Secret Garden Episode 4-8

Published by

I’m halfway through Episode 8!^^ HAHAHA [ by the way I’m not going to do recaps:P ] I think Secret Garden has, by far, one of the most successful body swaps that I’ve seen! Many dramas use body swaps to create a comical effect… and failed terribly, but Secret Garden succeeds by quite a big margin, if my squeals and laughter are an evidence to anything. I think it’s funny how the four main characters are all using each other to make one another realise something and they act so close and intimate just to spite others — Seul and Joo Won just make Oska crazy, Joo Won plus Oska make Ra Im pissed and so on and so forth.  I think that Hyun Bin has really a cute dimple!^^ I hope that after they soul-swapped back, he will continue to smile in that way so that we can see the dimple:PP It’s just too awesome to see him all gay. On the other hand, Joo Won in Ra Im’s body is not that funny …

Secret Garden Episode 1-3

Published by

I am utterly hooked on this drama! It’s a good thing that I don’t celebrate Christmas:P  I put off watching this drama because I’ve heard of the body swap and that sounds a little too….. nonsencial for my liking. However, the moment I realise that it’s Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin PAIRED TOGETHER, gosh I can’t wait to start on this drama. I’ve liked Ha Ji Won from Hwang Zhen Yi and Hyun Bin from other dramas, though I almost couldn’t recognise him, because he’s so much more good looking now. Skinnier? From the first three episodes, they give me a sense of good romance with a hint of comedy, and potential to develop lots of romance scenes that will make us squeal. I’ve no idea what I’ve liked about this drama and what pulls me towards it actually…. perhaps the chemistry of the couple? I like how Joo Won tries to restrain himself yet he couldn’t help but to care for Ra Im. There’s something about her that just attracts his attention, and …

ARGHHH I’ve been diligently typing the recap for Autumn’s Concerto AND LIVEJOURNAL FREAKING DELETED IT THE WHOLE THING. ARGHHH.  I’m so sorry for that outburst… I will come up with the recap again soon. D: <3thoughtsramble 

Updates~~~

About that Keizoku 2:SPEC recap down [ points to the below entry] remember to comment! Please don’t be shy(: or it’s really hard for me to tell if it works or not. Next — I’ve just gotten back the results of my language exam! I’ve no idea if it’s good though sigh — am trying to google search where my certificate lies in the big picture out there, but I think honestly it’s quite useless at the moment.  I will be doing a couple of entries like wishlist and what-not in the next few days, and I LOVE READING~~~ I think I should start watching Majo Saiban [ spelling?] soon, or I will have no time next year. Right…. it’s time to tell you guys that once the new year starts, I probably won’t be updating as often as this [ like once every two days or something ]. It will probably be more like once a week, or even worse, once in three weeks when I have my exams, but I do love posting …

Keizoku 2:SPEC Episode 3 Recap

Published by

So here it is! Third Episode of Keizoku 2:SPEC 😀 I will not promise that I will do this ALL the way, and this recap is just for a try out, to test if it really helps those who need English subs. If you guys want me to go on, you will have to leave a comment, or I will not know whether it helps you or not! Here goes: [ By the way, I’ve started on Episode 3 because I found English subs for the previous 2 episodes already… try googling search it!] 

Bonjour!:D

Haha lol that was random. Just finished reading some stories from Nora Roberts and it feels kinda like a Julia Quinn thing. In an attempt to make up for all the lost quality time that I could have spent with my books, I have devoured Agatha Christie’s books as well. I guess I was looking for elements of the Japanese Dramas in them, and I was mildly disappointed to find sparks of Nancy Drew instead — more of a story rather than thought provoking plot elements.  I’m trying [ key word there! ] to learn some Japanese right now but I just hate memorising so much that it’s kind of failing:P I’ve decided that I shall do a recap for Episode 3 of Keizoku 2:SPEC so do check back for it! Autumn’s Concerto last recap will come in about a few days, and I’m kinda itching for another new drama. I’m actually thinking of rewatching Mars because I mean, it’s <3. <3thoughtsramble     P.S I’m sorry if I sound so, so disjointed because I’m so giddy …

The Man Who Can’t Marry

Published by

Honestly, I feel so bad about the impending days when I’m outside and nowhere near my computer to do recaps or to post entries, I’ve decided to post something to at least make up for it. This entry is not going to be about a recap or a review about The Man Who Can’t Marry, but rather it’s just going to be full of screenshots. Of who?  Jae Shin and Ga Eul(: That’s right! I’ve kinda dropped that drama not because it’s lousy or anything, but because the steaming site got too slow, but up till the point where I’ve watched, they’re still a couple. Imagine that! My favourite guy from Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and my favourite girl from Boys Over Flowers. Ga Eul’s quite pretty, but I must forewarn everyone that Yoo Ha In was not like Jae Shin. He went for the nerdy-cute style there, but because I know it’s Jae Shin, I can’t help but like him:D Here goes! My first glimpse of him and I was like HEHH IS THAT HIM?:OOO Pretty …

Writer’s Block: Time after time

Published by

Yes! Again and again and again. Sometimes I do the opposite though — I only watch/read it again for once and that’s it because the next time I’ll be thinking okay that’s a really good book/movie and I need to find a good time to read/watch it, but then, there’s never a good time seriously. My upper limit on repeats stands at five I guess. 

