ROOFTOP PRINCE review.

I don’t know how to sum up all the good comments in this series coz for me this is the best drama of the first quarter of 2012; probably Yoochun‘s best drama where he proves how versatile hallyu star he is. I didn’t feel like watching it when I tried to have a glimpse of the first episode because I am into Fashion King  (check my Fashion King review) but with just its first episode it made me laughing so hard that I am really trying not to wake up the people sleeping in my place! And so with just ‘a try’ , in just one night I’ve watched four episodes and then I knew I’m hooked.

Some viewers might say how this story is a lot like a male version of My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho, where there’s a time when the lead will disappear and the period of adapting to a new environment that will surely make the viewers laugh. The romance between Bak Ha and Lee Gak together with  the three lads from Joseon has a real good chemistry in the story. Even Hong Se Na and Tae Mu are both very effective that all who’ll watch will surely hate them.

There’s a lot of conflicts in this story; the time travel reason, the Yong Tae Yong & Crown Princess case, the we had a right love at the wrong time situation between the leads and lastly, who’s my mom question… all those questions were able to answered one by one leaving a great contentment and suspense thrill in my heart because of the twists added with a very commending sound effects and background.

I’d like to say Thank you to the writer, director, sound directors and the casts for making the 20 hours of my life worth laughing and crying. This is drama is such a masterpiece that will absolutely make you ecstatic from first to last episode. I now don’t know if I should watch other drama now that I have seen the best. This show proves how powerful a destiny is that if it is for you, it is for you even after 300 years.

FASHION KING REVIEW.

I actually needed days before writing this review to be able to gather my thoughts and to be able to think about what the writer is trying to give in the story. Fashion King is not really a romantic comedy drama like what it is supposed to, though it tried to give humor to its first six episodes with a really fast phase story beating Love Rain‘s rating in Korea, as you watch it it’s becoming more of a melodrama.

I’m not against with it becoming more into drama because I’m having fun watching the four main characters Young Gul, Ga Young, Jae Hyuk and Anna change and return partners. At first I find it really amusing that I’m always anticipating for the next episode but as you go to its half episodes (ep 11 onward). Everything is like being repeated, the problem will be answered and it will occur again for like almost three times til the end. I think the writers had a sudden change of mind how they will end and continue airing this story for 20 episodes with such a shallow plot and problems and so they started making repeated circumstances, scenes, lines and dialog even it will be so far already from the title Fashion King; because when you watched it, yes it is indeed about fashion but the story isn’t about the Fashion King or maybe the Fashion is a symbolization for Ga Young and the king is a question ‘who will be her king?’  

Fashion King is telling what life really is you’re once up and you’ll go down, a what comes around Korean drama that has a very unexpected ending that you’ll not appreciate without a deep thinking for a lot of days. Because I seriously didn’t like the ending but as I have gathered the scenes in my mind and thought about what the story from the bible, it does make sense to me now. Jae Hyuk had him killed to be able to continue having Ga Young at his side. I swear it was Jae Hyuk and not his father coz what the hell could the father will gain when Young Gul died, right?

Lastly I commend all the actors and actress in this story for being so realistic especially Yoo Ah In, all the roles he has is sinking to his personality may it be a drunkard dirty secret admirer guy or a loud boastful romantic guy. Shin Se Kyung who has a weird mouth reaction when saying something that I find fit ti Ga Young’s naive personality.

THOUGHTS ABOUT JJ PROJECT

So first and foremost I’m a huge JYP Entertainment fan and I swear, I love all of their artists; so when I first read in Allkpop that they will be a new debut for JYPE that will be first seen in Dream High 2,  more anticipation risen in me.

So JB got my heart in Dream High 2 because of his cool attitude in the first episode and the love story rotated a lot to his character. Jr on the other hand is like a cutie guy, but he didn’t make me notice him that much except after he sang the We Are The B song.

It is just so funny that JB’s name is Jae Beom same name of the ex-leader of 2PM and Jr’s real name is Park Jin Young same name of the JYPe’s CEO JYP.  That is just a funny coincidence but no matter what I so love them.

