Snow Queen + others
5:33 AM

finished watching Snow Queen last thursday (as scheduled) and i love it. now for those who don't like sad endings, don't watch this. come to think of it, it's not entirely sad. kind of bittersweet. yeah, that's it. it's not sad, but bittersweet. and as promised, the summary:

Snow Queen (Noon Eui Yeo Wang)

Synopsis: The fairytale Snow Queen tells of the love story of Gertha, Kay and the Snow Queen. In this Korean drama, there is indeed a Gertha, Kay and a Snow Queen. The drama tells the story of a man who lived throughout his young adult life feeling guilty because of a friend who died. He keeps thinking that his friend died because of him. He used to be a math genius until the day his friend died. He then became a boxer, living out his deceased friend's dream to be one. But one day, a girl came and made him realize that he wants to live his life guilt-free and happy. However, the past won't easily let him go and forget everything...

--> hey, i tried making a decent synopsis, one that would most likely make someone want to watch it, but i guess i failed miserably. so here's a decent synopsis from hyunbinchina.com and soompi :


just click on the images for a bigger view, araso? ^_^
(correct me on my use of the word and i swear to god you'll get the death glare)

now for a review... i am in love with this series. i could never regret downloading and watching it. it made me cry, laugh and realize that math is pure genius (ok, that last part was random but true). the last episodes are pure love... if there is someone like Han TaeWoong (played by Hyun Bin) in the world, i'd like to eat his brains. seriously. that guy is genius and romantic... amd Kim Bora (played by Sung YuRi) is so pretty... This is one series where the "other guy" is so nice you want to cuddle him up (referring to cutie doctor guy). And the ending... bittersweet. it is love. Now for some quotes (from soompi):

TaeWoong: lapland...
this is the place youve longed to visit
bora can you see?
can you see me who's here to meet you?

-------------------

student ask tae woong: why do you like math?

tae woong: the reason i like math...
the woman i love asked me the same question.
at that time i told her i liked math coz math always had a solution
now that i think of it . its not important whether or not there is an answer
i like math coz im feel happy and content
im happy not because there is an answer
but because of the process leading to solution
the process itself is happiness to me.

---------------------

bora: oppa
TaeWoong: i...what did i just see?
when i open my eyes again
even if your not there anymore
bora
time will stand still

---------------------

Bora: Why do you like math? Because there is an answer?

Tae Woong: While living life, among many problems that you face, there are many that don't have an answer. So there are many times when I'm frustrated and confused. But in math, there is always an answer. No matter how difficult of a problem, someday it will definitely be solved by someone. It just takes time.

Bora: You're right. It just takes time. Our problem too... it just takes time. Someday, it will definitely be solved.

------------------------

Tae woong: Because of you, I started to dream again. To love, and be loved... Dreaming of living normally, living very normally.

------------------------

Bora and Tae woong's convo about prime numbers:

BoRa: Prime number... I knew it before. What is it again?

TaeWoong: A number that can only be divided by one and itself... that's what a prime number is. It has a lot of pride and... you can think of it as a lonely number.

BoRa: But oppa... the way I see it, prime numbers aren't lonely at all. It has one. If there's only one person in the entire world who can understand you, it's okay. Then you're not lonely at all. Therefore, the one and only divisor that understands me, I hope that it's you.

TaeWoong: Wow, you're amazing, Kim Bo-Ra.

BoRa: Right? I'm amazing, right?

------------------------

Bora's last message to Taewoong

Oppa, when will you hear this message of mine?
Where will I be then?
I... Yes, I... I will probably be in Lapland.
We've made a pact to go there together, but I can't keep my promise. I'm sorry.
But I won't feel guilty.
Because we'll meet again some day.
Also, I want to give you back the words you've said to me.
"Even if you want to dodge your problems, don't close your eyes. Don't run away. And... Live on. It's better to live."



Okay, next up on my to watch list is... Over the Rainbow (because Fin's watching it and it seems nice.. and because i love hwanhee and i think Kim Ok Bin is so pretty). But first, i need to finish the anime Boys Be... and the TW drama Tokyo Juliet. I'm already on episode 8 of Boys Be, there are only 13 episodes. so i guess i'll be able to finish that today. As for Tokyo Juliet, i just finished episode 4. thirteen more episodes to go. I'll probably start with Over the Rainbow by this weekend.

now let's list down my Things To Do list:
  • CassPH new layout
  • update my cd/dvd list
  • finish watching Boys Be...
  • watch at least 2 episodes of Tokyo Juliet
  • update my other blog
  • update myself on DBSK files
  • organize my cds and dvds and collectibles
ok.. i think i can manage those *points above*



i just realized that people are sometimes so selfish. they just think of their own problems, taking for granted that they have it better off than most of us. there are times that i just want to slap them and say: "hey, quit talking. i'm human too and i also have problems. the world doesn't revolve around you alone! now can you please listen to me for once?"

we just talk and talk, believing that the other person will simply listen. what we don't know is they're already fed up with listening, and they need someone to listen to them in return. *sigh* that's why sometimes i go invi on YM. people keep yakking about themselves, they keep forgetting that the other person also has something to say. the sad part is... when that other person attempts to open up, it often goes unnoticed. sad but true.

ok, done reflecting. will post some more when i get the chance.

Sounds: Kelly Clarkson - SInce U've Been Gone
