Down With Love


Synopsis

Xiang Yu Ping (Jerry Yan), a divorce and inheritance lawyer, who is seen by others as a cold, ruthless and selfish person, had to take care of his niece and nephew when his brother died in a car accident. The children's mother had left the family so he had no choice but to take care of them. Every nanny he hires to take care of his two mischievous charges is either scared off by the two or ends up falling for him. Fed up of changing nannies, he asks his secretary to find him one that won't fall for him and won't get scared by his charges. Yang Duo, his secretary loves money, they used to be wealthy but after their mother passed away and being abandoned by their father, they lost their wealth and been left by heavy debts, she has no choice but love money for it would make their life easy. She recommends her sister, Yang Guo for the job assuring him that her tomboyish sister will not fall for him and lying that she does not like men at all. But after Yang Guo saves Yu Ping from an explosion, he started to fall for Yang Guo's plain beauty and kindness. 



**I've been hooked with this drama! It got me glued to the TV from start to finish. I had another day marathon watching it from start to finish. It was already shown in ABS-CBN but I was not able to watch it.


I am a fan of Jerry Yan (it's all because of Meteor Garden that I've learn to love him ^_^ haha) and that's one of the top reasons why I watched it. He delivers his character here very well. I was not into his character on his TV series Hot shot.



On Ella's acting it was just the same as her character in Hana Kimi. I'd like to see her have a different character like those given to Ariel Lin and Rainie Yang ( I love both of them! Like their characters on some of their tv series). A tomboy character would always be given to Ella and that's not fair. She may be able to grow more if she'll be given a more challenging role and not the usual ones given to her :)


The niece and nephew of Yu Ping is so cute! ^_^ these two rascals played their part well

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.

Hana Yori Dango Fever

It all started with the manga hana yori dango



.........then it was put into television more known as Meteor Garden



then televise again.............. in japanese version Hanayori dango



 then comes the korean version Boys Over flowers



the plot are all the same a poor girl bullied by a rich boy and the boy fell for the girl but she likes another and when they both love each other there would be some problems they would get into when the villain ( the mother of the rich boy) knew about their relationship.

All the main actors i loved them all! But Meteor garden 2 was dragging and they add other characters so watching it till the end was a pain. yes. It was painful watching it because the scenes were dragging! Amogst the four series the one that I watch season 1 and 2 and even the movie was the japanese version Hanayori Dango. It maybe because of Jun Matsumoto BUT the plot was okey! it was more than okey! It was great! I love the scene on season two when he propose to makino! waaah! it was way cool to do that! loved it!

MG1 was okey! You got me hooked there guys but season 2 was not okey! it was dragging!

BOF, korean version, was okey. Lee min ho is hot! The actors made me laugh and almost cry! so two thumbs up for you guys.

The manga may be finish but i hope the author would still write about the story of hanasawa rui, Sojirou Nishikado, and Akira Mimasaka.  *fingers crossed*

If you caught the bug too...you may know what Iam talking about. ^_^




k-drama: SECRET GARDEN


After months of wondering on who among the network here in phi would be able to buy  the rights for airing Secret Garden it was now known that GMA 7 would be the one. I was a bit tad disappointed. I was rooting for ABS-CBN to air it! K-dramas that are close to my hearts should have a good dubber. I don't know why but the dubbers in GMA I find them not ensynch with the characters of the k-drama. (the only k-drama that i watched in GMA was full house and kim sam soon because the voices/dubbed was okey and it was almost as if the actors are talking in filipino. and you can feel the dubbers voice bring out the characters in the story.

Maybe next week i'll watch SG in GMA and see if the dubbers are good.

SG's one of the best K-drama I watched ( this year! okey i'll put it on my MUST watch list since it's way too good and I love HYun bin!!! waaahhh!).  The story revolves around the arrogant heir to a large company, Kim Joo Won (Hyun Bin), whose life takes a drastic change when he meets driven female stunt woman Gil Ra Im (Ha Ji Won). While Joo Won is drawn to the very different Ra Im, she cares more about pop star Oscar (Yoon Sang Hyun). Their story starts on their accidental meeting, when Joo Won mistakes Ra Im for actress Park Chae Rin, marks the beginning of a tense, bickering relationship, through which Joo Won tries to hide a growing attraction to Ra Im that both confuses and disturbs him. One day they went deep into the mountains and entered a strange house. A strange grandmother offered them medicinal/herbal drink. The next day they found themselves changing bodies.

.(i think theres a manga that a boy and a girl switch souls. I am still looking for it. I'll post it here if I found it).



SG has the action-fantasy-melodrama so it was all worth it to watch until the finale.

I recommend this k-drama guys! It's a MUST watch k-drama. On the beginning though you might have some doubts if it's really good but give it a chance! you'll get hooked in this drama *wink*. and there are some scenes that are way too funny. And did i mentioned that HYUN bin is on this drama? it's on the top of the list on why you should watch it! coz HYUN BIN is the main actor on the kdrama ^^,

MY MUST WATCH LIST

1. My Girl


This is my first kdrama that i've watched till the end. My ever first kdrama marathon :) I just have to finish it to the end. Fell in love with the series and characters! Two thumbs up for this episodes. The scenes were not dragging and you will be entertained on each episode. no dull moment. because of this it made me hook on kdramas! (the first korean show that i've watch is non stop so i was already on the look out on some shows that the koreans have to offer and after a few years I came into this kdrama and it was history! I am now a kdrama addict! :)

Synopsis:

When Gong Chan  meets the lively and beautiful Yoo Rin , he finds out that she has connections to his missing cousin, whom his grandfather has been searching for. He asks Yoo Rin to lie about being his long missing cousin until he can find his real cousin. She says yes, but soon their feelings for each other get in the way of their plans. Gong Chan's friend, Jung Woo  falls for Yoo Rin while Gong Chan's ex-girlfriend, Seo Hyun , a pro tennis player, tries to win him back.

