Secret Garden


 
Plot: The drama tells the story of Gil Ra Im (Ha Ji-won), a poor and humble stuntwoman whose beauty and body are the object of envy amongst top actresses, and Kim Joo Won (Hyun Bin), an arrogant and eccentric CEO who maintains the image of seeming perfection. Their accidental meeting, when Joo Won mistakes Ra Im for actress Park Chae Rin, marks the beginning of a tense, bickering relationship, through which Joo Won tries to hide a growing attraction to Ra Im that both confuses and disturbs him. To complicate matters further, a strange sequence of events results in them swapping bodies.

My Views: This is another interesting drama that have watch. The funny, the romance and the warmth of this drama really bring out the show very well. I personally like the body exchange part because all those funny actions and expression can be seen during that point of drama. On top of that, the body exchange part really brings the 2 main lead together as they get to know more about each other well. The final part of why I like this drama is because of the overall ending which you will never expect. Well want to know how the ending is like and how their relationship is more than just what you have seen? Watch this drama, I assure you that you won't regret it!

Captain America: The First Avenger


 File:Captain America The First Avenger poster.jpg

Plot: In March 1942, Nazi officer Johann Schmidt and his men invade Tønsberg, Norway, to steal a mysterious Tesseract possessing untold powers. Meanwhile, in New York City, Steve Rogers is rejected for World War II military duty because of various health and physical issues. While attending an exhibition of future technologies with his friend Bucky Barnes, Rogers again attempts to enlist. Overhearing Rogers' conversation with Barnes about wanting to help in the war, Dr. Abraham Erskine allows Rogers to enlist. He is recruited in the Scientific Strategic Reserve as part of a "super-soldier" experiment under Erskine, Col. Chester Phillips, and British agent Peggy Carter. Phillips is unconvinced by Erskine's claims that Rogers is the right person for the procedure, but relents after seeing Rogers commit an act of self-sacrificing bravery. The night before the treatment, Erskine reveals to Rogers that Schmidt underwent an imperfect version of the procedure and suffered side-effects.

Back in Europe, Schmidt and Dr. Arnim Zola successfully harness the energies of the Tesseract, intending to use the power to fuel Zola's inventions. Schmidt, having discovered Erskine's location, dispatches an assassin to kill him. In America, Erskine subjects Rogers to the super-soldier treatment, injecting him with a special serum and dosing him with "vita-rays". After Rogers emerges from the experiment taller and more muscular, one of the attendees kills Erskine, revealing himself to be Schmidt's assassin, Heinz Kruger. Rogers pursues and captures Kruger, but the assassin commits suicide by cyanide capsule before he can be interrogated.

With Erskine dead and the super-soldier formula lost, U.S. Senator Brandt has Rogers tour the nation in a colorful costume as "Captain America" to promote war bonds, rather than allow scientists to study him and attempt to rediscover Erskine's formula. In 1943, while on tour in Italy performing for active servicemen, Rogers learns that Barnes' unit was lost in a battle against Schmidt's forces. Refusing to believe that Barnes is dead, Rogers has Carter and Howard Stark fly him behind enemy lines to mount a solo rescue attempt. Rogers infiltrates the fortress of Schmidt's HYDRA organization, freeing Barnes and the other captured soldiers. Rogers confronts Schmidt, who reveals his face to be a mask, removing it to display the red, skull-like face that earned him the sobriquet "the Red Skull." Schmidt escapes and Rogers returns to base with the freed soldiers.

Rogers recruits Barnes, Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, Jim Morita, James Montgomery Falsworth, and Jacques Dernier to attack the other known HYDRA bases. Stark outfits Rogers with advanced equipment, in particular a circular shield made of vibranium, a rare, near-indestructible metal. Rogers and his team successfully sabotage various HYDRA operations. The team later assaults a train carrying Zola. Zola is captured, but Barnes falls from the train to his apparent death. Using information extracted from Zola, the final HYDRA stronghold is located and Rogers leads an attack to stop Schmidt from using weapons of mass destruction on American cities. Rogers clambers aboard Schmidt's aircraft as it takes off. During the subsequent fight, the Tesseract's container is damaged. Schmidt physically handles the Tesseract, causing him to dissolve in a bright light. The Tesseract falls to the floor, burning through the plane and falling to Earth. Seeing no way to land the plane without the risk of detonating its weapons, Rogers crashes it in the Arctic. Stark later recovers the Tesseract from the ocean floor, but is unable to locate Rogers or the aircraft.

Rogers awakens in a 1940s-style hospital room. Deducing from an anachronistic radio broadcast that something is wrong, he flees outside into what is revealed to be present-day Times Square, where Nick Fury tells him he has been "asleep" for nearly 70 years.

My View: Certainly a different super hero compared to Iron Man, Hulk and Thor. He is more like a super human instead. This movie really didn't bring any interesting fights for Captain America becauseduring his time, world war 2, there's nothing much to battle against with. It's just a normal tanks, soldiers and stuff. Although there are Hydra, but they didn't put up much fight against Captain America. However, this movie is also a must watch if you like Marvel because it shows how a small weak guy become a super human overnight with his pure heart to protect his country.

