Korean Entertainment Obsessions
Currently I was obsessed with Korean movies, drama and songs thanks to a friend of mine. I got quite a number of the popular and latest Korean movies. They are all soft subbed. I haven't watched all of them yet, especially the last few. I will update on them once I watch them.
My Tutor Friend 2004
Comedy Romance
My Sassy Girl 2001- Good korean comedy romance, watched this two year ago.
Windstruck - Same director and actor of my sassy girl, but this movie is not as good as it's presuccessor.
My boyfriend is type B 2005
               
The film's premise hinges on the wacky theory that a person's blood type has a direct effect on one's love life. A type-B male like Young-Bin is said to be conceited and stubborn whereas a type-A girl like Ha-Mi is destined to be timid and obedient for the rest of her life. Thus, it's a bad match from the get-go if one believes in the blood type theory. Even so, can these two vastly different people find love in spite of their seeming blood type incompatibility?
High school girl get married 2004
This is a story comedy romance movie is based on the korean tale; The silly Ondal and the pyeonggang princess.

During King Pyeongwon's reign, BC 559 - BC 590 there was a man named Ondal who was poor but very devoted to his mother. At this time, the king had a daughter, a princess named Pyeonggang who never stopped crying. One day, because she wouldn't stop crying, the King teased her by saying "If you continue to cry, I will marry you to Silly Ondal." Unbelievably, she stopped crying. From that day forward, whenever she cried, he always said the same thing to her and she would stop. When she grew up, the King tried to marry her into the Go family, but she stubbornly wanted to marry Silly Ondal and said, "Father, you always said that you would marry me to Silly Ondal. Why do I have to marry Mr. Go?". For this, the King kicked her out of the castle. When she left, she took many pieces of jewelry and went looking for Silly Ondal with it. As a result she found Ondal's house, told him her story and married him. She sold her jewelry in order to study with him in practice military arts. Now, Silly Ondal attended a hunting contest every year on March 3rd in Goguryeo. Surprisingly, he won first prize in the contest, and the King was so proud of his accomplishment that he forgave them and conferred upon him the title of General. Silly Ondal served the king at his best, and after King Pyeongwon died, Yeongyang his eldest son became King, reigning from BC 590 - 618. Silly Ondal told the new King that he would go the battlefield in Silla's land (Goguryeo) to get it back. The battle was fierce, and an arrow from one of Silla's soldiers took his life. The other soldiers were saddened by his death and tried to carry the coffin for his funeral. But the coffin wouldn't move. Because of this, Princess Pyeonggang consoled the coffin and soul of Ondal. After this, the coffin began to move and they could hold the funeral service. Silly Ondal had finally won the admiration of the Goguryeo people and had valiantly defended the country against the enemy.
 

The ancient fable of Princess PyongGang is told in this horribly overrated movie. The modern PyongGang (Im Eun Kyung) might have had bearable acting had it not been for the unbelievable and sheer audacity of a Korean movie producer to create and endorse such a garbled plot.

This drama was filmed in part in Australia
Synopsis
"A Story about Extreme, Death-Defying Love"
- This is a really sad love story.
"Sorry, I Love You" is a story about Cha Mu-hyeok (So Ji-seop), who faces death everyday with two bullets stuck in the head, and Song Eun-chae (Lim Su-jeong), whose chance encounter with him develops into an extreme love affair.

- "Sorry, I Love You" begins with a man's fight for revenge
Cha Mu-hyeok is a show business manager who plans to take his revenge on his birth mother for having abandoned him. After being abandoned by his mother, he was adopted by an Australian family at the age of two. He, however, left his foster home when he was 10 because of his adopted parents' ill treatment. He is a man making a living as a henchman of a street gang, a pimp, or a drug pusher.

- "Sorry, I Love You" is a story about an extreme love affair of two men and a woman
Though he has been hit with bullets in the head, Cha Mu-hyeok insists on going to Korea to see his birth mother determined to die in his birth country. Contrary to his belief that she abandoned him for poverty, his birth mother turns out to be a top movie star and his twin brother also a top star. In a plot to revenge himself on his mother, Mu-hyeok volunteers to work for his twin brother, Choi Yun (Chung Kyeong-ho), as his manager in a bid to run him. In the process, Mu-hyeok falls in deep love with Yun's program coordinator, Song Eun-chae.

This drama is a great drama that have the X-factor that captivated the hearts of drama audience and it is really worth the watch. This drama truly depicts the harshness of life. Too bad that my connection are too slow to download the whole drama series from the internet.

The original song yukino hana by Mika Nakashima. The song was resung by pop singer Park Hyo-shin as a theme song for KBS TV 2's miniseries, "Sorry, I Love You" starring So Ji-seop and Lim Su-jeong, has captivated the hearts of the drama audience. On the strength of its surging popularity, its original Japanese song "Yukino Hana" by Mika Nakashima has also stolen the spotlight. Park Hyo-shin's popularity has contributed to boosting the image of Mika Nakashima in Korea.
Many critics highly praise Park's "Snow Flowers" as a perfect remake with a fascinating combination of sublime sounds of string instruments and clear and cool vocal sounds.
This song really sends shivers to my spines as I was electrified every time I listened to this song. This songs was very emotional especially the beginning of the song.

translations

Somehow our shadows grow longer
As I'm walking with you in the twilight
Holding hands, this eternity
Just being together brings tears to my eyes

When the wind is cold
Winter is coming closer.
Little by little on this path
The season when I'll have to leave you is coming

Now as I look up at the first snow of the year
In this moment together
I want to give you everything
And hold you in my arms

I am not just a weak person
I love you like this
That is the only thing in my heart

When I'm with you, whatever may happen
It seems like I'll be able to do it
You give me that feeling
Today passes, and on into eternity
I pray that our love will last forever

The wind rattles my windows
When I awaken in the dark night
And I'll erase all your painful memories
Through this smile

The white snowflakes fall endlessly
On this path as we walk
Not knowing if someday it'll change
We go on through the changing colors of light

I lived for someone
I wanted to do something - everything - for them
I learnt that is what love is

If maybe I'd known where you were
I would've been the star on a winter night
Shining my light on you
On the happy days,
And on the sad nights wet with tears
Always, always beside you

Now as I look up at the first snow of the year
In this moment together
I want to give you everything
And hold you in my arms

Don't cry, look at me
Still beside you
All my heart wants is to be with you
I won't let you go again

Endlessly falling around us
On this path full of snowflakes
Little by little in your heart and mine
Our tiny memories become full
You are forever beside me
