Summary: Ji-ho is a promising pianist, who has been studying and playing piano abroad for years. But one night she had a stage fright and never recovers. In despair, Ji-ho comes back home and meets her childhood friend Sung-ryong. Sung-ryong is the towns' fool and no one expects much from him, but Sang soo (his best friend) will say otherwise. 

A beautiful movie about a mans' innocent way to life, Babo: Miracle of Giving Fool made me cry. TT_TT

Why did I like it? First, no one died of cancer....and it was a beautiful love between a man and his family and his childhood friend. And, it takes some time away from my busy schedule to sit down and watch a good movie.

That, and I am still in search for watching another drama for the moment.

I present you....tan tan taaaaan: the trailer. wuhu!

Don't worry about the movie not have subtitles, I just couldn't find a trailer with subtitles. >< 

ほんとすみません。

Great Concert

An update on my life:


went to Utada Hikaru concert and,
IT WAS GREAT!
it was at The House of Blues in Chicago City.
the room was a bit small too, but it was sold out!
it was all standing,
so now i deal with back pain. ><


nonetheless, it was great and she sounds great
live.


now, with first 2 weeks of 2nd semester,
I have 2 tests coming up, so I really have to study. ><
I hope I don't fail math class.

You're Beautiful

Now that college is keeping me busy (here and there) with homework, I've found awesome ways to avoid it. xD Gosh, I'm so lazy....and a procrastinator. >< But, who cares? As long as the work is done, and turned in, and I get A or B....I'm good. So besides reading Hot Gimmick, and finally finishing up with the drama Kiina, I decided to watch You're Beautiful. The guys seemed hot....and I saw many people liking it, so why not?

Also known as: 미남이시네요/You’re Handsome, A.N.JELL
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Family
Release: 7 October 2009
Episodes: 16
Cast of A.N.JELL:
Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung

Summary: Go Mi Nyu is a sweet nun-to-be and dreams of nothing other than to be a full-fledged nun. But when Ma Hoon Yi pops up in her life, everything changes (ironic right?). He tells her there is bad news with her twin brother Go Mi Nam and he needs her help until his problem is fixed. How can she help? Join a famous music group and pretend to be her brother until he gets back. The problem? This is a boys' group. How can she keep her secret to the rest of the band members, and will she be able to fulfill her brothers' dreams?


  At first, I didn't want to see this drama because I figured: korean drama = someone getting cancer or girl liking the jerk guy leaving the nicer guy to the curb. Ok, so it is pretty much predictable after episode....7?, but it's interesting to watch. It's entertaining! I love kpop, so watching a drama about a 'kpop' group with a gender-mix is a dream come true. Although there are things that I don't agree with, but nonetheless I still watched it. What the heck? I wanted to know the ending. I mean, it would suck to watch 10 episodes and all of a sudden quit watching it!
  Oh yea! The main girl in the drama...a lot of times she can be very innocent which makes me go "CMON! CAN'T YOU SEE HE LIKES YOU!?!?!?!?!?!", .... but that's part of the fun of watching a drama, right? xD

Kiina: Impossible Crime Investigation

I'm a bit sad to end watching this drama. 
It was really good too! ほんとにいいでした！
I wonder if they will make a second series...




Well,
now it's time to start another one. ^^v ね？

Introducing....KIINA
Alternate Title: キイナ：不可能犯罪捜査官：/ Impossible Crime Investigator
Genre: Mystery, Detective, Comedy
Episodes: 9
Release: January 29 2009
Theme Song: Change The World by: Michi
Summary: Haruse Kiina seems like a normal 29y.o. at first glance, but in fact,
she is head of a special investigation unit dealing with strange cases. 
Remember the actress from Hataraki Man ?
She is in this drama too, and as usual she is a workaholic.
She forgets to eat and sleep, until the case is solved.
You would like a job like that right? xD just kidding...

Anyways, this will be the drama I will watch for the time being.
Now that school is starting, maybe this will encourage me not to eat and sleep
until I finish my work. xD

died in an accident. And for more shocking news, she also had a daughter that
