Qi Yue soon hears from her best friends that Ahmon is the school president's son. Being rich and powerful, Ahmon and his gang go around bullying other people to amuse themselves. While walking around school, Yue runs into Ahmon. He shows her the letter and reads the front of the envelope out to her. Qi Yue then realizes that Ahmon picked up the letter that she dropped.

Unwillingly, Qi Yue is forced to cater to Ahmon's every desire.

 

Qi Yue hates Ahmon at first but as she gets to know him, Qi Yue realizes that he is simply "hard on the outside, soft on the inside" and is actually a nice person and just does things differently. In turn, Ahmon finds that Qi Yue is a unreasonably cute and innocent girl who is compassionate towards everyone and melts his heart. Very soon, Qi Yue finds herself flirting with her favorite devil and vice versa.

What I Think:

Here goes my unorganized thoughts on this one.

The 3 leads actors.

Rainie Yang – as usual I love her to pieces. Her hairstyle is good, clothes are okay and she has great chemistry with Mike He and Kingone! I just love the way she pouts her mouth, and her range of acting has gone really big considering that she has done a bed scene with Mike He on this one. J

 

Mike He - I hate Mike He’s hairstyle; it reminds me of Dao Ming Zi’s pineapple-all-over-the-place hair! Waaaah! I think Kingone is cuter! Haha! This is the first time I have seen Mike act and he does fairly okay. He just seems to over –exaggerate a lot of things here…the way he smirks, smiles or whatever it is. He seems to like Rainie for real, coz you can feel their chemistry as if they are not acting. Is it true they are really dating for real?

 

Kingone Wang – Holy crap! He is like the Jiro Wang of ISWAK… Omg in the first episode, the bomb was already dropped on me!! Holy smokes, I think Yuan Yi (Kingone) is absolutely handsome!! Holy crap, I might as well day dream with Ranie on this boy! He looks a lot like Kwon Sang Woo, coz of the angular face, the smile. Holy Buddha I am really loving him, why the heck have I only seen this series now when this was aired in 2005? By episode 3, I already like Jiang Meng and Yuan Yi both…but Jiang Meng is going up my cuteness scale. Yuan Yi looks absolutely cute still in every jacket he wears, he makes it look good.

 

The downfall of this series: too many side stories happening around the main plot. Almost the whole ep 4 is devoted to YuanYi and Qi Yue’s best friend—imagine that!

All the complicated relationships: Jiang Meng & Qi Yue, Yuan Yi & Qi Yue, Yuan Yi & Qi Yue’s best friend, Jiang Meng’s dad & Qi Yue’s mom… so many complications arise that the focus was veered away from the main love triangle.

 

 

Must watch scenes:

@ The first scene where Ranie was holding her love letter for Kingone, omg that is the same scene as in ISWAK! At least Ariel Lin’s letter went to her beloved, hers made a detour! Haha!

@ Jiang Meng kissed Qi yue and Yuan Yi saw it.

@ Qi Yue sleeping in Jiang Meng’s bed the first time. Just because…

@Ahmon and Qi Yue in a bicycle, so cute together, and she held onto him tightly too. Them kissing in the middle of the road, stopping traffic.

@ Yuan Yi and Qiang Zi ran in the rain.. “The Classic” movie scene!

What I Think:

I have already written a really awesome review for this series way way back, was that 2005, when it was first aired in ctv, everything in Chinese. My pc bugged down and I lost y Silence files, so I had to rewrite this all over again and remember the stuff I said way back.

 

Compared to Jerry Yan’s The Hospital (which aired almost in the same year, channel and timeslot), this one has a better storyline, the scenes were nicely written and constructed but I have to say that it really dragged on in the ending part. Some scenes were even cinematic.

 

Vic Zhou in Silence – there is another side of Vic’s acting that is revealed here. In Meteor Garden, he was relying in his manga-bishonen-good looks, in Mars he was strong and brooding, in Silence he was cool, unfazed and in control. There is just something about Vic that I just cannot point my fingers on but he has a great commanding presence and aura about him tat when it’s his scene, you just notice him..maybe it’s the distinguished handsome looks, or his sleek, suave suits. He still lacks depth in some of the crying scenes though and he has great chemistry with Park Eun Hye.

 

Park Eun Hye – She made mute seem so beautiful. Her sign language seems effortless, very natural. She was sweet, sincere and mild-mannered. Producers tailor-made this role for Eun Hye because she cannot speak mandarin, so they made her mute. I think this is the first time that I was so enamored by an actress whose role is a mute girl, and I am actually rooting for her to end up with Wei Yi.

