Tokyo Time
Seoul Time
Annyeong everyone,
Korean dramas are like a virus. You just can't fight them. You just have to watch them and look for new ones after you're finished, even if it interferes with your school work. It's like an illness, you can't help it.
The same goes for the Korean drama I just finished watching 3 seconds ago: Beethoven Virus. My favourite Korean actor is in it (Jang Geun Suk) and the girl from IRIS, but I forgot her name. At first I wasn't sure if it was worth my time. It's about a ragtag of "commoners" who come together to form an orchestra and the evil conductor who is known as the "Orchestra Killer".
But in the end, I loved it.
They have many problems but overcome them. They might now always get along very well, but they overcome that too. It's certainly not a feel-good drama like Full house or You're Beautiful, but it has its moments.
Only the ending was a bit weird, because it leaves you wondering what happens next. But that tends to happen to the best of dramas. Beethoven Virus is one of the most outstanding dramas I've seen so far. I recommend it to everyone!
Now I'm going to focus more on Japanese doramas, because I've only seen one: Hotman. I'd like to see more of those, so no more Korean dramas for me for a while. (But I wanna see Chuno real bad!!!!)
Sayonara mina!

The time is now!
Annyeong everyone,
I wasn't going to post today but to quote Lee Hyori: "The time is now!" I should't postpone if I don't have to. Today I finally finished IRIS and though it was epic, the ending was very sad. I heard there is going to be a season two, but I have no idea how they want to pull that one of. Most of the important characters are dead. But who knows? It might be another epic drama.
I also went to my aunt and my cousins. I might have told you about it already; they've got an American bulldog puppy. He is the cutest thing ever! He was so enthusiastic and happy to meet us! He was very eager to play with us and cuddle with us, kekeke.
I had my doubts about him at first, but not anymore. I do hope he calms down a little when he's older and bigger, because he's already very strong! He almost pulled my arm off!
Oh! I totally forgot! Yesterday I watched a movie called Ip Man, about Chinese martial arts and the history of China. Too bad it had poorly translated subtitles..I hardly had any inkling of what was going on! I understood the dialogue alright, but the Chinese writings weren't translated. Anyways, I would strongly suggest it. Great movie.

The plot thickens
Annyeong everyone,
Today I'm going to talk about the most important process of many you go through when you're writing a novel. Plotting. Of course, worldbuilding, character building, revising, editing etc. are very important too but your plot is THE story.
Therefore, to me at least, plotting is very difficult. Because you can overplot or underplot. Overplotting means jotting down every little step and detail, resulting in a pile of at least 40 pages; so it makes no sense even writing the story because you practically already wrote it. Or you can underplot, meaning you write a global summary which leaves you with too many gaps and too many different roads to take. This causes you to get stuck when you write your story. So it's bad to overplot and underplot, but what should you do then?
The only way to go is to try and find a balance between the two. It's hard, I know. I'm still trying to find the balance myself. Plotting is also hard for me because I usually create my characters first and only when I finish them, I start thinking about a story to drop them in. Yeah again: I know, it's a bad habit. I'm sure I'll get it right someday ^^. The plotting me hwaiting!!!
BTW totally off topic:
After You're Beautiful and Baby and Me, I've been watching IRIS and I'm LOVING it. It's mystery stacked upon mystery upon mystery upon mystery. I'm especially loving BigBang's T.O.P. (SPOILERS) T.O.P. is a mean assassin, and I'm totally hating on his character for killing sweet Yuki, which is the reason I love him in this drama. And wavy-haired T.O.P...me likey =D
Here see for youself:
