Wonderful Life (K-drama)


Hey guys!! I know that it's been a while since I've updated!!! ~sorry!!!
so, anyway..since hehe..=) a couple of my friends have been telling me to update.. I am going to update this blog! hehe..=) at least today! I have no promises about tomorrow!! haha..

So, I'm going to talk about this drama called a Wonderful Life. It's a K-drama.. It starts out with a guy and a girl meeting on the plane heading to Singapore. The guy was going to Singapore to meet his girlfriend whereas the girl was going to Singapore to "meet" her lover.. who died in Singapore in order to save a drowning tourist. Well..things happened.. they switched their passports, the girl left her backpack in the guy's taxi and it turns out that the guy's lover was actually two timing him with a rich guy.. (are you guys getting confused?) anyway..so well..they somehow ended up with a one night stand..which caused the girl to become pregnant.

Anyway, the story goes on from there..The father actually didn't know that the girl was pregnant and only found out after the baby was born. And then they decided to get married. And other things happened.. the guy's lover wants to steal the guy back whereas the girl.. haha..this is going to sound complicated.. the girl is in love with a guy that the guy's lover was two timing with!! haha..(get it?) anyway..that's what happened!! and that guy that the guy's lover was two timing with loves the girl too!! and soo..they have to go through all the difficulties for their family.. and well, I guess you can just watch and enjoy the rest that goes on in that drama!! haha...

I would rate the drama to be a 8/10. It's pretty funny in the beginning but then it kind of strecthed out in the end and it got kind of boring and long-winded.. haha..=P but I still like it!! ~haha.. it was very funny..and good!!


Main actors/actresses:
Kim Jae Won as Hang Seung Wan (the guy)
Eugene as Jung Se Jin (the girl)
Lee Ji Hoon as Min Do Hyun (the guy that the guy's lover was two timing with)
Han Eun Jung as Lee Chae Young (the guy's lover that was two timing)

Devil Beside You






As I wrote in the post in actor ratings, I am going to post about this drama...Devil Beside You..This drama is about this girl, Qi Yue (played by Rainie Yang).. She has a major crush on the captain of the Basketball Team, Yuan Yi (played by Kingone). Her friends somehow encouraged her to confess her feelings towards Yuan Yi..and Qi Yue decides to write a love letter for Yuan Yi..The next day however... holding the love letter in her hand, head bent, Yuan Yi walks right past her.. When she finally looks up, she sees Jiang Meng (played by Mike He), who is the school director's soon.. also known as a devil since it is his hobby to bully girls. When she saw him she got scared and ran, and she also left her love letter behind.

Knowing that it is a love letter, Jiang Meng decides to bully Qi Yue.. He orders Qi Yue to be his servant, otherwise the letter will be revealed to the rest of the school. Qi Yue can't do anything but follow his orders. But as the story continues on, Qi Yue discovers that she actually likes Meng... and Meng also likes her... But, actually they can not be together..because they are about to become brother and sister...Puzzled? Confused? Watch this drama to find out what happens...
I would totally recommend this drama!! It's really good..One of the best Taiwanese drama that I have ever watched..It's somewhat like Meteor Garden... I give it a rating of 8.5/10...

Main actors/actresses:

Mike He as Jiang Meng 江猛

14 sai no Haha (14 year old Mother)




This drama...as the name indicates.. it's about a girl who is 14 but became pregnant. This drama is really touching somehow... although there's a lot of people who actually do not really like this dama.But I like it... This drama shows how a childish 14 year old matures as she becomes pregnant... It also shows how things around her change (how people around her treats her differently as soon as they know that she is pregnant)..Also, her pregnancy doesn't really have a smooth ride.. There's a lot of complications with her pregnancy because shes very young..and her body hasn't developed yet or something...

I admit that the start of this drama is actually very slllooww...But, it picks up I guess.. I don't know..I couldn't stop watching this drama..and the actress is also very good, even though she's still very young!!! This is one of the dramas that you guys should definitely put on your list to watch!! I would give it a 8.5/10... I totally enjoyed watching this drama!!!!

