My Sassy Boys (well two of them)

Ugh, I've not had a good or productive day. I started out thinking all positive and now at 18:16 I've found I've not done anything at all. I have loads of uni work I havn't even started, which has to be handed in next Thursday...I havn't started mainly because I'm not too sure about what I'm supposed to do...the assignment briefing is VERY vague, I can't belive how crap my life is becoming. On top of everything else, I had a big argument with my dad today and I think I hurt his feelings, not to mention I refused to go on a family walk with them. On my side of the argument I was pushed when I'm already stressed, but that is never a good enough excuse to hurt someones feelings. Especially my dad, who has done so much for me. Sometimes I think he expects too much of me though. I'm not particularly interested in housework and other such things, but I still do them ALL the time when he's at work and yet when he gets home he says I havn't done anything....akkkk but anyway enough of this feeling sorry for myself, its boring and I've got it off my chest now so I feel a bit better...now onto more important things....

The actor that has caught my eye for the past few weeks happens to be Cha Tae Hyun (the My Sassy Girl Guy).
I keep watching films and then later realizing that he was the lead roll or noticing him as a cameo. Then the other day I found the Family Outing episode that he's in and it proved to be hilarious (look out for the mexican accents if you ever watch that one I alost died when Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Joong Kook started talking to that Preying Mantis >_<). I thought I should just mention him because he stars in two films I admire a great deal, One of the of course, being My Sassy Girl and the other being Babo - a film which I watched earlier this year and its amazing. If you havn't seen it, try and find it, because it will leave you breathless (hahaha I alost wrote breast-less, oops). Anyway I found that CTH has been in another film that has had major success in Korea and American Producers have also shown intrest in making a US version (hopefully they won't make a complete hash up like they did with the My Sassy Girl remake - if you want to know how to ruin a good story, watch that). This movie is called Speedy Scandal and here is the synopsis I got off hancinema -

NAM Hyun-soo was once a popular idol star among teens and worshiped liked a god. Although he’s in his mid-thirties now, he’s still a sought-after celebrity and the host of a popular radio show. But one day a very young single mom named Jung-nam sends her stories to the radio show that Hyun-soo hosts. Her stories about her longing to meet her father whom she’s never seen before grips the nation and catapults the ratings to make it the most popular program. But to his surprise, Hyun-soo later confronts none other than Jung-nam, and her 7 year-old boy, Gi-dong. Jung-nam and Gi-dong invade Hyun-soo’s home and his radio station, claiming that Hyun-soo is her father. Hyun-soo does what he can to salvage his celebrity image.

Sounds interesting ne? I can't wait until I can watch it, then I'll tell you how good I think it is :)

Other films starring Cha Tae Hyun that I enjoyed are My Girl and I and Highway Star, the former being a drama and the latter being a comedy.

Oh, it was Lee Jun Ki's 27th birthday yesterday and he's doing his second fan meet tonight...in fact, it's probably finished now, because it's tomorrow in Korea ^_^. Anyhoo I wish him all the best for his 27th year and hope that he continues to have a prosporous life (and continues to be as gorgeous as ever). I love you LJK, just for being so completely awesome!!!!


I'm all excited because I can finish watching Iljimae soon (it starts the beautiful human being in the above picture), but I'm afraid uni work comes first...after all I can get my degree then get a good job, then get some money and then go to Korea and have some fun....FIGHTING!!!!

G-Dragon

I was thinking about content for future blogs when there is not much exciting happening (like always). I've decided I'm going to write a little something about each of the artists (actors, actresses, mc's, musical artists) that I have a special attachment to. I'll just write stuff like when I first saw them and why I like them and why they are particularly special to me.

Today I'm going to write about a musical artist who is one of those multi-talented people who you would envy a great deal if you didn't already love them to death....

This person is....*drumroll*....G-Dragon!!!!

Whose real name is Kwon Ji Yong (but all you fangirls out there knew that already right?).


I honestly don't think there is a reason not to like this person. Here are a few reasons why everyone loves him.

