Little Fockers

I've been planning to watch this movie but I never did. Last week my sister bought lots of CD for us to have a movie Marathon.

I've watched Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers and when they installed the third movie as Little Fockers I was excited to what will happen since the first two were hilarious. I was looking forward for the time it would hit the Movie house here in the Philippines but wasn't able to go to the Cinemas,so thank you Honey! ^_^


Summary

The movie begins ten years after Greg's marriage to Pam. They have five year old twins named Henry and Samantha. Jack (Robert de Niro) learned that Dr. Bob Banks, the husband of his second daughter Debbie, has been cheating on his wife and divorced her. Jack have health issues and called Greg and told him that he's now appointing him to be the new head of the family as the "God Focker". Greg agreed. After the call he tried to mimic Jack (strict figure) and told his son, Henry that his mother prepared the food so he should eat it. Henry's not feeling well but obeyed his Father and then hurl at him after eating.




Greg, like every common household have financial issues and have some minor problems from his job. He's dreading his in-laws' visit, especially his father-in-law Jack. He has to prove that he's worthy to be the "new" head of the family as the Godfocker.

At Thanksgiving, he was the one who cut the turkey with the knife that has the symbol of Jack's family and that has been handed down from generation to generation. It was a symbolic move for him to be the one to carve the turkey. But he cut his hands and his son see's all the blood from his hand.

Pam's ex (Owen Wilson) appears at their doorstep and Greg sees that his in-laws were warm to him.
He has to do something to make himself worthy to his father-in-law's eyes. He tries to get his children in a prestigious school, builds a new house and get his finances in order.




The birthday party of the twins would just be days ahead and they would held it to the new house garden. But the garden has a big hole in it. He tried to get the truck outside but after parking it he pressed the wrong lever and made all the soils be poured into Jack. They only have seconds to find where Jack is or else he will die. Jack tried to find him but Kevin found him first. Things are not lookin up for him.

They went to visit the school (Jack and Greg's impression to the headmistress that they are into a relationship but they told her that they are in-laws), on the interview, Henry was asked some questions and he somehow blurted out that he saw her dad put a syringe on his granpa (Jack took some pills Sustengo from Greg's cabinet. The sustengo is an erectile dysfunction drug that Jack agreed to be one of the speaker to introduced the drug from Andi Garcia (Jessica Alba), a sexy pharmaceutical company representative. Jack took the drug but he can't get it down so greg injected him in the penis to make it shrink. Jack shouted and theres was a second shout heard at the door of the comfort room. it was henry. Jack told Greg he would hypnotize Henry so that he would forget what he saw but Greg told him he will take care of it. He instead told henry that what he saw is--Daddy is helping Granpa to pee). With that incident Greg's chances of pleasing Jack is going downhill.

Jack, suspicious that Greg might be like his other son-in-law, begins to spy on him. He thought that Greg is having an affair with Andi, which was not true (he has some misundertanding when he saw Andi naked on the Focker's new house garden naked due to her drunkenness. Jack suggest to Pam it might be better to divorce Greg and resume her relationship with Kevin.

Greg met Bob in a bar, he told Greg that he has never been happier after getting off "the hamster wheel" and he was Jack's first choice to lead the family and gave him the name "The BobFather". Upon learning that, he got upset with Jack.

They fought at the twins party but Jack had a heart attack. Kevin was about to do something but Jack told him to call 911. They should leave it to the experts. Jack's life is on the line so he wants it to be safe and sure. Greg and Jack made up after the party. Jack told him while being wheeled into the ambulance that Greg has always been his first choice.

After four months, together with Pam and Greg's parents, they celebrate Christmas Day in their new house. Greg's parents gave Jack a present of a kippah, informing him that they traced his family roots back while nursing him back to health, and they discovered that he is part Jewish. Bernie informs them that he and Roz are moving to Chicago and are going to move two houses down from theirs. Jack and Dina decided that they will move too because they want to be near their grandchildren too. Pam and Greg are trying to wean their parents off the idea as the film ends.

