Jae Hee - Chae Moo RyongHan Ga In - Ma Yoo Hee
Kim Jeong Hoon - Yoo Joon Ha
Dennis Oh - Johnny Krueger
Jeon Hye Bin - Jang Seung Mi
Who would have thought that a wicked witch could actually turn into a pretty damsel in distress just because of love?
This series is one of those typical romantic comedy series but with a twist. This time, the woman was on the rich and arrogant side and the man was on the poor and pathetic side. Together with other obstacles including the father, the girlfriend, the potential man and the ex-boyfriend, a wonderful story was created.
Yoo Hee grew up to always have hatred in her heart. Living under the shadows of her father, she was forced to act like omeone who could never have friends hence she was dubbed as the Witch.
Moo ryong was a happy go lucky man who wished to become a chef and was looking up to Johnny who soon turned out to be his personal cooking instructor.
Joon Ha and Seung Mi on the other hand played the girlfriend and ex-boyfriend of our main characters but Joon Ha was the more evil one. He bound up with Yoo Hee's father to keep her from falling in love with her debtor and love consultant, Chae Moo Ryong.
I've seen a lot of love stories already and yet, I quite have different views with all those stories that I've seen. In Witch Yoo Hee, I can say that love really has the power to change one person. It can either make the person change for the better or for the worse. It can make a person think about others and it can also make one a selfish being.
In this series, we can see how much love has eaten the pride of a seemingly arrogant person and become the one who desperately wanted to cling on with the love that she had. We can also see how someone was willing to let go so as not to hurt the other and how love can integrate greed and can do anything even the worse just to get the love that he wanted.
In conclusion, Witch Yoo Hee isn't only a romantic comedy story. It is also a mirror of life's hardships when love gets on the way. =]

Lee Seo Jin - Baek Jung WonPark Han Byul - Kim Ji Woo
Son Tae Young - I-hwa
Do vampires really exist? Are there still 300-year old vampires roaming around our contemporary world?
Freeze tells a story about two vampires living for over 300 years in modern Korea.
Some would say that this series is absurd because it carries the concept of dark creatures. But this series is one of the results of Koreans' creativity because in its 5 episodes, viewers could see and understand what contemporary vampires go through. Haing been caught between not doing bad and trying to survive, most of them were forced to kill people just to satisfy their thirst for blood while some of them use the black market to buy blood to drink.
But no matter how exciting a vampire's life can be, it could become more exciting especially if that vampire who lived under the darkness would enlighten up as one falls in love with a human.
Baek Jung Won fell in love with his former lover's daughter, Kim Ji Woo and I-hwa, not wanting it to happen tried her very best to keep them apart, even comitting heinous crimes just to impress Jung Won.
But love, once it is felt can never easily be broken apart by greed and selfishness for only in love will you find comfort from all your insecurities be it for over 300 years. This series showed how a person is willing to change and decides to live longer just for love and how this person also tries to keep his love in safety even though it meant hurting that love.
Although Freeze has quite a bad ending, I think it is great in general and for five episodes only, it can already show us a lot of things about good and bad vampires alive and how humans deal with it.

Jo In Sung - Oh Sang MinSon Ye Jin - Suh Joo Hee/Ji Hae
Jo Seung Woo - Oh Joon Ha
Lee Ki Woo - Tae Soo
A very touching masterpiece. The classic shows a story about a love which has never been fulfilled only to be continued by their next generation.
However, there was a twist. These new generation kids didn't know that their past were already inter-related even before they were born.
Reading the title, I really thought this was one of those cute Korean stories that I've seen involving a man and a woman falling in love with each other. But it was so different.
It doesn't only tell about love but it also tells about the art of holding onto the love even though one knows that it won't work.
Having lost the one you love in the past doesn't mean you will lose him forever. Destiny may not bring you together with the person you love but that same destiny will find a way to connect the love which was lost through other people.
In this story, Ji Hae's mom fell deeply in love with Sang Min's father even though she was engaged with Ji Hae's dad. Together, they struggled to keep their love alive but fate really brought them apart.
Ji Hae and Sang Min fell in love with each other not knowing their past connection; not until ji Hae discovered a diary written by Sang Min's dad. The diary contained all of the happy and sad memories Joo Hee had with her beloved until time came that they were permanently broken apart.
This story of destiny was really touching. Indeed I call it a LOVE MASTERPIECE. Together with the drama they portray, in real life, these people have their own dramas in life which will touch and insipire people's lives.
So as I say, LOVE could be as enlightening as fireflies freely wandering through the night. And love could be as deep as the river flowing endlessly on its basin. Because love, love is everlasting and will continue on until the next life.
My certified new FAVORITE MOVIE! =]

Hyun Bin - Kang Jae GyungLee Yeon Hee - Choi Eun Hwan
Ok, so a lot of you may comment that I'm too late in watching this movie lol! But what can I do, I felt so stupid for not watching this earlier.
Ok, so let's get going! At first, I never thought that this movie would end up the way it did! I watched the movie without reading the synopsis. All I knew was that this millionaire should give up his carefree life in Seoul and should graduate high school in a province in able to inherit his grandpa's riches.
This movie was so funny at the beginning, showing how much Kang Jae Gyung and Choi Eun Hwan despised each other, fighting here and there and for nonsense reasons. But I was surprise at how heartbreaking this turned out!
The plot was kind of common, but what made this movie extraordinary was the way they changed the attitudes of the characters in this movie.
Jae Gyung, being very arrogant and a spoiled rich brat turned out to be the sweetest guy on earth and Eun Hwan, being the friendliest in her village turned out being the one who was most desperate for love.
Hearts were broken but lives were replenished in this movie. No matter how love would hurt you, your willingness to accept what is in fate for you will keep you happy for the rest of your life even without the presence of the one you truly loved.
Indeed love changes everything. It can change attitudes, it can change one's outlook in life and most importantly, it can 100% change a person's life no matter how much he lived in his stereotyped world.
Hyun Bin is just a superb actor! From his series Snow Queen, I've been tracking about his acting since then and I wasn't really mistaken when I said that I salute him and his acting. Because he definitely showed in this movie the ways to break up the hearts of viewers at the same time, mend their pain.
Kudos to Lee Yeon Hee too, for being such a baby! I really love the way she brought her character as if saying that, "I'm a very nice person". the way she talked and moved, you'll really feel a lot for Eun Hwan!
Ok, so tears stopped flowing now! It's over! lol!
I defo love this movie! =]