1. He is the leader of the sensational group Big Bang and boy, is he a good leader

2. Even though he is the leader he's not too serious and knows how to have a good time.

3. He is renowned for being able to wear just about anything and make it look good. (I know from what I've seen if anyone but him had worn some of those outfits they would have been taken to prison...ma, he makes them look good...even if they are not)
Yes, he is dressed as a woman here, it was for a very hilarious skit he did with fellow band member TOP *Excuse to post a Tabi Pic ^_^*

This is TOP (He's a handsome boy huh...and a freaking good rapper!!!!! jfhdjkhfsdfhg)
Back to GD ^_^

(Not one of his very outrageous outfits, but he looks cute, ne?)

GD in cheeky eyeliner mode.....he just reeks of cheeky doesn't he...*fond*

Not sure what he's wearing here, obviously he's pretty happy though....what a smile :)

4. He can rap and sing and write his own music and he writes songs for fellow band members (namely seungri and Daesung, the dongsengs...*picture excuse!!!!!*)

Dae Dae and Seungri ^^^^^ (Maknae looks somewhat upset that his Hyung is trying to kill him ^_^)


5. Most of the time he has a cheeky smile on his face and thats why we all love him :)

Now, for special reasons why I love him :)

1. He is one of the cutest people I have ever seen eg....

He has the AWWW factor right?

2. As well as being cute he's also prone to being very hot when he wishes ;) --- and I'm not complaining.


We all know Bong looks good in a suit *Gazes in admiration*

Kwon Leader with the fake tats lol, he doesn't need those anymore.

3. I love his adorable hyung/dongseng relationship with Seungri...GO G-RI

Haha my excuse to put LUSH screenshot from Strong Baby up ^_^

Yep G loves his maknae a lot....and we love that they are so lubing :)

4. He has that leader aura when you see him on interviews, which I think is awesome

He looks sad here.....

5. He sometimes tries to be cold, but all GD fans know its an act and that he's actually a fun, caring and very cute guy.....and talented to boot.

Ji Yong mid-yawn, cuuuuuttteee

Bong kissing up to the camera, literally

6. He has Amaaaaaazing hair (but I'm not going to go into this because GD's hair needs a whole blog post for itself ^_^)

7. And to finish with this blog, the reason why I love G Dragon Most of all is because he is an invaluable part of the best most fantastic wonderful brilliant music group in the world......

BIG BANG!!!!


Love From Min :P

Friday 3 April 2009

First of all I havn't updated for so long so I have MUCH to put forth in this post. Second of all, most of the content of this post with be complete spazzing over Big Bang because in these past few weeks they have been busy making cfs and digital singles and numerous other things so I have been in fangirl heaven.
So I will begin: BIG BANG

The female version of Big Bang are called 21 or 2NE1 (TO ANYONE, geddit?). When I heard a female group was going to be formed I was quite unsure of if I would like them or not. Fortunately for me (and them) I absolutely adore the song 'Lollipop' they did together with Big Bang (actually I'm currently listening to it). They look like pretty cool girls and look good working together with the boys. I don't know all of their names yet so I wont try to remember, but I'm looking forward to what they are going to bring in the future :)

Here's the MV for Lollipop:




Big Bang Highlights of the mv for me: TOP singing the chorus and his glasses, the way G-Dragon says 'rainbow' ^_^, Seungris cape it's sooooo cute, Bae dancing with all the girls even though he's quite shy really and his 'F-R-E-S-H', Dae Dae's break with Seungri was awesome, I love it when the dongsengs sing together (like in Number 1)...oh and when Dae goes O-o-ohh yeah, it gets me everytime, there is also a G-Ri moment at the end if you look carefully, at about 3:05 I think....heck the whole mv is a highlight and is it just me who has been doing the Lollipop dance all day?...and I'm spazzing again (tries to calm down but fails).

Here's the two Big Bang CF's that have come out recently, the first one is for the Lollipop phone and the one they wrote the song for and the second one is for Hite Beer and Seugri isn't in it because at the time of filming he was promoting Strong Baby and also he's underage or something like that, enjoy---



It's similair to the MV, doesn't that phone look cool, if only they sold it in England *sigh*
