Joe Cheng is way over his head 鄭元暢也太過份了吧!

^Honey And Clover 蜂蜜幸運草

I never really liked TW drama actor Joe Cheng very much. In ISWAK, I strongly disliked his character. I mean, Ariel deserves much better! (no offense to ISWAK fans!)

Last week on a reality show, when asked about how his new drama, Honey and Clover will turn out, Joe Cheng stated, Either way, it'll be much better than Wish To See You Again. That hurt! I mean, WTSYA probably isn't very great, but how could he say that? :(

Anyways, when HAC broadcasted this week, I had to smile. ^^ The episode rating was 1.08 (very low)! That is the same with WTSYA's average rating. I think more people would've watched it if there wasn't Fated To Love You. FTLY's ratings rose up to 6.71 last week! So amazing...

Stars On The Rise 飛行偶像: 陳妍希 Michelle Chen

Stars On The Rise 飛行偶像 's famous person today is...(claps)...陳妍希 Michelle Chen!

Stars On The Rise 飛行偶像 features a new "star" regularly. That famous person can be your favorite actress/actor. OR it could be someone you never paid attention to before. Even more, maybe you never even heard of him/her! Either way, Stars On The Rise 飛行偶像 lets people get to know "stars".

陳妍希 Michelle Chen was chosen for the Notebook on SOTR because she interested me very much. Her first appearance on showbiz was the popular T-Drama, Why Why Love. There she portrayed as a supporting actress. I think she was very successful, overall. ^^ Her character was very bold, and supportive of the main actress. She really contributed to the drama itself!

^江小南 Jiang Xiao Nan in Why Why Love~ Kawaii!

Right after WWL, Michelle was set to act as main actress in the drama, Wish To See You Again, with Vic Zhou as the main actor. Wow! A huge step. She looked kinda older and more serious in WTSYA, but her acting improved!



^Pan Neng Xian 潘能賢 in WTSYA (no comment)


Now I hear she's working with Rainie on her new drama, The Bad Campus Belle. The details are not clear, but I think it will be quite nice.

Stars On The Rise 飛行偶像's famous person today is...(drum roll)...Erika Toda!

Stars On The Rise 飛行偶像 is a new page of the Notebook. It features a new "star" regularly. That famous person can be your favorite actress/actor. OR it could be someone you never paid attention to before. Even more, maybe you never even heard of him/her! Either way, Stars On The Rise 飛行偶像 lets people get to know "stars".

Erika Toda has acted in many dramas, but mostly as supporting actress. I first saw her as Uehara Mariko in Nobuta Wo Produce. I think her character there is so charismatic! ^^
I know she's in Death Note, and again as a SA. Her only main character drama is Liar Game. I actually watched part of Liar Game, then freaked out. I HATE scary movies! I had bad dreams that night... ^^|||

花很迷惘 MV （吳忠明＋葉瑋庭)

我好喜歡星光二班中的黑妞/葉瑋庭!
現在也有比較喜歡吳忠明 因為他和元若藍合唱心願便利貼!

這首歌曲還不錯而且 MV 拍的很好 ^^

I love One Million Star's Uni Yie!
Now I like Quack Wu too, but only because he also sang Sticky Notes With Wishes from Fated to Love You! I love the song, and the MV has some funny effects! :D

Casting! Full House 2

YAY! Season 2 of the widely popular K-Drama is in the making! It seems the script is in progress, but the casting still has to be picked. I loved season 1! BUT, Song Hye-Kyo and Rain might not be in Season 2! ><
What is the point of Full House without them? Geez. There's also a rumor that YEH (Yoon Eun-Hye) will star as Ji-Eun. Awkward!

超搞笑羅志祥和美滿小S VS. 帥氣王力宏 Xiao Zhu Prankcalling Leehom

The Inside Scoop:
A few years ago, 小S/ Xiao S and 羅志祥/Xiao Zhu prankcalled Lee Hom. Xiao Zhu pretended to be Aaron Kwok (Hong Kong actor that worked with Lee Hom on 'China Strike Force') on the phone. The problem was that, neither Xiao Zhu, neither knew that Lee Hom was at USA. So when they called, it was 4am at USA and Lee Hom was sleeping! So notice Lee hom's sleepy voice and see how polite he is even when he's tired! ^^

I think Leehom knew all along it was just a prank. But he was so polite! ^_^
NOTE: This is a fan made video!

江美琪+張智成-愛情

這是昨天超級星光大道裡Pets和吳正傑合唱的歌...好好聽ㄛ!

看Pets和吳正傑合唱版

On yesterday's One Million Star, Pets and Wu sang this song. I love it, and searched all over for its original version. Wha-la!

Sadly, they didn't pass, and Wu was eliminated. :(
I love Pets! But she became a little weird at the end of the 2nd season, or else she could have gotten first place. Her voice makes goosebumps rise on my arms. :D

愛情

作詞：姚謙/張洪量　作曲：張洪量　

男：（若不是因為愛著你）怎麼會夜深還沒睡意
　　每個念頭都關於你我想你　想你　好想你
　　(若不是因為愛著你)怎會有不安的情緒
　　每個莫名的日子裡我想你　想你　好想你
　　愛是折磨人的東西　卻又捨不得這樣放棄
　　不停揣測你的心裡　可有我姓名

女：（若不是因為愛著你）怎麼會夜深還沒睡意
　　每個念頭都關於你我想你　想你　好想你
　　（若不是因為愛著你)）怎會有不安的情緒
　　每個莫名的日子裡我想你　想你　好想你
　　愛是折磨人的東西　卻又捨不得這樣放棄
　　不停揣測你的心裡　可有我姓名

合：愛是折磨人的東西　卻又捨不得這樣放棄
　　不停揣測你的心裡　可有我姓名
　　愛是我唯一的祕密　讓人心碎卻又著迷
　　無論是用什麼言語　只會　只會思念你
　（若不是因為愛著你）怎會不經意就嘆息
　　有種不完整的心情　愛你　（愛著你）

超級星光大道 小康妮Connie Talbot

This was yesterday's One Million Star. I watch this show when I want, sometimes. But yesterday Connie Talbot from the Britains Got Talent came to Taipei! And of course performed in our favorite reality TV show, OMS!

I love Connie! I first watched her on the Britain show, where she was singing Over The Rainbow by Judy Garland. Just 7 years old, she is really talented. ^_^

She actually came to Taiwan to promote her new album, Over The Rainbow.


I think it's definitely worth it! She is so adorable! And her voice is great...so amazing for a little girl. She's always smiling, so kawaii!

See Connie's webbie.

小豬廁所搞笑片

I was practically on the floor by the time I finished watching this video! It's so funny! Show Luo really likes to be class clown. And it's in the BATHROOM! That makes it a whole lot funnier. :D
Plus, he was lip-syncing to the song that was playing in the bathroom. The whole thing was kinda weird, if you think about it. I mean, who took that video...?

恆星- 飛倫海 Rolling Love OST

The one thing I really wanted to see on Sunday's episode of Rolling Love was the new OST. I love Fahrenheit! I really think they've improved ever since their first appearance in showbiz.

I totally love this song! It's cool, in a way.

Lyrics:

恆星
作詞：徐昱鈴　作曲：邁可林

一步一步像恆星轉動　
逆風也不放手　
因為你在我胸口擦亮的夢　
一天一天像恆星閃爍　
心跳絕不放鬆　
我相信未來會有未來的我　

你的微笑像火柴　
划過我心臟動脈
眼前突然間出現　
夢的形狀等著我探勘　

我明白一切不會像　
雙手合十般簡單　
但我能確定　
有什麼已經燃燒起來　

Rap：從前抱著夢　
　　　在角落發呆的我　
　　　如果可以因為一個笑而甦醒　
　　　那麼今後　請儘管相信　
　　　有你　我會是　最亮的恆星　

一步一步像恆星轉動　
逆風也不放手　
因為你在我胸口擦亮的夢　
一天一天像恆星閃爍　
心跳絕不放鬆　
我相信未來會有你驕傲的　我存在　

I have the MP3, so if anyone wants it, just leave me your email! :D

Listen to the End Theme Song, 消失的彩虹, by Genie Zhuo.

Full House풀하우스

I finally finished this drama! It's actually only my second k-drama...Coffee Prince was my first. I searched a whole lot for it, actually. I watched episode 1 on DailyMotion, then found the rest of the episodes were in another language. Like French, or something. So I switched to IMEEM, but it was so slow, I could have fell asleep. I really like IMEEM, but they seriously need to improve their media players. I finally found the complete series on Google Videos. And it loads fast. ;D

Ok, about the actual drama. It was really good! Sweet in its own way, while romantic in others. Still, I think the part about her friends selling her house was highly impossible.

CHARACTER CHECK:

• Han Ji-Eun (Song Hye-Gyo)~ I have to say, she acted SO good! Ji-Eun is this kinda naive and charismatic person. Song Hye-Gyo was really fit for this role. Plus, her chemistry with Lee Young-Jae(Bi Rain) was amazing. After this, I will always see her and think, hey, isn't that Han Ji-Eun. The biggest success of an actress/actor is to really pull the audience inside the drama. And I'm glad to say, Full House did it very well.
• Lee Young-Jae (Bi Rain)~ Rain also fitted this role very well. A successful actor, he enters a contract marriage with Ji-Eun. He can be angry, happy, jealous, disappointed, and many other feelings at the same time. Plus, he is so kawaii! ^_^
• Kang Hye-Won (Han Eun-Jung)~ Oh...well, Hye-Won is the girl antagonist. You wouldn't expect anyone to like her. Plus, her clothes are weird. You start to like her in the end, but it's still kinda too late to notice if her acting is good or not. At the start, you're just too focused with," Hye-Won is evil!". It's true though...
• Yoo Min-Hyuk (Kim Sung-Soo)~ He's pretty cool, I guess. The guy that every girl dreams of having. But at the end, he also becomes a little hateful. Should I say a little? Maybe a lot.

