Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Annyeong everyone,

So. Sungkyunkwan Scandal. It was one of the many Kdrama's I would get to someday. Main reason to watch: Yoochun. Naturally. I'm the kind of person who hates ongoing dramas, because you have to wait an entire week to watch the newest episode. I hated it with Sunao ni narenakute ( JaeJoong's drama) which I still watched. I hate it with One Piece...which I still watch. And so I hate it with Yoochun drama....and I still watch it. I know...I'm weak.

But there was a big surprise for me with Sungkyunkwan Scandal. I actually liked more actors than just Yoochun. With Sunao ni, all I cared about was JaeJoong's character. But there are several actors who stole my heart in Yoochun's drama. This is gonna be one hellavu nice drama! I'm hooked

Ja mata ne mina!

Oguri Shun

Annyeong everyone,

I've made another grand discovery. Well, actually I kinda made it a long time ago. It's Oguri Shun (Tokyo Dogs, Gokusen I, Hana Yori Dango) Check him out:

He's quite the actor! I really like how he can go from delinquent to flower boy to cop. He knows how to do drama, comedy and even....awkward. Kekeke. Can't say I love him as much as Kame, though I think he's a lot better than Kame...sometimes. And while Kame is still boyish (me likey), Shun has proven in Tokyo Dogs he can play a man - well, he IS a man. Anyways, he pulled if off a lot better than Kame in Kami no Shizuku.

He's certainly a favourite of mine. And this is the only Asian dude so far (besides JaeJoong of course) who can pull off the blonde look. Seriously. But darker colours fit him best, since it's more natural. Same goes for JaeJoongie. Somehow JaeJoong got thrown into an Oguri Shun post...oh well.

Ja mata ne mina!

Happy birthday JaeJoong!

Annyeong everyone,

Today is DBSK's JaeJoong's birthday! He's turned 24 (or 25 in Korea) and that is a cause for celebration. So Happy Birthday JaeJoongie!!! I hope you have a wonderful day and I wish you good health and happiness for all the years to come!

The first time I saw JaeJoong was a little more than 5 months ago (yes, I'm new to DBSK and already addicted) on youtube. It was a live performance of Love in the Ice, which is also my favourite Japanese song. He was the very first of the boys who captured my heart with his beautiful voice. (YooChun came second)

He's still my favourite (though I love all five of them) because of his adorkable nature. Yes, he's also beautiful, but that's not as important as his personality right? His bond with the members also enchanted me (Changmin's one-touch love, YooChun's soulmate etc) and his laugh is soooo contagious. When he laughs, you immediately crack up too.

Anyways, JaeJoong is a force to be reckoned with.

So again I wish you a happy birthday JaeJoong and I hope you put your worries and troubles behind you, at least for today.

See for yourself just how amazing the DBSK boys are!!

Sayonara, mina.

You're Beautiful

Annyeong, everyone

I just finished watching the Korean drama You're beautiful and I really liked it. It was a hilarious drama, that's what attracted me. There were a lot of crying scenes, some were good...some took too long. I really don't like people who cry too much over something that is repeated. Tae Kyung and Jeremy had beautiful crying scenes, full of emotions, so me likey. But Go Mi Nam was crying almost every time she saw Tae Kyung and Yoo He Yi together...it became annoying after a while. Okay, I get it: the guy you love is with another girl and sure the first time you see them kiss hurts, but come on! You don't have to cry every time you see the girl!!!

Since it's a romantic drama, it has a standard concept: you have the heroine, the jerk and the good guy. (I'm not counting Jeremy here, seeing how Mi Nam sees him as a brother) The heroine hates the jerk and is contantly watched over by the good guy. Good guy gets feelings for the heroine, the heroine gets feelings for the jerk. The jerk is clueless at first but then realises his feelings for the heroine, but is too proud to admit it. And you can guess the rest.
In the end, the jerk almost always ends up the heroine and the good guy is the ultimate good guy by letting her go. LE FIN.

I liked this drama more for its houmor than the romance...mainly because I hate romantic dramas/movies etc.
It kinda reminded me of Full House so that was a big bonus. I think Lee Hon Ki is a genious when comic relief is concerned!! And manager Ma...I can't say anything but Euynk ha ha!
I've become interested in Jang Geun Suk, who plays Tae Kyung (a.k.a. the jerk) and I'm gonna watch his movie 'Baby and me' when I get home...or maybe I'll do it tomorrow.

I also plan to watch IRIS, mainly because of T.O.P...I like his voice and image in BigBang, so I want to see if he can act too. I recently saw BigBang in Come to Play...a korean variety show, and they were pretty hilarious. T.O.P didn't say as much and his rating was edited out...but I'm really interested in him (and his friendship with JaeJoong of DBSK) G-dragon seems a lot of fun too and I've seen Daesung a couple of times in Family Outing. I need to look up the other two members as well.

That's about it,

A penny for yer thoughts...

No make that a few euros...I need the money. But let's not discuss my (non-excisting) finances.

Annyeong everyone,

Still building my characters, trying to give all of them believable backgrounds and giving them plausible reasons to be the kind of people they are. It wasn't so hard to come up with backgrounds for the goodguys/girls, but the baddies are a little more difficult.

I have the tendency to give my baddies (and goodies...goodguys sounds better, doesn't it?) dark backgrounds, full of pain, death and sorrow; this to justify them becoming so corrupted and twisted. And usually I can pull it off just fine, this time however there is more than one baddie and the whole "I'm-evil-because-people-didn't-treat-me-well-and-my-parents-never-loved-me background" is soooo getting old.

Of course, I could just go with the baddie who is evil for evils sake (I personally love those guys who just want to destroy the entire world, just because it's so darn fun), but I don't really think readers would sympathise with him so easily, if I did that. Well, I'll figure out what to do eventually...

Since I'm a big fan of DBSK, inspired by their music and completely JaeJoong and YooChun biased (brotherly love hwaiting!!!!), I have given one of my main characters JaeJoong's name...well...it's his name, but not spelled like JaeJoong. I wanted to name another one YooChun with a different spelling, but I figured that would be too obvious. XD

He'll get his time to shine, just...not in this story. Or maybe I'll just incorporate him in the story along the way, when the JaeJoong character is no longer DBSK's JaeJoong, but my creation.

Well, I guess this is it for now.

Still, I'd like that penny if a few euros is too generous for you =P
