Goo Hye Sun hopes this face and this hairstyle make her look younger.

Hello. So, I’m on holidays right now, and what’s the best thing to do in such occasions for a nerdy boy like me? Watch dramas of course! And while downloading these dramas, what do you do? Obviously anticipate other dramas! And how can you not anticipate a drama with a promo poster like the above one?! Everyone is talking about the Korean adaptation of Hana Yori Dango, or Kgotboda Namja, that’s going to premiere on January 5th, 2009.

I myself have been a HUGE fan of Hanadan for, say… 4 years? I knew the manga and could totally relate do the story, so I fell in love with it. Then came Meteor Garden, the taiwanese adaptation, that was almost like reading the manga again with poor production and bad actors (but entertaining as well) And so came the jdrama, which everyone fell in love with, and had a great production with memorable cast, wonderful music and great chemistry between the main actors. So, how can you make a better adaptation than that?

Of course everyone is comparing this new version to the japanese one, and talking about how GHS is too old to play the part, and how the production is too similar to the jdrama’s… Well, I’ve been reading everything (I mean, EVERYTHING, and I’m a busy boy XD) about this drama, and I’m pretty confident it’s gonna be good. I know GHS from Nonstop 5 and I do think she can pull off the funny and strong side os Tsukushi. Other than that I can’t wait to see Han Chae Young’s Shizuka, Kim Bum acting as a playoboy (come on, HE’S A KID) and, especially, Lee Min Ho as Domyoji, he has THE Domyoji face, I can’t freaking wait to see that.

Sadly, in Jdramas there doesn’t seem to have anything as exciting for me. The last Jdrama I finished was Atsu-hime, and I’l talk about it later, but other than that, I haven’t watched many dramas in 2008, for lack of time and interest. In the next season the Gekku (Monday @ 9 p.m) drama will be Voice, a drama about forensic pahotlogy students who try to solve the mysteries of the corpses they examine (?). How tacky is that? It doesn’t grab my attention at all, but I’ll probably watch it because of Eita (and because it’s a Gekku).

Eita is obviously happy that he’s going to be the lead in a Gekku.

There’s a drama with Karina and Tamaki Hiroshi, another with Ohno, one with Kamenashi Kazuya… Jdrama world seems so boring these days >:( Sigh, I’ll probably spend my time finishing Nodame and watching Hanadan. I intend to talk about every episode of Hanadan I watch here to share the excitement, so wait for it!

Bye
