Overall Rating: 7/10
==> Touching story, yet not synch-ed to reach!

~Acting: 7/10
==>Special applause to both children artist! They made audiences' day! Two supporting artists' expresiions are more understandable then the two leads.

~Story: 8.5/10
==> Touching story! Initally captivating due to sad, comedic, romantic, childhood scenes... but later complicating and thus, diverting! Ending a dissapointment to fans.

~Setting/Props/Costumes: 6/10
==> Though understand its not demanding due to storyline, its completely plain. From sets to costume.

~Music: 8/10
==> Great sad soundtracks as per requirement! The only tool that helped portray characters feeling, rightly to viewers.

~Go Soo as Cha Kang Jin
~Kim Soo Hyun as Kang Jin (Teen)
~Han Ye Seul as Han Ji Wan
~Nam Ji Hyun as Ji Wan (Teen)
~Sun Woo Sun as Lee Woo Jung

He then meets Han Ji Wan when still teen and for the first time fell in love, though his approach where not appropriate at first. They were not able to continue their relationship as she moved out of town after her beloved brother's death, which she blamed on herself. Kang Jin then coincidently finds her 8 years later, in her engagement ceremony with Park Tae Joon, but is heart broken as she pretends to not no him.

Own Personal Review:
The scenes with teen actors in their village was my favourite! It really gave a good impression on the drama! Afterwards, Sun Woo Sun acting was the best compared to all other 3 mains. Though of coz.. i was drooling over Go Soo hotness! His smile was captivating! Anyway.. Its worth watching for its new, touching, captivating storyline. Sentiments our brother and his watch to heroine was epic! Only hoped that the story should have brought to a different route.. if then.. Its a confirm HIT!


P.S: Will it snow for christmas? well... confirm not in singapore! Never!
(lame and irritating right? i know!)


Please visit video page for an OST. Thanks!

==> Climax power! Twist that you will never expect! Infact, an unpredictable storyline and impactful scenes that makes you jump of ur couch!

~Setting/Props/Costume: 7/10
==> Though understand tat its under the story to must have a gloomy setting, but it shows its low budgetness, that could have been avoided.

~Music: 7/10
==> Cannot spot any songs except for the gloomy tittle song, tat is indeed cute! Can have added more touch to scenes with a more impactful, catchy BGM.

All four guys had to take care of a cute but smart landlord's son, while landlord is always flying. She then one day proposes a mission to the guys, that when once completed, they all need not pay any rental for the mansion for the rest of thier lives.

Now the mission: ' Please change my gloomy looking niece, to a lady!'
Will these guys succeed?
Own Personal Review:
God i love the actors! and i bet no one can predict the story! that's why my synopsis is incomplete! I strongly recommend you guyz.. regardless ur tast, to check it out! its just 10 episodes anyway!
I know i gave a low rating compared to my reviews.. its just coz there is room for improvement for music n setings.. which shldnt be overlooked! but come on!!!
still its a MUST WATCH!
I started to love Kazuya from here! and then realised how versatile he his later on. waiting for more of his dramas. Few other characters i liked was cute yuki and the landlord's son. Yuki's character is the most challenging out there... and liked the son just coz he adds spices to the comedies with his smart rebates to all four university guyz, when he's just turning 5 years! cool huh?

You're Beautiful - Kang Shin Woo sings for Go Mi Nam

Watch this and end up.. CRY! CRY! CRY!

Memorised the whole song! Yong Hwa voice adds the sorrow to the song.. making us all the fools instead!

When i first watched this scene.. My Thoughts.. While with tears of corze:

'WTF! Go Mi Nam! He is proposing to you for the first time at last you babo! Dnt just sit there! Aargh! Shin Woo oppa! You babo too! You deserve better ok!'

lol.. tooo over-excited i was right?

P.S: Suddenly remember how we cnbluesgfc members gathered on a day to make a special video that was to be presented to cnblue when they come down to singapore. I was in that video, singing this song with many to our boyz..LOL! Cannot forget those heavenly days! C.N.Blue was indeed surprised to watch it!

Genre: Comedy, Romance


Broadcast details:
~Origin: Korea - SBS
~Period: Oct 7 - Nov 26, 2009



Overall Rating: 9.5/10.
==>The Cutest Feast Ever! Loved by all ages! Fashionista! Perfectionism! Professionalism! Dedicated specially to my mom. A cute fan. Tell me what is not to like about.

