I know that the movie has been out earlier in 2013 and have watched it before, but my friend just watched it the other day and it reminded me watch it again and then write about it.  Watching it the second time still made me cry and it was even weirder because I watched it during the day in my workstation at home where people can see me. HA! Good thing my peers at home are busy in the kitchen. Although, I tried not to cry, tears just kept falling and my eyes were swollen after the whole movie

Korean Drama: 3 Days / Three Days 2014

We are now entering into a new week for the drama land in SBS TV network.  This means a new drama for us to watch and enjoy.

3 Days, starring Park Yoo Chun, is the new action drama on SBS Wednesday-Thursday slot. First episode was aired last night, March 5, 2014, and so far so good. Yoo Chun on the first episode. Drama and action is already there.

Choi Won-young as Kim Do-jin
Yoon Je-moon as Shin Kyu-jin, chief presidential secretary
Jang Hyun-sung as Ham Bong-su, chief of the Presidential Security Service

First episode is a blast. Although i want to see Yoo Chun smile, not even once did he smile in the whole first episode. Would this mean that there won't be any funny moment in this drama? How I love to see him laugh and smile. I hope it is not a very serious one. Missing You still had some funny scenes, this one I hope so too.

It's kind of difficult now since Kim Hyun Joong's Inspiring Generation is on KBS2 on the same timeslot. Although, I watch the dramas a day after it was aired, still it is becoming more difficult to see all these equally wonderful dramas in one day. I only have at most 2 hours in a day to watch dramas. huhu and every week the number of dramas I watch are increasing.. HELP! ^_^ So writing a summary of each drama episode is totally impossible for me now.. LOL 

Oh well, Enjoy!

Korean Drama: You Who Came From Another Star Episode 21 Finale

And so, we are in the stage where we have to say goodbye, at least for Do Min Joon and Cheon Song Yi.

This is one of the dramas that totally broke my heart. I'm crying I as I am writing this. AHHHH!!! It has long been part of my list of favorite dramas of all times and will always be one of the top favorites. The drama keeps you laughing every episode and also makes you cry as hard as you laughed. 

Well, just a brief summary. As expected, Do Min Joon really left. Although, Cheon Song Yi already know that he is leaving, but she was not expecting him to leave so soon. They were in the balcony wishing on the meteors. He was telling her what to do when he is gone (never wear clothes that expose too much skin since it is cold, no kiss or back hug scenes and no melodrama, she should not cry or be hurt alone while he is gone, and never to find which star he went to because he will be the one looking out for her everyday) and both were crying but Cheon Song Yi did not face him. She asked how she cannot do what he wants her to do. Do Min Joon did not answer back and when she turned, he was gone. saddest part of the drama ever!!! She was not able to say her farewell. 

Korean Drama: Bride of the Century 2014

I just discovered this drama. I am watching it because of Hong Ki. LOL  I haven't really had any previews or reviews on this new drama. I just saw this drama just uploaded in Gooddrama and when I saw it was Hong Ki, it immediately caught my attention. LOL

The Taeyang Corporation is the largest conglomerate in South Korea. The family that runs Taeyang has been under a curse for 100 years. The curse began when the first bride of the family's first son died. Under this situation, a love like fairy tale occurs while conspiracies run rampant. See AsianWiki

Drama: Bride of the Century (literal title)
Revised romanization: Baeknyeonui Shinboo
Hangul: 백년의 신부
Director: Yun Sang-Ho
Writer: Baek Young-Sook
Network: CSTV
Episodes: 20
Release Date: February 22 - April 27, 2014
Runtime: Saturdays & Sundays 20:00
Language: Korean
Country: South Korea

Cast
Yang Jin Sung as Na Doo Rim (25) / Jang Yi Kyung (25)
Lee Hong Ki as Choi Kang Joo (29)

The only drama I saw with Hong Ki on it is with You're beautiful. He was funny then. I did see him on the reality show We Got Married, where he was paired with Fuji Mina, a Japanese actress. He was also funny but a little cold towards Mina. But I was touched when he made a stage in the parking area his farewell performance to Mina. It was so sweet.

Going back to this drama, I see he dyed his hair black again. I am used to seeing him with blonde hair. He looks more handsome with black hair. He sings really well and I am guessing the drama's OST  will probably come from his band, FT Island and I know it's going to be a hit, for the OST alone. Let's see. ^_^

Korean Drama: You Who Came From Another Star (Anticipation)

 THe finale of SBS You Who Came From Another Star  is just 4 more days from now. I can't wait to see how it will end. What will happen to Doo Min Joon? Will he stay or will he go back to where he came from?

Earlier, I have written a post about how I see the end of this drama. See it here.  Things that actually happened are the following:

•  Jae Kyung's wife confessed to how he locked her up for 7 years.
• Jae Kyung will not die in Do Min Joon's hands but is setup by his own brother and arrested for all his crimes. 
• Lawyer Jang is safe from all that is happening. He is very supportive of Do Min Joon.
• Cheon Song Yi will be popular again. Since Jae Kyung is found guilty of the death of Han Yoo Ra, Cheon Sing Yi's name is cleared and Representative Ahn wants her back. This is more probably because of their disappearance while the crowd is watching them at the hospital.
