Changes and Updates

     So as I have mentioned in my opinion page, I'm going to do some changes to my blog. Cuz I feel like my blog isn't very personal, or anything that makes it different from other blogs that says "hey. here's this drama. go watch it" uknow? I want to add more of my opinions and interests, so that this blog isn't so boring. I don't really care about haters, or people that just drop by once saying "love your blog" when in reality they've only read 3 posts or something.
     The content of this page won't change since I still like to talk about movies, dramas and all that good stuff. Which I still haven't mentioned the ones that I'm watching and reading at the moment. xD I've been so busy with my finals lately, that I can't afford to procrastinate that much, or avoid doing my work just because I don't want to do it.

     As said, I hope that those who visit my blog after these changes will be more interested in keeping in touch with me, and seeing what I will post next.

     I've also added an art page, on the tabs on top of this blog, to connect my readers to my artwork. Just as a brief introduction: I have an account on www.deviantart.com where I post all of my artwork, even the shitty ones. And I'm just too lazy to repost all of that artwork in my blog, so I'm just creating a link so it's easier to go to. You can see my work under the gallery tab.

     Then...let's see....

     I'll also be adding my personal touch to my blog by making my own banners and background so I don't get yelled at by "waa you don't have copyright!!". So just to be safe, I'll make my own.

     Otherwise, just be prepared for a bit of a change. I think it's time to add some freshness.

Queen Inhyun's Man/ 인현왕후의 남자

Release Date: 18 April 2012

Total Episodes: 16

Genre: Romance, Historical, Time Travel

With the awesome Ji Hyun Woo as Kim Bung Do (who is also in The Birth Of The Rich Man kdrama)

and the lovely Yoo In Na as Choi Hee Jin

Just looking at the poster for this kdrama, I immediately was thinking TIME TRAVEL!!!

Of course, as cheesy as this may sound at times, time travel plots really do interest me. Plus I always daydream about what it would be like if I time traveled to someplace in this earth in the past. What do you think about?

I've said this before in my other posts, that I don't always like kdramas since they feel a bit too dramatic for my taste, though this one fascinates me because of the history. 

Summary: Kim Bung Do lives in the Joseon Dynasty (1694), and Choi Hee Jin lives in South Korea in the year 2012. Kim Bung Do receives a talisman from a gisaeng (kind of like the equivalent of a geisha) that protects his life whenever he faces deathly situations and thus travels 300 years into the future. There he meets Choi Hee Jin, and all the crazy modern/technological stuff in 2012 South Korea.   Choi Hee Jin is an actress who is currently playing the role of Queen In Hyun in a TV drama (that also happens to take place in during the Joseon Dynasty). There is also a political side to this story but this is where I usually stop reading and loose interest because it just becomes complicating, and just feel like watching it. xD It's ironic because the political side is what keeps wondering what's going to happen next. 

Currently, there are still 6 episodes yet to be available. (from the time of writing this) I really love this drama, and hope that others enjoy my passion to encounter on a movie/drama adventure. ^^

Manny

A story about a male nanny (hence the word manny), who takes care of 2 children who's mother is divorced and makes clothes, and aunt who is in charge of a modeling agency. By the way, all of these people live in the same house. As with many korean dramas, the house is very western and luxurious. I'm starting to think that western houses is a sign of luxury? The only drama where I've seen 'luxury' as a concept, is where a family has a huge estate that is the traditional korean home.

Genre: Romantic Comedy, Family, Fashion

Released: 13 April 2011

Cast: Suh Ji Suk as Lee Han

Choi Jung Yoon as Seo Do Young

Byun Jung Soo as Janice (my favorite one ^^)

Jung Da Bin as Oh Eun Bi

Goo Seung Hyun as Oh Jung Min

Kim Sook as Goo Hyun Jung

Seo Woo Jin as Lee Joon Ki

I personally think this drama is WAY too dramatic in terms of the characters feelings; especially with the mother and her 2 kids. Seriously, calm down. xD So I only watched it till the end because I wanted to see how they would end the story. That always gets to me when the story isn't that good, but I'm too curious to let it go. -_-

Anima and Nausicaa

Recently,

I made account on a certain manga website.

1) you can keep bookmarks on what you read. 

Before this, I kept adding more page tabs on my toolbar which then, 

it's overwhelming when you read a manga almost every day.

2) You can organize the ones you are currently reading, 

from the ones you WILL read in the future.

Now I find myself reading more.

So I wanted to talk about two that I have finished reading.

+Anima プラスアニマ

Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Comedy

Mangaka: Mukai Natsumi

Released: January 2001-2005

       In this world, people have anima; powers of animals (bear, bat, fish, etc) marked by a tattoo. Cooro, Husky, Senri, and Nana are our main characters, traveling to different places and encountering new understandings about themselves and others, meeting others who have anima and don't have anima.

     Basically, we follow them and learn how people become an anima, and the personal background stories of our main characters. Most main characters are children.

     I liked it because it kept me interested in the story line and finding out about things. I loved the characters, and the different places where events happen. I wished it was longer. ^^

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 風の谷のナウシカ

Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi, 

Mangaka: Miyazaki Hayao

Released: 1982-1994

This was also released as a movie in 1984 as part of the Studio Ghibli,

which is also popular for the movies Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo,

Grave of the Fireflies (personally I have only seen the live-action movie so far), Princess Mononoke, The Cat Returns, Howl's Moving Castle,

and recently The Secret World of Arrietty.

Despite how old this manga may be, I still really enjoyed it. It feels like the audience is older than Miyazaki's usual 6year old group, yet still keeping that youthful viewpoint through most of the characters in this story. The world is like this: dangerous to live in, gigantic bugs, and a forest that eats up everything and creates a sort of "pollen" in the process that is very dangerous to breathe in. Nausicaa is a townboy princess who has a love for life and all animals. A huge war had happened and now they live with the environmental costs.

It really gives you a new perspective on environmental issues, and I would certainly use this as part of the world that we live in today.
