Korean Drama: You Who Came From Another Star (A Prediction)

This drama is doing so good. Not even Kim Hyun Joong's Inspiring Generation can beat it's rating of over 20%. It is now on my list of favorite dramas.

With all that happened so far in the story of You Who came from another star, I think I have an idea of how this drama will end. It is still on the 14th episode and somehow the pieces are coming to me. :) My predictions. LOL Can I be a drama writer? Waaaahhh

Do Min Joon - since he became attached to Cheon Song Yi, he is now having second thoughts whether he will go back to where he belong or just stay with her and die  since he is already feeling a little weak. I think he will stay and destiny will help him to become a real human. nyahaha Why do I say so? He has been feeling his unsual self and since he met Cheon Song Yi, his body has been changing and feeling weak.Maybe he is slowly becoming human with all the time he has spent on earth, he must have been adapting and it took him this long to have adjusted.

Korean Drama: Inspiring Generation 2014

After the conclusion of Pretty Boy comes Kim Hyun Joong's Age of Feeling also known as Inspiring Generation. Sadly, I haven't watch it yet since I cannot find any good source that streams the drama. I've read good reviews about it but still watching it is different. It is the counterpart of SBS You who came from the Stars who got high viewer rating for it's timeslot. I wonder if Inspiring Generation can win over it.  SBS drama rating dropped while KBSs increased than how it was with Pretty Man.

I got used looking at Hyun Joong's Flower Boy image and now this is a new image that can either break him or put him to the top. Well, let see about that. He seems manly and still has the same Hyun Joon look in his eyes which is what I love about him.

**UPDATE**
After doing some research, found a link here that actually works. I haven't watched it though, will watch it over the weekend. But I wish that gooddrama would have this series in their list since I can watch it while I'm mobile. For now, until it is not yet available in Gooddrama, watching it with viki will have to do for now.

Korean Drama: Pretty Boy Episode 13-15 Compressed Summary

Here I am again, a compressed summary for episodes 13-15.

As much as I would love to make a detailed recap for each episode, time and again, I keep telling myself to write when I have the opportunity. But sadly, it is becoming more difficult for me to write a review these days.

This drama follows The Heirs drama. Its first episode was aired on December 18, 2013.

The story revolves around the life of an alien named Do Min Joon. He came to earth 400 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty. He originally had a group of aliens came to earth to get specimens to test whether earth is a suitable place for them to live. When they landed earth, the widowed crowned princess at the time is travelling and because of the strong wind brought about by the spaceship, the vehicle that the princess rode in flew until it reached the cliff. However, instead of falling from the cliff, everything in the area stopped even the flies and the leaves froze in mid-air. The carriage that the princess is riding on is also floating in mid-air. Then came a man in black clothing, he pulled the almost falling carriage and saw a girl inside. It seemed impossible for the princess but somehow she knew that the person saved her life. Since then Do Min Joon has been with the girl and witnessed how life on earth can be so cruel. He was left by his alien troops and got stuck on earth for 400 years since then. He has witnessed several important events and still his appearance remains the same. He even must have studied every single thing on earth.On the present time, he is a lecturer at a university and lives in the 23rd floor of Golden Apt where his neighbor is Cheon Song Yi, a famous Korean actress.Their first encounter was not a very pleasant one, however, later as the story progress, he found out the Cheon Song Yi was the reincarnation of the princess he met 400 years ago. Song Yi's first love was the man who saved her from being hit by a truck 12 years ago and that was Do Min Joon. He is slowly getting attached to her and having an unusal feeling that aliens should not feel. Unfortunately, he only has 3 months left on earth because his only chance to go back to where he came from is the day that the earth is closer to the other planets. This is how Do Min Joon spent the last 3 months of stay on earth with Cheon Song Yi. Would Cheon Song Yi recognize hi as the man that saved her from before or will Do Min Joon tell her about his alien identity?

