Semi-holiday.

Yes exam has finally over yesterday! Fyi we only have one final exam per block; it was quite nice because you can get everything finished at one time but the preparation is just hellish. The material is all what we have learnt in one block. Now Im having a few days holiday and ofc it is nice xD there's a rumor saying TVXQ will have Asia Tour next year and this makes me super excited! I've seen JYJ a month ago and I need to see Homin to make it complete. Im pretty surprised that Im still here waiting for them to come back together even though 5 years have passed. Sometimes I keep wondering why should I wait for them this long? I cant find a reason why I should stop and even though this is very tiring, Im happy with my choice. #alwayskeepthefaith

xxrandomxx

Life's been good lately even though block exam is coming next week. The material is still abstract in my brain but Im trying to absorb as much as possible. I also realise lately I didnt blog that often anymore. Writing has become my passion and blogging is one of my way to explore more of it. Currently not following any drama, I think dramas in this period are not my style hence I just read the recaps from the blogs I usually follow. JYJ Asia Tour has ended a few days ago and the last stop was Bangkok. Im happy because I had the chance to meet them and see them singing live before they enter military service next year. Still I have never met Homin and that is one of my resolution as well. But rumors surfacing in some sns saying they will have an Asia tour next year. Actually I want to go to one of their 5 dome tours in Japan; too bad it is in the middle of the academic year. If they are really planning for an Asia Tour, Im going to come this time. Fingercrossed! xx

Movie review: 君に届け (Kimi ni todoke)

Maybe this is the second or third Jmovies I've watched because I never follow updates about the latest one. I was bored and randomly found this one in the popular movie list. Translated as From Me To You, this one is also an adaptation of the same name manga. If you've ever watched Jmovies or doramas, you will probably know that their style is more into teaching morals not only lovey dovey scene. Even their romance movies are not as lovable as Koreans but still I like their style. The same goes to this one. It's a romance movie but I didnt put my expectation as high as I watch Korean one. The story tells about a girl named Sawako Kuronuma, an honest and kind girl who have no friends. Her friends called her "Sadako" because of her similar appearance to the ghost in movie "The Ring". Everybody is afraid of her; there's a rumor said that when somebody looks into her eyes, they will get cursed. I feel pity for her at first, but her appearance is somehow scary with long hair and always looking down. Her world starts to change when a popular boy in the school, Shota Kazehaya, befriends with her. Mostly the movie tells about how she changes her personality from an introvert to the bright one. The self changing journey is really amazing because we all know it's not easy. I cry a few times when watching it especially when her friends defend her while she was being attacked by other girls inside the toilet. I cant say much about this drama; it's good to be one of your reference if you like heartwarming movie.

Drama review: 괜찮아 사랑이야 (It's Okay It's Love)

