Cha Seung Won - Park Pil GiJang Seo Hee - Lee Yon Hwa
Pil Gi has finally fulfilled his father death wish of owning a house. He bought a very lovely house at a very cheap price. The house was everything. Huge, beautiful and it has a nice sea view.
However, there was a catch, Pil Gi started to feel something strange about the house and soon he found out that the house was haunted and the ghost wanted him to leave.
But due to an accident, Pil Gi suddenly woke up one day, having an extraordinary gift. He was able to see and talk to the ghost who resides in his house.
LEe Yon Hwa has been staying in her house for 2 years, waiting for her husband to come and so, after the days that they've spent together, Pil Gi began to understand her more and soon was able to help her find her husband.
This is a very hilarious movie. Aside from having a phobia with chickens, the crazy ghost tricks done by Yon Hwa here were really crazy.
Instead of getting scared, you will be touched by this movie because it'll show how love lingers on even in the after-life. Indeed, it is the truth that some people, even after their death were not able to rest in peace because there are some unsolved matters left on earth. And if they were lucky enough, humans can even help them even if their worlds are totally different. =]

Ahn Jae Mo - Jung Han SooYoon Eun Hye - Han Min Joo
Jung Han Soo was a bully feared by everyone. He has a notion of cutting his enemies, 7-centimeters in length with a cutter. And now, he has transferred to a new school.
But the Han Soo who transferred was not the one they all feared, but someone who's got the same name as the untimely legend. And so, Han Soo did his best to prove that he wasn't the guy they expected him to be.
With the involvement of the biggest bullies in school led byBaek Sung Gi and a tomboy chick Han Min Joo who eventually fell for him in the end, Han Soo tried his best to clear his name up.
This could be one of those considered as mistaken identity movies, but being mistaken as a ellish bully could sometimes have its own ups and downs. But then, one should always be able to understand what one tries to explain so that misunderstandings wouldn't arise and further cause trouble. =]

Cha Tae Hyun - Kim Su HoSong Hye Kyo - Bae Su Eun
If anyone who reads this has seen the movie based on Nicholas Sparks' A Walk to Remember, then this story won't be new.
This is a story about two high school classmates who eventually fell in love with each other. Su Eun, the prettiest in their school has suddenly turned her head to Su Ho, the not so ordinary guy.
Su Ho then, suddenly liked her since he cannot resist her charm. But Su Ho didn't know that Su Eun was already fighting aginst Leukemia at that time and soon, he realized that the girl he loved the most was already dying.
Some may say that this story was very predictable and so common, but for me who loves sad endings, it's still as new to me as seeing a very original movie.
Describing this movie, I could say that it's just the same as every leukemia movie I've seen but the plot has been different and the way the story was shown, it was really worth watching. =]

