Chasing Mavericks

Actually I would not have watched this on my own only because I didn't know about it. But i ended up liking it. If I cry to it, that's how I know I enjoyed it.

Short Summary:

Boy grows up loving surfing. In the meantime, he is always near his childhood sweetheart and also has family issues of his own. Like I said, he likes to surf so in order to ride the big waves, a guy teaches him how to handle it. (Based on a true story.) They also show you a little interview of the real guy at the end of the movie.

I really liked the part towards the end (I'm not spoiling it here), when he asks what are you afraid of.. It really made me think of what I personally am afraid of, but just like the main character I felt like I didn't want to know..

What are you afraid of?

Flower Boy Next Door

    So I had just started watching this like....maybe 3 days ago? It was a drama that an acquaintance recommended. I was a little skeptical because it has the same leading actress from 'You're Beautiful', and 'Heartstrings'. I was disappointed at the ending of You're Beautiful and I still haven't watched any other episode other than the 1st episode of Heartstrings just because I was disappointed that they made CNBlue guy a total jerk.
    But after giving it a try (Flower Boy Next Door that is), I actually liked it. As usual I fell in love with the side man. In this case he is called Oh Jin Rak/Oh Jae Won (the two names will make sense once you see the drama). So let's get to the details:
Title:  이웃집 꽃미남/ Flower Boy Next Door
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Episodes: 16 total
Release Date: 7 January 2013
Cast: Park Shin Hye as Go Dok Mi, Yoon Shi Yoon as Enrique Geum, Kim Ji Hoon as Oh Jin Rak / Oh Jae Won, Park Soo Jin as Cha Do Hwi, Next Door Boys: Go Kyung Pyo as Yoo Dong Hoon, Mizuta Kouki (미즈타 코우키) as Watanabe Ryu, Kim Jung San as Han Tae Joon

    Summary: Go Dok Mi is a shy girl who rarely leaves her apartment 402, but she isn't shy in peeping across the street to look into another apartment's window, where her crush lives in. Meanwhile Oh Jin Rak and his roommate Yoo Dong Hoon live next door in apartment 401. Oh Jin Rak works as a web cartoonist, and has had a thing for Go Dok Mi for 3 years but never actually said anything. Meanwhile a new guy shows up in the scene called Enrique Geum who just came from Spain and is a famous game designer. He has that happy-careless attitude, so it's hard to tell when he's serious.
    Ok this is getting too detailed. Basically its a bunch of crushes back and forth, but at the end of the day the shy girl is the main character since there's two guys that try to get her to be more sociable and more comfortable around other people.

    So there it is. I honestly do recommend this drama. It's sweet. There aren't any characters that aren't extremely annoying, and you can take your pick on the guy you think is hot.
    I do have to say that it does follow the typical korean drama storyline where the girl falls for the guy that's just a bit annoying. For some reason I always end up wanting to have the main girl fall for the nice guy, but it never happens. :/ But at least the main guy isn't a total asshole like usual. Most times they end up being jerks! But not this time. He has that kiddy personality that just brightens anyones day.
    Watch it here: WATCH  This is from dramafever. You don't need to make an account. I just make one because it keeps track of what episodes I have seen , and I can also make a queue.

  Happy drama watching. v^^o

666 Park Avenue

Have you heard of the new show 666 Park Avenue thT aired on ABC Channel? If you have, congrats for you! ^^ Honestly I just found out about this show 2 days ago, and I love it. But I got angry once I found out that it was canceled! And for what? Because it didn't get the desired ratings so ABC have decided to cancel it. They will stick to the original 13 episodes for the fans (like me) who do like it, to watch it finish and not just leave us hanging like that!

For those of you who have not watched it, it's about s building in New York close to central park with the address 999 Park Avenue. The building is called the Drake. We follow a couple who move in there but a lot of creppy things happen; people disappearing, the dead coming back on a killing mission, fake obituaries coming true, and a mysterious spiral case.