RECAP:
The end kinda got slow, and kinda boring, even. Still, it's definitely a good drama to watch!
The theme songs are really good, because they really fit into the story.
About Young-Jae's family, I really think that they are great. Maybe not at the start, but later on, you will see that everyone has their own special personality.
As an additional tidbit, I think the house, Full House, was gorgeous! I'd love to live there!
Wikipedia's Comment:
Full House was filmed in the Gwangyeok-si area of Incheon. Located near Incheon International Airport, the place may be reached in a ten-minute boat ride from Sammok Harbor to this quiet, seashore getaway. Unlike other filming locations in Korea, this is an actual house. Made mostly of wood, this house, which is a private-owned vacation house, cost approximately the equivalent of one million United States dollars to build. The beach front property looks out onto open waters, with elegant views that could be used on any postcard. Many fans of the miniseries make a pilgrimage to this now famous home. Nearby sightseeing locations include Jogak (sculpture) Park on Modo Island; a bridge connects these two islands.


HUGS&KISSES TO DRAMAWIKI:

Synopsis:
Han Ji-Eun (Song Hye Kyo) lives in a house called Full House, built by her father. She is an aspiring novelist. One day, two of her friends, for money reasons, trick her and sell her house - when she returns from a vacation, she discovers it has been sold to Lee Young-Jae (비/Bi (Rain)), an actor who has just shot to stardom. Though they don't get along with each other, as she is messy and he has a bad temper and an affection for cleaning, they agree to live with each other and Ji-Eun works as his maid in order to buy her house back. Out of a misunderstanding and Young-Jae's ill-fated try to make the love of his life, Kang Hye-Won (Han Eun Jung) jealous, Young-Jae marries Ji-Eun. They set up a contract for the marriage to last six months. During that time, complications ensue and Ji-Eun and Young-Jae become attracted to each other. Also, Ji-Eun starts to hold a strong bond with Young-Jae's family. However, Young-Jae's bad temper along with the romantic attentions of Yoo Min-Hyuk (Kim Sung Soo), Ji-Eun's handsome and friendly publisher, starts to create a rift between the couple. Young-Jae and Ji-Eun get a divorce and he moves away. When he returns, he realizes that Ji-Eun hasn't married yet and knows that he has fallen in love with her - and she with him. He proposes to her, this time for the right reasons, and finally, they get married the second time and live happily ever after.

A BOW TO THE CAST:

• Bi (Rain) as Lee Young Jae
• Song Hye Gyo as Han Ji Eun
• Han Eun Jung as Kang Hye Won
• Kim Sung Soo as Yoo Min Hyuk
• Jang Yong as Mr. Lee (Young-jae's Father)
• Sun Woo Eun Sook as Ms. Kim (Young-jae's Mother)
• Kim Ji Young as Young-jae's Grandmother
• Do Han as Dong Wook
• Lee Young Eun as Hee Jin
• Im Ye Jin as Dae Pyo

Watch Full House Ep 1.
I think it won't be too hard to find the rest, just type in Full House(ep#), and put the duration as long. Anyhow, Google Videos doesn't have Episode 15, but IMEEM does. It's slow, but only for one ep.
Watch Full House Ep 15 @ IMEEM.
NOTE: You have to sign up for IMEEM first. It's fast! And easy.

Enjoy! Aja aja! Fighting~

Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) - Agent J Movie

This is Jolin's new album mini-movie, and it's actually pretty good. It's short, only about 30 minutes, but in these thirty minutes, you can see that Jolin's acting has really improved ever since she shot her first movie/drama, Hi! Working Girl. It was also her last one.

If they reshot Hi! Working Girl, I'm sure that she would be much better. Her face expressions, movements and all. Plus, the song really complements the mini-movie.

The main guy in here, is Kim Jae Won, who looks a big deal like Nicholas Teo. Kim Jae Won actually speaks Korean here, while Jolin speaks Chinese. And then we have the weird scientists, who speaks in English, in controversy with the Paris peeps, who speaks French. Seems like everyone lives in their own world. ;D

We all hope Jolin does more of these in the future!

~Fighting!

翻滾吧！蛋炒飯 Preview 2

This is a different version of Rolling Love Preview. I think it's definitely going to be a pretty interesting! Plus, it's the first time Jiro is acting the main guy. I totally can't wait for it, luckily, it's starting this Sunday! ^_^

It's pretty cute, and I expect it to be funny like Smiling Pasta! Well, I still am counting down the days to this show, and hope you guys will be watching it too! :D

王子 Prince MV (Nicholas Teo)

This is Nicholas Teo's MV, 王子/Prince. It's actually pretty good. His voice is really different from other singers. But of course, in order for a singer to be successful, you have to have some sort of special point. Like Jay Chou, who uses a different voice to sing, so it sounds very cool, and when you hear it, you go,"Hey! That's Jay!" For Nicholas, there's a indescribable voice when he sings, and you can also tell it's him that's singing.

But Nicholas is also from Malaysia, and there's a lot of famous singers that appeared from there. Such as Wu Chun, and Cao Ge. :D

Now about the actual MV. It looks very emo, if you ask me. Plus, Nicholas Teo looked much better with the hairdo from Smiling Pasta. Still, the song itself isn't half bad. So enjoy! ^_^
