Autumn Concerto.. I Love You So... Vaness Wu


Recently I heard the news that Vaness Wu already married his long-time Singaporean girlfriend. I suddenly missed him and the times how I really liked him during and even after Meteor Garden days. I really really liked him that I still have his pictures I collected when I was younger and even have a copy of his album though it's just a cassette tape. I was only in high school back then and if only I had my own money that time I would even come to his concert when he visited Manila. All Vaness memories and Meteor Garden times flashed on my mind after hearing news of him. And since I'm looking for another drama to watch for and I really wanted to see him again, I decided to watch Autumn Concerto. I wanted to see this Taiwanese drama even before, I just don't know why it took me so long before I finally decided to watch it.


Vaness Wu looks really amazing in this drama. I still got the chills and shivers while watching him after eight years. Probably it's because this drama was shown earlier than the years that I haven't seen him. Or maybe its just that I really like him because it's his attitude, his confidence, his skills, his smile, his image that I like the most. Good thing that he was given a chance to star in his own drama. And his partner Ady An was good too. I wish to see him on another drama again.

Anyway let's talk about the drama series. First, let me just mention that Meteor Garden started my addiction to Asian dramas nowadays. Taiwan dramas were my first love. Starting with Meteor Garden of course and its sequels except for the part two. Then there's It Started with a Kiss, Westside Story, Hana Kimi and The Fierce Wife. And now I will add Autumn Concerto to it. Another unique story that is heart-melting and truly worth watching. It has a very deep story and I'm happy that it ended very well. Everybody is happy.

The story was about true love which never faded after years of being separated and being forgotten by the one you love. A typical love story at first where the rich guy fell in love with a poor girl who changed the way he was and became a better person. And the mother of the guy who didn't approved of their relationship. Ren Guang Xi played by Vaness Wu and Liang Mu Cheng played by Ady An. Then the heartbreaking revelation that the guy has brain tumor and chances of living is very low. Mu Cheng stayed with Guang Xi even after knowing his condition and took care of him giving him courage to fight for his life. But then, she have to leave Guang Xi for him to have a more advanced surgery which can save him more than the usual brain surgery method. She left not knowing that she's pregnant. After the successful surgery, the guy had forgotten everything and has to start over like a child. Another girl He Yi Qian was on his side whom his mother wanted for him and they didn't talked about Liang Mu Cheng to him. In six years he became a very successful lawyer and was engaged to Yi Qian. But then a sudden happening made him come to Hua Tian Village where Mu Cheng and their son Xiao Le was living. When he came to the village he was quickly recognized by Xiao Le as his father.

Xiao Le
Mu Cheng was even shocked that Xiao Le came home with Guang Xi telling that his father came. Mu Cheng denied it and since Guang Xi doesn't have memory of his past he also explained that he is not his father. Without having an idea that they are really father and son, they had a very close connection and affection to each other. They lived altogether in one house and discovered things that Xiao Le and Guang Xi have in common. When Guang Xi has to leave the village and prepare for his wedding with Yi Qian, Xiao Le was crying hard while chasing his car. Even Guang Xi can't looked at the child and burst into tears while driving. A day after, Xiao Le went to Taipei to look for Guang Xi. There, he met his grandmother which of course he doesn't know yet. He collapsed while walking in the street and was rushed to the hospital. Xiao Le needed a blood which should not come from his relatives for his operation. Guang Xi volunteered after knowing that they have the same blood type but was refused by Mu Cheng. Guang Xi's mom and Yi Qian was suspicious of Mu Cheng's refusal. They made Guang Xi's brain surgery an excuse so he cannot donate his blood. Hua Tuo Ye who was Mu Cheng's best friend who took care of them ever since was the one who donated his blood to Xiao Le. A day before Guang Xi and Yi Qian's wedding, his memory of past came after seeing couple pictures of him and Mu Cheng. He became very angry on how people around him made lies about his past and the wedding was cancelled. He was also very mad at Mu Cheng when he remembered how she left him during his day of brain surgery when he's begging her so much not to leave him and chased her at the streets and got stabbed by Mu Cheng's step father after. Guang Xi wanted to fight for the custody of the child but Mu Cheng cannot give it and almost got married to Hua Tuo Ye. But Guang Xi made a way to persuade Mu Cheng to marry him for Xiao Le. And they got married but remained cold at each other. As times passed there were happenings that made them close to each other and even confessed what they really feel. They had good times like what they had six years before. But was still challenged because of Hua Tuo Ye's condition. Tuo Ye was accused of murdering so Mu Cheng hurriedly went to Tuo Ye. This was misunderstood by Guang Xi and did not accept Mu Cheng's explanation. He promised to defend Tuo Ye in his case and after he will prepare their divorce. In the end Xiao Le played as cupid to reconcile his parents.
Great Drama. Two thumbs up :)
Guang Xi and Mu Cheng was tricked that Xiao Le was kidnapped and demanded them to do silly things like exchanging of rings in front of the church altar and taking pictures as proof that they did. At that time they both secretly know that they were being tricked and someone's watching over them but still played with it. Mu Cheng have finally expressed everything to Guang Xi and asked him not to leave. And so, since Guang Xi loved her dearly, he accepted Mu Cheng's feelings.

