korean drama's moral

After the drama "You're Beautiful", I've kinda stopped watching dramas.ONLINE.

However, there's one drama I watch on TV, staring Jang Geun Suk too! EHEHE. It's called Hwang Jini. This is a story bout a famous Gisaeng, or I think Geisha in Japanese.

Jang Geun Suk really look very very young here. Ok. I'm watching this because of him, but then, there's something I learned from Korean dramas.

Mostly, the main characters are strong and has very strong determination.

Like Hwang Jini in Hwang Jini
Jang Saebyuk or Kim Saebyuk in You're my Destiny.
Go MiNam/Go Minyu in You're Beautiful.

They do, I mean, they determined to do something and must achieve it in the end. I really admire it.
I know this is only in dramas, but I think this is in human.
Anything can be achieve if we're determined. I believe so.

Drama just not drama, I also believe that every show or drama which is shown, should have their own moral and message behind.

I should apply it in my life and my work. Strong determination to do things and achieve it!!

Korean Blog

Now I've found another blog which talks bout Korea. Not the country itself, but everything, well, almost everything.

Food, Entertainment, Culture and for me, most important is the language itself.

I can learn Korean language and everything from HERE.

I'm lovin' it.

When I'm really really free, then I'll learn.

Must start with my assignments now. ^^

I'm still thinkin bout "You're Beautiful"

Learn Korean Through Lyrics

Now I've found another site, learning Korean through Lyrics.


It'll be another favorite site for me. ^^

Finally, done...

Oh yes, a half relieve and half heavy heart.
I've finally watched all the episodes of "You're Beautiful" It's only 16 episodes, yes kinda short, but each episodes is almost one and a half hour. I even watch it til like 5 am. Oh yes.
So, I didn't do my assignments. BAD BAD **

This drama is really good. I really love it. I cried and laugh. Few last episodes were quite sad, and touching. I cried and now I had heavy puff eyes. HEHE.

Love the songs they sang. It's really nice. I even purposely downloaded it. Few songs. Now, I wan to download all the soundtracks and get the lyrics to sing along. I know its in Korean, but hell yeah, learn Korean from songs and lyrics.

The lead actor and actress can sing, Jang Geun Suk (Hwang TaeKyung) and Park Shin Hye (Go MiNam/Go MiNyu). Then Lee Hong Ki who played Jeremy actually from a Kpop Band, FT Island. He's such a good actor. I didn't know Kim Dong Wook who played Shin Woo can sing too. All of them can sing. However, I love Jang Geun Suk's voice. I really fell for him, by his voice. He's pretty cool and good looking, but different from Kim Jae Joong of course. ^^

Love the songs, my favorites, "Without Words", "Promise", "Still/As Ever". Got the lyrics, sing along everyday. HEHE. Other's still loving it.

I've been searching for it, and now I've found one site, a blog, AliceChen. This girl (I guess is a she), she manage to get all the soundtracks, and can be download. OMG. This is awesome. I'm downloading it now. WOOHOO!! This is her link for "You're Beautiful" OST.

Her blog, is full of OST of other dramas from Korea and Hong Kong, TVB. I just found that she even has "You're Beautiful" downloads. I'm so gonna watch. AWESOME!!

I'm feeling lucky and happy. Next, find for lyrics. WOOHOO!!

Now, the drama has finished, I kinda feel empty. I know I must do my work, but after this drama, I really feel empty. I miss them now. I'm sooo gonna watch again after I'm done.

Now, must stop with one drama, "You're my destiny" HEHE, not as addictive and tempting as "You're Beautiful"


As you can see, the lead actress is actually from famous girl group in Korea, Girl's Generation. She's YoonA. Love her. She's my favorite among the girls. Pretty and natural. Love Love.

Happy Happy ^^

Now Sing Along.

You're Beautiful

I know, I know, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
Even those not really good looking actually is beautiful.
I always think, no matter what, a person has their own beauty, inside, outside.
However, this is not the topic I wanna talk about now.

It's actually the Korean Drama ;D It's called "You're Beautiful".
I heard a lot of people's comments on this and keep asking me whether I've watch it or not. I tried on Mysoju, then I love it. *thank you Meredy Fishball* oh, and another person who introduced this drama, my junior, LEE LEE.
I'm so in love with this drama right now.

It's like the combination of "Hana Kimi" with "Boys Over Flowers"
I thought it was ordinary drama, well, I fell in love on the 1st episode and it's soooo tempting. Everyday I'm watching it on youtube.
I'm crazy over this drama till I look for their soundtracks, downloaded it and look for the lyrics.
I love few songs in it. Well, it was sang by them. Really them. Singers, themselves, thats why.

