Korean movie review

Hi there again everyone. Here comes my post to review some Korean movies that I've watched. Those really good ones for me :) enjoy!

First of all, I watched these movies in the cinema, on the plane, on tv back home, or online. So to make it easier for me, I'm gonna classified it into where I watched it, hahah

On the plane:
1. Masquerade
2. Architecture 101
3. The Thieves
4. The Berlin File
5. Cold Eyes


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

In the cinema:
1. Mr. Go
2. Secretly Greatly
3. A Werewolf Boy
4. Mr Idol

Online:
1. Heaven's postman
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,

january 2014


Made this video few days ago while I was bored at lecture. Yeap found a new way to sum up my holiday, hahah, I made this in less than 2 minutes, so fast and simple, made through the blackberry z10. Some photos are taken during this december christmas break in Jakarta and Singapore, while some are just a real old one.

So, it's end of january is here. Tmrw is friday of week 12. This term could be real hectic I recogn. Going to have 2 econ tests, while the first one is right on tmrw. Msci 110 & 102 as well, have to make reports and have a little test. Have to work as a group for primary research, report, and presentation for mngt 120, going to present it at w. 22 / w. 23. Right after easter break!

Some results are out, but the mngt essay result is not out yet, it will by next week, hope I'm still doing well :(
Last holiday was real real exciting, much better than I ever expected. I guess my christmas gift this year is, I get the true meaning by experiencing of a sentence called 'when you give, you shall receive'. While in Jakarta Ci Evelyn drives us for the whole month, we went to muara karang for breakfast in the morning, hang out in the mall on the day and went to pik to have dinner! She's the one who drives all the day, and she's even the one who sent me to the airport. Had such great great days, just such a pity chika wasn't there with us.

In April I'm going to have a break again, easter break. As being scheduled, I'm going back to indo then on the 7th I'm going to Australia with mom to visit chika!!!!!! yey
We're going to visit Sydney, Gold Coast, and last Adelaide. Have made some plans, going to Sydney Taronga zoo, Darling Harbour, Opera House, museums. In GC going to go to some hip places that Ci Evelyn told us, and visit the sea world as well, last going to Adelaide where chika is currently living in, then going back to Sydney to catch the flight back to Jakarta on the 18th.

A week later on the 25th I'll go back to Manchester. This time I'm not flying with emirates. Book a KLM airline ticket and gonna have a stopover at Schipol, KL airport, and Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport. Sounds exciting? it is for me. Wanna try a new environment and new flying experience.

A lot of things are going to happen this year, can't wait to sum it up when we're coming to the end of it. Unknowingly now it's coming to my 2nd year of living in Lancaster, time flies, right? 2 years lett, then I'm gonna leave this place.

Still have to study more and more, harder and harder. Encountered many many different feelings in the last few days. Drain, worried, happy, sad, blue, excited, delightful, etc.

Well, gonna live this next 2 months or 8 weeks very very lively. Have to apply for australian tourist visa (*fingercrossed), extent my passport if possible, study study and study, to achieve good score.
Then come the easter break, after it ends, coming to w.22-w.25. Presentation, then final summer exam! After that ended, traveling, moving out, and going back home, and voila! year 1 is done in a blink of eye. I hope I'll do well as well as how I could say and write and right now. Hope my score is fine.. real real hope so.
Still continuing, after that, going back to Jakarta for summer, waving good bye to some indo ppl (I dislike this), lebaran holiday, moving out from my current house in Jakarta, then, going back to the UK in october, meeting new indo ppl, studying new subjects, and so on and so on. Then december again!!!! hahahahahahaha

Time can really flies nowadays, day by day just pass even we like it and want it or not,
So the above are my plan, let's see what's happening and not happening in the future later.
Now, it's time for me to walk faster, to aim higher, to do better and to work harder.

Same for you guys as well I recogn,

anyway have a great days ahead ppl, hope you're doing well, better than I.

"we are often troubled, but not crushed; 
sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; 
there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; 
and through badly hurt times, we are not destroyed"
-Corinthians 4:8-9

new year's eve 2013

Hello everyone! Yes today is December 31st 2013. The last day of the year! I'm currently lying on my bed right now, in my room in Jakarta, listening to the loud fireworks from both right and left side of my house, non stop since 9pm. Yeap it's new year's eve, and because my house is located kinda in the central of Jakarta, monas and thamrin is nearby, central park mall is as well, also ancol and other places who provide magnificent firework show. Plus some neighbours who are also celebrating. It's so noisy, that's why I can't fall asleep til now. And this is not the first time, I remembered clearly that this is just the same as last year. When I was lying on my bed since half past eight but ended up fell asleep after twelve when it's all has come to the end.

