Big Man

It's been awhile that I haven't updated about any korean drama keke~
Actually I'm a big fan of kdrama, but due of hectic work schedules...I put a hold on it
But now, I manage to slot it a few hours a day to release my stress and I'm currently enjoying a few series lalalaaaa~

Normally I only watch a series with line of casts that I like
One of the important factor that lead me to watch certain series of course because of the hero / 2nd hero / heroine / 2nd heroine in it. If that series being played by anyone whom I like, then it's a big yes for me!!

But this time around, there's an exception to this kdrama that I'm currently watch... "Big Man"
None of the cast is my favourite actually....but when I read the synopsis...I think it gonna be daebak!
So, I give it a try~

Plot

Kim Ji-Hyeok (Kang Ji-Hwan) doesn't have parents and goes through a tough life. He then meets Dal-Sook who runs a small restaurant at a traditional market. Kim Ji-Hyeok follows her like his mother and settles down at the traditional market. He works hard to open up his own store within the traditional market.

Suddenly, Kim Ji-Hyeok becomes a hidden son from a family that owns Korea's top company Hyunsung. He realizes though that there are impure intentions. Since that moment, Kim Ji-Hyeok takes revenge upon the people at the Hyunsung company. He becomes romantically involved with a woman named So Mi-Ra (Lee Da-Hee) who he meets at the most important time in his life.

******

How come a father brutally plan to steal the hearts of others to replace the liver of his son which totally damaged due to car accident?? Michin.....but, it just a drama after all....I'm too emotional I guess.

Kim Ji-Hyeok (Kang Ji-Hwan) 

As I said, I'm not a big fan of him. But I watch his acting in "Lie To Me" with his co-star Yoon Eun Hye and I think he did a pretty good job with his acting.

So Mi-Ra (Lee Da-Hee)

I'm not a fan of her too..But I watch her in "Secret" and "I Hear You Voice". For me...she's quite good too. But the first time I saw her in drama, I think she did something to her face...Something look fake and unreal to me. I'm not against plastic surgery because it's a person's own choice and I have no right to judge them for their decision.

I'm looking forward the ending as this series is getting interesting and more heartbreaking scenes are coming to screen.

Pretty Boy

Next on my list will be another drama from Jang Geun Seuk! He makes a comeback on small screen. Yippie!!
I'm curious about how this drama will turn out because nothing's new in the plot.I'll give it a try hopping that it will surprise me...
Hope to be my favourite drama too after "You're Beautiful" because I'm not really into "Marry Stayed Out All Night" neither "Beethoven Virus" keke~
Why?? Simple, I don't really like the heroine.. No offense owk! We have different kinds of liking, don't you??
I even tried to watch "Love Rain" but the drama is too slow for me..sorry~
"Pretty Boy" or "Pretty Man" will takes over the KBS2 Wed. & Thu. 21:55 time slot previously occupied by "Secret Love" starting this November 20, 2013
This drama is based on comic book series "Yebbeun Namja" by Chon Kye-Young (first published November 27, 2009 by Seoul Media Group)

Synopsis :
Dokgo Ma-Te (Jang Geun-Suk) is the most beautiful man in the world.
He is also an ambitious man and wants to make a lot money using his beautiful appearance.
Dokgo Ma-Te meets Hong Yoo-Ra, the ex-daughter-in-law of a rich family.
Hong Yoo-Ra recognizes Dokgo Ma-Te's ambitions and becomes his mentor.
Hong Yoo-Ra then gives Dokgo Ma-Te a mission to seduce 10 different women.
The women have all succeeded in different fields and Dokgo Ma-Te is to glean their special abilities.
A strange woman then appears in front of Dokgo Ma-Te. Her name is Kim Bo-Tong, an ordinary girl from poor background.
She has a huge crush on Dokgo Ma-Te.
Can she make Dokgo Ma-Te love her?

