We Got Married 2

Am urmarit primul sezon al show-ului "We Got Married" si m-a apropiat si mai mult de KEntartainment si am aflat mai multe despre cultura si felul lor de a fi...si mai ales cum se comporta ei in viata reala.. Ok...chiar daca se aflau in fata camerei, nu jucau exact un rol oarecare...
Alex(Pasta), Kim Hyun Joong(Boys Over Flowers), Kangin(Superjunior, Romance Zero), Son Dam Bi(Dream), Marco, Hwangbo sunt cateva staruri care au jucat timp de cateva luni persoane casatorite... adica... aici s-au format cupluri de staruri care "s-au casatorit"...
Pentru primul sezon au iesit subtitrari...insa....pentru al doilea...nu sunt... De aceea, nu eram prea interesata de show.
Am inceput sa-l urmaresc odata cu aparitia cuplului Jung Yong Hwa(liderul trupei C.N.Blue, You're beautiful) & Seohyun(mezina trupei SNSD)..
dupa care am inceput sa urmaresc si cuplul Jokwon (liderul trupei 2AM) & Gain (mezina trupei Brown Eyed Girls), de care, sunt mult mai atrasa...Jokwon (joaca super bine!) recent este peste tot, el face parte deasemenea din staff-ul a mai multor emisiuni(Family Outing, Invincible Youth, ...) si aduce ceva nou lumei KPop...plus...canta foarte bine! si chiar este amuzant.
Iar ca cuplu, cei doi chiar te fac sa razi :D, el , desi este mai mic, este indraznet(foarte bine pentru noi! :P)...

Hyun Joong&Ryu Won("As a Man")

Ma gandeam la comentariile facute mai devreme despre videoclipul "As a man" a lui Gummy si despre perechea ideala din acest videoclip: Kim Hyun Joong & Jung Ryu Won si, revazand MV-ul, mi se pare ca eu nu as fi ales alt cuplu mai frumos decat acesta.
Hyun Joong isi schimba aici imaginea lui de " flower boy" in aceea a unui barbat (chiar si la fizic ma refer, idealul oricarei femei). Adica, stiindu-i adevaratul caracter, si felul cum gandeste, si cat de interesant isi expune parerile(asemanator la caracter cu TOP).... Recent, s-a facut pe net un sondaj despre "pe cine ati dori sa-l aveti ca coleg de apartament/camera" si cateva mii de persoane ar dori sa-l aiba anume pe el ca "roommate"(asta de cand cu serialul Personal Preference) punandu-l ca #1. Comentariile au fost ceva de genul(si cu care sunt absolut de acord) "avand un umor interesant(si asa si este), va 'lumina' camera", "daca ii voi cere un sfat, imi va da cel mai bun raspuns".... eu as mai adauga ca nu vei sti niciodata cu ce te vei ocupa maine... Se cunoaste insa ca ii place foarte mult "manga", somnul si adora fantasticul, ceea ce il cam face baietzel..., dar,..... vreau sa spun ca creste!! Ultima stire este ca i-a fost oferit un rol in "Athena: Goddess of War" o "prelungire" sau mai bine spus dintr-o familie cu IRIS , care a cerut o astfel de prelungire pentru raitng-ul pe care l-a avut..... Nu stiu daca l-as vedea intr-ul rol de spion pe Hyun Joong, dar, la ambitia pe care o are, cu siguranta va infrumuseta serialul :P.
Iar Ryu Won este la fel de finutza&dragutza ca intotdeauna.(Este una dintre preferatele mele :D)
Se potrivesc perfect...

Gummy

Gummy is a singer ... also one of the "eldest" family member from YGEntertainment (Big Bang, Se7en, 2NE1), so... she is a very good project.
I've liked her voice from the song "I'm Sorry" in which she collaborated with TOP (in 2008)

and made a MV with him&Sandara Park(2NE1) as the main characters of the love story in the video...


 

And now, she came back with new look and a new album Loveless.

She did recently a top on a TV post of her "siblings" from the same family and i really liked it :D:

1. Se7en
2. TOP
3. G-Dragon
4.Taeyang......


"I'm Sorry:"

 DOWNLOAD...

