DalJas Spring ~ Kill Bill Parody

DalJa vs SeonJu... Fight!!!

SeonJu, never really wears pants - ever. But the item to be sold was pants. Classic white, linen pants. SeonJu was adamant on not wearin it, but DalJa insist she has to wear it, since it was useless to sell the items if the show host is not even wearing it. Who will win? DalJa or SeonJu... fighting!!!

ROUND1

달자: 야~ 잘난척 좀 그만해!!!
DalJa: Yah~ Stop showing off!!!

선주: 바지는 안입어. 내 다리 각선미가 안드러나잖아.
SeonJu: If I wear pants, then my leg line wont show.

달자: 진정한 각선미는 바지로 안가려지는 법이죠.
DalJa: But if you quit, then you know your image will dissappear too.

선주: 감각안나 모델 뭐.
SeonJu: No sense in fashion.

달자: 단 마다 머리줘.
DalJa: One unwanted brain.

선주: *Unfashionable Bear*

DalJa: *Worn-out Fox*

달자: 나의 내공을 무시하지마라.
나이는 장난으로 먹는게 아냐!
DalJa: Dont you underestimate me, I'm not just growing older.

DALJA~ wins! KO!!!

ROUND2

DalJa was sent off by her boss to fetch the person in charge of the item since his car broke down, but DalJa, at her age doesnt even have a sense of direction and it takes her two hours to get to where she;s going, especially if she's driving... in the end she ran at a dead-end and the team had to sell *rice-cookers* instead. She was scolded by her boss and was very mad at her. SeonJu then appeared.

선주: 참 좋은 회사야. 그러고도 안 짤리는 거 보면..
SeonJu: This is a good company, after what happened, I thought you will get fired.

SeonJu~ Bbasya!!

달자: 물론.. 나이먹었다고 시련까지 끝나는 건 아니다..하지만 우리의 달자.. 고생한 보람 있었다!!
자신을 위로하러 온 신세도.
DalJa: Yes, just because you get older doesnt mean you never get hurt.

SeonJu wins by her arrogant remark...! KO!

Korean Stars ~ Self Cam

It's called 셀카 in korean. Self-Cam, meaning you take a pic for yourself. I think it's cute, I mean everybody does it, dontcha. I mean, I do it all the time. Haahaa.

Most of the pics here, I got from thier cyworlds. Heehee. Yea, I can be a *stalker* sometimes. LOL. Anyway, I was showing my sis the star's cyworld and tell her how cute it is that they post thier pix on the net, share thier stories and all and my sis told me... "Nah, that's not them, some peeps are just pretending to be the real actor/actress"
and I say, "It is the real THEM unless its a fake one.. oh well anyway. I think some of the cyworld of the stars are legit. It's just here in my country that some nonsense peeps make a friendster acct of celebs and pretend its the celeb.. Well it creates confusion amongst people. And partly, its purely pathetic.. pretending to be the celeb.. gahhh...

Yeah, like us normal people, they take pictures of themselves too. And its not really vanity. I think its cute.

After all, stars/celebs are people too. Yes. ^^





이혜영

Lee Hye Young..!
Yes, she's one of my favorite actresses now.

Han Hye Jin`s Oppa~

You may know her as Soseono in Jumong. Well, for the guys out there, sorry to say that this gal is taken already. Her Namja Chingoo is Yu Naul:


and I`ve been sneaking a peek in his cyworld; he maybe likes african culture very much and recently he'll be having a charity work dedicated to african kids which made him happy.. that's what I heard. And he can have a shot in photography too, the photos he takes are just amazing. and the buzz is.. they've been together for 3 years and... no skinship or anything?!? Hmmm.

Oh well, if she's that very much religious.. anyway loving her in Jumong, I think she's great.

마치 운명같았던 만남 – Its as if meeting you was meant to be
내게 빠져버렸던 사랑 – I fell deep in love
이렇게도 맘이 아파오는데 – My heart is filled with pain since
그댈 잊으라고 하네요 – You want to forget
어떡하나요 사랑한다고 – What then should I do
말할 수 없던 내 심장속에 – I can’t say that I love you from within my heart
너를 묻을 수 없어 – I can’t keep it within

*내 심장은 다 타고 – My heart is almost burned
두눈은 멀어지고 – My eyes are gone blind
목이 쉬어도 좋으니 – My voice is hoarse but its okay
제발 올 수 있다면 – If I can cry as I please
내 심장을 태우고 – My heart is burning
니곁에 살 수 있다면 – If you stay by my side
그렇게 나 행복할테니.. – So happy I will be

볼수없던 눈물이 흘러 – There’s nothing but flow of tears
내가슴은 상처로 차죠 – My chest is filled with hurt
그댄 점점 내게 커져가는데(커져가는데) – And more and more it grows
한없이 나는 작아져요 – As I endlessly dwindle
어떡하나요 잊으려해도 – How can I forget
말 듣지 않는 나의 욕심은 - With unselfish words not enough
비워낼 수가 없죠 – Nothing can be more empty than this

내 심장은 같다고 - My heart is almost burning
두눈은 멀어지고 - My eyes are going blind

Dal Ja's Spring

달자의 봄

Synopsis:

