4. The Berlin File
5. Cold Eyes

1. Ahjussi (a man from nowhere)
2. A Barefoot Dream

3. A Werewolf Boy
4. Mr Idol
Online:

2. Hello Ghost
1. Masquerade
This used to be a box office movie in South Korea I remembered. Telling a story about Joseon era's King who's 'kinda bad' and someday he's being poisoned by one of the concubine. To prevent a mess in the country, the 'right hand' of the King found a man who looks exactly like him to replace the king. Oh ya at first the king use him to replace him while he's visiting that concubine (as I remembered)
And so while playing as a king this guy have to learn all of the king's habit and learn more about the palace. Not only that, he's also being dragged into the political conflict within the palace and also fallen in love with the queen. The ending is quite good, I really like the king's right hand man who is really loyal. As expected from Lee Byung Hyun who plays both of the characters really really well. No wonder this movie becomes a box office movie back then :)
2. Architecture 101
Another box office movie (as they said). The casts are Han Ga In and Suzy. Telling about one man and woman's first love during first year of college, but both never confess because of and other circumstances. In the present they met again, well the woman is the one who act look for him though; and start to look back and remembering their old first love story. Han Ga In is really pretty in here, I like her style as well, hahah. But beside that, nothing's really special for me from this movie. Just a basic romance movie.
3. The Thieves
I remembered really want to watch movie in the cinema but can't, so ended up watched this on the plane but didn't finish it then watch it for the second time til the end on tv at home.
The Thieves is an action movie about thieves, just like its name. It's a kind of serious action movie, with a little bit of romance, but has a lot of twisted inside it. When you watch you just can't predict what's happening and what's going to happen and what's really happening hhaha. Kim Soo Hyun is way too hot as well in this movie
4. The Berlin File
Just watched this one in January. Have heard about it often, yeap another box office movie
Telling a story about South Korean vs North Korean agent or smtg located in Berlin. Don't really watch the movie fully but the ending is sad. Action movie, the story is kinda awesome as well.
5. Cold Eyes
This movie is kinda new as well. Telling a story about Han Hyo Joo who is a newbie as an agent. She has talent, and so she and her team tried to catch a boss of professional group of thieves.
I love this movie, the ending is great as well. The sad moment is when one of the team's member passed away, and when a lot of ppl are hurt because of that bad man. Super worth to watch and recommended!
During summer, Net tv (a local tv channel in indonesia) played a korean movie every saturday and sunday night. Some are really good, just like these ones:
1. Ahjussi (A Man From Nowhere)
Telling about Won Bin who is a professional killer, or a spy I'm not really sure, who suddenly get involved in his neighbor's drug case. He was close with this woman's daughter, because her mother doesn't really care about her. When I watched it, it was nothing special at first, just an action movie (again) but then comes a seen when the girl telling something that's really sad to the guy (Won Bin), then after that this girl is kidnapped by the bad guys who's looking for something from the girl's mother. And so his real side is out to save the girl cause before he just pretending to be a normal guy in the neighborhood
2. A Barefoot Dream
A story about a former Korean soccer coach who went to East Timor to start a business. Then after several things that happened, he ended up trains the boys in there who have talent to play soccer. At first watch this because of the location background and the language which is sometimes similar to my local language, Indonesian. But then, this movie is really good! Love the touching moment when the kids begged him to not to go. This man start with nothing, and keep falling and going up again to bring the kids to the professional field of soccer. A really meaningful movie. Like it when he's talking in bahasa (for a little bit) and he's kinda look like Eunhyuk Super Junior because of the gum smile, hahhhahahaha
In the cinema, I watched:
1. Mr. Go
Another big movie because of Sung Dong Il (esp this movies is out after appa oediga)