She did 2 new MV for her comeback which i think are very good, the music and the MV.
"There is no love":

....and the second, she garnered the "flower-boy" Kim Hyun Joong(Boys Over Flowers also the SS501's leader) with the beautiful actress&fashionista Jung Ryu Won (What star did you came from, Two faces of my girlfriend) in this love story-MV:

Early Life
Kim Hyun Joong (김현중) was born on June 6 1986 in Seoul, South Korea. He has one older brother. As a young boy, he worked extremely hard and did various jobs such as delivering newspapers, pizzas and chickens as well as serving food in restaurants. He dropped out of Hanyang Industrial High School to pursue a career in music after hearing the song "Ultramania" from the US rock band, Seo Taiji. This was the start of his rebellion. He ran away from home to pursue his career but often faced difficulties soon afterwards as he had no money, food or shelter. A couple of months later, he returned home to concentrate on his studies but never lost sight of his dream.


Career
In June 2005, Kim Hyun Joong debuted as the leader of the band, SS501 with their first single "Warning". Following their successful debut, they released their second song "Snow Prince" later on in the year. They were inactive in the next couple of years in Korea due to one of the member's throat condition but became active again following their success of their comeback single "Deja Vu". The band also tapped into the Japanese market under the name of "Triple S Japan" in 2007. They officially debuted on March 25, 2007, when SS501 will had first official meeting with the group. In Korea, their fan club members number around 41,700.

In May 2008, Kim Hyun Joong joined the MBC reality programme, "We got Married" which is a variety shows that pairs up Korean celebrities to indicate what life would be like if they were really married. Hyun Joong's wife, Hwang Bo was six years his senior and they achieved high popularity acting as a newly wed couple. They were known as the "Lettuce couple" and went to win MBC'S Best Couple Award in 2008. The couple made their official exit from We Got Married on December 14, 2008 due to scheduling conflicts presented by Boys Over Flowers.

In October 2008, Hyun Joong was cast in the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango as one of the famous members of F4. His portrayal of the calm and soft spoken F4 member, Yoon Ji-Hoo in Boys Before Flowers won him many fans across the world.

Kim Hyun Joong's interview

Here you go, the last installment of the F4 relay interview - 23 year old Kim Hyun-joong, who plays the role of Ji-hoo sunbae in the drama Boys Over flowers.

Kim confessed that he is not as gentle or tender as his character Ji Hoo. What he looks for in a girlfriend? "I wish my girlfriend was someone just like a friend, whom I would feel comfortable with."

Hyun-joong is also the leader of the group SS501.





IS: Who do you want to meet most in the world?

Of course Seo Taiji. When i was a child, I listened to a variety of foreign music and I liked the rock genre. The top song when I was in school was Seo Taiji and Boys' "Nan-arayo" ( 난 알아요). Then when I heard "Ultramania", I decided to become a singer. I have a lot of respect for Seo Taiji.

IS: Do you have any talent you've been polishing since the school days?

I played bass guitar in a band when I was in high school. I can play it quite well. I enjoy expressing it by playing guitar when I get a musical idea. I would spend whole day to search for rare guitars when I was visiting Japan. I love the guitar.

IS: Do you have any places you want to travel to? Who with?

I have friends whom I've been growing up with in the same town. I've spent most of my life with them. I fear nothing when I'm with them. I want to travel to space with them and challenge the limit of our lives. Does that sound like nonsense? (Err...it kinda does)

IS: Who is number one on your mobile phone speed dial?

I have a bad memory and my mobile phone directory stores my important numbers but I don't use the speed dial.

IS: What do you always carry in your bag?

An extra pair of contact lens, eye drops and a shaver. Also an extra pair of underwear and socks just in case we end up shooting all night.

IS: Which actress would you like to work with?

Lee Hyo-ri (noona). Before I made a debut as a singer, she was my dream girl. Hyori is my senior and gave me lots of valuable advice. She is such an inspiration to me.

IS: What is your motto in life?

You only have one chance in life, live hard and earn fame. Help the poor and be respected.

IS: What's the difference before and after F4?

The age range of people who recognise me became various. The character Ji Hoo seemed to give me a chance to produce another Kim Hyun Joong.

IS: Have you ever posted any opinion under Internet news articles (about youself)?

I try not to read bad posts (about me). I would read what people write about me on my fan page and write my opinions as well. Sometimes I reveal myself and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I write really harsh reports on myself to push myself. I visit Daum the most.

IS: Do you have a bad habit or jinx?

No jinx. Habit perhaps? When I am stressed, I like to go on fishing trips or listen to music.

IS: What if your parents were against your marriage -- like in the character Gu Jun-pyo?

I will try to persuade my parents, that I am responsible enough to make the decision.

Where and with whom do you like to drink with?

