Korean movies et al

Jeon Ji-hyeon

Visiting Koreans when you listen to them, their accent is, er, what is that? Strange or whatever. The faces, never mind. But at least, they do hilarious movies. The 1,000-in-1 pirated DVD I borrowed from a friend almost two weeks ago is a colletion of funny flicks that although I don't understand most of them, it's still worth spending my late-nights with. And yesterday I got a chance to finally watch My Sassy Girl, upon the owner's insistence (and I had to return her DVD too). And the sassy girl, Jeon Ji-hyeon, is so pretty, I even fell in love with her. LOL! Then I learnt from the owner that she also stars in most of the films in that 1,000-in-1 DVD. I finished Windstruck even if it was already time for our billiard match. Then I heard from the owner again (um, I can't read quite well the titles in the cover cos they're not only too tiny, they're also blurry so I needed direction) that she also plays one of the lead stars in Il Mare, from which Lakehouse was copied. Thankfully, though, this one movie is not in that DVD collection, or I'd have missed the match.

I don't know with Korean films, but they always try to be entertaining. There's even one movie (I forgot the title) in this same DVD where I developed a cough for laughing too much. The same with My Sassy Girl. Windstruck, it's nonetheless funny, but it's focused more on the love story of the two characters. And Koreans are known for making romantic films with not-so-happy endings, where one of the major players dies in the end. Although Windstruck is a bit different. I actually find it a bit cute. I suggest, watch My Sassy Girl first, so you could better appreciate the second Jeon Ji-hyeon-starrer film.

So what's really up with showbusiness? I gathered Grey's Anatomy will be back next month. Strike is finally over. I so can't wait to see it. As for the movies, 10,000BC was a big hit over the weekend, I've read in some site. I watched it last Saturday, and I could say it isn't that great (even the title lacks it). It lacks substance and a good story-telling technique. (I really miss sitting in a cinema chair and loving every moment of it because in front of me is a movie that I'll remember for the rest of my life. vfft!)

As for the local news, I've recently read about Mura's having crush on Angel Locsin and Sharon Cuneta's making her daughter Frankie sell turon and banana cue. I really don't know what has gotten into me today. I really don't know. And you're still reading me. tee hee...Happy Monday!