During the credits, Jack tried to Google himself (he discover the power of google when he tried to get information from the CIA but was informed that he can just look up Andi's information from google). Jack watched a video of greg on YouTube and discovers a remixed version of it. It was during the seminar (introducing Sustengo to the doctors) wherein Greg was one of the speaker and he dishes his father-in-law.

Me thinks...

The film was another comic masterpiece and captures all the actor's experiences in a new light. It was hilarious. Maybe they would have another sequel of it after a few years :)

IMORTAL FINALE

Waaaahhhhhh! One more night to go and we'll bid goodbye to our fave fantaserye Imortal :(

I hope the ending will be good tonight!

4/28/2011

Magnus and Imelda was seen crying besides Sam's cremated body and Lydia angrily told Magnus the one who killed Sam. He was the one to be blamed for her death, he bit Lucas, thus turning the latter into a monster. Magnus strangled Lydia. Imelda called called out his name and he let go of Lydia and he ran away.

Marcus went to Mateo (mateo's still trapped inside the coffin)and told him that Sam was killed and the one to be blamed is Mateo. It's all Mateo's fault. He, Marcus will kill the most precious person that Mateo hold dear in his life. He will kill Lia!

Mateo was still trapped inside the coffin and was still trying to get out of it.

Lia was talking with someone at the phone (Vergara I think) and noticed that the door was ajar. She told the person on the phone that someone might be inside the house. She went in, put the phone down the table. Lucas was there inside the house in his monster form.

Lucas told Lia that he can't turn back. He told her that he was pleading for help but Lia never listen to him. Lia asks him where he's hiding Mateo. Lucas angrily shouted that he does not know. Can't she understand him? He needs help from her. Lia asked him what does he want? Lucas just needs Lia beside him forever. Her accepting him even if he's a monster and for her to love him. Lia answered him that she would do that if he would lead them to Mateo. Lucas covered his ears and shouted that he's tired of hearing Mateo's name. So she should stop it right now. He was very angry.

Vergara's group came in and pointed their guns to Lucas. Lia told them they should not kill Lucas yet. They still need Lucas for they don't know where is Mateo. Lucas run off and they chase him.

Lucas and his goons attacked Magnus group, Lydia's camp, Olive's place and in the city. It was televised and Lucille watched it. Now she knew that all along Lia was right.

Jethro tried to get some premonition on how they can win their fight with Lucas. He saw Lia and Mateo bit each other. He told the heads what he saw. Lia was against it since that would mean they would die and that would put her baby  in jeopardy. Clarisse went in with her mom. Lucille and her group kneel known and asked the Punong Bantay to forgive them. Lia told her that she was always looking forward with this day. For their clan to be united and for the former Punong Bantay fighting beside her.

Imelda realizes that Magnus does not care for them after they we're attacked and she was told by Magnus himself that he never did care for her. Imelda told Marcus to free Mateo since they are being attacked and their numbers are dwindling. They need Mateo's strength. But Marcus was against freeing Mateo. After that she went to Lydia's group and told her that they are there to join their ranks, and that they finally realizes that Magnus can't be reasoned with anymore. There are there to be united (with Lydia's vampire and Wayas) and if they are united in fighting Lucas there might be a possibility to get back where they used to be..a peaceful nation.

Lia was roaming some places looking for Mateo.

The attacks were being broadcasted in the tube and the reporters were telling the public what the government's official statement on this matter.There was an outbreak of some unknown virus that was turning people like this. They should not be alarmed. Just stay inside their houses until they resolved this matter. The reporter was seen being dragged out of the screen. The next thing we know Lucas onscreen and giving a speech. He told the viewers that they should not believe what the government was saying. They should believe HIM. He and his group would attack the city and turn those they have bitten like him. But, he would not do it if Lia Ortega would come to him

4/29/2011

Lia gave a speech with all the vampire, waya and humans who wants to fight Lucas group. They are fighting for their clan and for peace.

Marcus (beside the coffin where mateo is): Lucas called Lia off in front of all the people who watched the report. But he would also text Lia to come on his lair and save Mateo. He know that Lia would run to save Mateo than look after Lia's clan and all the people for she loves him that much.

mateo still trying to get out to no avail

Lucilled convinced Lia to face Lucas. She and Lucille would go to Marcus lair to save Mateo.