But I really want to watch it because I've watched Sung Dong Il's film and drama before appa oediga, therefore I really looking forward for his acting in this movie. It was good, and I bet many many people have watched it or at least know what's the movie about. So, for me, maybe because a lot of people has told me what is the movie about, the scene, the bla bla bla. I don't know, when I watch it I just don't feel really amaze with it. It was good though, esp for the cinematographic effect and Sung Dong Il's acting
2. Secretly Greatly
This one is my favorite movie of all so far. Telling about a north korean soldier who's sent to the south and to disguise in a local neighborhood. Then he met his colleagues, get along with the people around it, til the end is asked to end all of their disguised. I love the movie cause it's unpredictable, has a meaning on it, funny, but still an action movie as well at the same time. The ending again is really sad and also has a switched in the story. Love love love kim soo hyun's acting in here. He's a really brilliant actor seriously!!!!
3. A Werewolf Boy
Another famous movie, but I love Park Bo Young and Song Joong Ki's acting. Especially the scene in the forest when he get to talk for the first time while tearing up, saying "hajima" ("don't go")
The ending is sad as well. A great one, indeed
4. Mr Idol
This movie is quite old, remembered watched this with my sister when we're still in FO madness and since the casts are Park Yejin and Kim Sooro. Making it a must for FO fans to watch this. The story is quite good, I like the songs in it as well. And it has Jay Park and UKiss! A not really serious and famous movie but overall I like it :)
Last these 2 I just watched it few days ago
1. Heavenly Postman
Watch this of course because the one and only Kim Jaejoong!! hahha Overall it's good, not really boring and a happy ending. For those who likes tvxq or jaejoong or jyj. Go watch this one!
2. Hello Ghost
Found the review for this movie is quite good then try to watch it. It's funny, Cha Tae Hyun is doing great as well, but I don't feel anything until 90% of this movie. Then, when it comes to the ending. Dash! All of my perception changed in a second because of a big switch and revelation in the story. And it was really sad for God's sake!!!!!!! All of the scene that I thought is not really important is revealed to be in there because of a very good important meaning. This movie is sooo good! Tell us about the love of parent and family. Super recommended
Next, I also have favorite actors and actress. My fav actors are Ji Sung and Kim Soo Hyun
1. Ji Sung
First time watched him in 'new heart', a medical drama. And then also seeing him in 'protect the boss', 'secret', and 'my ps partner'. His acting was soooo great. Thumbs up!!!
2. Kim Soo Hyun
Liking him because of Secreatly Greatly, hahah but then seeing all of his works as well, 'dream high', 'the moon that embrace the sun', 'the thieves' and 'you who came from the stars'. And yeah super amaze because of his acting skill. Simply great
Actrees: Jun Ji Hyun
Just noticed her really recently, while looking at her biography and find out that many of my fav movies are played by her! yeap she played in 'my sassy girl', 'daisy', 'the thieves,' and last 'the berlin file'
I like these 3 of them because of their skill (beside the face for soo hyun and ji sung, hahah) and because of their play in each role that are totally different. Looking at jisung, ji hyun and soo hyun. They don't play a lot but in each they've successfully built and lived that character and each characters are different from prev ones. I know some actors and actresses like Lee Min Ho, Park Min Young, Shin She Kyung, Park Shin Hye. Their acting are cool as well but keep repeating the same or similar character in each film. That's why I really like these 3 people and bring it as my favorite
Nowadays I'm watching 'Emergency Couple'. I don't watch dramas, I even have never watched a drama from the beginning til the end fully. But because of this is Song Ji Hyo, I tried to watch and it turns out to be a good one. Her acting is really good and I like her character who plays a woman who tried to prove herself that she can be a successful person as well. Kinda feel irritated because of the antagonist play though but still I'll keep watching cause this drama gives some meaning as well, not just a cheesy one.
I super like Dr Kook Cheon Soo as well, a super handsome, cool, smart and kind hearted doctor. Woot! I real hope she'll end up with Jihyo somehow :) lol
That's all for now
ps: it's february alr ppl!!! XD
best regards,