Now they have released their title track and performed it live!!! Wow! Jr’s rap is so awesome while JB’s voice is like an eargasm plus he looks so cute when he is shaking his butt. Well 2PM, Miss A had their debut like JJ’s now so I’m really looking to their future career! BUT PLEASE, I’m a 2PM lover but seriously I don’t want JJ to make their bodies bigger like that of to Taec’s and other 2PM members… well because of they’ll be having same taste like hotness. It is better for JJ to be a cool one like what they are now.

Lastly, I’m recommending everyone to take a listen to this song featuring Miss A Suzy. This is way better than their debut track and I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THEM PERFORM THIS LIVE.

JUST LIKE A CIGARETTE

they wear low pants and wide shirts
you wear it plain with jeans
i never like their piercings
and you ain’t got one and clean
the ideas feeding in your brain is
as many as the ink they got on their skin

your arms are bare
seem not to care
oh dear

chorus:
what it is like if i was your cigarette
the breath you take, the one that makes
you and them the same
i’d be the smoke filling your head
if i could be your cigarette

face down, hands in your pocket
saw you in your same red jacket
another time, another pack
i’ll take my chance, no more held back
so take a drag and tell me

iNSPIRED BECAUSE OF THE SAME REASON.

I thought leaving the country will make me forget all the things I’ve been wanting to forget but hey! it is not and it seems getting worse than ever. So first week is fine until these past days I’ve been very thankful that I  have a Blackberry phone that I was planning to ditch for I-phone, but after ‘he’ has his blackberry phone and constant BBMs, I’ve been very good in everything. The feeling like there’s someone I can talk to at work’s break or coffee time when going home and ease the tired feeling by just simple conversations.

I dont care if he is using BBM courting anyone he likes but I’m just happy and I know it.

SUNGKYUNKWAN SCANDAL REVIEW

I enjoyed watching this series that I didn’t notice that I’m near to its last episode. The plot is simple like the others gender binder thingy and some political stuffs from Joseon Dynasty, Yoo Ah In and Park Min Young have that chemistry and one thing that left me after watching its feel good funny ending is that I love Yoo Ah In so I’m going to watch Fashion King and I like Song Joong Ki and lastly, I’m a JYJ fan.

There’s no character you’ll not love maybe at the end you’ll learn but everything about this series is just so wonderful. My favorite episode is when Geol Oh/Moon Jae Shin knows Kim Yoon Shik is a girl! I swear, I love to see Geol and Yoon Shik end up with each other.

I LOVE GEOL OH, THE CRAZY HORSE

But I still love the ending though, especially the Joseon Quartet, damn they are all handsome! Even the antagonist president and her little sissy stalker. I love everything about this drama, even the OST.

DREAM HIGH 2′s REVIEW and DREAM HIGH 1 comparison

So I guess I have to be straight with this review and if you’ll agree to me or not is your choice. Having the name DREAM HIGH 2 which is obviously a second part of the first made people give a lot of expectations in the series.

Dream High2 didn’t get me in its first and second episode and so I have to be patient and wait for better episodes to come out. The comedy of Hae Sung’s character didn’t make me laugh at her instead her mistakes and story irritated me; to be honest, she’s my most hated character in this season. Moving to next episodes, Yoo Jin’s character is getting me with his story and the way Jin woon acts same with Rian who I’m supposed to hate but I really fell inlove with her character. JYPE’s soon to debut stars JR and JB did well since it’s their first time in everything. I guess, JYPE’s training really helped me.

There’s no way that people can prevent comparing Dream High 1 to this Dream High 2, so I made a lot of comparisons.

1. Dream High 1 is more focused on achieving dreams over love lines but Dream High 2  is more  focused on love, giving up dreams and finding a new one. But in the end, to where almost the whole story rotates about the Dream High love square, there isn’t any chance that someone ended up with someone! It’s like the reason why I got the craze is for nothing it was like the plot is useless.