Happy ending. Happy family.


I already miss this drama and play its songs over and over. I am actually losing bit of my Korean lessons because of this. The song from The Fierce Wife also plays in my mind after watching it. I don't know why.

I really love the story and how everything went. I love the people around them like Yi Qian and Tuo Ye who were very understanding to  let go for the happiness of their loved one. They did not became a burden to the two leads but instead they supported and cheered for the happiness of the two although its hurting them inside. It's just that them, Guang Xi and most specially Mu Cheng keeping their true feelings and afraid of asking that made their love story complicated. Lesson: in love you have to be courageous to ask, to answer, to trust, to show what you truly feel. Do not make assumptions. You will never know the truth if you don't ask.

One more thing that I love about this drama is that their love story was fully blossomed after having their child. Vaness looks adorable as a father. No wonder it is the second highest rating Taiwanese idol drama following Fated to Love you according to wikepedia. Haven't seen Fated to Love You yet so I think that will be my next T-drama to watch. Let's see if it is really that good. Hmmm...

49 Days. Pure Love.



Titled as Pure Love when shown in the Philippines in 2011. I've heard this is a very good drama since then but I had not watched it because it was shown very late at night and I'm not a K-drama addict back then. When I became addicted to K-dramas, this was included in my list to watch for but still have not got to see it because I can't find a site where I can watch this until this week after finishing I Hear Your Voice I finally found one.

This is a very good story and so far the most heartbreaking drama I've watched. The story is about Shin Ji Hyun who got in car accident and had her soul separated from her body. In order for her to return to her body and come back to life she has to collect three tear drops from non-blood related people who loves her truly for 49 days. It may seem easy but it is not. As for her, having two best friends and a lot of people who likes her and have friends with her, she had difficult time looking for it. So after watching this drama I had this realizations. If I were to be a 49 day traveler too like Shin Ji Hyun was, will I be able to collect even a single tear drop? Will someone cry over me because they loved me truly, not just because of sympathy? Shin Ji Hyun's character is a bit too far from mine. Much much better than mine, if she had difficulty then what about me? It was really a difficult journey. Now, I think I have to live my life not just thinking of being a good person but acting as one.

The strength of this drama is it focuses more about life, family, friends and nature of people more than romantic love. How can you protect the people you love without hurting them. If your fate has been given, how will you deal with it. At the latter episode I've cried so hard that I've became tired and dried all my tears up. And as I've said it is the most heartbreaking so far. Why is it? Because in other dramas at least the leads got to find and come back to their loved ones whether it is in the present or future. But in here, they separated forever. But then, death doesn't mean the bond between them was broken. That's the saddest situation I think, when someone you love left this world. It's better to lose the person you love by breaking up than them leaving this world forever.

The person whom you thought who hates you is actually the person who really loves you.
Ji Hyun and Han Kang.

It's a sad drama that mirrors the reality of life. Although it is sad, I like it because of its essence, of what it wants to deliver. See, I have these kinds of thinking after watching it. This drama also reminds us that our life is just borrowed from God. We must make good use of it because we don't know when he will take it back.


The handsome and cool Scheduler. Song Yi Soo.

The character I admire most. Shin Ji Hyun.

I love the story about Ji Hyun and Han Kang and Song Yi Kyung and Song Yi Soo, the twists where she remember her 49 days journey, that Scheduler is Yi Soo and Yi Kyung is Ji Hyun's lost sister, the characters and the portrayal of the actors, the song and everything. Here, I'll leave some songs that I really like from the drama.

Can't it be Me? Han Kang's love to Ji Hyun.


