Reply 1997 [Kdrama]

Image
Hi guys! Here is one of the best refreshing-take drama called 'Reply 1997'. I love the characters and the relationships in between all. It's full of surprises and fun. The drama starts in when 6 friends are united together in high school reunion in 2012 and they talked/reflected back on what happened in their lives back when they were 18 yrs old in 1997. There as each of them talked about their lives, we are taken back in the music, fashion and other things of 1997. Music are great. Sung Shi-won and Yoon Yoon-jae are really great together. Their relationship started as best friends with no love feelings for each other until Shi-won wore eye contact instead of glasses that stirredYoon-jae's heart. Shi-won was too blind to see that. Shi-won and Yoon-jae are so different like loud and stupid well the other quiet and smart...yet they are cute together. There are also one other very lovable and cute couple! However I don't want to spoil the mood. It's best to...

Her name is Go Dok-mi (played by Park Shin-hye) who is very lovable. She likes to peek in her neighbour's window and do the same things he does. A guy who make games came to Korea from Spain to do cupid love for his brother and her friend (who he had a unrequited love but she likes his brother). The guy is called Enrique Guem (played by Yoon Shi-yoon) who is talkative, cute, and loves soccer. A situation happens when Enrique discovers Go Dok-mi spying on his brother apartment and that begins the story where the quiet girl is involved with all flower boys.

Best Friend - Jason Chen (Official Music Video)

Image
[Video is NOT MINE. Credit to the maker and artist.] Hi everyone out there! Here we have a video that I watched and like. It's the first video from the artist Jason Chen that I came across by accident while I was listening to YouTube music. Have a listen. I'm guessing majority of you have seen him, heard about him or even watched his music videos from YouTube. It's a amazing he can create songs and this song, he make a mandarin version as well. Talented? Agree. He also sings covers of many great famous songs like "Give me a Reason (Pink ft Nate Ruess) (Jason Chen & Megan Nicole cover)", "Just a dream (Nelly) (ft with Joseph Vincent cover)". Btw, Joseph Vincent has his own YouTube videos. Jason Chen also sings mandarin covers like Wang LeeHom's "Still in love with you" and Guang Liang's "Tong Hua". I fell in love with the Tong Hua video with Jason Chen and J Rice singing and playing their instrument. They did both ma...

Autumn in my heart [Korean drama]; My little bride [Korean movie]

Hi everyone! Hope you guys are well. Today I came across a wonderful song "Rain drops keep falling on my head". I enjoyed it! <3 Very joyful~ I discovered it (I think I already heard it before) in the drama called "Autumn in my heart" Korean drama with 16 episodes. It's a sad love story about two siblings who believed they are siblings but in fact it was discovered the girl was swapped from another girl at birth in a hospital. Very teary - just like other korean dramas such as A tree of heaven, Stairway to heaven, and 49 days. This drama is very well done with great actors and actresses. The musics are surprisingly used really well in each parts of the scenes- with classical and other types of songs. The young actors are great in this. The reason I watched this that the young actress Moon Geun-young is in it. It was her first acting in a drama series. Moon Geun-young is well known for 'Autumn in my heart', 'My little bride', 'Love me...

Prince turns to frog [Drama]

Hi and welcome, Today, I'm introducing you one of the famous and well known taiwanese drama - 2nd best rating: 'Prince turns to frog'. It has 30 episodes. The story about a fated meeting between a guy and a girl. At first, they don't get along well but after the guy has an accident that leads him to forget his past, he was looked after by the girl and her family. By the way, the guy comes from a rich family and his character is arrogant and mean before the accident but since he met the girl, his attitude changed. This drama has lots of hot actors and pretty actresses!~ some of them came from boy bands like K-ONE and 183 club, and a girl band called 7 flowers. That's how I know about these bands - their songs are really good. Also, 183 club and 7 flowers collaborated together a number of times. One of their songs is in the drama called Call my name. They kind of remind me of Fahrenheit and S.H.E. when they perform together. Beside the bands, I like the main cha...

Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang [Manhwa]

Image
Yes, it's a manhwa and yes, it is so different from some of the famous manhwa. Indeed, it's unique with the author making it Korean manga (so read it from left to right!) and setting it in China. This is another great manhwa following after the manga "Wedding" as they are both set in ancient China, great strong characters, comedy, and romance, plus the art is beautiful! Worth reading it if you enjoy Wedding! :)  "Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang" (English is: "A lonesome fragrance waiting to be appreciated") is about a maid girl called Pingting Bai who was kidnapped from a kingdom and was sold to another kingdom. There was no news of her master and she hopes to one day escaped and find him. Later she meets the princess of the kingdom she was sold to and was placed as her personal servant where incidents leading her to meet her master's fearsome enemy.  Enjoy! Can't wait for the next chapter to update in English. It is still continuing. There is als...

Wedding [Manga]

Image
The title itself seems normal and sounds boring (for me) BUT surpirsingly it's a very interesting manga with great characters, drawings and unique plot. It's full of comedy, hints of romance, and yeah if you are into historical theme then this manga is for you! =D "Wedding" by the author and artist Lin Yu Chin, sets in the Chinese ancient time and it focuses on a kingdom where a fortune teller foretold that princess Yang Mimi will have to marry an ugly man if she wants to be happy. So as her marriage approach, her parents try to match her with ugly men but she refused and decided to search for her husband by herself. As she went off outside of the palace, she met a handsome gentleman but he is not what he seems to be. The manga is completed which chapters 1 to 14. There is also a sequel to it called "Wedding Season 2" and is still continuing in English translation. I was lucky enough to find my sibling reading it and have the guts to start reading it. ...