Main actress
Shida Mirai as Ichinose Miki (the 14 year old mom)

Teppan Shoujo Akane


Basically this drama is about the Akane family who own a teppanyaki place in Tokyo.. So, it's mostly about this girl, Kagura Akane played by Horikita Maki (who is in Nobuta wo Produce).. well, she's the only daughter of the Akane family...and she is really proud of her father Tetsuma Akane..who is the Number 1 teppanyaki chef in Japan. hehe..=P But she herself has some pretty amazing skills herself too.. But, sadly..when her mom died, her father became kinda uninterested with his work and dissapeared..haha...and so Kagura Akane.. had to protect her family's restaurant all by herself.. But..this is not the end of the story guys..one day, this girl who is a rich daughter of a major food company comes by her restaurant and tells her to move out. she said that akane's dad had borrowed some money...and the restaurant is kind of in their hands..so, Akane decided to close the store.she was feeling really down by then and well, kind of dissapointed I guess..But, her father's friend shows her a grilling pan that her father really liked to make teppanyaki in..and this made her like teppanyaki again..So, she makes up her mind to close the store and look for her father..But...hehehe...everywhere she goes..she ends up in a battle!!! (a cooking battle..) hehe..=)

Well, at first I thought this drama was okay..but towards the end..hehe..NOT ANYMORE..it got kinda boring..cuz all you see each episode is like a cooking battle!! so, it got uninteresting after some point...For me at least...The ratings for this drama isn't that high either..anyway, I guess if I have to rate it..a 6/10..haha..(is that being kinda mean?) but I didn't really like it..haha...BUT, if you like to cook and stuff..this drama would b interesting for you guys...I admit that the food looks delicious..hahaha...

Goong (Princess Hours)



This is a great K-drama!! seriously.. hehe..they are even making a sequel to it goong 2..and Goong S (special goong) is currently airing in Korea!! But, Goong S isn't the same at all like Goong.. Goong S has different characters and everything.. Goong 2 is the sequel to this very funny drama.. hehe...=)this is one of the best dramas that I have ever watched..and it is really entertaining and funny!!

This drama Goong is based on a manga by Park So Hee. It's about a story of youg love in the face of tradition and politics... It tells us about the Korean Royal Family who lives in a grand palace..but the reputation of the Royal Family is declining and to make things look better for the royal family, the palace decides to marry off the Crown Prince (Lee Shin)..also since the story began about the king being terminally ill, this prepares the Crown Prince, Shin as an immediate succesor. The thing is though, Shin's grandfather made a promise to another man when he was younger to marry off their grandchildren together.. and so, Shin's bride to be is Shin Chae Gyung..a very spirited girl...which is completely the opposite of Shin, who is more mature and composed..and very cool...But as you know, the story doesn't end that way..It's a korean drama..so you expect more drama... hehe..=) so, then..comes this other character Lee Yul (he's Shin's cousin and also the former Crown Prince..his father died..so he had to let go of his position as a Crown Prince).. He has been living in England for the last 14 years but he appears in Korea all of the sudden. He ends up being in the same school and the same class as Chae Gyung. He almost immediately fell in love with Chae Gyung... and he tries to break the unsteady marriage of Shin and Chae gyung appart and well, basically he is very evil!!!!! also, Chae Gyung's and Shin's marriage can also fall apart because of shin's ex-girlfriend..Min Hyo Rin..so..watch it and figure out whether Shin and Chae Gyung can stay till the end or whether the hardships that they meet break them apart..You got to watch this!!! hehe..=)

I would give this drama a 9.5/10..It's really good and Shin is really hot!! hehe..=) oh yeah, and they have really good OSTs..seriously!!!! Like Perhaps Love by Howl & J..that song is beeaauuttiiffuull..hehe...