Cast :

Jang Geun-Suk as Dokgo Ma-Te

IU as Kim Bo-Tong

Lee Jang-Woo as David Choi

 Han Chae-Young as Hong Yoo-Ra

I really think Geun Seuk suits this role the best.
With his face, his facial expression and his acting skills..I think he's just daebak haha~
Yah, can't wait to watch this drama. Next week palli juseyo!!!

Secret Love

Yet another korean drama that has just wrapped up last night. Ending? Go and watch by yourself la haha.
Actually I'm not really into any of the actors/actresses in this drama..but due to it's high rating I forced myself to watch and evaluate it myself why it's rating is higher than "The Heirs".
It turned out to be that even though none of the casts is my fave, I really think that this drama has a very nice storyline instead of being cliche or all about having romance among teenagers like others.
Normally I only watch those dramas that's not so heavy or too dramatic with full of emotions and tears (because I might ended crying as well and I don't like it! It's weird right??)...or full of actions. I'm too fussy I guess~
But there's some exceptions like that drama has my favorite actor/actress keke. I will still watching it despite the not so good storyline, but I do skipped a lot! What's the point?? I also don't know :p

Synopsis :
Everyone has their own secrets. Secrets can help people succeed and even fall in love; but secrets can also destroy people.
Secrets can sometimes make us happy, worried, or even blind us to reality. This drama is about secrets.
It is an exploration into the trials and tribulations of people who live with secrets.
These secrets drive the four characters desire to find love and exact revenge.

This melodrama is about a “fatal romance” between a man who loses his girlfriend in an accident, and falls in love with the woman responsible for her death.
Jo Min Hyuk (Ji Sung) was born into a wealthy family. He has everything including good looks, intelligence, but he doesn’t have kindness.
He loses his girlfriend in a hit-and-run accident.
Kang Yoo Jung (Hwang Jung Eum) goes to prison, because of the hit-and-run accident that killed Min Hyuk’s girlfriend.
Her boyfriend, Ahn Do Hoon (Bae Soo Bin) is the one that actually committed the hit-and-run accident, but Yoo Jung took the blame.
She is then betrayed by her boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Shin Se Yeon (Lee Da Hee) is the one with an unrequited love.
She’s described as “thirsty for love,” and she’ll be a character in pain because she can’t have the one person she wants.

Not sound interesting right? But, you should try to watch it first! Then only you decide.

"Save the Last Dance For Me" is the first drama by Ji Sung that I had watched, but that only because one of my room mate really like that drama.
Other than that is "Protect the Boss" which I don't really watch even though my favorite actor, Jaejoong acted in it.
Why?? Because I don't really like the heroine haha..not offense owk!
That's why I said I'm a bit choosy lalalaaaa...

The Heirs / The Inheritors

Yet another korean drama that I'm currently following right now is The Heirs / The Inheritors. Why I'm watching this drama? Simply because at first Yonghwa was supposed to be in it. But due to some reasons his agency and the production company hadn't been able to arrive at an agreement on his character, so he withdraw from this drama. Still, I'm happy for it...Why?? Because he was not teaming up with Park Shin Hye again hahahaa. He has been acting with Shin Hye in You're Beautiful and Heartstrings..I think that more than enough and I want to see him pairing with another actresses. (It's not that I hate Shin Hye...she's cute, beautiful and talented). I'm glad that he decided to star in Marry Him If You Dare along with Yoon Eun Hye and Lee Dong Gun. So I'm watching Marry Him If You Dare on Mon-Tue night and The Heirs / The Inheritors on Wed-Thu night keke~ . I have watched up to episode 9 and tonight is episode 10 from 20 episodes.

