Honey and Clover ~ Ikuta Toma

Upcoming JDrama....

Good news to Honey and Clover series fan. They are going to come out with the live action drama coming this January 8th on Fuji TV. Even though, I'm not a fan of Honey and Clover manga or anime, I was excited becoz Ikuta Toma gonna be in it. Yay!!! (^o^).... Honey and Clover tells about the lives of 5 college students and their love triangles. Ikuta Toma gonna play Takemoto Yuta and meanwhile his other half, Morita Shinobu will be played by Narimiya Hiroki. Hanamoto Hagumi is played by Narumi Riko.

P/S : Sorry I couldn't find any image from the live action drama. The image from the anime will have to do for now....


Latest addition....
In my sudden interest in Honey and Clover live action drama, I did some more snooping and googling around. So I finally got around the plot of Honey and Clover and to tell you the truth, it got my interest and I really have high expectation for this drama. Just because Ikuta Toma going to be playing the serious role as Takemoto rather than the crazy role as Morita. Which to some people... I guess... they would expect that he'll be playing the happy go lucky and crazy character, as he did in Hana Kimi when he was casted as Nakatsu. Even though I like the crazy character of Nakatsu, I missed Junpei of Hana Yori Dango character. He was mysterious and incredibly HOT in it. Cant wait to watch Ikuta Toma playing the mellow character as Takemoto Yuta.

Binbo Danshi ~ Oguri Shun...

Upcoming JDrama...

Just got new info about Oguri Shun. Seems that he's been busy lately with a lot of new projects. Other than his new movie, Crows Zero and also the up and coming, Hana Yori Dango The MOvie, Oguri Shun's new drama will be coming out in early January 2008. Title 'Binbo Danshi', he'll be appearing as a poor college student but with a optimistic mind. And because of him overly nice character, he found himself to be taking in other people's debts and have to face difficulties and challenges in paying off those debts. This plot kinda reminds me of Liar Game. The main character was so... or it is too... nice. I don't know whether to call it nice or just plain stupidity. Well now, lets not dwell into it too much.

Binbo Danshi will be another comedy for Oguri Shun apart from his recent success 'Hanazakari no Kimitachi e'. Unfortunately that is all the information that I get. I'll be updating it once I have more info. So Oguri Shun's fans keep an eye for this drama. I know I will.

Hana Yori Dango Final - The Movie...

I'm sure that quite a lot of 'Hana Yori Dango' fans already know about the up and coming final installation of the live-action adaptation. But still, this info is for people who didn't know about it.

The film is set to be released in Summer 2008 and the shooting will start in January 2008 with 2 months of overseas filming. All the cast will reprise their roles and the film's plot is set 1 year after Makino Tsukushi's graduation. The film will also depicted the ups and downs of Tsukushi and Tsukasa's relationship as it the same plot in both of Season 1 and 2 drama. The series' director Yasuharu Ishii will helm the picture. The story is developed by the original mangaka Yoko Kamio and the series' screenwriter Mikio Satake (actor Takayuki Takuma).

Well now, I'm pretty excited about the film coz finally Tsukushi and Tsukasa are going to have their deserving ending to their turbulence relationship. Herm.... To say deserving or not, it all depends on the film's plot. Whether or not, it can really satisfy HYD's fans. I'm really hoping that the plot's going to be a damn good one coz anything lesser would make the whole series go to waste. You know what I mean, right? Sequels sometime flopped, making it so painful to watch since the 1st installation was so damn great! HYD 1 and 2 manage to remain entertaining. I'm can't wait to watch the movie and say the same thing about it.

Well.... Summer 2008. Hana Yori Dango - The MOvie.... on my watch list!!! And so is our hawt.... OGURI SHUN!!!

A KDrama Review....

Well I had been adding few drama reviews and it's all Jdrama. I haven't done any review on KDrama. Haven't been watching any new KDrama though, so I had no other choice but to put in past reviews that I had written in my Friendster Account. So here goes...

FYI, the title post wasn't about expressing my gratitude but it's actually the title for KDrama show that was starred by Jang Hyuk (but I do appreciate those ppl who spent time reading my blog. So, I THANK YOU for the bottom of my heart). 'Thank You' is Jang Hyuk 1st drama soon after he finished his 2 years stint in Korean National Service. His comeback was long over due and a lot of people have been painfully waiting for his new drama. The anticipation was high for this drama due to the highly successful projects from Jang Hyuk. Famously named, the hilarious 'Successful story of a bright girl', 'Please teach me English' and the teary-eyed 'Windstruck'.

The story goes.... Jang Hyuk played as Dr. Min Ki Seo. He travelled to Blue Island to fulfill his deceased girlfriend's last wish. That is to find a little girl that was infected by HIV due to her mistaken medical decision. She had neglected medical procedures when treating the little girl and had given her HIV tainted blood. His task was to deliver her apology to the little girl and her family. The mother to the little girl happens to be Lee Young Shin (played by Gong Hyo Jin), a single mom, who also had a hard time caring for her grandfather who has Alzeimer's and keeping her daughter's HIV condition a secret while teaching her how to live with it. Min Ki Seo was an arrogant person who looked down on people and after meeting Lee Young Shin who accepted her fate and tried to make the best of it despite all odds, slowly changed for the better and became a warm and caring person.

