About this blog.....

I am writing here is just to have fun in writing. Also, the main reason is to sharpened my English vocab but this my writing in here will not follow the proper English grammar though.

Also, I want to share and tell something that is my interest in Japan and Korean drama or dorama and their songs. However it is just a simple review. And for the record, I'm trying really hard to avoid any spoiler in my review though.

Also, ALL of this writing is from me. Every inch of the writing is my idea, non is copied from anywhere except the special quote from 1 Litre of Tears, I got it from the drama itself.

One more important thing, all this review and synopsis is not a professionally one. It's mainly for fun and cause I love Japan's and Korea's drama and have a hell lot of free time.

Sad Movie (Movie)-2005

Another movie that most viewer recommended.The title itself actually has described it, this is really a sad movie. The storyline is also quite unique though cause this movie consist 4 different story about love. 1 of them is showing a beautiful story about a mother love toward her son.

The movie consist of 4 different love story. The first one is about a fire fighter, Jin-Woo played by Jung Woo Sung , and his lover, Su Jung (Im Soo Jung), who works in a TV station as a translator for the mute and always practice mute language with her mute sister, Su-eun. Su Jung meanwhile wants Jin-Woo to step down his job as a fireman as it's risking his life. She always hopes that every time he faced with a dangerous fire fighting situation, he thinking about her, before barge into danger.

The second story is about Su Jung little sister, Su-eun (Shin Min Ah), a mute teenager who works as a costume character in theme park. She have a burn scar in her cheek due to fire incident but saved by a fireman, Jin-Woo, who later dating her sister, Su Jung. She has secretly had feelings for a painter, Sang-Gyu (Lee Ki Woo) who also works there. However, she resist to take her mask of her in front of him eventhough he wanted to see her face.

The third story is about Ha-Seok ( Cha Tae Hyun) who is dating with Suk-Hyun played by Son Te Young , who is actually the wife of Kwon Sang Woo (Yup, the Stairway To Heaven actor). They both have been together for about three years, however Suk-Hyun is somehow unhappy and demand a break up because in three years being together, Ha-Seok is still unemployed and have unstable life. Ha-Seok then formed Separation Agency which is online, and worked by helping other couple to break up by informing to them face to face. He hopes to gain back Suk-Hyun trust by this way.

The last story is the most beautiful story. It's about a mother, Ju Yung (Yum Jum Ah), who has problem with her son Hwi-chan (Yeo Jin Goo) as she always busy with working.She then had a car accident and have to stayed in the hospital. During her time here, they become more understanding toward each other have have more time to spend together. Hwi-chan then has found her mother diary by accident and knows how hard does a mother work to raised a child. Unfortunately, she is then has been diagnosed with cancer.

Four different stories with each story has it's own unique tale. A very impressive movie though. Usually, this kind of movie, a multiple story in one movie, really boring cause the story cannot being told well in two hours. But then, this movie is just have a great touching, the songs were also nice, the scene were played really well and the storyline is superb.

A movie that really worth watching.

My Girl and I (Movie)-2005

I've founded this movie by coincidence actually. While I was browsing around looking for a good movie, I saw the this movie poster and recognize Cha Tae-Hyun is the main actor and the main actress is Song Hye-Kyo,the main actress in popular drama Autumn in My Heart and Full House. This two names is the main reasons for me to watch it.

The story started with Kim Su Ho(Cha Tae-Hyun) who came back to his hometown for his school friends reunion after his absentees in their reunion celebration in the last 10 years. They then were brought at the lighthouse near a sea. One of Su Ho friends then screams to the sea "Bae Su-eun, my friend's brain is small but is filled with endless thoughts of you. Please let my friend go." Su Ho becomes emotional and starts to cry.

The scene then change and showed Bae Su-eun (Song Hye-Kyo) saving Su Ho from drowning,then just left him there. He regain consciousness and thought that his friends who has saved him. At school, Su-eun is considered one of the prettiest girl in school and also is the classmate of Su Ho. She then told him that she is the one who saved him from drowning that day.

Starting that day, they became a couple and have created many beautiful memories together. In this movie, there is also a special story told by Su Ho grandfather that is about his first love in his young days. Su Ho and Su-eun also have made a special trip together at Fog Island. However, just when their happy story just started,something happened to Su-eun...

This movie is actually is great though as it also told us about the beautiful story of love and life in after world. Su Ho's grandfather touching first love story is also spectacular as it is added the greatness element in this wonderful story. And as always, there is also some funny scene that has made the movie greater..

Overall, I would say this movie is great and the story is performed very well.

My ratings 7/10

Windstruck (Movie)-2004

This movie is starring by Jeon Ji-hyeon, the one that also played as The Girl in My Sassy Girl. The director is also the one who directing My Sassy Girl and there is also Cha Tae-hyun but only for guest appearance. This movie is said to be the companion of My Sassy Girl.After watching the movie, I'm quite agree with that. The story really is like another version of My Sassy Girl.

The story is begin with Gyeong Jin, a tough young policewomen (Just like My Sassy Girl) who accidentally in scene where an old lady bag is snatched. Even though she is off-duty, she is still trying to caught the culprit but have gotten the wrong man, a high school teacher, Myung Woo played by Jang Hyuk. Myung Woo somehow have successfully cleared his name after has proved innocent.

A few days later, Myung Woo has volunteered a 'community service' at with the police but only to learn that his unluckily partner is Gyeong Jin. An very hilarious incident happened that has brought to both of them were handcuffed together overnight. From there, the weird relationship continues with many funny incident, but then an incident happened that have changed everything...

For me, this movie is very funny indeed. The first hour is just hilarious but the last hour is a little bit tragic and serious. So there you go, a funny and sad movie. Quite hard to find though. Overall, an entertaining movie. It's maybe just too hilarious to be a sad movie. Compared to My Sassy Girl, I think both were great but I prefer My Sassy Girl a little bit more.

Sky of Love/Koizora (Movie)-2007

This movie is adapted from cell phone novel that have touched millions of readers. Annnnndddd agaaaaiiiiinnnn people see this movie as great and comment that the story makes them cried. Yeah, maybe after you watched a masterpiece like 1 Litre of Tears, then you see that film of this quality is just plain normal.

Ugh, nothing to be review, the story, especially the acting, makes me lost any moods to write.

But maybe this comment from silentregrets.com would tell you why...

First of all, this movie teaches girls to be cheap and easily taken advantage of by guys.
And it teaches guys to treat girls like expandable toys.

Way to go. NOT

Also,each time when Hiro, the male main actor, he is always lie down at the hospital he didn't expressed right of a person who is sick. It's like he gonna jump right of the bed happily anytime soon.

A Moment to Remember (Movie)-2004

The story is about a girl, Su Jin, who have met with a dude, Choi Chul Soo by coincidence due to her forgetfulness. They then somehow has gotten permission from Su Jin stubborn dad to married.

They have begun their married life together happily, until she is diagnosed with Alzheimer disease. Alzheimer is a disease which will affect the patient memories slowly until the day that she will even forget who they are. Chul Soo know that one day, she will forget their relationship, but he is not willing to give up.

Again, I've done some research to find a good movie and discovered some new story, including this movie. Overall, I would say it's a great movie though. The acting is great, the funny,romantic scenes were also great. But there is some unanswered questions that keeps bugging me. Oh well, still a good movie to be watch.