Lucille vs Marcus: they fought with each other and their underling fought with each other. Lucille's underlings won vs his so he run off to get a lance. He was about to throw it to the coffin. Clarissed shouted at hm to stop (she was too weak here. She's a warewolf so why don't she fight back??? she went to a battle and she's unprepared????) she fell down and Marcus was about to throw the lance at her. Lucille stop infront of her. he pierced Lucille with the lance. went back to kill mateo with the lance. Lucille still have the energy to get the lance from him and pull it towards his heart. Marcus died. he turned to dust. Lucille died on clarisse arms and telling her she loves her.

mateo punches the lid of the coffin (about time!)

Lia VS Lucas

Lucas telling Lia if she is ready to be turned like him when she did not go to Marcus to save Mateo. Lia told him that she'll never love him and never go to him.

Lucas raised his hand, Out came Lucas group. Lia smiled and told him she's also ready for him and move her head and her allies went out.

some we're bitten on Lydias group. Imelda died sacrifices herself (no choice. she's surrounded so she detonated the bomb).

yay! here comes mateo riding a motorcycle.

Mateo and LIA VS Lucas

Even if they punched Lucas it was no use. Lucas is too strong for them. Lia was pierced on the chest by LUcas. He went to Mateo and was about to bit him but Lia pulled out the steel and flew and throw it towards Luca. When Lucas was avoiding the the steel Lia threw on his side, Lia grabbed mateo. they ran away.

she told mateo there's no choice they have to be one. Mateo does not agree. Lia told him for their baby they have to do it. Mateo bit Lia. Looks like mateo's gone. Lucas was rejoicing. Lia should be with him since he's now the strongest living creature in the world. Lia told him never ever. Lucas strangle Lia. If he can't have him then he'll send Lia to the other side to be with Mateo. Mateo grabbed Lucas hand and threw him off Lia. Lia's now weak like Mateo. whispered sorry to her unborn child.after a few minutes Lia's strong. Flew off to join the fight. they defeated Luca. They won. get up.  walk a few steps then fell down. their baby telling them she loves her mom and dad.

A few survived the fight.

Lia and Mateo with their baby. Lia telling her child that she would make protect her always. And in the future, humans would accept them.

the end.

*sorry I am sleepy na...so disappointed. The fight was not intense. did not feel it. the waya's should have turned into warewolves. they could snap the necks of their enemies. the fight was all punching and kicking. If I were there and fighting for my life I would not go out there with just a bamboo stick..those monsters are stronger than a mere human or even more stronger than the wayas, they should have brought an armed themselves well. or if they have a sword aim for the necks! Behead them.

*I think carlos agassi's character died. he was not shown with the survivors.

*I don't know why but if Pacman was in the series he would have ended the fight with all of Lucas underlings. It was just..hays...it would have been more pretty interesting if: vampire would leap on the air and slashed the monsters. the wayas turned into werewolves. and the humans should have equiped themselves better. It's just so dead wrong on my prespective.

they should have thought what the characters of the story would have done. we're not living in the middle ages so they can armed themselves better.

But then again. I am not the writer. I am just an audience.

the ending may have not sated my taste but I'll watche the story from the beginning. LObo is still my fave..and this one. maybe they run out of time (got confused by angel's dress. The dress and the flow of the story does not match. It was as if angel recycled what she wore the other day. But then again as I said they must have run out of time to film this). so i'll just bear with it. anyway, can't do with it. It's done! hahaha

I am a kapamilya! so good job guys! more good shows to come ^_^

IMORTAL FINALE


Two more days and IMORTAL would end. How sad. But it's at relief! hehe. It would be a bit tiring to have a long TV series. Its an improvement for the soap operas and tv series we have now. Years ago it would run for a long time and the scenes are dragging already and we the viewers would complain to please just end it already! (remember Mara-Clara?? It took years for them to know the real heiress and the evidence is just under their nose! hehe)

It's sad to say goodbye to Imortal and a lot of people would agree that we have a love-hate relationship with all the characters (love lia, mateo and especially sam's character!)

