I see no point in giving out personal details. Just know that I'm usually known as sal. msleah is my alter ego.

I believe if you don't already know who I am, you wouldn't be here in the first place.

Actions And The (melo) Dramas

Yep, although the FYP is ending soon, and the stress are coming in, I have to watch something to entertain myself, no?
I ended up with KDramas. Goong/Princess Hours was really nice, although it started to get depressing and slow near the end, but then, it did have a reasonable ending. I'm contented with that. Although I heard a second season is already on its way, I think it was 'complete' with season 1 itself, but hey, if I get to see more Yul, then no complaints. He's forever my prince! Anyway, I didn't really know what its about at first, but I ended up enjoying the show.

Just finished watching Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang/Sassy Girl Choon Hyang and it was hilarious. I totally loved the characters since they're so.. unique! I love comedy KDramas, I can't stand sappy love stories, which is not only draggy, but then it gets repetitive, and is lengthy. And Korean dramas are all concentrated on one thing - Love. JDramas has at least other themes involved, but its been so long since I've watched JDramas.

And I just realised that all the KDramas (KMovies not included) that I've watched have a lot of similarities; not that I've watch a lot. There's Full House - which was my first, and then followed by Kim Sam Soon, Goong, and lastly DGCH.

The similarities?

1. A contract is involved. Marriage, partnership, whatever it is, all those 4 dramas includes a contract.

2. An ex-lover. Or a still-in-love-with person. All of the 4 dramas has the main lead guy in love with another woman, whilst signing the contract. (But of course, in the end it just had to be the main leads together, right?)

3. Comedy! Like I said, I can't stand sappy soap operas so I'd pick mainly comical dramas. I mean, I have to watch a show and love it; not fall asleep and getting depressed halfway through.


Singapore Idol is interesting. I actually find myself following the show on Channel 5. And I forgot to mention the other time, but some of them really have talent! Really impressive. I already have my eyes out, open and on the lookout on some of them. Can't say who though, but mostly its the guys. HAH! Something must have been wrong with my eyes. And I didn't know that Terence was in it. It was quite surprising, since I thought if they're already 'stars' they do not need the honour of auditions. Boy, was I wrong. But he's really good.

I'm watching TV more. Hee, and I heard they're playing Goong on TV soon. Will definitely catch it again. In the meantime, I'm gonnna leave you with this :-

The 10 Commandments of KDrama.
1. Relationships - Love Triangle

2. Marriage - Inteference/ Opposition from family

3. The Man's Profession - Rich. Good-Looking. Intelligent. OR not. STUBBORN.

4. Girl's Profession/Job - Work at guy's company or rarely get recognition for their work.

5. The Republic of Korea Fits in Buddha's Palm?!

There are a dozen of parks in Seoul (The 3rd most populated city in the WORLD). What is the likelihood of two people with DAY JOBS spotting each other like that? But against LOGIC and PROBABILITY, One of the Main Character always sees the other person with the EVIL CHARACTER EVERYONE LOVES TO HATE (Like Chae Rin in DGCH).

6. The extent of lover's touching BEFORE & AFTER the conflict is resolved

While dating, it is ALWAYS a hug. After their conflict gets resolved, ALWAYS a KISS. There can be no IN-BETWEEN. In the earlier stages of their relationsihp, they are always hugging (no more, no less), but when the obstacle (whether its the EVIL 3rd Party and/or Evil-Crazy Parents), they start kissing EVEN THOUGH NO ONE TOLD THEM TO. Can't they kiss BEFORE and hug AFTER?

7. Cancer & Car Accidents - The main character always dies of cancer.

8. THE RICH CHARACTER's HOUSE IS ALWAYS 2-STORY HIGH

9. The Must-Have: Slapping

When the main character's pissed: SLAP. Unsatisfied? Slap. Fighting? Slap. Seeking revenge? Slap. [insert random emotion]? Slap.

As I watch k-dramas, I wonder if the roots of Korean culture lies within the Art of Slapping. Whatever the problem is, a good-ole slap can solve it. Currently, the REALISM of the slapping fascinates me. They hit hard.

10. The Chauffeur's NAME IS ALWAYS 'KIM'???

It's true that Kim is the most common Last Name in South Korea, but MOST, if not ALL drivers in the drama are named Kim. Can't there be a Driver Park? Driver Choi? Driver Cha? Driver Bang? Driver Lee? Driver Lim?! There are countless surnames, yet the driver must be 'Driver Kim' or else. Do many Kims work in the transportation field?!
