K-Music: God of Study Ballad tracks


Here are my two favourite tracks from the God of Study OST.
For a "kiddo" show, they have several tracks which are rather pleasant to listen to. I am even more surprise to know that the second track here is sung by the same actress in the drama.

1. Cuz' I'm weary (DWL)

2. Rolling 또르르 (DWL)


3 drama reviews

I would assume everyone heard about the highest ever recorded air pollution in Hk to hit over 500 pollution index... U dun feel the immediate impact but coupled with drastic change in temperature week to week, I have once again succumbed to the virus monster....or rather respiratory tract infection.... So had to call in sick today since my head felt like a huge melon. My nose like a running Tap and my throat feels like a thousand pin is stabbing it.

By now, I have finished watching brillant legacy featuring seunggi , god of study, and now following hello my lady.

To start off, I like brillAnt legacy and saw the other side of seunggi!! I have always seen him more sweet and guilable, thus seeing him acting as a jerk in the drama was a pleasant surprise! I like the drama as it is a sweet and feel good plot with a sort of happy ending. Alls well end well!

The next drama is god of study which frankly I only started from ep 10. I needed to keep my eyes occupied while ironing my overflowing stack of clothes. The leading bad boy is rather cute though much too young to entice further idolisation... The story is simple and more motivating sort of way. I guess audience who are still in high school will prob appreciate this series more since it's about friendship and overcoming your personal obstacles when all seem lost. It kinda make me miss my tutors and remind me of those good old mugging days with my BFFs.. How nostalgic!!! The show was intriguing enough because of lawyer kang who is the pushing factor to set them on the right path. There are moments where my nose started to sniffle at those touching moments. It's a sweet endearing sort of drama which will kinda bring one back to school days... And rind us of those encourging teachers who truly left their mark on us and made a lasting difference!!



Hello my lady only just started in kbs world so i dun have much to say yet. So far it's entertaining enuff to Keep my tired eyes open till the hour drama is over before I m willing to sleep. The story is as below

"Lee Soo Ha, 38th granddaughter of the Jae Ahn Lee clan and owner of the clan manor Hwa Ahn Dang, is trying to save the place from going bankrupt. Hwang Dong Gyu, oldest grandson of the president of TOP Group, is trying to buy Hwa Ahn Dang because his grandfather, who was once a servant at the manor, cannot rest in peace unless he spends his last days in Hwa Ahn Dang's master suite. Hwang Chan Min, Dong Gyu's playboy cousin, is his rival in business and love. Enter Seo Hwa Ran, a model who has a secret history with and a secret plan for Hwa Ahn Dang (and Chan Min), and Lee Joon Yong, Soo Ha's brother and Chan Min's friend who can't forget a girl from Hwa Ahn Dang he knew when he was a kid... "

The lead actress is rather funny in her country bum ways..while it doesn't make me laugh out loud and continously like YAB, it still has it's funny moments to draw a few chuckles. For now, rather worth my time and interest. If it gets good or really bad, will let u know...

That's all the update this week. Will disappear next week...

就想賴著你插曲:禮物 - 劉力揚

I love this song from the Taiwanese Drama - Down with Love. (download)
One of my fav lines in the song is below.

"世上最殘酷的 恐怕是時間
困住人 一切卻還向前 "

Translated:
"Time is probably one of the most cruel thing in life,
Everything else moves ahead, while the person is trapped behind."






禮物 - 劉力揚

終於可以在今天劃上句點
一整夜 翻閱過去畫面
快想不起我們為何會訣別
只看到那雙你送的鞋

走一步又一步 我才發現繞了個圈
走了好幾年 又回到原點

*你送的禮物 會不會太特別
毫不避諱 那不安的傳言
但漸行漸遠 習慣到沒感覺
難道你早想要我走遠

#你送的禮物 在此刻好體貼
陪我回憶 把過往走一遍
穿了這些年 難免會有污點
就像每段愛 總會有終點

世上最殘酷的 恐怕是時間
困住人 一切卻還向前
乾涸的眼再擠不出一點鹹
愛到如此可悲的境界

走一步又一步 卻跟不上你的腳步
你滿意了 為什麼我卻只想要哭

重唱 *,#

你說做自己吧 我們都做回自己 哦
不要再為愛受委屈

你送的禮物 原來是一場劫
終於分別 宿命一樣準確
可笑到想要 你賠給我時間
愛情有時廉價得可憐

光著腳我一路奔跑 鮮血淚水一路狂飆
收起我的驕傲 承認曾經備受煎熬
鞋上那記號 只有你能明瞭
過了這一夜 我就全忘掉

T drama: Down with love overview


Before I knew it, it has been over a month since I last blog anything!!! Gasp!!! Did time really passed by so quickly!!!

