A GENTLEMAN’S DIGNITY



For me, this k-drama delivered a portrait of men’s personality successfully: naughtiness, strength, passion, dream, maturity, way of thinking, romanticism, and stupidity as well.  It exposed life of four men in their forties, who had been friends since high school. 




1. Colin: a teenager who comes to Korea looking for the four men and claims one of them is his biological father.
2. Park Min-sook: Jung-rok's extremely wealthy wife.
3. Lee Jung-rok: married to a rich woman, Park Min-sook, but constantly flirts with other women which causes problems and trust issues in their marriage.
4. Seo Yi-soo: a high school ethics teacher and also umpires amateur baseball games in her free time. Yi-soo has had a secret crush on Tae-san for three years.
5. Kim Do-jin: a confident playboy who meets Seo Yi-soo and falls for her. To his surprise, she doesn't give him the time of day and he discovers that she has a crush on his best friend Im Tae-san. He begins a one-sided love for the first time in his life and tries to win her heart.
6. Hong Se-ra: a pro golfer, she is Tae-san's girlfriend and Yi-soo's roommate.
7. Im Tae-san: dating Yi-soo's roommate, Hong Se-ra, but troubles arise when Yi-soo's crush is revealed and when Se-ra tells him she doesn't want to get married.
8. Choi Yoon: a lawyer who is still recovering from his wife's death four years ago but begins to have feelings for Tae-sans much younger sister, Im Meahri. Meahri has always had a crush on Yoon however he refuses to give into his feelings and jeopardize his friendship with Tae-san.
9. Im Meahri: Tae-san's younger sister and Yi-soo's past student. Meahri came back to Korea after studying in America and has an interest in bag design. She has had a crush on Yoon for a long time.

The story was quite complicated but made me always curious to watch the next and next episode. It brought not only laugh but also tears. It’s very fun watching it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Foot Note: 1) This is a come-back-movie for Jang Dong Gun after 12 years and he is still charming. 2) Lee Jong Hyun, who played as Colin, is my idol guitarist from CNBlue. 3) Firstly, I want to watch it since Kim Soo Ro played in it. 4) Yong Hwa CNBlue also appeared in one scene.

Taare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par ~ “Like Stars on Earth” (released 21 December 2007) is another movie from Aamir Khan that I adore after Three Idiots and Ghajini . It is really really really a touching and beautiful movie. It tells about an eight-year-old-boy, named Ishaan, who is dyslexic but blessed with excellent painting talent. Taare Zameen Par received numerous awards, including the Filmfare Best Film Award for 2008 and the 2008 National Film Award for Best Film on Family Welfare . It was India's official entry for the 2009 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film but it failed to progress to the nominations short list.

Journey to the East

It was our plan to do touring to Magelang – Yogyakarta by riding motorcycle. Actually, it will be Putri (my best pal) who will rides and I will just be on the back seat ^^ Somehow, plan was changed. And it’s me who force her to “take vacation to Borobudur”, even not riding a motorcycle. I know that riding must be very tiring for her. My first motivation is to take chance before we are married. I mean, go on enjoy your being single girl! And the 2 nd one is having material to write on my blog ^^ So here was our journey. We took a bus on Saturday, January 26 morning to Magelang! Besides taking Putri as my best pal will make the journey great, she also knows about Magelang since she spent her kindergarten time there. We are on the shaking bus 06.07             We caught “Mulyo” bus (it’s a big bus heading to Yogyakarta). We planned to go to Purworejo bus station then change to smaller bus heading to Mage...

Cinta Tak Mungkin Berhenti

This is a mellow-song performed by one of Indonesian great group vocals artist “TANGGA”, means “stair”. They are Tahir Hadiwijoyo alias Tata , Mohammed Kamga ( Kamga ), Nerra Merlin ( Nerra ), dan Chevrina Anayang ( Chevrina )Three have strong vocals characteristics and Tata inserts rap lyric that make each of their songs sound colorful and give identity . Looking at the lyric, it is dreadful sad and meaningful; so deep and slice your heart. And I really love it on its chorus, both the lyric and melody. It’s about how you thankful of loving and being loved. This song is not to discourage. For me, it is to encourage instead ^^ Tak ada kisah tentang cinta yang bisa terhindar dari air mata ~ No story of love that can avoid tears namun ku coba menerima, hatiku membuka siap untuk terluka ~ But I try to accept it, I open my heart to be ready to be hurt Chorus: Cinta tak mungkin berhenti secepat saat aku jatuh hati ~ Love is impossible to stop as fast as I was f...
