KDrama to Watch: Heart To Heart (하트 투 하트, 2015, tvN)

I'm still alive, people!

I'm back because I want to write: "Go watch tvN's Heart To Heart because it's really good and it deserves so much love from as many people as possible!"

Love the story, love the OSTs (calling all K-indie lovers!), love the cast (awesome chemistry), love everything about this drama. There are still 10 episodes left, I hope this drama will stay awesome till the end *crossing all my fingers and toes*.

Tearliner ft. Zitten - Love Lies - Heart to Heart OST

What is the drama about?

Our main character is Cha Hong Do (Choi Kang Hee), who is afraid of meeting people. She lived with her grandmother, but after her grandma passed away, she spent most of her time staying at home. She wears helmet when she needs to go outside, and disguises as an old lady to earn her living as a housemaid.

But this is a romantic comedy, and in dramaland, even the most awkward woman who looked like 80 years old grandma at times and look like Power Ranger at other times will get involved with at least two hot oppas.

Hong Do had a crush on Detective Jang Doo Soo (Lee Jae Yoon / Hot Oppa #1), who helped her when there was a robbery in her house. Because she wanted to see him, she went out of her house wearing helmet and dance Bar Bar Bar, and went to Detective Jang's house to bring him side dishes she made for the past 7 years.

Hong Do wants to cure her social phobia, so she went to a psychiatrist, Go Yi Suk (Chun Jung Myung / Hot Oppas #2). Then things happened. A lot of exciting things. Go watch it, I won't spoil it.

KDrama to Watch: You're All Surrounded

Dear all Cha Seung Won fans and Dokko Jin lovers, let's all hug and cry happy tears together because HE'S BACK!

We can finally see him again every Wednesday and Thursday night, in SBS drama titled "You're All Surrounded". His movie "High Heels" is also coming soon this June, but we'll get to that later.

If you live in Dramaland, I believe lately you have nightmare everyday. Because almost ongoing dramas these days are too emotional, dark, thrilling, giving-you-headache kind of dramas. You may also find it hard to choose because there are a lot of new dramas coming your way. Let me tell you, "You're All Surrounded by Hot Police" is the answer. Even it's not pure comedy (because there are still blood, angry people, revenge), at least it feels like a refreshing drama (for your mind and your eyes) that will make you fall in love.

Why?

Cha Seung Won. I don't even have to tell you why. It's obvious, he's Cha Seung Won. The hottest ahjussi out there.

Lee Seung Gi. He's Yoona's, but he's also loved by every kdrama fangirls I know.

Ahn Jae Hyun. Cheon Song Yi's adorable brother. Eye candy. Handsome and cute. It's unfair.

Go Ara. Tough girl. Leaving Trash Oppa and Chilbongie to get Lee Seung Gi (virtual high five if you watch Reply 1994 and love it).

Hot men in uniform. Guns. Nuff said.

Most of the first episode is like Reply 2003 (spot Kim Dongwan and Shin Hyesung!) because they want to show you why Kim Ji Yong (Lee Seung Gi) becomes a policeman. His mother is killed because she stood as a witness in court for a murder case. The detective who handle that case was Seo Pan Suk (Cha Seung Won). He tried to convince Ji Yong's mother to stand as a witness and said he would protect her from the bad men who threatened her. He obviously failed to keep his promise, and Ji Yong thought he was one of the bad men (yes, things make it look like he's one of them but I still think it's a misunderstanding). Grown up Ji Yong came back with new identity, Eun Dae Gu, new recruits in the violent crime unit at Gangnam Police Station and worked under Seo Pan Suk. What will happen? Just watch it because I don't know. Only first two episodes are out, so watch it while it's hot!

PS: Dingdong appeared as a cameo too. Remember this kid from The Greatest Love? Still cute and chubby! :)))

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! 

Man to Adore: So Ji Sub (Part 1)

If you're maybe one of the rare regular visitors of this blog, you must have known that I adore So Ji Sub. I've talked about So Ji Sub so many times before The Master's Sun, before he becomes the most wanted ahjussi hottie in South Korea. Now that he becomes one, I feel like I need to write a "So Ji Sub Special", for the sake of his new fans. (Where have you been, girls? But it's okay, it's not too late to know him now.)

