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.
