I frigging hated this drama! This is the first series I've watched that I wanted the leading lady and the secondary leading guy to be together. This was poorly written and I hated Da Feng.

Summary
The Yan family's company is worth NT$80,000. Grandpa Yan has dropped a bomb on the family, that whoever marries Xu Fu An will inherit the company. Xu Fu An is a country bumpkin living with her grandmother and brother. She is knowledgeable in medicine. Her grandmother's also a medicine woman and when she was young, she fell in love with Grandpa Yan, but grandpa Yan only used her for her medicine recipe and left her with a lie and thus created Bao Bao Company(I think that's the name). Grandpa Yan got sick and started feeling guilty and after learning of Fu An's grandma's death, vowed to protect her and her brother, thus he dropped the bomb on the family. Da Feng is cold and ruthless and only wants the NT$80,000 and hired some guys to go after Fu An and get rid of her. After some devine intervention (grandma you sure are mean) Xu Fu An and Pi Dan (her brother) went to live with they Yan family and thus starts this hateful drama.

Somebody shoot him )

The best part in this whole series came from Roy's character in episode 15



Roy learns whom his grandfather is (the rival of Bao Bao). They have an emotional scene at the hospital in which Dong Jie rips into him. At home he's looking at the picture and there is a date on it, behind the pic there's a note written, where he wishes her daughter a happy b-day. Han Dong Jie meets with him at Lucifer's Restaurant and tells him that his mother left him when he was little and he never knew when her b-day was, so he's happy to have found out and that today the two of them can celebrate her b-day (I cried). It's so touching.

The thing I hated the most (saw the last part of episode 17) they brought in a plain girl whose supposedly is going to be an intern and you see Han Dong Jie looking at her. That's the ending for him... a plain girl! Come on bring him someone whose also a gangster chick style and can match up to him, that suits him! UGH! OK this pissed me off so don't think of watching this series... ever!

Charlie's Bar was founded in 1941 by Charlie and Marie Brouns. It's a unique place unlike any other place. There are tons of memorabilia, autographed pics, dolls, old jackpot slots etc. etc. tons of really cool stuff.

Yesterday a few colleagues of mine went there for Happy Hour. It was fun and it's my kind of place. I took some pics! We drank and ate snack platters (to die for!!!) and we chatted about life in general and the slogan "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" has been transformed in "What happens in Charlie's Bar stays in Charlie's Bar" LOL!





Those are some pics. We've been informed that every 2 years they take down everything and clean them up.

OMG!!! The suspense is killing me! This is by far the best drama I've seen so far (#2 is now Fated to Love you). It has everything in it without being boring, predictable or same storyline as countless other dramas. It's just great ! I will use the short version of Tae-kyung's name and will use Kyung for him.

Spoilers will follow below

Episode 7 was really sweet and I cried and was so freaking funny! I was laughing like mad. The part I like best was when Kyung and Mi Nam were sitting near a tree looking at the stars and moon. The line goes something like this: Mi nam says that Kyung is the sun to her.

Go Mi Nam: "So I'm like the moon that's always sticking to the sun".
Kyung: "The stars all shine brightly, but the moon is the only thing I see". <- holy shit that just killed me.



Go Mi Nam says that if it's OK for her to like the star and Kyung tells her to ask the star since she's seeing it. Go Mi Nam is looking at him, while he's looking up at the star trying to find the one Go Mi Nam is talking about. That's just the sweetest scene ever!!! I also loved how Jeremy also got some "aww" moment.

In episode 7 Jeremy tells Go Mi Nam that it isn't a sin to love and that to love is a really great thing and lends him/her a book. This is just sweet, without knowing he totally told her that it's OK to love and that it's not a sin. Just loved this moment.

This is in episode 8. After Go Mi Nam sang her song, she left the studio crying and was comforted by Shin Woo. She later is sitting in the park and wants to be invisible, Jeremy pops up and tells him/her he can see her. They hang out the whole day and Jeremy let's Mi Nam ride his secret magic bus. He tells him/her they'll meet again in an hour and he says:

Jeremy: "Since it's all going back to normal in an hour, just for now let me like you". Aww man this is just killing me.



After that it gets cute again with Kyung and Mi Nam, they are shooting the video for her single and they have to act casually and they start throwing leaves at each other and Kyung tackles her and starts cackling like mad (so damn cute) and Go Mi Nam makes a pig nose (you have to watch the episodes to understand why :) )

Now is the sad part.

It's Kyung's B-day (he celebrates his B-day another day, but that day was the day he was born on) and his mom calls him to come meet her. Kyung acts all bratty saying "Oh now she wants to meet with me" but you can see that he's happy about it. Upon arrival he sees she's not alone. She's with producers and what not. You can see he's sad about it and he excuses himself. His mom follows him and is angry at his behavior. She says that she is planning on telling the media that he's her son and that it will help her (career). She wants him to remake that song for her, she wants that legacy. "Is that how much you loved him" and she says "yes". She says that by having him, she lost the love of her life. He angrily tells her that because of him, his world shattered as well. She angrily tells him:

Hwa Ran: "because I had you, I lost it all. You think it was terrible I abandoned you, but because of you, it was horrible for me to have lost him. Since it's your fault, help me keep that memory".

