Beginnings Of Summer

   Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while. School gets in the way....especially when you add homework due in every class + procrastination = one hell of a mess. xD I brought it up on myself anyways so I'm just dealing with it. I have no complaints. Well maybe if I actually did my homework on-time....that would make things work out better. Anyways, yes I do have some free time even through all this chaos. Actually, one of my close friends told me there's a drama for one of my fave mangas (that just happens to be one of his favorites too), so I'm watching that now. Marmalade Boy? Heard of it? ( aka 橘子醬男孩 / Ju Zi Jiang Nan Hai ) 
   Released in 2002 with a taiwanese cast and a total of 30 episodes (i know! wow!!), it's mostly about family issues and how it brings these two together. ^^ I don't know if I'm actually enjoying the drama because I've already read the manga like 4 times already. I guess it's just fun to watch and see how the producers put the story together compared to the book. And you know, their names are translated so that's a little twist right there. A lame one but a twist nonetheless.

   Besides watching Marmalade Boy, I've started watching this new drama called Personal Taste. Other websites have it under 'Personal Preference', but it's the same thing anyway. I've tried to get my friend to watch it, but I guess he just doesn't like pretty boys in general.... T.T   The drama is really good too! TT_TT It even has the main actor from another kdrama called Boys Before Flowers. 
   Personally I prefer the japanese drama, simply because it's a lot closer to the story from the manga and I don't like how the korean version because makes it seem like these jerks that run the school really are cruel with nothing else to do except bully people. I don't know, to me they just make the situation a little bit too extreme for me.

   But back to what I was originally talking about!!!! Personal Taste released in 2010; broadcasted on MBC as we SPEAK, it's about a guy, Jeon Ji Hon, who pretends to be gay in order to stay at the SangGaelJae. Meanwhile, the owner has a habbit for sloppiness, and not being the most flashy girl.
   I guess you just have to see the drama to know the other details of the story. Basically the first episode starts out like this= girl has a girl roommate. girl finds out her roommate is about to marry her boyfriend who's also ends up breaking up with her. girl finds out her best friend took a BUNCH of money from her to invest in what he thought was a good deal, but ends up being swindled by gangsters, and runs away. What is this girl to do with a broken heart and an empty bank account? To watch Personal Taste, click here.
