Honey & Clover

Just finish watching Honey & Clover 2nd episode. Preliminary impression? So far so good. Emotions started to move in the 2nd episode. You can notice how the actors and actresses slowly evolving in their characters.

The love triangles. The feeling of bliss and heartbreak.

I'm not going to say much until I've watched the whole series. Hope that it'll get even better in the coming weeks. Btw, I love the ending song by Hirai Ken title Canvas. Can't wait for it to be released in February.

LeeHom New 2008 Album?

It was reported that LeeHom will come out with a new album coming this May or June. Whether it's confirm or not, that I don't know. But.... it's still great news for his fans, if he does release the album.

However.... I'm a bit concern about it since the guy had been working his arse off for his movie, Lust Caution and also his Gai Bian Zi Ji album. To me, it was really a hectic year for him and only recently that he got a 2 weeks holiday for Chinese New Year.

Calculating from his supposed new album release, I believe that he might use his 2 weeks off holidaying with his family and at the same time producing the album or at least have something to do with it. I just wish that he would just drop all his work in that 2 weeks and really spend his time enjoying life and close companies. Seriously, don't want the guy to fall sick or anything.

LEEHOM, JUST GO HOME, LEAVE WORK BEHIND AND HAVE A REALLY... REALLY... DESERVING REST!!!

Lol, it not like he's gonna read this blog anyway. But then again who knows.... (^o^)

My W910i

Now I am a believer in the power and influence of an idol spokesperson. Why? I think LeeHom had successfully subconsciously influenced myself to get a Sony Ericsson handphone.

My W910i.

Mine is Hearty Red....


LeeHom does look HOT, ain't it, girls?


That's right LeeHom, keep on smiling....

Fyi, NO.... I didn't get the phone for the main reason of LeeHom is the spokesperson for it. There are other reasons to it, well at least there's two. First of all, my Nokia N70 had been giving me headache for the past few months. It drives me crazy every time I had to send it for repairs. Honestly I don't know what went wrong with my N70. The past Nokia predecessors that I had had all 'retired with honors and dignity'. Nokia had been a trusted name in my family. Hehehehe.... My mom kept bugging me to replace it with other N series. But I kept my mind open for other phone brands....

Which of course leads to my second reason of choosing my new W910i. Initially I had N95 in my mind but then again I don't need a phone with a 5 megapixel camera. That's what my Sony T50 is for. After N95 came Motorola in mind but I think I had enough of huge lump in my jeans. Though Motorola are really slim they are a bit horizontally large for my not-so-long fingers to grasp. Btw, I'm kinda bored of Nokia already and also being a music lover I really need a phone with good sound quality. So Sony Ericsson comes to mind. But I don't like most of the Sony Ericsson phone designs, they all look so boring. Too 'square'ish, box-like maybe.... So after some internet browsing and window shopping, I heart got attached to W910i. It fits just nicely in my hand, looks great not too 'square'ish, have good sounds and graphics and most importantly it goes well with my budget. Well at least... after I traded in my N70.

So I guess in the end, I think LeeHom's 'Incomplete Melody' MV did played some subconscious role in my mind. Maybe watching the MV which had the red W910i in it made my brain to lean towards it. Hahahaha.... D*mn, I had fallen victim to the power of idols advert.

The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince a.k.a Coffee Prince

As of now I'd just finished watching Coffee Prince. I know... I know.... Some of you might think why did it took me so long to watch it since the drama was thought to be one of the best Kdrama in 2007. FYI, I had it with me for quite sometime now. It had been nicely tugged in my CD storage collecting might I say some dust already.

First of all for those who haven't watch it, let me just give you some insight on this drama. It started of as a story about Go Eun Chan played by none other, rising star actress Yoon Eun Hye. Btw, she was the leading role in Goong and Vineyard Man. Eun Chan is a tomboy who had to give up her feminine image due to her being the breadwinner of her family. Eun Chan stumble upon Choi Han Kyul played by Gong Yoo and was mistakenly took Eun Chan as a man by Han Kyul. Han Kyul who is an heir to a company was kept pressured by his grandmother to settle down by being forced in going to arranged blind dates. Out of Han Kyul's desperation to avoid those arranged blind dates and Eun Chan's pressing monetary problems, Eun Chan was hired by Han Kyul to be his gay lover. Later, Eun Chan managed to beg for work in Han Kyul's coffee shop. Eventually feelings between Eun Chan and Han Kyul start to spark making Han Kyul question about his own 'sexual orientation'.