~Acting: 10/10
==> All four leads made perfect justice to their respective roles. All were memorable and distinct. Realistic members of a band. and of corze, they made the perfect ideal, idol band that no one can resist. They are CHARMERS!

~Story: 9/10
==> Simple but complex! Climax could have been better?!?!?! Though characterisation was a highlight, the character Jeremy should have a little more importance in the story then just for comedy and cuteness.

~Setting/Props/Costumes: 10/10.
==> Classic! For all lovers of modern art! Hat's off to the costume designers! i wish to marry them more then to the stars! Award- deserving for sure!

~Music: 9.5/10
==> Lovely! Energetic! Painful! The 3 commom feeling stirred by the tracks! Distinct, unique vocals by all 4 mains is the highlight!


Casting:
~Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung
~Park Shin-Hye as Gemma/Go Mi Nam/Go Mi Nyu
~Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shin Woo
~Lee Hong Ki as Jeremy


Synopsis:
A naive, sister-in-training, scary-cat, Gemma was finally found by the personal manager of her long separated-twin brother, Go Mi Nam, a wanabe star. Circumstances forces her to replace him as a new star, who is announced to be joining the korea's most favourite idol band, A.N.JELL.

The arrogant leader of the band, Hwang Tae Kyung, opposes the idea, while the sweet, man of few words, guitarist finds it to be entertaining and cute,immature drummer finds it to be exciting.

Tae kyung felt disasterous with Go Mi Nam around untill he found out her true identity and felt responsible to take good care of her and as his personality was totally changed by her, though he denies his feelings for her to the end.

Go Mi Nam fell in love with Tae Kyung regardless his unfair treatings, especially since she felt comfortable with him around, who she thought is the only one to know her secret.

However, someone on the other hand continued to care, support and deeply love her one sided, though he knows her feelings and have tried many times to convey his love but failed till the end. None knew that Kang Shin Woo knew her identity from the start. What else to expect from a man of few words?

Cute jeremy was not left alone. Though the last to know her secret, he was not the last to start falling for her. Regardless her gender, he liked her.

Regardless, will they all who finally knows her secret, will help her to stay as a member of A.N.JELL till her brother arrives, against their company presidents' closure, villi's threatenings and especially media's torture/thirst for truth, and regardless personal conflicts?


Overall Personal Review:
I went awesomely mad watching it 3 times in a row alone and then the 4th time with my mom. She watched only once and it was enough for her to go on and on about this. Surprised i was. Unlike her. I got to memorised the script actually and this is what called, A DRAMA! A complete package for anyone, regardless bored/busy or happy/sad etc.

My favourite character was Kang Shin Woo of course. Started to like Yong Hwa from there. and now im a #1 fan of C.N.BLUE!(*please note its not just coz of this i like c.n.blue. I like all 4 members of it equally!) My moms fav were hwang tae kyung and go mi nam. she keeps imitating them on how they call each other. Its cute. My other fav guess who, though all are... Its the manager!!! Funny to the core! He did lifted everyones spirit in all scenes. Miss that character.

Regardless climax, it was a treat to me! My favourite scenes always got to do with jeremy and Shin Woo.


I only wish that either this drama never ends or the A.N.JELL band is really formed! (keep wishing rite?)

# 1: Hi, My Sweetheart!

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Broadcast Details:
~ Origin: Taiwan - CTS
~ Period: Nov 2009 - Feb 2010



Overall Rating: 8/10
==>My depression medicine... Entertainer for sure! Special dedication to all Pink Panther Lovers!

~ Acting: 8/10
==> All emotions well - played by all 3 mains. All portraited their respective characters well. Especially prefer male lead's sudden sharp transaction in character. Just at times, too perfect to be true.
~ Story: 8/10
==> Elements of comedy and romance well-mixed with story! Climax may seem draggy, though it was really touching. Predictable twist at times.
~ Setting/Props/Costume: 7/10
==> Settings repetitive, but cannot ask for more. Costumes were the highlight! Helped alot in characterizations!
~ Music: 10/10
==> Individually, all soundtracks are excellent. Every second of drama is especially lighten up by the appropriate part of tracks played at right time. Music genre varying from melody to funky... Apt to the story and characters!