This drama try to expose viewers with the reality of life for HIV and AIDS patients. Showing how people would react towards them, the family bond that bind the patients and their family and also how they coped with the harsh treatments from prejudice and ignorant people. The show had some educational facts for HIV and AIDS and this is also a good way to convey info to the public on the topic.

I love watching this drama due to the quality of acting from both of the actors and actresses, the lovely scenery of Blue Island and beautifully crafted soundtracks. And as I've mentioned before this is Jang Hyuk 1st drama after finishing his 2 yrs stint in the Korean National Service, just wanna highlight that the trainings does give him some erm..... hehehe.... good side effects. You'll know what I mean when you watch the show. Let me give you a hint. 'Shower scene'. Hehehe....if you want to know what is it all about, I guess you guys just have to watch it and find out for yourselves then.

Jang Hyuk's acting skills had improved a lot since his project with Jang Nara. From comedy to sad story and to serious human drama. It is surely a big leap of improvement. Can't wait for his new drama coming this December named 'Robber' and he's going to pair up with Lee Da Hae of 'My Girl' and "Green Rose' fame. Make me curious about the actor and actress pairing. Just have to wait and see, I guess. Oh....not forgetting his new movie, Dance of the Dragon. He's acting along with Fann Wong, a Singaporean actress. If I'm not mistaken... (O_o) ?!.... The movie said to be 90% in English. Wonder how Jang Hyuk gonna sound. The movie is also said to be released early next year. So, Jang Hyuk's fans, you all have a lot to wait for.

BTW, Jang Hyuk had some facial hair this time around and honestly to me, guys with a slight facial hair are sooooooooo......... HAWT.... So that is a sure thing for Jang Hyuk in 'Thank You'. He's so totally H.O.T..... (^_^) v

Saigo no Kawa - CHEMISTRY

Translation lyric
why do you look up at the sky
everytime you stop somewhere?
the sorrow you can’t tell anyone
can be spoken through your heart

if you look back at the
long road you walked here on
you’ll be shown a shining day
brighter than in my memories

no matter when,
always by my side
you shared your laughter
during all the time we’ve spent
something felt missing…
but, what i noticed was
“love really is everything”

please don’t ask me
“are you happy?”
my dear
hold me in your arms
i want to hear it
are You happy?
the unending street is unpredictable
person sending me off
please dry your tears
with my back turned
and on my own
i cross over the river now

after i’ve gone
look up at the sky sometimes

i’m always watching over you
from someplace near the sun

even though your image
can’t be seen
i can still feel you
and if i close my eyes
your dear warmth
envelops my loneliness
shining on me rays of the sun

i remember
how much i loved you
my treasured one
leaving you behind
was heart breaking
i want to go back to before
the love i have is for ever
please don’t forget
you are never alone
we may be separated
but in your heart
i am still alive

please don’t ask me
“are you happy?”
my dear
hold me in your arms
i want to hear it
are You happy?
the unending street is unpredictable
sending me off
please dry your tears
with my back turned
and on my own
i cross over the river now

i don’t regret anything
i’m happy to have been born
from my heart, I Thank You.

Pretty sure gonna have that song playing in my head for quite a long time. Damn... can't stop smiling after hearing that song. I'm gonna have a lovely dream tonite. (^_^)

MdaC Gathering....

Malaysia d-addicts Community Gathering....

MdaC sekali lagi dengan jayanya telah mengadakan perjumpaan buat kali ke 3. Perjumpan kali pertama dan kedua aku tak join atas sebab yang tak dapat dielakkan. Gathering pertama, aku x join lgk MdaC nie, gathering kedua kat Berjaya Times Square plk disbbkan last minute punye keje, so x dpt gi dan akhirnya bagi perjumpaan kali ketiga nie berjaya gak redah bandar Kajang untuk ke rumah Kak Azra, tuan rumah bagi perjumpaan kali ketiga nie. Nasib tak sesat teruk, sekadar terlajak jalan dalam bandar Kajang jek. Still bole carik u-turn dan kembali ke pangkal jalan. Huhuhuhu....

Sampai2 umah Kak Azra, siap pusing dua kali sbb carik parking. Lastly gi parking kat ujung barisan umah teras Kak Azra. Mase turun kete, hati dok berdegup laju. Dup...dap...dup...dap.... Macam2 mende dok pikir. Camne org2 MdaC nie. Hehehe....tp bile dh bagi salam n masuk n perkenalkan diri pada tuan rumah, segala kegelisahan tue hilang. Sebabnye? Sebab, Kak Azra ramah orgnye walopon baru 1st time jmpe. Anak-anak Kak Azra sume comel. Memang gaya anak org Korea @ Japan. Especially cute baby Qistina (kalo x silap nama anak bongsu Kak Azra).

