Upcoming: Legend of the Blue Sea

Published by

I was just thinking about all the current male actors dominating the scene and wondering where the Lee Min Ho went, when I found out that he has not disappeared after all (he did after all, act in Bounty Hunters) and will be coming back with a new drama on November 16 2016. The show is basically about a mermaid (Jun Ji Hyun) from the Joseon era who met a con artist (Lee Min Ho) and their love story. Okay I probably simplified it a lot but we only have a few weeks before we find out the whole premise of the show. I’m excited because these two leads are huge, so hopefully the show is going to be a blockbuster too. I mean, look at what happened with Descendants of the Sun! But Descendants was a smart show with smart writing and honestly, I don’t know how many Descendants we can pull off in just a year of 2016. Yes, that show blazed through the world only a few months ago and thereafter, we …

Hahaha even though I haven't been watching any on-going dramas because of my busy schedule, I have taken time out to watch some old movies and dramas when I'm chilling or eating! So I think the next few posts will be more of updates on what I've been doing rather than recaps/reviews. Boys Over Flowers That's right – guess who has decided to pull out her old stash of DVDs and to binge on this drama HAHAHA. I am loving it all over again, despite it having been…6 years? OMG it has been 6 years. Guys we are old. I love it when they have the four of them together<33 And of course, I love Yi Jung/ Kim Bum. Look forward to these screenshots HAHA. I'm only on Episode 5! <3thoughtsramble

The Heirs

Published by

I've finally catched up on the last 2 episiodes of the Heirs…and I think I'm quite pleased with them. There was not much climax between the two episodes, but I love watching a good fairytale happy ending anyday, with characters that I'm pleased to watch. The finale was cute, with every pair being on marshmallows and clouds. I especially love the times when Won and Tan appear together, because I really like the casting done for these two characters — one stoic and stern, but soft at times, and the other warm and kind. They look really similar too to be honest! I wish that Hyun Joo and Won didn't have such a sad ending. Even though it makes sense, and ultimately it is Won who wears the crown and has to bear the weight of it, it still sucks because it doesn't feel like a poetic justice kind of ending. My favourite kind of ending, no matter how cliche, is that the bad guys get their bad endings (the bitch slap, or jail, or …

I'm officially free nowww(: Still gonna be busy enjoying the new found freedom with friends, but I hope I will be able to spend more time here! I've finished catching up with The Heirs in the past few days, with the help of recaps, but I've decided to stop reading them around episode 12 because I figured this drama isn't thattt bad as the recap made it sound to be. I just have a small complaint — why make Ye Sol the target of school gossip? Why make her all repentant and apologetic towards Eun Sang, only to have her scoffing later on when Eun Sang reveals herself to be from the Social Care group? In that sense, I feel like this character hasn't grown at all and that's such a waste of our time and drama time which could be better spent developing other characters. She was STILL gossiping about Hyun Shin and Rachel and still had the same old scaredy-oh-no-did-she-hear-me face. I don't like that:< On the other hand, I really like Lee …

Hah, I found out that it wasn't just me who realllyyy wanted to watch more of the childhood parts. In fact, many netizens are requesting for an extension of the roles of these actors, and even the adult actors felt the pressure to do well. I mean, wow, just a crew of child actors and they succeed with a rating of 25.1% for Episode 4, that's like…simply amazing!  I'm a bit lost here. I see recaps of Episode 4 on Google, but I can't find a subbed episode 4! Does this mean that ockoala's Korean? Lol, that was just a really random thought. The more important thing is –> I want my Episode 4!:O <3thoughtsramble

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 …

Lee Min Ho’s Interview about City Hunter

Published by

Q: The style in City Hunter is totally different from Boys Over Flowers and Personal Preference. What is your emphasis on acting in City Hunter? A:I think that it should be the relationship between characters. As the plot develops, Lee Young Sung and Kim Young Joo’s relationship gradually changes. When Kim Young Joo’s father had an accident because of Lee Yoon Sung, it seems that it should be tense between the both of them after that. However, if one recalls the relationship between these two people, Lee Yoon Sung will naturally feel guilty, because after all, it is because of him that Kim Young Joo’s father met with the car accident. While acting this out, I don’t want to ignore the interactions between people.   Q:If the script has a clash with the understanding that you had of a character, how would you solve it? A: Firstly, I will think it through carefully. If I have a very clear idea or thought, I will mention it for us to discuss. Actually, this has something to …

