Jae Hee, one word ... GORGEOUS.

Since I just finished watching Delightful Girl Choon Hyang. I decided to make a banner for it. Well...okay, I decided to make a banner of Jae Hee. At first, his character in the beginning of the drama was a bit snotty and mean. However, as the drama continues on, he begins to mature and soften up. Especially at the ending, boy can he really work those glasses and a suit real well!

So, with that, I was experimenting with a coloring tutorial and came up with this. Not my best work, but I'm satisfied and I'm here to share with you all!

I'm watching One percent of Anything. I'll be sure to post the reviews up for Autumn in my Heart & Delightful Girl Choon Hyang as soon as I'm finished with this drama.

~ Taaa taaa!

Quick Update!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Even though I'm a few days late. I hope everyone was spoiled by their significant other and that you spoiled your significant other as well. <3 Have fun eating those sweets and don't forget to brush & floss!

I'm sick. I'm coughing, I have a sore/dry throat and a running nose. Ugh, some weekend, also - family problems have arised. Let's not get into that for I don't have that time nor the energy to do so. Thank goodness it's a 3 day weekend, hopefully I can rest up and get well by Tuesday.

I have another drama to post my reviews on, Tree of Heaven. Google it, Wikipedia it, whatever; good drama - sad ending. I dislike sad dramas - which is why I stick to the light, fluffy dramas!

Currently watching Delightful Girl Choon Hyang, if I finish this before Tuesday. I'll post the links and my commentary to this drama. It's like a mix of Goong, Full House and Smiling Pasta. It's rather cute. <3

All right, I'm off to continue watching this drama. Barely on episode 5 and there's about 16 or 17 episodes all together. So.. ~ ta ta.

Full House

Cast:
• Song Hye Kyo as Han Ji Eun
• Bi (Rain) as Lee Young-Jae
• Han Eun Jung as Kang Hye Won
• Kim Sung Soo as Yoo Min Hyuk

Synopsis (Provided by Wikipedia):
A naive, cheerful albeit, somewhat of a recluse writer, Han Ji Eun is swindled out of everything she owns. Not by strangers, but her best friends! Stranded in China, she is determined to get home with the help of an actor, Lee Young Jae. She borrows money from him after coming up with a clever lie and plans to pay him back after landing in Korea, only to find that all which is precious to her has been sold. In an attempt to get her possessions back, she has entered in a contract marriage with Young Jae for three months. It is quite simple, until strong feelings start to develop. Everyone around them test the "love" Young Jae and Ji Eun have for one another.

In spite of it all, Ji Eun manages to be humorous and endearing - even when her heart is breaking.

Personal Rating: (3 out of 5)
= All right to watch if you have nothing to do.

Personal Commentary:
So my first Korean Drama, I was suggested this drama by a friend. Even though it was more laughs than 'aw`s' I guess it was all right. I wasn't impressed by the chemistry the two leads had with one another. After completing this drama, I decided the only reason why I agreed to watch it was because its sort of like Smiling Pasta, the Taiwanese Drama. The basic story plot was similar; a celebrity male marries a regular female. Even though at the beginning, both thought they would never fall for each other; throughout their time being married the two develop feelings for each other. However, they must overcome past crushes, former boyfriends and girlfriends. I reasoned that I liked Smiling Pasta way more, although the dance in this drama was just as cute as the one in Smiling Pasta!

It Started With A Kiss

Cast:
• Joe Cheng as Jiang Zhi
• Ariel Lin as Yuan Xiang Qin

Synopsis (Provided by Wikipedia):
After an earthquake destroyed Xiang Qin's house, she and her father move in with her father's college buddy, uncle Ahli. To her surprise, the kind and amicable aunt and uncle are the parents of her cold and distant schoolmate Jiang Zhi Shu, a genius with an IQ of 200 whom not too long ago rejected Xiang Qin's endless crush on him for the reason that she isn't exactly very bright. Will the close proximity give her a second chance to win the boy's heart? Or, will she break down under his cold, cold words?

Personal Rating: (3 out of 5)
= Kind-of, sort-of kept my attention.

Personal Commentary:
Although this series contained the light, fluffy stuff I'm usually into it. I found it a turn off to me. I ended up skipping through many of the episodes because of the slow pace. However, I'm pretty glad I did watch this drama because this is the first drama I watched where Ariel Lin starred in; so I guess that's a plus to watching this.

Goong is a story about young love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. In the imaginery world, Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with a startling diagnosis that the King is terminally ill. Faced with the decreasing popularity among the public for the Royalty, a grand wedding for the Crown Prince, Lee Shin (Joo Ji Hoon), is decided to be the best publicity move to improve the image of the Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae-gyung (Yoon Eun Hye) that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae-gyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin's grandfather.

After 14 years of living in England with his mom, Lee Yul (Kim Jeong Hoon) appears all of a sudden. He is Shin's cousin as well as the former Crown Prince. Everything seemed to be going normally until Chae-gyung's optimistic spirit wins the heart of internally lonely, Yul. As the Crown Prince Shin and simple-minded Chae-gyung's relationship appear to developing deeper feelings, a series of scandals are exposed to the public right after the pair were officially announced married. Will love prevail all in a world of political pressures and martial hardships? Or will being in the spotlight of the public be too much for the young newlyweds to endure?

Personal Rating: (5 out of 5)
= Totally worth watching!

Personal Commentary:
I wasn't sure if I would like this drama when I first started watching it, but after looking up the summary about it I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, I was hooked after the first or second episode. Downloading it was worth it, in my opinion. YEH's (Yoon Eun Hye) acting was superb even though she's new to it. Her on-screen performance with JJH (Joo Ji Hoon) was cute to watch. Although they extended the series to four more episodes, they originally decided for it to have 20 episodes, but with it's sudden high-ratings they're extended it. They were a drag in my opinion, but I don't care now. I was bummed out when I finished the series and I still find myself re-watching their cute moments.
