Everything Korean....

Okay...I know I haven't been updating my blog....but thats because I was really really preoccupied with KOREAN DRAMAS!!! Yes...ursweetlullaby is officially an OBASAN....Aunty..whatever...

Here are the dramas which I watched with a span of 1 week!!!! There are a couple more than what's listed here but I couldn't find any pix so here is what I have!

Sweet 18!

A story about the love between a 28 and 18 year old couple! A starry-eyed and mischievous high school girl and an public prosecutor. They overcome their age difference and an equally vast gap in social status and upbringing to weave a cute yet sweet love in a comical spin.

Watching this show made me wonder if there is any husband in the world as sweet and compromising as "Da Shu" *sigh*

Recommended - 8/10, guaranteed to give you a warm and fuzzy feeling...











Marry a Millionaire

This series is the worst of the lot....Ultimately boring.....I struggled to get through with it......About this couple who joined a reality programme similar to the American version of "Marry a Millionaire" where the guy turned to be a bogey...poor bugger... And their love story stas that way...*sigh*....Not too romantic..not touching...stupid storyline....

Score - 3/10, Watch if you have no time....ermmm neh...dun even try watching this...









My Sassy Girl - Chun Hyang

The story begins when Lee Mong-ryong is transferred from Seoul to a high school in Namwon, North Jeolla Province. Chun-hyang does her best to help Mong-ryong, her first love and the son of the Namwon Police Station chief, to enter a prestigious university.

As in all korean dramas, there is always another guy who is smitten and undyingly in love with the female lead....Byeon Hak-do, CEO of a famous entertainment company, appears in her life. Byeon Hak-do is determined to make her love him. The unique thing about this drama is the prologue of each episode where they showed the past life? Traditional version of the story of Chun Hyang....Funny....

Recommended - 7/10, rather draggy towards the end but all in all pretty entertaining....

A Wonderful Life!

A story about a young couple who had a child as a result of a one night stand together and how they tried to oversome their personal committments and circumstances to bring up their child. I cried buckets towards the end when their child fell ill....My other half also had tears when he watched briefly with me. I thought the story is pretty different from the other series I watched.

Recommended: 7.5/10! Stirred up lots of maternal feelings....

My personal favorite! My Girl!

Ju Yoo-rin is a tour guide proficient in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Seol Gong Chan is the second generation heir of a big corporation. Because of his grandfather's illness, he's forced to ask Yoo-rin to be his long-lost cousin so that his grandfather's last wish can be fullfilled. So therefore, they both are bound in a lie that no-one in the family knows the truth. Gong Chan is in love with Kim Sae-hyun who is a famous tennis star with the nickname "Sharapova of Korea". Also starring Seo Jeong-woo (Lee Joon Ki, known for his role in the 2006 movie "The King and the Clown" ) who fell for Yoo-rin.

I seldom laughed out loud while watching comedies but I laughed till I fell off the couch while watching My Girl! It's really very cute!

The special thing about this series is that it's connected to "My Sassy Girl, Chun Hyang!" Watch it! Highly recommended! - 9/10!