Yoon Eun Hye as Shin Chae Gyung
Joo Ji Hoon as Lee Shin

Since I wrote about Hana Yori Dango..it'll only make sense if I wrote about Meteor Garden right? and Kind of compare them? hehe..=) well, the story line is basically the same..(since they were based on the same manga anyway)..honestly speaking though, I like Meteor Garden better than Hana Yori Dango though..so, basically it's the same story..San Chai (or Makino Tsukushi) in Hana Yori Dango is really poor, but somehow she got accepted into Ying De, a really famous school for all the rich people..hehe..=) well, in Hana Yori Dango it's high school while in Meteor Garden Ying De is a college.. hehe..=) so anyway, basically San Chai angers Dao Ming Shi (Tsukasa) the leader of F4 and then her life in college turned completely upside down. hehe..=) from being un-noticed to becoming the target of the school.. and then..she falls in love with one of the members of F4, not Dao Ming Shi though..but then Dao Ming Shi falls in love with San Chai..hehe..=) it's a very good love story..although I have to say tha Meteor Garden 2, the sequel was really dissapointing!!!!!!! but if you haven't watched Meteor Garden 1..u definitely should..it's the BOMB..haha..because of this, I totally fell in love with Hua Zhe Lei and Vic Zhou too!! hehe..=) and the guys are hot..Hotter than the dudes in Hana Yori Dango!! hehe..=)...seriously!! u gotta watch it!! and also, this drama was really popular in almost all the countries in Asia... like Taiwan, China (obviously), South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, well..and lots more..haha..=) just can't seem to remember the names of the countries right now..haha..

Hana Yori Dango season 1


actually I am currently watching Hana Yori Dango season 2..but that series just started and also only a couple of episodes just got out and so I don't really wanna write anything about it yet..cuz I don't know how it's going to turn out..hehe..=) so I'm just going to write about season 1..although it's been a while since I watched it.haha..=) Okay, so basically this drama is based on the Manga "Boys over flower"in the US..or in Japan Hana Yori Dango..(hahaha)..oh yeah, and Taiwan made a drama out of it too..it's called Meteor Garden (Liu Xing Hua Yuan)..and there's two seasons to that too..haha..I watched both..but I really have to say that number 1 is sooo much better than number 2..(for Meteor Garden..still do not know for Hana Yori Dango)..anyway, basically it's about this girl..she's not rich at all..and she goes to this school for rich people..it's called Eitoku.. it's for the upper class people..and apparently, this girl (Makino Tsukushi) is not one of them..haha..=)..


The school is basically dominated by 4 guys who call themselves F4 (Flower 4)..everyone is scared..because they are so powerfull..and then, they give out Red Tags (a declaration of war basically) to people they do not like and basically if you do get a Red Tag, the whole school will bully you and turn against you..even your best friend wouldn't want to talk to you... haha..(I know, this will never happen in real life right? hehe).. So one day Tsukushi angers the F4 leader, Tsukasa.. and well, she ends up getting a red tag..haha.. well, things go really bad for her..but then... things happen..haha..as usual.."love happens"... basically she fell in love with one of the members of F4 (I'm not telling you which one..but if you watched Meteor Garden, you prolly know the answer anyway..) but then the leader of F4, Tsukasa falls in love with her.. haha..so all I can tell you is that YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH THIS DRAMA!!! To rate this drama, I would give it a 9.5/10..It's really good!! haha...

Death Note 1



This movie is based on the anime and manga Death Note. It's a simplified version though. There's two parts to this movie..well, I've only watched the 1st part of this movie though. the 2nd one is still in theatres in Asia..so I have no means of watching it now. But, the first part is on Youtube...so you can watch it there if you want to. So, basically this movie is about this really smart guy, Yagami Light finding a notebook..called the "Death Note"...in the manga and anime..he was still a high school student when he found this "Death Note" but in the movies, he was a college student. Anyway, that's not important..haha..so this "Death Note"...it's a black notebook and if you write someone's name in it, you can kill him/her...and Yagami Light starts killing all these criminals..and he becomes real famous..and he's called "Kira" by everyone..but the police and detectives don't like it..and they are trying to find out who "Kira" really is...and well, this guy "L" (nobody knows his real name) is the one in charge of finding "Kira.".. Like Yagami Light "L" is also a genius..and one of the people he suspects to be "Kira" is Yagami Light [which is true, but nobody knows it..] and well..yeah...it's a battle between the geniuses..haha...I know it sounds really complicated..but I can only tell you that it's really good..well, this movie is really good!! I really like it..and the manga and the anime's also really good...[they finished the manga already but the anime is still in production..] you guys should watch the movie and the anime.b/c the movie is really shortened..haha..and I can't wait to watch the 2nd part of this movie..hahaha

