4 Horror Tales - February 29

Park Eun Hye - Han Ji Hyun

February 29 is part one of 4 Horror Tales and this is another confusing horror film by the Korean Entertainment.

The story revolves around a toll gate personnel Han Ji Hyun whom we can frist see in the beginning of the movie as a mental hospital patient.

She tells a news reporter about her death-defying days when she believed that there was a curse by the toll-gates where klilling every 29th of February happens.

There a series of twists in this movie where one was we can see that so-called "ghost" walking around in exactly the same clothes that Ji Hyun was wearing at that same day making her friends mistake it as her.

But as the story went on, you'll soon realize that Ji Hyun has been telling stories that she herself has believed to be true. Indeed, having believed to have a bad trauma of the dark, she developed mental problems and all the ghostly appearances that she experienced while she was still senile were merely due to her fear of the dark.

But in the end, there was a more shocking discovery about Ji Hyun thatwill definitely tell the viewers that indeed, this is not just some horror movie. =]

Thank You - Jang Hyuk & Gong Hyo Jin

Jang Hyuk - Min Gi Suh
Gong Hyo Jin - Lee Young Shin
Seo Shin Ae - Lee Bom
Shin Sung Rok - Choi Suk Hyun

I never thought that I would cry so hard again after shedding a lot of tears for Snow Queen until I was able to watch this higest-rated series in Korea, beating up Witch Yoo Hee and The Devil of the rival Korean Entertainment stations.

Thank You indeed was a very unique love story between a kind and simple woman and an arrogant doctor. The conflict the occurred in this series wasn't like the any other typical series because here, our main character Lee Young Shin has to live her life with two dependent people; her grandpa with dementia and her daughter who acquired AIDS through a blood trasfusion when she was younger.

Aside from these dependent characters came Young Shin's ex-boyfriend and Bom's father Choi Suk Hyun rivalring against the doctor Min Gi Suh who came to take care of Young Shin's family after finding out that his girlfriend who eventually died of cancer was the doctor who made the greatest mistake about the blood trasfusion.

This unique and touching story shows how simple people can become someone else's miracle as Young Shin and Bom made the arrogant and bastard Min Gi Suh into a total guardian angel who promised to take care of their family until the day of his death.

I cried so much watching this series and I really don't have any objections on why it became the higest-rated series in Korea when it was aired. Just like what Min Gi Suh said, "Young Shin and Bom are my miracles," this series was indeed a miracle itself opening our closed minds to the realities and life and how to simply be thankful even with just a piece of choco-pie.

Yes, this series made me love choco-pies so much that whenever I go to a supermarket, I would definitely make sure that I can grab one before going to the counter. Because just like the choco-pie, Thank You made me realize the possibilities in ones life and definitely made me smile. =]

Hello! Miss - Lee Ji Hoon & Lee Da Hae

Lee Ji Hoon - Hwang Dong Gyu
Lee Da Hae - Lee Su Ha
Ha Suk Jin - Hwang Chan Min
Yun Mi So - Suh Hwa Ran
Ryan - Lee Jun Young

For all of the series that I've seen, Never have I imagined that there would be a series where the confession of feelings happened in the earliest episodes.

Yes indeed, Hwang Dong Gyu confessed his live for Lee Su Ha at episode 3 which shocked me at the most and I was like, "What about the upcoming episodes then? What will happen?"

I was expecting it to be a lottle bit boring in the next episodes because of the early confession but I didn't put in mind that here, there were at least two uncompetitive villains who will try to ruin the relationship unfolding between our two main characters as well as the historical property that one of them was protecting.

It may look like a typical romantic-comedy series to you but unlike those typical ones where boy meets girl, boy argues with girl, girl falls in loe, boy realizes, this on'e completely different for both the characters Dong Gyu and Su Ha were up struggling against inner emotions and responsibilities.

But then, lights have turned on in Su Ha and Dong Gyu's life catwalk and they were finally able to ramp down the platform, showing other that indeed, love doesn't choose status, ownership and love could definitely disregard the untimely happenings in the past. =]