Park Jin Woo - AnthonyKim Ok Bin - Poor Girl
Eun Song - Double Eyes
Kim Byeol
Lee Kyeon
Lee Min Hyeok
Lee Young Joo
Nam Oh Jeong
Park Hye Won
Yoo Geon
Yoo Joo Hee
On the first part of the movie, people who watch it might get disappointed thinking that it was just another perverted crazy comedy. But as the movie progressed, you will realize that indeed, the story isn't only superficial but it has a deeper meaning.
The story is set on "No-Use High School" where the student body comprises of sexually ambiguous teenagers. But as what a typical high school should be, there were some students who cannot actually fit in to their environment.
There's this girl who carried poverty on her back. She was forced to sleep with older men in order to make money to pay for her family's debts.
Then Anthony, some handsome rich guy who transferred from Switzerland and the one-eyed guy termed "Cyclops" who retains a virgin even after all the criticisms he got.
"Poor Girl" has fallen for Anthony the first time she saw him but Anthony thought that they were very much different. Poor girl leaves on a cramped squatter's area while Anthony's parents were both diplomats.
Anthony however has fallen head over heels with Cyclops's pretty little sister but then he found out that she's transsexual.
Poor Girl struggles hard to earn money to help her family until she bumped into this rich cross-dresser who asked her to be with him whenever she needs help. And so by accident, Poor Girl was exposed dancing crazily on the internet and for a short period of time, she became popular.
However, certain problems occurred in school as girls suddenly became serious with their studies. Later on, they found out that some hideous monster who wanted to turn teens into nerdy virgins was behind this.
There were a lot of twists and turns as this movie is watched but in the end, life has its own miracles. During their graduation, "Poverty" who stays clinging on Poor Girl's back finally decided to leave her, transferring onto Anthony whose parents went bankrupt.
Indeed, life sometimes could be a soap opera.
As I've said, you may think this was just one random crazy comedy created by weird Koreans but as you think deeper, this movie shows life's realities, just in a hilarious way.
It has shown how a person can do anything just to strive off from poverty, it has shown how a person adopts to a place where he was supposed to grow up.
This movie also has shown the expectations of a society towards teenagers. Teenagers should remain pure until they are married but nowadays, we can only barely see teens like them. Just like in the movie, among the whole class, only one has remained a virgin and that only virgin was left to be discriminated and laughed at.
But then, people, even teens have their own right. Own right to do what they want and be responsible of their actions. Indeed, this movie shows the independence and courage of teenagers to stand in their own feet.
This also shows the discrepancy of trans gender. People might think that transsexual individuals are bad luck or not fit to be in the society but these people also have their own reasons in life that's why they decided to be different.
All we need in this world is understanding. No matter how different, weird and difficult life may be, if we understand each other's actions and thoughts, then we could live in a better place. =]

Park Gun Hyung - Lee Young SaeMoon Geun Young - Jang Chae Rin
They say dancing is everything. When a person knows how to dance, then that person has everything.
This movie is about the Best Dancesport Instructor in Korea, Lee Young Sae, who lost hope in dancing when his leg was badly injured by his rival during their championship.
Two years after, his friend forced him to dance again and brought him a girl from China who was also good in dancing. But then, it turned out that it wasn't the girl instead, her sister, Jang Chae Rin went there in her place. Worse, Chae Rin didn't know a single step in dancing.
So Young Sae went back to basics in teaching Chae Rin, telling her to love him while they were dancing, to put all her trust and feelings in him and to feel the rhythm of his body. Little did they know, as Chae Rin learns to dance, they were already dancing their way through each other's hearts.
But problems occured when Young Sae's friends who asked him to get back into dancing betrayed him and sold Chae Rin to his rival. In the end, Chae Rin had no choice but to be the rival's dance partner. But even though Chae Rin has changed her dance partner, she still didn't change her feelings toward the man who patiently taught her to dance even though he knew she was a hopeless case.
This movie made me cry a lot! Really beautiful! Not only the dance moves but the story as well was mesmerizing!
Sometimes, you think that waiting for the man you love is better then looking for him. Like fireflies, once the lover won't arrive, the firefly's light will fade away and they will die.
Dancing doesn't only require talent and skills. It also requires trust, emotions and of course determination in learning. Even though a person doesn't have any hope to learn new things, if that person is willing to learn and of course, trusts her teacher, she will be able to learn no matter what and even circumstances change, a person still shouldn't forget about what the other has done to her.
This is now my new favorite movie! =]
Im Chang Jeong - Jang Eun ShikHa Ji Won - Lee Eun Hyo
You may think that this is only one of those perverted hilarious movies shown on the big screen but think again. Sex is Zero brings us life's realities and the consequences it may give us.
This story tells about an innocent poor guy who's only got his eyes on the campus hottie. Jang Eun Shik was always tricked by his perverted friends however, his heart remained pure.
Lee Eun Hyo was one of the popular girls in campus. She belonged to a group who knew nothing but to practice for the Aerobics Competition and have fun with boys.
Lee Eun Hyo has deeply fallen for a guy who happened to be a total player. He accidentally impregnated Eun Hyo and took no responsibility for it.
Then came Eun Shik to the rescue. Even though he knew that Eun Hyo didn't like him, he helped her in getting rid of the baby.
But as easy as the abortion went, came the consequences for Eun Hyo however, Eun shik swore never to leave her side, even pawning most of his belongings just to provide Eun Hyo the comfort she needed.
This movie was really hilarious, random, stupid and pervert but you would never realize that it could actually teach you life's lessons that not even serious movies can teach.
The love that a person feels toward the other, even though it cannot be paid with the same amount of love can still be very powerful especially at times when the other party needed you the most. Even if that person has her eyes on someone else, as long as you keep holding on and continue loving unconditionally, you can still get what you long desired and that is the love from the person you loved.
This movie also teaches us how it is to be unsafe wen having sexual intercourse that's why in schools, sex education is indeed very important. A night of pleasure for one could be 9 months of suffering for the other and worse, could even cost a life from an innocent unborn being.
Mistakes can be made and as what they say, regrets only happen in the end. But still, whatever mistakes we make, we should always take responsibility for it and face the consequences with courage. =]