 

Andy Hui – I respect him as a senior actor and all but there is just something about his face that bugs me…tsk aish…he does everything to break up the couple, I just want to freakin slash him of the screen, I guess that shows how good an actor he is. I mean come on seriously between him and Zaizai who would we choose? ^_^ And if you guys, like me have seen this series in its original ctv Chinese run, holy Buddha, it makes me go crazy the way he switches from Mandarin to Cantonese – because I can only understand Mandarin, and I sort of panic when he says lines in Cantonese.

 

Fast notes on supporting cast, Yellow is played by Kingone Wang Chuan Yi. He is the hottie whom Ranie Yang had a crush in Devil Beside You. He is just so cute isn’t he? I have a hard time getting over his cuteness factor.

 

Nice scenes:

@ Wei Yi first finds out about Shen Shen's true identity

@ Shen Shen asking Wei Yi to choose between the 2 postcards in the church, oh I love this scene

@ Wei Yi and Shen Shen are living together
@ Wei Yi reading the message that Shen Shen sent him, where she confessed that she liked him

@ Wei Yi hugging Shen Shen in the rain

And what happen to her terminal heart disease in which bring all the tragedy in this movie....

 

 

 

 

Summary: 

From its title, the film "A Millionaire’s First Love" poses the ridiculous premise that somehow a story of A Millionaire’s First Love will be different from anyone else's. In the movie, at least, it is. Jae-gyung (Played by Hyeon Bin), a saucy high school drop-out who has no purpose in life than to inherit a huge sum in real estate from his wealthy grandfather, learns that his money can't buy love.
That fact comes across as a shock to a boy who hasn't had to worry about little things like a cash settlement for punching his classmate in the face, because he always has a personal lawyer who can run down to the police station to pay a fine.
Before he can inherit his grandfather's bequest, however, Jae-gyung is forced to go to a tiny school in a rural village to obtain a diploma. There he meets a clever young girl who is dying from a heart disease, Eun-hwan (Lee Yeon-hee).
That's as far as the story's outline goes.
And as simple as its plot might sound, the story's character development is even simpler.
He is rich. She's poor. He's healthy; she's dying. He's from the city. She's from the countryside. The film juxtaposes classic elements of "pure" and "tainted". In the end, of course, it's the girl who's dying, who's poor, who was raised in the pure land of the countryside who converts a tainted spoiled city boy.
The film leaves a bad taste in the mouth because it doesn't even try to add a twist of any kind. But hey, the film is a teenage fantasy. No one should expect social realism.
But considering the limits of a teenage romance starring Hyeon Bin, the Korean heartthrob from the popular TV drama "My Lovely Samsoon" ("My Name is Kim Sam-soon") the film also has its own irresistible charms.
The images in the opening credits of flashing numbers on screen as Jae-gyeong, in his loosely-worn school uniform, waits for an elevator in a decadent pose is as good a depiction as any of the budding teenage actor who is undoubtly an up-and-coming movie superstar in Korea.
Kim Tae-gyoon, the film's director, seemed to admit this when he said, "What kind of Korean film director could resist Hyeon Bin?"
He was more correct than he knew ¯ journalists, distributors and audience members can't resist the star, either.
The film, which opened its set to the press in December ahead of the film's release, had one of the busiest crowds of reporters for local productions.
It drew over 400,000 viewers in theaters across the nation when it opened earlier this year. Overseas, the film was sold to a Japanese distributor for a minimum guarantee of $1.5 million, funded by a company affiliated with Digital Adventure.
In the end, that's what A Millionaire's First Love does to you ¯ gets you a kiss from other millionaires.

What I Think:

This is the move debut for both the Hyun Bin and Lee Yeon Hee, and they pretty much did really good. I noticed the backdrop setting of the movie, very rural side of Korea that I have not seen before, but down the middle of the movie it made me want to live there because life is so simple and laid back and happy.

 

Hyun Bin is a good actor, his hairstyle though bothered me a lot, quite long but then it had to go with his image, he was a good-for-nothing bum grandson of a millionaire so yeah the hair did it, I just did not dig his hair here.  He can emote in sad scenes, he can make fun of himself and he is looking so good doing it all. I am not a very big fan of his, but in here he impressed me.

 

Lee Yeon Hee – this is the first time I noticed her and the first time I saw her act. I thought she has a long hair because that was what I saw in their pictures but she is short-haired and man she looks so much like Im Soo Jung! Like they are twins! She looks like her but she does not have half the charisma and that innocent look that Soo Jung has.

 

To-watch-out-for notes: ^_^

@ The way the Eun-hwan just starts to pop out everywhere...so creepy! She was everywhere! I swear!

@ Im Jo Hwan, talk about 2 hot best friends! He was in the movie for a few minutes and he was looking so good! I love him! He was Hyun Bin’s friend here whom he called for money.

@ Jae-kyung running to get Eun-hwan into the hospital,  that was a bit funny…he ran so fast carrying her but he cannot do the laps in his gym class!

@ When Jae-kyung gave Eun-hwan those nice white wool gloves.

