okay... i found something i liked so much, i decided to give in and blog about it... it's kind of embarrassing because i realise i have many secret 'guilty pleasures' and one of them is: "funny love stories involving pretty people in music related themes". i gave it that long descriptive term because i need to be clear about what type of love story i like and the elements that make me like it so much! so.. i confess.. i'm a sucker for that type of thing...
so, to restart this blog entry.
i've been watching this amazing korean drama on tv lately... and have gotten so hooked i need to watch it a second time (note: it's 'need').. it has had me laughing and crying over it (well crying not so much, but i am always emotionally affected by any show that has music/musicians in it)... after seeing it on J2, the 'young tvb' channel on tv so many times, i couldn't help but got myself a copy and watched it all in the span of two nights.. yes, i slept super late to finish it haha...
it's called "You're beautiful" 미남이시네요, and is the story about a idol pop all male band that's very popular in korea, and who just had a fourth member audition to join. but unknown to most everyone else, she's actually female and is filling in for her identical twin brother while he's in america getting 'fixed up' after having messed up plastic surgery. (something like that)
there are so many reasons why i love this show..
characters: the main male character (who, without his makeup, is not someone i would really notice haha...) is styled like a hyde/gackt cross over... i am in love with his clothes (i'm not embarrassed to admit he's dressed like how fishy would normally dress) and his hair. you can see the two photos below to see what the styling team did.. first photo is from an older tv show he did, and below it, his whole look is changed. (no they don't get married, but this is one of those 'dreaming scenarios' which was hilarious)
Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung, Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shin Woo and Lee Hong Ki as Kang On Yu / Jeremy:
and the main female character is... adorable... her personality in the show and how she can pull off looking like a guy at times and not look just like a very pretty girl when she's "pretending" to be male.
it's not overly sappy, it's not boring.. but actually very funny and touching.. and best of all, the characters can all actually SING pretty well, with two of the four band members actually in a real life band. i am in love with the songs and cannot get it out of my head at all (hence, i need to blog haha..) and i really love tae kyung/jang geun suk's voice so much!
Park Shin Hye as Go Mi Nam (Male) / Go Mi Nyu (Female):
as well, they have such funny dialogue and 'dream scenarios' that make fun of/exaggerate some stereotypes in real life~ i am sent into fits of laughter randomly (like the scene about the fan fictions written about them hahaha..)~
i'm not gonna say anymore about the plot but.. i'm seriously hooked and wish it wasn't over but it is~ after 16 entertaining episodes~
after watching it, i'm reminded of how much tae kyung (the main male character) and female min nam (the main female character) are like fishy and i. not the personality but the interaction, and the story between the two of them. it makes me laugh and remember things from the past and realise the similarities.. of course fishy isn't a narcissist like tae kyung but ... i think it's just something i felt after watching it.. and i think it's why i like it so much haha... at least i know for sure, fishy will agree i am as clumsy and cause as much trouble for him as go mi nam does for tae kyung xD
i'm so glad that after watching mei-chan no shitsuji i have an even better drama to fill the void after finishing that series xD i am such a sucker for these stories and for these 'types'...(yet another 'confession').. maybe that's why i wanted to marry hyde since i was 13. =_=;
anyway... i'll stop rambling now... i'm just very hyped over this story because i was really entertained in what would have been a not so entertaining weekend xD
current mood:
silly pie ~ thanks for your love.. you helped me so much :heart: .. i've already told you about this show in my emails but i was "inspired" to write about it in detail in my blog after my emails to you haha xD love you!
this year was very rushed, and you had to finish off stuff on the day of your bday, with no 'special' lunch from your colleagues, no day off, no early off, and worst thing: you had to finish something up and left work super late..... but, hope you were a little bit surprised afterwards :D i am so thankful for this day.."
current mood: 
:D
