Merry Christmas!
by javabeans
It’s still Christmas Eve for me, but it’s Christmas somewhere, so HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone! Stay warm and stay safe.
(And stay tuned for the Year in Review extravaganza where I and a few familiar guest-bloggerly names will be wrapping up all the highlights — and lowlights — of the 2008 year in dramas. You can catch up on last year’s review series here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.)
SONG OF THE DAY
Mot – “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” I love Mot for their offbeat tunes and dissonance; here the rock band puts a moody twist on the upbeat Christmas song. [ Download ]

Mot's variation of "All i Want ..." is the most refreshing spin on a Christmas song I've heard in a looooong while. Thanks for posting it! (:
Happy Christmas! :D

(Apparently the phrase "happy holidays" is an American anomaly not used in the rest of the world. Go figure.)

I can't believe I've been following dramabeans for a year now. Can't wait till your "year end reviews." Those are what got me here in the first place.

^ Bae Doo-na's a good guess, but the girl in the pic is Kim Min-hee. :)

Merry christmas!!! I'm now anticipating for the year in review.
But honestly, i really need to say for this year i never really get hooked into any drama or find any drama a gem. Maybe because i watch less dramas this year than last year. Even though i read recommendations and think that some dramas may be good but i don't tend to watch them.
- The last scandal of my life: i enjoyed reading the recaps so much that i think watching it is not as enjoyable as reading its recaps. Although i did get a few sneak peeks of that drama and it was pretty enjoyable but i just didn't have the urge to watch it thoroughly. Sadly, it's the last drama of Choi Jin Shil, one of my favorite actress in the past.
Sigh, because sageuk dramas aren't my type, i tend to stay away from them except for Hong Gil Dong because it looks interesting.
- Strongest Chilwoo: Although i love eric and i like GHS but strongest chilwoo wasn't that attractive for me because it seems like the clone of Honggildong/ iljimae.
- Hong Gil Dong: I enjoyed HGD until episode 10 and it started to drag. My love towards the cast wasn't enough for me to hang on there. Sung Yuri is an eye-candy, KJH really does the job well... as for JGS, he's cute but that's all.
I didn't even bother to watch Iljimae because i had no interest in the cast. As much as how many fans Lee Junki has, he's not my type. Maybe i just don't really like his girlish looks which looks awkward to me. Just because i'm bias =.= i never like pretty boys. But maybe it's good?
Theme-dramas such as Gourmet, Beethoven Virus and medical dramas aren't my type. Even after reading the recaps, they didn't catch my attention either.
Who are you's plot seems to be interesting and i tried the first episode, it wasn't to my liking but i will try to rewatch it again although i don't really appreciate Go Ahra's acting but maybe, i'll change my mind when i watch this.
- My Sweet Seoul: i like the directing but it wasn't engaging even though i love Ji Hyun Woo.
- East of Eden: draggggyyyyyy, revenge, love, hatred plot seems over-used.
- Lawyers of Republic of Korea: something in it just catches my attention despite my hesitation to watch it at first because it's another "theme drama". It was unexpected for me to like this drama.
My christmas wish are...
Next year... i wish...
1. There will be a drama as intense as What happened in Bali/ Que sera sera and a feel-good trendy cute drama such as coffee prince.
OR Something that made my heart beat so fast when the main characters meet each other as like in Soulmate?
I'm currently anticipating Boys over flowers but still, i shouldn't set my expectation high despite my love towards Lee Min Ho, GHS and Kim Bum. Since i experienced so many disappointment from my high expectations.
2. Won bin in an interesting drama instead of a movie please? So Jisub to be in a comedy drama, hehehehe......
3. Bae Seulgi in new activities, new album even though i'm not a big fan of her songs but i'm a big fan of her. (this is out of "drama" range but still, it's one of my wish)
4. A good PC, DS game please?
omo.... i just realized i wrote such a long comment...
I'm like writing my own year in review... but so far, 2008 is one of the worst drama year for me but that's also due to my picky-ness. Ugh...... i'm craving for a good drama to catch my attention.