Here goes the synopsis of this drama.
"The Heirs" depicts the friendships, rivalries and love lives of young, rich heirs led by Kim Tan (Lee Min-Ho) and a girl named Cha Eun-Sang (Park Shin-Hye). Unlike the others, Cha Eun-Sang is considered ordinary and comes from a poor background.
18-year-old Cha Eun-Sang lives with her mother who is mute. Her mother works as a housekeeper and Eun-Sang also works part-time jobs to help out. One day, Eun-Sang's older sister (Yoon Jin-Seo) calls from the U.S. and informs them that she will marry. Eun-Sang's mother then asks Eun-Sang to send her older sister some money from her savings account. Eun-Sang isn't happy with her situation and decides to go to the U.S. herself to see if she can start a better life with her sister.
When Eun-Sang arrives in California she is in for a shock. Her older sister lives in a filthy home with a deadbeat boyfriend who seems violent. Her sister is also not getting married or going to school and works full-time as a waitress. When Eun-Sang finally tracks down her sister working at a beach front restaurant, she takes the money Eun-Sang brought for her wedding and leaves without even saying goodbye. Eun-Sang's dreams of starting a better life in America quickly vanishes and she crumbles to the ground in tears.
Meanwhile, Kim Tan is not your typical high school student, but a handsome and wealthy Korean heir to a large conglomeration. He is sitting out on the patio of the beach front restaurant, watching everything unfold between Eun-Sang and her sister. Kim Tan's American friend then sees a ziplock bag with a powdery substance fall out of Eun-Sang's suitcase and runs over to scoop it up. Kim Tan knows immediately that the ziplock bag doesn't contain drugs, but rather powder grain to make traditional Korean drinks. Soon, Eun-Sang runs off after Kim Tan's friend and Kim Tan goes to help Eun-Sang. When the dust is settled, Eun-Sang walks out of a police station and her passport is temporarily confiscated. With nowhere to go for Eun-Sang, Kim Tan offers to let her stay at his home. Although they seem to come from different worlds, they quickly develop a rapport for each other. But, when Kim Tan is at school, Eun-Sang meets a girl named Rachel (Kim Ji-Won). Rachel informs Eun-Sang that she is Kim Tan's fiance and she demands that Eun-Sang leaves his home immediately. Eventually, Eun-Sang returns to South Korea.

Kim Tan now feels nothing but emptiness after Eun-Sang's departure. He decides to go back to Korea even though his older stepbrother Won (Choi Jin-Hyuk) strongly opposes his return. When Kim Tan gets back to his luxurious mansion like home, he sees someone briefly that resembles Eun-Sang. Kim Tan goes to his mother Ki-Ae (Kim Sung-Ryoung) and asks about the unfamiliar, but familiar girl that he briefly saw. His mother tells him that the girl is their housekeeper's daughter and her name is Cha Eun-Sang. She's also staying in their home. 

Here are some of the casts of this drama.

Lee Minho as Kim Tan

Park Shin Hye as Cha Eun-Sang

Kim Woo Bin as Choi Young Do

Choi Jin Hyuk as Kim Won

Kang Min Hyuk as Yoon Chan-Young

Krystal as Lee Bo-Na

Although Yonghwa was not in this drama. I'm still watching it because...I like Lee Minho too and of course there's Kang Min Hyuk, the drummer of CN Blue haha... I think this drama has a few similarities with Boys Over Flowers where it's all about a bunch of high school rich kids, the hero fall in love with the heroin which comes from a poor family, poor girl gets scholarship to prestigious high school and dealing with the ruling boys..and others. But, no matter what...I've started to enjoy this drama a bit more after letting go the coincidences and of course because of the casts too~ I do think that this drama already has a big happy fanbase because it's a star studded drama, despite not having very high rating...I still enjoying it! I don't know why I'm rooting for Bo Na and Chan Young's couple more...maybe because they are just so damn cute, but they have so little parts T_T

Anyway, let's just enjoy this drama peeps...although the ending is kinda predictable hoho! Now, you can watching this drama on ASTRO ONE HD too keke >__<

Marry Him If You Dare

It's been a while I have not watching any korean dramas since I'm too busy with my workload.
But when it comes to Jung Yonghwa, then it is a must watch drama keke >__<
After You're Beautiful & Heartstrings...here comes Marry Him If You Dare or Future's Choice as his third drama.

I've watched up to episode 7 and I'm really enjoying this drama as it's getting interesting...this drama is really different from the rest that I've watched and a kind of fantasy with an unique storyline. Now you can watch this series which airing on KBS World starting tonight.

This series set in the world of television broadcasting, Na Mi-rae travels back in time to prevent her 32-year-old self from marrying news anchor Kim Shin, thus sending her past self down a different path and enabling her to pursue the things she really wanted in life.

I'm not really into the others cast, so I'm going to introduce these 3 which I prefer the most haha....

Lee Dong Gun as Kim Shin

The network's lead news anchor. He can be prickly, but is also highly principled and upright.

I started to know him when he was starring in the hit series Lovers in Paris. Then, I started following his dramas such as Sweet 18, Stained Glass, Smile Again and some others. He is such a great actor and quite handsome too :p

Yoon Eun Hye as Na Mi-rae

A bright and lovable 32-year-old who spends her days chanting to herself, "I'm okay!" and barely scrapes by in her job as a call centre agent. But one day her future self appears in front of her and changes her life.  She begins to pursue her dream of becoming a television writer.

I really like her acting as she never failed to bring to life any characters that she's been playing. She has a cute smile and bright personality. She used to be a singer in group name Baby V.O.X. I like her acting since Princess Hours, Coffee Prince, My Fair Lady, Lie To Me...Missing You. But to be honest, I'm not really liking her hair style in this series... 

Last but not least, he is the main reason I'm watching this series hehe....

Jung Yong Hwa as Park Se Joo

The CEO's grandson who is set to inherit the network. He went to film school in America, and is masquerading as a lowly cameraman (or VJ). He dreams of building a media conglomerate.

His acting skills is getting better this time. But why do I have a feeling that Na Mi-rae & Kim Shin will still end up together. I really hope Mi-rae ends up with Se Joo and doesn't get rejected again like in You're Beautiful...but I wouldn't mind if Mi-rae ends up with Kim Shin either haha. As I'm watching, I've started to think..rather than whose Mi-rae gonna ends up with... is Kim Shin's character gonna change..? Well, I think he's changing now because of love... How will the future be effected?? That..we have to wait and see keke >__<

All the best "Marry Him If You Dare"!!!

* After this series wrapped up, I hope that CN BLUE will make a comeback to music industry >__< . Can't wait for another all kill from them!

You're Beautiful

Finally this big hit series which is known as Minami Shineyo / You're a Handsome Man / You're Minam / He's Beautiful...but most known it as You're Beautiful is gonna be shown at 8TV starting 12th December 2010, 8:30pm every weekdays....Actually, I've already watched this series about a year ago...and it's a must watch drama, esp to those who like Yonghwa & Hongki (only mentioned this two cuz they are the reason y I watched this series keke).

Synopsis :

Go Mi Nyu is a sister-in-training. Her twin brother Go Mi Nam successfully auditions for the musical band A.N.JELL but is forced to leave for the United States to correct a botched plastic surgery. Mi Nyu is approached by Mi Nam's manager to pose as Mi Nam while he recovers. She is against it at first but agrees in order to fulfill her dream of finding their mother. Now, posing as Mi Nam, Mi Nyu enters the group A.N.JELL and meets its members: Hwang Tae Kyung, Kang Shin Woo and Jeremy. Tae Kyung and Mi Nam have a rough start as band members. In the very first episode, Kang Shin Woo discovers that Mi Nam is a girl, but he keeps quiet because he is curious about what might happen. He discreetly helps her keep the secret and nobody realizes that he knows her true gender. Soon after that, due to an incident, Tae Kyung also discovers that Mi Nam is a girl, and confronts her about it. He actively takes on the responsibility of protecting her real identity from others (partly due to Mi Nam's manager begging him), which brings him and Mi Nam closer together. Slowly all the band members - Shin Woo, Tae Kyung and Jeremy - fall in love with Mi Nam(although Jeremy tries hard to deny it because he thinks Mi Nam is a guy). Eventually, Mi Nam admits her gender to the entire band, and they all help keep her identity secret until her brother arrives from the USA. The series ends when Mi Nam, as her real girl self, finally gets together with Tae Kyung.