I was finding for their lyrics pretty hard, I even translated the Korean words into Romanji like 'pin yin' for mandarin. Well, thanks to an article on 'how to read Hangeul' and listen to the song itself. I'm pretty proud, I can recognized some of the Hangeul words. Still more to learn though.

The main Poster of this drama.

Few of the casts.


The main characters of A.N.JELL, the group in this drama.

Love it, love it.
I really recommend it to those who love Korean dramas and MEREDY!! watch it!
It's funny and really nice and addictive!
I cried and I laugh. Emotion very strong. HEHE

I must finish it soon then I can do my work.
I'm already distracted. HEEHE

Korean Dramas

There're many Korean dramas I watched before I know bout KBS World Channel in Astro. Mostly on TV channels with Mandarin dubbed. Winter Sonata (honestly, it was one of the most popular drama which I NEVER watch before), Autumn in my heart, one of the touching drama.

Dae Jang Gum, I can't remember what's the English title. This is one of the first korean drama which my family watched together. It was a good drama, and worth family watching.
Then many more like Full House, Summer Scent and many more. Can't remember.

Then start from last year, You're my destiny, one of the 1st korean drama in Korean I started to watch, when my brother started to watch it too (YES! I'm blaming everything on him HAHAHA) It's 178 episodes, 35+ minutes per episode. I still watch now, online streaming. I kinda repeated it cause watched half way on TV, don't know what happened in the beginning. So now, thanks to Mysoju and PPStream, I've got to watch all.

Then, Boys over flowers. Korean F4. It's funny and very entertaining. Even my parents watched.
Then, The Sons of Sol Pharmacy House, My Fair Lady and many more in KBS World. IRIS, Queen Returns.

TVXQ!'s Yunho also was in his sole drama, Heading to the Ground. Beginning, he's acting sucks, Seriously, honestly. BUT, slowly, his acting skills improved. Wait, not slowly, in 16 episodes, can see his acting skills got better every single episodes. Good job!

Then, now watch You're Beautiful. This is like another Boys over Flowers and Hana Kimi. It's funny, tempting and addictive to watch. It's a good drama, very entertaining too. I'm into this drama these days. *there goes my assignments* I even download the soundtracks for this drama. Didn't know the lead singer could sing. He was in Beethoven Virus too. He's kinda good looking. He looks cool, more cool than in Beethoven Virus. His voice reminds me of Amy, my senior. Slightly like his. He can sing!

Ok, continue ma drama.

Chit chat with Beautiful Ladies; Hot Issues.

I was watching this Korean variety show on KBS World, in Astro. It's called "Chit Chat with Beautiful Ladies."

Basically, from the title itself, beautiful ladies here are actually from over the world. Italian, Canadian, Taiwanese, Japanese, Ethiopian, Kenyan, French, Thai, Germans, Columbian. There was a Malaysian too, Sophia, but she came back to Malaysia d.

Well, today's guests were girls from different uni or colleges in Korea, 3 guys from Super Junior; Shindong, Eunhyuk, Leeteuk and Ex Shinhwa, er I can't remember his name. Oh ya, I saw a transvestite, a Korean he/she was there too. TALL.

In this show, everyone got to like discuss about what they're curious about, everyday life and social stuff.

Today's topic pretty cool.

They ask bout is it ok to have shorter boyfriends and what bout comes to husband?
Some are ok with it but most of them don't really comfortable with it. One of the Korean girl actually said its ok if the guy had shoe pad or shoelifts to make him look taller. As I know, most of the Korean Male celebrity who aren't that tall, they had pads in their shoe, and thicker heel soles to make them look taller. Some said, it's pretty ugly, when the guy is actually shorter than the girl.

Then another question is getting marry without the feeling of love. Some was ok with it. Mostly, Anneyo, means NO.

Few of the Korean Girls were ok with it because they thought of the future. A guy who can support the family as well as himself. Some said we need the feelings carry on the marriage to have happiness. Without love, there's no happiness. Some opposed it and said, if there's love, but no money, how to be happy? Then there's a debate on it. Pretty hot issue. It's subjective depending on a person's perception and expectation.

Then, another question is, Must the guys pay for dates all the time? Most said yes, some disagree. Well, I personally disagree like 70%. Leeteuk prefer to pay for all the dates. One of the Korean Girl said she prefer where the man pays on the 1st date, but after that, its ok for the ladies to pay themselves. As for me, well, my previous relationship, my ex partner and I kinda like mutual agreement where we pay alternatively, but in the end he paid more. From there I learned that, depends on the person. I mean, if both aren't doing that well, share it, both take turns to pay. Women are capable too. In this show, Leeteuk said something offended to the foreign ladies, where he said, he prefer man pays for all. its's like more a gentleman where as woman are weak, born physically weak, need guys to protect. Then, the girls kinda offended, "HELLO, we're not weak" HAHA.

