Drama Challenge Day 25: Your First Drama

My first Drama would probably be the Japanese verison of Hana Kimi! I remember browsing the internet when I came across the video for it! Last year was when I started. Sigh.


When I saw my best friend I introduced her to the drama and she loved it! This drama gave me tons of great memories I can live with! The characters were memorable! This drama gave me the reason to watch Korean and Japanese dramas.

Arigatou~!!

I'm really sorry!! I'm late by a week......oh well. Don't blame me, I had exams to worry about! I only had one but who cares! One Math final exam is extremely stressing to worry about! Oh! School is over now! WHOO HOO! Summer is taking its course and I get to sleep in and watch alot of stuff! :D :D

Pfft! I watched several drama's more than once! Here's my list. I love all of them and theres a reason why I watch them more than once, they are amazing! ^_^








Arigatou~!!

Cardfight!! Vanguard Drama!!

Whoa!!! I'm freaking out.........I never knew that something like this would become a drama......wow, just wow. I just found out last night! I was at a friends house and we were cruising on the internet when I caught a glimpse of Cardfight!! Vanguard. At first, I thought it was an anime, but it wasn't!

Cardfight!! Vanguard: Official Trailer



The storyline is a tad different of course but its all about cards. I'm such a geek. Don't blame me, I actually enjoyed watching the first episode. There isn't the character Aichi or Kai. The characters are completely different with a different story. Its interesting. If you want to read the anime version of the recommendation, read it here. Just so you know, theres a new season. I love it so much! Or read the drama versions below. :D

Title: Cardfight!! Vanguard Live Action
Genres: Comedy, Action, Drama
Age Rating: 13+ Teen
Status: Completed

Summary: The story revolves around a timid boy named Hiroki. He is encountered by bullies one day and a mysterious man named Daigo came and "saved" him. The next day, Daigo appears once again but as a Special teacher. Each day, Daigo tries to help Hiroki build confidence and participate in Vaguard fights.


Hiroki-kun is so cute when he smiles!! :D


This is Daigo. He is quite hot! I don't know he is played by........I really want to know! To the internet! Ok, I found out that Daigo is actually from the band Breakerz.

I wish they used more effects. It seemed........a bit blank and not very thrilling if there wasn't any effects. Thats just me. :D

Arigatou~!!

Drama Challenge Day 8: Your Favorite Line/s by a Female Lead Character

This is going to hard..........I can't remember some of them!!! I'll just one that is my absoloute favorite because I'm kinda feeling lazy and I need to do homework. I'm such a loser.

This quote was just for fun! I really love this one!! I'll do a recommendation at the end of this post!.....hopefully. I'm really busy and its raining...........thunder is scary!!!! I'm sorry for being a wimp but I am really terrified of thunder. Sigh. > x < Maybe next post!

Dream High

Music is the most common language in the world.”Teacher Kang


Oh!! I totally missed a quote from "Your Favorite Line/s by a Male Lead Character". Here it is.......if you don't mind! :D

Hungry!

“I have a dream. My dream is to move someone’s heart with something I make, to make the people I love smile. I might not be able to make this dream of mine come true with music. But I will make it happen in this very restaurant.”Eisuke

Maybe a couple more...I just realized I had more awesome quotes while rewatching my favorite dramas!

Warrior Baek Dong Soo


"Just remember one thing – I… can never give up on you, I will never give up.”Dong Soo

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop


“No matter how the world changes there are things that you need to protect. Even though you can change your car, you don’t change love. No matter how cruel the world becomes, love shouldn’t change.”Chi Soo

It Started with a Kiss


“Like a broken record, she kept telling me that she loved me… it was so annoying. But when this became a regular part of my life and I took it for granted, she suddenly told me she didn’t love me anymore. I can still clearly remember the nauseating feeling I had when she said that. I should have been relieved, but that didn’t seem to be the case. In this world I can do 90% of the things she cannot do. The remaining 10% that she can do that I cannot do, she can do it in a way that no one else can. It is mostly because of that she touched me.”Zhi Shu


“The one that you love is me. You’re not allowed to love anybody else.”Zhi Shu

“Where would I go to kind someone as right for me as you? Like this, I can have the perfect embrace. And the you that completes me.”Zhi Shu

Female leads start here! I'm such a loser.....

