Time Between Dog and Wolf and My Weekend Distractions

I've started watching a new drama called Time Between Dog and Wolf. It first came out in 2007 and stars Lee Jun Ki (suprise suprise), Jung Kyung Ho and Nam Sang Mi. It is shockingly good and I think I'm going to buy it when my next batch of money comes in from student finance. I know I'm really supposed to buy educational materials with student finance, but I'm learning Korean, so watching dramas will help me.
SO anyway Time Between Dog and Wolf is sort of a mystery/gangster/romance and it's awesome. The story revolves around the three characters and their relationships with each other and the past that haunts them. There is of course a love triangle, but no Kdrama would be quite the same without one and so I accept it gladly. I won't go into detail because the story is complicated and I don't want to ruin it with my basic writing skills. Just take my word for it...this drama is flipping amazing!!! And now I will use this time to put up some pictures of the beautiful cast :) Lee Jun Ki plays a complex (very pretty) character called Lee Soo Hyun:

Jung Kyung Ho plays the (adorable) step brother, Kang Min Ki who gets pulled into the twisted storyline: Nam Sang Mi plays the girl, Soo Ji Woo whos fate is entangled with the two male characters (but mostly Soo Hyun :P)

Another Pic of them all for good measure :)


Over last weekend I also watched some crazy good movies and here are their names:

My Girl and I - Sad movie, but very touching and has an uplifting ending. A story for those people who like romance and like to cry.

Babo - Oh my, this movie was just something else altogether and I broke down crying at the end, it is SO sad, but SO good. There isn't hardly any romance if any, but the story is good enough without it...arrgghh I loved it.

The King and the Clown - I don't really know how I feel about this film. The acting is superb, but the storyline was a bit too deep for my taste and the way the king drools over Lee Jun ki kind of freaked me out....Jun Ki is SOOO pretty in it though, I couldn't believe it. For those hardcore folks.

Shindo - A really cute movie about a music student's friendship with a gifted young girl. It made me want to play the piano after I'd finished watching it. Stars Matsuyama Kenichi of Deathnote (in which he plays L and is extremely awesome) and Narumi Riko an extremely talented young actress.

Nana - This movie was ok, not really my cup of tea, but entertaining enough. It relied on stereotypes too much I think. The two main actresses had really good chemistry though and I loved the way the two characters were totally opposite, but understood each other so well.

I just found out that the main actor from My Girl and I is also plays the lead character in Babo. Not only that, he is actually Mr-Sassy Girl himself, Cha Tae-hyun. What a great actor, I watched two films with him on the same day and didn't recognize it was the same person. I'm definately going to watch more of his movies.

Anyway I'm going to return to Time Between Dog and Wolf so please excuse me,

:P