I drink a lot. Soju. Anywhere (the place is not important). I drink with my band mates and friends. A simple stall by the street is good enough. I like my soju with pork and kimchi.

IS: What was the biggest crisis in your life to date?

It was when I was in the MBC TV show We've Got Married. We went to film at Halla Mountain (Halla San) at Jeju Island. We took 5 hours to climb up the mountain and 2 hours to get down. I didn't go easy but went on briskly. I ran down for 2 hours without a break. Finally, when we reached the bottom and it was time for an interview at the hotel, I had no energy left and fainted.

IS: What would you do if you won ₩ 10,000,000,000 in the lottery?

₩ 5,000,000,000 to parents. ₩ 1,000,000,000 to my boss Lee Ho-yeon of DSP Entertainment. 20% to needy neighbours, 20% to share with friends.

IS: Do you have any skin care secrets?

My dermatologist takes care of my skin very well. That's my honest answer. Ha ha. I will always try to clean my skin properly.

IS: What is your sleeping habit?

I sleep in only my underwear. I can't endure wearing anything more because I am afraid of the heat. I like the feeling of the blanket next to my skin and only wear my underwear to bed.

IS: When did you last date and how old were you?

We split up just before I made my debut (in SS501). Ha Ha.

IS: What would you call your girlfriend if you have one?

I would just call her name. I'm not as gentle or tender as Ji Hoo. I wish my girlfriend was someone just like a friend, who I would feel comfortable with.

IS: What do you want to receive from your girlfriend?

Actually, I would be more comfortable giving than receiving. Even if I have something I want, I won't tell her and I would just buy it myself. I would give anything from me to the most precious one.

IS: What do you envy of your F4 members?

Min-ho's height, Bum's maturity and Joon's personality?

IS: What is the best fortune of your life so far?

The fact that I have friends who I've been with since primary school, and that I'm a member of SS501.

IS: If you have a completely free day, what would you do?

I just want to sleep all day.

IS: Who manages your income?

Since I was a child and started off with part-time jobs, I have been managing my own income. My parents trust me.

Si parerea mea: Nota 9- 9,5

Boys Over Flowers

Povestea incepe cand O fata saraca Geum Jan Di ajunge din intamplare intr-o scoala privata (pentru cei mai bogati ..) si , iarasi din intamplare, ajunge sa invete acolo si in plus chiar din primele zile intra in conflict, bineinteles, cu F4- patru baieti ( frumosi si bogati) care detineau controlul in acea scoala..Din gluma El, personajul principal si liderul lui F4, Goo Joon Pyo ajunge sa se indragosteasca de Ea. Aici apare si un al treilea personaj, care ii este Ei doar prieten, Yoon Ji Hoo(tot din F4)- Ea fiind chiar atrasa de la inceput de el, dar care pana la urma se indragoste nebuneste de Jan Di.. (insa,,, asta e- El invata sa sufere din dragoste- pentru a 2-a oara - not pathetic at all;))). Aici, in paralel se dezvolta si o alta poveste de dragoste, dintre al treilea membru F4 si prietena Ei cea mai buna, la fel saraca.Bineinteles ca apar problemele de natura sociala(paturile sociale),iar "dusmanul" cel mai rau fiind mama lui-"witch";) , nu mai vorbim de o fata la fel de bogata ca si El care trebuia sa-i devina sotie ,insa domnisoara e atat de indragostita de El si in plus devine o prietena de-a Ei incat decide sa-i ajute, si astfel pana la finele ultimei serii 16 se rezolva toate problemele cu un happy end.
Nu am mentionat de cel de-al patrulea membru F4 deoarece el apare ca un personaj ajutator aici- ii ajuta pe ceilalti..
Nu lipsesc si scenele comice coreene cunoscute, chiar bune!!
Dorama a fost televizata pana in martie, la 31.03 fiind ultima serie...

Boys Over Flowers

Boys Over Flowers...
In ultimele saptamani circula stirea cum ca aceasta drama a suferit un fiasco....de-a dreptul neasteptat pentru cei din echipa de filmare care au asteptat mult mai muld de la acest film mai ales k este pentru publicul tanar si pentru ca e despre povestea 'cenusaresei'.... sau poate chiar si din cauza asta pentru k lumea e mult prea obosita de motivul 'cenusaresei', care e mult prea ireal pentru viata reala..
Nota?7-8 si un 9 pentru baietii din F4:Lee Min Ho(the bad prince- but softhearted), Kim Bum(sweet prince), Kim Hyun Joong(just handsome prince ;) ) and Kim Joon