He thought it was cool, but in the end got bang back. LOL. It was hilarious. He just kept quiet then, and sit shyly. Well I agree, we're human, we might be weak physically, but we're strong in other sense. There're some things which make women different from men but some things are the same. We can make same amount of money IF we want to. YES, IF we want too. Some woman are dependent to their own partners, some prefer to be independent, but well of course, guys have their own ego. Of course they need to earn more then ladies :) EGO issue again.
Oh ya, one of the Korean girl said, they "invested" on themselves to look good for the date (as if they're like a doll to be brought out for date) the guy should pay for the date. WAH. this issue is sensitive. Well, not much comment but its different people's perception. Freedom of thoughts and speech.

OK next issue.

I maybe skip some of the issue, I shall write those I remember.

One of it was bout going to all girl school. This is a surprise for me, in UK and Germany, its ILLEGAL!!! No one can allow to ALL GIRL or GUY schools. Must be Coed. WOW. The English and German ladies were shocked to see it in Korea. Well, we have it in Malaysia too. Then, the Korean replied that it depends on their capability and grades. Well known girl school and has good rank, there's where the girls will go. It's how well the school is. As for US, Bianca (she's on of the few foreign ladies I could remember) said that there're few in US, but because of unpopular, it became a coed school. Leeteuk even said, before his debut, he was looking for part time job and preferably nearby all girls school. What I was shocked that girls from all girls school tend to have dates including blind dates more. One of the Korean girl said she had 36 dates. I was like WOW!

All guys school in MALAYSIA is SAKAI. Honestly, some guys, I mentioned SOME! guys are really sakai, as if they haven't seen girls in their whole life. Whistling, screaming out names. REALLY SAKAI! My dear form 6 friends knew this. I was like, its normal, because I came from coed school from kindergarten til now.

Next issue.

Make Up and Dressing up.
Girls wear make ups and dressing up to College or Unis. YES! Christina from Italy asked the Koreans bout this. YES, Korean girls wear make ups and dressed up for school. I don't. Sometimes, rarely, on occasion if I have plans after college if I don't go home. Most of the time I don't. Christina wanna learn. Most of the foreigners were impressed with the Koreans because they do it beautifully and fast. Japanese and English ladies tends to go for colors where Koreans and other ladies tends to go for natural make up, I prefer natural make up. I notice one thing EYE LINER is a must. EVERYONE must have eye liner on. Japanese girl said, if in Japan, they don't do natural make ups, they have thicker and more colorful make up because, they will ask, as if u just wake up if u have natural make ups. LOL. Korean girls said, its like an impression in college or uni, studying and guys. Never miss out the GUYS! Christina said, she was lecturing in a uni, when the students came in without make up, while she was writing and reading, she looked up to the students, she was shocked. Those students then changed to different person. HAHA.
One of the Taiwanese said, not only they transform themselves but they transform her too! She said, her roommates don't let her go out without make up. They said, that eye bag wont do, and do make up on her. HAHA.

Then bout Korean girls have luxury bags to college and uni. WOW. That rich ar? Where do they get them? Christina asked this too, she said, Italian ladies has it but not as many as Koreans. Most westerners has backpack but not for Korean girls. Why? According to them, it makes them looks like they're going for a hike or somewhere else. Korean girls said, sometimes they share it with their mom. Not all owns it. Some parents bought for them as a present for entering college. WAH. Like that also got ar? Most received it as a gift. They rather have the luxury brands other than those cheap ones which looks like the luxury brand. It does last longer and the material is better. I am agreeing partially that its true the original luxury brand has better material and tends to last longer but, the trend don't last. After the trend past, buy another one? WAH! BROKE! Unless its everlasting trend.

Then the Canadian girl said, its not really a necessity. She pitied those parents who paid for their tuition fees, they mean school fees, paid for their allowance and then buy luxury bags for them. It made me realize. then comes to issue of parents paying for school fees. Most of the Korean does but not the foreign ones. It's because, the foreign ones do part time jobs and pay for themselves. Well, one of the Korean girl actually said, her dad was angry because she did part time job. Her dad paid her expenses and expect her to study instead of working. So she did stop working and work hard on studies. She said, she did it to get scholarships and after that to get better jobs then can repay back to their parents. The best part is she never miss any scholarships. As in like every year she got it. Asian thinking. Good and Bad at the same time. Then, the Canadian one said, working while studying is actually part of experience. Life experience and working experience. Apply for a proper job later on will ease easily, at least I think. I agree to this too. I agree to both but both can be worked out.

I can't remember what else.
This is super long post.

Here is the part of the show. Cut.

Keurom. Annyeong!
TATAs.
Crazy over Korean stuff now.
Food, TVXQ!, clothes, dramas, variety shows.
