Tonight I watched a movie called Fly Daddy Fly. I didn't watch it for any particular reason, except for the fact that in stars Lee Jun Ki who happens to be my actor of the moment. I mean come on people, his teeth are so perfect and white (for those who dont know, I have a strange teeth fetish). When it comes to teeth (and looking completely perfect) it's safe to say that Jun Ki ticks all the boxes. Anyway, it was because of my fangirl-ish and I think, understandable, attraction to Lee Jun Ki that I came across this film and I'm glad to say I actually enjoyed it.
Basicly the story is about a father who's daughter is beaten up by a very horrible highschool boy who happens to be an upcoming boxer. In order to get his daughters honour back he teams up with a quite introverted young man who trains him up so he can beat the heck out of the young hoodlum who attacked her.
At first I was sceptical about the movie because it started off pretty tame and had not much soundrack music (an annoying thing I've noticed in quite a few Korean movies). Even so, being a patient person I kept watching and the story began to get quite entertaining (funnily enough it was when Jun Ki started becoming a regular in scenes, figures doesn't it?). The highlights of this movie are the scenes where the dad is training up and the actual boxing match at the ending. There is also a very cheesy, but nevertheless completely sweet moment where JunKi's character calls the main character 'Daddy'....twice!!!
Now that's a dazzling smile.....
Now I'm listening to young K-pop group SHINee. They are suprisingly addictive, especially since they are dongsengs. This shows you should never underestimate younger generations. I think as you get older you tend to think that your juniors are less talented and more brainless that yourself (usually it's completely the oppostite though...in my case anyway).
SHINee definately have a DBSK aura about them, but their talent stands out in the catchy songs, which include tiles such as Amigo, The SHINee World, Love Like Oxygen and Noona is So Pretty (replay, replay, reeeplay anyone?). I've not really gotten into their slower songs, but that might be just because of my taste. Anyway overall, this Noona is pretty impressed (not that pretty though :P).
I added a new film to my 'I have watched this Korean movie' list today. The film is called Attack on the Pin Up Boys and stars the entirety of Super Junior, bar one I think (for those who don't know, SJ are a K Pop group with numerous members).
Anyhoo the film is possibly the wierdest most hilarious thing I have seen all day (maybe with the exception of my reflection in the mirror this morning, gross stuff). A quick summary of the storyline would be:
In a time when highschool students are bored witless a strange and exciting distraction appears...all the popular, handsome, talented, and smart young men are getting poo missiles chucked at them by an anonymous attacker. Who will be struck next? Who is the attacker? And, is it true that once hit, a person becomes more famous than ever could be imagined?
Sounds strange eh? It's actually a pretty old movie (well, 2007) but I did not discover my hallyu obsession until 2008 so thats why I only watched it today and not 2007.
To be honest, it's not a deep, meaningful, touching or emotional film, but it made me laugh...films with poo missiles tend to make me laugh. I guess its an asset in that it may help with remembering the SJ members names as well >_<
I have a private blog and then I thought...what the hell, aren't blogs supposed to be public. To be honest though, I bet my private one is a hecka lot more interesting than this one will be. Lets see how it goes anyway.
Things this blog will disclose to the world:
My interest in all things Hallyu (Korean pop culture)
The events that occur during my life as a student
Random other stuff I pick up
My obsession with Asian dramas and all the other things that concur
And probably other stuff I can't be bothered mentioning at the moment....
I'm off now anyway... here is a free hug for you *hug*
Now that's a dazzling smile.....