Dal Ja's Spring is the story of Oh DalJa, a 33 year old spinster who dedicated almost her life to her job. She's a successful Managing Director of Handa Home Shopping, and she's goodlooking, funny, kind and nice but-- she's still single at her thirties! Not to mention still celibate! She firmly believes that Consummation must be done after marriage and no way she believes in doing it before marriage. But then she then decided one day to set aside all her doubts and go for it - ask the guy he liked for almost eight years then for a date. It was Shin SeDo, her long-time colleague whom she had been liking for the past eight years since working together at Handa Home Shopping. She gathered her guts and then popped the question: "Will you have dinner with me?" but at the last minute feared she will be rejected, but then SeDo gave him a peck in the cheeks and said: "Finally, it took you, eight years to say that don't you?". And DalJa felt happy and all but she wasnt even aware that SeDo is the playboy type and her pride was hurt when she found out that he was seeing somebody else too, none other than one of thier colleage, Home Shopping Host, Wee SeonJu whom she considers her rival. She then vowed to take revenge and pursued the help of Kang TaeBong; a guy she accidentally met on the road. She thought at first he was a no good goonie and found out he works as a Boyfriend for Hire, where you can pay him to be your boyfriend for a time. And there came a guy, goodlooking, rich and nice~ whom she called her "Man of Destiny" - Eom KiJoong. A Love triangle between DalJa, TaeBong and KiJoong is formed, and can she ever be friends with ex; SeDo? The story then unfolds of DalJa`s struggle in her work, with the men around her that makes her life complicated, how she deals with everyday life and also how her social and moral beliefs affect her life and how finally she learns what love is and how to experience love, how to cry from love and how finally in the end how her love overcomes all. It also tells the story of SeDo and SeonJu`s path to true love and how players finally realize that Love is there for them to stay.

Cast and Characters:

Chae Rim as Oh DalJa

33 years old, MD of Handa Home Shopping. The spinster. She can be the most predictable person ever,she also believes in marriage comes first. She sure is picky when it comes to guys, and also has high standards for them and maybe that's the reason why she fails at dating. Not being an expert to love, she was fooled by SeDo's playboy antics and then thinks that KiJoong is her Prince Charming. Being the heroine of the drama, DalJa sure is admirable, not only with her personality but she's also the epitome of the modern day career women today. She's very successful with her job, has great friends, and she is a good daughter but one thing sure is lacking in her life and makes it complicated: Love.

Lee MinKi as Kang TaeBong

27 year old, freelancer. DalJa's Spare tire. She was hired by DalJa to be her fake boyfriend when she wanted to revenge on SeDo for dumping her. TaeBong was a very mysterious guy, he doesnt want DalJa to meddle on hs past and then had a dating contract with her, with a rule that if anyone of them develops feelings for each other, then the contract is over and they will separate ways. He is almost perfect it hurts, and he always seemed to be there when DalJa needs him, and then the time came that thier contract ends but then he surprised DalJa with hiring her to be his girlfried - taking things the other way around. Could it be that Taebong finally has feelings for DalJa despite the six years age gap?

Lee Hyun Woo as Eom KiJoong

36 year old, the Business Representative for Handa Home Shopping for foreign brands. DalJa's Prince Charming. He is well-known and gentlemanly, goodloking and not to mention *rich*. He said he doesnt like inexperienced women but then gets attracted to DalJa more. He then gets caught up with a love triangle against TaeBong and pursued her, but was he really sincere, as he is very possessive and hates losing, is just his pride, or his feelings are really pure love and sincerity.

Lee Hye Young as Wee SeonJu

33 years old, Shopping Network Host. The Ice Queen. A former model who returns as a host after getting divorced at 29. She is considered a pro in dating, she knows how the guys are, and also considered a 'player'. She claims she will never trust in a guy again after failing with love, and thus she doesnt believe in love anymore. While DalJa is easy to read, SeonJu is the unpredictable woman, she comes off as cold and calculating on the outside but deep down she was warm-hearted, she pretends to be strong but deep inside she's suffering and weak. She is talented and sincere in her job but can be choosy and fussy at times. SeDo then pursues her but SeDo, being a playboy and a notorious womanizer, doesnt believe him. But SeDo looks sincere with her but can SeDo touch her heart once again? Since she believes she wont ever love again.

Gong Hyung Jin as Shin SeDo

33 years old, Producer of Home Shopping Network. The Playboy. He agreed to go out with DalJa but after a few attempts of 'scoring' with her, gives up as he thought they were not really compatible. They then decided to let go for thier relationship since the one he really wants is SeonJu. But SeonJu, after thier 4th date broke up with him and he was aghast as her reason is that "She was sick of him" already. Never since his highschool years he said that a woman told him that she was sick of him. He then realized that his feelings for SeonJu is different and that he is for real, but then when will he realize that it isnt all about being good in bed and that in Love, trust comes first.

Thoughts

Dal Ja`s Spring can be the white book of women in thier thirties ~ not only because it teaches a thing or two about love but it also deals with the modern day career women and thier moral beliefs and social upbringing. It also teaches many things in life that a person can appreciate and learn from; in this drama it was shown that:

Love takes second chances. Even if you get hurt and then you build a wall around your heart because you dont want anyone to get into it ever again because you fear that the hurt and pain will cost you another heartbreak is wrong. Sometimes the right one for us is just in front of us and we deny and deny it because we don't want to get hurt again, and thus it is us who will suffer. DJS shows that even repetitive failures in relationships occurs, a failed marriage and a first love that got wrong, we can love again, and so we should open up our heart and just hope for the better and not grow into an endless wall that no one can ever climb.
With Love comes great Responsibility. Just like a great power comes a great responsibility, love is also like that. Of course, in love it is two people involved and thus one should feel responsible for the other ~ but not as a burden. We should feel responsible for the other but not to the extent that we should burden the other one. Also, if you have 'done' it, then you have to be responsible for it, after all you did it without hesitation so, if an unexpected thing happens, a guy should not blame the woman, nor pressure her.
It's not always about the Sex. Sure, some guys today, especially the playboy types are famous becoz theyre good in bed, but really, as a woman it's not all we want. Sure, a guy can make you feel lost in pleasure but then, does it stop there? A woman, has fairytale dreams eversince a little girl, and getting married and having someone to love her is one of the dreams a girl has eversince little, altho as a woman grows older, she realizes that there's no such thing as happy endings but then a guy should never stop with just being a good partner-in-bed. From time to time, everything should be balanced, so that a woman could feel secure, just holding hands on the street and watching a movie together and cuddling is enough to make the woman feel secure, so a guy should balance the things he does, because most of women are romantist at heart.
Age is only a number. So what if you like a guy three, four years younger, there is no law really that prohibits you from doing so. So what if youre already in your thirties, it doesnt mean that you'll deprive of yourself of love because you think that everything a woman needs is financial security and a guy who can provide you everything you need. Age doesnt limit us for falling in love, age shouldnt be a barricade for us to fall in love, age after all~ doesnt really matter.

Lovers can turn to friends. Yes, even a jilted ex can also be a great friend. There is a saying that if you continue to be friends with an ex, then there is only two reasons: either the two of you never really loved each other, or the two of you still loves each other.
Love knows no time. Because abscence makes the heart grown fonder. If you really love a person, the person stays in your heart and just stays there, because true love, even after two, three, four or even five years, if its love then time cant test it because what really matters is if you really love someone you dont count the years, you dont count the days but you are content and no matter what may happen, if he/she is the one, then he/she just stays there in your heart.

End of Part1 of DJS post ^^;

And spring has begun...

달자:(신세도에게)같이.. 그래소... 같이... 저녁 먹을래요?
DalJa: Would you... like to have a dinner with me?


세도: 8년 걸렸네요. 그말 듣기 까지..
SeDo: It took you 8 years to say that...

SeDo: You didn`t know? I have been waiting for you all this time?
세도: 몰랐어요? 내가 계속 달자씨만 쳐다보고 있었단거?

.
.
.
달자: Oh...My...God...

달자: 사랑이 이렇게도 오는구나.. 내 인생에 봄은 영영 오지 않을 줄 알았는데.. 참, 오래도 살고 볼일이다..
Love, comes like this too... I`m already 33 years old. But then, being old is not that bad.


Ep1 DalJas Spring
1희 달자의봄

Life is a Drama.


Heehee. Had been absent from blogging these past few weeks coz of Finals.. and also coz I was too busy watching Kdramas~~ eigoh.. Yes, you can now call me addict... no, obssessed would be the right word. Finished Dal Ja`s Spring already but then I converted my younger sis into watching haahaa~ started watching again from EP1 and tomorrow would have Dal Ja Marathon again [we stopped at EP7] She likes DJS too, heehee, she likes DalJa more and I love SeonJu more.. heehee. The other day she was rewatching Full House and Sweet 18 which she got from my stuffs!! I got mad of course coz I dont want people meddling on my kdrama dvd collections.. hmf but I forgave her coz she likes em too... &btw, definitely! Dal Ja`s Spring is added to my all time favorite dramas. I say all-time becoz a drama/series that I really love wouldnt make me get tired of it, I can watch it again and again and again. Haahaa. And At night till 2am I watch Jumong with my Omma~~ yea she`s more addicted than me!! LOL! And I gave up watching Goong S... Sorry Se7en oppa.. I love him really, but after EP6 I gave up.. He can just sweep me away with his dancing and singing.. Also, I gave up When Spring Comes.. I stopped watching when Jeong Do turned down Young Joo~ I guess I was really rooting for Park Geon Hyeong and Park Si Yeon team-up..wahh stupid me. Also put a halt on watching Blissful Woman~ it's just that storylines that involves couples changing makes me kinda, irked? It's just that If this woman is paired up with this guy, then it should be consistent till the end. I don't like changing partners and stuff.. I can deal with antagonist turning protagonist in characters and vice versa.. but partners/lovers? Nahh. Ji Yeon played by Yoon Jung Hee is married with Jun Ho but I guess theyre going to get divorced.. I think they were a great couple.. so yeah. I think it`s a waste. So I gave up on that drama.. Anyways. Too many kdrama`s to watch.. so little time. Sometimes I get just 3-5 hours of sleep these days just by watching k-dramas. I know I know, I must be a 바보/fool but the story doesnt end there. Not to mention I still have that long pile of dvdsets of drama's in my waiting list to be watched... seriously.. I will lack sleep this vacation... hmmm... and I havent even started watching Witch Amusement YooHee and Hello Miss! and Surgeon Bong Dal Hee, Mawang and White Tower too.. hmmm..!!!

Currently watching these:

히트 / H.I.T (Homicide Investigation Team)

Cha Soo Kyung is righteous and powerful detective collaborating with the new prosecutor, Kim Jae Yoon. This “professional drama” portrays the real life of a detective fighting alone to catch serial killers and criminals.

* Ko Hyun Jung as Cha Soo Kyung
* Ha Jung Woo as Kim Jae Yoon
* Kim Jung Min as Kim Young Doo
* Yoon Ji Min as Jung In Hee


mauwy`s 2 cents: I love CSI! and when I first read and heard about this drama I knew it would be like CSI, I watched CSI Miami and Vegas so was really curious at this drama. Still stuck at EP1 though, but I cant wait for more. I remember the lead actress, Ko Hyun Jung in Spring Days, and I have read she was also a nuna in the drama What`s Up Fox [which am going to see one of these days..hopefully] First episode was shot in Hongkong and must say am really impressed. So yes, this might be what you can say a 'spin-off' to CSI but yeah yeah, there's the korean "trademark" in it. Good watch.

사랑에 미치다 / Crazy For You


Suh Jin Young is an aviation maintenance technician and her husband passed away due to a traffic accident. Kim Chae Joon dreams to become an aviation pilot but he encounters an unfortunate accident. Chae Joon goes to prison for accidently killing a man in a car accident. The man happens to be Jin Young's husband. Jin Young and Chae Joon develop a love relationship.

* Yoon Kye Sang as Kim Chae Joon
* Lee Mi Yun as Suh Jin Young
* Kim Eun Joo as Jo Min Hee
* Lee Jong Hyuk as Hyun Chul


mauwy`s 2 cents: this, I must say is one of the refreshing plots I have seen in dramas these days. You see, Jin Young's hubby was killed and the man responsible was sentenced to be imprisoned but years later, they meet and hopelessly fall in love to each other. What will she do then when she finds out he was the one who killed his husband? I say it's complicated right? But complication is what makes a drama interesting, so, I`m holding on to the next episodes. Great watch.

하늘만큼 땅만큼 / By Land and Sky

Suk Ji Soo is a kindhearted and thoughtful woman caring about the harmony of her family. Jeong Mu Young struggles through many troubles and forgivness within his family. He doesn't really like his father because he was born due to his father's affair with another woman. Ji Soo and Mu Young's family in this drama are complete opposites...her family is happy while his family is not. Eun Ha is a girl with a cheerful personality and perfect skin with no wrinkles. She thinks importantly of people's relationships and puts much effort into everything she does to make her family happy. The drama will be focusing on different family problems faced in modern day society.

* Han Hyo Joo as Suk Ji Soo
* Park Hae Jin as Jeong Mu Young
* Hong Soo Ah as Yoo Eun Ha
* Yoon Hae Young as Park Myeong Ja
* Kang Jung Hwa as Yoon Eun Joo
* Lee Joo Hyun as Kim Sang Hyun
* Jung Ae Ri as Park Myeong Ja
* Seo Jae Kyeong as Suk Ji Wong
* Kim Il Woo as Park Myeong Tae


mauwy`s 2 cents: This daily 'family drama' reminds me sooo much of Bizarre Bunch~ which am missing soo much. Problem is, if it's a daily drama, there's the possibility it won`t be released with a dvd set. Sucks! It's 100 episodes in all~ btw, reason why I started watching these is because of Park Hae Jin~ coz I loved him in the Chil Sisters. Really, I thought he was such a cutie, well he still is.. heehee. Family dramas reflect the modern day korean family and yeah, interesting, it gives you insights. You can reflect upon your own problems with family too and stuffs. Good watch.

지금은 연애중 / We Are Dating Now

Ho-Jung (Chae Rim) is a cute, naive girl who often falls head over heals with the wrong guys. Both Ho-Jung and Kyu-In (So Ji Sup), her neighbor, are idealistic about love. They start off on the wrong foot and treats each other as if they were siblings, constantly fighting. Ho-Jung's friend Cha Hee (Choi Yoon Young) has a thing for Kyu-In and Ho-Jung later realizes that she too has feelings for him. Ho-Jae (Kwon Sang Woo), Ho-Jung's brother, is a player, who has good physical features. Things start to get complicated for Ho-Jae when he falls for Ho-Jung's friend Soo-Ji (Lee Hee Jung), who does not have a physical appeal but has a good personality and intelligence.

* Chae Rim as Yoon Ho-jung
* So Ji Sup as Choi Kyo-in
* Choi Yoon Young as Kang Cha-hee
* Kwon Sang Woo as Yoon Ho-jae
* Kim Na Woon as Choi Kyo-sun
* Lee Hee Jung as Soo-Ji


mauwy`s 2 cents: This is an old drama starring Chae Rim and So Ji Sup~ I dunno if this was aired here in local channels, but after Dal Ja`s Spring I can say that Chae Rim was added to my favorite k-actresses [expect my top 5 fave. actress to be changed soon..heehee] and that am also re-watching All About Eve, heehee. And Kwon Sang Woo is here, haahaa, he's too cute. So yes, I have seen that it wasnt the first time Chae Rim acted in a character that best resembles as Dal Ja in DJS~ comic, funny and can be crazy at times.. and Sung Si Kyung was here! Haahaa. Didnt knew he acted too. LOL. HoJung, played by CR is toooo funny. Like the fact that when she likes a guy, she imitates every little move of him... I say, thats almost STALKING. LMAO. and yeah, her parents are wayy tooo funny too. Must watch.. for laughs.. and for Ji Sup and Sang Woo Oppa.

***

So yes. This is just like me to forget about other things, like blogging and getting online when am immersed in dramas.. like last year, I was soo immersed with Dae Jang Geum and MNIKSS.. haahaa. Really, am an addict. But yes, As I have said, Life is a drama~ and it reflects our daily lives. I just dont watch it coz of *cuuute* stars. I dont watch it just becoz it's a trend. I dont watch them coz it's like, *cool*. I watch it for fun, for entertainment, for amusement, for bawling with my tears, to feel sad and happy, for things to be reflected upon, for lessons in life to be learned, for things I can learn from-- Life, Love, Friendship, Work, Career that I can apply to my own life and learn from it. To relate from the characters joy and sufferings and mistakes and then also learn from it. To be touched by thier love stories, to get mad at the mean girl or to symphatize with the pathetic boy who loves the girl even if the girl cant love her back, to rejoice with the heroine if she succeeds with her job and her accomplishments, to cheer the hero if he wins a battle or wins the heart of his beloved, to love even the supporting casts coz without them, a drama would be ever so boring.

So the bottomline is, calling me just a plain addict is too strong, for my addiction has a reason. And it's not just a lame reason per say.
Haahaa. Seriously..

My Story

K-Fanism started three years ago. Mauwy was tuned in at a local channel and saw Winter Sonata, fell in love with Bae Yong Joon and admired Choi Ji Woo from the first glance. Eversince, Yonsama and JiWoo~hime became her favourite k-stars. Eversince, she watched all of JiWoo~hime's drama on the local channel -- from Beautiful Days, Truth, Mr. Duke, Stairway to Heaven and recently an old drama of her, First Love with Bae Yong Joon. Yep, it wasnt Winter Sonata that they first hooked-up it was on First Love. Also loved her movies, like Romantic President, First Kiss and Yeonriji. As for Yonsama~ she was her first love. She stalked him since, from Hotelier, Papa and yes, First Love. Was shocked when she saw his movie Untold Scandal, but nevertheless appreciated the movie and learned that Joseon Dynasty has its own expliticism. Loved April Snow and now highly anticapating The Great Kings and Four Gods.

And then..
Stairway to Heaven came along, fell deep in love with Kwon Sang Woo and cried every heartbreaking scenes. and thus, My Wife is a Gangster came along and she was impressed as ever. Sassy Girl also came and she thought Jeon Ji Hyun was such a pretty face. First time ever to watch a korean film in themovie theather with the movie A Tale of Two Sisters, had a fright but got to rewatch again, as the story was complicated.. but really loved it.

And one day she was tuned in at a local music channel and saw a Music Video from the band called K.I.S.S. and the song was called; Because I`m a Girl. She was deeply moved byy the storyline of the MV and amazed at how tragic it was yet so beautiful and how the song, at first really wasnt understood by her but yet she liked it. Thus, K-Ballads was also her first love, K-Pop.. just the second..

It was three years ago..
Since it started. And Dae Jang Geum came along...

It was the trigger point in which she became too much of a k-addict. It was when she started to learn Hanguk-Mal, and appreciated more of Korean Culture. Haahaa. Lee Young Ae became the #1 Favorite actress, and has almost seen all of her dramas [except for some] watched most of her CF's endlessly for a time, and also stalked Yang Mi Kyung when she came here in the country.
Almost all her dream guys are k-oppas.
Weird.
Hallyuwood is here in me.

And thus.
I think this is a major fanism.
This blog is made due to my fanism.
^_____^*
Really.

Hahaha. *in my desk*


3.25.2007

Hello Everyone.

여로번, 안넝 하세요~!

I finally decided to make a separate blog that includes my k-addiction. If you didn't know, I very well like some korean movies, dramas, variety shows, music, and celebs.


But then, it's all too much and my whole life is eating it up~~ not in a bad way though. But I have to organize my life and separate leisure from personal stuffs. So yes, I decided to make *another* blog.

This is the place where all my thoughts, rants, raves, reviews, and other hallyu related stuffs will go. I call this bloggie K-Wave~ for I think am really swept by the Hallyu. Heehee.

Anyways, this blog is not meant to inform, but just blabbers and thoughts of a k-fan and I don't expect everyone to agree with all my views and opinions, tastes and preferences that I have about "Hallyuwood" and surely, everyone can beg to disagree with me.

Life is Drama

Currently watching these:

히트 / H.I.T (Homicide Investigation Team)

Cha Soo Kyung is righteous and powerful detective collaborating with the new prosecutor, Kim Jae Yoon. This “professional drama” portrays the real life of a detective fighting alone to catch serial killers and criminals.

* Ko Hyun Jung as Cha Soo Kyung
* Ha Jung Woo as Kim Jae Yoon
* Kim Jung Min as Kim Young Doo
* Yoon Ji Min as Jung In Hee


mauwy`s 2 cents: I love CSI! and when I first read and heard about this drama I knew it would be like CSI, I watched CSI Miami and Vegas so was really curious at this drama. Still stuck at EP1 though, but I cant wait for more. I remember the lead actress, Ko Hyun Jung in Spring Days, and I have read she was also a nuna in the drama What`s Up Fox [which am going to see one of these days..hopefully] First episode was shot in Hongkong and must say am really impressed. So yes, this might be what you can say a 'spin-off' to CSI but yeah yeah, there's the korean "trademark" in it. Good watch.

사랑에 미치다 / Crazy For You


Suh Jin Young is an aviation maintenance technician and her husband passed away due to a traffic accident. Kim Chae Joon dreams to become an aviation pilot but he encounters an unfortunate accident. Chae Joon goes to prison for accidently killing a man in a car accident. The man happens to be Jin Young's husband. Jin Young and Chae Joon develop a love relationship.

* Yoon Kye Sang as Kim Chae Joon
* Lee Mi Yun as Suh Jin Young
* Kim Eun Joo as Jo Min Hee
* Lee Jong Hyuk as Hyun Chul


mauwy`s 2 cents: this, I must say is one of the refreshing plots I have seen in dramas these days. You see, Jin Young's hubby was killed and the man responsible was sentenced to be imprisoned but years later, they meet and hopelessly fall in love to each other. What will she do then when she finds out he was the one who killed his husband? I say it's complicated right? But complication is what makes a drama interesting, so, I`m holding on to the next episodes. Great watch.

하늘만큼 땅만큼 / By Land and Sky

Suk Ji Soo is a kindhearted and thoughtful woman caring about the harmony of her family. Jeong Mu Young struggles through many troubles and forgivness within his family. He doesn't really like his father because he was born due to his father's affair with another woman. Ji Soo and Mu Young's family in this drama are complete opposites...her family is happy while his family is not. Eun Ha is a girl with a cheerful personality and perfect skin with no wrinkles. She thinks importantly of people's relationships and puts much effort into everything she does to make her family happy. The drama will be focusing on different family problems faced in modern day society.

* Han Hyo Joo as Suk Ji Soo
* Park Hae Jin as Jeong Mu Young
* Hong Soo Ah as Yoo Eun Ha
* Yoon Hae Young as Park Myeong Ja
* Kang Jung Hwa as Yoon Eun Joo
* Lee Joo Hyun as Kim Sang Hyun
* Jung Ae Ri as Park Myeong Ja
* Seo Jae Kyeong as Suk Ji Wong
* Kim Il Woo as Park Myeong Tae


mauwy`s 2 cents: This daily 'family drama' reminds me sooo much of Bizarre Bunch~ which am missing soo much. Problem is, if it's a daily drama, there's the possibility it won`t be released with a dvd set. Sucks! It's 100 episodes in all~ btw, reason why I started watching these is because of Park Hae Jin~ coz I loved him in the Chil Sisters. Really, I thought he was such a cutie, well he still is.. heehee. Family dramas reflect the modern day korean family and yeah, interesting, it gives you insights. You can reflect upon your own problems with family too and stuffs. Good watch.

지금은 연애중 / Jigeumeun Yeonaejung

Ho-Jung (Chae Rim) is a cute, naive girl who often falls head over heals with the wrong guys. Both Ho-Jung and Kyu-In (So Ji Sup), her neighbor, are idealistic about love. They start off on the wrong foot and treats each other as if they were siblings, constantly fighting. Ho-Jung's friend Cha Hee (Choi Yoon Young) has a thing for Kyu-In and Ho-Jung later realizes that she too has feelings for him. Ho-Jae (Kwon Sang Woo), Ho-Jung's brother, is a player, who has good physical features. Things start to get complicated for Ho-Jae when he falls for Ho-Jung's friend Soo-Ji (Lee Hee Jung), who does not have a physical appeal but has a good personality and intelligence.

* Chae Rim as Yoon Ho-jung
* So Ji Sup as Choi Kyo-in
* Choi Yoon Young as Kang Cha-hee
* Kwon Sang Woo as Yoon Ho-jae
* Kim Na Woon as Choi Kyo-sun
* Lee Hee Jung as Soo-Ji


mauwy`s 2 cents: This is an old drama starring Chae Rim and So Ji Sup~ I dunno if this was aired here in local channels, but after Dal Ja`s Spring I can say that Chae Rim was added to my favorite k-actresses [expect my top 5 fave. actress to be changed soon..heehee] and that am also re-watching All About Eve, heehee. And Kwon Sang Woo is here, haahaa, he's too cute. So yes, I have seen that it wasnt the first time Chae Rim acted in a character that best resembles as Dal Ja in DJS~ comic, funny and can be crazy at times.. and Sung Si Kyung was here! Haahaa. Didnt knew he acted too. LOL. HoJung, played by CR is toooo funny. Like the fact that when she likes a guy, she imitates every little move of him... I say, thats almost STALKING. LMAO. and yeah, her parents are wayy tooo funny too. Must watch.. for laughs.. and for Ji Sup and Sang Woo Oppa.

