What’s up

Published by

I don't know if you are waiting for my recaps In Time With You, but if you are, I apologise for it being so late!! The reason being… I got myself utterly hooked on the Meitantei Conan starring Mizobata Junpei. I think I mentioned in an earlier recap that mystery and crime is totally, totally my cup of tea, and so I couldn't help myself………. ending up clicking the link for the next episode, and the next and then next, and yes you get the picture(: Just finished the series today! After which I got wind of a movie that Mizobata Junpei acted in this year, and I finished watching it today as well. I know -hang head in shame-, I've only gone through 2/6 of In Time With You, but I will get it out…. soon!(: Of course, I've no idea if I want to recap Meitantei Conan or review it, because there are after all 13 episodes to recap, and I'm a lazy one who doesn't usually recap what I've blazed through in a matter …

The One And Only

Published by

I totally didn't know that this was coming. Was it just me that was out of the loop, or was there not enough hype about it?  Anyway, here's Lee Min Ho acting in a really short 4-part kind of drama, which acts more like a CF with Toyota Camry. Sounds of ragged breathing and snatches of the hospital intersperse, while we see Lee Min Ho being operated on. He had this blurred vision of himself running away from somebody but a car soon caught up with him.  Isn't that just reminiscent of City Hunter? (referring to outfit and style) He turned his head around, to find another Lee Min Ho looking down at him. This was all just a nightmare/memory as Lee Min Ho woke up in a shock. Doctor informed him that he had been in a coma for a month, and that a witness who drove him to the hospital said that he'd been assaulted. Lee Min Ho could not remember his name  and Doctor passed him his phone, with all his contacts …

So….

So… I'm watching Man of Honour/ Man of Honour Glory Jane right now…. and slow as you know I am, it took me two episodes to fully hit me why Park Min Young looks different.  …. I'm sorry! I think it was because she had her hair up for most of episode 2, so it didn't really register.  SO, which one do you prefer? Long-hair pretty Nana (by the way, I totally fangirl over her hair in my City Hunter Recaps) Or the cute, short hair Jae In? I've always admired celebrities who can carry off both the long hair and short hair styles because honestly, how many of us can do that? Some 'predecessors' will be Rainie Yang and Park Shin Hye, but I will say that Park Min Young looks really good in both hairstyles. Except… I don't know…. I mean, Nana totally took me in with her 'hair falling softly around her shoulders' thing, and while Jae In looks really cute&youthful…I might have to stick with Nana as my bias as of …

Boo.

Layout’s been changed for a reason; it’s only temporary but do tell me if you don’t like this new layout! Kinda attached to the old one so it feels weird looking at all the flowers and green right now. Another thing: Please tell me. That Jae In isn’t going to think that the guy is her brother or something. Please no, that will just be :///. (Talking about Man of Honour) <3thoughtsramble

Tired

Published by

Hahah really busy this week again. Remembered distinctly that I wanted to watch some dramas but I forgot which ones. It was either my memory failed me, or that I've watched the first episode and it puts me off already with the slow-moving plot. I tried the first episode of Man Of Honour, well it does seem interesting, but the first episode's all about the young kids' story, so the interesting parts will only come later I guess. Here, a wide-eyed eager Park Min Young.  <3thoughtsramble

SPAMS:

Published by

Is it just me, or are the spams getting worse and worse?:O I’m getting such a wide range of spams, it’s kinda amusing in a dry way to read what they offer. No, I’d rather they disappear right now. I rather hope they are unscreened by Livejournal! Not too sure that I deleted every single one of them manually. <3thoughtsramble

In Time With You Episode 5 Recap

Published by

I don't know who to blame — Da Ren for his passing, casual comment that "There's no way that I will fall in love with you" or You Qing for remembering it for the past 14 years. Probably, it's neither's fault. It's just one of those….. unfortunate things.  It's just that it's irritating how they obviously made for each other, but both are avoiding that trap of Love. As You Qing once mentioned, "To have, is the start of losing it." Friends, might be more long lasting than lovers. 

Ouran High School Host Club, a whirl through Episode 1 to 5

Published by

I've blazed through this drama in a whirlwind, but I shall slowly revisit this drama (only a day after finishing with it), to provide recaps!:D  Now as I've mentioned before, but just for the sake of those who are not familiar with my way of recapping, I usually provide simple recaps with more emphasis on commentary for the first few episodes. That's because I don't want to waste time recapping a series that I've no interest in, and we all know the first few episodes usually are the ones that build your love for the show, or kill it.  So here, having only read a volume of Ouran High School Host Club's manga, I dived into the show….to be pleasantly surprised! 

