The Crowned Clown (Yeo Jin Goo & Lee Se Young)

I have a confession today! It seems that my admiration towards Yeo Jin Goo has leveled up! I'm in love and I think I'll marry him. lol But kidding aside, I have watched The Crowned Clown lately. It was really fantastic although it really ruined my usual routine day and night. I mean, I was really anticipating each travel time going to work, every lunch breaks, every 6PM of the day for me to enjoy watching an episode of The Crowned Clown. My officemate once said to me that I looked really tired at work due to my heavy eyebags. That made me really laugh out loud, and she actually knew the reason behind those eyebags. lol I must say though, it was a really tiring week but I'm still happy I've watched this drama.

Anyway, it's no longer new to all of you that I've become addicted to Hotel Del Luna. In fact, I still have a little of that even though I've watched The Crowned Clown. Although it was not as much as before and that's all because of this great drama. Yeo Jin Goo portraying as King is so convincing! It really fits him so well. His manly posture, voice and acts are well fitting for this kind of role. I've seen him first as a king when he did so well in Moon Embracing The Sun as young Lee Hwon. I remember reading a comment from the audience that it was his/her first time wishing for the lead characters to not grow up and just remain as a child just because the actors are portraying their roles splendidly. And I can't agree more to this sentiment!

In The Crowned Clown, Yeo Jin Goo played roles with opposite personality and status in life. He was a clown named Ha Seon that looked and sounded like his other character King Yi Heon. The King was swapped with the clown and that's where the story revolves.

Jang Man Wol's Old Photos (Hotel Del Luna)

My Hotel Del Luna craze isn't done yet. Nope, I think I'm way too far from getting over with it. Lol In fact I'm here to share a few photos I've been going crazy about. If you are into details when it comes to korean dramas then you might also be curious about the photos of Jang Man Wol hanging on her office's wall.

These are high quality photos also that you might want to use as your wallpapers. But they are too scary to be used right? I mean they are photos from the past. ww I will indicate the time which these photos were captured. It's actually indicated on the photos. I am not sure if it's part of the photos or someone just put it there. Anyway, good thing I can read a few kanji that I can translate the first few characters for you. They are just dates after all.

(This is the oldest photo of Jang Man Wol!)

Keismagic Featuring Lee Ji Eun (IU)

Finally! I'm back with doing feature entry about certain person inside my fandom world! It has been a while! But this artist isn't really new to my fandom, in fact I've known her since the early years of her acting career but she was kinda overpowered by Suzy before so I was not able to appreciate her as much. (Dream High days) But now is different! She has gained huge popularity all around the world not just as good looking, not just as a singer but as an actress as well. She's the real total package! I mean, all these traits and talents she has are above average! She's like the epitome of being a total entertainer/performer.

Anyway, I think it's all about timing. And this is the right time to appreciate her, this is the right time wherein I have so much to tell about her. It's not really a great feeling writing about something or someone that is out of your current interest, right? It's really draining, so the time back then was not right for me to write about her. But since I have rediscovered IU through the recent drama Hotel Del Luna, I've also rediscovered a new deeper appreciation towards her. And that would become my inspiration in creating this blog entry. So without further ado, let me start this precious things. I'm very much enthusiastic in writing this one.

Name: Lee Ji Eun

Birthdate: May 16, 1993

Birthplace: Songjeong-dong, Seoul

Fun Facts:

• IU signed to Loen Entertainment (now Kakao M) year 2007 as a trainee
• She then debuted September 18, 2008 with Lost Child

Hotel Del Luna (IU & Yeo Jin Goo)

This entire week I'm so hooked up with this Kdrama Hotel Del Luna and I don't think it would dissipate anytime soon. I've started watching the drama last Friday evening till Sunday morning last week and yet due to incredible attachment to the drama I've repeated it right away that Sunday afternoon. Well there was a saying that Kdramas are lovelier the second time around. lol

And as if I was the creator and producer of the drama, I'm also recommending it continuously to my officemates for them to watch. Not only that! I've been skipping my japanese studies for this madness! Ugh I can't believe this, but it's happening! 

