裸足でバラを踏め

     Lately, this weekend I have been taking my time off and contemplating on not dealing with the shitty school I have to not deal right now as I have explained here. But that's not what I am going to talk about now. I want to talk about this manga that I have recently seen in my local library, and I decided to look up online for the volumes that I don't have physical access to, and I have to say, LOVIN IT! :D

English Title: Stepping on Roses

Original Japanese Title: 裸足でバラを踏め (Habashi de Bara wo Fume)

Mangaka: Ueda Rinko (lately I have listed this as 'author and artist', but because there's an actual word for it, let's use it. For the mangas , or books that do have a separate author from the artist, then I'll list it as such.) I love her drawing style, and so far I am in love with this story, so I'm thinking of checking out some of her other series that are already finished.

It gets so annoying to read stories that aren't finished, and I don't want to get tons of emails that are just updates for a manga that has only released another chapter. Graasdfanwfnas!

Here is where you can read it, although they haven't finished putting it up there. So in technical terms, it's not done yet.

UPDATE: I have recently downloaded an app on my ipad (it's also available on iphone), called Manga Rock 2. In other words it's a manga reading app. I will talk more in detail about this later, but I wanted to let people know that 裸足でバラを踏め is also available to read once the app is downloaded (for free). Just make sure to look it up by it's english title. Sometimes websites are weird like that. Sometimes you can find something with the original japanese title but not in english and vise versa...

As far as I know, I am still not sure if they have finished this manga thus far...

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. -_-
