejects her love. When Ha Ni's house collapses, she and her father moves into his long-time friend's house. It turns out that Seung Jo is the friend's son and Ha Ni is given the opportunity to be near the guy she loves. Will she be able to move Seung Jo's heart?

I really like the storyline, I know I'm slow on this, but I'm probably going to start on the TW version soon.

Seung jo is not very attractive!! At times his clothes doesn't look very flattering on him, his hair ohno doesnt suit him too. and kim hyun joong needs more sleep!




Ratings: 5/10. I finished it within two days, not going to bother with the youtube specials. Group 8 is disappointing this time round.

Baker King

One of the long epi drama I've watched in a long time.

Usually, I would be really reluctant to start anything with more than 20 episodes. I wonder made me try this show, maybe i was hungry.. but here goes..

Sypnosis (dramawiki)
Kim Tak Goo is the eldest son of Goo In Jong, the president of Samhwa Enterprise, a legend in the baking industry. Although he is an extremely talented baker and seemed destined to succeed his father as president, Goo In Jong's family plotted to rob him of his inheritance because he was born to In Jong's mistress. Tak Goo's determination to become number one in the baking industry drives him to rebuild his career from scratch despite the many trials he faces.

Yoon Shi Yoon is a pretty young actor to be the main of a pretty big production film. And he was Hongki(FT island)'s good friend. Plus I have to mention that the viewership for this show was the highest ever. Peak=50.8%, Avg=38.6%. Now that is really high in korea.. The only strange thing was the casting of Eugene, who is my favourite Korean actress. Now the two main male leads are young, in their very early twenties and though Eugene is still beautiful, they look weird together. In other shows, she's already acting as a mom.

Back to the story, I was bawling my eyeballs out when Tak Goo finally met his mom after 12 years. it was one of the saddest scene I've seen in a long time. Now, that's the highlight of the whole show. Even towards the ending, the show was still going great, now i understand why the rating was so high, yet it was never really popular compared to idol-dramas.


Ratings: 8.5/10 A little too draggy and does not require 30 episodes, 20 episodes would very much cover the entire story.

Bad Guy

oh no, it had been awhile since I watched this.. this is bad when i stop blogging for a long time..


Sypnosis(from dramawiki)
Shim Gun Wook (Kim Nam Gil) plots revenge against the Haeshin Group, a large corporation to whom Hong Tae Sung (Kim Jae Wook) is the heir.


ohkayyy. that's short! HAHAH

The thing special about this drama is that it has a very attractive dark story which draws you in. It doesnt make you feel like finishing it very quickly but you'll want to watch it slowly to understand and ponder upon it. That was how I felt when I started Bad Guy. Was my first time watching Kim Nam Gil, he was drawing quite a lot of attention then and I was wondering what was so attractive about this not so attractive looking male lead... sure enough, after watching him act, he really is quite attractive.

It has a strange dark twist in it which is lacking in kdramas these days. Because he's abandoned by this rich family, the story revolves around him plotting revenge on the family. He seduces the older sis, and the younger sis, making both of them fall in love with him. But I find it damn strange that, because they grew up together as siblings when they were younger, how weird and incestuous is this. he then falls for Moon Jae In (Han Ga In) while she tries to seduce the rich son(Jae Wook). Both female and make lead falls for each other even though their purpose is to seduce the rich of the family. that's interesting. rich boy (Kim Jae Wook) is so hot. end of summary. hhhaha

Ratings: 7.5/10. A nice and refreshing storyline however, not much romance loveline because the story seemed too dark and twisted to have one.

My Girlfriend is a nine-tailed fox

Another Lee Seung Ki drama. He seem to always get good roles and good dramas. And true enough, the drama was good!.... at first.

Sypnosis (from drama-wiki)
On one day after Cha Dae Woong ran away from his grandfather, he accidently freed a nine-tailed fox who was closed in a painting for about 500 years. He didn't realize what he has done, until the Gumiho (nine-tailed fox),who took the form of a beautiful woman, appeared in front of him. Dae Woong was really frightened that he ran away from her and fell on the riverbank.Since he was severely injured, Gumiho came to save him and gave him her most precious bead to share with him the mystic fox' strength, as she owes him her freedom. Gumiho then asked him if he can help her become human and how to act like one. In return, she allowed him to use her bead for him to shoot for his dream action movie despite his body's severe condition. As time goes by, their mutual relationship grew deeper as they start to fall for each other.


A very modern unrealistic fairytale. I'm not a fan for fairytale kind of non-human storyline, so I was pretty reluctant to start this, but seeing that it's a Lee Seung Gi show and that I really liked Shining Inheritance, I gave it a shot. Episode 1 to 13(?) was awesome.. and then I stopped. It's strange that I didn't even feel like finishing the show. It wasn't that bad, but the story just dies, and I wasn't the only one who gave up on the show, another 2 of my friends did the same thing too, and we didn't even plan it.

That aside, I never knew Shin Min ah was such a cutie! She had a lot of trademark moves which made me laugh a lot. Seung Gi was kind of disappointing this time round compared to Shining Inheritance. I didn't feel much chemistry between them in the beginning stage, it slightly got better but it still didn't feel like they had much.