Of course there is plenty more but then it would just be better for you to watch it than me just telling you everything. :P It's actually a little scary for me sometimes even though I know it's coming and I'm going to jump, but it's not like those scary movies that have endless supply of blood and guts spilling everywhere nor the ones that don't have stories and are only concerned about scaring you therefore making for a shitty plot line. 666 Park Avenue isn't that.

But this is the second time it's happened. I find a show that I like for once and find out that it's gonna be canceled!!!! TT_TT The first show was Terra Nova; a bunch of people are tired of living in their overly poluted future and want to start fresh lives in the past. Like waaaay in the past, when dinosaurs used to live.

I think Terra Nova also didn't get "enough" ratings and was canceled. (There has been some discussion of netflix picking it uo, but as a netflix user I haven't seen any progress on that.) Have they ever considered that they didn't advertise it enough for people to know about it?

Channels need new ways of commercials reaching viewers. Like advertising a show but on a different channel or introducing actors in talk shows like the Talk or the View, etc... For example, the only way I found out that Once Upon A Time was starting their second season was because they mentioned it on a commercial in Disney channel. Once!!!!

Personally I dont't really watch the general ABC channel simply because I find it boring. They don't have shows that are to my taste.

Anyway, my post is getting kinda long. Let's see if they take my advice and stop being so harsh on shows. Maybe if they let them run as planned it would gain more viewers...

Full House 2

   Today is a great day because? I'm going to talk about FULL HOUSE 2!!!!!!! :D :D :D

   I haven't talked about the first Full House Drama, so I'll mention it here as an introduction. Full House (the first one) actually came out in 2004 and has a total of 16 episodes. The only actor I remember from this drama is the awesome Bi (Rain) who's also an awesome and sexy singer, who also has his own music company. Although the last thing I've heard of him is that he's doing his military duties.
 
   Anyways :P, the first Full House is about a small writer named Han Ji Eun (the girl in Bi's arms) who got swindled from all of her money and her house. Stranded in China she manages to borrow money from Lee Young Jae (Bi), to return to South Korea. She tries to get everything back (including her house) by signing into a marriage contract with the person who ended up buying her house. They have difficulties at first but they soon become accustomed to rely on each other as business partners and as lovers. ^^ Which I now move on to Full House 2.

  Full House 2, also known as 풀하우스TAKE2 ,or Full House Take 2 and features the very hot No Min Woo who was also in the drama My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and Pasta. Though you can tell he lost some weight for this role.
  There is also Park Ki Woong (very hot), Hwang Jung Eum (someone didn't tell her that her perm makes her look like an old lady. Her hair on the cover is not what it actually looks like in the drama. It looks much worse.), and Yoo Seol Ah (the mean girl that no one likes).
  Dramawiki says Full House 2 has 16 episodes and that it's broken down into two, but from my count there is 32 episodes so far. And so far the story doesn't actually follow from the first drama Full House, so you don't need to see the first one before this one.
  This drama is about a man, Lee Tae Ik (played by No Min Woo) who is part of a boy band with Won Kang Hwi (played by Park Ki Woong) who is working in order to buy his house back. He's your basic kdrama asshole who is stuborn and only wants to do this his way but is actually nice when people aren't looking.

   Then comes Jang Man Ok with her old lady hair, who works in her grandfather's martial arts studio. Somehow she becomes involved with Lee Tae Ik, and becomes the groups fashion consultant/designer. Conveniently her grandfather is out of town this whole time, so she fools him to believe that she is perfectly fine and still doing her 'duties' at the studio.

   But to make things more annoyingly complicated, Jin Se Ryung (played by Yoo Seol Ah) comes into the picture. She used to be in a relationship with Lee Tae Ik, but he found her out sucking face with Won Kang Hwi. It was fake but nonetheless convincing enough to end their relationship.  It's a mystery as to why she came back, but now everyone has to deal with her. >:P Oh and they are all living in the same house.