Here's what happened last night:

Lia went to the apartment where Simon was attacked. She saw some pills scattered on the table. She suddenly had stomach pains and she fell down. She touched the blood on the floor and she saw simon on the floor and the attacker was standing over her. I don't know if she knows that the attacker was actually Lucas.
Mateo was chained in a pillar and being slash by a chain by Imelda (Francine Prieto) magnus came in and got the chain and slash Mateo too. Then the next scene he was put in a coffin. Magnus was heard saying that Lia would never find Mateo. (I was really surprised when I saw Lia wearing my dress!! I also have that! LOve it! But the boots she's wearing does not go well with the dress)

Lia had another dream with her daughter (a toddler is talking with Lia. I think she's a telepath since she's still a toddler and can't talk. hindi sya si Lam-ang! hehe). She told Lia that she should not fight them. Then she woke up and Lucille's group entered the compound.

Mateo and company meanwhile saved the people in the summit. Lydia (Nikki valdes) does some hypnotizing with the people, so that they won't remember what really happen. Mateo manage to wound Magnus but Sam called his attention that made Magnus run away from Mateo.

Mateo asked Sam if she's really an ally when it shows that her intention was to freed her father. Sam told him if that's really what he thinks of her? and she told him that on their investigation that Lucas may be involved with all the killings. Mateo does not believe her. She told him that Magnus have bitten Lucas and even Magnus was surprised that Lucas is still alive. Maybe he's a monster now. Mateo walks away from Sam and leave.

Sam called Lia and told her about the investigation. She'll go to the hospital again and spy on Lucas.

Mateo received a text that Lucille's on the compound and is about to attack. A group of Vampires put a chain around him and drive off in a van.

Lucille's band and Lia's company had a face-off but Lia told her side to put down their guns. She told Lucille that she believes that Lucille really loves the Wayas Clan and only looks for the good of the Clan. That's what her sentiments too. If she really cares for the Waya's, she wants her to show it. If she can stomach killing her defenseless clansmen. If she did that, that only proves who she really is and what's she stands for. Lucille told her men to retreat. She told Lia that the next time they will fight she will not retreat and Lia should fight back. Carlos agassi's group went back to Lia's when they received a text informing them that Lucille is there to attack and kill Lia.

The captain of Lucille's team told her that some of the team are now having doubts on where she stands and maybe she's now being swayed into Lia's camp. She told them that if they want to they can go back but she won't go with them. She does not kill those who does not have a will to fight.

Sam confronted Lucas. Lucas took off and she run after him. They end up in some run down theater. She told him that he will all be alone. He got mad at her and bit Sam. Sam run away. Her right arm was turning to look like Lucas.

She went to Lia and told her that she got bitten by Lucas. She does not want to be a monster. She took a gun from Vergara (Carlos A) , told Lia to tell Mateo that she will always love him (waahhhhhh!!!! true love really is so heratbreaking especially if it's one sided!) and lock herself inside a room. Lia's company was knocking and knocking and shouting for sam to open the door.( I thought that waya's are super strong so why don't they just barge in..knocked down the door??? really confuse. the writer did not think well in this scene. so lame! hays! ) Sam killed herself. (so sad! Sam was one of my favorite character. I hope Maricar would have some more project's in ABS. She sure can act)

They have some burial ceremony for Sam. She did not turn into dust (maybe due to her being bitten by Lucas she's now not a purely vampire. Maybe that's the reason why she's not like the vampires who died who turn into dust. That's just a theory!)

Magnus and IMelda saw the burial of sam and while they are cremating her corpse Magnus uttered that he will avenge Sam's death ( I think he blames Mateo because on the teaser last night he was with Lucas and they are planning to kill Lia and Mateo and after that he can turn him (Magnus) like Lucas kind).

Mateo was trying to get out of the coffin but his hand we're being burned.

Let's watch out what will happen tonight!

Big Bang's Parody on Secret Garden

Have you watched Big Bang's Parody on the popular korean drama's Secret Garden? (it's one of my faves!) It was hilarious! But before watching it, you have to watch SG's TV series first. You won't be able to understand the flow of the story or the humor they are trying to show their audience. So, watch SG first! ( I strongly advise you to do so. I promise you that it's all worth your time. In the beginning it might not capture your interest but as the story goes on you'll be hooked too like moi!)

