Goong [Palace]
Status: 16-20? episodes, still airing..latest episode is no.6
Synopsis: How would you feel when you overhear a guy's marriage proposal being turned down, and then finding out that that's your future husband? You'd probably freak out.. That's what happened to Chaegyung. She overheard Shin, the crown prince of Korea, proposing to Hyorin, his secret girlfriend. A few days later, she was told that due a promise between her grandfather and the old king of Korea, she has to marry the crown prince. Initially reluctant, both of them agreed to the proposal with different motivations. Life as a 'Cinderella' begins for Chaegyung, but can she have the same happy ending?
Eye-candies: YUL! haha :P Shin, Hyorin
Why you should watch this: Totally different from 1Litre, this drama is light hearted and fun to watch. Sometimes it reminds me of Hana Yori Dango because the heroine is a feisty, middle-class girl thrown in to mix with the upper-class of society. CG's actions are so fun to watch [sometimes bordering on stupidity - 'could you believe that girl is the crown princess' acts]. Throw in some conspiracy from the family of the ex-future king[he died in an accident-so his wife and son lost lots of things] to gain their rights, you get a mix of comedy, romance and intrigue. Plus, you get to see them wearing Korean traditional costumes most of the time [the headpieces looks uncomfortable..] and learn a bit about the royal traditions. Since Korea is now a republic, I'm not sure how accurate this would be, but I guess the writer would have researched this before writing the manhwa. [yep..this drama is again an adaptation. This time from a famous Korean manhwa with the same title]

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha
mm watched Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam 2 just now. What a way to celebrate raya :p . The story's a bit confusing. Have to concentrate when watching to get what's actually happening. Funny bits here and there. Especially liked the scene with Aznil haha..
Finished reading Ring by Koji Suzuki a couple of days ago. Not bad. The phrases are a bit .. I dunno how to say this.. plain? The beginning's a bit slow, but the pace picked up after the main character watched the video. I'd say the movie creeps me out more. Still haven't finished watching the tv drama version. But from what I've seen, the drama stays a bit more true to the book [as in the main character is a male reporter named Asakawa]. I've only watched 2 episodes, so the comments have to be reserved until I finish watching the rest of the drama. Planning to read the sequel to the book - Spiral, soon.
Maybe I'll update on my winter vacation in Italy when I have the time and the will to write the entry. Tried uploading the pics to my fotopages, but the upload speed was terribly slow. So I abandoned the idea.
Anyway, a happy new year to all~
