President (Kdrama)


Well to tell you the truth, I only got interested with this because of Sungmin. Haha!

Sungmin was also named Sungmin in this drama. Haha! I dunno why, but at least it was easy for him to get used to his character. But he is sort of like the bane for his father. He wants to help in the campaign but usually ruins

it. He did become helpful before the end.

It is a very serious drama full of lies and shows how dirty politics can be. I began to realize that politics can never be clean, even in other countries. It shows how hard it is to be in politics and for the weak-hearted trying to

pursue a political career...they will surely fall afterwards.

The story revolved around the nominations within the New Wave Party. Yes within the party. That was the exciting part. The national campaign was dull compared to that.

I like Jang Iljun's character though. Well the way he speaks can really make you fall for his words. Haha! Such a perfect politician! And to think he is young and got the looks and knowledge that would make people vote

for him. But it wasn't an easy road for him. You can't imagine the scope of things that had to be done to let him be president. So many lives destroyed and sacrificed just to get him to the top. How frustrating it had been

but he had to move on for the people that sacrificed their lives. Thus he became president and who knows how he was as a president. Hope it was worth the lives lost. It ended when he won.

One thing to watch out for Yesung-fans like me...his song with Luna for Jay and his love interest! *cries*

Mary Stayed Out All Night [aka Marry Me, Mary] (Kdrama)


At first, I shouldn't watch this because it stars Moon Geun Young. yeah...MOON GEUN YOUNG!!!! My Yesung-oppa's ideal girl for 10 years already!!!! GRRRRRRRR!!!! But I couldn't help it...the teaser was cute. I had to watch it.

She was paired-up with Jang Geun Seunk. Nice pair. They should be together then. Hahahaha! No seriously...they looked cute together. And in fairness...I couldn't hate Geun Young-ssi as Mary. She really can pull off any role. From an overly seriously character from Cinderella's Stepsister to one cute cat in this drama. Yeah, she looks like a cat. Meow! My friend even calls her Garfield. LOL

As for Jang Geun Seuk...he's another guy to envy! For goodness sake...how can I guy look like that? My gosh...girls would get insecure if they hang out with him. Grrrr. He truly is Heechul-oppa's friend. And I think He is also Yesung-oppa's friend. Oooopppsss...there's a connection! Andwae!!!!

My heart went for Jeong-In-oppa though. In a way I wanted him to be with Mary, but on the other hand...I just wanted him for myself. Hahahahaha! LOL Is there such a guy like him living on this earth? Please send him to me!!!! LOL

The storyline gave so much giggles at first. It started to drag towards the end. Must be the change of scripwriters that made it dull towards the end.

I got amused about the ending though. HAPPY DIVORCE! LOL But seriously, I just don't understand...if you registered for marriage but haven't administered an actual ceremony may it be civil or through church...is that considered marriage already? That's the only thing that made me confused though.

Oh well, I still enjoyed it and I want to say thank you to KBS World for airing 4 episodes for two nights per week. Kamsahamnida!

My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox (Kdrama)


You know when I first heard the title of the drama...only one thing cam eon my mind...Nine-Tails from Pokemon. Hihi!

There's only one reason why I tried watching this show. LEE SEUNGGI!!!!!!!! OMG!!!! Hahahaha!!!!

After his stellar performance in BRILLIANT LEGACY (aka Shining Inheritance), of course I wanted to watch this drama, although it took me a while to do so. Hahaha! So many hindrances on the way. Like Micky Yoochun's Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Hehehehe!

When I first heard about his lady love este gumiho love Shim Min Ah, I wanted to hate her. But after seeing her in the drama, I couldn't hate her! Well that means how loveable her character was.

It was kind of a mirror of The Little Mermaid's original story. Gumiho (nine-tailed fox) wanted to become human and had to sacrifice a lot. But of course their endings were different.

It had its share of crying and laughing moments. There were also action moments. Hahaha!

Seunggi at first was so handsome...I just don't know why he looked so stressed towards the end. Must be his oh-so busy schedule. But my admiration didn't change. He's still THE Lee Seunggi. Can't wait for him to have another drama.

Well other viewers became fans of Rose (formerly from TRAX). Who wouldn't love a face like that? How on earth did a guy like him had a face like that? I felt bad for his character, but he seemed got the hang of it.

At one point there was a scene of Dae Woong's friends (Seunggi's character) were drinking in a bar. Just amused that they were drinking San Miguel Beer. Hahaha! SanMig already has fans in Korea. LOL

The music was good too. I must download it asap. It keeps playing in my head! Also Seunggi's song! Waaaahhh!

Heading to the Ground (Kdrama)



I was super late on watching this drama. It was shown last September 2009 and i downloaded it afterwards. But I got to watch it 1 year after. And to think my review is super late as well. Haha!

First of all I watched this because of U-know Yunho. He's not my most fave DBSK member, but I still wanted to support him. This drama aired in the midst of the controversy of DBSK's break-up that materialized in the end of 2009. :(

The storyline focuses on football (also known as soccer), which is a refreshing take for Korean dramas. I expected this to be a hit since first of all it will DBSK's leader on the show, and secondly it is about footbal...Korea's favorite sport. But I was worng in that aspect though. It wasn't a hit after all and was forced to take on 16 episodes (from the original 20 eps).

The ratings game has jeopardized the flow of the story. I feel bad for it because the story was actually good! Cha Bong Goon was an aspiring football player and we get to see how many hardships he had to face to get to the top in the Pros.

Yunho's acting was quite weird at first. Maybe it was the acting blues. But as time has gone by...I got used to it...or maybe Yunho did improve. I was comfortable with his acting already.

I really really hated Jang Seung Woo. Who wouldn't hate that type of character? I'm glad he had a slap on his face in the end...but still that wasn't enough. Again, the compression of the storyline ruined it. Fine.

For the two gals in Cha Bong Goon's life, I really voted for his friend...the girl he calls Oh Potato, but f course sparks flew with Go Ara's character. Oh well. It was nice to see a female agent though. Quite unusual.

I also got amused with the female fans of Cha Bong Goon. Even though they were just three gals, they reminded me of Cassies. Hahahaha!

So again...I loved the story and it was really exciting. the ending was just ruined. Sigh. But it is a great watch, especially for DBSK fans...and for those who love leader Yunho so much!
