So Far So Good!

1 July 2016. 

Fast isn't it? First half of 2016 is already gone.. 
Well.. Been wanting to get a pt job but has been dragging and dragging due to issues and commitments here and there.. Shall find one soonnnn though..

Sent off Bestie to Korea for her 1 month Summer Exchange just a few hours ago.. Sad being unable to see her for 1 month.. But glad for her though.. Hope she will have loads of fun and enjoy her time there~ 

Daily happenings are just here and there that I shan't elaborate on.. Went on a JB trip with BFFs on a fine day in June and can't wait to go again.. 
Days where Omma is not working are always shiok but just a few days this time round though so.. Not shiok enough!! Tsk!

Time to jot on some drama notes and rant on some recent entertainment issues to look back on..

So for the past month.. I have watched 犀利仁师, 长在面包树上的女人, 十年 你还好吗, My Lovely Girl and the just completed Entertainer.

犀利仁师 was more for the sake of 隆诗 couple which was their 3rd drama together,, Their chemistry is good and just looking at them makes you feel so sweet haha. It was a fiction, comedy 古装 drama which is kinda light-hearted and progressive plot.. 

长在面包树上的女人 was for the sake of Bosco Wong initially.. Hahaha and gosh I really took my time to watch through this good ol' 38 episodes! Saying initially as, as the drama progresses there are some pointers to look on and ponder about.. This drama talks about 3 woman with different perspectives on love, going through the various trials and tribulations in life in the seek of their ideal ones and lives eventually.. 
Name as it is.. Love or Bread? Or both Love and Bread? That's the main question.

十年 你还好吗 was a Mediacorp Channel 8 9pm show.. It's been long since I have watched a C89pm show as they don't seem to attract my eyes.. This drama is trying to bring the point of 人生没有重来, basically life cannot be rewind.. The melo and open-ended ending in the end has much controversies though.. 

In my opinion, though such ending can be more impactful and really does set you out to reflect about your life.. But it is really too much of melo throughout.. It could have been better scripted to at least leave a specific ending or allow the leads to be better off than how it just abruptly ended in this way.

Moving on to my most recent 2 K-Dramas.. Started with 1 episode of Entertainer and decided to watch My Lovely Girl first and then move back to Entertainer.. Summarising them together in s nutshell due to the nature of both dramas..

Both dramas are generally talking about the idol agencies and I believe there are really such incidents that happen thus having such dramas.. Both are talking about how despicable and unscrupulous agencies can be (especially the CEOs) can be in order for them to be beneficial.. They show how the leads went through much troubles and unfortunate incidents before setting out to seek for their rights and redressing their grievances, healing through love and kindness..

My Lovely Girl is kinda more fictional and not as unfortunate as Entertainer.. 
1 point of thought for this is that.. How does the deceased elder sister feel when her younger sister got together with her bf? Just curious as I have a sister too.. Can't imagine it though.. Ha! But that was just a trivial thought of mine.. 

The healing part through music and companionship was very touching though.. Nevertheless, it was still a good thing that they got together and understood each other's pain and suffering, healing and getting over together in the process instead of living alone in pain..

Entertainer was seriously an awesome one!! It really shows the dark and black side of agencies (maybe still it's not the darkest and blackest side yet as worst of the worst things may be too harsh to mention) and how a once big shot director (Ji Sung) of a huge agency got himself into huge troubles after pitting himself against the agency to protect his artists. He then set-up his own one-man agency and formed a band called the Entertainer (Ddandara) Band. It is a drama that is really worth watching. Shan't elaborate on the subsequent happenings and secrets that unfolds as they progress as a band.. 

Ji Sung is really awesome that I must mention and give credits to for allowing this drama to be even more vivid and interesting.. I have been watching all of his dramas in the recent years and I must say that he's a really awesome, daebak actor!! The drama may be quite dry and plain in expressions if it was to be without him.. He also manages to inspire his fellow actors in expressing and delivering their lines and expressions.. It looks as if he was really the reliable CEO and hyung that the Ddandara boys could look up to and making them into a huge and lovely family.. 
He's a really priceless gem~

Hyeri's acting on the other hand is abit (or quite) too over though.. Could be fine-tuned and improve on such that it doesn't feel so surreal..

Another discovery is Min Hyuk!! Yes! It's CN Blue's drummer, Kang Min Hyuk!! His voice sounds so soothing and nice and he was acting as the vocalist of the band in the drama!! He sure would gain popularity and tremendous support if he were to go solo apart from his drummer role in CN Blue.. His acting was adorable in some sense, and also genuine.. Min Hyuk was also another spark in spicing up the drama~

Ddandara boys are kinda cutesy too hahaha.. A loss if you don't watch the drama!

Ok.. And now time to rant on the FNC stocks speculation issue.. Didn't look at this news and subsequent reports till it was mentioned that idols are reportedly involved and under investigation and Yong Hwa was the one!! Was reading the past few days' news on this issue.. Couldn't and wouldn't believe that Yong Hwa was such a person and luckily!! It was proven that he was innocent!! It was really great to know that or he would be doomed for the rest of his life.. 

Can't believe that this is what they usually stoop to by using the celebs and idols to cover up other things that are going on so as to divert public as well as the whole world's attention.. Sometimes I would wonder perhaps they would be living a simpler life if they have not stepped into the entertainment/showbiz industry.. The industry is already very bizarre but their G mage it even more bizarre and dangerous for them instead of protecting them.. 

Done!!

It's time to move on!! Loads of K and TW dramas are awaiting!! Variety Shows have been on and off as usual..