Tears are Falling. The story of Song Yi Kyung and Song Yi Soo. The most heartbreaking love story.

Can't Forget You. The song that always makes me cry whenever played in the drama.

Nothing Happened. Another sad song.


I recommend everyone to watch it. Although the story and ending is sad, it's worth watching and still lovely.

Kang Chi




Just finished watching 24 episodes of Gu Family Book starring Lee Seung Gi and Bae Suzy. Phew! That was long. I managed to finished it in 6 days really finding time to watch this drama behind my work schedule. The day I first watched it, I cannot let go of each episode of it. Though the story is quite long and being a melodrama-historical-action genre it didn't bore me at all, unlike the others that I've seen with the same genre. I greatly recommend for people to watch it. Worth watching.

Yoon Seo Hwa and Gu Wol Ryung
Kang Chi's parents.

I cannot count the times I cried and laughed and amazed by this drama. The story is awesome from the start until the end. The story of Kang Chi's parents was so heartbreaking. Wol Ryung, the divine creature who is Kang Chi's father had turned into an evil creature after being betrayed by Seo Hwa, the human, mother of Kang Chi. After giving birth to Kang Chi, he was found by the businessman Lord Park Moo Seol in the river and adopted him. The lord had treated Kang Chi as his own son. The lord's character here is so warm, kind and great. He helps the poor and always willing to help. But the monstrous character Ju Gwan Joong killed the lord and take over the lord's business and properties. The same event as with Seo Hwa's family happened to the lord's family.







At first we'll see that Cheong Joo was Kang Chi's love interest. She was the daughter of Lord Park who was sold as a gisaeng after the lord dies. And by the way Kang Chi and Yeo Wool played by Suzy had many encounter during this time. They've been helping each other and of course often see each other which leads to Yeo Wool developing her feelings to Kang Chi and discovering that Kang Chi was the child who protected her when they were still little and the reason she learned to use the sword. But when Kang Chi was already able to show his divine creature side, Cheong Joo threw rocks at him and ran away from him but Yeo Wool protected him and stayed beside him instead. And so, the start of their love story. The love between the two leads was something. Something that is admirable.



The drama's finale was heartbreaking because Yeo Wool has to face her fate of being with Kang Chi. Though she knew it will happen, she chose to stay with the man he loves. Kang Chi left the place after and planned to live as a divine creature. I thought it's already the end of the story but unexpectedy there's "after 422 years, year 2013" and I felt relieved. This is a good finale. Kang Chi was still alive and who is now wealthy met the people from his past through reincarnation I think, and one of them was Yeo Wool, having the same name and character. And that's it. After that meeting was not shown anymore making people like me want more, a season 2 perhaps. But then I also think it's better to leave it there than to ruin the story by prolonging it.


First meeting under the peach tree and crescent moon
First meeting after 422 years under the peach tree and crescent moon


Job very well done for Lee Seung Gi and Suzy. I liked them both since the first drama I watched them. Lee Seung Gi in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho which I liked Shin Min Ah too and which is my top favorite k-drama and Suzy in Dream High which is also in the list of my favorite drama. I admire both of their character in this drama and of course it's because of their good portrayal. I never thought that they'll be a good pair but they do. I hope to see them again in a new drama.



The songs in the drama are good too. Here's some of them with clips of some part of the story.

That Winter The Wind Blows



I just loved the title of this Korean drama. It made me think if the grammar is just correct and analyze the structure and the message of it. What about the winter? what about the wind? It's just funny. And I still keep on thinking what other words can be the title of this out of the words that winter the wind blows.


Bad boy look Kim Bum


Moving on, here's another melodrama that I've recently watch and I liked it. The story is good. Actually I think its better than Missing You. Or, okay they're both great but I prefer this TWTWB . Maybe its because of the story. Its not so dark like in Missing You and there were no boring scenes. I especially like Kim Bum here. His cuteness has turned into handsomeness. Bad boy look suits him.



