k-drama 9 - protect the boss

Protect The Boss

Total episodes: 18

I find this new k-drama hilarious and I never had a dull moment, so far. Totally enjoy watching it as it is quite different from other k-dramas that I've watched. Of course, there are also two hot guys in the drama to drool over with. Hahah. Okay, it is still about romance and wealth, but the story line is far more interesting and funnier than others, which makes it more addictive.


Noh Eun Seol (Choi Kang Hee) is the woman! With a little knowledge of martial arts and an extraordinary strength, Eun Seol is able to kick asses without difficulty. However, this capability of hers could not help her in finding a job.

After going through a number of interviews, Eun Seol finally gets a job as a professional secretary, which is also her dream job as an office woman. Eun Seol is very grateful for being hired by Cha Mon Won (Hero) but her boss, Cha Ji Heon (Ji Sung) constantly gives her a hard time. As time passes by, Eun Seol finds herself falling for Ji Heon. However, she couldn't accept him as she knows her position as a secretary and it is her job to assist her rebellious boss and not falling in love with him.

Ji Sung as Eun Seol's boss, Cha Ji Heon. Ji Heon is the stubborn heir of a chaebol family. His attitude may be child-like, but he is an intelligent guy who knows what he is doing. Ji Heon is very concern with hygiene and easily gets dizzy in big crowds. He's aware of his condition but somehow couldn't deal with it until Eun Seol gives him a hand to overcome it. Ji Heon also constantly express his love towards Eun Seol and tries hard to win her heart. He gets really jealous when Moo Won asks Eun Seol out.

Ji Sung is so adorable in this drama! He's role is totally different from the one in Royal Family, and I prefer the cute Ji Sung more!

Hero as Cha Moo Won, the "prince of the business world". Moo Won is Ji Heon's cousin. They often quarrel over business and women. They tend to fall for the same woman, first it was Na Yoon (Wang Ji Hye) then Eun Seol. Moo Won is also a mummy's boy, his mother frequently argues with his uncle, whom is also the chairman and Ji Heon's old man.

This is also Hero's first drama, which I think he did a pretty good job in his role as the charming prince which everyone adores.


Seo Na Yoon (Wang Ji Hye) is the pretty one with money and high education. She is Ji Heon's ex-girlfriend and Moo Won's ex-love interest. For the first time, I enjoy the third party's existence. Na Yoon's totally NOT a bitch. Why did I say so? Most of the time, the third party tends to be the irritating and annoying bitch that tries to break up the couple with dirty tactics and what not, but Na Yoon doesn't and never will try the ugly intentions or tricks because of her personality. She may dislike Eun Seol but she did not find fault on her as she knows that it's her fault for dumping both Ji Heon and Moo Won at the first place. Although she still cares for Ji Heon, she lets him go as she knows that she has no chance to gain him back.

Na Yoon cries easily, which I think it is funny when she cries. Hahah. Not that I'm heartless or anything, but it's really hilarious when she cries over little things.

I hope this two will be together in the drama and not as "good friends".

The funny cousins.

It's hard to not fall for a hot guy with suits, right?

k-drama 8 - lie to me

Lie To Me
Total episodes: 16
(currently airing)

Yoon Eun Hye plays Gong Ah Jung, an official of Korea's Ministry of Culture who is in her late 20's but still single while her friends are married.

Due to the constant pressure from her "bestfriend", Soo Ran (Hong Soo Hyun), Ah Jung lied about being married. This "announcement" is huge as Ah Jung has not once reveal about her "husband" to any of her friends. Soo Ran doubted it as she firmly believes that Ah Jung is still love with her husband, Jae Boem (Rye Seong Soo).

At the same time, Ah Jung met World Hotel's CEO, Ki Joon, and the rumour of them secretly married starts to spread. Things become complicated when Ki Joon's ex-fiancee returns to Korea unexpectedly after 3 years and Ah Jung has fall in love with Ki Joon.

I think Ah Jung is quite pity as she was betrayed by her bestfriend. After she gets over with Jae Boem, she can't help but falls for a guy who has a lover, this makes a love triangle. Is it a trend for 3 people to have some sort of romantic relationship in Korea? Because most of the k-dramas have this similar love triangle concept, and yet, people like me still like to watch them. :P

Hyun Ki Joon (Kang Ji Hwan) is Ah Jung's fake husband. He has the whole package - wealth, looks, and better yet, a caring person. After his parents died in an accident, he is left with his aunt and a younger brother, Sang Hee (Sung Joon). He cares deeply for his brother, that is why he decided to call off his own wedding with Yun Joo (Jo Yun Hie) as he knows that Sang Hee is also in love with her.