I'll give this movie a rating of 9.5/10..It's really good!!! and also because the Shinigami in the movie looks exactly like the Shinigami in the manga and the anime!! It's excellent!!!

Main actors:

Light Yagami - Tatsuya Fujiwara
L - Kenichi Matsuyama

Ns' Aoi







This drama is based on a manga... It's about a new nurse, her name is Misora Aoi..and this drama is basically about the troubles/problems she has while being a nurse..She is a 3rd year nurse at a pretty prestigious hospital..but she was involved in trouble in the ER and so she is transferred to another hospital..and her job is to take care of patients who survived the ER... and she meets a lot of dishnonest doctors, and also a lot of unskilled doctors..and well, she discovers that there's a lot of hospital politics..=) and she finds out the truth, that hospitals care more about profits than they do about patients..but she still takes care of patients really well..But, the harder she tries it seems that the doctors in the hospital dislike her even more...but with the help of another nurse and a doctor, she gradually changes the minds of people around her...


It's a pretty good drama, and according to the Oricon..it is one of the best dramas of the year..(i forgot the rank though)..but it's ratings were pretty high..I like it..I'd give it an 8.5/10... haha..but I still have to say that if you are looking forward to watching a medical drama, Iryu is the one that you would wanna watch..but this is pretty good too!!!!

Summer Scent


This is the 3rd "seasonal" work that director Yoon Suk Ho made. The first one was autumn tale, the second one was winter sonata..summer scent is the third...while the last one is spring waltz. This is a drama about love and about fate. So Yoo Min Woo played by Song Seung Heon had someone he loved, Soh Eun Hye (played by Shin Ae). Eun Hye also loved Min Woo. But one day Eun Hye got into a car accident and dies... but her heart was transplanted into a girl called Shim Hye Won (played by Soh Yeh Jin), who suffered heart disease since she was a child. Anyways, being heart broken, Min Woo goes to Paris...but when he returns to Korea, he meets Hye won..when they first met, Hye won's heart beats faster when she is around Min Woo.

Hye Won feels weird/jittery around Min Woo..The thing is, Hye Won already has a boyfriend and also her boyfriend's sister likes Min Woo...(sounds complicated doesn't it?)...hehe..anyway, Min Woo also likes Hye Won but then he feels that he is betraying Eun Hye's love when he finds out that he is falling for Hye Won...It's kind of complicated..haha...well, I guess this is what makes it a drama right? anyway, this drama is pretty good..but you got to watch it yourself to see the ending. I would give this drama an 8/10...It's okay..but it kinda lags too..hehe..=P and the ending, I can't say that I really like it..hehe..

Orange Days



When I first watched this drama, I kinda fell asleep..but then this drama turned out to be a really good drama..hehe..=P so, if you are watching this drama and falling asleep, do not b afraid..huahuahua..anyway, this drama is about Kai Yuuki played by Tsumabuki Satoshi (drool).. He is in his last year in the university..and he's looking for a job. but, so far..he has not found one..one day, he sees a girl playing a violin....she has a very bad personality and temper..and she's also hard of hearing. (she used to be able to hear but then her hearing deteriorated..) she's still very good though, although she kinda needs to hear to be able to play the violin. This girl, Sae Hagio closed off her inner self from the outside world..but then after meeting Kai, she kinda changed...and they became friends..and lots happen too..