Why am I in jakarta? Yeap as usual I'm going back home this christmas. How's my christmas celebration? Well it's so simple, nothing special, on christmas day me and family simply go to PI to buy mom's winter coat then go home and at night we send mom to the airport cause she's going to HK at midnight.
However,different from my simple christmas, christmas eve in jakarta was being celebrated in a real great way here, I just noticed. Most of the ppl around me are having great dinner, the traffic is depressing, as always, ppl are saying merry christmas at midnight, not on the day. When I went out in the morning of 25th the streets are empty, every are still silently asleep or staying at their house. The worship are mainly done on the christmas eve as well. Don't know if this is the first time that we- or our culture has switched to celebrate mainly on the night. Or it's just me who just notice it
Talking about christmas, of course it's the happiest time of the year for me! Hehe not only as a Christian, but maybe since I live in the UK, or this year, cause in there, it's their biggest day, not in a religious way but in a cultural way. It's their biggest event, like Lebaran in Indonesia. What I like about christmas in western countries is how we take it as a moment to share joy, exchanging gifts with the lovelies and reunited with fam to have a simple christmas dinner at our own house.
Also when during december the streets are being decorated in a very beautiful way, and on the weekend people are out to the shops to buy christmas gifts. queueing in the card shop to buy a single christmas card or with another christmas accessories. Yes that's what I like from christmas in the uk. The culture of giving, celebrating not in religious way but because it's their culture, where all bus and trains are in shutdown on the 25th and 26.
Different with in indonesia, where almost everything is open during christmas eve, the 25th and 26th. Ppl prefer to go to malls and restaurants rather than having dinner at home. When malls are competing to have the prettiest and the most unique christmas tree, rather than decorating the streets it self. No giving presents, and as wev
know. Not everyone are celebrating it in here.  Yeap there are many differences. As a big event, christmas is being celebrated in different ways in the world as the culture goes. The difference in my country is, christmas is a religious event, only Christians celebrate it, other ppl only take it as a national holiday. While in western countries, they are neither Christian or have a religion. But they all celebrate it as one cause it's a culture for them.
Another thing I love from christmas, the end of week 10 when almost everyone are going back home or going on a trip!
In the last one week before going back to jkt, everytime I meet ppl we're exchanging christmas greet, and new year greet. (cause we know that maybe we won't happen to meet again on the day) asking where are u going during the break, saying have a great trip, have a great holiday at home, and safe flight. Yes that simple words do mean a lot to me. I love those days. When the joy of christmas break is there.

Next after christmas, mostly spend my time to be at home, watching dvds, Thor 2 and Ironman 3. Ah these movies are so good, ahahaha. And hanging out with sister and dad only since mom is not here. More quality time with dad. And here comes the new years eve. Went to emporium pluit in the evening. Dinner at xo suki. Went to bookshop to buy a novel then bought a cup of bubble tea. Finally! Hehe, then, going back home

But what I notice again is again the crowd of this city that is so alive. On the way home the road are so packed of ppl riding motorcycle going to ancol or monas idk, to celebrate!

On gajah mada and hayam wuruk street lots of ppl are walking to monas since the governor hold a big new year event in there. Fireworks are everywhere, restaurants are all fully booked and reserved, in monas ppl are gathering, being entertained while waiting for the countdown, some are in the mall, some are working, some are staying at home, some are having a party or a gathering, some are lighting the fireworks. Yeap everyone are having different activities in this one city.
This is only jakarta, imagine other big cities, hong kong, new york, sydney, london and edinburgh. In the big cities ppl are celebrating and gathering. But in some city like my sister's in Adelaide. She simply have a beauty sleep in silent cause she's gonna work again tmrw morning. Yeap it's new year. The biggest event for everyone, cause it's nor cultural or religious event. It's an universal event. No matter how you celebrate it. The time is still ticking, new year is here. 1st of january, here we meet again, counting up from jan to feb to march to april and so on. Time flies, there are times to celebrate, there are times to mourn. There a re good times there are bad times. But anyway, again no matter how and with who and in which situations  u are now in to celebrate this night. Just be glad for this night, take your time to look down, take a rest for a while if u keep looking up during the last one year.

Just be glad that another year has passed. I know some friends are celebrating in a loneliness, far from family and close friends, maybe? I know that feeling, but once again, don't be sad just be glad. It's a good night to look back and be grateful for what we've achieved til now
 Look back to appreciate what God's given to us this year. Don't hold you sadness or madness for too long. Cheer up and go entertain yourself to make the night. Only your ownselves who can make you feel happy. So choose to be happy

Time to say goodbye to 2013. Wishing you all many blessing and happiness in the upcoming years. Yeap, happy new year people!!!!!


