Place to Visit: Myeong Ga

If there's something better than k-drama and k-pop, it's definitely k-food. Korean food. Aka heaven on earth.

Unfortunately there aren't many Korean restaurants in Bandung. But don't worry, there are still some places you can visit to try all the food you usually see in those k-dramas.

One recommended Korean restaurant you should visit is Myeongga, located at Jl. Dr. Sutami No.52A Setra Sari, Bandung. A while ago I went there with my friends and ordered a lot of food. They also give free korean side dish (banchan), of course, including kimchi. Ah, and free ice cream or coffee!

Lee Hongki (홍기) - I'm Saying (말이야) - The Heirs OST Part 1

It's Wednesday. It's The Master's Sun day.

Get yourself together, woman! It's over! 

Today a new drama, The Heirs (상속자들) - SBS, will air its first episode. The stars look promising, flawless faces here, there, and everywhere. Well maybe it's needed to fill the big hole that remains in every girl's heart after Joo Joong Won left us to live happily ever after with Tae Gong Shil.

Let's figure out which one is right:

Lee Min Ho + Kim Woo Bin + CNBlue's Min Hyuk + Choi Jin Hyuk aka Papa Gumiho < / = / > So Ji Sub?

You can watch the drama on SBS tonight, but if you're feeling impatient, you can first watch the 15 minutes preview.


They also released the first theme song today, "I'm Saying..." by FT Island's Lee Hongki. I predict the OST album will be star studded too...


Check out the lyrics!

Hangeul from Music.Daum

난 몰래 온 사랑에 놀라서 가슴 시린 기억만 남게 했나 봐
Nan mollae on sarange nollaseo gaseum sirin gieogman namge haetna bwa
Because I was surprised by love that came without me knowing,
it looks like ony heart-tingling memories that remained
니 눈에 고인 눈물도 모르고 애써 외면 했다는 게 후회가 돼
Ni nune goin nunmuldo moreugo aesseo oemyeon haetdaneun ge huhoega dwae
Not knowing that tears welled up in your eyes and turning away from you, I regret it

그땐 어려서 그땐 몰라서 널 아프게 했나 봐
Geuddaen eoryeoseo geddaen mollaseo neol apeuge haetna bwa
I was young back then, I didn't know back then that you were hurting
이젠 알지만 너무 늦은 건가 봐
Ijen aljiman neomu neujeun geonga bwa
Now I know but it's looks like it's too late

너만 보인단 말이야 널 사랑한단 말이야
Neoman boindan mariya neol saranghandan mariya
I'm saying I only see you, I'm saying I love you
눈을 감아도 너만 보인단 말이야
Nuneul gamado neoman boindan mariya
I'm saying I only see you even with eyes closed
너만 부른단 말이야 널 사랑한단 말이야
Neoman bureundan mariya neol saranghandan mariya
I'm saying I only call for you, I'm saying I love you
입을 막아도 너만 부른단 말이야
Ibeul magado neoman bureundan mariya
I'm saying I only call for you even with mouth shut

바보 같은 사랑에 아파서 이기적인 사랑만 내게 줬나 봐
Babo gateun sarange apaseo igijeonin sarangman naege jwotna bwa
Because foolish love was painful, because only selfish love was given to me
사랑했다는 한마디 못하고 그저 바라만 봤던 게 후회가 돼
Saranghaetdaneun hanmadi mothago geojeo maraman bwatdeon ge huhoega dwae
I couldn't say I love you and only looked at you, I regret it

미안하단 말 사랑한단 말 들을 수가 없는데
Mianhandan mal saranghandan mal deureul suga eobneunde
The words "I'm sorry", the words "I love you", you can't hear them
이제 와서야 네게 소리치잖아
Ije waseoya nege sorichijanha
But now I'm shouting them out to you

너만 보인단 말이야 널 사랑한단 말이야
Neoman boindan mariya neol saranghandan mariya
I'm saying I only see you, I'm saying I love you
눈을 감아도 너만 보인단 말이야
Nuneul gamado neoman boindan mariya
I'm saying I only see you even with eyes closed
너만 부른단 말이야 널 사랑한단 말이야
Neoman bureundan mariya neol saranghandan mariya
I'm saying I only call for you, I'm saying I love you
입을 막아도 너만 부른단 말이야
Ibeul magado neoman bureundan mariya
I'm saying I only call for you even with mouth shut

내겐 미칠 것 같은 사랑 내겐 죽을 것 같은 사랑
Naegen michil geot gateun sarang naegen jugeul geot gateun sarang
Love that makes me feel like crazy, love that makes me feel like dying
지독한 상처에도 너야만 하니깐
Jidoghan sangcheoedo neoyaman hanikkan
Even if I'm hurt so badly, it has to be you