City Hunter

"Because I like you. Even though you’re weird and talk harshly, I like you. I know, I’m not your type – you’re not my type either. But, I still like you. I always want to see you. I feel miserable now… but I want to be faithful to my feelings.”Nana

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop

“When I grew older, I thought I would become an even more special person. But, it’s not true. I eat more and I know a lot more things but I just become more pathetic. Is this what it’s like to grow old?”Eun Bi



Why are you doing this to me? What kind of country did I save in my previous life?”- Eun Bi

“That’s right. I’m scared to death. You said it’s your first time, feeling chest pain, and nausea. Well it’s not mine. I’ve felt that before, and I know how crazy hot it boils, and how dangerous it is. And I know myself. I’m a Yang Eun-nem-bi (Silver Pot), so I boil faster, and hotter, than everyone else.”Eun Bi

Skip Beat!

"If apologising really worked, nobody would go to hell after they die!”Gong Xi



“Even if I gave love, I can’t guarantee that the other will give love back. Even if I was willing to sacrifice my future, I wouldn’t be able to touch the other’s.”Gong Xi

Mei-chan no Shitsuji


"A person with no will to fight will never be happy.”Mei

1st Shop of Coffee Prince

“The other day at work, I had this thought – Even if I could just be by his side, that would be nice. Then I wouldn’t have anything more to wish for.”Eun Chan


“Han Kyul told me not to work at the coffee anymore. But I don’t want to give up my job there. Because… I need the money – that’s an excuse… I love coffee too much – that’s an excuse too. It’s so warm and great that I almost forgot that I’m in a lie. Now I know I made a mistake. But I’m always hoping he’s there with me, always wishing he would like only me. I’m not a guy nor a girl. And I’m too scared to tell him.”Eun Chan

Spy Myung Wol

"It’s hard to tell what goes on in a relationship between a man and a woman, unless you’re them.”- from Spy Myung Wol



You're Beautiful


"He’s like a bright, shining star. When I receive that light, I feel brighter and also darker. When it’s bright I get my hopes up, and when it darkens I feel disappointment. I hate myself for this and feel ashamed.”Mi Nam

Secret Garden

"The things you say are true. It’s all true. But, you fool, where in the world is there a woman who would foster a tender, happy love only to disappear like sea foam? No woman starts a love with a designated end.”Ra Im

“Among the four seasons, I like winter the best. The face is cold and the body is hot. Even though you’re tired, you freeze when you stop walking. I like it when I have to walk and walk until my heart bursts. Because if you continue to walk, eventually you get on the top of the mountain.”Ra Im

People think I'm crazy because I love the winter!

 

"There are things that are thought of as fantasies merely because they’re far away. Starry bodies are like that. Just as it is with people who are too beautiful, they readily disappear – In the books that I’d read to find out what he’s really like, this was a passage that had long settled in my heart. It’s now that I realize it, how beautiful a person he is. And therefore, how far away he is from me. He’ll disappear someday, too, like people do when they’re too beautiful.” Ra-Im

“Where on earth is a woman who’ll jump at the chance to happily and beautifully cultivate a love that’ll just turn to bubbles? Nowhere in the world is there a woman who will start a love, giving up the ending. That’s why we’ll never work. We have no answer.”Ra-Im

Personal Taste

"A person like you has never waited all day for a phone call from the person you like. Or felt that your heart might burst, just from looking at this person. You could die and come back from the grave and never know. The person who made me feel that way told me to come outside. No matter how wrong he was, I want to hear him out. What can I do? I’m just built like this, so what can I do?” Kae In

“You being by my side is the biggest comfort.”Kae In

“I’m just going to trust you. Even if I get used a hundred, a thousand times, I’m just going to trust you. Even if it’s foolish. That’s the advantage of being Park Gae-In. Even if you use me again, even if I’m sad again, I’m just going to trust you. Because I can’t say goodbye like this.”Kae In

“The next time you’re born, please be born as a man who can love a woman.”Kae In

Heartstrings


“What’s with you? You judge a person by their appearance and crush them. You think you’re that cool?”Kyu Won

Arigatou~!!

Drama Challenge Day 3: Your Favorite Female Lead Character

I'm sorry!! I had so much stuff happening last night that I forgot about my drama challenge! Other than awards night last night (I won the band award!), I'm pretty guilty of other things.....I was caught up reading a novel that made my heart jump so much. I pretty much read that instead of my
blogging challenge. Luckly, I just schedule my yaoi posts so I didn't have to write them today when I actually wrote them two days ago. I'm glad my friend told me about it. I just love scheduling them! Saves me so much time. I can just do it all at once!