@ The part where Eun-hwan was hospitalized and he was lying in the bed next to her, and they were staring at each other; she looks at him when he is asleep and he looks at her when she is asleep too…so sweet!

@ Jae-kyung said “I am here on behalf of flowers...coz they would not allow flowers, so I am here on behalf of flowers.”

@ Father to Eun-hwan: “Don’t be afraid to be happy. He is taking you from me…”

@ Hero of TVXQ sang “Insa/ Greeting” the ost that is a really nice sad song, another nice song is the piano piece with a humming part playing when he kissed her by the rain

@ When they were lying in bed together

@ Hyun-bin playing as the maid! So Hilarious!

Gangster High

 

Cast:

Jeong Kyung-ho – Lee Sanghoo

Lee Tae-seong -   Kim Jaegu

Jang Hei-jin - Suhee

Yeon Je-wook – Han Jong-suk of East High

Kim Hye-seong – Kyung-chul

Lee Heng-seok – Chang-bae

Jo Jin-woong - Hong Gyu

 

 

 

Summary:

Story is book ended by sequences in spring 1991, the opening one showing the wild-eyed Sang-ho (Jeong Gyeong-ho) being interrogated for three murders. Flashback then starts four weeks earlier, with Sang-ho standing up for a bullied friend at school and taking on the much bigger Hong-gyu (Jo Jin-woong) in a fight in a gymnasium.

The punch-up is interrupted by the entrance of Jae-gu (Lee Tae-seong) who calms the proceedings. Jae-gu, Sang-ho, Hong-gyu and the mild-looking Chang-bae (Lee Heng-seok) end up forming a school gang called the Tigers. When they come across a rival gang, East High, slapping around pretty student Su-heui (Jang Heui-jin), the two groups start to rumble.

Things aren't helped by the fact that Sang-ho starts to take a liking to Su-heui and the leader of East High, a cocky young psycho called Jong-seok (Yeon Je-wook), considers her his ex. Even though Su-heui makes it quite plain to Jong-seok that he never came on her radar, latter uses it an excuse to declare war on the Tigers.

Events escalate when Chang-bae has his leg viciously broken by Jong-seok in one brawl. After one of the Tigers is accidentally killed during a subsequent set-to, Sang-ho plans a do-or-die assault on the East Highers in a pool hall one night.

What I Think:

When I started watching this movie, I was thinking that this might be another one of those high-school brawling kind but I was so wrong. This movie is definitely great but not at par with let’s says, “Arahan” but definitely as good as “Once Upon A Time in High School.” (Starred Kwon Sang Woo and Lee Jung Jin). The music background in some fight scenes was awesome. I have to look for some of the songs. The whole Tiger group were great. The fight scenes were awesome but the one near the end, man that was a blood bath! That was so horrible, the knives, the axes, the blood oozing! And the leg-breaking part, that was eerie!! If you like blood baths, and gut-wrenching fight scenes, this movie is 99% of that, so you will like it.

 

Jung Kyung Ho – When I first saw him in MISA, I felt he was so good, he cannot just play second fiddle, he should be a lead star in a good movie. His face is very distinguished, he has this aura than can really hold your attention; plus it does help that he looks mighty fine. In fact most of the guys in his peer group are might fine! In MISA, Jung Kyung Ho was frail, demanding, and a bit spoiled; in Sweet18, he was funny and almost unnoticeable, in Gangster High he has a commanding presence and he delivered. I like the fact that he stood up for his friends no matter what.

 

Lee Tae-seong -   as Kim Jaegu god, what was this boy thinking. He was just damn too late…that I have to say, and I don’t know what he was thinking when he did that. Jaegu is an all-around nice boy I guess, he does not like brawls and fist fights. He does not look that bad too.

 

Jang Hei-jin – as Suhee, wow this is the first time I saw her and she definitely looked so much like Jeon Ji Yeon! Her hair, her height (though I figured she just used really high heels), her lips, god! She looks so much like Jeon! Yeah definitely the lips! She looks so pretty but then again this is a male-dominated movie, she was okay in there. I figured when these handsome oppas start liking these girls, problems start to arise. I hate to admit it but it is always the women. But then again she looks especially pretty here.

 

The supporting cast, fast notes, Kim Hye Seung looks so grown up here already, okay well almost grown up. He has a few flab and he looks shorter compared with the rest of the boys but he still looks cute. No more Jenny Juno drama here folks! He starts axing people here are you kidding me?! Then Lee Haeng Seok, oh my god, he looks absolutely handsome! He is my latest ulzzang find!! He is like the younger Lee Ki Woo(The Classic, A Love To Kill) ! I have to get over him, he made me forget that I was suppose to be watching this movie and look for Yu-gun (Hello God) oppa! Yu-gun, as I have realized, is not in this movie after all.
