hmm...
i first saw wu chun through this drama...
i watched this before i started watching hana kimi tw and tokyo juliet...
it had a very strong start...
i mean, i was really attached to this drama...
i would (im)patiently wait for the next episode week by week...
but when i got to the latter part, it got draggy and i started getting bored with it.
this vacation, i told myself to finish it.
well, i'm glad i did.
it was still good.
maybe i was just expecting too much from it and the turn of events weren't fit to my liking...
anyway, i thought this is great, i loved it and that's that.

.my name is kim sam-soon.

a.k.a. my lovely sam-soon

[drama]



synopsis:

Kim Sam Soon (Kim Sun Ah) is a baker who has a talent in making pastries and cakes. On Christmas Eve, she caught her boyfriend, Min Hyun Woo (Lee Kyu Han), cheating on her and breaks up on the same night. On that same night, she accidentally went into the men's restroom and met Hyun Jin Hun (Hyun Bin), a somewhat callous fellow but sometimes considerate guy. By sheer coincidence, Jin Hun needs a baker for his restaurant Bon Appetit and Sam Soon is unemployed. Sam Soon is hired as the restaurant's chief baker and the two fights like cat and dog. Nevertheless, they started to have feeling for each other and Sam Soon agreed to post as Jin Hun's girlfriend so his mother would leave him alone. Things got complicated when Jin Hun's ex-girlfriend Yoo Hee Jin came back from the States intending to win him back.

i can't believe i only watched this now...
hyun bin is really the man!
hottie!~
anyway, i love this drama because the romance was great and it was really funny...
i loved how it ended and i'm really satisfied with everything about this drama...
there's a rumor that they'll be doing a remake of this drama- filipino version.
urgh! i'm sorry to all of regine v.'s fans but i really don't think she fits the role...
i hope they don't spoil the story...

i've been watching this for a long time now...
i think i watched it for the whole second semester...
it took me so long, not because it wasn't good.
it WAS good.
it was funny and the romance? love it!~
it took me so long to finish the drama because i have this habit of watching too many dramas at one time...
haha...
anyway, i'm glad i finished it...
it ended the way i wanted it to.
i mean, bong-soon (eugene) ended up with who i wanted her to be...
yay...

synopsis:

Three high school kids try to form their own hip hop band with hilarious results in this intensely likeable, feel good teen comedy from director Rieko Miyamoto.

i view:

well, i wouldn't say it's one of the bests...
i wouldn't say it's the worst either...
it's not something to look forward to but also not something that would kill you to watch.
when you have nothing to do, maybe you can try watching this movie.
it's not highly recommended but i don't discourage people to watch it.
it's not as good as others but not as bad as crap either.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that, for me, it's a so-so movie...