But I never have the time......sigh. By the way, the picture you see above, the manga isn't so bad. We fan girls love to interpet scenes differently. :D


Anyways, don't blame me, if you had sometimg that you loved so much come out to a form that you can save on your computer, you can totally understand my feeling right now. I was reading Sekai-chi Hatsukoi~ Yokozawa Takafumi. This novel is making me so happy right now! :D :D And, its nothing bad. I swear! > x <


Now, I must finish my post about my favorite female lead character!

Too be honest, I have quite a few favorite female characters. I'll just list them if you don't mind! They aren't in order. I'll put links on drama's I've already did recommendations on them. If not, I'll do them right on this post! If a drama catches your eye, please, go and watch the drama!


Let me start out with the character Myung Wol from the Korean Drama, Spy Myung Wol. I believe I haven't done a recommendation (I swear I did! I can't find it...wait, nevermind!!) on this drama so just scroll down.


Link to Drama recommendation: http://chocochan-chibiko.blogspot.ca/2011/11/my-addiction-to-action-and-mystery.html


Anyways, Myung Wol has such a great character. She's a military person. Being trained all her life to be this heartless (not really) and tough. Of course, she hasn't experienced dating or having a boyfriend. I think its really cute and awesome! Sigh. Her fighting moves are soo extremely cool! > x < She is so pretty.......

Han Ye Seul plays Myung Wol from Spy Myung Wol

Gil Rim Im from Secret Garden is also one of my favorite female lead characters. She is so cool! She acts as a stunt double for movies and she can fight and defend herself. She is very nice and quite humble. Plus, she is extremely pretty~! Gil Rim Im is played by Ha Ji-won. Oh! You know what I've noticed? Most of my favorite female lead characters are very atheltic or can fight and defend themselves. I love girls like that! They are so cool!!

Gil Rim Im's work costume! So cool~! >///<

Scene from Secret Garden.

Ha Ji-won also plays Kang Ha-yeong in my most favorite Korean movie of all time, 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant. I know its a movie but I just wanted to throw it out there because well, if any of you are bored and want a great romantic comedy korean movie to watch, 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant is a great movie.

File:100 Days With Mr Arrogant poster.jpg

Title: 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant
Type: Korean Movie
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Slice of Life
Age Rating: 13+ Teen
Status: Completed 95 minutes

Summary: (Wiki) After being dumped by her boyfriend just before their 100 day anniversary, Ha-Young (Ha Ji-Won) meets a college guy named Hyung-Joon when she kicks a can that accidentally hits him in the face and causes him to scratch his Lexus. He demands she pay him $3000 on the spot. She escapes from him, leaving her wallet behind.


Hyung-Joon stalks her, demanding money to pay for his car. Since she is a poor high school student Hyung-Joon writes up a "Enslavement Agreement" for Ha-Young in order to pay for the damage to his car. Ha-Young is thrown into a nightmarish slave life for 100 days, running his errands, i.e.: cleaning his house, carrying his shopping, and cleaning his car.


By accident she finds out that the damage to Hyung-Joon's car that's only $10! She then takes her revenge. However, before she knows it Hyung-Joon shows up at her house as her new tutor! He once again takes advantage of her, but soon Ha-Young finds herself falling head over heels for Hyung-Joon. But what happens when he drops out of her life just when she needs him most?

The original Korean title can be literally translated as "my love, the asshole," or, more roughly, as "my love, the no-manners".


I really love this movie! Too bad it was short........even though the plot was cliche, I enjoyed it. The actors were so cute and downright funny. It was great!! > x <

One exception (or two) to the action and tough female leads are Go Mi Nam or Go Mi Nyu from You're Beautiful and Lee Kyu Won from Heartstrings. Funny, Go Mi Nam and Lee Kyu Won are played by Park Shin Hye. She does a wonderful job! Go Mi Nam and Lee Kyu Won are both normal characters. However, Go Mi Nam has to cross dress in order to cover her brother. I really love that! Lee Kyu Won has to learns to sing and leave the classical stuff for the rock.........its so cool! I respect them both!!


Lee Kyu Won on the left.

Since I love Go Mi Nam more than Lee Kyo Won, I'll put a whole bunch of pictures of her! She is just so cute! I love Park Shin Hye's hairstyle for this drama. She pulled it off very well and I'm diggin it! I want that hair cut now.......

Go Mi Nam


I remember this episode! She looked so gorgeous with that wig!

A.N.G.E.L.L band members! Go Mi Nam is the second on the left

I have that plushie!! Well, in a smaller form.......but I love it anyways!

One more thing, Park Shin Hye has such a beautiful voice....

Arigatou~!!
