Procrastinating. Ive been.
Omo, i pray i have more time for revision. Everyday theres bound to have things to keep me occupied, sigh.


Oh well, so the lazy me finally finished Witch YooHee yesterday. Thought i'll just watch it on channelU but the broadcast has been terribly slow. The drama was alright only.. nowadays the korean dramas have been imitating the style of some previous good production. So i see no point watching each full episode. I was merely scanning through the drama till the last episode yesterday. So couldnt really feel the development of each character and the story. I never do this in the past, not even to the GOONG drama which most people felt its draggy... Witch Yoohee has a fabulous plot to begin with, the visual effects too but the takes with the shot and everything are rather, bad. Leading to the drama feeling so fake. I dont even see anything sacred about Yoohee's romance. Afterall shes merely a ball throw among guys, accepting anyone who expressed their kind intention(although the picture depicted is much more beautiful and in a better way, this is what i feel about the show). And Jaehee left his girlfriend for Yoohee, who is more wealthy and prettier. Practical, and harsh to Jaehee's ex. The only thing I kind of like is the part where Kim Jung Hoon is portrayed as the bad doctor who is after fame and can resort to any tricks in order to keep his standing in the society. Except if his part if more focus on, it'll definitely add more point. Well, the PD really got to wake up and stop living in the stereotype romance fantasy. The audiences are getting sick of it. Im getting immuned to them that i almost felt its no point watching another kdrama.

Till to-date, i felt none has yet to surpass My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. Other than GOONG or Jumong. The tv-viewership also tells. No dramas has yet to break the record My Lovely Samsoon made in 2005. Actually, Im not that fervent over all korean dramas, only good ones. While searching for the good ones which i can still talk about 10years down the road, i realised ive watched quite a few this year.
Be Strong Geum Soon
Que Sera Sera
War of Money
Spring Waltz
Dal Ja Sping
Witch Yoohee
Wow, its quite alot of them. But for most of it, im already feeling the boredom halfway through the series.

Naming a few CLASSIC production of the year (which a typical k-drama fan should have watched)
2000: Autumn In My Heart
2001: Beautiful Days (Choi Ji Won, Lee Byung Hun, Ryu)
2002: Winter Sonata
2003: Stairway to Heaven, Dae Jang Geum
2004: Full House, Lovers in Paris, Love Story In Harvard
2005: My Name Is Kim Sam Soon
2006: My Girl, Goong, JuMong
2007: Coffee Prince
[Some others more to be named but they didnt really cause a stir in the industry]


Out of them, ive yet to watch Jumong, Love Story in Havard, Lovers in Paris, and Coffee prince which im gonna watch it soon, its already in my drives. Oh and about some of the korean dramas showing on ChannelU, i really have no time for them. Like the: My parents and Goong S.. Come back Soon Ae is broadcasting soon too, featuring the female lead from War of Money, which received lotsa of good rating earlier this year.

Well hope coffee prince would not fail me.
channel 56 is currently showing Heaven's Tree. One melancholy old tradition korean drama where the guy and girl in love, then girl died of cancer drama. Its quite a drama worth watching i guess.

OKAY ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS TIME~