Kim Jae Won - Lee Heong JunHa Ji Won - Kang Ha Yeong
Kang Ha Yeong was so depressed after being dumped by her boyfriend just a day before their 100th Day Anniversary. In frustration, she accidentally met a college guy when he hit her with a soda can which she kicked and damaged his car.
Because Ha Yeong was poor, she wasn't able to pay for the damaged car and so, Lee Heong Jun let her sign a contract to be his slave for 100 Days. Desperate, Ha Yeoung signed it and she was forced to clean his house, do his laundry and run errands for him.
But during the 100 Days that they've been together, the two of them gradually realized that they were falling for each other...Although Heong Jun wasn't able to express it right away and still waited for Ha Yeong to reach college before he finally confessed.
Being with a person for more than three months could already create miracle even if that person was the most annoying person in the world.
Love can indeed change people and love can make a person change someone. This funny crazy movie can really make you fall in love and can even give you hope that somehow, someone would always come to your life, whether accidentally or really meant to be.

Hyun Bin - Han Tae Woong/Han Deuk GuSung Yu Ri - Kim Bo Ra
Im Ju Hwan - Seo Geon Woo
Yoo In Young - Lee Seung ri
Han Tae Woong was poor but a math genius who got into a prestigious science high school through a scholarship. There, he met his rival, Kim Jung Gyu who was popular in Seoul for being excellent in mathematics.
Jung Gyu and Tae Woong didn't start good when they first met each other. Because Jung Gyu refused defeat, he competed with Tae Woong even though Tae Woong was unwilling to.
But both of them became best friends in the end and together, they showed the school the real work of geniuses. At the same time, Tae Woong met a mysterious girl whom he never knew the name. They met twice and spent happy moments together on thos meetings.
But things became unfortunate for Tae Woong when his best friend Jung Gyu died after being frustrated because Tae Woong won the gold medal for the International Math Competition and not him. Depressed because he disappointed his father, Jung Gyu died on a road accident.
Because of this, Tae Woong blamed himself for the death of Jung Gyu ang decided to live a miserable life. He ran away from home and became a boxing sparring partner, in fulfillment of his best friend's wish to become a boxer. He dropped out of school, and eight years after, lived under the name of Han Deuk Gu.
One day, he once again met the girl whom he wasn't able to meet eight years ago because of Jung Gyu's death. That girl was Kim Bo Ra, the mysterious kid he met when he was in high school.
For fifteen years, Bo Ra has lived under the illness called Myasthenia Gravis. Because of this, she has become stubborn and will do anything to get attention. Her meeting with Deuk Gu was one attention-seeking meeting since at the hospital, she was threatening the physicians and staff that she will kill herself. But Tae Woong managed to stop her.
That wasn't their last meeting though. Deuk Gu and Bo Ra met again until they weren't able to avoid each other. Deuk Gu became Bo Ra's chauffeur and Bo Ra's father started liking her. Soon Bo Ra was able to find out that Deuk Gu was the "oppa" she met and liked eight years ago. And soon too, Deuk Gu found out that his best friend, Kim Jung Gyu was Bo Ra's older brother.
Because of this, even though they have feelings for each other, Deuk Gu decided to leave Bo Ra and her family however, Bo Ra kept on following him, telling him that she would never blame him for her brother's death.
They continued their relationship but there were obstacles coming now. Plus, Kim Bo Ra has developed Thymoma (cancer in the thymus cells) which metastasized and made her heart go weak.
Will their love for each other prevail? Will they still be able to go to Lapland together where the Snow Queen lives? And will Kim Bo Ra still live longer to fulfill Han Tae Woong's wish of having a family with her?
The Snow Queen is based on the Book of Hans Christian Andersen that tells a story about a woman with a heart as cold as snow. The Snow Queen is alone and lonely, but one person was able to make her happy and was warm enough to melt her heart.
Kim Bo Ra lived miserably under the shadows of her strict father and the memories of her dead brother. On the other hand, Han Tae Woong lived miserably under the shadow and memories of his dead best friend.
This series tells us how people, though have lived hardly for so many years would still be able to survive and soon be happy for some reason. This exceptional drama can touch the hearts of any viewers because this is not just a typical tragic drama where we can already predict what will happen in the end.
In this drama, things will really surprise us, especially because we usually think that people like Tae Woong and Bo Ra deserved a very happy ending. Too bad they didn't, but as what Tae Woong always says, "Live...Living is better."
Special recognition to the amazing actors. Hyun Bin really has set power in his character, making it more realistic, and making the viewers cry. Sung Yu Ri fit her character so much as being stubborn yet childish.
Five stars for my new favorite series! =]