Yoon Eun Hye did played her role brilliantly and so does Gong Yoo. They both do have on screen chemistry. Right from the 1st episode I'm pretty confident that YEH is going to be brilliant in that role because starting from Goong to Vineyard Man and to Coffee Prince, she practically had the same characters of which she managed to pull off easily. It's always the 'happy go lucky - not a care in the world' characters.

As for YEH co-star, Gong Yoo which I have little knowledge of.... I was quite skeptical at first. He didn't seem to be a really... really drop dead gorgeous guy to be playing opposite YEH. I wasn't really convinced whether he could pull off Han Kyul character. Although I think there are a lot more drop dead gorgeous actors out there, Gong Yoo managed to intrigued me with his drop dead gorgeous charms. Which is more important that drop dead gorgeous faces, I might say. His charms made me view him with a different light or angle. His charms outshine his looks. I am soo.... looking forward for his next drama.

Now lets get straight to the point. Was it as great as people been talking about? Herm.... my personal opinion, Coffee Prince was good but it wasn't great. You might be thinking why does she says that when I've been praising the leading roles. Well.... I do admit that Coffee Prince do have great leading and supporting actors and actresses, brilliant insert music and a good basic story plot. What make me say it was just a good drama but not a great one? To tell you there truth I was slightly disappointed which the developing plot. What? WTH is she talking about? Am I confusing you? Let me straight it out for you. I said it had a GOOD BASIC STORY PLOT but they didn't really have a strong developing plot. Everything was great up until the 12th or 13th episode but afterward it seems to be going down hill from there. It seems that the drama suddenly lost its momentum. In the end, I was like.... huh?! Is that it?

So.... Coffee Prince turn out to be a rather good but not great tasting coffee despite it was brewed from the best coffee beans. If only the barista had brewed it better, Coffee Prince would have been a very pleasurable drink so that I would have the taste implanted in my taste bud for a very long time.... (>.<)

Robbers....

Upcoming 2008 KDrama....

Coming 2nd Jan 2008, Jang Hyuk and Lee Da Hae new drama title 'Robbers' going to be aired on SBS. Found a clip for the drama's preview. This is the remix clip that's presented by AmberFanArt. Credit to them. From the preview, it look like a very promising drama and I'm really looking forward to this drama.



Btw, I got a really shocking news from Jang Hyuk. Well at least for me. Apparently he has been in a relationship with a woman 2 years senior from him since 2002. And they are getting married in June after she had recuperated from giving birth to Jang Hyuk's child. They are expecting their child in February. Boy.... Jang Hyuk sure knows how to put a tight lid on his love life. Neway, congrats for ur wedding and the baby, Jang Hyuk....

Jessie - Lee Hom

Here is one of those rare occasion where Lee Hom sings an English song. This is his version of 'Jessie' by Joshua Kadison. You can hear that Lee Hom really pours out his emotions while singing this song. Seems that like it's his life story that he'll telling. Maybe it reminds him of his ex-gf. Seriously, he sang this song with a lot of soul in it. That is what I really love about Lee Hom. His beautiful soul.

Sorry about the quality of the vid though. That's the best I could get. Neway hope that you can enjoy it.



His voice and playing the piano......*drool... drool... drool*

This is the song lyrics.

From a phone booth in Vegas, Jessie calls at 5 A.M.
to tell me how she's tired of all of them.
She says, "Baby, I've been thinking 'bout a trailer by the sea.
We could go to Mexico... you, the cat and me.
We'll drink tequila and look for sea shells.
Now, doesn't that sound sweet?"
Oh, Jessie, you always do this every time I get back on my feet.

Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh, Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me.

She asks me how the cat's been. I say, "Moses he's just fine
but he used to think about you all the time.
We finally took your pictures down off the wall.
Oh, Jessie, how do you always seem to know just when to call?"
She says, "Get your stuff together. Bring Moses and drive real fast."
And I listen to her promise, "I swear to God this time it's gonna last."

Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.

I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm white sand.
And who knows, maybe this time things'll turn out just the way you planned.

Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh, Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me.