So the story goes like this. Oh Soo (Jo In Sung) pretended to be the Oh Soo that was the son of the owner of a big company in Korea and who has a blind sister who is Oh Young (Song Hye Gyo). This is to get the shares of the real Oh Soo who died a year after to pay for his debt from an illegal gambler Mr. Kim, who accused him of embezzling his money. Oh Soo did everything to prove to anyone that he's the real Oh Soo that was the brother of Oh Young. It was difficult to tame Oh Young at first but then he got the trust of Oh Young in the end. So they had sweet moments together and they get along very well to the point that they sleep together every night. Unknowingly, during the times that they've been getting along well, Oh Soo's growing feelings for Oh Young and Oh Young to Oh Soo. Knowing that it's wrong, Oh Young asked for some distance to Oh Soo and thought to rush her marriage with her fiance Lee Myung Ho. Oh Soo have also convinced Oh Young to undergo a surgery to treat her brain tumor and blindness. So they set everything, Oh Young's marriage after the surgery. But then, Oh Soo's ex-girlfriend who can't let go of him and who was the real culprit of embezzling the money demanded to go with her to Italy and live together, if not she'll spill the truth to Oh Young that he's not the real Oh Soo her brother but the Oh Soo the conman. Oh Soo didn't come so she immediately called Oh Young to reveal everything and leave for Italy alone. Oh Young became cold to Oh Soo afterwards but didn't confront him. Oh Young's already been aware that people around her are just taking care of her because of her money but she just stayed quiet all those years. One day Oh Soo and Oh Young went on a trip together. That's their last trip together because Oh Soo planned on leaving after Oh Young's surgery. On that trip they have finally confronted each other Oh Soo knowing Oh Young already knew about his identity and Oh Young knowing Oh Soo's identity. Oh Young told Oh Soo to leave when they came back to Seoul. In Seoul, Oh Young have also told Secretary Wang, her stepmother who caused her blindness and embezzled money from their company to leave. She also cancelled her marriage with Lee Myung Ho knowing Secretary Wang and him connived on this. The one that's left with Oh Young was Lawyer Jang who was his father's friend and who truly cared for Oh Young. Oh Young gave money to Oh Soo before he leaves but Oh Soo just took a bundle of it to pay for Jin Sung's (Kim Bum) debt who got involved because of him. On the day of surgery, Oh Young tried to slash her wrist. Fortunately, Oh Soo came and called the doctor immediately. The surgery was set again on another day. Before the surgery having a 50% successful rate, Oh Soo and Oh Young have talked about all the truth and confessed their love. How and why Oh Soo changed to live his life as a decent person because of Oh Young and how Oh Young was hurt but still loves Oh Soo. So they promised that if the surgery is successful they'll see each other again. But then, Oh Soo gambled his life again to free himself from his debt to Mr. Kim. He end up getting stab by Jin Sung who was forced to do it to save his family as per Mr. Kim's condition.



It's so heartwarming and heartbreaking watching the last scenes of the drama. Actually all of the scenes but of course last scenes have more impact. From Young's confession which I understand how she feels (cause I have the habit of putting myself on the actress'/actors' shoe) to Jin Sung's having no choice but to kill Oh Soo whom he's very loyal with. This drama didn't bore me at all. And there are twists which make it more exciting.The love story between the two lead casts was romantic, not cheesy at all.

Gladly, though it looked like a sad story it has a happy ending. You'll thought that Young's surgery wasn't successful and Oh Soo was dead. But no no no! I'm happy cause at least even just a little Oh Young got to see Oh Soo and Oh Soo was alive quietly keeping an eye to Oh Young. And they got to freely love each other.

Happily ever after








Here's some clip of the drama. I also like the songs. It suits the drama, the scenes, the story and everything.

My Everything Global Tour 2013 in Manila


Lee Min Ho's promise of coming back to Manila on his last fan meet on November 2012 has just been granted last Saturday July 6, 2012 as he perform his first concert on stage at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. If I'm not mistaken, the Philippines is his fourth or fifth stop for his world tour concert. And Filipino fans like me were so excited of it. He arrived on July 4 at 10:44 in the evening looking very casual wearing plain white shirt, pants and slippers but still very handsome. In the morning, he attended a ribbon cutting on one of the Bench store in BGC and had a press con there and interview at Bandila on Tito Boy's segment Ikaw Na. Here's hisinterview with Tito Boy:
Isn't he so cute? He' more than cute actually, he's very handsome. 

Going back, I really regretted that I didn't buy the VIP ticket for the concert. I was supposed to buy it but I don't know why I changed my mind. "Kakuriputan" attacked along the way. So I ended up with a Lower Box ticket instead. I had a great view there but my camera couldn't capture what my eyes can see. And so, I couldn't share any nice photos of him. Sabe ko nga I would buy a better camera na eh. I envy my workmate who has lots of up-close photos of him cause they're in the patron seat and she got to run near the stage while I can't. And one more thing why I regretted not buying a VIP or Patron ticket is that fans who received gifts from him and received a hug from him are from those seats. I could have the chance to stand near him if I were only on those seats. If "kakuriputan" didn't attacked. 