Best regards,

Just a bit about tvxq. At first I don't believe yoosu is real, but after seeing more and more vids, I could see, yap they're real. Like I said, believe it or not Yoochun is always the one who react the fastest towards junsu's everything. Love seeing how junsu is always being bullied since tvxq time even until jyj. Never feel tired seeing them acting like that, cause of junsu's reaction as well. He's really pure, even   become cuter from his hyung's action (I love when he's laughing, eu kyang kyang when jaechun were bad mouthing him, and always say KIM JUNSU FIGHTING by himself, lol) Oh junsu, he's so handsome, has great vocal, very good dancer, a good energy on stage, cute, humble, kind, innocent, good football player, silly, and rich. Oh any other man that's like him??!! hahahah will always madly in love with jyj n tvxq :)

But here, look at the positive side as well. Many ppl still appreciate your other comments. Just a self note, lesson, and encouragement from prev. experience  haahahahha

Home Made Student Food

Hello again ppl. It's Nov 2nd alr. Time flies ikr, new year is coming! Been a month since I'm back in the UK, it's the end of week 4 today. Just wanna share pics of my self made food, hahahahaha sorry for bad quality pictures. I'm not good at taking photo and neither my phone's camera as as well. And, just can't wait to eat after suffering hunger while cooking so I just took a quick shoot, lol
Well, here are the food:

 Telor goreng buncis (bean fried egg) w/ buttery bread. Easy deasy and quick to be made. Use 2 eggs, enough for a person's lunch

 one of the best dish I have ever made, lol broccoli with shrimp and mushroom. I use black sauce. Deliciousss :)

 brocoli shrimp fried rice!! Made this to finish leftover rice. I put cheese at the end to make it stretchy (?) And I put sambel terasi as well to make it a lil bit spicy

 Rice with herbs cheese baked salmon and broccoli. First time bought and cooked salmon. Just randomly add garlic, green onion, onion, olive oil, butter salt and pepper into the salmon to get rid of the smell and then bake it in the oven. And, done!!! easy...

 my fav easiest dish, mushroom fried egg with rice. Like I said earlier, easy, quick, delicious, egg is just great

 another random dish and a kinda fail one lol. Chicken with carrot and black sauce. Turns out to be so ugly lol. I bake the bread with mozzarella cheese as well

 onion chicken pasta. So easy, just stir fry garlic and onion, chicken, then pasta and cheese. Kinda cheesy and oily

 another egg and lontong

 onion tomato and mince beef pasta. another easy random stuff :P

 I cocked the chick and broccoli with gochujang this time. That's why it's red

 apple, banana, and chocolate & white chocolate mouse

herbs and cheese salmon baked, broccoli, and mozzarella bread

 I take the leftover salmon from ytd's bake act for this one. Just friend it with onion, salmon and then randomly gojuchang in the emergency lol (ikr it's weird) than add pasta, and cheese. Tara, done!

Basic typical meat-veg dishes. Broccoli with mince beef. But I add some mozzarella cheese at the end to make it more.... em I don't know how to say it lol (act just wanna finish all my cheese) 

 I made this in the morning when I have to eat smth, open my fridge and found carrot, bean, and chicken. So just boil the veggies, stir fry garlic and onion, add chicken, put vegs, add black sauce and sweet soy sauce. So random. (I don't like veggies that's why I don't like this one) lol


 cheese cake!!!! only 1 bucks (pound) for a small round  at Iceland. So cheap. Well it's not really cheese cake though, but the base is crumble. Which is good and bad at the same time. Good cause it taste so good, bad because it has sooo many sugar in the crumble hahaaha. But overall though it's not a real cheese cake, I still love it to fulfill my craving for sweets in a very friendly price
A kind of fail ddeokbukki, lol, but it turns out not to be that failed though at the end :p act I ate ddeokbukki for the first time when Kak Qisha made it for us. Then she gave her leftover rice cake and the sauce for me, tried to make it but turns out to be too watery :( that's why I said it's failed lol, but I manage to drop out some water then add extra gochujang for thicker sauce. Turns out to be not so bad :p but not good enough



As can be seen my food are really sloppy :p I just eat what I feel like want to. Wanna eat sweet, have cake, pancake. A day after I could suddenly feel like eating chips, beef or anything, just randomly.
That's why different from last year my freezer is kinda full this term. Don't know why my appetite is increasing like crazy this month!
And moreover, mostly I just add everything to finish some something usually lol, like the carrot and cabbage, I made ddeokbukki and soup to finish it. And the cheese, bought a bag of cheese so just add it to every dishes lol. Some food as well, just add anything sloppily, cause it's only me who'll eat it so, I just make it randomly

From the photos I could conclude my ingredients of the month: onion, green onion, broccoli. I eat broccoli for like 3 weeks in this month. And I surely add onion and green onion into my every dishes.

You know I just tried to make any kind of things that I'm currently craving for: ddeokbukki, curry, sushi, kolak. Even though I'm not a good cooker (yes I know it) but just tried and eat my kinda fail one (like ddeokbukki) to simply fulfill my craving, lol
Don't ask me why don't u just buy it? Yes I'll just buy if I was in Jakarta or the other city other than Lancaster. But, this is Lancaster baby, the only things you can enjoy without cooking is just.... kebab, fried chicken, greggs pasty, subway, burger, and yes. What can I expect from here? Even if Lancaster has it, I have to go down to city centre. Blah, that's why just experiencing everything, lol

Still have lists of food to be made next:
sushi (just a really basic one)
chicken soup
chicken curry with santan
pengat pisang (kolak)
Nasi uduk
salmon curry
super spicy fried rice
french toast
Food above are my food for this week. Will upload better food next month! I promise, lol


Have a great weekend ppl,

cheers from the cold alr Lancaster