The List Goes On

5. Both are open about their sex life with the other friend.6. As quoted by You Qing herself "What a coincidence! It seems like whenever I'm having a relationship, you are single but when I'm nursing my wounds, you are in a relationship." Exactly, that's the problem between the male and female lead in Thirty Nothing too! And while Chen Bo Lin is the male lead of the show, as you know, I tend to take more notice of the second fiddles a.k.a the nice guy up there. Chen Bo Lin's character is really nice and all, but Nic (nice guy up there) is ahhhhhh. So Squeal-able.  <3thoughtsramble

It’s hard to believe

Published by

that the similarities between In Time With You and Thirty Nothing are just pure coincidences!:O  1. Both like to jibe each other about being the first to win the bet.  2. Both start to indulge in new relationships. 3.One party had rejected another party when they were younger. (in the case of Thirty Nothing, it was the girl who rejected the guy.)  4. They treat each other (or is it so?:P) as best friends for lifeeeeee. Hmm. That's interesting. <3thoughtsramble

In Time With You Episode 1 Review

Published by

Thoughtsramble is finally back to slightly more normal. Well, the normal pace of watching dramas. I've not watched a single drama with Ariel Lin, unless you count snatches and glimpses of It Started With A Kiss, which I didn't like at all. The reason why I was interested in watching this was because of how similar the basis of the story is as compared to a book I once read before, called Thirty Nothing by Lisa Jewell. Of course, the development of both plots take different paths, but both have two leads who had a bet. A bet to get hooked up/ a marriage at the age of 30.  And of course, they wouldn't be able to fulfil this bet, because even the most inexperienced drama-watcher should be able to tell, that their answers lie in each other.  I guess I'm definitely more comfortable with Ariel Lin as a normal girl acting her age and her mentality. Xiang Qin was definitely not my cup of tea.  <3thoughtsramble

K.O.3an Guo’s Behind The Scenes

Published by

Really tempted to post this for a long time, and after reading dangermousie's, I've decided to put this into action lol~ Hahahah this never fails to give me a good laugh:  credited to:labeillebubee Found this some time ago when I was watching KO One and looking for behind the scenes. I totally cracked up^^ Hahah it's no secret that I like Aaron and to a lesser extent, Fahrenheit (refer here:http://thoughtsramble.livejournal.com/49730.html for full story lol) , so it was cute to see him stumbling. I'm actually so tempted to post all the funny behind the scenes of some shows, but then yet again, I don't think I will make this into a personal fangirling space. So we shall see!^^ Ending off with this: credited to:jazs1505 subs credited to thoughtsramble: Aaron said, “We have finally regained our powers, so we will like to travel through dimensions^^” Calvin went on,”Shakespeare said ‘A delightful voyage, can give relaxation to a warrior with feelings of tension.” Jiro ended, “I have a quote too” (observe Aaron’s face of -oh really?- hahaha) …

Cookies And Cream

Published by

is my favourite flavour everrrr.((: Sorry for the lack of updates here! I've been really, really, really busy these days, and to put you in perspective, I haven't had any chance to watch any dramas at all for the past week0.0 which… is a feat in itself. Granted, I've been watching Nodame's specials and movie (again again!!!!! I love Nodame Cantabile, who's with me!!(:) but even Protect The Boss has to come to an hiatus simply because I don't have enough time:/  So pardon me if you keep coming back and you don't find new updates! I have no idea when this crazy bout of things will end, but rest assured that I will update as soon as I have the chance!(: Recaps, reviews, book reviews, whatever(:  Actually, I'm thinking of watching Nodame Cantabile's anime/ Ouran High School Host Club Anime/ Ouran High School Host Club live action drama when I'm free. Other than that, I might carry out the plan of going through more Studio Ghibli films (<3 Howl's Moving Castle!(:) Yes, if you've …

Shamer’s Chronicles

Published by

Omg…. just invested myself in this series for the past few days…. and I don't regret it at all! I've finished three books in two days, much at the expense of my other things-to-do, but it was worth it. ^^ Shamer's Chronicles consists of 4 books — The Shamer's Daughter, The Shamer's Signet, The Serpent's Gift and the Shamer's War. It all started with the story being written in Dina's point of view. Dina has a Shamer for a mother. This means that her mother could look into others' eyes and see into their minds. Their shame, petty deeds and guilt will be reflected right back at them. This also entails that no one really dares to look into Dina's eyes, because she had the Gift as well. When her mother is in danger because of an evil plot, she has to use her wits to save her.  I love the premise of this story. I've always had a soft spot for fantasy novels and while the target audience may be for a younger audience, …

YongSeo!!!