Thor


File:Thor poster.jpg

Plot: In AD 965, Odin, king of Asgard, wages war against the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and their leader Laufey, to prevent them from conquering the nine realms, starting with Earth. The Asgardian warriors defeat the Frost Giants and seize the source of their power, the Casket of Ancient Winters.

In the present, Odin's son Thor prepares to ascend to the throne of Asgard, but is interrupted when Frost Giants attempt to retrieve the Casket. Against Odin's order, Thor travels to Jotunheim to confront Laufey, accompanied by his brother Loki, childhood friend Sif and the Warriors Three: Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun. A battle ensues until Odin intervenes to save the Asgardians, destroying the fragile truce between the two races. For Thor's arrogance, Odin strips his son of his godly power and exiles him to Earth as a mortal, accompanied by his hammer Mjolnir, now protected by an enchantment to allow only the worthy to wield it.

Thor lands in New Mexico, where astrophysicist Jane Foster, her assistant Darcy Lewis and mentor Dr. Erik Selvig, find him. The local populace finds Mjolnir, which S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson soon commandeers before forcibly acquiring Jane's data about the wormhole that delivered Thor to Earth. Thor, having discovered Mjolnir's nearby location, seeks to retrieve it from the facility that S.H.I.E.L.D. quickly constructed but he finds himself unable to lift it, and is captured. With Selvig's help, he is freed and resigns himself to exile on Earth as he develops a romance with Jane.

Loki discovers that he is actually Laufey's son, adopted by Odin after the war ended. A weary Odin falls into the deep "Odinsleep" to recover his strength. Loki seizes the throne in Odin's stead and offers Laufey the chance to kill Odin and retrieve the Casket. Sif and the Warriors Three, unhappy with Loki's rule, attempt to return Thor from exile, convincing Heimdall, gatekeeper of the Bifröst - the means of traveling between worlds - to allow them passage to Earth. Aware of their plan, Loki sends the Destroyer, a seemingly indestructible automaton, to pursue them and kill Thor. The warriors find Thor, but the Destroyer attacks and defeats them, prompting Thor to offer himself instead. Struck by the Destroyer and near death, Thor's sacrifice proves him worthy to wield Mjolnir. The hammer returns to him, restoring his powers and enabling him to defeat the Destroyer. Kissing Jane goodbye and vowing to return, he and his fellow Asgardians leave to confront Loki.

In Asgard, Loki betrays and kills Laufey, revealing his true plan to use Laufey's attempt on Odin's life as an excuse to destroy Jotunheim with the Bifröst Bridge, thus proving himself worthy to his adoptive father. Thor arrives and fights Loki before destroying the Bifröst Bridge to stop Loki's plan, stranding himself in Asgard. Odin awakens and prevents the brothers from falling into the abyss created in the wake of the bridge's destruction, but Loki allows himself to fall when Odin rejects his pleas for approval. Thor makes amends with Odin, admitting he is not ready to be king; while on Earth, Jane and her team search for a way to open a portal to Asgard.

In a post-credits scene, Selvig has been taken to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, where Nick Fury opens a briefcase and asks him to study a mysterious object, which Fury says may hold untold power. An invisible Loki prompts Selvig to agree, and he does.

My View: If you like Marvel, this show is for you. Thor, is one of the team member in The Avengers. This movie shows about Thor, as a platform of introducing Thor before producing the movie, "The Avengers". The action is great but only shows during the end of the movie which is the same as all the marvel movie that I have watched. Well, overall as an introduction to the new members of the Avengers team, this show is a must watch, if not, you will not be able to understand what's going on in the movie, "The Avengers".

Shutter Island


File:Shutterislandposter.jpg

Plot: In 1954, two U.S. Marshals, Edward "Teddy" Daniels (DiCaprio) and his new partner, Chuck Aule (Ruffalo), travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island located in Boston Harbor, as part of an investigation on the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando (Mortimer), incarcerated for drowning her three children. Shortly after arrival, a storm prevents their return to the mainland for several days. Daniels finds the staff confrontational: the lead psychiatrist, Dr. John Cawley (Kingsley), refuses to hand over records of the hospital staff; Solando's doctor, Dr. Sheehan, had left on vacation after her disappearance, and they are barred from searching Ward C and told that the lighthouse on the island has already been searched.

Daniels starts having migraine headaches, waking visions of his involvement in the Dachau massacre, and disturbing dreams of his wife, Dolores Chanal (Williams), who was killed in a fire set by arsonist Andrew Laeddis (Koteas). In one dream, Chanal tells Daniels that Solando is still on the island, as is Laeddis. Daniels later explains to Aule that locating Laeddis was an ulterior motive for taking the case.

As Daniels and Aule continue their investigation, they find that Solando has been found by the staff with no explanation. With neither the staff or patients helping, Daniels decides to break into Ward C, and eventually meets George Noyce (Haley), another patient. Noyce warns Daniels that Ashecliffe is performing questionable experiments on its patients, and sends the incurable to the lighthouse to be lobotomized. As Daniels leaves, Noyce asserts that everyone on the island, including Aule, is playing in a game designed for Daniels.