Lepas perkenalkan diri pada tuan rumah, baru beralih pada MdaC lain2 yg dh smpi lebih awal. Rase geli hati plk sbb kene perkenalkan diri ikut nickname. Pastu asyik pggl each other with their own nickname plk. Sume MdaC yg hadir ari tue memang ramah belaka. Ramai yg dh rapat with each other before sbb dh penah jumpe mase perjumpaan yg dulu. Mula-mula ahli-ahli MdaC nie agak malu kucing kot. I am, myself for certain mmg malu-malu kucing at first tp majlis jdk lgk bingit bile masuk topik-topik perbincangan drama nie. Masing-masing bagi pendapat masing-masing. Hahahaha.... (^o^).... mmg seronot. Tambah plk ngan masakan Kak Azra yg best tue. Sume dia buat sendiri. Termasukla buah oren Sunkist yg dikatakan ditanam sendiri oleh Kak Azra. Hihihi.... Untuk a more detail report leh bace link nie. Report tue sume telah disediakan oleh Mrzali and Farha selaku pencatat minit rasmi MdaC. (^_^) . MdaC 3rd Gathering. Majlis bersurai selepas beberapa jam dan bile ujan lebat dh berhenti.

Kesimpulan MdaC Gathering. Mmg cukup meriah and I can't wait for the next meeting. Neway it's nice to finally meet MdaC ppl. (^_^) v

Iryu Team Medical Dragon....

Yes.... This Japanese drama title does sound rather silly... well at least for me... but the storyline is pretty good. The basic storyline is about the dirty politics, corruption and nepotism that goes along with it, in Meishin University Medical Hospital.


Ryutaro Asada, played by Sakaguchi Kenji is a rebellious doctor who had been out casted in Japan medical league due to a devious plot by Kirima Gunji (played by Kitamura Kazuki). Ryutaro's extraordinary talent in surgery had been the prime jealousy of Kirima.

One day, Kirima's girlfriend Akira Kato had invited Ryutaro to join her team in doing a research that involves a highly specialized cardio-surgery prosedure named Batista. Akira seek Ryutaro's help after witnessing his skills in successfully treating patients in harsh working condition and without proper equipments. The drama tells about how Ryutaro find suitable teammates for the surgery and the dirty tricks that he had to cope through.

I surely don't want to reveal too much about the show. (^_^) .... Neway what I would like to say about this show was the main actor, Sakaguchi Kenji. Watching him in the first frame of Iryu gives me deja vu... like I had seen him somewhere before but I can't put his image anywhere. Not until midway of Iryu's 1 episode that it finally hit me. Ryutaro was Yamato in 'Pride'. Haha.... He totally had a different character in Iryu. In 'Pride' he plays as a person who is less secure. Whereas in Iryu, he played a very confident person. Seeing how well he played both of the totally different characters shows that Sakaguchi Kenji has good acting skills.

The other character that caught me eyes was Ijyuuin Noboru, sort of an intern in Meishin University Medical Hospital. He was reluctantly caught between the dirty hospital's politics and Ryutaro's rebellious actions. Ryutaro's interest in Ijyuuin was reasoned by the fact Ijyuuin is not yet corrupted by the hospital's politics. Ryutaro harshly trains Ijyuuin and making him among the youngest skilled heart surgeon. Ijyuuin character was played by Koike Teppei. I didn't really realize he was the other half of a Jpop duo 'WaT' until I read Dramawiki for more info on the show. He's totally cute and played a rather convincing insecure doctor in Iryu. Honestly with his seemingly short stature, he does kinda look like Doogie Howser M.D to me..... heheheh .....

Being kinda directly involve in the medical field, I do have a high expectation in medical dramas. But in reality, it's very hard to find a really convincingly made medical drama. For me, what's most impressive in Iryu, is the fact that they made really good and realistic internal organs. But I can't say the same about the blood though. The colour is sometime close to the real thing but there are times where it's totally sort of ... out of colour. Well, nevertheless it is a good medical drama. And I can't wait for Iryu 2 to finish so that I can marathon it. Hahahaha.... (^_^)V

Word of the day : Disappointment

Haven't been blogging for quite some time now. Been busy catching up with few dramas lately and also deflating my overly bloated external and laptop HDD. Gonna add up the reviews later.

Today isn't a good day for me it seems. Some 'lousy' people had ruined it. Disappointment is the main word. Just can't believe such supposedly professional people be so 'unprofessional'. More over, they said such stupid remarks. If they hated their work so much then they should just quit. No need to go around, putting bad influences to other people and making a fool out of them self. The meaning of being a leader is to lead and inspired people and not the opposite. When the 'lead' position was given to you, it means more responsibility and not just the increased paycheck that you receive every month. If you can't handle the pressure or the responsibility that comes with it then you should just give it up to other people who are more trustworthy.

Moral of the story? With great power, comes great responsibility. Eh? Herm? Now, where did I heard that before. Hehe.... (^_^) v