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 15

Published by

 LOL I figured since I’m so caught up in this right now, I will just do a quick entry on it. Right now, I’m watching Episode 11 with the top 4 left — Ann, Chelsey [spelling??], Jane, Kayla.  I’ve watched one season of America’s Next Top Model before and I didn’t really like it, mostly because of the catfights and I was perhaps too young then to really like fashion. Right now, I’m at the age where… I strongly reject dressing older than how I should be simply because those around me have been getting too caught up about rushing towards an age, and I was like Come on just enjoy life as it is now, won’t you?? That being said, I do like looking at models and fashion but that was also mainly because I have this quirky habit where I like to analyse what makes a person beautiful/cute/pretty. Won’t you? It’s like I could walk pass this branded store and immediately my eyes snaps to a beautiful woman on the poster, and I …

Lalala…

A couple of updates that seem like they have nothing to do with what this Livejournal is about — First, I’m watching the latest season of America’s Next Top Model!:D It’s the second season that I’m watching and I’m loving it. Second, CN Blue’s I’m A Loner is deeply stuck in my head. Yikes.  Hahaha, right on to more relevant updates — Karin’s slightly irritating me out, but I will explain why when I do a review on it, probably tomorrow or something. I’m amazed! I’m going to finish the series really soon, making this a record of finishing an anime within 2 days. – waves hand and acknowledges the applause- Autumn’s Concerto next episode recap is in the making, and I’m dying for the next episode of Keizoku 2:SPEC to be out and subbed.  That’s about all… I’m wondering if I should watch Secret Garden when I’m free, and if I should continue My Girlfriend is A Gumiho. Come to think of it, I’ve never dropped a drama before. Even if it’s the crappiest …

Yo Yo Yo!

Lol I just finished a language exam!^^ Have been a little busy these few days preparing for the examination and what-not, and I’m going out now, so here’s just a quick post to tell you guys that Autumn’s Concerto Recaps will come really soon, maybe tomorrow or something…. and that I WANT KEIZOKU 2:SPEC EPISODE 9 TO BE SUBBED :<  All righto, I’ve discovered a new anime series, but it’s quite old — Karin. Aint like how those female anime characters always have unnatural bulging chest, but other than that, everything’s going lovely^^ Usui’s eyes are the smallest eyes I’ve ever seen though.  <3thoughtsramble

Keizoku 2:SPEC

Published by

Right, I just want to inform those who have been cursing and wailing for the past few weeks for a lack of a subbing group to take up Keizoku 2:SPEC, that if you can understand Chinese, you might want to check Tudou instead. I’ve been watching from there, and I’m actually considering doing recaps for those who needed English subs, because up till now, I don’t think anyone did subs for more than episode 2. Still thinking about it though, and no promises^^ Oh right, and I distinctly remembered reading somewhere about a discussion on why the Spanish in Keizoku 2:SPEC and I’m wondering, if it’s because of Yu Shirota? He’s half Spanish right? -edit- Right, if you want me to do recaps [ actually I aint sure that it will help but still… ], please leave a comment kay!  <3thoughtsramble

What You Think You Can Find In A Taiwanese Drama…. and You Probably Would.

Published by

Hee hee, I’ve been itching to write this post for a long, long time, and so I’ve decided to take a break from Autumn’s Concerto Recaps and write it, like finally!:DD  Yes, so as the title suggests, this is going to be a post on What You Think You Can Find In A Taiwanese Drama… and You Probably Would. Sounds familiar? That’s right, it’s the twin of this entry — http://thoughtsramble.livejournal.com/3120.html  I must clarify first though, that I’m not saying a cliche in Taiwanese Dramas can’t be found in Korean Dramas and vice versa, so there’re some points that I’ve mentioned below that might coincide with what you think a Korean Drama is like. Some of these points are made in comparison with Korean Dramas, because that’s the other type of dramas that everyone knows, right?:D [ Yeah… admittedly, Japanese Dramas are quite… neglected D:] So without further ado, let’s start!:D  1.        The Guy must be the worst guy you have ever seen.             Yeahhhhh the guy got to be the most badass that you’ve ever met — mean, …