Daniels regroups with Aule and they make their way to the lighthouse, but as they attempt to traverse the cliffs, they become separated. Daniels finds a woman hiding in a cave, claiming to be the real Rachel Solando (Clarkson). The woman asserts she was a former psychiatrist at Ashecliffe until she discovered the experiments with psychotropic medication in an attempt to develop mind control techniques. When she attempted to alert the authorities, she was committed as a patient. Leaving the woman, Daniels finds no sign of Aule, and returns to the hospital. Dr. Cawley claims that Daniels arrived alone, with no evidence of Aule ever being there.

Determined but confused, Daniels returns to the lighthouse and breaks into it. At the top, he finds Dr. Cawley waiting for him. Cawley explains that "Daniels" is really Andrew Laeddis, incarcerated after killing his wife after she drowned their children. According to Dr. Cawley, the events of the past several days have been designed to break Laeddis' conspiracy-laden insanity by allowing him to play out the role of Daniels, an anagram of his name. The hospital staff, including Dr. Sheehan posing as Aule, were part of the test, and the migraines that Laeddis suffered were withdrawal symptoms from his medication. The memory of killing his wife briefly returns to Laeddis, and he passes out.

Laeddis awakes in the hospital, under watch of Dr. Cawley and Sheehan. When questioned, Laeddis can provide the details of how he killed his wife, which satisfies the doctors as a sign of progression; Dr. Cawley notes that they had achieved this state nine months before but Laeddis had quickly regressed. The doctor further warns that this will be Laeddis' last chance. Some time later, Laeddis relaxes on the hospital grounds with Dr. Sheehan, and begins calling him "Chuck" and saying they need to expose the conspiracy of Ashecliffe to the world. Recognizing this as a sign of regression, Dr. Cawley orders Laeddis to the lighthouse to be lobotomized; as he is taken away, Laeddis tells Dr. Sheehan that one can "live as a monster, or die as a good man", and then calmly leaves with the orderlies.

My View: I watched this movie like about 1 year ago and this movie is really interesting as the main lead, Edward "Teddy" Daniels (DiCaprio), act as an Marshal at first, investigating some cases but in the end it turn out that the whole employees in the shutter island play along with his imagination as a Marshal. You wouldn't believe it and it's really amusing that he has done this for a dozen times already. This story is really good and should watched it.

City Hunter


File:City-hunter-poster-2.jpg
Plot: In 1983, the South Korean president and his delegates are visiting Burma when a bomb planted by North Korean agents explodes, killing some high-ranking officials. This historical event is called the Rangoon bombing (also known as the Rangoon incident). To strike back, a group of five South Korean officials plan a covert operation to enter North Korea and kill several top members of the North's high command, codenamed "Clean Sweep." Lee Jin-pyo and Park Moo-yul, two Presidential Security Service bodyguards and best friends who were present at the bombing, organize a 21-man team for the mission. However, as the team wreaks havoc in Pyongyang, the officials abort the plan to avoid an international crisis if the mission is discovered. Their major concern is that the United States will withdraw its nuclear protection if the mission is made public, in light of Seoul's official declaration that it will not retaliate.

The operation is successful, but as the troops swim out from Nampo to an ROK Navy submarine assigned for their extraction, snipers from the submarine open fire on them. An already injured Park sacrifices his life to save Lee. Lee swims back to shore and returns to South Korea, where he finds out that the assault team's service and personal records have been erased.

Vowing to avenge his fallen comrades, Lee kidnaps Moo-yul's infant son. He flees to the Golden Triangle to raise the child as his own and trains the boy intensively in combat. Following an attack on a village they are living in, Jin-pyo confesses his long-term plan for revenge to the child, Lee Yoon Sung (Lee Min-ho).

Seven years later, after successfully finishing his college years and attaining a doctorate in the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yoon-sung returns to South Korea to fulfill his step-father's plan for revenge. He enters the Blue House as an IT expert under the National Communication Network Team. He is warned by Jin-pyo not to trust anyone and never fall in love, as doing so will put the people around him in danger.

While working at the Blue House, the plot takes off after Lee meets bodyguard Kim Na-na. Eventually Kim helps him to take revenge, as they discover that they have the same goal in mind. Problems occur as Jin-pyo's revenge plot unfolds, especially when Lee defies his surrogate father at several occasions as they try to identify and kill the officials, known as the "Council of Five."

