My Rating: ♥♥♥.5/5














So I just finished this drama yesterday. It's been a while since I've really been "into" a drama. It all started when I thought I'd just watch the first episode to see if it was anything like the American "Lie to Me." Gotta say, the two are not even close. Lol. Plus my favorite actress Yoon Eun Hye is in it, so I instantly fell in love. Add the fact that you can watch all 16 episodes for free on Hulu and you've got a deal!

With that said there are a few minor things that bother me... The characters don't really develop at all! Even a main character's story line seems to be forgotten and loose ends left to hang. The drama moves from hilarious and witty female lead to mushy, unrealistic romance. No one really believes you can fall in love so deeply so quickly. Now it seems like every Korean drama there is always a really rich guy and a poor female. I am dying for something different! Pleaseeeeeee! And get this, the song Kung Fu Fighting, is used in it. I thought it was so out of place that I just bursted out laughing! No! No! No!

Basic Synopsis: It all starts when Ministry of Culture official, Gong Ah Jung lies to her friend to get back her that she's married. Little does she know her lie leads to her friends thinking she's married to CEO of World Hotel Hyun Ki Joon! To keep up the lie, Ah Jung has to convince Hyun Ki Joon to play along. All of which results in hilarious and romantic situations.

W Korea - Yoon Eun Hye & TOP

So no fan club today, I really wanted to post something a little different. Recently, I've been ranting about actress Yoon Eun Hye a lot. In almost every post this week I have somehow mentioned her. So now, in honor of W Korea's October issue, here is a look at a hot and sexy photo shoot in New York with BigBang's TOP and Yoon Eun Hye. Sexy, sexy! ^^

Coffee Prince! Coffee Prince! Coffee Prince! I love Coffee Prince! I think I've already said this in previous drama posts but I love watching anything with actress Yoon Eun Hye. I just think she is good whether it is as a girl, boy, good, evil, sexy, cute anything! I just love her and as far as gender bender drama actresses I think she is far better than Park Shin Hye.

The drama follows the basic poor woman, rich man with gender bender spin to it, but I tend to love girly things like that. It also has actor Kim Jae Wook, who I think is super dreamy... And get this, in the drama he also speaks Japanese, makes waffles and wears black nail polish. I swear to god he is the reason why I started wearing black nail polish (I know what drama I'm going to do next weeeeeekkkk!!!). Oh yeah and because it is Yoon Eun Hye, the kissing/do it scenes are soooo much better, she is actually one of the few actresses who actually kiss back. Way to go! Love ya gal!

Basic Synopsis: Go Eun Chan, a Tae Kwon Do instructor, gives up her feminine image and lives her life with multiple jobs trying to pay off the debts of her family. Choi Han Gyul is a rich grandson of a huge food company who is forced to go on dates because of his grandmother. Han Gyul mistakes Eun Chan as a man and pays her to play his gay lover to fend off the blind dates. Han Gyul is then forced to take over a coffee shop going under and turn it into a profitable business. Eun Chan ends up with a job at the coffee shop but must keep her gender a secret. Romantic scenarios start to make everyone in the shop question his sexuality.

There's no trailer video for you guys this week because there is no good ones!!! Let me know if you have one.

Happy Halloween everyone! I just wanted to say that since tomorrow I will not be posting. I have a love/hate relationship with Halloween...things always seem to go very well or very bad around this time of year and I am just sick of it. I just want good things from now on! Everyone be safe and enjoy all the yum yums!

This week's Korean drama is Goong! Yay! It's an older drama based off the manhwa (Korean comic) Goong by Park So Hee. I think I actually starting reading that manhwa a long time ago, but could not get through it (the drawing style wasn't really to my liking). Anyways the manhwa is a long read but the drama is very good and true to the original story. I always tend to watch things that the actress Yoon Eun Hye has been in (Coffee Prince, Little Black Dress). It can get a little slow and frustrating in some parts but it makes up for it in the ending.

It has the classic female protagonist falls in love with mean guy with a couple different love triangles and scandals thrown in... And it deals heavily on the themes of tradition and responsibility of royalty to the people. I really do not envy royalty, it's got to be hard. I'm rooting for you Kate Middleton! Like I said earlier, it can get really slow in the middle but just barrel through and the ending will make it all worth it. Also, they've adapted this to be a musical. Korea's first original musical that debuted in 2010.

Basic Synopsis: This takes place in a fictional world where Korea has an established constitutional monarchy. The old king has died and has arranged the crown prince, Joo Ji Hoon, to marry a commoner. That commoner turns out to be Shin Chae Kyung, who initially marries to save her family from loan sharks. Shin Chae Kyung deals with the social, political, and traditional trials of being Korean. Both the crown prince and princess start to fall in love despite their past loves and regrets.