Moving on, I enjoyed the concert. Although I was on myself in the Lower Box (because my workmate and her friend were in patron seats so I am seated with totally strangers) I was able to shout and respond to what the host was saying. When she asked who wanted to keep LMH warm because he said he was feeling cold that night, my hand automatically raised up. And when the host asked when is his birthday and sing for him I am able to answer and sing too in Korean.

The concert started with his first song My Everything, then he took off his coat and sang and danced for You and I. And then a little talk. He said he had Kare-kare and he liked it. He liked to go surfing someday in the Philippines and that his recently learned Filipino word is maganda. Some more are about his endorsements on Bench and Line. Then  back to the concert he performed Pieces of Love, Love Motion and My Little Princess. Again, there's a small talk, well actually it's the gift giving portion wherein he picked the lucky ten winners of the Bench shirt, line doll and another doll that is made of paper said Sam Oh (I forgot what it's called). And the luckiest of all is the eleventh picked who received the polo that LMH has just worn the day before the concert during his press con with his signature and also a doll. He performed again singing Without You. He changed his outfit and performed his finale Say Yes where everyone is waiting for his butt dance.

Although he's not really a singer he's not bad at all. Gosh what could I ask more of you Lee Min Ho. He might not dance well but he's really sexy and I feel that's he's shy on his dancing and it makes him really cute. I mean handsome. If only I were picked and asked what would be my message to him, this would be my answer: Thank you for coming back and sharing this joyful moment of your life. I don't care what you do, as long as I feel you're enjoying it, I will still support you. I love you Lee Min Ho. :)

And to share also, me and my workmate and her friend rushed to Diamond Hotel when he left the arena without any plan. We just wanted to see him more but sadly he didn't came to the hotel right away. We just went home leaving other fans waiting inside cause we don't have the energy anymore. We still have work for tomorrow. Sad, but it's okay. He said he'll definitely come back and by that time I will fight this "kakuriputan" of mine. :)

Bebe ko


Currently playing Sarah Geronimo's It Takes a Man and a Woman, soundtrack and title of her new movie with John Lloyd Cruz.

Its the first time I went to the cinema alone cause I don't wanna miss this movie. I've only got today and I'll be busy for two weeks that's why I wasn't able to wait for my friends to answer if they wanna come with me.   But it seems like they don't since they've got their boyfriends and maybe they have planned too on watching this movie with their partners. That's the disadvantage of being single, poor me. I can't also make a commitment with my colleagues cause we have different schedules and its hard to adjust it.

Anyways, I love this movie because it's the sequel to the first two movies of Sarah and John Lloyd which was shown in 2008 and 2009, my college days. My friends and I would always watch it together in cinemas. Too sad, this time I'm alone. This third sequel of Sarah-John Lloyd movie was very awesome and was better than the first two. So if you got hooked on the first and second movie, you'll get more hooked and addicted to this. There are more kilig and funny scenes specially at the end. And it also gave a lesson about love.

I won't be talking about A Very Special Love and You've Changed My Life anymore cause it will be too long. And besides, It Takes a Man and a Woman is the best part among the three. It's my favorite. The story started with Laida coming back to the Philippines after four years in Canada and New York and a flashback on how she and Miggy got separated. Miggy is presently in a mutual understanding relationship with Belle, the woman who Laida assumed Miggy cheated with two years ago that causes their break-up. Miggy's company is not doing well and the board of directors want him out so he has to work with a consultant from New York who happens to be Laida. Imagine two ex-lovers working together. So of course their personal issues always got involved in their work. They always fight and pretends not to care and forgot their past. Laida always shows off her new self as a bolder, stronger, wiser, braver and fiercer woman as she says. But in the middle of it, their feelings cannot be really hidden. When Laida knew about the condition of Miggy's company she sympathies him and helps him finish the project they have been doing wholeheartedly this time. They went to New York to cover Laida's life there as their presentation to the client and in that time being the two of them alone in New York, they have talked about what happened to them after their break-up and felt the love the way before as they tour around the city. But Belle comes in the picture that cut their almost there rekindling of love. The two remain as colleagues until the success of their presentation. But in the end, Miggy realize what kind of man he want to become and that is to be Laida's last love. So he proposed to her in the airport with the help of all the airport staffs and some passengers and his sister and brothers singing Kailan, they're theme song in the first movie. They got married and its a very romantic and moving scene. I just cant describe how it is but its totally awesome. Iwould like to have that kind of love story too and of course the type of man. Who wouldnt like Miggy.