***

So yes. This is just like me to forget about other things, like blogging and getting online when am immersed in dramas.. like last year, I was soo immersed with Dae Jang Geum and MNIKSS.. haahaa. Really, am an addict. But yes, As I have said, Life is a drama~ and it reflects our daily lives. I just dont watch it coz of *cuuute* stars. I dont watch it just becoz it's a trend. I dont watch them coz it's like, *cool*. I watch it for fun, for entertainment, for amusement, for bawling with my tears, to feel sad and happy, for things to be reflected upon, for lessons in life to be learned, for things I can learn from-- Life, Love, Friendship, Work, Career that I can apply to my own life and learn from it. To relate from the characters joy and sufferings and mistakes and then also learn from it. To be touched by thier love stories, to get mad at the mean girl or to symphatize with the pathetic boy who loves the girl even if the girl cant love her back, to rejoice with the heroine if she succeeds with her job and her accomplishments, to cheer the hero if he wins a battle or wins the heart of his beloved, to love even the supporting casts coz without them, a drama would be ever so boring.

So the bottomline is, calling me just a plain addict is too strong, for my addiction has a reason. And it's not just a lame reason per say.
Haahaa. Seriously..

Episode15, Dal Ja's Spring

Coming Soon

Gahh, me is sooo excited. Giddy.. and excited, I can't wait ^ ^ These are some of the upcoming dramas I'm looking forward to:

태왕사신기 / The Legend of The First Kings, Four Gods

Bae Yong Jun as Dam-deok
Jung Jin Young as Hyeonko

Who was Dam-deok (Gwang Gae Toh Dae Wang): He was the 19th king of Goguryeo (lasted from 37 B.C. to 668 A.D.). During the time of Dam-deok, Goguryeo was the most powerful nation in East Asia (yes, even the Chinese dynasty couldn't defeat Goguryeo). At age 11, he was made the Crown Prince and became King when he was 16. In 396, he attacked Baekje (a nation Southwest of Goguryeo) and took over the northern area above the Han River. He defeated the many invasions made by the Yeon Dynasty (China) after 400 A.D. During his reign, the number of castles he took over numbered in the hundreds and villages numbered in the thousands. However, he died at an untimely age of 39.

Mauwy`s 2 cents: This, another Saeguk drama, as I have read is a continuation of Jumong, in fact - this drama replaces Jumong during Mondays and Tuesdays night in MBC. Well, storyline is, Dam-Deok is related to Jumong -- that`s all I can say for now. And really, really looking forward to this drama, as here, Bae Yong Joon acts for the first time being a "general" as opposed to his usual sweet, sensitive roles he had in the past. Yong Joon was my first love really, amongst the korean actors [tee-hee] I can say I have moved on ~~ but that dont mean I`m stopping my admiration for him as an actor, I think he's a great actor though... have you seen him semi-naked? Gosh, his biceps are bulging.. haahaa. Buff~~ & Goguryeo Historical Drama's is interesting to watch, I used to watch Dae Jo Young from time to time but then I stopped, coz its so hard to watch a tradional drama if you havent started on its first episode ㅡ.ㅡ;;

에어시티 / Air City

Choi Ji Woo as Han Do Kyung
Lee Jung Jae as Kim Ji Sung

Han Do Kyung is a career woman who is working as the regional chief of operation of 5 nations. She speaks five different languages. However, Do Kyung lives with an uneven wound of her family. Kim Ji Sung is a national secret agent who has acute observation and calm judgment capabilities. Kang Ha Joon is the operation situation team leader in the headquarter of Incheon National Airport. He is the manager of the heroine, Do Kyung.

Mauwy`s 2 cents: Choi Ji Woo and Lee Jung Jae~ veteran actors already, I wonder how this drama goes, the plot is interesting enough and Jung Jae - first time of me to soon see a drama of his, firstly coz he usually makes movies, heehee. Really looking forward to this drama, as I wonder if Jung Jae-Ji Woo chemistry will work out ^ ^ and I okay, Ji Woo is the Melodrama Queen eveer.. and I hope this time there's not much crying and bawling, her character this time looks like a toughie and strong one [i hope!] and it's not that I'm sick of her crying all the time, I just want her to explore her acting diversity and see her in more challenging roles.. I just wuvv her. Haahaa. As for Lee Jung Jae ~ am expecting the best of him, he's a veteran, sheesh, I know he can do it [:

Time Between Dog and Wolf / 개와 늑대의 시간
Lee Joon Ki as Lee Soo Hyun
Nam Sang Mi as Suh Ji Woo
Jung Kyung Ho as Kang Min Gi

Lee Soo Hyun a courageous and energetic man who wants revenge on a criminal group. Suh Ji Woo met Soo Hyun when they were children and fell in love with him. Due to a sudden accident, they had to separate. They meet each other again when they are working as secret agents disguised as museum curators. However, they separate once again because Soo Hyun wants to revenge on his parents’ enemies. Both belong to a special investigation unit against an international narcotic drug crime organization.

