The One and Only

Toyota Camry 2012


Today, I got this car! I would never have imagined to get this car. This is a very surreal moment...i'm still in a daze. lol.
I've watched this ad at least six times a day, every day for a month..so I've basically have this imbedded in my brain. [I watched enough Korean dramas on Hulu...and that website played this ad ever since Lee Min Ho started making it] 
This is a very memorating event for me. It's the first time I've co-signed an ownership of a car. Honestly, I didn't want to be the co-owner but things turned out this way. I don't really think of this car any more than just a means of transportation...is that so bad? for all you car lovers out there. :P
Nevertheless, the first time I sat in it..I imagined Lee Min Ho driving around and I couldn't resist but to drive it myself. It is a very smooth ride! I refuse to get into the specs of this vehicle because I think you guys can do that by yourself.


Here are pictures from the mini-drama that Lee Min Ho has released.

Other Man: "It's me, you haven't changed your mind, have you?"
Man: "I wish I could get rid of things with no regrets...You should throw this out"
Woman: "Why? You made this for me...
Maybe it's the rain but somehow it tastes better today"

Woman: "I'm okay...those seem to be your favourite words...
The bridge is blocked due to the flood"

Screen: Can't we just start all over again?

Genre: Melodrama, Romance
Actor: Hyun Bin as Ji Seok
Im Soo Jeon as Yeong Sin

This was an amazing movie. Personally, I am a big fan of mundance, psychological movies and this caught my attention, from the start. Also I am big fan of Hyun Bin's work ever since I watched him with Lee Yeon Hee in A Millionaire's First Love. The story is about a 5 year married couple that spent their last day together forced to stay inside their house by a rain storm.

Let me just say...I think I'm in love with the director, Lee Yoon Ki! I love his use of camera, lighting, costume and dialogues that deliver this master piece.

This is not a fast-paste action movie or a comedy, you really have to sit down calmly and watch it with every detail. Every action and expression matters, every angle of the camera matters in showing the hidden meaning. I love this one scene where there is a camera at the top of the staircase and both characters walk the opposite direction. The wife moves up the steps while the husband stays below. Even though they both are walking in the same direction they both are heading into a different path. :) This movie shows the inner tensions between each character as the distance keeps growing but also trying to maintain it. Not to mention, the constant solitary shots of each character beside a rain drop window background...such a melancholy moment! lol

I'm having fun just writing about this. I can watch this movie over and over not get bored :P
Definitely recommend it for those who want to see into the inner functions of the human heart.

Seoul!



Seoul MV
Artist: SNSD and Super Junior
Genre: K-Pop
This is a very adorable music video, the interactions between SNSD and Suju are cute. I thought I'd share it. Every time I am blue it cheers me up. And hopefully someday I get to go to South Korea and explore every corner of it.
I love the sweet interactions between Taeyeon and Siwon and how Leeteuk is helping them. lol the two leaders struggling together is very entertaining.
I especially love Donghae's long hair in this...it makes me remember the times when he kept his hair long. If he styled it a different way then he would look very badass :P

The story with Kyuhyun and Seohyeon is cute! Seohyeon is just too cute in it and Kyuhyun the sly artist. lol it fits him. The confession was very well done :)

Well anyways, enjoy!