While watching it, I felt that I'm also in the same position as Laida's (Sarah) when I was in college and the time I became single and still seeing my ex. So, I know the feeling of Laida when he met Miggy (John Lloyd) again after two years of their break up. I've always liked Sarah Geronimo among all the artist in the Philippines and of course John Lloyd Cruz. Who would've not liked his movies. Many are requesting to have part four of their movie but for me its enough to leave it there. Just make a new one that's different from this story. But I'll surely miss these two bebe kos.

Here's a preview of the first two movie.

A Very Special Love

You Changed My Life


And of course, It Takes a Man and a Woman

The Fierce Wife

the tv series

This is a Taiwanese drama series that I've watched in 2011 and I can highly recommend it to everyone. When I learned that there's a season 2 of this drama, I immediately searched for it but I discovered that it is not a series but rather a movie now. Still, it is the continuation of the story in the series. It is not shown yet in many countries but I do hope it will also be shown in the Philippines even just on television for those who have loved the series to see. The title of the movie is the same adding the last chapter of the drama. The Fierce Wife Final Episode

The story of this drama is about a happy married life of a very good housewife, an almost perfect wife whom I believe every man wants and a responsible and kind husband who turned out to be a cheater after they took care of the housewife's cousin. Though it may seem like it is like the other infidelity shows that are being aired nowadays in Korea and also in the Philippines, what I like most in this drama is the delivery, the story, the characters, the complication of the situations, the lessons, the acting and also the song though I can only understand it through its melody. I am always moved in every episode I watched and I always think of what if I were in the shoes of An Zhen (the wife). I also feel the other characters as if I were them. Every happening leaves a mark on me and it breaks and touches my heart. The story seems so real. 

What I liked most in this drama was when An Zhen decided to have a make-over, started her career and dropped the thought of getting her ex-husband back. Thanks to Lan Tian Wei a young executive of a car manufacturer who helped her get through all her hardships and fell in love with her regardless of her status, age and everything she went through. And when his ex-husband was asking to reconcile with her to start all over again but she disapproved. This time I feel sorry for the husband but if I were An Zhen I would likely do the same to him cause the scar was already imprinted and though he make up for all he had committed I don't think I can be happy again the way I did before because the pain was so deep and its not an easy to forget experience. But looking at Rui Fan's side (the ex-husband) it was really a remorseful thing that he had lost everything after realizing or learning that his true love was really An Zhen. 


the movie

The ending of the series which was continued in a movie through The Fierce Wife Final Episode started four years later after her divorce with Rui Fan. An Zhen became more beautiful and became an assistant manager in Hyatt hotel in Taipei. Still, Tian Wei was pursuing her but she cannot decide yet because of her fear to experience again what her marriage with Rui Fan had become. But finally in the end she got the courage to pursue her happines with Tian Wei. Her ex-husband who have thought of rekindling with her again wasn't able to continue anymore  after meeting his son with Wei En (the cousin who wrecked their marriage). At the end he was left with his daughter with An Zhen because they've let An Zhen pursue her happiness this time (with Tian Wei). Wei En and his son didn't stay too long and left for US. 

The ending is still sad for Rui Fan and their daughter. Though I do not want An Zhen to get married again, I also do not want her to lose Tian Wei. What a sad sad ending for the ex-husband. This will be a great lesson for husbands out there. Wives out there I think its best if you watch it together with your husband. Hehe.



Of course will I not share the song I loved in this drama? There's also a good one in the movie but I highly prefer this one that's in the series. There's none with scenes in its mv lets just get the meaning of it. I;m not really sure of the title if its Zhi Wang. Anyway this is a good one.

Love Rain



Another K-drama that I finished and got hooked up. I've read on some sites that it received low ratings when it aired in Korea on summer of 2012. I don't know why because for me it's one of the best that I've watched. Not all K-dramas I've seen are posted in here. Just those that I really loved and would recommend to others that I know for sure they'll also love.