Ki Joon always handle things well, but not in relationships. He struggled at first as he doesn't really know what to do with Ah Jung and Yun Hie. Ki Joon then decided to be with Ah Jung, but he is also concern about Yun Joo's feelings. wtf?

Some fans may like Ji Hwan's character, but I think he's a total bad ass. I couldn't understand how he could falls for someone in such a short time while still n love with another girl who was his wife-to-be??? Alright, maybe he has been apart with Yun Joo for a few years, but if he really loves her, he shouldn't be attracted to Ah Jung at the first place and make things complicated!

Yun Joo is one lucky girl I guess as she is loved by two wealthy brothers. But too bad for her when she was dumped by Ki Joon not once, but TWICE! I think she's better off without Ki Joon and goes for the younger brother who is still madly in love with her no matter what happens.


Unlike his older brother, Sang Hee is more of a carefree person. He often hangs around with Ah Jung and helps her in many ways. He seems to be lost as he doesn't really know what to do with his life. He has like, no goals or whatsoever. Yeah, Sang Hee and Yun Joo look more like a couple.

Park Hoon, Ki Joon's super cute secretary. Hahah

The Cola Kiss! Geez, Ki Joon, faster settle your relationship with Yun Joo and be with Ah Jung already!

k-drama 7 - baby-faced beauty

49 Days ended just last week. I'm quite disappointed that they "killed" Ji Hyun and the scheduler! I thought it would be a happy ending since Ji Hyun was able to collect 3 drops of tears in the end. Poor Hang Kang who loses Ji Hyun all over again. I also dislike the part where they suddenly stated that Yi Kyung as Ji Hyun's older sister. What? They didn't even give the audience a slightest hint before that! And they left Hang Kang and Yi Kyung as good friends. The ending was so unexpected.

Baby-faced Beauty
currently airing

Glad to see Jang Na Ra is back for another KBS drama! It's been awhile since her last KBS drama, Wedding, starred Ryu Si Won (ahhh, heart melts).

Baby-faced Beauty is like specially tailored for Na Ra because its about a baby-faced woman.

Na Ra plays a 34 years-old fashion designer wannabe, Lee So Young. She has been working her ass of for years in order to achieve her dream - designing clothes that makes her customers happy. However, she was kicked off by her previous company before she gets to do it. Because of her age and low education qualification, she couldn't find a proper job to pay off her family debts. Her only advantage is her youthful look.

So Young has no choice but to disguised as her 25 years-old sister, So Jin (Oh Yeon Seo) to get a position in The Style. Since then, she lives in a fearful life in The Style because of her big fat lie.

Besides that, for a woman who hasn't been in a relationship before, So Young gets along well with men. She gets not one, but two hunky men to fall for her.

I think So Young is a little too modest. She's like always looking at her toes where ever she goes. Okay, maybe because of her saddled life and what not, but I think she, as a future designer or so should have some confidence in herself.

Daniel Choi the hunky number 1 in Baby-faced Beauty!

He plays The Style's MD, Choi Jin Wook who came from a wealthy family, but he left his home as he has a disagreement with his father. He has no goals before he met So Young, who is older than him.

Jin Wook has a crush with his junior, Yun Seo who recently returns to Korea and then works in the same company as him. However, he slowly develops feelings for So Young after hanging out with her frequently. He helps her in many ways so So Young could achieve her dream. Jin Wook doesn't know So Young's real age yet though.


Ji Seong Il (Ryu Jin) is the president of The Style. His employees are all afraid of him as he is being referred as a mean and strict boss. He has a young daughter from his previous marriage.

He is close with Yun Seo and it is rumored that they are getting married. However, Seong Il starts to find So Young unique and has a pleasant feeling for her as she also makes his daughter happy. This is where things get complicated among the four main characters.

I bet everyone dislikes Kang Yun Seo (Kim Min Seo). She is So Young's new designer team leader who totally hates So Young's guts. This is because she finds So Young's a threat to her career and love. Things get worse when she finds out about So Young's true age and tries to reveal it to everyone.