2. Brilliant Inheritance/ Brilliant Legacy



One of the best series that I've watched. I can watch it over and over again. I usually like Romantic comedy but when i watched one episode of this in animax it left me hanging up with the story and look up for this episodes at http://www.mysoju.com/.

Synopsis:


Go Eun Sung's life is similar to Cinderella's. After her father died, her step-mother, Baek Sung Hee, took away all of her assets and her younger brother, Eun Woo, suddenly disappears without a trace. Despite this, Eun Sung preservers and works really hard to fulfill her dreams. When the CEO of a food company, Jang Sook Ja, suffers amnesia and can't remember who she is Eun Sung takes her in. However, Eun Sung does not know that she is the grandmother of Sun Woo Hwan, the man who she switched bags with at the airport.


Lessons leanerd in the story:

1. Money maybe the root of all evils. - Money is scary thing. it would make people change and make them do things that maybe despicable to others but on their prespective it's okey since it would be the only way to save their own skin or their own blood.

2. Love - love can either make you do good or bad thing.

3. Good Samaritan - help thy neighbor/stranger along the road. She maybe a rich old woman that maybe able to help you with your problems. 

4. Your past will haunt you - even if you run or hide your past will caught up to you. your past may just turn up on you in the future and it will happen when you are most unaware. So live your life within God's accordance and hold on to your morality.

5. Don't lie - if you lie it will just make you lie more and when you're caught on your lie when the time of reckoning is near you'll have no one or nothing to hold on to.


3. Pride



My first japanese drama. I was surprise that they have shorter episodes compared with what we have ( filipino's or tagalog dramas used to be longer.) and with korean dramas. And it was fine by me! ( meaning I can finish the drama/story for less than a day! hehe).

Synopsis:

Halu is the captain and star player of an ice hockey team, who is greatly respected by his teammates. For him, hockey is serious business that fully occupies his mind, while he treats romance as if it were a game.

Aki is a typical OL (office lady), and is waiting for her boyfriend to return from studying architecture abroad. At this point in time however, he shows no sign of coming back. One day, Aki's friends who are determined to find her a new boyfriend, invite her to watch an ice hockey game. There she sees Halu for the first time.
After the game, Aki and her friends join the players for a party celebrating their victory. Aki, however, is not so excited to be there. When she leaves the party, she bumps into Halu, who was slightly injured from a fight. They exchange e-mail addresses and part.

The sparks of mutual attraction are ignited in a second encounter between Aki and Halu, arranged with the help of her friends shortly after a party.

Hyodo has come as a replacement for the team's coach who has been hospitalized. Halu has a lot of respect for the hospitalized coach. Unfortunately, he can't stand Hyodo's way of doing things. Bringing with him a lot of coaching experience from overseas, Hyodo criticizes the former coach's strategies. Whenever Halu and Hyodo see each other, they get into a quarrel; consequently influencing Halu's behavior during games.
Seeing that his game ended in a brawl, Aki visits Halu to comfort him. But he tells her that she is being too friendly with him.

Aki is hurt, Halu is irritated, and his teammate Hotta can't stand seeing Halu like this.

But later on in the series she accepted that she is the princess to clear out her fathers name and fell in love with Park Hae-young evethough they have conflicted interest ( he does not want to give up his inheritance for the restoration of the Imperial Family, while on lee seol's side, eventhough she does not want to be the princess but she has to go with the president in order to clear her father's name since she thinks that park hae-young does not have the power to do so since he was unable to put a stop of their videos on the internet and she was banned for leaving the country and had her passport confiscated when she agreed with him to flee the country and decline her position as the princess)

    Park Hae-young, the grandson and heir of Daehan group was appointed to be Lee Seol's teacher on proper etiquette. He does not want Lee Seol to be the princess for he is oppose on restoring the Imperial Family since that would mean giving up his inheritance if the monarch is restored. He plot and pull some tricks on stopping her to be the princess but in the end fell for her and was the one who convinced her to be the princess of korea.

    Oh Yoon-joo, The future daughter-in- law of the Daehan Group, the Daehan group's museum curator is the villain of the series. She would do things in her power to be the part of  Daehan Group. She was supposed to be Park Hae-Young's Fiancee but with the sudden apperance of the princess all her plans was distrupted. Upon learning that the President of Daehan group would give  all his properties back to the society if the imperial family is restored. That is not in accordance to her plans since she wants to be Park Hae-youngs wife but she wants to be a RICH man wife.

    My Thoughts:

    > light hearted. made me laugh. not too much dramatic. no dragging scene
    >love Lee Seol's outfits, (the way she winks was cute! must learn that!)
    >hated Oh Yoon-joo character!
    >some lines we're too cheesy!! Especially when Park Hae-young likes her already!
    > this series is already airing on ABS-cbn but I want to know the entire story and how it ends so i've been watching the series already.( just only ep5! but got impatient so watched  the final episode and my elder sis watched it with moi. haha)
