Breaking Dawn

I had the book in my possession for four days before finally brave myself to start reading it, I dont know why I'm kinda hesitant then when I was so fired up to know the ending before... Well, anyway I like the ending of these series (unlike Harry Potter, hmph!). The book was told from two perspective; Bella and Jacob and then back to Bella. I like it better when told from Jacob's perspective :) Not that I hate Bella as from the previous three books, here she seems more tolerable.
Anyway the ending Bella, Edward and Jacob get their happy ending. Though I'm not overly content with Jacob's happy ending. "Imprinting" somehow steal someone freedom of choice; willpower, but hey all in all, I dont think there's a very satisfying happy ending for Jacob; for him to simply fall in love with another girl without the 'soulmate' syndrome will make him a fickle man.
The questions lingering in my mind was about the wolves pack. After all the troubles were overcomes, they remained two separate packs? Because of his 'object of imprintment' Jacob abandon his early plans to leave his village and his former pack, right? So one pack would have Sam as their Alpha and the other Jacob? What would become of Leah? Will she remain bitter and feeling left-out? or wont she found her own soulmate also someday?
Hmm...wonder what children would a half-vampire and a werewolf have? Opps! There are not werewolves; but shape shifters lah...If not because of the 'confrontation' at the ending I would not notice the difference between werewolves and shape-shifters. Werewolves doesnt change into wolves by will, only when there's full moon and when they can infected someone to become like them by biting, while shape-shifter its in the genes and cannot be transfered to another.

Crazy For You (3)

What would you do if you fall in love with the person who caused the death of the person you were in love before? Even if its accidental, even if its unintentional; but the fact remains the same - he/she was the reason that your beloved's life was cut short. Even if you could forgive him/her, but would you be able to be with him/her with a clear conscience? would you be able to forget that 'fact'?
Suh Jin Young absorbed herself with work after her fiance was killed in road accident the day before their wedding day. Their bestfriend Hyun Chul went abroad and left her alone dealing with her own grief because he himself was in love with her. He was on the phone with his friend when his friend got hit. The last word he said to Hyun Chul was he knows about Hyun Chul feeling and he trust him...then the sound of BAM! He went back after 5 years, thinking he was cured of his feeling but just one look and all those 5-years effort was useless...

Kim Chae Jun cant get a stable work being an ex-convict, but Director Suh Jin Young give him a chance as an aviation mechanic. Then his childhood sweetheart Min Hee left him because she dont like to live in poverty. She knows that he's willing to work hard for her to get whatever it is she want. But that just it, not anybody had to work hard just to get a bigger tv. Min Hee was materialistic in a nice way, you could understand her frustration and ambition. Furthermore, it gives reason for Min Hee to let go of Chae Jun's hand first ^_^ Chae Jun was falling for the kind and baeutiful Jin Young and she was falling for the hard working, honest, charming, cheerful Chae Jun.
Then, they later found out it was Chae Jun who hit Jin Young's fiance. It didnt help their relationship either by the fact that Jin Young was living with her dead fiance's parents as if she really are their daughter-in-law. To not broken everyone hearts, she kinda broke up with Chae Jun and try to hate him and even wished that he got beaten to death. She no longer can hide from reality by using her working endlesssly. She cant forget Chae Jun. Was it worth it to make everyone happy by living in misery? Or would you be able to be happy when you know you had broken many hearts? Tough choice, but if I were her, they were not my real parents anyway...
Then there's Min Hee and Hyun Chul. Pityful Min Hee, its alright for her to see Chae Jun in pain because of her, but when it was because of another woman, she can's stand it. Pityful, Hyun Chul, happy to be married to the one he love knowing she's in love with another man.

My 19 Year Old Sister-in-Law (3)

Its been awhile since I post about my kdrama, partly because I was finishing off the Stephenie Meyer's New Moon and Eclipse and the other because I only got Vol.1 for Yi San...sigh! when will Vol.2 be available??????? When I watched the whole drama then I'll post something about it.....
After falling in love with Yoon Kye Sang in 'Who Are You', I simply wanna watch his other works, and since my niece had this drama ^-^ I'll just have to borrow from her. (Currently in the process of watching Crazy For You - looks promising!)

First of all this drama shouldnt be titled as such, since it told the story when she was 19 and 24 years old. It's about a 19 year old girl, Yoo Min who after the death of her mother when she was 4, was left/abandoned in a train by the two aunts who works at her mother's restaurant. She was later adopted by the couple who found her and later when her adopted father lost at sea and the adopted mother left for parts unknown, she alone take cares of her sick adopted brother, Kang Pyo. She didn't remember much of her childhood, she thought she was abandoned by her parents, so she wants to ask them, even if they are so poor, did they even try to take care of her? She took care of the sick Kang Pyo who don't have any blood relation to her- no matter how hard and trying it is- why couldnt they?

Because of her brother illness, she frequented the hospital Min Jae works at and had a crush on him for years and accidently when she was 19 she meets Seung Jae- the younger brother of Min Jae-who at the time was running away from home. To deter his mother effort to marry him to some socialite, Min Jae gets in an engagement contract with Yoo Min and they all end up living at Min Jae's house. The contract expire when his first love return back to him.

Unexpectedly, Seung Jae and Yoo Min are going to the same high school and those close encounters make him fall in love with her. But he hide it all inside, because he love his brother so much, who also began to develop tender feelings for Yoo Min

I was guessing it was 50-50 at first, which brother she end up with, but then there are more interaction between Seung Jae and Yoo Min rather than with Min Jae so its sorta tipped towards Seung Jae at the end. But the past started unraveling, so maybe she wont choose either brother.... See its their mother who left her on the train!
On the other hand, Yoo Min's father who got amnesia from a car accident when she was four is looking for her again after being told the truth by his father of his marriage and the daughter he never knew he had. He met Su Ji, Yoo Min's childhood friend (one of the aunts' daughter) who remembered him. She knew what her mother had done, so she covered it up by telling Yoo Min's father that her daughter was dead in an accident when she was 9 years old. Funnily enough he bought it, without needing further proof. Even if they dont have grave or they scattered the ashes away at sea or higher ground, don't they have death certifcates or something??? He later sort of treated Su Ji as his surrogate daughter. Not only Su Ji would lose so much if the trut was revealed, she was also in love with Seung Jae who regards her as a sister only...

Cast:

Jung Da Bin as Yoo Min
(DOB: 1980-Mar-04, Died: 2007-Feb-10)
According to police's primary investigation, Jeong death was suicide due to depression.
I didnt like her in this drama - too over, too fake. Then I found that she was no longer among the living. Feeling sad suddenly... Life, you'll never know when its your turn...

Kim Jae Won as Kang Min Jae (DOB: 1981-Feb-18)

Kim Min Hee as Choi Su Ji (DOB: 1982-Mar-01)
Yoon Kye Sang as Kang Seung Jae (DOB: 1978-Dec-20)
Hee...he was older than Kim Jae Won but he played the younger siblings. I thinks its in his smile so young and carefree...but it contrast with his sad eyes... Heehe...by the many pics I posted here, you can guess that he ranks among the top of my Kactors now, maybe even my no.2 ^_^