It's the last episode yesterday and this morning I directly watched it. Some people refer to this drama as It's Okay That's Love. It is too good to be true! I admit at first this wasnt at my drama list, mostly because I saw the promotional poster and I felt both main leads didnt have the chemistry at all. There's also another poster with them sleeping in a bathtub. Not only me who thought this way, but also most of the netizens. Gong Hyo Jin and Jo In Sung are both my favorite actor and actress, but their chemistry are more into bestfriend type. But yeah they have proved that Im wrong; I totally love this drama! The actors portray themselves really well and this GongJo couple's chemistry is just incredible. They dont make like they are acting; they just let it flow naturally and you will find that you really enjoy it. Jo In Sung is Jang Jae Yeol, a bestselling author with emotional childhood scar and Gong Hyo Jin is Ji Hae Soo, a psychiatrist who is not affectionate. He has the face of player; handsome and charming. He met Haesoo accidentally and both are not fond of each other since the first time they met. Jaeyeol has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and a sleeping disorder where he can only sleep in the bathtub. One day Jaeyeol moves to a house where surprisingly Haesoo also lives there with a fellow sunbae Joo Dong Min and Park Soo Kwang, a guy with Tourette Syndrome. How they can be dating is also very awkward because they start dating not after falling in love with each other but before it. I find it weird since typically kdrama couples always start dating after they fall in love. There are also Jaeyeol's older brother, Jaebum, who has been in jail for 14 years because of murdering his stepdad and Han Kangwoo, played by EXO D.O., a boy who will take an important part till the end of the story. The twist will come afterwards where Jaeyeol's childhood emotional scars had actually made him developed a mental disorder (not only OCD). I like this drama not only because Im interested in psychiatry, but also because the premise is unique and they dont make the story easily guessed by the audience. Following the episodes you can feel that GongJo has irresistable chemistry making everybody loves them. Not to mention they had a lot of kisses and hugs in this drama. I thought they kissed more than 10 times. I would like to give a little spoiler here but this will reduce the interest in the story so I decide not to tell you guys xD This is indeed one of my favorite drama this year where actually I have watched Angel Eyes and Joseon Gunman till half of the whole episodes but I didnt manage to finish it because I felt they were too boring and draggy after the mid parts. Some kdramas are just ended that way; it was awesome from the beginning till half way but then they change the storyline to what I think is the dumbest one and I stop watching right away. I know everybody has their own preference in kdrama genres but you can start watching this one first and then decide whether you want to continue watching it. Very recommended and happy watching!

Synopsis:
 Jang Jae-yeol is a writer of bestselling mystery novels and a radio DJ. Playful and a bit arrogant, he also suffers from obsessive–compulsive disorder. Ji Hae-soo is a psychiatrist on her first year of fellowship. Driven and ambitious with her career yet compassionate towards her patients, Hae-soo has a negative attitude towards love and relationships in her personal life. Once Jae-yeol and Hae-soo meet, there is much contention between them caused by their strong personalities and refusal to give in to each other. But slowly their bickering turns into love and they begin to learn how compatible they are. Jae-yeol and Hae-soo attempt to heal each other's deep-seated wounds, but their fledgling relationship takes a blow when they learn that Jae-yeol's mental health issues are more serious than they initially suspected.

Park Yoochun. Dreams come true.

Hello peeps! This month has been a great one for me especially last Saturday because it was the day when my dreams finally came true. As you might have known, I've like TVXQ for years and even though they have splitted now, I still support five of them. So last Saturday I finally got to watch JYJ singing live !! I cant describe how happy I was when my father allowed me to go and on the D-day I was so so so excited. I also happened to listen to them singing during rehearsal since the venue was beside the female toilet and lots of the fans were standing there too. My bias from 7 years ago was Yoochun and has always been him ever since. The concert itself was awesome; even if I wasnt their fans I'd say the same things. Seeing them singing live was as good as listening to their recording songs. The set list was almost the same as the one they sang in Seoul concert, though one or two songs were missed out. I was really freak out when they came out to the stage that I lost my voice the next day. 16 August 2014 will always be my most memorable day ever.
PS: excuse the blur pics. I took those using my phone cam.

My bias !!!

Movie Review: 愛情無全順 (Campus Confidential)

