My heart is bleeding after watching this. The aftereffect is really bad this time. sighhh In short, this series was awesome. It was intense so much and I was always anticipating the next scene. It was so sad as well, the king was especially awesome. In fact, all the cast were awesome. Young chae yoon really left an impression on me. He portrayed his role fabulously. I'm not going to babble much after this, so I'm just going to recommend this series and hope that you'll enjoy it. Here's a bit of sneak peek for you. well that or you can consider it a spoiler hehehe enjoy!!!
500 years ago in the Joseon Dynasty. The Pipe of the prophecy has fallen into the evil hands of the goblins, propelling the world into a whirlwind of disorder. The ancient Taoist wizards turn to the greatest ascetics of their time, the Master (Baek Yoon-sik) and Hwadam (Kim Yoon-seok) for help in vanquishing the goblins and trust each wizard with one half of the Pipe. Meanwhile, the Master’s rascal student Jeon Woochi (Kang Dong-won) tricks the king with the art of transformation and creates a fiasco, which makes the three Taoist wizards and Hwadam visit the Master. But they find the Master murdered and his half of the Pipe missing. Woochi is framed for the murder, and as punishment he and his trusty dog Chorangyi (Yoo Hae-jin) are imprisoned inside a scroll by the wizards. Seoul, 2009. For some strange reason, goblins that had been sealed up in the past begin to appear one by one, wreaking havoc on the city. The three Taoist wizards had been enjoying their years of retirement as a priest, a monk, and a shaman, while Hwadam has long disappeared in order to polish his Taoist art. After much discussion, the three wizards unseal the scroll and call forth Jeon Woochi and Chorangyi. Being offered freedom in return for catching the goblins, Woochi sets out on his task. But what began as a hunt for goblins slowly turns into Woochi's personal sightseeing expedition of the modern-day world. And to top it off, he meets a woman with the same face as the one that had captivated him so many centuries ago (Im Soo-jung). Together with Seo In-kyung (his new, yet old love), Woochi begins his adventure.
well as you can see, this is more if a fantasy action, fusion mixed historical drama. no idea what to call it hehe what i really enjoyed most about this movie was the special effects. when woochi used his powers, it didn't look fake at all, it was so powerful it left me whoaaaa. also it was hilarious as hell. especially when i saw the true faces of the goblins. pfft... you'll know when you watch it hehe enjoy this.
Based on a novel, this beautiful period film centers on a tomboyish detective by the name of Nam Sun (Ha Ji Won, from Love So Divine and Phone) who ends up being assigned to investigate a case revolving around some counterfeit coins. Going deep undercover in a variety of diverse disguises, Nam Sun quickly finds herself chasing after a notorious assassin named Sad Eyes (Kang Dong Won, from Too Beautiful to Lie and Romance of Their Own), who just may be involved in the crime she's investigating.
starring kang dong won and ha ji won, these two had such sizzling chemistry in this movie, just great teamwork, and they managed to pull of the fight scenes fabulously. their fight was literally a tango and i'm sure you'll agree with me when you watch this.
all in all, this is quite a good movie though you might be a little confused at first, but one thing you'll get is they'll be on opposite sides although both will feel that pull towards each other.