Ji Joon Hee (Hyun Young) is a minor character in Baby-faced Beauty. But I'm totally fond of her! I finds her personality funny and interesting.

Joon Hee is Seong Il's younger sister. She's also So Young best girlfriend.

It's so nice if they become a couple in the drama! They would make a fun couple. Come on, Jin Wook, give your best shot!

Jin Wook and So Young?

OR

Seong Il and So Young?

I feel that So Young's pretty tense around Seong Il. Well, of course she would be, she's carrying around her white lie with her and fears of getting fired by him!

Love Daniel's many funny expressions in the drama!

Seong Il's daughter, so cute! She's pretty mature for her age.

Is that bitch supposed to be in between them too?

Another sappy story about love and friendship...

Thorn Birds

Han Hye Jin of King of Baking: Kim Tak Goo.

Thorn Birds is a sad, pitiful and tragic k-drama. It's about two best girlfriends who go separate ways in order to achieve their goals. As usual, one of them is the bitch, guess who? This drama is totally cliche, the story is just too easy to read.

Han Hye Jin plays the good-hearted Seo Jung Eun. Her objective is to become a famous actress so she could find her biological mother. Jung Eun's best friend from childhood is Yu Kyung. She helps Yu Kyung unconditionally and treats her well although Yu Kyung always disappoints her. Jung Eun also has a crush on Young Jo.

The drama's villain, Han Yu Kyung is played by Kim Min Jung. You'll definitely feel like kicking her ass in the drama. The value of friendship isn't in her. She betrays and exploits Jung Eun in order to get what she wants. Yu Kyung leads a sad life. She's resented by her famous birth mother since young. Not only that, she gave birth to a child with the man she then hates.

Look at this:

The famous Hong Kong TVB actor, Gallen Lo.

Now this:

Joo Sang Wook of Thorn Birds.

Don't they look alike??? They are like 85% similar!! Except for their age difference though. Haha.

PD Lee Young Jo (Joo Sang Wook) is the son of a wealth family. He was devastated when he found out about his birth mother who resented him. Young Jo cares for both Jung Eun and Yu Kyung. He and Yu Kyung became a couple during the first few episodes. However, Yu Kyung dumps him after she realized that his father and grandfather are the real enemies.

Wheeee. The hot guy from Spring Waltz! Seo Do Yeong plays the another rich hunk, Choi Kang Woo who adores Jung Eun. Howcome the guys always have to be the wealthy ones whereas the ladies get the pity poor characters??? Is this a tradition or smth? Urghhh.

The perfect couple...I hope.

The wicked bitch seduced Jung Eun's oppa.

As he is the best of the best in his law school, he is hired as the representative of a huge company. At the same time, he is slipping away from his long-term girlfriend, Lee Jung Yun because of his greediness.

Lee Min Jung of Boys Over Flowers!!! Pretty Min Jung plays Do Hyun's fiance, Jung Yun. However, she cuts off the relationship as soon as she realized Do Hyun's transformation. She could not believe how much he has changed for power and wealth. Jung Yun works as a nurse in a hospital, where she is then "promoted" to serve the VIP patients. She met Myung Joon in the VIP wing and decided to start a relationship with him as a revenge to Do Hyun. Yayyyy! Jung Yun and Do Hyun don't even look like a couple, he looks more like a brother to Jung Yun.

Yoon In Hye (Kim Hee Ae) is the eldest daughter of a rich family. She has two older brothers, a young brother, and a young sister. They are from different mothers. The siblings have only one thing in common - lack of love from their father. In Hye is a powerful woman in the business world who gets everything she wants. Her target now is to take over her father's company, with the help of Do Hyun. In Hye is a total bitch who's responsible for Do Hyun's and Jung Yun's breakup. But thanks to her, there's a chance for the relationship between Jung Yun and Myung Joon to blossom. Argghhh..why their names sounds so similar?!



I assume this is everyone's favorite character in Midas - Yoon Myung Joon (Noh Min Woo of My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox). Totally H.O.T. Too bad he's a playboy in this drama, but his attitude changes when he met Jung Yun. Myung Joon is also from the Yoo family, which means he is rich and everything. However, his father despised him for some reasons. Oh yea, this hot guy has cancer. :(

This is how you define hot...?