Published by

credited to:seoshified/www.soompi.com Aaaahh I finished watching all 51 episodes of YongSeo today!! And I already miss them so much! It's not so much about withdrawal symptoms but rather, knowing that they will have lesser opportunities to meet each other.  The fact that they are a 'real-couple' in that sense of the word probably allow more fans to hope fervently that the Goguma couple can become real in reality. Shipping a relationship between actors of the same drama is somewhat tenous compared to shipping this couple, who is having couple interactions at the real level! This is what won me over anyway, the sincerity that they face each other with, despite their dates and actions being followed closely by the camera. (One of my initial reservations about watching We Got Married because, seriously, who can grow love when a camera's in your face!)  I must admit that I cried at the last episode because one could tell that they just don't want to leave each other and aww, it was sad how SeoHyun cried, and how …

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e 2011 Remake Episode 10 Recap

Published by

Apologies for the late recap!(: Was really really really busy last week, but it should be better this week.  If favourite-est is a word (well obviously it isn't, but it is in thoughtsramble's world(: ), then this should be the favouriter-est episode, or the best episode so far. I actually teared a few times because it was quite touching. Oh well, my buttons are easy to push.

Just a quick look

Published by

Just took a quick look through my archives and wow discovered reviews/recaps done by myself which I've kinda forgotten:P And I discovered  that there are quite a number of comments which I've totally forgotten to reply (there goes my policy of replying every single comment lol). Anyway, Hmm it's too early, since it's still September, to do a round of 2011's dramas and animes and shows and books and what-not….but till now I must say that  City Hunter remains the Drama of The Year. I mean, this show seriously just sent all the other dramas out there stumbling to get their feets steady. Of course, there were other good dramas as well, but I guess the brilliant mix of action, romance, revenge (meaning plot) is just my right cup of tea. Not to mention having the Tragic-And-Torn Hero of The Year going to Lee Yoon Sung and The Most Likeable Female Lead going to Nana.  Though of course, I must say, after watching for the nth time (okay probably only the third time), Buzzer Beat …

Love Keeps Going

I can't believe lol how I just screwed up my drama-watching. Here goes the story: I've been watching this drama for bits and pieces till about Episode 6, where I started to watch each episode at its full length….and then out pops many committments so I was forced to drop this drama/watch bits and pieces again. Thinking that I had a bit of time today, I picked up the drama again, and found it strange that the site told me there were 25 episodes to be watched. Hmm. Then the site didn't work so I went to another streaming site, and happily watched Episode 13, thinking that hey I have a blissful number of 12 more episodes to go.  Now if you have already finished this drama, you would know where I'm leading to.  Indeed, imagine my surprise when I reached the last part and discovered…. episode 13 is the last episode.  !!!! Thank goodness I haven't watched the last part — so I shall watch it with the mindset that it's the last episode from …

Just thinking

I like knowing where I stand.  I want to write entries that people will read and be motivated to leave a comment, which is happening I'm glad, but not as many as I'd have wished to see. I mean, what's the use of having many readers when they just come and go?  I don't know, am probably just in one of rare I'm-actually-caring-about-this mood which will bypass pretty soon, but for now, allow me a rant.  Saying things like oh I shouldn't compare with the other drama blogs out there won't work, because I should compare right? There must be something that I work towards to, but I don't know what. Someone really nice offered to talk about my livejournal on her livejournal, but that offer was like one year back and I don't think she did it in the end, but I really appreciated the offer. I mean, sometimes I get really happy because my livejournal is actually known and recommended for some recaps by others, but I don't know just how successful, or …

The Graveyard Book

Published by

Was what I've finished in one sitting yesterday. This is my first Neil Gaiman book and I was expecting more angst, more dystopian elements but I didn't realise that the book I was holding was probably a book tailored for the younger audience. Which is fine, because I love this book(: Neil Gaiman's writing style fits my liking and while I'm never one who believes in good introductions (I mean, how many good books you know actually have good introductions? That's just a theory but not many acclaimed books can actually hook the readers in within that first two pages, whom everyone claimed is the most important part of a story ), the Graveyard Book opens with a man called Jack who killed three members of a family and he couldn't wait to kill the last member — the toddler.  Now, that's what I call a good introduction with its fishing line, bait and hook all ready.  It's all about a boy called Nobody Owens who grew up in a graveyard with ghosts for parents …

LADY~Saigo No Hanzai Profile~

Published by

Based on my limited understanding of Japanese, that meant the profile of the last criminal/suspect. Or something.  Yep so this is Kitagawa Keiko! This drama gave me creeps for a couple of days because the criminals are just damn pyschotic. I can't believe I cried over one of the psychotic cases   Some of the pyschos are actually portrayed in such a pitiful manner that I was kinda touched. Okay, actually only one. There was this pyscho who killed three people because he believed that their blood would bring his dead girlfriend to life again, and I don't know, his grief (oh wait, this is wayyy beyond grief) and his love for his lover combined with how Kazuki (Kitagawa Keiko's role) managed to get him relinquished his hold on the dagger was sad and touching.  I'm currently on Episode 6, but this drama is taken a bit slowly because I can't really bring myself to watch this in the wee hours. Am not afraid of ghosts, but give me pyschotic killers any time, and I …