너만 찾는단 말이야 널 사랑한단 말이야
Neoman chatneundan mariya neol saranghandan mariya
I'm saying I only look for you, I'm saying I love you
매번 숨어도 너만 찾는단 말이야
Maebeon sumeodo neoman chatneundan mariya
I'm saying I only look for you even if you hide everytime
너만 그린단 말이야 널 사랑한단 말이야
Neoman geurindan mariya neo saranghandan mariya
I'm saying I only long for you I'm saying I love you
가슴 저리게 너만 그린단 말이야
Gaseum jeorige neoman geurindan mariya
I'm saying I only long for you until my heart grows numb

너만 부른단 말이야 널 사랑한단 말이야
Neoman bureundan mariya neol saranghandan mariya
I'm saying I only call for you, I'm saying I love you
입을 막아도 너만 부른단 말이야
Ibeul magado neoman bureundan mariya
I'm saying I only call for you even with mouth shut

Man to Adore: So Ji Sub (Part 2)

The Master's Sun ended last night. Let's all take a moment to mourn over our loss of one of the best drama in k-drama history.


Because we need to finish what we started I owe hundreds people who read Man to Adore: So Ji Sub (Part 1), and because many of you seem to have missed So Ji Sub already, now I'm sitting in front of my lappie to write this post. There are still a lot of things to write about our dearest So Ji Sub ahjussi oppa, and as promised,  this post will be about his movies. (Does it mean there will be part 3? Let's wait and see.)

So Ji Sub's movie list is not as long as his drama list, so I guess this post will have more pics than the first one. Yay!

Sexy So Ji Sub to open this post. Stop touching your monitor, readers.

I have only watch 4 So Ji Sub's movies: Rough Cut, Sophie's Revenge, Always, and A Company Man.

We'll start with Rough Cut (2008).

So Ji Sub | Rough Cut

I'm actually not a big fan of action movie, but the last scene in this movie made me drop my jaw. It was one intense hitting-punching-jabbing scene.

And all the mud! I didn't know who is who anymore...

Starring So Ji Sub and Kang Ji Hwan, this movie gave them both many awards. The story writer is Mr. Kim Ki Duk (he's a genius!), and if you're a fan of k-movie I'm sure you've heard his name. Just like other Kim Ki Duk's movies, Rough Cut has a dark aura (?) and unique storyline. Watch it!

Chic Joo Joong Won is Gangster Gang Pae

Next, we have Sophie's Revenge (2009). It's a Chinese-Korean movie (although I think the only Korean is So Ji Sub). I wish I can see more of So Ji Sub in the movie, but sadly he's not the leading role (how come!?).

So Ji Sub | Sophie's Revenge

The cast of this movie are all famous stars (Zhang Zi Yi, Peter Ho, So Ji Sub, Fan Bing Bing, Ruby Lin). A light romantic-comedy you can watch when you have too much time in hands. Fun, but honestly, forgettable.

So Ji Sub as a *ehmHOTehm* surgeon named Jeff.

So Ji Sub & Zhang Zi Yi

Moving on to the next movie, my favorite, Always / Only You (2011). 

So Ji Sub | Always


So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo

If I have to pick one word to describe this movie, it will be 'BEAUTIFUL'. If I can pick 2 words: 'VERY BEAUTIFUL'. Beautiful story, cast, cinematography, songs... I LOVE it, I can watch this movie again and again and I'll still love it.

So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo

So many beautiful posters.

I shouldn't post every poster I found but I just can't choose.

So what's this movie about? Cheol Min (So Ji Sub) is an ex-boxer who had a dark past and now living his life without purpose. He's hired as a parking lot attendant and on his first day he met Jung Hwa (Han Hyo Joo), a blind woman who always goes to the booth to watch drama with the previous parking attendant ahjussi. They start to know each other and fall in love, but...

Okay, I'll stop. I don't want to ruin it, because you should watch this beautiful movie with your own eyes.

I'm practically spamming here...

The latest movie from So Ji Sub is A Company Man (2012).

So Ji Sub | A Company Man

Hyeong Do (So Ji Sub) looks like an ordinary (with extraordinary look) employee, but he's actually a hitman. 

If only this guy works in my office...

But of course hitman is also an ordinary human, as he can fall in love too, and Hyeong Do found himself falling for a single mother of two, Su Yeon (Lee Mi Yeon). He wants to change his life and quit his job, but of course it's not easy. Choose your job well, people.



So Ji Sub wearing suit and tie, holding a gun. There will be many victims.

Shoot me with you love bullets.

Congratulations, you have reached the last paragraph. I know this post, and also the first part, lack so many details, so feel free to leave a comment so the others can read it!