Lee Min Ho expresses regrets at the incomplete love in City Hunter

More trivia on Lee Min Ho and City Hunter:  Q: Heard that while filming City Hunter, you were hurt by the pieces of explosion. How’s the recovery?A:There were two sites of explosion on the set. Perhaps there was too much explosives, after the explosion, the glass shards hurt my leg. I’m better now, but actually I have a lot of injuries everywhere, I still feel that it’s tough (laughs) Q:In City Hunter, it ends with the foster father dying, and Lee Yoon Sung living on. Towards this ending, what’s your views? A:This ending suits Lee Yoon Sung’s character very well. Yoon Sung is someone who doesn’t know how to be selfish. It’s not realistic for him to live on happily when his foster father died. The best ending will be like what happened in the drama, he still stays around in the city, leaving people the grave impression of the view of his back. But after that, perhaps Lee Yoon Sung will get his happiness (laughs) like the original works, it’s good to live a …

Lee Min Ho willing to participate in City Hunter Season 2

Published by

  Oh wow. I never thought I'd be doing this, but oh well, it's good to have variation in one's livejournal^^ I've been searching for more trivia regarding City Hunter, and I came across this interview which says that Lee Min Ho will be happy to take part in a Season 2. This interview also gives his interpretation of the ending:  " Adapted from the manga, City Hunter, the drama has garnered attention because of its focus on social issues. The only flaw is its ambiguous ending at the end of the drama regarding the romance, and this has been criticised by some members of the public, to the point of the theory of "Lee Min Ho's spirit".  Regarding this, Lee Min Ho expressed, "There are indeed many regrets in the drama's romance. After kissing Kim Nana, City Hunter's identity was found out by others. From then on, the relationship between the two has no progress; for Kim Nana to wait till the five people were punished is also regretful." "Even though I can understand the City …

Lee Min Ho in action

Published by

Lol I’ve been wanting to do this post for quite a long time, because I’ve been watching so many behind the scenes and funny NGs that I wanna share with you guys here!  So in relation to the previous post, yep Lee Min Ho leaps around the cars, especially in the junkyard scene, HIMSELF:DDD So exciting to know that hahahaha.  credited to: http://www.askactor.com&nbsp; "   City Hunter’s” martial arts director Yang Kil Young stated, “While Lee Min Ho’s tall height is a disadvantage for stunts, his agility and reflexes help him create superb action scenes. Additionally, he puts in a lot of effort and does not spare himself. Working with him was a rewarding experience, and I enjoyed it.”  "  Aahhhhh allow me to fangirl for a while:D I mean I have nothing, absolutely nothing I think, against actors/actresses who use stuntmen/women because after all, actors are meant to act, in a sense, not fight but this is why it’s so amazing to see actors who are so professional in their jobs ( I don’t …

City Hunter

Published by

OMGG okay I’m totally working on City Hunter Recaps:D But I’m also watching Behind the scenes and NGs of City Hunter (I LOVE WATCHING BEHIND THE SCENES, just sayingXD Who’s with me lol. ) and and and ah okay I know that Lee Min Ho didn’t use a stuntman for his actions, but still it’s so cool to watch the behind the scenes and see Lee Min Ho personally doing all the turns on the cars and props HIMSELF! I mean obviously, I know that his fist is not so strong in real life that he could smash a window/a mirror, and that even though the City Hunter could defeat so many opponents, in reality, they are not even fighting, but it’s just very cool to me to see Lee Min Ho running on cars and leaping from here to there in reality :DD  <3thoughtsramble

First impressions of City Hunter Episode 1-5

Published by

Hello my dear readers! Yes I’ve started on a new drama called City Hunter, starring Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young….. and I love the show! Nice action, smart guy, smart girl, nice second leads (more on that later hee hee), and basically very good looking leads with good plot… -thumbs up!- As you probably know, I usually don’t start off with recaps for the first few episodes, because they are always just like the soup of the day to me — getting ready for the main course. Alternatively, you could also say that me watching the first few episodes and doing reviews is like testing the water. If I like it, I will continue, if I don’t…. too bad 😛 This time round, it’s a bit different, because my first impressions of the drama is filled with screenshots! To cut the long story short, there were 5 high ranking officials who planned for 21 special agents to infiltrate North Korea and kill North Korea agents. However, the 5 officials decide to abort the …

Personal Preference Review

Published by

Personal Preference! The first thing I have to say is — if you hated Lee Min Ho from BOF because of his hair, his character and everything else, don’t let that stop you from watching Personal Preference! All right, on with the synopsis of the story. Jeon Jin Ho ( Lee Min Ho) is an aspiring architect who is really good but is always defeated by Chang Ryul (Kim Ji Suk) and his evil father. As Jin Ho did not want to go down without a fight, he decided to partake in the competition to see who gets to build the upcoming mega project — the Dam Art Gallery. He heard rumours that this gallery was supposed to be based on the concept of Sanggojae, a traditional korean house. He could not understand why and he grabbed the opportunity to move into Sanggojae when the chance arrived. However, he was misunderstood to be gay by Kae In (So Ye Jin), the landlady of the house. Kae In was just recently hurt by her relationship with Chang Ryul, who, …
