Jang Geun Suk and many other Hotties plan to enlist in military service this year

As we all know, all Korean men have to serve the military between 18-35 years old. A lot of Hallyu stars are planning to enlist in military service this year. One of the rumored actors to enlist is Jang Geun Suk.

We cannot deny that at the age of 26, Jang Geun Suk is at the prime of his career. Most Korean men would enlist before they reach the age of 30. At 26, Jang Geun Suk is at the perfect age for the military service. Oh no! What to do if Jang Geun Suk will really serve the military. There won't be anymore of him for the next 2 years. That would be tormenting. Unfortunately, even if he does not enlist this year, sooner or later he will have to. Perhaps it would be better for him to enlist early on so that his career would go smooth after his service.

It is not only Jang Geun Suk who is rumored to serve the military this year. Other Hallyu stars who are planning to enlist this year includes Yoo Ah In, the genius pianist in Secret Love Affair. He will just finish the drama before he will enlist. Inspiring Generation's Kim Hyun Joong plans to enlist in October.

Kim Soo Hyun of You Who Came From The Stars already went through the first stage of admission which is the physical examination. However, there is no definite time as to when he would serve the military. Choi Jin Hyuk of Emergency Couple also passed the exams for military service but will serve the police first before he enlists. Park Yoo Chun who stars in the current drama Three Days has asthma so he is a reserved member and will serve as a public service worker.

Fortunately, 26 year old Lee Min Ho has no plans yet to serve the military yet. Taecyeon of Wonderful Days plans to serve in 2016. That means that we still have some hotties left if all those mentioned above would really enlist this year.

Although these are just rumors, the drama world would be quite affected if all of them would serve in the same year. There are still a lot of hotties left to *munch* on, Lee Hong Ki, Jung Yong Hwa, Kim Woo Bin, Joo Won, Yoon Shi Yoon and many others. Let's not forget those who just returned from the service Kim Jae Wook and those who are coming back after a year Song Joon Ki and Yoo Seung Ho. Let's see what the service had made them.

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: The Heirs Episode 20 Finale Summary and Review

First of all, Happy Holidays! Talk about being late. This is over the board late than any reviews you may find out there. HAHAHA Too bad, I still have to make it to just end The Heirs series. Nobody tells me to but who cares anyway.

 

 And so, they were given the blessing by Kim Tan's father. However, the chairman fell into a coma. This opened the opportunity for the chairwoman to use her power to transfer the company to her name. The brothers, Won and Tan along with Secretary Yoon, joined forces to stop the motion to transfer the ownership to the chairwoman.

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 19 Summary

Summary of Episode 19 The Heirs

I know this is another late post I have to do not only because of the storyline but because it is already ending and I just have to make it. LOL

It is Kim Tan’s birthday and all of the important people of the Empire Group are invited. Kim Tan's friends came as well as their relatives. The media is also present to capture the event.

Everyone was surprised to see Kim Tan with Eun Sang and the Chairman was shocked that Eun Sang even came with him. Since the reporters are watching and many eyes are there, the three of them talked in private.
There, Kim Tan expressed that he wanted to brag about Eun Sang to the world. The Chairman was in very mad at them and told them that they are crazy and eventually told them that they will regret what they did later and left. Eun sang was confused if that statement was an approval or a threat and Kim Tan said that it was an approval that can turn into a threat anytime.

Summary of Episode 18 The Heirs

Denial and acceptance is evident in our leads. When they saw each other outside the dreamcatcher shop, they just ignored each other. Then Kim Tan tuned around and ended up following Eun Sang to the province. Through she knew that Kim Tan is behind her, she never once looked back until she arrived at her house and closed the door. The moment she closed the door, it was her turn to chase after him. Thinking that he already left, she went back and there she found him but then she chased him away.

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 17 Summary

Episode 17 of The Heirs Summary. I'll keep it short, promise. :b

This is one heartbreaking episode. You get the see the person that you love yet you cannot get close to them because it will ruin thier life.

The search for Eun Sang is on. Chan Young is not helping because for him it was Tan who made her disappear like that. Yong Do and Tan is looking for her in different ways. Tan asked Hyo Shin for help while Young Do, used a different approach in finding her. They figured out that she did not leave Korea and will search locally.

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 15 Recap + Some Review (Partial)

I know this is quite a late post and I even skipped an episode. But hey, things happen for a reason. Forgive me or hate me if you must, but here goes Episode 15 of The Heirs.

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!!

It starts with a kiss on the forehead at the party of Yoon Chan and Bo Na.

Young Do talked to Rachel and told her that it will be the last time she can humiliate Eun Sang. Hyo Shin came and it seems that he did not take the college entrance exam.

