Annyeong-haseyo and peace be upon to yeorobun-deul!!!

It's been a very long time since the last time I've been putting my review here. So I'm here to share my thoughts on this drama. First of all, basically this drama is all about the life of teenagers in their 20's. They are connected through a girl's dorm named Belle Epoque and the story started with Eun Jae first day in the dorm. As the story grows, one by one of the dorm's member with their own characters encountered with Eun Jae. Started with Ye Eun who likes to treat others stuff as hers and if I'm not mistaken, followed by Yi Na who is not a college student and act like a rich but the truth is she broke. Next to come in is Jin Myung which I think is the most independent girl and has a matured appearance. Perhaps, because she knew that she wasn't "chaebol" enough to live as what she wanted to be. Finally, the rest of the stories is continue when Ji Won appeared and starting her lies about what had happened in the dorm before right when all of them were drunk. The funniest part is, her intention was to make a joke but they took it very serious until they believed it has connection with their past and present live. That's how the episodes go. Each of the episode will focus on one by one character. Besides their own story, peoples around them will try to enter their live such as their man.

Even this drama is not presented by the famous actors and actresses, actually it was great enough to impressed me with their witty scenes and life lessons. Each of them presented their character well from strong to weak characters. Everyone will encountered a moment where they will actually met new peoples and eventually the relationship will be growing regardless closer or apart. When you become closer to someone, without knowing you will try you best to help them. That is what had been shown in this drama when all of them trying to save Ye Eun from her ex.

So based on my thought on this drama I guess you can have a gross imagination of what was this drama all about. Yes, I recommend everyone to watch this and my favorite character is Jin Myung, the independent student who also likes Jae Wan played by Yoon Park!!! So yeorobun-deul, I guess I have to end the review at this point and I hope that I can write as always as I can. Until that time, please take a good care of yourself.

Peace be upon and Dasi Mannayo

love, Ha Pi Ja

THAT WIND THE WINTER BLOW (REVIEW)

Annyeong Haseyo and peace be upon to yeorobundeul.. As usual, I am here to share my review on the posted title k-drama. This time, I watched a sad drama yet it has a happy ending. Before I proceed to my review, let us get familiar with the casts and synopsis of this drama. The main leads are someone who I really love their act. This story is about a blind girl (Oh Young/ Song Hye Kyo) has been trapped by a guy (Oh Soo) who she believed to be her biological brother. This is because her real brother had a same name with the guy. She was parted with her mother and brother since she was 6 years old. Since then, she lived with her father and her assistant (Secretary Wang). The cause of her blindness was due to the negligence of Secretary Wang to treat her eyes from R.P immediately thus lead to the brain tumor. The fate between Oh Young and Oh Soo happened when Oh Young went to the address in the letter mentioned by her brother and actually that where the guy Oh Soo live. She was hoping to meet with her brother but unfortunate events happened where both her brother and father died on the same day. However, she didn't know about the death of her real brother. After her father cremation, her family lawyer (Attorney Jang) went to find her brother at his place. Before that, the guy Oh Soo was jailed by his scandal for a year and involved in a huge debt (7.8 million) with the gangsters (Jo Moo Chul and Kim). By the time Attorney Jang reached to the brother's place, the guy Oh Soo was there with a blood and met with Attorney Jang. Somehow, Attorney Jang succeeds in bringing the guy Oh Soo into Oh Young's place thinking that the guy is the real brother. Meanwhile, the guy Oh Soo intended to get 7.8 million from Oh Young.  Afterward, lots of events, memories, lies, truths happened between them. However, the events will slowly change the guy Oh Soo's attitudes and character towards his trash life and the guy Oh Soo also actually change Oh Young's perception about blind people such as to receive helps from other people. After all, this drama ended with a good ending with the success of Oh Young's brain surgery, the guy Oh Soo's bright life.

Arang and the Magistrate (Arang Satto Jeon) Review

Annyeonghaseyo and peace be upon yeorobundeul~~ I'm back with another drama which I never imagined to watch it. This drama is actually released back in 2012 with the concept of historical drama and frankly speaking, I'm not a fan of historical-typed of drama. However, this drama has opened my heart and eyes to watch another historical drama. Let me introduce a lil' bit of this drama. As you can see the title, the main characters in the drama were Arang or Lee Suh Rim (Shin Min Ah) and the Kim Satto or Kim Eun Oh (Lee Jun Gi) where their fate are being connected by the Jade Emperor (Yoo Seung Ho). Earlier, Arang who was a ghost has been revived into a human in order for her to find out the truth behind of her death. Meanwhile, Kim Eun Ho who can see ghosts met Arang in an old house on his way to Miryang to find his mother. Somehow, Arang knew that Satto can see her and made him as Satto in order for him to help her to find out who killed her. At first, Satto seem reluctant to help Arang, but his intention changed when he saw her mother's hairpin (Mo Shim Ja) on Arang's hair. He thought by helping Arang it will lead him to his mother and yes indeed. Therefore, they promised to help each other. Through lots of accidents and events, eventually, Satto fell in love with Arang and yes his character also was changed after he met with Arang from someone who was never concerned for others to someone who willing to help even when the ghosts approached him. Unfortunately, the biggest enemy of this drama was Satto's mother who was being possessed by Moo Yeong (Han Jung Soo)'s sister, Moo Yeon and actually the person responsible for Arang's death was Arang herself. However, since they already opened their heart to each other and stay together, Satto successfully made a deal with The Jade Emperor to let Arang live and not taking her memories by sacrificing himself to replace Arang but lucky enough, The Jade Emperor let both of them to live and stay together as human on the earth. So, at the end, they still live happily ever after. Other casts would be as below:
- Young Master, the one who killed the girls for Moo Yeon, killed Arang for the 2nd time (Yeon Woo Jin)
- Dol Sae, Satto's slave, and Bang Gool's Namchin - (Kwon Oh-Joong)
- Bang Ui Ri or Bang Gool, the shaman who at first couldn't see ghost but helped Satto and Arang a lot in a mystic way - (Hwang Bo Ra)
- Lord Choi, a person who was very annoying and trying to sack Arang and Satto and the whole Miryang - (Kim Yeon Geon)

In my opinion, maybe because I like to watch horror and scary kind of stories, so I really like this drama. Even they used a historical concept but the storyline was great. Historical only applicable to the culture, environment, language and costume but the storyline is the main dish for every drama. Another reason for me to watch this drama was, of course, the casts. I never know Lee Jun Gi is a playful type of actor at outside the scene. He is fun and outgoing type of guy and I admired him~~ As for Shin Min Ah, She is also one of my favorite actresses since Gumiho I guess. Overall, I really like the storyline of this drama.

Before I end up my synopsis and review, I got a chance to re-captured the monolog from Arang and Satto. Here we go~~
Arang's monolog:
Where a flower fell, another flower will bloom again and 
where the wind blew, another wind will come too
But, I'm going to hold on that first feeling forever,
If I go to the heaven, I will forget about you and,
If I go to hell, you will forget about me,
So anywhere, we would not recognize each other but still....

Continued by Satto's monolog:
With these feelings, I'm going to find you,
If you see a guy on a street who stops suddenly while brushing by,
When he sees you, when the tears well up, when the heart beats again then,
Please recognize it's me... Arang, Saranghanda~~~

See you guys in another drama. Until then, geonganghaseyo and haengbokhaeyo~~ annyeong ^_*
