Kdramas... from the Stars. Answer Me.

I’ve watched enough kdramas this 2014 and now I knew these are my favorites and well, the must-see from late last year to the first quarter of this year. Among those kdramas, here's my top 4.

4.) The Heirs.

Cast: Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, Kim Woobin, Kang Minhyuk, Krystal

A trendy drama set in a high school with the privileged and uber-rich students. This follows the lives of the lead characters about love and the struggle between their status in life and the usual chaebol stories.

Given the cast, the drama hits Korean tv with high ratings. Lee MinHo and Park Shin Hye in one drama plus Kim Woobin and CNBLUE Minhyuk, I could really consider this series. However, I think the storyline is just simple and still cannot surpass my love for Boys Over Flowers especially when this drama was almost compared to my F4 story. I think this drama was a bit overrated and Kim Woobin’s role is a bit disappointing. He can act so he deserves a better role.

3.) Answer Me 1994 / Reply 1994.

Cast: Go Ara, Jung Woo, Yoo Yeon-Seok, Son Ho-Jun, Kim Sun-Kyun, Baro, Min Do Hee

This is really one of my favorite series. ♥♥♥

This kdrama has the same intentions as Reply 1997. The storyline follows the pop culture events of the year and shared to us the spotlights of Kpop group Seo Taiji and the boys and the Korean Basketball League. Watch how the guys of Reply 1994 make you truly adore and love them. Oh, and I’m a super duper Chilbong fan here. *cries* Very nostalgic and touching, i love how everyone's lives enfold and I truly learned a lot about Korea in the '90's. The playlist for this drama's OST is a plus, and I actually just finished this series before starting this blog.

2.) Master’s Sun.

Cast: Gong Hyo Jin, So Ji Sub, Seo In Guk

Another masterpiece written by the Hong sisters. Gong Hyojin can see ghosts and So Jisub is a president of Kingdom group. This interesting story tells how they meet and become enemies slash friends slash more than friends, it's a rom-com-horror series you never want to miss. Seo Inguk (Reply 1997 cutie) is part of the cast too, so that is one good reason to watch it. 

1.) You Who Came from the Stars.

Cast: Kim Soo hyun, Jeon Ji Hyun

Oh! This! Is! Awesome! This series made me spazz. I’ve always loved Jeon Ji Hyun (Windstruck, Sassy girl) and now she’s back after many years. Then you add Kim Soo Hyun in the cast and everything else is perfect! ♥♥♥

Imagine Kim Soo Hyun as the alien guy with almost perfect abilities living for hundreds of years. Then meeting Jeon Ji Hyun, an actress and a showbiz personality. Soo Hyun is really a promising star and can act so well, it is so obvious in his previous series, too. No doubt this drama skyrocketed to the stars with their ratings and this pair already a household name. Talking about creative and witty storyline, this drama is really worth it!

Super Junior M 24/7 ♥ ~ TonyMolyPH bromide calendar

It’s 2014 and I need a new calendar. Of course, none other than a bromide calendar from Tony Moly. For a thousand pesos worth of Tony Moly products, this is a memorable souvenir for all ELFs. I don’t need to think twice for this promo, since I am a Tony Moly member too, I made sure I have mine. I got two of the calendars ~ the other one from the fan signing event of Super Junior M here in Manila.

And believe me, this is one calendar I am keeping (and am not using it). I treasure my Super Junior collections the most I need to see it not stained everyday and always in perfect shape, so I’ve kept these calendars in my collection basket. Kekeke!!!~

Not only one but twelve months I get to see them. Check the photos below:

thanks to: TonyMolyPH Eastwood staff for being friendly and nice whenever I visit their store and talk about SJM boys. ♥

Dream Come True ~ Meet and Greet Super Junior M for TonyMoly

Yes! This is really a dream come true. As a blue-blooded ELF (hehehe), I would say this is the most successful and happiest fan event ever! Not only I got to see them up close, getting a handshake and a high five is a bonus, too!

Tony Moly poster

Tony Moly endorsers Super Junior M (minus Siwon) went here for a fan meet with fans 2^nd of February, 2014 before the Dream Kpop Fantasy Concert 2 happened the night of the same day. Super Junior M Is one of the 6 kpop groups to perform in the said concert.