Image
I stumbled across this manga 'Taiyou no uta' while I was researching for another manga. Very fortunate to  pick it and read! :) The english title is 'A song to the sun'. It involves romance, josei, slice of life, school life (a bit), drama, and sadly it's a tragedy.  It has four chapters and is completed. The storyline goes when a teenage girl who has a disease which cause her to have to stay away from the sun.

Watashi no Mahoutsukai-sama [Manga]

Image
  Hi everyone, This manga started off with a girl, Takatsuki who confessed to a guy who she liked temporarily. However she was rejected and was seen by her absent minded classmate, Sakura. Sakura cheered her up by performing magic tricks. This is quite a simplistic plot- very nice. :) I do not know if it is a continues series. At present, there is only one chapter. Enjoy!

Some of the good mandarin songs I have been listening to

Koi dano Ai dano [Manga]

Image
I know it's kind of unlike me who likes romance to recommend this series. It involves more to do with a girl who is 15 and she spend most of her life observing people. Beside that, she has a honest but rude personality. It contains comedy, shoujo, school life and a bit of romance (though she's not interested in love).  This is one of the unusual manga but it is one of the good ones where it's entertaining and you don't see much lovely dovey stuffs between the two main characters (if this is what you want). At the beginning, it will be hard to adjust to this manga as it is different from all the other romantic mangas however, keep reading it/rereading.  The four best friends who hang out since middle school Kanado and Tsubaki  

Most popular chinese song: Tong Hua by Guang Liang!

Hi everyone, Hope you well on the public holiday - Queen's Birthday! Me, I stayed at home the whole day playing farmville2 on facebook... and listening to music. -_- What a lazy -beside the agency nursing work- unemployed girl I am. Sigh. I'm too sad to do anything like hunting... Anyways, this is a song which a lot of people would have heard of. I found this from one of the top recommendations chinese songs video in youtube. Tong Hua is about a guy singing to the girl that, even though he cannot be like the prince in the fairytales she read, he can be an angel to protect her. :) ... I just found out I already post a similar post about the song... sorry guys! I'm so forgetful or that this song is too good to be kept in. :P Here is the lyrics in pinyin to learn how to sing it:  http://onlinelearnchinese.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=66  Enjoy~ love happydaisy

Apologies and short explanation of the absent

Hi everyone, Lately I had been absent due to commitment to fast for a month without manga and dramas. So I can get my acts going with job hunting (which didn't helped much >< being lazy). I'm onto my 23rd day now which is impressive with the help of my sister's accountability. As a result of the fasting, I wouldn't be able to post mangas and movies recommendations. Sorry to those who had been reading my blog. Will come back after 2nd of June! :) For now, take care!

Praying- Let's talk to God!

Praying is a Christian jargon word for talking. It is about communicating to God. There are many ways to talk to God and it's like a personal relationship between you and Him when you talk one to one with Him. Best yet, He listens and wants you to share your thoughts/day/and many other things to Him! Praying can also be done by one self or with a group. It can be silent (speaking in one's mind) or saying to God out loud.  Here are the bible passages that can encourage you to know how to pray: Romans 12:12 'Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.' 1 Thessalonians 5:17 '...pray continually,...' Ephesians 6:18 ' And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.'  There are more passages on about praying but I will write them some other time.  So you can talk to God about anything - your worries, your wants. One way...

Cynical Orange [Manhwa]

Image
I just finished a manhwa called 'Cynical Orange' which is a mixed of romance, comedy, tragedy and psychological... A good manga but to me it went to a not so lovable top mangas section due to the part where complications happen... this is just an opinion. Overall, I think it's a good plot with interesting unique characters. I love the main two characters together. I like the author's beautiful drawings as well. :) It is completed with 9 volumes in english translation. From: mangareader.net

Choi Ida deals with her stress by dressing up as a boy, Yodah and goes out to fight bad guys. She met a guy who kissed her as Ida but he falls for her as a 'boy'. This is a mixed of romance, gender blend, drama, adventure, comedy, psychological, school life, shoujo, slice of life and action. It is completed with 42 chapters.

Fahrenheit [music band]

Image
Hi again and this time I'm introducing one of my favourite asian boys band - Fahrenheit. It started in 2005 so it's an old band but is still here now. This band consists of four taiwanese boys around 30s (now) (but they're still handsome/cute/hot >< lol): Jiro Wang, Calvin Chen, Aaron Yan, and Wu Chun (who left in 2011 to concentrate on his acting career). I love their songs. They're well known for their songs which are sang with the girls band- S.H.E. such as Wo Xin (New Home). They also sang their own songs which are popular and some are featured in popular taiwanese dramas such as Tokyo Juliet, Hana Kimi, and Momo Love which they played in. Some songs that are great to listen: Love you a lot  (from Hana Kimi) Hen An Jing (Very Quiet- from 'Momo Love') Wo You Wo De Young Ai Dao From google search. ^^

Fushigi Yuugi [anime]

Image
If you love Inu Yasha, you'll love this anime. Welcome aboard the old time anime 1995-6 anime: Fushigi Yuugi (The Mysterious Play)! Sorry I haven't been doing any blogging lately (Been lazy). Lately I had been watching a catchy romantic anime which is similar to the Inu Yasha anime. It's pack with handsome guys you want to dream of, fantasy, a modern girl travelled to ancient world and was put to save the country as a priestess, comedy, a fast pace romance, action, great opening and ending songs! Very anticipating anime- a must watch!  ^^ It contains two seasons - altogether 52 episodes, and OVA. It sets in ancient Chinese era where there is an emperor. A modern girl named Miaka Yuki came across an ancient book which lead her into the other world. She was told that she is the priestess of Suzaku who will save the people in the country and that she have to find seven Celestial Warriors of the god Suzaku to help her get three wishes from Suzaku.