My View: Quite alright, the actress quite pretty and Lee Min Ho did protray the character quite well. Overall the show is quite interesting. Should watch :)

Armageddon


File:Armageddon-poster06.jpg

Plot: The film begins with a pre-credit narration by Charlton Heston about the extinction of the dinosaurs caused by a 6-mile wide asteroid hitting the Earth 65 million years ago. In the present day, a massive meteor shower destroys the Space Shuttle Atlantis and bombards parts of New York City, the East Coast and Finland, and NASA discovers that a Texas-sized asteroid will collide with Earth in 18 days, creating another extinction event. With the military, NASA scientists, led by Dan Truman (Billy Bob Thornton) plan to embed a nuclear device 800 feet within the asteroid that, when detonated, will split the asteroid in two parts that will both safely fly past the Earth. NASA contacts Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis), considered the best deep-sea oil driller in the world, for assistance and advice. Harry returns to NASA along with his daughter Grace (Liv Tyler) to keep her away from one of his young and more rambunctious drillers, A. J. Frost (Ben Affleck), who has fallen in love with her much to Harry's dismay. Harry and Grace learn of the critical issues of the asteroid from Truman, and Harry explains he will need his team members, including A. J., to carry out the mission. Once they have been rounded up and Harry explains the situation to them, they agree to help, but only after they are assured of being rewarded from an eclectic list of demands.

As NASA puts Harry and his crew through a shortened rigorous astronaut training program, Harry and his team reoutfit the mobile drillers, named the "Armadillos", that NASA plans to use on the asteroid. When a large fragment from the asteroid wipes out Shanghai, NASA is forced to reveal its plans to the world. NASA launches two military space shuttles (U.S.A.F X-71s), named Freedom and Independence. Once in orbit, the shuttles dock with a Russian space station manned by Lev Andropov (Peter Stormare) to refuel with liquid oxygen. A fire breaks out during the transfer, and the station is evacuated before it explodes, with Lev and A. J. making a narrow escape on Independence. The shuttles continue the plan, slingshotting around the Moon in order to land on the backside of the asteroid. Traveling through the debris field behind the asteroid, Independence is punctured by debris and crashes onto the asteroid. Grace, watching from NASA headquarters, becomes distraught over A. J.'s apparent death.
Freedom lands safely, but the team realizes they missed their target area by 26 miles, and must now drill through an area composed of iron ferrite rather than the planned softer composition. When they fall significantly behind schedule and communications seem likely to fail, the military (by order of the President) initiates "Secondary Protocol"; where they will remote detonate the nuclear weapon on the asteroid's surface, which, according to Truman, will not have any effect. While Truman delays the military at Mission Control, Harry persuades the shuttle commander to disarm the bomb so they can complete the drilling.

Distracted by "Rockhound" (Steve Buscemi), who is suffering a mental breakdown, the Freedom crew loses its "Armadillo" when it strikes an explosive gas pocket and is blown into space. World panic ensues as the mission is assumed lost, just as another meteorite completely destroys Paris. A. J., Lev, and "Bear" (Michael Clarke Duncan), having survived the Independence crash, arrive in their "Armadillo" just in time to complete the drilling.

As the asteroid moves dangerously close to the earth, it begins to heat up, causing a dangerous rock storm that damages the bomb's remote trigger. They realize that someone must stay behind to trigger it manually. After all the non-flight crew volunteers, they draw straws, and A. J. is selected. As he and Harry exit the airlock, Harry rips A. J.'s air hose and shoves him back in, telling him that he's the son he never had, and he'd be proud to have him marry Grace. Harry assumes responsibility for detonating the bomb and contacts Grace to say his last goodbyes. After the Freedom moves to a safe distance, Harry detonates the bomb at the last minute (after some difficulty), and his life passes before his eyes as the bomb rips through the asteroid. The asteroid, as predicted, breaks in two, and both halves miss the Earth. Freedom lands, and the surviving crew are treated as heroes. The film ends with A. J. and Grace's wedding, complete with photos of Harry and the other lost crew members present in memoriam.

My View: Nice movie, very touching. The computer graphics were good consider it being produced in 1998. This movie is my very first few movie that I have ever watched in my life. 14 heroes, sends to space to complete a mission that would save the earth from total destruction. Wow, unbelievable. However, nothing is perfect, some of the heroes die during the process of saving the earth, only a few went back alive. It's sad but in the peoples heart, they are the always the heroes that save the earth. Watch it! It's nice, seriously :)

Avenger


 

Plot: The Asgardian Loki encounters the Other, the leader of an extraterrestrial race known as the Chitauri. In exchange for retrieving the Tesseract, a powerful energy source of unknown potential, the Other promises Loki a Chitauri army with which he can subjugate the Earth. Nick Fury, director of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., and his lieutenant Agent Maria Hill arrive at a remote research facility during an evacuation, where physicist Dr. Erik Selvig is leading a research team experimenting on the Tesseract. Agent Phil Coulson explains that the object has begun radiating an unusual form of energy. The Tesseract suddenly activates and opens a portal, allowing Loki to reach Earth. Loki takes the Tesseract and uses his scepter to enslave Selvig and several agents, including Clint Barton, to aid him in his getaway.


