Day 87 of JM's US Detachment Trip

It had been a while since I last wrote. In fact, I had spent lesser time at the computer ever since I started watching 花样男子 (Boys over Flowers). After that show, somehow the drama bug had gotten into me and drama is all I could think of once the kids are asleep. It was a pretty good way to waste away hours at night other than facing the computer :)

I guess I had an overdosed of drama and I think it is time to slow down or stop for awhile for now. And hence ... I AM BACK ... ranting away :p

Life's pretty 'normal' during these days anyway. Nothing out of the routine happened other than Oswald's school trip to the Neighbourhood Police Station on 26th Aug 2009.

After his visit to the police station ... he told me he want to be a POLICE MAN!!!

Drama - 咖啡王子1号店 (The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince)

After watching Boys over Flowers, I got hooked to korean drama.

咖啡王子1号店 was aired on Channel U quite sometime back but did not have a chance to watched it back then. Also, recommend by the rental shop people, I decided to give it a try. I ended up watching the whole serial faster than I thought.

The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy. With a foolish mother and the need to look after her younger sister, "pretty boy" Go Eun Chan has to give up her feminine image to help support the family with multiple jobs.

Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo), seems to know women well and thinks of himself as a great guy, is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him.

After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"?

Drama - 花样男子 (Boys over Flowers)

Got to know this drama when it was aired on Channel U. Clips of the show on TV kinda caught my attention and so it bacame one of my to-watch drama. Maybe I am a sucker for fantasy love story ... but I was addicted to the show the moment I started it. I'd completed this 25 episode drama in 4 nights!!!

This is a Korean remake drama adapted from a popular Japanese manga. This is the equivalent of the Japan’s Hana Yori Dango (TV Series) and the Taiwanese drama 流星花园 (Meteor Garden) (TV Series).

Geum Jan-Di is an average girl whose family owns a dry cleaning store located near the luxurious and well known Shin Hwa College. Jan Di meets the four richest and most spoiled boys known as the F4. After saving a boy from jumping off the roof of Shinhwa High School, she is admitted into the school on a swimming scholarship. Jan Di tries to avoid confrontation with the F4 at all cost because she knows what happens to those that stand against them. However, when Jan Di’s friend, Oh Min Ji, accidentally gets ice cream on the leader of the F4’s shoes, she’s forced to declare war on the leader of the F4, Goo Joon Pyo.

Ironically, Gu Jun Pyo, having never been stood up to, begins to develop feelings for her. He tries unsuccessfully to woo her as she slowly begins to spend more time with Jun Pyo and his friends. Jan Di teaches Jun Pyo that money cannot buy everything and in order to have real friends, he himself must be real or use his heart, but Gu Jun Pyo still does not understand why someone like Jan Di should dislike him. As the story progresses, Jun Pyo falls deeper in love with Jan Di and she learns how to open herself to his love as well.

As love begins to blossom, Jun Pyo’s mother discovers them and deems it unsuitable. She does everything in her power to keep the two apart, even arranging a marriage for Jun Pyo. Other factors keep arising as another member of the group falls in love with Jan Di and in a twist of fate, Jun Pyo loses his memory. In the end, however, Gu Jun Pyo and Jan Di learn that love conquers all and that they are truly soul mates.