I was amazed by the way  they act out each of the characters on SG. Everything about the characters's mannerism,  expressions, and even the way they dressed. It was really funny to see Kim Joo-Won (Hyun Bin's) sweat suit again. hehe

What did not sit well with me is on the part where they have to kiss. Okey, it's big bang's parody so they have to act out the characters..but they should have just get a girl to act out Gil Ra Im's character. It really grossed me out to watch two guys kissing ( even if it was a smack kiss-- but then again it's just so wrong. I like Big Bang but after watching it their pedestal just seems to get down from my prespective). And I really pity the guy who have to kiss 2 guys on that parody..

But then again, It's just my opinion. So, don't shoot me. I am just telling you what's on my mind. To each his own-- so whatever's our stand in this..just respect it.

I am not against homosexuals (I have friends on that sector) but after watching it..it made me think-- are they gays? Nothing about it if ever they are but one would think on that route. But if they are-- go for it. We're all open minded now than it were eons ago. BUt if not-- that must have took a lot of guts to film it!

But, nevertheless, Good job guys! ^_^

It was entertaining! But next time if you have to act out a girl's character and if there is kissing involve, give the girl's character to a girl! (Dara from 2ne1 would be great! I'd love to see her with you guys) ^_^

WORMS on My PC

I've been having problems with my PC. There are a lot of worms on my files. It begun when I used my USB from an internet shop then used it on my PC. My antivirus was AVG but it wasn't able to detect it >_< It was a surprise when a window just popped into my desktop informing me that theres a virus and then linked me into a site where I have to buy an antivirus to correct it >_<

Internet viruses and worms can wreck havok on your PC. The effects: some would simply monitor your web usage; or erase/ corrupt your critical software components; or worst it may make your PC unusable to you.

What to do to avoid having it:

1. install an antivirus
2. Learn to avoid viruses and worms in the first place. ( don't download files from people you don't know or from untrusted website)
3. regularly scan your PC
4. make a backup for the files that are too important to you.

If you're on the same boat as me, wherein you already have worms/virus on your PC, here's what you have to do:

1. Install malwarebytes and superantispyware. Both are free. just install them (just read the instructions. It's easy to follow.) after installing it scan your PC then the program will remove the worms. Then your PC have to be rebooted to completely erase it.
2. Install Avast Anti-virus. It's free ^_^ scan your PC regularly with it (maybe once a week or month. When you put removable drive like USB if there's a virus you will be alerted by the program).

I am completely in love with the internet! You'll get lots of free stuff  :) free ebks, free movies, free software. yay!

k-drama review: Temptation of a wife



Synopsis

Goo Eun Jae (played by actress jang seo hee) graduated as a make-up artist major at a university and began preparations to study abroad in France. Her dreams to study in France are halted by a pregnancy with Jung Gyo-Bin (played by actor Byun Woo-Min) after he took advantage of her when she was drunk. She decided to marry him and give up her dreams in order to be a responsible mother for her unborn child. Eun-Jae's pregnancy soon ended in tragic miscarriage. Eun-Jae was trying to protect her mother in law, Baek Mi-in, when she was pushed down the steps by a creditor of the said in-law. Eun-Jae fell and lost her baby. It took a long time until Eun-Jae became pregnant again.

At about the same time when Eun Jae found out about her second pregnancy, Shin Ae-Ri (played by actress Kim Seo Hyung) returns from her five-year long from France (where she studied about make-up).
Shin Ae-Ri grew up in the same household as Eun-Jae ever since she became an orphan when she was about 7-10 years old. Her family was on the way to the Goo Household in order to have dinner with them when Ae-Ri threw the clothes and doll her mother was supposed to give to Eun-Jae as presents to her father who was driving. Also because her father was driving during a storm, they ended crashing the car. Both Ae-Ri's parents died and the Goo Family has then taken Ae-Ri in since and raised her for 20 years along with Eun-Jae, treating her as if she were their own daughter. Later on, Ae-Ri became the girlfriend of Eun-Jae's brother Goo Kang-Jae. Then she left for France, revealing that someone was taking care of her tuitions for her.