The Avengers become divided, both over how to approach Loki and the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D. plans to harness the Tesseract to develop weapons as a deterrent against hostile extra-terrestrials. As the group argues, Barton and Loki's other possessed agents attack the Helicarrier, disabling its engines in flight and causing Banner to transform into the Hulk. Stark and Rogers try to restart the damaged engines, and Thor attempts to stop the Hulk's rampage. Romanoff fights Barton, and knocks him unconscious, breaking Loki's mind control. Loki escapes after killing Coulson and ejecting Thor from the airship, while the Hulk falls to the ground after attacking a S.H.I.E.L.D. fighter jet. Fury uses Coulson's death to motivate the Avengers into working as a team. Stark and Rogers realize that simply defeating them will not be enough for Loki; he needs to overpower them publicly to validate himself as ruler of Earth. Loki uses the Tesseract, in conjunction with a device Selvig built, to open a portal above Stark Tower to the Chitauri fleet in space, launching his invasion.

The Avengers rally in defense of New York City (the location of the portal), but quickly realize they will be overwhelmed as wave after wave of Chitauri descend upon Earth. Rogers, Stark, and Thor evacuate civilians with assistance from Barton, while Banner transforms back into the Hulk and goes after Loki, eventually beating him into submission. Romanoff makes her way to the portal, where Selvig, freed of Loki's control, reveals that Loki's scepter can be used to close the portal. Meanwhile, Fury's superiors attempt to end the invasion by launching a nuclear missile at Manhattan. Stark intercepts the missile and takes it through the portal toward the Chitauri fleet. The missile detonates, destroying the invaders' lead ship which disables their forces on Earth. Stark's suit runs out of power and he falls back through the portal, but the Hulk saves him from crashing to the ground. Romanoff deactivates the portal to prevent further invasion. In the aftermath, Thor returns Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard. Fury notes that the Avengers will return when they are needed.

 
My Views:
Avenger Movie 2012, is the best action movie this year. (Well not sure about Dark Knight cause haven't watch it yet) But still the gather of the 6 heroes, the rich and playboy Iron Man, the first Avenger, Captain America, The God, Thor, The strongest, Hulk, the sexiest and vicious, Black Widow and the perfect shot, Hawk Eye. The 6 heroes gather together and fight against Loki with his forces which makes this movie really interesting.

As you have watched Iron Man 1 and 2, Captain America, The Hulk and Thor movies, bringing these heroes together really is amazing. Black Widow appears in Iron Man 2 movie and Hawk Eye appear in Thor movie for a short while if you have notice.

The amazing fights and the computer graphics really amaze me to the max and the sequel of this movie really excites me as well. The reason is that I really do want to see these heroes back together again and fight against evil force which awaits them somewhere in space.

Below is the trailer of the Avenger Movie 2012

KARA



About Kara: Kara (Hangul: 카라, Japanese: カラ, often stylized as KARA) is a Korean pop girl group formed by DSP Media in South Korea. The group is composed of Park Gyuri, Han Seung-yeon, Nicole Jung, Goo Ha-ra, and Kang Jiyoung. The group's name comes from the Greek word "chara" (χαρά, lit. "joy"), which they interpreted to mean "sweet melody".

Kara originally started as a four member group and made their debut with "Break It" while displaying a strong female image and a mature R&B sound. Expectations for the group to be as big as their senior labelmates, Fin.K.L, were extremely high and the members were promoted as successors to them. They released their first album titled The First Blooming in 2007. However, their debut was not well received by the public and was a commercial failure. The following year, Kim Sunghee departed the group due to parental pressure, and members Goo Ha-ra and Kang Jiyoung were eventually brought in. After their addition, the group also began to change their image and style of music to the "pretty but natural" appeal, and they eventually released their first mini-album Rock U in July 2008. They eventually achieved their first number one song with "Honey". In July 2009, the group released their second studio album entitled Revolution, which saw the group slightly returning to their original image during their debut. The album spawned the hit singles "Wanna" and "Mister", whose choreography featured the "butt-dance", that helped increase the group's popularity within East Asia.

After finding national success the group eventually began to expand their music to Japan by signing to Universal Music Japan's subsidiary label, Universal Sigma in 2010. The group's debut became a success after being dubbed as "Japan's #1 Rookie Artist of 2010" by Oricon and they also received the "New Artist Of The Year Award (International)" from the Japan Gold Disc Awards. In April 2011, the group achieved their first #1 single with "Jet Coaster Love", making them the first foreign female group since the creation of the Oricon to rank #1 in the first week of release and the first foreign female group in 30 years to do so. Overall, the group managed to sell one million physical singles within 3 years making them one of the most successful South Korean acts in Japan. Their official fanclub name is "Kamilia", which is a combination of "Kara" and the Latin word "familia", and their official color is Pearl Peach.

Rookie Diary


 

Synopsis: During the 36 days of basic training, Second Lieutenant Sun An Bang is going to transform a group of rookies from oddball civilians to disciplined soldiers. There is a total of 43 episodes for the Taiwan Drama series.

My Views:  This drama is really funny and interesting as it's shows how recruit live is during their first 3 months of their army training. Although in real life not all recruits act like them but undoubtedly some of the man or woman somewhere who have served the army should know that this kind of recruit or scenario happened during their days in army.