Weathering With You

Today is a special day because today is special. lol Sometimes we do not really need any occasions to make our day special, right? Because it's up to us how we treat and see it. So in my case I always treat my day as something special and as much as possible I wanted to fill a day with something extraordinary or things/actions that would benefit my future self. But at the same time I do not want to lose having fun. Yep, we are always responsible for our own happiness.

Anyway, last night I've watched Weathering With You in the cinema with office mates. I actually do not expect anything from it because it's my first time watching an anime in the theater. The experience was really nice actually it's just that since my japanese is not that proficient yet, I find it a bit difficult to follow the animation as well as the subtitle for some time but I've adjusted as the movie progressed. Or maybe our spot was not of a good one. 

Still, the movie was so fucking great! I have this office mate that brought up about her acquaintances not liking the ending. So I was a bit anxious with it, knowing it was a Makoto Shinkai's work whose characters are not ending up together or just heartbreaking in general. (I'm speaking only in comparison to 5 centimeters per seconds and Garden of Words ofc) But as I've witnessed it, I can only clap in satisfaction. It's like finally, we have some characters who are selfish enough to fight for their love and togetherness. It's like fuck humanity we're going to live happily ever after, together. Let's forget everything else in the world! That's so majestic. lol 

A Werewolf Boy (Song Joong Ki & Park Bo Young)

So I have watched a Korean Movie called "A Werewolf Boy" starring Song Joong Ki & Park Bo Young and dang it! I'm such a crybaby, I seriously cried for that one. lol It all started all so cute and Song Joong Ki you fucking adorable guy! I want you as my pet from now on!

But kidding aside, I am so grateful for myself for not deleting this blog because at times like this I know where to pour out my overflowing emotions after watching a movie! It has been a while that I actually find myself watching a korean movie or whatsoever related to fandom dramas/movies. It's all thanks to facebook clips that teased me to check out the movie! Damn it Song Joong Ki, I'm in love! hahaha! *fangirl reborn

For me, the movie was really fantastic considering that the story was revolving around finding someone that would bring out the best version of you. Soon-Yi (played by Park Bo Young) finally able to refrain herself from looking at the negative side of her life and focus on the bright side along with Chul-Soo (played by Song Joong Ki). It's nice to see the character development of the female protagonist as well as the male protagonist up until the end. Well, Joongki portraying a loyal dog (wolf) surely made all his fans lose their shits.

What made this movie so special is that, we're finally able to realize how fucking loyal our dogs are. Hachiko aside, of course. lol Even if the movie was a fantasy one, it still is able to connect to me not in a owner-dog thing but rather the emotions that the scenes depicted. Like what I've mentioned first, the change of perspective from the protagonist. Second the feeling of able to find someone that would stay with you all the way of your life. Despite the distance and the time involved. This one is a bit idealistic and I bet my life that this situation would never happen in reality. But somehow we have the idea growing from the back of our minds, the what if thing. Or maybe I'm just delusional. lol Third would be the kindness overflowing from the characters, except the bastard Ji-Tae (played by Yoo Yeon Seok). I was expecting that due to Chul-Soo's violent actions, the family of Soon-Yi and the neighborhood would create a union to oust the wolf from the village. Just like the usual antagonists thing, but it did not happen. Instead, they did not judge him right away instead they waited to really witness the violence before actually making a move. If it weren't because of the jealousy and ego of Ji-Tae, everything would have ended really well. But unfortunately, I'm not the writer. lol
Despite the cutesy and the loyalty of the wolf boy to his owner, they aren't just meant to be together. And it is manifested by the fact that the girl had moved on and was able to create or do wonderful things even without Chul-Soo. And by the fact that Soon Yi has repeatedly hurt Chul-Soo by leaving him alone again and again just meant that the love was not really meant to be. And I kinda pity Chul-Soo for that.