After 7 years of living the Jung Family as Gyo-Bin's housewife (and also as the housekeeper to the Jung Family's mansion), Eun-Jae soon found out that her husband had been cheating on her with Ae-Ri. It turned out that he was the one giving out the said funds for Ae-Ri's travel to France. To add to this insult, Ae-Ri revealed that she had Gyo Bin’s child five years ago, named Jung Nino.

Eun-Jae's brother, Kang-Jae, gained knowledge about the situation, whereupon he set out in anger to assault Gyo-Bin. This event gave Gyo-Bin and his mother, Mi'in, reason to force Eun-Jae into signing up consent for a divorce. After the divorce, Gyo-Bin and Ae-Ri got married while Eun-Jae moved back to her own family's house. Ae-Ri went to pay a visit to Eun-Jae, demanding her to get an abortion. Eun-Jae refused to do so in which Gyo-Bin dragged her to a gynecologist in Sokcho, forcing her into aborting their baby. Eun-Jae again refused. Gyo-Bin then drove her to Sokcho Beach, throwing her necklace, given by her father-in-law as a promise not to give up on Gyo-Bin, into the sea.

Eun-Jae tried to save the necklace, but not knowing how to swim, she soon found herself being dragged by the waves. Eun-Jae begged Gyo-Bin to save her baby but Gyo-Bin ignored Eun-Jae and abandond her at sea to drown and die. Ae-Ri and Gyo-Bin decided to keep this all a secret, lying that Eun-Jae had committed suicide. Ae-Ri faked Eun-Jae's suicide note (or will) which she gave to the police and Gyo-Bin thereafter told everybody that he had not seen Eun-Jae the whole day.

In the midst of all this, Min Gun-Woo (played by actor Lee Jae Hwang), the adoptive son of Lady Min, was near Sokcho in a search for his missing stepsister, Min So-Hee.

Min So-Hee loved Gun-Woo and wanted to marry him. When her mother, Lady Min, refused, So-Hee told Gun-Woo to marry her secretly anyway. Gun-Woo had decided not to tell his mother what was happening, as So-Hee had ran away from home. Lady Min arranged for another girl to marry Gun Woo, hoping that So-Hee will give up and come back. So-Hee's arranged marriage to Gun Woo was on the same day as Lady Min's arranged marriage. Gun-Woo decided to follow his mother's orders and marry the other girl. So-Hee, devastated that he did not come, then walked into the sea to drown herself.

Gun-Woo, searching for So-Hee, found Eun-Jae's unconscious body instead. He then took her to a doctorr who revealed that she had another miscarriage. Through the help of Gun-Woo and the doctor, Eun-Jae was allowed to live in the hospital for free where she worked at the same time to show gratitude.
Lady Min, thinking Eun-Jae's experience was similar to hers, introduced Eun-Jae to her home. Thereafter, Eun-Jae took on the identity of Min So-Hee, in order to sought out revenge against Gyo-Bin and Ae-Ri who destroyed her life and tried to kill her. Gun-Woo fell in love with Eun-Jae in the process and Eun-Jae with Gun-Woo, but Eun-Jae decided to hold her feelings back for him in order to fulfill her revenge.

Ae-Ri gets suspicious of the woman claiming to be Min So-Hee. One day the two women met and Heidi was positive that this So Hee was Eun Jae. Eun Jae acted well and said that Ae Ri was crazy. Ae Ri didn't want to lose her man, so she went to Lady Min's house and ruined everything. Gyo Bin divorces Ae Ri and married So Hee. Gyo Bin kicks Ae Ri out of her house, but keeps Nino, Ae Ri's son. Nino is rude to So Hee because of the stories his mother tells him about her.

Ae Ri gets even more suspicious and calls Gyo Bin when So Hee and Gun Woo embrace. So Hee re-assured that she loved Gyo Bin that's why she married him, ensuring him that Gun Woo and her are just close siblings. Gyo Bin wants to have sexual intercourse with So Hee, but she bought twin beds instead of one big bed, and refused his advances. Ae Ri begs for Gyo Bin and his family to give her son to her. Ae Ri gets Nino, but Nino gets injured and Ae Ri pities her son, for now she was poor and could not give him a comfortable life. She returns Nino to Gyo Bin's family.