Mauwy`s 2 cents: Joonki Oppa~ haahaa. The plot seems really interesting, and I just hope Joonki aint gonna be the third party again.. I just feel sad for him sometimes heehee. thats why he really should belong to me, harhar] I'm guessing there will be a lot of 'suspense' scenes [I hope] as Joonki plays a secret agent this time. and to his ever hating detractors.. well. 닥저~ I think Joonki had proved himself as an actor for me already - he's not just a pretty face, it's just that looks are deceiving sometimes and you just got to have the skills to back it up. Well, I hope he wont fail me and portray his role well.. Aja~! ^ ^

마녀유희 / Witch Amusement

Han Ga In as Ma Yoo Hee
Jae Hee as Jae Mo Ryong
Kim Jeong Hoon as Yoo Joon Ha
Jun Hye Bin as Jang Sung Mi
Dennis Oh as Jamie Oliver

Ma Yoo Hee has an independent personality and is the only daughter of the owner of an advertisement company. She works as an advertisement planner. After she is introduced to Jae Mo Ryong, who is a student learning cooking, she falls in love with him. Dennis Oh will play a famous French Chef from America. He is perfect guy named Johnny Kruger from New York. He plays a big part in hooking up Ma Yoo-Hee and Jae Mo Ryong. Jang Sung Mi is the ex-girlfriend of Mo Ryong.

Mauwy`s 2 cents: Now this seems to be a promising romantic-comedy, and Oppa overload too, Jae Hee, Kim Jung Hoon & Dennis Oh ! Take your pick.. mine is Dennis, so sorry. Haahaa. I was kinda dissapointed at first when I realized Han Ga In is paired up with Jae Hee, as I wanted to see more of Dennis/Ga In pair-up, as I liked them in the SG Wannabe/Kim Jong Kook MV ~ Only the Wind. But then, it is justified really, he's still got far more to go in terms of acting, he is hawwtness, yes but Jae Hee excels more in acting.. I loved him in 3 Iron btw.

마왕 / The Devil

Joo Ji Hoon as Oh Seung Ha
Shin Min Ah as Seo Hae In
Uhm Tae Woong as Kang Oh Soo

The tragic event of their childhood entwined the fates between two men who are bonded by it and a woman who has an ability in psychometry into a love triangle. Oh Seung Ha is a lawyer, who is destined to meet a police detective, Kang Oh Soo. Seo Hae In is a 25 year old mysterious librarian with an ability in psychometry. She is at the level of being diagnosed with amnesia/sleeping disorder and she tends to be in full concentration when she becomes too absorbed/focus into something. Kang Oh Soo is from a rich family and accidentally caused Seung Ha to lose his brother and mom when they were young. Seung Ha studied hard to be a lawyer but he becomes a serial killer in order to seek revenge on Kang Oh Soo. Oh Seung Ha and Seo Hae In will have feelings for each other while Kang Oh Soo has a one sided love for Hae In.

Mauwy`s 2 cents: Joo JI Hoon~ its his 2nd drama right, I think he's done well with Goong and now I`m anticipating this drama. Ji Hoon, in my opinion fits well with the *toughie* image with his looks. He plays as a police detective here? It should be good to watch, am anxious ^ ^ & Min Ah, I admit am not really fond of her, but she's okay I think. Psychometry plays a big part in this drama~ and personally I havent heard of Psychometry before and now it interests me much. Starting to symphatize with Tae Woong's character - it says he studied to be a lawyer - but ends up as serial killer. Poor man.. ]:

헬로 애기씨 / Hello! Miss

Lee Ji Hoon as Dong Gyu
Lee Da Hae as Lee Soo Ha

Hwa Ahn Dang owner, Soo Ha, is trying to save the place from being bankrupt. She meets Dong Gyu and Chang Min, the grandsons of a wealthy man, who had worked for a long time at Hwa Ahn Dang before. Together with a crazy woman's daughter 'Hwa Ran', they get involve in a dangerous love story... This drama is adapted from the novel, "Kimchi Mandu."

Mauwy`s 2 cents: New drama of Da Hae, wow. Me soo excited really, and Kimchi Mandu - never heard of the book ever, and now I wonder~ coz Kimchi is food, obviously and Mandu means dumpling.. I wonder if food is connected with this drama. Heehee. Aww I love Lee Ji Hoon, I think he's gorgeous.. heehee. Let's see if she Da Hae & Ji Hoon too would have a great onscreen chemistry ^ ^

All in all, I think 2007 is promising for k-dramas. The plot lines are very interesting. I oppose anyone who says that all kdrama`s are the same, and that theyre getting tired of the same-old-same-old plotlines blahh blahh. Oh well, an advice, You just have to watch different kinds of dramas to not be bored ^ ^