I only started to watch the series two days ago and I got hooked since episode 1. It's an unusual story instead of a time traveling plot that we have seen for quite some time now. Well, at least for me, I do not know about you. :) I got curios with the leads since I loved Jun Ji-Hyun from My Sassy Girl. However, she grew up, her face changed over the years. One more thing I am curious about is that of Kim Soo Hyun. I still consider myself a novice to Kdrama. Honestly, I do not watch all Korean drama's. I only watch those I think is interesting. So, Kim Soo Hyun is something for me to watch out for, I definitely will watch Moon Embracing the Sun once I am done with the drama's I am currently watching. LOL 

Going back to this drama, it has 20 episodes and so far, I don't feel being dragged by the storyline. Its pace is just right and every episode reveals something relevant to the characters. Currently, the drama is at it's 7th episode as of this writing and is getting a high viewer ratings of 40% for episode 6. Let us see how well the drama keeps its rating.

Korean Drama: Pretty Boy 12 Summary

Episode 12 of Pretty Boy

At long last, the password that Ma Te has been searching for is being handed over by Yoo Ra. However, Ma Te did not listen to the recording and deleted it. He was curious why she is giving him the password when David asked her for it when he the owner did not even got close to getting it himself. Ma Te is not aware of the deal that David and Yoo Ra had in exchange for the password. Bo Tong immediately went to see David at home and asked why he did it for her sake. Ma Te saw this outside the gate and just left.

Jang Geun Suk vs. Lee Min Ho

 If I were to choose between these two lovies, I'll just kill myself if I really have to. LOL  Really, its too hard to pick only one since both are good and both are my ultimate crushes.. HAHAHA Sukkie Oppa has the looks of an angel, voice of a man, talent which can make you dance with him and witty and bubbly personality. Min Ho Sshi has the looks that can melt your heart and charming personality you can fall in love with. He cannot dance and sing very well compared to Sukkie (he is actually aware of it) but you'd still love to see him dance and sing.

From what I am seeing on the number of visitors I get, it seems like Jang Geun Suk is more popular than Lee Min Ho. Though, this blog contains mostly reviews and updates about both stars , one can tell who would win this poll. The above screenshot are the episodes of Pretty Boy and The Heirs that gotthe most number of visitors. Perhaps because Pretty Boy of Jang Geun Suk is currently on air and The  Heirs of Lee Min Ho has recently been concluded. This may be the reason why the number of visitors greatly differ. I hope so.
The viewer rating of The Heirs actually reached 20% at one point while Pretty Boy did not even reach 5% for some reason. Sukkie Oppa is quite popular overseas and  he has a lot of fanbase all over the world. Lee Min Ho has a lot too.
Even my six year old daughter would kiss Lee Min Ho's picture in the magazine. She even listed him in her family tree. LOL As for Sukkie, whenever I would tell her anything about Sukkie, she would smile and say that she loves him and she wants to go to Korea just to see them. hahaha

So to compare both Hallyu stars would be a sin. They should not be compared because they are both unique and special. Love them both. XOXO

Korean Drama: Pretty Boy Episode 11 Summary

Before anything else! Happy New Year! This is my first post for year 2014 and I hope to be posting and writing more for the rest of the year. Recaps, reviews, updates or better yet late updates may be posted not in a very timely manner but will try to do good this year. :)

Here is the recap for Episode 11 of Pretty Boy

David and Ma Te met at the MG Night. David, however, introduced himself as the son of chairman's best friend. Ma Te was shocked to see him in the party. He tried to present himself to the Chairman but someone interrupted his attempt. The chairman looked dismayed knowing that Ma Te has been playing around. Disappointed with himself, Ma Te walked out of the party leaving Kwi Ji alone. 

The next day, Kwi Ji insists on seeing Ma Te and offers him several pizza boxes with money inside. Annoyed with Kwi Ji's acts, Ma Te went to see the SS Group's chairman, Kwi Ji's father, and asked him to give him the SS Home Shopping. The Chairman got mad and shoves Ma Te away.