So after Tony Moly’s promo event for the fan meet, I finally got mine (whew!) and prepared for the big event. This is the first time Super Junior is having their fan meet here in the country.

here's my TM products and fan meet pass ^^)

Initially, Tony Moly already announced that a fan can only choose one of the members to sign so I was really confused. Leeteuk oppa is my super favorite but after him, I want Siwon to sign for me. But since both of them is not part of the event, Leeteuk is not part of SJM and Siwon is a Mamonde endorser, I was rooting for Ryeowook and Zhoumi.

My sister’s favorite is Ryeowook and I chose to get his sign since I know I can see the boys up close, but Ryeowook’s tag (color coded tags for each member) were sold out (hahaha!) so I knew exactly, it’s ZhouMi for me. And I so love this guy!

our line before going inside the cinema

I was sooooo nervous on the line, while waiting, I listened to my mp3 and made good friends again, even talked to a Japanese ELF on the line, too. There were Japanese ELFs almost everywhere and I’m so proud of Super Junior M at that moment. These fans went their way from Japan to get the boys’ signs.

So we went inside, the feeling was sooooo wonderfully nerve-wracking, I don’t know if this is enough to describe it. While waiting on ZhouMi’s line, I already saw Kyuhyun and Henry shining or should I say glowing hahaha! And I saw Sungmin, Ryeowook, Donghae and Eunhyuk. I scanned them very fast since I am already the next one in our line. This just made me realize, this fan sign makes them soooooo near you can see their pores. hahaha!

I can’t take photos of course because fans are everywhere, but I got a shot of Kyuhyun’s and Henry’s faces hehehe!~ i was nervous because it's not allowed. (Mianhae, Tony Moly, but i can't help it.)

Kyuhyun (while I'm in ZhouMi's line)

Henry and Kyuhyun again (spazzing inside of me)

Then it’s my turn!

Gosh!~ I got heavy steps toward ZhouMi who is already smiling widely at me.

Then this:

me: (while walking towards ZhouMi) oh my goshh!!

ZhouMi: why?? *smiles* dont be shy...

me: because I like you so much!

ZhouMi: oh, thank you, thank you for coming.

me: I really wanna see you.

ZhouMi: *smiles at me* I'll see you again, ok?

me: yes,, yes!!!!

ZhouMi: *after signing* high five?

~~~ so he gave me a high five and then gave me a handshake! *deep inside* I feel like I'm lost.

But after that, I asked him if I can get a photo of him, and he said 'ah, uhm...' because the bouncer beside him told me 'ok na po, dun na po tayo' since he saw my poster already signed. But even if I can't take a photo, I told ZhouMi 'bye' and he smiled again at me.

This boy's got good english, too. *blush*

After I got his sign, I can’t walk away from the venue. I need to get a glimpse of them all again, so I looked at Henry, who I saw hugged a fan (omo!) and the rest. This time I am not even aware I am teary eyed. Walking outside, holding my signed poster, eventually, I cried my tears out. A fan saw me and she was crying, too. I don’t even know her but we hugged each other. She told me it was her birthday and asked Henry to hug her as a birthday gift. Of course, she was the fan I saw Henry hugged. Awwww, and she asked me who my favorite is in Super Junior, I said ‘it’s Leeteuk but he’s not here so I went to ZhouMi’. I was touched when this new friend said ‘ganyan naman pag true ELF, kahit wala yung favorite mo, andito pa din sa event to support them kahit sinong member pa yun’ and it is true. Even if I am Leeteuk’s die hard fan, I support every member as an ELF. And I am so proud and happy.

Thank you Tony Moly for this wonderful event. It was really a success! And not only we have nice Tony Moly products, we also got to meet the boys of our life. I saw the patience and smiling faces of the TM staff there and of course, the fans.

yyiii~ my signed poster! saranghae ZhouMi

Thanks to: TonyMolyPH, ELFs I met during this event in Gateway, and to everyone, to Lyndon who also hugged me when we cried.. to SJM ZhouMi and to Super Junior M who also made my life complete. ^^~ photo credits: TonyMolyPH, Allkpop and @MitangThailand from i<3ZhouMi