As for No Min Woo, he's HOT!!!! he's one of the cutie, hotie in Pasta. And you wouldn't believe that he used to be the drummer for rock band Trax, another hotness plus point. He had more chemistry with Shin Min ah compared to Seunggi, but I have a suspecting feeling that he's gay in real life. like he's tooo perfect.. hahaha!



Ratings: 6.5/10 I can't seem to understand why isit that Korean dramas these days goes downstream towards the end of the show. I haven't enjoyed a kdrama all the way to the final ep in a really long time! I recommended this to many people but I couldn't even finish it myself. argh. it's a forgettable drama.. that's sad.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal

MICKY BEING IN A DRAMA HELPED ME FIND THE MOOD TO START DRAMA-BLOGGING AGAIN!

Love the show, love the cast! however, not too sure about the era of the drama.

Sypnosis (drama-wiki)
Sungkyunkwan Scandal is set in Sungkyunkwan University in the late Joseon era during the reign of King Jeongjo, revolving around the exploits and love stories of four youths. When her younger brother's illness worsens and their family is in danger of being evicted from their house for lack of money, Kim Yoon Hee enters the school under his name, disguised as a boy in her desperation to support him. There, she becomes friends with the intelligent and upright Lee Sun Joon, the playboy Goo Yong Ha and rebellious Moon Jae Shin.

This show is awesome! Never thought that I would enjoy a historical drama. And yes it is another one of those girl disguise as a guy for one of the reason. Ignore the repeating trend, the storyline makes up for it.

Cast:
Micky Yoochun

It's his first drama and he had gotten so much love out of this, you can really tell that he works hard for it while watching the BTS(behind the scenes). He was quite stiff in the first few eps, but his emotions exploded towards the end, his crying scenes made me teared too. ily micky!

Park MinYoung

I love her in all of her projects, though they aren't very major, she managed to make quite a big impression on me. One big example is her being in Bigbang's Haru Haru MV. I betcha dunno! she's the girl who dumped GD for TOP because she was dying of cancer. And, she was in I am Sam, with Top again! Why does she get to film with all the cute idol boys!!!! i'm jealous but i still like her.
Comparing her and Park Shinhye(You're beautiful- Go Minam), I think I would choose MinYoung because she's a much natural actress. Sadly, she's really under-rated..

Song Joongki

The prettyboy who is currently hosting Music Bank and a regular in Running Man. I never really paid much attention to him until after Sungkyunkwan Scandal, I'm really noticing him now! Not only pretty, he's really cute as Goo Yongha in SKK! Brainy, like how he is in Running Man. I love how smart he really is behind the pretty face. He's known as the brain of Running Man, and I never knew that he can act! PD-nims, please give him a bigger role next time! Its sad that he doesn't get a love-line in the show.

Yo Ah In

Surprise cast! He's almost my no. 1, almost winning Micky. I couldnt even remember that he was the young dude in Antique, he's changed soooo much! Manlier, handsomer, and most importantly, I love him all rugged and unshaven in SKK. He's not that attractive when he's all prim and proper as a scholar. He has a nickname of 'crazy horse' because he's doesn't give a sh*t about a single thing in school (the most prestigious school in that era, where you are the king's scholar) but he's a huge softie. awww, dont this kind of character melt your heart. He's a lovable bear who seems harsh on the outside but so caring and considerate. Moon Jaeshin, i'll choose you over SunJoon, much as I like Micky. and sidetrack, he's got such sexy lips!




Ratings: 7.5/10 too much of the historical thing that make me bored.

Personal Taste

When I first started Personal Taste, I was absolutely in love with the show. It felt like "finally a nice show in ages...."

A very light-hearted, hilarious romantic comedy with a super ultra cutie. Lee Min Ho, famously a.k.a Gu Jun Pyo. Seriously, who would have thought he was so cute without the perm. And surprisingly, I liked the female lead, (which i usually don't).. Son Ye Jin is too cute for her age, and quite amazingly, despite the huge age gap, they look compatible.

The front episodes was hooking, it was so hilarious that I could not let myself go to sleep.

Here's the plot:

Jeon Jin Ho is a straight guy who pretends to be gay in order to become Park Kae In's roommate. His hobbies include organization and ironing, and he’s known for his stoic poker face. He’s a stickler for cleanliness, but he also has a talent for figuring out a women’s feelings. Kae In is very trusting even though she has a habit of being betrayed. However that doesn't stop her from giving people the benefit of doubt and Jin Ho is no different. How will Kae In react when she finds out that her gay roommate is not actually gay at all and that he has fallen for her?


Lee Min Ho mistaken as gay??! HOW SAD! At that point in time, I really thought how nice it would be to have a gay bestfriend. Their interactions with each other were so cute.
feels like..

girl : "i like u, but ur gay.."
guy: "i like u, but u think i'm gay.."

awww, and i gotta mention the kiss. the kiss is the best i've ever seen in all kdrama history! the sweet lovey dovey scenes are the best too, i melted so many times. sigh. reasons why i dont need a bf.

until.. it went downcast so quickly that it turned really bad. It was probably because of the tv station strike that the episodes behind were so bad!!


ratings- i'm gonna split them.

ep 1-12 = 9.5/10
ep 13-16 = 4/10

overall: 6.75/10 still very watchable for cutie lee minho.