So Hee soon became worried about her true identity to be revealed by Ae Ri, with the help of Lady Min they went to her parents and told the truth which helped to have her true identity still covered. In order to complete her revenge, she tricks Gyo Bin to give all his family assets to her and her "mother" Lady Min, his father's company, their house, his mother's house and land and causes their family to go bankrupt. Lady Min had a history with Jung Ha Jo, Gyo Bin's father. They had a child together (they were not married) named Ha Neul (meaning Star). To Lady Min, Ha Jo supposedly killed Star due to a sickness that was never treated and killed Lady Min's father by stealing their land. Lady Min gets revenge by telling Ha Jo to give all his assets (including Cheonji Constructions) and selling his house because of items on properties that was created by Gyo Bin to Lady Min. Because of this, Ha Jo complied and gave them up. To humiliate Ha Jo's family further, Lady Min gets his family to switch houses with Eun Jae's family, or Ha Jo's large house will be auctioned and sold away. Gyo Bin's family is now poor while Eun Jae's family is now living more comfortably. Gyo Bin says that he now loves Eun Jae and tries to force her to stay with him, since they are still lawfully wedded but the disgusted Eun Jae hates him.

The real So Hee comes alive and she was suffering from serious depression. She gets mad at Eun Jae because Gun Woo fell in love with her and they planned a wedding. So Hee crashes the weeding. One day Eun Jae went to work and everyone was praising her because of her make-up artist skills. So Hee tells all the workers that she was the real daughter of Lady Min and she proclaims herself the owner of Min Beauty Shop. Ae Ri saw this and asks So Hee to cooperate with her to ruin Eun Jae's life. At first, this works out. Later, Ae Ri will be the reason why Gun Woo divorced So Hee, this collaboration ended.

So Hee persuaded her mother to tell Gun Woo to marry her. (Min So Hee is Lady Min's real daughter and Gun Woo was adopted) Lady Min told Gun Woo that he had two choices: marry So Hee and Eun Jae's alliance will be better than ever or marry Eun Jae and Lady Min will never talk to Gun Woo or Eun Jae again. Gun Woo married So Hee because he thought her depression would get better and So Hee won't ruin Eun Jae's life. So Hee does the complete opposite.

Eun Jae continued to become the best make up artist and lives now with her family. One day, Gun Woo went to work to sign a contract with Harrison. Ae Ri wants to be back with Gyo Bin and bring back the position he had before and also the construction company, so she told Gyo Bin to sign the contract. Meanwhile, So Hee ruins Eun Jae's artwork and rips a page out. While they fight, Ae Ri calls Gun Woo about how Eun Jae is getting terrified. Gun Woo turns the car and drives to the Beauty Shop. He sees So Hee ripping the page and tells her to divorce him. Gun Woo is now late for his meeting, so Ha Jo tells Gyo Bin to sign the contract instead. Gun Woo now decides to divorce So Hee no matter what.

Ae Ri comes back to the family. She makes Gyo Bin sleep with her, making her pregnant. While she is pregnant, she has an advanced stage of stomach cancer. Doctors tell her to get an abortion so she can have the cancer surgery, but she refused. She thinks the baby is the only way to keep Gyo Bin and her together.
Ae Ri and Eun Jae join a make up competition that has three stages. On the first stage, Ae Ri, another lady, and Eun Jae won and would be competing. In the second stage, Ae Ri and Eun Jae won and would be competing against each other. In the third stage, Ae Ri gets desperate so she bribes the judges. In the competition, there were different judges. Ae Ri tells Eun Jae's model that a French make-up artist would talk to her. Ae Ri gets Eun Jae another model, but she was allergic to natural make-up, which was about this competition. The judges ask Eun Jae why she kept erasing the model's make-up. Eun Jae admits about the model's problem and tells them that the model has a rash. She covered the rash with her concealer. The judges proclaim Ae Ri as the grand prize winner. The judges find out in time that Ae Ri bribed the judges, so they change the winner to Eun Jae. Ae Ri had a miscarriage but Ae Ri and Eun Jae became true friends again. Eun Jae insists Ae Ri to get the cancer treatment surgery, but Ae Ri is scared that she will die.