I like how they portray the soldiers in the way that some of them are a bit "blur" in their head, which means a bit confuse, some of them are physically good and arrogant and some of them are like trying their best to skip training. It's really a funny show and those who served the army, Asian especially, should watch it!

Running Man - Monday Couple



About Monday Couple: The Running Man Monday Couple Kang Gary aka Peaceful Gary (Due to his peaceful face when taking shots at the very first few episodes of Running Man) and Song Jihyo aka the Ace (The one who always save the team at the very last minute and also very good at doing solo mission). The reason why they are called the "Monday Couple" is because they always film Running Man on Monday thus their relationship only valid on Monday only.

The Monday Couple is really cute is the sense that they almost look like a real couple and many Running Man fans really do hope that they will become a real couple. In several episodes, both of them really care for each other until the other member could not take it any more and told them that "Are you guys really dating?".

However, the Monday Couple didn't last long when the news revealed that Song Jihyo is currently attached to her company president. Gary was sad and told Jihyo that how sad he was when he heard the news. (Joking of course!)

The Monday Couple really brings lots of joy to the Running Man fans and the fans will also not forget about the existence of Monday Couple.

Kim Jong Kook



About Kim Jong Kook:  If you have watched Running Man, X-Men (Not the movie X-men but the South Korean variety show which I will introduce later) and Family Outing, you should know Kim Jong Kook. Kim Jong Kook (born April 25, 1976) is a South Korean singer and TV personality. He was initially part of the Korean duo Turbo, later pursuing a successful career as a solo artist.

Kim Jong Kook is a very nice guy as said by his dong-saeng (younger brother like Ha Dong Hoon, Kang Gary, Daesung, Gwang Soo and etc). He takes good care not only to his dong-saeng but also to his hyung (older brother like Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin and etc).

Kim Jong Kook had a big slump after Turbo; however, he made a huge comeback with his second album. One of the songs in the second solo album called Han Nam Ja (One Man) was the reason for all his success. Furthermore, a scandal rumor with Yoon Eun Hye grabbed a lot of attention. This rumor started because both of them were permanent members of a famous variety show called X-Man. This rumor actually brought them close and they started to act like a couple in X-Man.


By 2005, Kim Jong Kook became one of Korea's most popular artists; his third album sold in excess of 300,000 copies, making it one of the year's best-selling albums in Korea. He capped off that year by sweeping the 3 Daesang from all 3 major TV stations. In doing so, he became only the second artist ever to accomplish this feat since Jo Yong Phil in the 1980s. The lead single from the album, "Lovable", topped many charts. It was also included in Pump It Up and Audition Online.

These are some of his songs:

One Man


Today More Than Yesterday


Loveable (Sarang Surowo)
 

Flipped


Flipped Poster 

Basic Plot: Juli Baker devoutly believes in three things: the sanctity of trees (especially her beloved sycamore), the wholesomeness of the eggs she collects from her backyard flock of chickens, and that someday she will kiss Bryce Loski. Ever since she saw Bryce's baby blues back in second grade, Juli has been smitten. Unfortunately, Bryce has never felt the same. Frankly, he thinks Juli Baker is a little weird--after all, what kind of freak raises chickens and sits in trees for fun? Then, in eighth grade, everything changes. Bryce begins to see that Juli's unusual interests and pride in her family are, well, kind of cool. And Juli starts to think that maybe Bryce's brilliant blue eyes are as empty as the rest of Bryce seems to be. After all, what kind of jerk doesn't care about other people's feelings about chickens and trees?

With Flipped, mystery author Wendelin Van Draanen has taken a break from her Sammy Keyes series, and the result is flipping fantastic. Bryce and Juli's rants and raves about each other ring so true that teen readers will quickly identify with at least one of these hilarious feuding egos, if not both. A perfect introduction to the adolescent war between the sexes.

My Views: This is a nice and heart warming movie where is shows the kids first love. In this case is the scenario of girls chase boys which is very different from the tradition of boys chase girls. For me I don't think that is anything bad with the girl's courage of fighting for the person she loves. I really like this movie and assure you that this movie is good to watch!

Movie Trailer:

Just for Laugh!


Plot: Prank people so to make the whole show funny!!! There are several series in many different countries like for example Asia version, Singapore version and many many more!

My View:  This show is simply too funny where you can see how they set up some pranks to prank on people and when they reveal the hidden camera, the victims does not get angry at all, well they might be but they cut off, but oh well. The main purpose of this show is to make people laugh like mad.

Laughing is the best medicine in the world, the more you laugh the healthier you will get! (Not sure though but that's how i felt :) ) But don't laugh too much cause you will become crazy when you over laugh! hahahaha





Some of the best clips in Just for Laugh! :

 
 

Harry Potter


Basic Plot:  The novels revolve around Harry Potter, an orphan who discovers at the age of eleven that he is a wizard, living within the ordinary world of non-magical, or Muggle, people. His ability is inborn and such children are invited to attend a school that teaches the necessary skills to succeed in the wizarding world. Harry becomes a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and it is in here where most of the novels' events take place. As Harry develops through his adolescence, he learns to overcome the problems that face him: magical, social and emotional, including ordinary teenage challenges such as friendships and exams, and the greater test of preparing himself for the confrontation that lies ahead.