Owk, I'm gonna skipped 'bout Jang Geun Seuk & Park Shin Hye cuz I'm not really into these two keke~

First, I'm gonna start with Lee Hongki (Lead Vocalist FT Island) as Jeremy.

Jaejin (Bassist), Seung Hyun (Guitarist), Minhwan (Drummer), Hongki, Jonghyun (Leader, Guitarist, Pianist & Vocal)

Antara lagu hits :- Lovesick, Thunder, Until You Come Back, After Love, Nappeun Yeojaya (Bad Woman), Missing You, I Hope, Love Love Love and many more.

Actually da lama minat this cute lil' boy...like his style of singing...he really put all his emotion into every song that he sang~ Despite his cute look....he is a very good actor. He has been acting since he was a lil' kid.

He really plays a big role to make this drama more alive, cuz he's such a mood maker with his adorable face & different hairstyle! Hongki's hairstyle alone has stirred numerous pages of discussions from online fan. People already know Hongki is already cute. However, there are times when I see his new hairstyle and I'd go 'What did they do to U, Jeremy?? But his adorableness made me ignored some of the hairstyle. 

Prince Charming

The most normal ones

Aunt Meeja' Go Bek..Snail?

Chawan Rice Bowl

The Street Fighter

Blown Howard Sten

Boyish

Ponytail

So, I prefer the normal ones...boyish & ponytail for him~

Next, is Jung Yonghwa (Vocalist, Rapper, Guitarist & Leader of CN Blue) as Kang Shin Woo.

I don't really like his hairstyle in this drama...cuz I prefer his nowadays style. Besides, they put on too much make up on him~

What can I say about him??? Umph, pretty pathetic role he got ~ 

Why?? Not because he is a bad actor...but the role itself...made him looked really pathetic loser (T_T)

Pretty sad for him, cuz no matter how hard he tried n whatsoever he had done...he won't be 2gether with Go Mi Nam (Park Shin Hye)~

He deserved someone better than her...glad that now he have Hyun buin keke~ Sweet potato couple....

So, Yong seobang (aka Yong choding)... it's owk even Mi Nam is with Tae Kyung hahaha...

He made his acting debut through this drama.

Before this he & his band CN Blue went to Japan to study and survived as an indie band n now they are a very popular band there.

They made a debut in Korea early this year a made a huge success. They are very talented n even composed  almost all their songs themselves, which turned out to be very big hit in KPop music stream~

Antara lagu hits :- I'm a Loner, Love, Love Light, Sweet Holiday, Tattoo, Black Flower, One Time, Just Please, Y Why....and many more..but the latest one's I Don't Know Why.

Jungshin (Bassist), Jonghyun (Guitarist & Vocal), Yonghwa n Minhyuk (Drummer)

So, berbalik pada drama neh...it's a must watch series...even though we already know how it is supposed to ended....

Hero with heroin....2nd hero frustrated...hero & heroin asyik gaduh jer..buat heroin menangis...2nd hero always be the one to cheer her up..but, he's the one that only suffer at the same time....

Tp, pelakon2 dier best la...ada time gelak sakan...n ada time sedey gler...especially time Jeremy buat confession kat Mi Nam dalam bus & nangis sambil nyanyi lagu I'm a fooled...~

Umph, yg tak bestnyer...bla da tayang kat cni...of course la dialih bahasa kan.....tak dpt la dgr sore serak2 manja Jeremy (suke dier sebut Jolie~) & suara2 garau n macho Shin Woo & Tae Kyung....

Lagi satu....of course la akan byk scene yg kena cut hahahaaa....

So, klu nk lg besh....belila yg original or...tgk jer on9 hahahaa (^^,)v

Tp....skunk me tgh ikut cter Sungkyunkwan Scandal kat KBS World..Menarik gak cter dier..lebey kurang sama ngan cter You're Beautiful gak...which the heroin menyamar jd lelaki jgk~

Overlap la plak timing dier...umph....By right, this series should be ended at that time....so, takde masalahla~

 I'm a Yongseo Shipper~