In the last episode, Ha Neul (who is the real, living Star) becomes pregnant with her husband Kang Jae. Ae Ri and Gyo Bin went on vacation. During this vacation, Ae Ri made a sea shell necklace for Nino. Ae Ri makes two letters: one for Gyo Bin and one for Eun Jae. Ae Ri went to the sea to drowns herself but Gyo Bin tried to save her. Ae Ri was screaming for him to let go because he needed to take care of Nino and that she was going to die anyway. He said he wasn't going to let go and he was going to save her. They were so tired that they were talking in their minds. Ae Ri's mind said to take good care of Nino. Gyo Bin's mind told her that he let go of Eun Jae's hand once, and he didn't want to make the same mistake with her. In the end, the couple dies.

The entire family attended their funeral. Eun Jae gives Nino the sea shell necklace saying, "This is the last present your mother is giving you." Nino goes on the street and a car nearly crashes into him. He states his mother and father were on the other side of the street. Everybody assumed that they were protecting their son from danger. Ae Ri's letter to Eun Jae said to bury her ashes on the beach where Eun Jae almost died in.
So Hee and her mother decides to go to America together. Lady Min gives Ha Jo the papers to own Cheonji Constructions again. Gun Woo met Eun Jae while she was spreading the ashes. He said that he was very sorry for hurting her feelings and that he won't do it again. He feels that Eun Jae should be his wife. So Hee gave Eun Jae two rings and a note sayingI broke you two up. Here's the chance to get back together again." Gun Woo puts his arm around Eun Jae and looks at the sky with her. They were sure that they saw Ae Ri and Gyo Bin together. The whole drama ended by having the two couples smiling at each other. Ae Ri and Gyo Bin were wearing white, and looking back at their friends.

Me thinks...

this drama was way too long for moi! It was painful to watch! Really! I am telling you. The drama has 129 episodes. But I endured it since I was too curious on what would happen with all the characters and the spin and twist that will happen later on with the story. But trust me.. you will not miss anything if you'll not watch this one. It was full of drama. The story is more about revenge..

moral of the story:

1. revenge will only begoth more revenge
2. forgive and forget??
3. don't cheat

I watched it for two days! ( hahaha my sisters watched it with me and they all knew the characters and all of us would just want it to end already! It was long! as I've said earlier!) you won't miss anything actually. I gave this one a chance since it was on mysoju's top 20..hays...

I am Legend

***SPOILER alert****
***read with caution. I may have spill out some of the story or what may have happen on the series. If you don't want to know dont read***



A new korean drama would be shown in ABS-CBN (I think it would be taking over MY Princess slot since they only have two weeks to air the tv series) I am Legend. The story would be about the four members of the band. The lead singer will be played by kim jung eun (more known as vivian in Lovers in Paris), the name of the band is Comeback Madonna Band.




SYNOPSIS

The drama portrays Jun Seol Hee (played by Kim) who was the legendary rock singer of a band in high school day, but to support her younger sister she began to work at Korea’s top law firm as a clerk. Then, she met a promising lawyer and lured him to marriage. Unfortunately, she was treated badly by her in-law which finally made her to file for divorced. Starting a new life, she rediscovers her talent in music and sets up to form a new band. Her bandmates are fellow "ahjummas" who have personal problems of their own, and together they search for happiness and personal fulfillment through music.



Me thinks....

> when I saw the teaser of the tv series in ABS-CBN it captured my interest and since it was kim i was curious of the story.
>Being a k-drama fanatic i am always browsing at http://www.mysoju.com/ since I can watch new k-drama there and the english subtitles there are superb! The reviews of my legend on the forums we're not great so I always passby the series. But due to my curiosity I watch a few of the episodes online but THANKS to my cousin she bought a cd of it so I watch it from the beginning until the end!

The series is ok but not great. It made me hanging on with the ending of the story. It was not made clear on if jun end up with jang tae hyun. It made me frustrated...but then again the story is about the lives of the four band members so it's not a  love story of the lead singer..but they should have atleast end it and show that those two end up with each other.
