Air City / 에어 시티 (Ae-eo Si-ti)

This was the last drama that AZN featured before it went off the air for good back in April, and I'm just now getting around to blogging about it. NOT to say it wasn't a good drama, because it was! What I found most interesting though, was that they could come up with a credible and GOOD show that centered around the lives of airport security workers. =)The only complaint I had was with the love triangle thing. Our cutie-pie, Lee Jin-wook had...

Spring Bear's Love

봄날의 곰을 좋아하세요? / Do you like Spring Bear ?This was cute.I requested this on Mysoju, but I doubt that's why they finally uploaded the movie.I want to see everything that KIM NAM JIN ever starred in!I think this was, like his first or second movie ~ and he was awesome as ever, too. He played an adorable role as a dimwit in love with his high school crush. She (Bae Doona as Hyun-chae) never looked at him the same way.Her father (Kwang-rok Oh) was...

Playboy Cops / Fa Fa Ying King

花花型警This seemed as if it would be a silly movie (based on the title alone), until I saw that Jingle Ma was the director, and then I knew that it would be better than expected.After watching Playboy Cops (Fa Fa Ying King in Cantonese), I was very grossed out, but thoroughly pleased with the film. It started out at one end of the spectrum, became utterly intense in the middle, and then it ended at the other end: as gruesome and sad as Ma would no...

Seducing Mr. Perfect / Mr. Ro-bin Ggo-si-gi

Mr. 로빈 꼬시기Well, there were several reasons why I decided to watch this flick, and one being that I was curious as to whether or not our dashing Mr. Henney's acting had improved.Um ... I don't know about the rest of the female population, but for me, I think I'd rather just see him in magazine spreads from now on.It's painfully embarrassing to watch such a gorgeous creature like him make such an absolute FOOL of himself, and on such a wide screen,...

발리에서 생긴 일 / What Happened in Bali

Bal-li-e-seo Saeng-kin ilThroughout these 20 episodes, I kept asking myself, "What DID happen in Bali?"I am guessing now that the title has everything to do with the last, two minutes of this drama.What a dark, miserable show this was! Maybe now that I've seen the whole thing, the seductive sneer that the leading lady, Lee Soo-jung gave to So Ji Sup's character, Kang In-wook at the very start of the show was not a figment of my imagination!A brief...

DEAR CANADA

I just returned from a WELCOME trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto.The title of this blog will take you to my PICASA album of the trip.As soon as we left the apartment, a storm rolled in, and we had to wait at the Marathon station near the I-69 entrance until it passed.A definite sign of things to come.I don't know why, but Canada is so, much more beautiful than Michigan or other parts of the USA that I've visited. Perhaps its the sense of OTHER COUNTRY that makes it seem better to me, or maybe it's because they do things differently over there...

Ice Girl / 그녀가 돌아왔다

It's late, but I just finished watching ICE GIRL, and I better blog now, or I might forget what to say.I chose this drama on Mysoju because it starred KIM NAM JIN, one of my favorite Korean actors. I made it as far as episode seven when I couldn't take it anymore, and I quit the show.I've figured out by now that the producers must think that unless something tragic happens, no one will be interested. The love story at the beginning was adorable,...
