Well, this is my first blog post written from my Blackberry. Though I've had my blackberry for quite some time now, I've never thought to write my blog on it. Until now. How useful! I'll now be able to blog anywhere at all :D
Well, I don't blog much anyways, but yeah. Maybe I'll blog more now? Who knows.

Anyways, I've just realized the degree of shame of becoming what I've been turning into.
A Korean freak.
Well, you know what? I don't care. Sorta.
Korea has provided me with hours and hours and hours of entertainment. A new world I'd never dream of otherwise. Sigh.
Yes, I've transitioned. I'm even standing up for their entertainment industry.

Anyways, speaking of their entertainment industry, guess what I did this holiday!
Well yeah, what else could I have done but spend countless hours in front of my laptop watching episode after episode of drama after drama?
Hahahahhahahahahaha yes. I have no life.

Well, this holiday, I managed to watch; Coffee House, Prosecutor Princess, Oh! My Lady, and I'm currently watching Hong Gil Dong, and the Man Who Can't Get Married.
I bet I'm going to stop watching 'The Man Who Can't Get Married' very soon.
Why? There's no depth. It doesn't entertain me as much.
It's almost like the drama 'Oh! My Lady' which watched and managed to finish while gritting my teeth. Well at least there was some eye candy in that. SiWon! :S God, I'm not even a SuJu fan.
What was worth the watch? DEFINITELY Prosecutor Princess. Definitely. Coffee House too I guess... Yeah sort of. I love Kang Ji Hwan, so it's a little personal. But yes. Both were BRILLIANT.
Ok, It's like past 1AM right now and I have to get up for the first day back at school in a few hours, so let me make this quick.

*May contain spoilers*
1) Coffee House.
If you ask me, they should have just stuck with the name 'Page One'. It really suits the drama more. But wonderful. I loved all the comedy. And I loved the way they made the character 'Lee Jin Soo' so complex, intruiging, entertaining, and so so so awesome. The way he was portrayed by Kang Ji Hwan was amazing. He totally sold me to the drama.
I loved his image and his slighty psychopathic thinking. But I dislike *SPOILER how he becomes less psychotic towards the end (perhaps due to the viewers uncovering the reason for his strange behaviour and actually seeing sense in it?) and also how his image changes at the end. Bad hairdo. Still a handsome face though. The ending was okay, but because of the first half, they sort of sold me to a couple which wouldn't become hence, it was a little disappointing* Great acting. By both Kang Ji Hwan and Park Si Yeon.
Rating: 3 and a half stars? If that's a little harsh, say 4 stars? But I think it's a bit too high. How about 3.75 stars?

You know what I learned this holiday? If you don't know who the lead in a drama will end up with in a romance drama, just check the cast. It'll usually be the second name. The first name'd be the lead protagonist.
Sigh.
Well before I carry on about 'Prosecutor Princess'; I found what these 2 dramas had in common. I didn't know who the lead would end up with until like 1/2 the drama passed! In most romantic comedies, you'd know right away. Well it was fun and exciting watching while crossing your fingers hoping that your favourite guy would make the cut. Hohoho.
Ok, now, Prosecutor Princess.

2) Prosecutor Princess: So when I first heard of this drama a long time ago, I didn't think that I'd actually take the time to watch it. But I did. And boy am I glad I did. BRILLIANT. Both the main leads did splendid. Splendid. I loved it. I thought this drama would be about some rich bratty girl who becomes a prosecutor and yeah, everything along the lines of 'Legally Blonde'. Well, let me tell you, it's so much more.
It's about the development of this initially bratty girl. And yeah. How she develops humanity while still being able to stay awesome. And the plot, great.
At first it was all mysterious, and you'd continue watching out of curiousity, but then when the smoke starts to clear, you'll see how everything gels together beautifully.
Well done. Praise to Park Shi Hoo and Kim So Yeon. I think I might even watch it again in the far future after I stop thinking about it. And after I've started to forget the story.
Rating: 4 and a 1/2 stars. I can say that as far as I remember, I was thoroughly entertained and always anticipated the next episode.

Okay. :D Just some thoughts.
Goodnight all.
