April:: KDrama Heaven :: Love Rain

If your not watching a currently airing kdrama this month you totally should be.. this month is JAMMED packed with amazing actors & story lines that you definitely don't want to miss.. I'm going to try and highlight a few I'm watching in my next couple of posts.


Love Rain

um... how can I not mention this one first! Its has my one true Korean love (aside from Lee Min Ho, T.O.P., Song Joong Ki, Kim Hyun Joong, Yonghwa.... uh - okay maybe not my only one) Jang Geun Suk & Girls Generation's [SNSD] Yoona.
 

Because I am such a devoted and loyal fan of Jang Geun Suk, I would have watched this drama till end no matter what, and after watching this first episode I thought I was going to have to suffer through it for my love.  Yet despite the rather slow, very moody start things picked up about episode 3. 

While the story starts off in the 70s (with very impressive sceneries & cinematography btw) about an artist's [Jang Geun Suk] love at first sight experience [w/Yoona]. It doesn't take long for things to become complicated when his best friend also falls for the same girl.

About episode 4 we are left wondering what happened to those heartbroken lovers and jilted to present day Korea where we meet their modern day counterparts..

Anyways that's where I left off and really can't tell you anymore since, well, I haven't watched it! I wouldn't say this drama is for everyone and you almost have to want to watch it for you to connect with the storyline. Still, I'm hooked and I want more.


Stay tuned for my thoughts on Fashion King, Rooftop Prince, & King 2 Hearts!

Letter to an Idol

Dear Idol, specifically Kim Hyun Joong, (but Jang Geun Suk you should listen too!)

Why have you worked so hard to make me fall in love with you on one platform only to abandon me for another...? Sure I was a late bloomer. I wasn't a fan from the get-go, so I deserve to be kept waiting. But how much more time must pass till I see you in another drama? [At this point I would even take a variety show!] Please come back soon or I'm afraid my fragile heart will soon go to another...

Sincerely,

Disgruntled Housewife

YouTube Awesomeness

These past couples of days YouTube has had some pretty cool videos and such going on so I wanted to share....


1) Jang Geun Suk has opened a YouTube channel.

This is cool considering he just shut down his twitter but also kinda weird since I thought he wanted more privacy. Whatever though. I'm still excited! His user name is PrinceJKS (not a big shocker) & currently has three videos posted. Hopefully we'll see more activity soon.


2) KPop is its own music genre on YouTube's music page!

I don't I need to say why this is cool, it just is.

Simply amazing right?

New Love :: Jang Geun Suk 장근석

He has been dominating both my kdrama playlist and my iTunes music library so it was imperative that I shared my love. While I am slowly graduating from Kdrama newbie to novice I am starting to become more familiar with some of famous actors & actresses.

 

Lee Minho ::sigh::

 Up until this point my favorite leading man has been Lee Minho [duh right? who DOESNT like him?!] One of things I love about Lee Minho, especially in City Hunter, is that his characters are always so "manly" yet totally fashionable. So what happened to cause me to fall for another Hallyu star??! A friend recommended I watch "You're Beautiful" because I'm a sucker for the romantic comedy, love triangles. So I did and I loved it! Jang Geun Suk was such cute and likable lead despite him acting totally spoiled and arrogant. What was even better is he sings in it!! :::faints::::

The only thing that kinda threw me was the aweful wardrobe he wore, though to be fair that entire series had the worst fashion of any kdrama I have seen thus far.

uh nice clothes?

Anyways, I decided to watch another one of Jang Geun Suk's dramas "Marry Me Mary."  This drama is tied with BOF as my favorite kdrama! Jang Geun Suk plays an indie artist named Mu-Gyul, a womanizer and somewhat of a hippie ,who meets a girl who makes him pretend to be her husband. Scandalous right?! Trust me, two episodes in and the drama is unbelievable! So good.

Again, another bonus to this series is he sings in it. I must admit, at first, I thought the soundtrack/OST was super corny, but as time goes on and the songs play over and over (and over and over) throughout the series you being to really love them & Jang Geun Suk's deep voice. Its pretty crazy because even when I wasn't that familiar with the songs I could still pick out his voice even when listening on my iPhone since is voice it so deep! I love it.

So now I'm officially hooked. I am now proactively looking for his other dramas and movies to watch.

So there you have it. My new love Jang keun Suk. <3