So Ji Sub | Vivien

This is So Ji Sub. He's in mid 30s (what!?) and he gets more gorgeous as he gets older..., actually he looks like he doesn't age. He gets younger.

Who is So Ji Sub? Most people may know him as an actor, but wait, he's also a rapper, photographer, cafe owner... okay I'll get to that later. I'll talk about Actor So Ji Sub first.

Before becoming Joo-goon, So Ji Sub has acted in many dramas and films. In this post, I will only talk about the ones I've seen. I first saw him in Glass Slippers (2002). I did't actually watch the drama, I just sometimes took a glance while my parents were watching it every night in the living room. I was 14 and dolls seemed more interesting than hot ahjussis, but I somehow remember him and instantly recognized him when I saw I'm Sorry I Love You later.

So Ji Sub | Glass Slippers

In Glass Slippers, he acted as a "Bruce Lee wannabe", covered in bruises all the time, has no money (Dramaland's unspoken rule #1: men who aren't bloody rich have to be good at fighting), and loves a woman. That's all I can remember. Maybe I should find the drama and watch it later.

So Ji Sub | I'm Sorry I Love You

In I'm Sorry I Love You (2004), he became the most unfortunate man in the world. [Spoiler!] Abandoned by his mother, shot in the head protecting his ex-girlfriend who's marrying someone else, given only several months to live, fell in love with a woman who loved his step brother, and when the woman finally fell for him, he died. And then the woman killed herself. I can hardly remember any happy scenes from the drama, I was crying inside all the time. Even the rare happy scenes made me cry too. The only happy thing is you can see a lot of half naked So Ji Sub here. Yes, it's definitely something to be happy about. I'm watching the drama again because it's been 9 years... and I'm still crying over this poor man.

So Ji Sub | Cain and Abel

And then there is Cain and Abel (2009). So Ji Sub, as a doctor. I'll hang out at the hospital every day.

So Ji Sub | Cain and Abel

Everyone who says that Gong Hyo jin is the luckiest actress may not know Han Ji Min. Well, Gong Hyo Jin has had her hand on Cha Seung Won and So Ji Sub, but Han Ji Min got Eric Mun (twice!) and So Ji Sub. Han Ji Min definitely wins this round, because Eric Mun even risked his life to save her from a freaky accident while filming Wolf (2006) and then she met a hot doctor, Lee Cho In in Cain and Abel. There was even marriage rumor between So Ji Sub and Han Ji Min at that time because of the chemistry between them.

So Ji Sub and Han Ji Min

I also tried to watch Road No. 1 (2010). Until this day I haven't finished it. Maybe I just don't really into guns and tanks. And his face is covered in mud all the time. So Ji Sub holding gun looks sexy though.

So Ji Sub | Road No. 1

The drama was about Korean war, starring So ji Sub, Kim Ha Neul and Yoon Kye Sang.

So Ji Sub | Road No. 1

Next on the list is...

So Ji Sub | Ghost

Ghost / Phantom (2012). It's a good drama, with awesome plot, brilliantly planned, and has so many twists. If you love drama about investigation, criminal case, etc, you should check this out. If you love So Ji Sub in black suit, you really shouldn't miss this one. But if you're looking for romance, this is not the one for you, you should just watch him in...

So Ji Sub | The Master's Sun

The Master's Sun (2013). This is So Ji Sub's latest drama. Written by Hong Sisters, this is guaranteed to make your heart flutter. In this drama, he acted as Joo-goon. He's a rich CEO of Kingdom Company, but that's not why our leading actress, Gong Hyo Jin as Tae-yang, is attracted to him. She sees him as something else, a ghost repellent. She can see ghost, but when she touches him, POOF!, the ghosts disappear. And now every woman wants to touch him too. We don't need that since we (mostly?) can't see ghost, but I'm sure touching So Ji Sub will make all our problems disappear.

So Ji Sub | The Master's Sun

This ongoing drama is hilarious, romantic, spooky, funny, sad, a full packaged drama. One of the best drama I've seen so far. There are also so many quotable lines and cute moments you're gonna remember for a long time.

Because people don't really like reading long post I'm lazy, I'll continue with his movies and other projects in another post.. 

Don't forget to watch Tha Master's Sun new episode tonight... and Happy Chuseok!

Update: Part 2 here.