In between my busy schedule, I manage to squeeze time in to watch some drama. PrimArily I was in a marathon dash to finish the Taiwanese drama "down with love"... Much that I dun fancy Ella very much as an actress, yet this drama was way better than I had expected. Or perhaps solely because I dint pin any hope and thus was pleasantly surprised by my enjoyment of the series!

I have to confess, I actually kinda like Jerry Yan here. I never like him as an actor previously as I dun think he knows how to act except to act cool in his roles. I didn't think he has any depth to try to capture the essence if the characters that he played in all his previous roles. I dun dislike him, I just think he was a pretty vase. In here, perhaps the role suits him or that he has mature a little and I like him here, if not quite bemused by the guy he played in here. Jerry had captured the sort of rollercoasrer emotions rather well, the anticipation the exitment and the anger... Maybe his personal experience might hVe help himinterpret the reqiuired emotions better here.
In short, I think he suceeded in getting audience to laugh with him and sympathize his predicament.

As for Ella, no offence but she is just not my cup of tea when it comes to romance drama.she is too act cute and her naive silly expression doesn't convince me that I should root for her. I think she is ok incomic roles but in romance with so many cute guys after her is frankly asking too much of my stretch of imagination. I am not saying cute good looking successful man will never fall for plain janen
but truth is, it's as rare as finding a goldmine in your backyard.. Know wat I mean? Acting skills, she is still a little out there for me. Not sure if it's the script or just her. Seeing her and Jerry as a couple gives me the creeps so totally unbelievable..

However the actress who plays Ella sister is good and funny!! I think she did fantastic job protraying a penny conscious yet doting sister...

The story board is that Ella and her sister are abandoned by their debt ridden dad. To raise Ella on her own, the sister abandon her dream as an interior designer and become accountant at a law firm tomake ends meet. Her lawyer boss played by Jerry yan had an underground love relationship with a celeb who is his uni sweetheart. Their relationship is under wrapped as his gf wanted to protect her career as an idol. Only Jerry best fren in uni knows their relationship. His best fren was Also the girl's exbf but he lied that they were not because he wanted to help her get hitched with Jerry. Ella had 2 bad brushes with Jerry and by chance became t
jerry niece and nephew baby sitter. From misunderstding, Jerry originally
misstood Ella as a gay.

To protect her job and her sister killing her from paying penalty if she was fired by Jerry, Ella went along pretending to be gay. By chance she also get to know Jerry best fren when she was ditched by her ex. After spending
much time and several mishap together, Jerry realised he was falling for Ella after his gf decided to reject Jerry proposal and ended their romance. By the time his exbf wanted to patch back, it was too late as his heart was with Ella who didn't realised. The gf unable to accept the facts that she lost Jerry ESP to a plain Jane seemed Jerry best fren help. The dude was still in love with her and thus agreed to help by going after ella himself si that Jerry willback off. It worked inkeeping Jerry from revealing his budding love to Ella but it did not bring Jerry and his ex back. The ex gf schemed and tried all
means to winjerry back but in vain...

Meanwhile Ella sister was devasted as she had carried atorch for Jerry best fren all along. However she learnt to accept the facts after hearing jerrys inner thoughts abt wanting the person he love to be happy...

In the end, well it's a happy ending for Jerry of course but it's nice to see how they get there....

The story is not riveting but if I have time, it does have a strong pull to keep me fixated till I must go out. There are funny moments- more from jerry and quite a good drama to watch to pass time. Would I recommend it, yeah not bad. Why not if u have the time?

Those who doesnt need the English Subs can watch the whole completed series here in You tube. Here is the starting point for Ep 6 (watch Ep 6 -Part 1). You can follow the rest based on the uploader channel.
