咖啡王子1号店 Coffee Prince

Was in no mood to do anything except watch my korean drama serial, Coffee Prince, for the past week. Literally spent all my free time on the show, finished the 16 episodes in 6 days!

Started on the show cos the reviews for 尹恩惠's acting (the female lead in 宫S) was great. In the show, she's a tomboy who's mistaken by the male lead to be a guy. The 2 became friends, girl fell in love with guy, guy fell in love & thought he had became a gay. To muddy up the waters, handsome 2nd male lead had crush on female lead, 1st male lead secretly loving beautiful 2nd female lead for 7 years. In the end, 2 loving couples with happy ending, of course!

In fact, the show is on a happier note than I expected from the usual korean shows. The focus is more on the sweetness & happiness of the love between the couples.

尹恩惠 was really quite cute in the show, very impressive, the way she gobbled her food with her foot on the bench, no wonder the male lead mistaken her to be a guy! (though looks wise, hubby said it's obvious she's a girl.)

Loved all the other actors & the 2nd female lead 蔡貞安 in the show. Male lead 孔侑 not really my type in looks - 2nd male lead 李善均 is soooooo much more dashing! - but to see him in love, can't helping liking the guy!
And the other 3 'coffee princes' in the show also very cute! 2 of them are actually models, 1st time acting!

Unfortunately couldn't find a reasonable preview of the show on YouTube. Have to settle on this official MTV:

My Girl

Woke up with the opening theme song to the korean drama serial, My Girl, in my head.



Maybe cos heard the song being played in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf while we lunched upon arrival in LCCT, KL yesterday.

Maybe cos have rushed to re-watch the entire show on vcd in 5 days last week. Literally sacrificed my sleep to finish the romantic comedy!

Was triggered by the trailers on Channel U in Singapore, since they just started to screen it on weekends. I knew I've watched & enjoyed the show, but just couldn't remember the whole story line, so I whipped out my vcd & went through the love story again.

Basically, the female lead posed as the fake cousin of the male lead upon his request, to fulfill the dying wish of his grandfather. Turns out that the grandfather was so happy to find his long-lost granddaughter, he recovered from his stroke. So the act has to continue. Meanwhile, the 2 leads fall in love with each other, but being 'cousins' they can't admit so. Plus 2nd male & female leads to muddy the waters. The drama unfolds.........

Love the handsome male lead! ;)

Love the songs in the show too! Not just the opening theme, but also this one:



Oh, literally melt when hear this song played while the male lead is torn between his love for the female lead & his beloved (though autocratic) grandfather!

P.S. The rest of the OST, I've compiled into a playlist on my YouTube channel.

ISWAK 2

Couldn't assess my fav Taiwanese idol dramas while in Singapore.

And I had gotten totally hooked on the latest offering: 惡作劇2吻 (It Started With A Kiss 2).

So was desparate enough to watch the episode 9 on YouTube.

Was the 1st time I had to watch such a long show on YouTube. Luckily found a good source, the show only divided into 7 parts (some versions I saw had 10 portions), & most of the breaks coincided with the show's commercial break, so had quite an enjoyable time.

The trailer for the episode that triggered my craze:


Now waiting impatiently for episode 10...........

Shouldn't have watched a currently-showing drama..........such a difficult wait!!!!!!! But then, had enjoyed the 惡作劇之吻 a lot, so really couldn't wait to watch this sequel!!!!

In fact, missed the show so much, had rewatched part of my vcds in attempt to quench my 'thirst'!!!! ;)
