Pasta

Go team Italy!

What an awesome cute cast. Even though they're just a side cast, they're all so drool worthy!

No Min Woo was a drummer from Trax. You know how hot drummers are. He's totally my kind!
Hyun Woo is the cutest guy in the drama. He's so cute, you really really want to pinch his cheeks.
Does such hot guys really exist in the kitchen?

Those are the only two things that are great and the only things I could remember. Kidding, but I did not even finish Pasta. Mainly, its because I don't like ajusshi kind of main character, so he doesnt catch much of my attention. And once again, its the pathetic female role which I'm so bored of. I know it works, like in Personal taste. But they should stop make the female roles look so pathetic!

"Pasta" covers the dreams and success of a young woman who aspires to become an elite chef at La Sfera restaurant.

Seo Yoo Kyung started her career as a kitchen assistant at La Sfera restaurant. She eventually works her way up to become a chef.

Choi Hyun Wook is the top chef at La Sfera restaurant. He studied the culinary arts in Italy and started out as a chef assistant at a hotel in Sicily. Hyun Wook eventually worked his way up to become the most widely recognized Italian chef in Korea.


Right now, I'm craving for a nice plate of Pasta.

Ratings: 6.5/10. Watchable, for the cuties and the awesome pasta professional cooking.

I love Kame! I love Perfect Girl Evolution, the manga and the anime. There wasn't any reason not for me to catch this. I remembered telling everyone how excited I was over this show. It was slightly disappointing over the wrong casting of the characters, i know that its hard to find a perfect kyohei, but I still really enjoyed it!

Kame is amazing, but he is just not Takano Kyohei. As much as I love him, its just weird that he's kyohei. I'm not complaining, but the Kyohei in the manga is perfect. So perfect that he could not lead a proper life because of his looks. I really miss Kame and his dramas so much. (sigh, i love everything about him)


Oomasa Aya as Nakahara Sunako was surprisingly good. I seriously thought she would definitely not pull off the role after seeing her in Buzzer beat and mei chan no shitsuji. But she did amazingly great as Sunako.

Tegoshi Yuya as Yuki. He was plain gross. No offence to his fans, he was one of my favourites in NEWS. But he overdid it as Yuki.

Uchi Hiroki as Oda Takenaga. I'm upset over the fact that he was kicked out of NEWS, he's so handsome!

Blessed with good looks, Takano Kyohei, a college student, is always suffering from the unreasonable behaviour of customers who want him and the sexual harassment of his store manager. Because of his hot temper, he loses his head on this occasion and is fired from his part-time job. Then one day, the glamorous owner, Ms Nakahara proposes, “I’ll give you free board-and-lodging if you can turn my niece, Sunako, into a lady!” Kyohei and Toyama Yukinojo, Oda Takenaga and Morii Ranmaru, the other guys living together in the same boarding house, are enthusiastic, but the person who appears before the four of them is a spooky girl whose hair covers her face and who loves horror and vampires. And so, their tumultuous communal life begins


Ratings: 8/10. Not amazing, but it gets high points for developing the romance between the two leads. ARHHH the kiss the kiss the kiss that you rarely see in jdrama.

Bloody Monday 2

Being a huge fan of Bloody Monday, I was very excited about Bloody Monday 2. However, it left me very disappointed. The cast was great as usual, especially Haruma Mirura, he really was amazing as a young budding actor. Narimiya Hiroki also never failed to leave a great impression for the show. They were the reason why i continued on with the show. It would have been REALLY dull without both of them.

Seriously, season 2 of Japanese seasons really sucks. They should have just stopped at season 1.

Here's the sypnosis,

After a biological terrorist attack kills off the population of a Russian town; Japan's Public Safety Special Third unit, code name THIRD-i, believes that the terrorist organization responsible plans to unleash the same virus known as Bloody X into Tokyo. Subsequently, THIRD-i recruits the help of genius hacker Takagi Fujimaru to find out what happened in the Russia. However, as Fujimaru becomes involved, he soon finds out that he is in over his head and that the terrorist groups influence reaches not only his school but even the police. Fujimaru must now rely on his skill as a hacker to unravel the organizations sinister plot and find out the truth behind "Bloody Monday."


Really weak terrorist plan, the hacking wasn't exciting anymore. The ultimate bad guy was super random (just like the first season). There wasn't a single exciting episode as compared to Season 1, which I mentioned that every episode was more exciting than a blockbuster movie.


Ratings: 5/10. Blah, still watchable. but nothing that jolted me off my seat.
