North Korea
The situation in North Korea breaks my heart.
The thing I hate most is when a mind isn't allowed to expand and express.
I know how it feels to be suppressed and to have no rights to have an opinion about certain things so maybe thats why I'm connecting to these stories so much.
If I had the chance, I would help them.
Hopefully, somewhere in the future plan for my life I will get that oppurtunity.
I'll be ready, I'm learning Korean for them.
North Korea... you will be free...

Life Trials
What is drama?
Now we all as human kind have trials, but why are we put through such harsh circumstances? What is the result? Do we become better people because of it? Or on the contrary, we become the opposition the world desires?
Is it merely karma? A belief in which if you yourself bring on sadness to others, will have sadness brought upon you in thay same amount or more?
Or does the world follow the more delicate balance of the yin-yang system? Without light there is no darkness, and without sadness there is no way to attain lightness of life.
Maybe it's God. Depending on the sort of figure you believe in, is he taunting us? Bellowing on his throne of heaven because we are merely survive the blunders he lays upon us? Or is he kind and merciful; with a giving heart? The one who tests us for our worthiness and promises eternal life for those who suffer and yet still believe.
Isn't it interesting how each culture finds different way towards dealing with this in-controllable aspect. Are any of them right? Are any of them wrong? As a society we must fight against those who are different than us, and at what price? We are all just human beings, surviving, hoping, dealing with things we cannot understand in the only ways we know how.
I wish I had all the answers. I wish I had the assurance to know that'll everything will turn out right in the end. That no matter how much suffering there is, there will always be redemption. I think thats up for every individual to decide. What do you believe? If you do not stand for something, you cannot stand for anything. (Quote by some man I do not remember at this moment)

The Lion King
Holy eeffing FUCK Batman!
If you have not seen it, then you should!!
I can't even own up to it in word's just see for yourself...
(If I ever get to see it again, I'm sitting in Orchestra *shakes angry fist at balcony*)
I would show more.. but that'll take away from the experience..
Go and see it live.. it's incredible.
(And lol to Rosie... I loved her when she had her show...)

Human Kind continues to astonish me...
Ok.. so I'm reaaaaaaaaaaally pissed off at the Boys Before Flowers community.
If the subtitles aren't working.. whoopie dee friggen doo... nobody cares, how about if they never sub anything again because of your fucking whining... and then you get to pay for the DVDS when they come out.. how would you like that?
And to all those people who complain that the plot is too predictable, well DUH!! After a manga, an anime, two live action adaptations in TWO fucking different countries!!! Of course its not something original. That is how the story fucking goes!!! We wouldn't be watching it if we didn't like the fucking story in the first place!
I'd just like to see them do something totally out of the story and see all these same people bitch about how they shouldn't have changed the story and how their not staying true to the material. But hey, "Twilight" followed the book, and look how crappy that was.
There's just no pleasing you people is there? I'm just sad how one of my favorite story lines has to be affiliated with these types of trivial, thick- headed, meaningless nobodies. And I only have leave to say this, because they were rude in the first place.
Go watch Sailor Moon for Christ sake, oh but wait; that doesn't follow the storyline either. Guess you just get to be miserable for as long as you choose to be.
I pity you all.

ZHAN SHEN (MARS)
What better than to start off this whole shinanigans then to start with the drama that started me off.
On a pleasantly cool Halloween night I happen to be reading a MARS manga at a friends house after a long labor of trick or treating. She asked what it was about, and as I explained its awesomeness as enthusiatically as a mormon missionary on his first discussion (btw.. not mormon) she said the magical words;
"Wasn't there some TV show like that? But in like some foreign language on cable?"
I stared at her incredulously not wanting to believe it but feeling my chest swell up in excitement.
So all my efforts (and sleep) were donated for the next several days in ordered to find this spectacularly "unreal" rumored show. It was found, I was hooked, and now.. here we go...

Hurriedly HQL drew him a map, unknowing that she was drawing on the back of one of her sketches. She ran off before he could thank her. He then noticed the sketch of a mother holding a baby and was touched. In school HQL was sexually harrassed by a teacher and CL came to her rescue.

REVIEW
This drama is probably one of the most touching dramas out there. Such an odd couple that haelps each other through each of their own breaking points is something we all want. Acting was great all around and who wouldn't want Zai Zai as an all around biking bad boy. :D
I recommend this drama to any and all.
MY RATING
8.5/10
