Princess's Man

I have finished watching Secret Garden and am now proceeding to fall in love with The Princess's Man! :) Frankly, I was kind of upset when I bought the drama and it had chinese subs, but I got over it now and am enjoying every bit of the drama! The drama is EPIC AND REALLY GOOD. It's very moving, with every moment put in its correct place. The characters are very real as well; you don't really hate all the bad guys because you see that they have their own reasons for doing so and essentially, we know that they have a human side to them as well.

And after watching this drama, I am actually starting to like Park Shi Hoo (the guy). YEP. I used to hate him because he was like this extra guy in Iljimae HAHAHAH. But I just realised how good his acting chops are! After watching this drama, you will definitely fall in love with him!! My perception of him is totally changed!

I also started taking notice of this girl: Moon Chae Rin <3 p="p">

She acts really well in this show. And when she's weeping, it really comes naturally to her; it's not like those shows where I shout out at the girl and tell her to stop crying and start doing something. I love that her character is very strong-willed as well. She actually DOES something in the drama that contributes to the plot, which usually does not happen because 'girls are weak yadah yadah'. So this drama did a really good job of writing her character.

Oh, she's going to act in Nice Guy with Song Joong Ki too!! Goodie!! :DD I shall keep an eye out for her :D

Haha, fan girling here~!

Oh and I LOVE THE OST OF PRINCESS'S MAN. Baek Ji Young sang the ost of Princess's man too!!!! (Same person who sang ost of Secret Garden) I ACTUALLY GUESSED THAT SHE SANG IT. Because it's so her style and the voice sounds the same. She's a really good singer!

Meanwhile, I finally finished my analysis of the Long Telegram.

George Kennan should learn to summarize. Why waste that much time and ink and make students' lives difficult?!!! D: 

And my group got into NEmation top 100!! :D

After CTs!

Common tests are finally over!! Yippee! :D

I swear that the CTs have actually had some kind of stress effect on me. Because I am currently having this annoying pimple breakout. And by breakout, I really mean breakout! GAH. It's very painful :(

I think that my whole life is just revolving around studies, tests and formulas.
CTs
After CTs
EOYS (in about 6 weeks =.= seriously?!)
After EOYs
O-level HCL

Only after O-level HCL can I truly be free...
Haiz.

Anyway, I had a 4K class lunch today to celebrate the end of CTs! An amazing amount of people turned up = 18! That is more than half the class, which is a miracle already. We ate at Astons (did not order the spaghetti this time!). I was stuck at the end, again. Haha. Elaine, Dion, Zixin and Clarissa made it interesting for me though :)
Afterwards, we kind of camped at a staircase nearby because we could not decide where to go. All of us took turns buying Goong Cha, which was funny because the longer we took to discuss, the more people went to buy goong cha. Me too haha.
A few of them eventually decided to go Jaime's house. I was hesitating but decided not to go since it would be quite inconvenient for me to go home later. I then window shopped with Elaine, Beatriz, Huiyi and Dion for a while. It was quite interesting actually going around to see all the high-heel shoes. Yeah, THAT WAS BASICALLY ALL WE WERE DOING AHAHAHAHA. But I got bored after a while. I then left while they continued to shop.

So I thought I would have plenty of time when I went home, but I don't know what happened. After I got out of my shower, it was ALREADY 6. My eyes just went O_O. And I actually checked the clock at my dining hall against the one in my bedroom to make sure it was working properly. That was how surprised I was. Time slip haha.

I read a little of Wuthering Heights - aiming to finish it this week if possible, seeing that CTs are over.
I have just been reading the synopsis about A LOT of korean dramas. I wanna watch The King 2 Hearts. It looks awesome :) So I started the 'research' because there is a sale of korean dramas at compasspoint and I wanna know which dramas are good so that I can buy them. Yep, I know, totally not the right reason to 'research'. hahah.

Hmm... tomorrow will be a long school day - ends at 4.15pm.
Dreading it. Yep. Totally dreading it. The day after CTs should be a holiday. (being self-delusional here)
Gonna watch Secret Garden now <3 p="p">

Hyun Bin

As seen from the title, this blog post is going to be about me spazzing over Hyun Bin. If you don't know who he is, he acts in the korean drama Secret Garden.

And.... official spamming of his pictures begin!

 

So, anyway, he's not bad looking right??? :D

When I first watched Secret Garden, frankly, I thought his character was being really annoying. His character is Joo-won, a rich guy who unexpectedly falls for a poor girl who's a stunt woman. They are at opposite ends of the social spectrum. He's the CEO of a big shopping mall!

Basically, Joo-won chases after Ra-im (the girl, acted by Ha Ji Won)! He WOOS her, to put it more accurately. However, he does it in the way which seems as if he is not wooing her. Okay, this sounds confusing. To put it simply, he is wooing her, but denies doing it. 

Some parts of the drama are really sweet. Actually, I find his character rather pitiful because he is always misunderstood by Ra-im.

Their feelings are mutual though, that much I can ascertain heehee.

As the drama goes on, I am liking him more and more!! <3 p="p">

There is this part in episode 9, where Ra-im told him that she cannot be his little mermaid (apparently that's Joo-won's favourite story) because the mermaid loved the prince dearly AKA she does not love him. Hyun Bin managed to act VERY well at this part because he looked genuinely hurt and heartbroken!! My heart went out to him at that very moment because he JUST SAID THAT THEY WOULD STILL BE TOGETHER. D': Ra-im, how can you do this?!
Ra-im then left. The lift door was about to close, but (as always in dramas) Joo-won stops the lift doors. He wants to go in, but stops, because HE IS CLAUSTROPHOBIC!! WHYYYYY. But Ra-im doesn't know! So when Joo-won tells her to come out instead (when you chase after a girl, you are supposed to go into the elevator WITH her), she takes this as a sign that he still does not respect her/is not serious about her. So, she just presses the close button. THE LIFT DOORS CLOSE IN JOO-WON'S FACE.
Omg, his face was just HURT. I don't know if he was tearing, but it seemed like he did.

This was his expression as the doors closed:

Sequence of what happened;

And when he ran down the stairs to find her, she was gone.

MY HEART JUST WENT OUT TO HIM. IF ONLY SHE KNEW WHY HE COULD NOT COME INTO THE LIFT!

It is not often that I get that fuzzy feeling from watching a drama, but this drama nailed it.

So yeap, Hyun Bin is just this sweet awkward guy in this show. The quotes of the drama are very meaningful too!!

If the drama proves to be really really good (which it is now), I might buy the whole episode after my exams :))
Anyway, Hyun Bin is in the army now D: He is going to be released at the end of this year, haha :)

Okay, common tests are next week (and here I am) so jiayous to myself and everyone else!!