Casting:
~ Show Luo as Xue Hai/Lin Da Lang
~ Rainie Yang as Chen Bao Zhu
~ Lee Wei as He Yan Feng
~ Maggie Wu as Mo Li


Synopsis:
Xue Hai (Show Luo), a corky, naive, rich, childesh, pink panther fan, finally manages to escape from his eldest sister's extreme care as he moves out of town for higher studies.

He then meets a lonely, violent, poor, pink panther fan, Chen Bao Zhu (Rainie Yang), in his class. Though faced many difficulty to get along initially, xue hai's persistant care to Bao zhu results in a unforgetful, painful, lovely relationship.

However, fate do them part for a while, where though Bao zhu continues to believe in their love, Xue Hai totally changes himself for a revenge as he mistook the cause of separation to be her.

During the revenge, He Yan Fang (Lee Wei), High school Judo senior, was a great help to Bao Zhu. Jealousy sparks within Xue Hai, making him realise how much he still loves her.

Overall Personal Review:
Loved the comedy! Show Luo is a mega superstar! His transactions were perfect! Rainie did her job well, but Lee Wei could have been a little more impactful by showing more pain then just acceptance of rejection. The relation of pink panther to the story was unique and important. Interesting. Biological clock by Show was meaningful and catchy. It is my most favourite. Overall... Of course it is a must watch! Corze for god sake, this is that drama that has allowed me to come this far!

Da Lang... Da Lang... Da Lang Da Lang, Da Lang, Da Lang, Da Lannggg...... DA LANG!!!


P.S:Hopefully i upload cool videos on this soon! Till then, feel like watching few scenes from Hi, my sweetheart! See.. reminising is freaking good!

Back to Past!

Only read this post if ur curious how an
naive/unicultural girl (me), entered the
magical... mystical... & amazing world of
K,T,J MUSIC & DRAMAS!!!

Still dont know who's curse, but my year 200-8&9 were HELL!
A-level is always underestimated!
Those 2 years.. Only pressure was
building within me.. NOT studies!

As a result of trying to escape.. only
after i finished my A's in DEC 2009 that is,
a new door opened to this new world of music & dramas!

Initially.. till feb 2010... i was only watchin animes and eng dramas...
like..

NARUTO!
ONE PIECE!
Kyle XY!
Merlin!
Legend of the seeker!
Vampire diaries!
ETC!

but exactly after i ran out of eng dramas did i meet back
my sec sch sweetheart(Shakila) advertising to me abt a
Taiwan drama... Hi, My Sweetheart!

When all the while when many introduced many dramas
for me to watch i wasnt interested.
However, TPJC DRAMA CLUB...
Totally changed me!
If there is anything worth i learnt (even compared to chem)...
it must be abt dramas!
Special thanks to my lovely club.

but of corze! a single friend's recommendation
cldnt have changed my mind!
It was someone... whom i least expect to do so...
who FORCED me into watching @ least the first ep
of Hi,My Sweetheart.

It was my COLLEQUE!!! - Chelzia (F&N promoter)
when i was working first time in my life
and as a Shp 'N' Save Cashier!
She was a TOTALL DRAMA MANIAC! (like wad i m now la)
P.S: She is a gd friend of Xiao Zhua (Show Luo)!!!
Now can everybody understand why her influence was
the strongest!

Afterwhich... my journey to this new world started.. Alone!
As i was abt to finish watching Hi, my Sweetheart in youtube..
another drama caught my eye that was at the right column..
Its rating was crazier compared to Hi, my Sweetheart!

You're Beautiful/Minami Shineyo

Starting a new journey is easy.. but continuein it
now matter what is the diff part!
and so...
If HMS introduced me to a new world...
YAB made me continue to live on it!

Right after that in my new journey,
thanks to a website i found due to watchin of YAB...
I went on to watch something tat stirred back
my memories of being bookworm!
Thats when i finally decided... I will
NEVER LEAVE THIS WORLD no matter what!!!
Thanks to...

Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge/Wallflower


As thats how my journey started...
These 3 precious dramas become my GURUS!!!
Each for thier own purpose... genres and especially...
to thier LANGUAGE!

Did u all notice...
The first 3 dramas i coincidently watched one after another...
where all with diff language!
Hence... i also like to look it as...
though might not mean they are the best of all dramas i have watched...

My God of Taiwan D.: Hi,My Sweetheart!
My God of Korean D.: You're Beautiful!
My God of Japan D.: Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge!

WALA!