They fall in love instantly but later they find out that their parents are sworn enemies.
Recently, I've been into historical period dramas, although of course more for the personal stories it has rather than the political happenings. ehhehe I only started watching this recently because i dislike having tragedies usually, i don't like crying. but despite that, i decided to watch it because it seemed to have a good romance story and a lot of action. and i'm glad that i decided to go for it cos i enjoyed it tremendously.
All the characters really got to me, the villainous and yet fatherly, suyang, the pitiful shin myeong, the cheerful jong, the proud princess gyung hye, the mischievous and later vengeful seung yu, the strong and kind se ryung, their maids, friends and everyone. the chemistry was amazing between the leads and even the supporting casts.
i teared up some parts, i swooned at some parts, i cussed at some parts but in the end, the drama kept me wanting for more and i was fully satisfied with how it ended although of course, there were some who were not satisfied.
this is the first show of the male lead that i'm watching and although at first, he was ok for me, he really grew on me. it's not everyone who can show their feelings well but he did it so well just through their eyes.
but i'm the type who just enjoys a drama while watching and don't think of any other things or think too deeply. it's just a drama anyway. but oh how wonderful this one was. my hunger for historical romance periods hasn't waned yet so i'll be watching some more and there are many on my list to watch.
this is a definite recommend from me, you can find it complete on youtube, although there are some parts that are missing or doesn't work. then you can just google the episodes, there are many links out there, one is dramacrazy, i view on their wat link. enjoy!!!
below are two of my favourite osts for the show. love it. enjoy!
A missing person case involving a female university student and the victim in a hit and run case appears to be related. Detectives look for a witness. Into the police office walks Min Soo-Ah (Kim Ha-Neul). She used to be a promising cadet at the police academy, but after a horrific car accident which killed her brother, Soo-Ah's police career ended. Min Soo-Ah also lost her eyesight in the car accident. Min Soo-Ah reveals to Detective Jo (Jo Hie-Bong) at the police station that on the night of the hit and run case she was picked up by a taxi cab driver. Soo-Ah believes the taxi driver may be the perpetrator of the crimes. Initially, Detective Jo doesn't take Soo-Ah's claims seriously because she is blind, but when Soo-Ah displays her acute senses the detective starts to believe her. Detective Jo and Min Soo-Ah then work together to find the taxi cab driver, but all their leads turn up empty. Then another witness comes forward Kwon Ki-Sub (Yoo Seung-Ho). Kwon Ki-Sub is a motorcycle delivery boy who claims to have also witness the hit and run incident. Kwon Ki-Sub also emphatically states that the car in question was not a taxi cab, but rather an imported sedan. Meanwhile, Min Soo-Ah finds herself being stalked by a mysterious man ...
AMAZING!!! this movie was simply amazing with a capital OMG! man this movie really gripped me from the beginning, god, it made me tear up, and it was so intense my heart was literally bursting apart as if i had been running the 100m dash.
it was so tragic at some moments and touching at others, i could feel guilt, fear, sadness and all the emotions brought out by the cast who were wonderful. the scenes were unexpected at times making me go, what? he did tht seriously???
i will definitely recommend this movie that will definitely stir your heart. our blind lady, our rebellious boy, and our detective who always seems to get the flop jobs, hehehe this is definitely a good watch. i watched it all on epdrama, complete with english subtitles.

well as usual, initially, i was a little skeptical of this drama as we don't see much paranormal asian dramas. i thought it'd kind of get cheesy but oh no, i was proven wrong time and again as i kept watching and watching and watching.
this was actually put together so well, all the story coming back to a circle and being linked, it surprised me when i found out about it. of course, there were plots that were predictable but there were also twists that kept surprising me.
the cast was amazing, their team was amazing and the ending was amazing! what more can i say? the camaraderie between our prosecutor and his teddy-like police friend hehehe, the dancing around between our leads, the villains themselves and even the murder plots, they were fantastic.
now i totally can't wait for season 2. hellow heaven!!!
here's hoping this will be even better, comes out faster so that all us vamp junkies can get addicted even more!!!
...ok well, this is all complete and online on youtube with english subs. you can also find it on dramacrazy. and if the links don't work, my advice is to google each and every episode and go for the link that will work cos that's what i do. best of luck:D and enjoy!

hmmm...well recently you might have noticed i've been writing a lot on japanese drama. well actually the latest were all written on the same day cos right now, i'm in the mood. and i had completed those dramas recently too. well recently i've been in the mood for japanese dramas, drifting away from taiwanese dramas.
but anyway, there's also a manga for this with the same title. i've not read the manga as well as the art didn't really interest me but now, after watching the tv series, i might decide to give it a try after my mood for watching dramas go down.
this is the type of drama i enjoy, with some action and clever tricking hehehe there was good chemistry between the leads as well. frankly speaking i did not enjoy the movie as much. i had hoped fervently that it would be a sequel to the tv series but it was totally on its own although it's understandable since there is a time limit to movies so it's hard to cram everything in.
but the tv series was great. the story progressed gradually, although i wish there would be a next season although it seems unlikely. the ending felt incomplete for me but despite that, it is a good series. yamapi is cool here. you can find this on dramacrazy.