2. In Dream High 1 the flavor of each factor to succeed mixed well, from friends, to family, to love but with Dream High2 everything is not constant.

3. Dream High 1′s plot is well prepared, Dream High 2 isn’t that much; take it as an example, JB was just waiting for Rian to come since it’s her birthday but Rian is with Yoo Jin’s company singing because she was forced by the fans, JB then hear Sora’s practice singing Hello To Myself and comforted her. The next day, Rian sang the song that Hae Sung composed and JB already liked and followed Hae Sung to the point of even chasing her. It’s like everything was rushed, so that it will develop love lines. The scriptwriter seems having fun confusing the audience, JB waiting for Rian at the hospital giving tulips, JB holding Rian’s hand when Sora left her, Yoo Jin and Rian sweet moments and JB’s constant asking of “Are you two dating?” where in the end none of the problems were answered. Lastly, it is like a story within a story, Dream High 1 Song Sam Dong’s character is always mentioned and obviously present in the story but the others aren’t like Hye Mi when Suzy had a cameo are not.

4. Unlike Dream High 1; Dream High 2 is supposed to be achieving dreams, but almost all of the leads, lose the grip in achieving it: JB who was a hallyu star just become a producer, Si Woo who was also a popular star isn’t anymore, Hae Sung who want to be a singer, gave up singing and became a composer. Only Rian has achieved her dreams.

5. Dream High 2′s ending is like a copy cut to season 1′s ending. Yoon Baek Hee became a teacher, JR became a teacher; The director’s daughter became a teacher, the OZ entertainment’s CEO/director’s daughter became a teacher; Hye Mi’s sister enrolled Kirin, Hye Sung’s sister enrolled Kirin. The only difference is you know Sam Dong and Hye Mi ended up though it was like a long distance relationship and season 1 answered all the problems.

But I’m not saying that Dream High2 is a bad series, coz I seriously got the hype to wait every Monday and Tuesday to watch the performances, the love square and cameos. I was actually hoping all the leads from season 1 to have a cameo especially 2PM’s Taecyeon but it never happened, all their performances and cover are amazing that I always download it and the love square between the four leads that got me hooked to ship JB and Rian from the start then switched to Yoo Jin and Rian. If the ending was able to answer everything I probably liked the series. But for the cameos, cover performances and OST, I have to say Dream High 2 matched Dream High 1.

I think Dream High 2 is about failing to meet your dream but not making it a hindrance to be able to dream for something new again.

If this series wasn’t called DREAM HIGH, probably this review wont be like this. It goes with the name and the history, i guess.

 

update: FROM A SOURCE DREAM HIGH 2 WILL BE AIRED ON GMA while DREAM HIGH 1 WILL BE AIRED ON ABS-CBN. That’s just so weird. But it is not yet confirmed!

LEGO HOUSE MUSIC VIDEO feat. MY VOICE!!! :)

I once published my  Lego House cover and getting hooked to Dream High 2 made me match all those sweet scenes to Ed Sheeran‘s lyrics.

I really don’t like JB with Hae Sung and I would be proud to say I’m their loveteam’s anti so when JB started liking Hae Sung, I started liking Yoo Jin for Rian since both characters have more exposures and happy scenes.

As JYP Entertainment releases Together OST from the said series; I made this video where it is a little favor with Yoo Jin. But no matter who ends up with Jiyeon, is okay with me as long as she will end up with someone.

Check this music video!  TAKE NOTE OF THE WORDS AND SCENES.

 

ETUDE HOUSE BUBBLE HAIR COLOR IS STILL THE ONE.!

The last time I dyed my hair; I was using Etude House Natural Brown color and now I’m here in Canada and need some touch-up for my hair color, I decided to use a western brand Nice and Easy, where they are both foam and almost every procedures are the same. The difference is just there’s a free body cover in Etude House and but Nice and Easy don’t, just gloves.

Well I used and I didn’t like the foam. So the hair color doesn’t reach the back part of my hair especially my hair is already attracted to each other that it is already hard to remove.

But so far, though this hair color is nothing compared to Etude House, here’s my new hair color.
