East of Eden

Finally!!!
East of Eden- a fost chiar interesant daca nu se termina cu moartea personajului principal(it's so unfair!!!) ceea ce m-a indispus foarte mult..
Daca totusi las asta la o parte- ultimele 10 serii au fost si cele mai captivante- personajul principal Lee Dong Chul atat de tare isi iubea fratele mai mic(dongsaeng- care defapt nici nu e fratele sau adevarat, in ep 48 ma uitam si nu-mi venea sa cred ca putea sa-i faca asa ceva persoanei care l-a crescut si si-a sacrificat viata pentru el si pe care el il credea odata ca fiind tatal sau- ) incat, chiar daca acesta l-a tradat(dar chiar l-a tradat!!!- in cel mai josnic mod posibil) el il ierta...tot timpul.Defapt tot din cauza lui a si murit..
Ep.47:Lee Dong Chul & his uncle:
"- Dong chul, I need to ask you something, answer me truthfully. The reason for not seeing Young Ran, is it because of her pregnancy?
- No(Anio). That is not a problem, because I love everything about Young Ran. Including Young Ran's child, Young Ran's laughter and the way she talks, and also all the tears she shed in the past. I love everything about her.
- Then why did you break up with her? There must be a reason, right?
- Yes. There's only one reason. I can't let Young Ran, for my sake, she mustn't feel any regret towards the baby, right? Between the baby and her, I mustn't become their obstacle."

Grace defapt nu era insarcinata de la Mike, ea l-a mintit pe Dong Chul ca acesta sa poata trai o viata demna... Cei doi isi rezolva problemele si se casatoresc, petrec Doar o noapte impreuna, dupa acre sunt iar despartiti....pe veci.....:((..ok...insa ea ramane insarcinata si deci, Dong Chul continua sa traiasca in copilul lor..













ep 51- starting the relationship again:


the wedding:


their happy moments together:




the last episode- preview:

Ei asta a fost East of Eden- am mai spus o data ..nota ...9-10!!!
Ultimul episod a fost rulat pe 10 martie 2009:*:*

East of Eden

Aseara am stat pana la 5 dimineatza si m-am uitat la East of Eden , si tot nu am terminat, mai am 10 serii..Mda....atatea emotzii am avut toata noaptea, am si plans....;)...Nu mai am spatiu pe calculator, si tot nu ma-ndur sa sterg unele serii pe care le-am vazut, si asta mai mult din cauza la cei doi : Lee Dong Chul&Gook Young Ran /Grace...
Sa-ncepem cu-nceputul:
..A fost o data ca niciodata 2 familii: una bogata- Shin si cealalta saraca - Lee..
Lee- lucra la o mina pentru Shin, era foarte recunoscut de ceilalti colegi- ca lider- care era si revoltator impotriva conducerii- adik Shin, si acesta din urma pentru ca sa "scape" de el a organizat un "accident", care i-a adus moartea lui Lee..Si era cum era, daca nu se intamplau toate astea in fata micului Lee(Dong Chol-5 ani)...De atunci- micul Lee si-a promis ca o sa traiasca pentru razbunare, cauza ce i-o transmite si fratiorului lui mai mic- Dong Wook- care are si asta o istorie in spatele sau- Dong Wook s-a nascut in aceeasi zi cu baietelul lui Shin- Myung Hun, care pana in seria a 37(undeva pe aici) nu stiau ca ei de fapt au fost schimbati la nastere de catre o asistenta ce vroia sa se razbune si ea pe Shin....adik fratele lui Dong Chul, care creste cu ura in sufletul sau pentru familia Shin defapt este fiul si mostenitorul acestuia- iar fiul ce s-a zbatut o viata intreaga sa gaseasca in el rautatea tatalui sau - l-a numit tata pe ucigasul tatalui sau--- ce soarta dura!!!!!(astia doi din urma si sunt cei doi ce se lupta de la inceput pentru dragostea lui kim ji Hyun(Han Ji Hye) despre care am amintit ieri).
M-am abatut un pic de la personajele principale(-pentru mine, deoarece filmul este depre razunare, deci povestile de dragoste sunt pe plan mai secundar) care se cunosc in Macao unde se si indragostesc...(Aici Dong Chul a ajuns nelegitim din cauza lui Shin)..El - sarac.Ea- mostenitoare a unei averi(iii), care are si un pretendent la inima sa- Mike.El o salveaza pe Ea si astfel ajunge sa lucreze pentru tatal Ei care il aduce inapoi in Coreea, dar....toate bune daca nu trebuiau sa se desparta- pentru ca o printesa si un slujitor nu pot fi impreuna...Urmeaza mai multe scene in care cei doi vor sa fie impreuna- impotriva tuturor,insa, Ea totusi este impusa sa se casatoreasca cu Mike...Mike moare peste un timp(avea si el probleme cu familia lui).Ea ramane insarcinata..(bineinteles- trebuia sa mai apara un obstacol in calea celor doi!!!!)...Ea reuseste sa-l faca independent pe El- cumva il santajeaza pe tatal sau sa il lase pe Dong Chul sa plece..
Raman prieteni....
Aici am ajuns eu---sper ca pana diseara sa termin seriile- si sper sa fie un happy-end pentru acestia...(love love love them!!!);)