the first post in August dedicated to this movie I watched in a long flight on my vacation. I've been searching for this a long time ago and good to know that they had this movie in flight. The title in Mandarin is "Ai Qing Wu Quan Shun" which is literally translated as "Romance Wu Quan Shun". The leading man is Chen Bo Lin who is one of my favorite taiwanese actors and starring as his lover is Ivy Chen. These two Chen have worked together several times before so Im looking forward to watch this. Story starts with Chen Bo Lin as Wu Quan Shun, a nerd in campus who is very genius; he can provide unlimited internet quota for the game freak in campus, hack some private internet websites, etc. Ivy as Liang Xiao Qi is the it-girl in campus that every man wants and every woman envies. She really hates the nerds. Her bestfriend is also another it-girl who just happened to fall in love with another nerd. She tries to convince her that it's wrong and makes her embarrassed but her friend says even though her bf is a nerd, he is kind and loves her sincerely. One day they accidentally fall together to a lake in their campus (I forgot the name) which is a legendary lake. People said if a man and woman fall together into the lake when it suddenly dried, they will be a couple forever. At first she didnt want to believe the story but then she searchs for the news happened in the past with the help of her new roommate. She meets with couples who have the same situation as her. At that time, she also starts to be friend with Quan Shun since he helped and protected her when she was being dumped by her bf. As time flies, she realises that actually the nerds arent that bad as what she thought before. Find a way to break the curse, she goes to China to find the ancient things which was said to be the curse breaker. There's a twist close to the ending which surprise me because it's something I've never thought before. Initially I thought this would be like other romance movies I've ever watched since you already knew mostly romance genre has the same formula. As usual Chen Bo Lin never disappoint me and he did reach my expectation. He is perfectly matched in this movie; he succeeded in portraying a nerd which is totally nerdy. As for Ivy Chen, I never watched any of her works and in this movie she's just a soso for me. I like this movie even I cant say this is one of the best I've ever watched. Put this on your list if you like romance movie.

Drama review: 杉杉來了 (Boss & Me)

(alert: this is going to be a long one lol)

Another great cdrama! I found this drama when it was about to premiere 2 weeks ago; I thought it will be 2-3months till the last episode. I didnt know that cdrama usually aired their drama 3 episodes per day so it has finished not long ago. Because of its 33 episodes, I did a marathon and managed to finish it in 4 days! This one is so far my best cdrama since in the past I admitted it was Sheng Xia Wan Qing Tian. If the title is literally translated, it will mean "Shan Shan Has Come". It starred Hans Zhang as Feng Teng and Zhao Li Ying as Xue Shan Shan. The story tells about Xue Shan Shan (XSS) who comes from a small city working in Feng Teng's (FT) big company in Shanghai. In this case, he is the white-horse prince; he has the look, brain, wealth, everything. XSS lives her life happily and positively. Her blood is AB Rh (-) which is rare and at that time FT's sister Feng Yue (FY)who has the same blood group with her needs blood transfer at the moment because she has just given birth. This is what connects them. To thank her, FY makes her bento (idk how to explain that; it's something similar) and that makes her colleagues jealous since she's just an ordinary worker in the company. Later because she cant stand the look everybody gives her when she ate the bento, she went to a place where nobody can see her but apparently it was in front of FT's office. She cant see him because they are separated by a glass covered with gorden. XSS likes eating so much and she has a big appetite; everyday she came to that place and FT feels like there's somebody accompany him eating without realising it has become his habit to have her accompanied him.The story will then tell about how they manage to start the relationship despite the big difference between them. I really like this drama either its casts or storyline. The main leads are XSS and FT but FY and her husband and also Yuan Li Shu and Zheng Qi did amazed me. FY is the cupid in this relationship. Li Shu is FY's best friend and her crush was FT since 12 years ago. Zheng Qi is FT's best friend since college and he helps him in the company by becoming his righthand man. She grew up together with FT and Zheng Qi not realising it was Zheng Qi who loved her so much. The problem in this story mainly about XSS' inferiority complex being together with FT. Actually FT is a lonely guy hence when XSS comes, her bright personality brigthens his days. Maybe some of you familiar with Hans Zhang; he acted in Meteor Garden chinese version. Hans and Zhao Li Ying also make a great couple with great chemistry. I always like a character which is cold and clever like FT and Hans really rocks it. The best part of this drama is they didnt do voice dubbing yeay !!! As you already knew, most cdramas are being dubbed because their pronounciation is quite difficult to understand. Too bad I havent found the one with English sub so if you want to watch this series, it's recommended that you understand Mandarin well. Other reasons why I love this drama are because there's no a totally antagonist type who sometimes pissed me off and it's also focused in XSS's eating habit. The fashion is also good especially FT's long coat !! This drama is my highly recommended one (as usual) and provides lots of eyecandy lol One of my best cdrama list ^~^

I love this job even though Im not being paid because it's about my passion.
