tv drama: my princess

Just recently watched this and it was a good series, with a right mix of funny and touching scenes. Seung-heon is one of the first Korean actors that I knew of what with the popularity of Autumn in my Heart (Autumn Tale) back in 2000. It was one of the Korean series that put Korean series on the map.

About the series:

An ordinary college student, Lee Seol (Kim Tae Hee), finds out she’s a princess. The grandson of Daehan Group, Park Hae Young (Song Seung Hun), is put in charge of educating Seol on proper etiquette. However, Hae Young is put in a precarious situation when he finds himself drawn to Seol, the girl who will take away his inheritance if the monarchy is restored.

Trailer: (sorry, I couldn’t find one that was subbed in English)

stars

There is a bit of excitement over in Manila the past few days as hollywood stars Rachel Weisz, Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton are there to shoot scenes for the latest installment of the Bourne franchise. Daniel Craig who is married to Rachel is also in town. I think the last time there was a shoot held in Manila for a hollywood movie was for a Claire Danes movies, where the Philippines stood in for Thailand. Can’t recall the name of that movie now, but Claire caused an uproar when she said that Manila was filthy and such. Anyways, back to Bourne, they’ve been shooting in Manila with Norton just arriving a few days ago.

movie : love sick

So if you watched “In Time With You (我可能不會愛你)” and loved Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen in it, they have a new movie out entitled Love Sick. It was actually filmed before In Time With You but released after the series aired.

Check it out:

tv drama: in time with you

One of my favorite actress is Ariel Lin. And I really enjoy all the characters that she has portrayed so far. It is nice to see her “grow” through her series/films over the years. A few weeks back, I was on a marathon streak for her latest tv series “In Time With You (我可能不會愛你)”.

Here’s a little synopsis from Drama Wiki:

On her 30th birthday, Cheng You Qing received an email on “the symptoms of premature aging” from Li Da Ren, her best friend of 14 years. Unable to accept that Li Da Ren is like a fine wine that will get better with age and she is like a grape that will dry into a raisin as years go by, she made a bet with Li to see who will get married first before they turn 35. As she looked around for a potential husband, she discovered that she was surrounded by unacceptable candidates, like gay assistant or cheating ex-boyfriend. The only man who could love her despite her stubbornness is her best friend. The only problem was that they both swore that they were not or will ever be romantically attracted to each other.

school holidays

School holidays are just around the corner, although it is just a break in between terms it is hard to think of what to do for those two weeks. We could go and watch a movie but I don’t know how I will do at the cinema. Maybe if we catch the first screening that maybe even if she gets bored, it will be more manageable? Who knows, the only way to find out is to go and do it. We’ll see if I can muster up the courage, haha!

There are two movies that I’m sure E would love to see.

Kung fu Panda 2

and Cars 2