Han Ji Jye

Imi place mult de ea, desi in primul film in care am vazut-o juca un rol (cam) negativ, insa asta nu m-a oprit deloc s-o plac(Summer Scent) - si intamplator urmatoarea dorama pe care am vizionat-o a fost Sweet 18 in care joaca rolul principal. Aici ea a fost superba!!!(Filmul e chiar interesant!!) - joaca rolul unei eleve care se indragosteste de cineva fara sa-i vada fatza.Insa, este cumva impusa sa se casatoreasca cu un avocat(judecator- ceva de genu, nu mai tin minte exact), care intamplator si este acea persoana de care ea se indragostise.. El, fiind mult mai matur, nu este de acord cu aceasta casatorie- impusa de parinti- insa ea face tot posibilul... si cei doi se casatoresc-aici filmul continua cu scene interesante si comice dintre cei doi cand incearca sa se apropie unul de celalalt pana incep sa traiasca ca un adevarat cuplu .
Recent am vazut un film(nu drama) cu ea in rolul principal- Humming, in care ea ii arata prietenului ei , cu care este deja de vre-o 7 ani si care este plictisit de relatia asta, ce inseamna dragostea. Filmul nu are happy-end(din pacate) -aceasta cade intr-un accident si ajuge in coma si, desi ii apare Lui ca fiind vie, si aici el intelege cat de mult o iubeste, ea moare dupa o perioada de timp....
In East of Eden joaca un rol mai principal(unul dintre...) unde personajul ei de mica e prinsa intre alte 2 personaje principale- 2 cunoscuti legati intre ei de un secret de la nasterea lor- care , desi este indragostita de unul dintre ei, ajunge sa fie sotia celuilalt(pentru ca ramane insarcinata de la el in urma unui viol)...
Aici subiectul ramane deschis pentru ca nu stiu cu ce se termina .... Interesant, oare ramane alaturi de sot, sau totusi inima invinge???

East of Eden

Mi-au mai ramas putin de 20 de serii (din 56) ... si pot spune de pe acum ca a meritat filmul ... Nota? Cred ca pot sa pun 9-10(din 10)..imi plac actorii, bine, persista ceea ce cam enerveaza in filmele coreene si anume ca personajii se iubesc super tare si totusi daca(dar daca) se saruta o data in tot filmul,ce sa mai vorbim de un umar dezgolit...;), insa sunt gata sa moara unul dupa celalalt..Mi-e interesant unde o sa ajunga Lee Dong Chul&Gook Young Ran /Grace(love them!!!!), insa sper sa fie un happy-end pt ei!!!