Each book chronicles one year in Harry's life with the main narrative being set in the years 1991–98. The books also contain many flashbacks, which are frequently experienced by Harry viewing the memories of other characters in a device called a Pensieve.

My Views:  Well I am a huge fan of Harry Potter however, I didn't even read one of the Harry Potter book in my life. I only watched the movie cause of the actions and the computer graphics which excites me the most. The storyline also quite impressive but I guess is not as impressive as the one written on the book since they have condense quite a lot of stuff into a 2 hours movie for each book except for the Deathly Hollow, the split into 2 parts.

Many of you might say I should go read up the book but believe me, once I open up the book, I will get hypnotize by it and fall into deep sleep Laugh Out Loud.

But seriously, this movie I have follow it ever since I was 13 years old until the last movie which is about 10 years already. This is one of the movie that I wont  forget till I die because every time each Harry Potter movie came out, I will try my best to take out some time and go and watch no matter watching it with friends or alone, I will still continue to enjoy this movie.

The ending of this Harry Potter series really saddens me a lot but I guess that's the end of this series and hope more of such series which will capture my heart will continue to produce.

Here's a short clip of all the Harry Potter main cast:

Family Outing


File:Family Outing-logo.jpg
About the Show : The show is a two day and one night show split into two episodes.

In the first episode, it starts with a call from Yu Jae-suk, the permanent MC on the show, telling the rest of the family where the next location is. Each member arrives along with the episode's guest, greeted by Yu Jae-suk who is usually waiting in front of the town hall or a waiting shed. The guest is then given a map to follow to the house that they will be staying in. Once they reach the house, they send off the owners on their vacation and look over the list of chores that the house owners have left behind for them to complete. After this, they begin with the first chore. While completing this chore a game is played in which the family splits up into two teams. After completing the first chore they either go on to the next chore or go to prepare dinner. When preparing dinner, the family splits up the duties once again.

After dinner, the Family plays games for early morning chores. Before Park Ye-jin and Lee Chun-hee's departure, the sleeping arrangements are chosen by having a contest after dinner. Lee Hyo-ri and Park Ye-jin would rank the men in the family from first, as the most desirable, to last (1 to 6 or 7 if there are two male guests) based on how well they perform in the day and the contest. After which the guys rank the girls. Recently, the ranking activities has been replaced with games to figure who will be doing the late-night or early-morning chores. Usually one person is chosen, whether losing as a group or an individual game then choosing the rest, to make a total of three people. The first episode usually ends in the middle of the night's activity.



The second episode begins with the continuation of the night's activity. After the rankings or the nighttime chores, the Family goes to bed. They usually sleep around midnight or later, because of the night activities or because they talk so much before going to sleep. The next morning the show's producer wakes up Yu Jae-suk and gives him the instructions for the Wake Up Mission. Initially, the Wake Up Mission was in the form of a quiz but later on was changed into more physical games. Whoever loses this game, has to make breakfast for the family. The loser then picks one to sometimes three people to make the breakfast with him/her. While they make breakfast, the rest of the Family either goes back to sleep, or completes another chore. The people that makes the breakfast gets to choose what they want to cook. Most of the time, the process of making breakfast takes a long time so it will be at least noon or later when the family members eat breakfast. After breakfast, the Family does the remaining chores on the list left by the owners. While completing the final chores, another game is played. After finishing the chores the owners of the house return and the Family leaves. A preview of the next week's episode and guest/s is shown at the end of the episode.

How I felt:
This variety show really is interesting because it really is funny and on top of that, it shows the funny self of those celebraties such as the famous boy group Big Bang - Dasung being funny infront of the TV. Not only that the savage Yejin who is an actress have to throw away the beautiful and sweet personality by taking charge of doing those jobs that none of the guys would have done which is killing fish for their dinner hahaha.

I especially like the after dinner after because there's lots of interaction between the cast and the guest which allows viewers like us to get to know more about the guest and on top of that national MC Yoo Jae Suk will sometimes talk some funny stuff which makes the entire family laugh out loud.

Although is a bit sad that this variety show only lasted till 87 episodes due to some major cast such as Yoo Jae Suk have to quit the show for some other show. Well it all ends well, and now the new cast is here for Running Man! Same cast same production team for Family outing and Running Man, be sure to watch!

T-ara

T-ara, is one of my favourite South Korean girl group, cause they can really sing well, act well and dance well. Overall they are quite a fantastic group. However due to the recent event such as adding new member and kicking out existing member, T-ara receive a lot of hates from their ex-fans. 

Well, even though there might be some misunderstanding between those fans and T-ara, however, I still support T-ara, since I really like their music and dance.

Of course, fans have the choice to love and hate groups which they like or don't like, is their choice eventually.  There's nothing wrong to say who is right who is wrong until the truth surfaced. I think that there must be a reason behind this changes be it the Preseident of Core Content Media or the staff or even the member themselves.