Holy shit that was so frigging horrible thing to say to your child!

At this moment he's all welled up and turns around and tells her:

Kyung: "f you want to take credit for giving birth to me, at least you should remember when that was".

She is all still and says: "was it today" and he just walks away.

Mi Nam heard and saw it all.

Inside Kyung can't stand the pain any longer and collapses against a wall and starts crying and I cry along with him. Mi Nam watches him and says:

Mi Nam: "Mother superior, in the dark my star is crying, what should I do?"

I will start with the crappiest one, I'm even thinking of dropping it.



Hanato Kobato is a girl whom needs to collect broken hearts in order for her wish to be fulfilled. This series is one of many of Clamp's. I really don't like this one. Kobato is really annoying and grates on my nerves. There is the lead guy who puts Kurogane to shame :) He's hot! I also like Loryogi (?), the stuffed dog. Kobato is from another planet (really, she is, I think) and is unacostumed to the human world and she screws up sometimes... that's the annoying part. I know it just started and maybe after a few more episodes, she will become less annoying... I am giving her one more chance.

This anime has 24 episodes.



Miracle Train is centered around a train that only appears to lost girls. If they are troubled by something, the train will appear and find a way to help the girls. On the train there are 6 train stations (6 good looking guys). I'm not sure about this one. I saw the first episode and I just don't know what to make of this... I think it's kinda pointless. The guy characters are hot!

This anime has 12 episodes.



Inuyasha returns after a 5 years hiatus and will continue where it left off and run until the end. So this time it's the last of Inuyasha (thank god! I can't stand Kikyo). One thing I have to say, I am sooooo pissed they killed Kagura. She died looking at Sesshoumaru... I'd like to die that way... Anyways it's really good so far.

This anime has 26 episodes.




Darker Than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini Follows two years after the first season left off. This time the story takes place in Russia and we see a different Hei. We are not sure why, but maybe the death of Yin... This is still so confusing, but damn this series is good. They start off by killing a lot of the contractors from the first season, I liked April, to be bad she died. I am so looking forward to more!

I am not sure, but they have written on ANN that it's 12 episodes?

Take care of the young lady - aka Lady Castle - aka My Fair Lady etc. etc. (They still can't make up their minds on the name).

Stars actress Yoon Eun Hye (Goong, First Shop of Coffee Prince) and Yoon Sang Hyun (Queen of Housewives). Although the drama came to an end a week ago, if you still haven't watched it, I suggest you do.



Kang Hye Na (Yoon Eun Hye) is a spoiled rich brat, whose grandfather owns one of the biggest companies in Korea. Seo Dong Chang (Yoon Sang Hyun) is a retired host, whose mother's death gave him a big debt. He's trying hard to pay the loan sharks. He meets Kang Hye Na when she rams her car in his truck, so ensues a dangerous cat & mouse play between the two, until Seo Dong Chan wins by becoming her personal buttler. They soon become very close and Seo Dong Chan helps her to become a strong person. She meets the love of her life, Lee Tae Yoon (Return of Iljimae actor Jung Il Woo), but she soon starts having feelings for Seo Dong Chan.

It's a cute drama, funny and I love Yoon Sang Hyun (he can sing! He's hot and is adorable when he smiles). Yoon Eun Hye is so pretty in this one, the dyed her hair red (o0).

I give it 8/10 ^^

You're Beautiful

Stars Jang Geun Suk (Baby & I, Beethoven Virus) and Park Shin Hye (Goong S) as members of an Idol Group called A.N. Jell (Angel anyone?)


From L-R; Jung Yong Hwa (Kang Shin Woo), Park Shin Hye (Go Mi Nam/Go Mi Nyu), Hjang Geun Suk (Hwang Tae Kyung), Lee Hong Ki (Jeremy).

Jemma (Park) is a nun in training when one day, a man tells her to pretend to be her twin brother, Go Mi Nam. She refuses, but fates has her deciding to accept. Hwang Tae Kyung is reluctant to accept him and makes her sing. She sings a church hymn that has Kyung accepting him/her in the band. Fate decided to be crueler to her by having her screw up everything that has to do with Kyung. To make things worse, Shin Woo knows she's a girl and now so does Kyung, Jeremy is the only one missing half of his brain (LOL). But Go Mi Nam (er..) has decided she will stay no matter what, because her brothers dream was to find their mother.

This is too funny! It's really cute and Kyung is so freaking hot!!! He gets so paranoid over her, it's too funny to watch. He gets into all kinds of bad situation because of her... so hillarious. You still have a chance to catch this series, as it's still airing.

Not rating this one yet.

All of these series you can find by heading over to Mysoju and for the OST for "Take care of the young Lady" head over My Sugoi