In here I've fallen in love with Jang Geun Seuk. I've learnt to appreciate his charms and personality. Before I only see him as "okay he's cute" and that's all. Now when I see him I have that "kilig" feeling and remember how he was in Love Rain. I've watched You're Beautiful but I didn't like him there. Though the personality of his character in You're Beautiful was quite similar with his personality in Love Rain, I like him in Love Rain more. If only I've watched Love Rain before You're Beautiful, I could have loved him earlier. And also I like Yoona of Girl's Generation as his love team and even his real life partner more than Park Shin Hye. I think they look better together and I just love them together. When I watched their scenes it looks so real and they are comfortable with each other. This drama also made me look for Yoona. And so, I became familiar of Girl's Generation songs.

More than the good acting of the actors and actresses of their characters and especially of course the sweet scenes of the two leads, I also liked the story of the drama. I was also undecided who I wanted to have the happy ending. The parents or the children? Well actually I wanted the children have it but I think the parents deserves it also because they have suffered so much. So how will it be? I'm glad cause it turned out good at the end. The parents gave way for their kids. Since they experienced the feeling of not having the one you love and for the sake of their kids, they let their kids to continue their relationship and the parents decided to be friends instead. The lesson in there is that you don't need to have a relationship to give your love to a person. And also, true love comes once in a lifetime. You may find another person to love but there will only be one person who'll have the biggest impact on you so when you feel it have the courage to fight for your love and do not let it go.

Though it did not received high ratings in Korea, I think it will click when it will air in the Philippines. And knowing that the ABS-CBN acquired it, Love Rain lovers wont be disappointed.







I just love Seo Joon and Jung Ha Na. Don't they look good together? They made me feel in love this February :)








Sweet remembrance......

Seo Joon (Geun Seuk) is such a turn on to me. Ha Na (Yoona) is a very lucky girl. 
I want. I want. I want. hehehe :p

Dream High.... High High



Why did I watched it just now? If not for Tous les Jours I still won't watch it until now. It's not in my priority list of k-dramas to watch for. But thanks to Tous les Jours, after hearing that they are one of the sponsors of this drama (because I had my part time job at Tous les Jours in Greenbelt) I decided to watch it cause I wanna see how Tous les Jours in Korea is.

Moving on, this drama introduced me new entertainers from Korea whom I have now love like Taecyon and Kim So Hyun and IU. I'm not really a fan of Korean pop music, just the drama shows and movies but now I plan to look for 2PM band because of Taecyon and look for IU's songs because she's really great. I love all the songs she sang in the drama. Taecyon is really handsome and he looks so nice. Kim So Hyun, well he got a talent knowing he's not really a singer or dancer, but he did so well in the drama. He looks like one of those that belonged in a band.

Dream High is a very inspirational drama. Its about looking for your dreams, surpassing all the obstacles and getting those dreams so I understand its ending why it did not focused on the romance of the leads. And also, it talks about friendship. The narrator and the teacher (I think they're just one) gave really good lines. Very inspiring. For the romance, I think its just good that they've pursued first on their dreams. But in fairness I also got confused on who to choose between the two guys. I do not contradict that Go Hye Mi choses Song Sam Dong, although they were not really together because Sam Dong had bigger opportunity than the rest.

I love all the things that happened in the drama. All the characters and of course the songs. This drama got me really addicted listening to its soundtrack. My top favorite OST song which is Creating Love of Perfect Taste has now been replaced by Someday, Maybe and Can't I Love You. But of course I like it much more if the actors who sang it in the drama sung it. These songs makes me wanna fall in love. Great melody, rhyming and lyrics.



I feel like a teenager again when listening to this song. I remember of my schooldays. Watching this drama felt like a student again. I think of my dreams and inspired by it. This song sang by the leads. It's really good. Love High.


My new OST favorites:

Someday by IU. This love song between Jin Kuk and Hye Mi and of course by its singer Pil Suk and Jason, the cutest couple in the drama. 

Maybe originally sung by Sunye of Wondergirls. Sung by Kim So Hyun and Suzy in the drama. I mean Sam Dong and Hye Mi. I remember Sam Dong here and his love for Hye Mi and because of that, Hye Mi was moved at the end. Well if it was me I would also be. :)

Can't I Love You sung by 2AM. A beautiful song with very beautiful lyrics. Perfect song for Go Hye Mi from Song Sam Dong. Also suitable for Jason and Kim Pilsuk.

This is where I first like this song. Kim So Hyun and IU sang it in acapella very beautifully. I think its better than the original hehe. I'm so addicted to this.
                                       


There you go. The reason I love Dream High.