I really do hope that they quickly clear up this mess and gave the fans an answer and continue their performance as T-ara, be it old member or new member of the group. I don't see why the new addition member to T-ara would be bad as they might come up with more interesting songs or effects to the group itself.

Last but not least, T-ara GOGOGO!

The Apprentice (Donald Trump)


File:The Apprentice Logo.png

About: The Apprentice is an American reality television show hosted by real estate magnate, businessman and television personality Donald Trump, created by British television producer Mark Burnett and broadcast on NBC. Billed as "The Ultimate Job Interview", the show stars sixteen to eighteen business people competing in an elimination-style competition for a one-year, $250,000 starting contract of running one of business magnate Trump's companies. The show typically ends with Trump eliminating one of the contestants with the words, "You're Fired".

The show first aired in January 2004 and has run for 12 seasons; from season seven onward, with the exception of season ten, it features celebrities competing for charity, under the banner The Celebrity Apprentice. In May 2012, the show was renewed for a thirteenth season.

This show is really interesting, not because of the final reward or whatsoever, but what makes me want to watch this show is the process of completing the project and when the losing team facing Mr. Trump in the boardroom. That is because from these areas, you can see how people fight for themselves. As Mr.Trump says: "When people win, they like each other, when they lose, they hate each other." This is the fact, as each and every episode proofs what Mr.Trump had said.

Throughout this entire seasons (1 to 10), I prefer season 1 and 6, the reason is because season 1, the concept is new and the participants were the pioneer batch to challenge this type of interview. As the concept was fresh, it brings out lots of interesting stuff to this show. As for season 6, the reason I like that season is because I like how team arrow works. It's funny and the concept of the winning team has it all and the losing team lose it all was fresh and nice but it only died down after that season due to poor rating which I don't know why.

Maybe different people have different views, well I not sure. But this show is worth to watch. Watch it if you like business stuff and how team works

The Apprentice Season 1 Introduction

 



My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox


Synopsis : On one day after Cha Dae Woong ran away from his grandfather, he accidently freed a nine-tailed fox who was closed in a painting for about 500 years. He didn't realize what he has done, until the Gumiho (nine-tailed fox),who took the form of a beautiful woman, appeared in front of him.

Dae Woong was really frightened that he ran away from her and fell on the riverbank.Since he was severely injured, Gumiho came to save him and gave him her most precious bead to share with him the mystic fox' strength, as she owes him her freedom. Gumiho then asked him if he can help her become human and how to act like one.

In return, she allowed him to use her bead for him to shoot for his dream action movie despite his body's severe condition. As time goes by, their mutual relationship grew deeper as they start to fall for each other.

 This drama is really funny and touching, imagine yourself dating with a nine tailed fox, hmmm interesting isn't it and at the same time, scary isn't it. But such a beautiful nine tailed-fox, who will hate her, except the fact that she ate too much! LOL!

Well those who haven't watch this drama, watch it! I can assure you that this drama won't disappoint you :)

Dragon Zakura



Plot: "Kenji Sakuragi is a poor lawyer and ex-motorcycle gang member looking for an opportunity to boost his career. His chance finally comes with the nearly bankrupt and notorious Ryuuzan High School, universally referred to as "baka gakkou" (stupid school). There, he sets up a special class that aims to prepare five students to pass the entrance exam of University of Tokyo,which is the finest university in Japan."

This is one of a best drama that I ever watched. The reason is because I go through the same thing as those student in this drama. I was a lousy student during my secondary school where I was the bottom 5% from my cohort (Base on academic result). My attitude towards studies was exactly the same as those student in this drama. I don't care about homework, do only the things that I like and etc.

However, during secondary 3, which is around 15 years old, I realize that I need to pull myself together and mustn't afford to rot my future any further. My teacher, Mrs Peter, gave me encouragement during my studies and I manage to pass my O level and proceed to Polytechnic. From there I continue to strive harder and got myself a place in National University of Singapore (NUS).

This drama shows that students are not dumb as what the society has label them, is just that they lack of motivation and the motivation to strive hard lies within themselves. Sakuragi sensei (teacher) brings in the best teacher that he had ever met and taught the 6 students during their final year in high school.

So the ending? Have to see it yourself! Whether Sakuragi sensei successfully fulfill is promise of sending 5 students to Todai, or failed to do so? Watch the show to know.

To Save a Life

 
Basic Plot: "After a childhood friend's death, Jake Taylor, an all-star athlete must change his life - and sacrifice his dreams to save the lives of others."

It is a really really great show to watch and it really inspire people to help others who in need. 

After watching this movie, it really set me thinking on some of the stuff that I did to my friends when I was young. That time really quite childish but luckily, we are still friends. We did silly things like disturb each other and make prank on each other. But we know the limit of our actions. However, in this society, there are many people facing this kind of bullying or being bully, be it physically or through cyber network.

There are tons of cases, especially on cyber bullying which cause the victim suffered from depression and even worse death. This movie is really worth a try to watch it with your friends, family or even just yourself. 

They also have a Facebook page base on this movie https://www.facebook.com/tosavealife