At the mansion, Madame Han and Eun Sang's mother try to open the safe of the chairman. There she found photos of Tan and Eun Sang while they were in America. There was one photo that shocked her, too bad it wasn't shown. What could it be? hmmmm

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 13 Summary and Review

I know this is a late post but what the heck, just like the old saying goes"Better late than never."

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!

Episode 13 is where Cha Eun Sang finally gave in. The episode starts where they were staring at each other outside Eun Sang's part time. Kim Tan asked if the promise Eun Sang made while they were in America still valid (she would run away with him when he is in trouble). She did not answer but instead hugged him.  See, I was right that she would give in any moment.

The scene changed to Rachel and her mother talking. Rachel is told to not break up with him yet and wait

The Heirs: Episode 12 Recap and Review

Episode 12 of The Heirs aired on November 14, 2013 at 21:55 in Seoul

So far, this is my favorite episode because a lot has been revealed. There is no secret or lie that can be kept forever. Sooner or later the truth will be known and this was the episode that reveals everything.

It started at the intersection where Eun Sang had to let go of Tan's hand and choose to give up. Young Do had to act as the bad guy by telling her not to hold onto him.

Young do also figured out that Eun Sang is a daughter of Tan's housemaid who has a speech

The Heirs Episode 11 Summary and Review

Episode 11 of the Heirs aired on November 13, 2013 21:55 in Seoul

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT

Omo, Cha Eun Sang is now in between Kim Tan and Young Do. Finally she realized that, she really likes Kim Tan but then again she cannot stay in that dream for long and had to wake up to reality. This is where Young Do had to come in to remind her of that. Too bad, he had to let Eun Sang fall to the pool and Kim Tan had to push him, so Young Do fell as well.

Is it just me or does Kim Woo Bin really looks good on the pool scene. He has this scary look on his face but on that particular part of the episode where he got his hair wet, he definitely has a tamed look. Changed my view on him being the bad one.

This episode discusses more about the relationship of Kim Tan and Young Do. Young Do realized that he lost his friend and mother way back when they were still young because of his impulsive decisions. Somehow, there is regret in his face but then again, he just has to act cool in front of

Help the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) 2013

This blog is supposed to be a happy blog, hence the name AllAboutHappyEndings, However, I cannot help but post about the recent devastation that the Super Typhoon Haiyan, aka Yolanda in the Philippines, brought about to many of the provinces in the Philippines, particularly in the Visayas region. It has been five days since the typhoon hit the country (11/8/13) but until now dead bodies found laying on the streets of Tacloban and Leyte are the headlines of every news. The whole city of Tacloban and Leyte is totally wiped out by the flood and the wind brought by the storm. The least we can do to the victims is to pray that they remain strong and to never loose thier faith in God.

On a lighter note, people from all over the country and the world are extending their support and help in the affected areas. With this, we learn to share and reach out to those who are in need of our help. Celebrities and TV Personalities from all over the world are even extending help and doing their share in spreading the word about this devastating crisis that the Philippines is going through.

Here are several ways to offer our donation to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (I am, in no way affiliated or associated with the following organizations, I only posted the link of thier website where you can also help) This is the least I could do for the victims of Haiyan.  
 
World Food Programme  Their website is set to let their visitors see the donate button right away. If you wish to donate any amount, simply click on the donate button. Website is at http://wfpusa.org/

The Philippine Red Cross  is one of the first groups to arrive in the provinces and they currently need a lot of supplies, doctors and staff to attend to the victims. Your donation will be used to get necessary medical equipments and medicines for the victims. Go to redcross.org.ph to donate directly to the Philippine Red Cross.

Those who are in the Philippines and has a BPI account which is enrolled for online banking, you can also send your donations to the ABS-CBN account. It can be found on the BPI website. Currently, the site is down, it may be because of the traffic.

MSNBC has an article where you can find a list of websites where you can donate. Go to msnbc.com

Below are screenshots of personalities who have extended thier sympathies and support and of course one of them is Lee Min Ho (though, I believe the page is made by a fan, but still thanks for the effort).

A Post from Michelle Phan's Facebook Page. She is a make up guru who owns Em Cosmetics based in New York. Though she has a very busy schedule, she still post about helping the victims. The MSNBC link is actually from her. Thank you!

I am also posting this to my other blog though I know that it has no visitors yet but just in case. :) Link to my other blog here.

I cannot express my gratitude to those who already helped. I am a Filipino and it really breaks my heart seeing my fellow countrymen having to experience this. There are more donation drives being conducted in every corners of the globe and we hope that the victims get the help they need. Bangon Visayas! Kaya natin to!

Upcoming Korean Drama: Pretty Boy 11/20/13

It's all over the Internet now that Pretty boy, starring Jang Geun Suk and IU, will air in November 20, 2013.  I think everybody is all caught up of Lee Min Ho's The Heirs Drama right now. With that said, this will be a challenge for Sukkie, since Lee Min Ho has currently captured the hearts of many. One other thing is, both dramas air every Wednesday and Thursday at the same timeslot in Seoul. Isn't that a coincidence? Maybe more like a conspiracy to me. Hmmmm Fans of Lee Min Ho and Jang Geun Suk residing in Korea would be switching networks from time to time. I'd do that, or better yet have two televisions, one tuned in to SBS (The Heirs) and the other to KBS2 (Pretty Boy). Good thing, I am not in Korea, i'd go crazy if I am there. LOL Unfortunately for me, I have to wait for a day to see the subbed version. I can go for the raw but its the same, I have to wait for a day. If there is a live broadcast of Seoul's TV networks I'd use that but then again my connection is very slow so if the streaming would go through, there would be a lag or a lot of pauses in between. Might as well wait for a day to get a smooth video playback.

Going back to Pretty Boy, Jang Geun Suk is really pretty. I think he is even prettier than IU, if he was made into a girl. LOL The story is about the most beautiful man in the world (of course, Jang Geun Suk) who wants to use his pretty face to make a lot of money. He then is tasked to make 10 women fall in love with him and this is where he met an ordinary girl of poor background who has a long crush on him.

The Heirs - The One Who Wants To Wear The Crown, Bear The Crown



I've been waiting for this drama since the start of the year and now its already broadcasting!

I have been looking forward to this drama simply because of the presence of Lee Min Ho. I am also curious as to how this will turn out because of Park Shin Hye.

Korean Drama: Boys Over Flowers (2009)

Geum Jan Di (Goo Hye-Sun) is a poor but strong girl who does just about anything to live. Because of her strong attitude, she got admitted to an exclusive school where only the rich an afford. She did not have any friends and often gets bullied by the rich kids. She met the princes of the school, the F4, composed of  Goo Jun-pyo (Lee Min-ho), Yoon Ji-hoo (Kim Hyun-joong), So Yi-jung (Kim Bum), and Song Woo-bin (Kim Joon). Their first meeting was not a very pleasant one. They started out as enemies and eventually they liked Jan Di for her strong will and attitude which made Jun-Pyo fall for her. As the story progressed, a love triangle sparks between Jan Di, Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo.Thier adventure as friends and the challenges that they have to overcome is what the story is all about. (see wiki)

This drama is an adaptation of the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango. It is the fifth adaptation of the said manga, Meteor Garden (Taiwanese drama) being the first adaptation. This was the series that made Lee Min Ho rise up. I watched this only after I watched his other drama, Personal Taste. I thought that the story would be the same with Meteor Garden (I watched this from start to end and even skipped school just to watch the drama LOL), which was actually true but there was something on this drama that distinguishes it from Meteor Garden and that is Lee Min Ho himself. The story may seem like just another teeny bopper drama but it the cast played it right to the point that it levels up to other successful drama's such as Winter Sonata.

Cast : Kim Bum, Kim Hyun-Joong, Koo Hye Sun, Kim Joon, Lee Min Ho

Upcoming drama of Jang Geun Suk and Lee Min Ho

I know I promised to write about reviews on the dramas and movies I have listed before but I'm trying to find sources of the drama before I can make the reviews. **Sounds to me like an alibi nyahaha** Sort of... I'll work on it soon, Promise! Yaksoka ^_^

This will be just a short update on the upcoming projects of Jang Geun Suk and Lee Min Ho.

 October is the air date of The Heirs which stars Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye. I thought it will be in August but too bad I have to wait for another 2 or 3 months more. I can't wait. Filming is already in progress and updates are always posted in Facebook. Addikness. LOL

As for Jang Geun Suk, after a Love Rain, which according to him has "burned him", he is coming back with "Pretty Boy".  It is based on a manhwa (just like the Japanese manga) of the same title. I have read a lot of negative comments about the title only. "Why is the title like that?" "Why can it not be something else?" Yes, the title is a little awkward and somehow stupid but what can we do about it, the tittle says it all. Plus, it actually fits Jang Guen Suk himself. :b According to AllKpop.net it will be aired later this year, hopefully. I will be looking forward to it.

Now the big problem is, where will I watch the drama since dramacrazy.net is no longer existing? I have to figure this out before October comes. Hopefully, The websites I recently found would have these dramas, if not Youtube, please don't disappoint me. ^_^ Till then!