Song Seung Hoon - Ji Eun SeongJeong Da Bin - Han Ye Won
A highly hilarious movie! Song Seung Hoon played a bullying hunk who has a bad past. Together with the late Jeong Da Bin, they made the big screen shake with laughter!
Ji Eun Seong was everybody's hunk. He was also a senior bully who wasn't scared of anything thrown in front of him.
Han Ye Won was a bubbly high school girl on the same school with Eun Seong and because of a very unavoidable circumstance, they hooked up together and Eun Seong asked her to be his girlfriend.
Not knowing how to love and having no one to love him, Eun Seong kept on bugging Ye Won even though she didn't want to go out with him. She despised Eun Seong so much.
But as she got to know more about him and his lonely past, Ye Won was determined to stay by Eun Seong's side, to make him happy and to make him feel the love he didn't get since his father died and his mom left him.
As what my friend said when she lent me this movie, "Indeed, love has it's own way of creating miracles!" Yes, it's true! Because it would take a miracle to make someone who was hardened by his past to be melted just by an ordinary girl.
It is stereotyped that ordinary students can never go out with popular ones but this movie proved the speculation wrong. If love can find a way, it will indeed find a way for two hearts t meet on the first snowfall.
Five stars for this hilarious movie! =]
Kim Rae Won - Park Sang MinMoon Geun Young - Suh Bo Eun
Sang Min and Bo Eun's grandfathers were bestfriends since before their parents were born. As a pact to their friendship, both have agreed to have their children married to each other. However, they both ended up having sons and so the marriage was passed to the third generation.
Sang Min and Bo Eun were agreed to be married by both families but there was a catch: Bo Eun was just a 15-year old high school student while Sang Min was a graduating college student majoring in Arts Education.
But because of her grandpa's deteriorating condition, Bo0 Eun was forced to marry her "oppa" and they lived on the same house together.
Not in love with each other, both of them acted as if they were just siblings and were often fighting with each other. Bo Eun even dated the popular baseball player in her school and Sang Min continued being a playboy.
But the times they have spent together didn't go to waste as Sang Min started to feel bad when he found out about Bo Eun's boyfriend. Bo Eun on the other hand, didn't just feel guilty towards her oppa, but she also felt that she needed to straighten her mistakes especially after seeing that Sang Min has done a lot of things for her.
In the end, Bo Eun managed to tell the whole school as well as the whole world that after living with him trhough fixed marriage, she has finally fallen in love with Sang Min.
Indeed, strange things like this could work out well. Thinking about the age, it's really impossible to hook a kid to an adult but My Little Bride thought otherwise.
Even by growing up together, age could still be one barrier to make love blossom but if the love can find a way, it can really find a way and it will really make two people with a huge age gap to fall in love with each other.
Five stars for this cute and funny movie! =]
