3 Dads 1 Mom NGs!

I love watching Korean Dramas' NGs (bloopers) after watching the drama (especially if the drama have a sad ending - it lifted up your mood back). But there's something about 3 Dads and 1 Mom NGs that makes you smile like a loony person infront of your computer's monitor. It's full of laughter!

Look at the baby - how she stop crying when the director yelled "CUT!" ^_^

Bought the DVD of this drama already, the subtitles doesn't looks o great. Hmmm..when will I get to watch it ?????? I remember a comedy sitcom that I used to watch during my pre-teen days... maybe the title "Out of This World", its about this kids who was half human, half alien. She had this ability to stop time by connecting her two index together, the she was able to communicate with her alien father. Or maybe have powers like Hiro Nakamura (Heroes). Isnt it nice to be able to stop time, when you have a deadline, you dont have to rush, just stop time and you could do it leisurely... haha, it will make proscrastinate more!

Three Dads One Mom - Final Episode

It was aired last Thursday night. Although there will be rerun at 3am in the morning - I could get up to watch it then- but I rather watch the 9pm show, because I simply cant wait to see the ending! I do have a guess of how's its gonna end, but 'guessing' was not enuff, I want confirmation! So, I cheerfully foregone going to the cinema with my siblings and fruitbabies to catch "Get Smart" and haha...one of my fruitbabies did the same too, she stay back to wait for the episode!

I know Dramabeans didnt find the show worthy enough to continue watching and reviewing. But it was a good entertaining drama for me. Cant wait to buy the boxset once its available, so that I can rewatch it again. ^_^ Maybe I'm biased because of Jo Hyun Jae. Another reason to watch it was for the cute adorable Haseon - I'm baby-crazy! Babies are so cute, the innocent look of their eyes, their small delicate fingers, their sweet smell...sigh! When will I see my newest niece again?

Anyway, Na Young is a bit dense not to realised that four guys are attracted to her. She either lives in her own 'world' or just blinded herself to the truth. Will she go to Dubai with her boss and spent 5 years in a foreign country with Haseon in tow?

Or will she choose the responsible and sweet Gwang Tae, who she proclaimed any woman who marry him, will be the luckiest?

or Kwang Hui, who as sweet as can be, both to Haseon and Na Young? Thouhh simply put, Eugene and Jae Hae simply dont have the on-screen chemistry, he looks like an adorable younger brother to her or her best friend.
Then, there is Su Hyun....who at the start was the guy she cant get along with the most, with his stingyness and distant attitude. But then, there is something 'undercurrent' going on with them - well at least that what I think the director, writers and actors were trying to potray....
Who is amongst the three of them is Haseon biological father? Will that play a part in determining who Na Young end up with?
As it turned out, none of them is the father!!! The biological father is Sung Min (as predicted!). And as predicted also, the ending is open-ended with NaYoung changed her mind at the last minute and not going to Dubai. She continued to live with the 3 guys, but then Haseon commentaries describing her three dads gives you a hint on who Na Young should/would be with. Haseon sez, her mom always smile when she look at one of the guys - who was it? Hehe...not gonna tell.
The ending was satisfactory, if she made a definite choice, it's gonna be sad-ending for the two remaining guys. Now, hopefully with this ending, it gives room for a sequel....but then, Hyun Jae ssi will be entering the army by the end of July or early Aug :( so it's not gonna be soon.

Episode 3 - After founding about the tape, they try to subtlely advise Na Young to have an abortion but Na Young wouldnt hear of it. Na Young was checking her finances and found out her late husband had make a large withdrawal on the day of his death. She asked his freinds if they borrowed money from him and they told her they didnt. She also found out that she wont receive any work insurance from her late husband's company she he died on his off day. That makes her curious more because he told her he had to go for work-related issue. Seeing that her finances is depleting, she went out in search of work, and found a job selling children books door-to-door. She wasnt successful in selling a single book, in fact she fainted at the end of the day. She was rushed to the hospital and the 3 guys feels so guilty about taking less care of Na Young that they agreed to secretly pooled their money to raise the baby. Kyung Tae asks his mother advise about what nourishment foods for pregnant women, Gwang Hee asks advise from pregnant woman he met in subway train, the three of them cleaned her apartment and decorate it to welcome her Na Young home from the hospital. They recorded a lullaby song for the baby that Song Min intends to do. They take turn accompanying na Young to pre-natal classes, which they registered for her. Then, Na Young calls them in the middle of the night when she thought that she was due to give birth!!!

Owh..Su Hyun found out that his manager's has a daughter who own an art gallery. He try to attract her attention by going to the gallery and act like he know a thing about art, but in the end only making a fool of himself ^_^ He's so adorable even when is being stingy. Hehe..he warned Na Young to get healthy and give birth normally, cause a c-section costs is more expansive and then he was peeling a pear for Na Young, and eat off from the skin, which he had peeled too thick.

Episode 4 - Started with the nurse telling them its only false alarm. Na Young was several days past her due date and she started to get worried. And when she experiencing some pain, she hesitated to call the guys again, scared that it will be another false alarm. So she took a taxi and the taxi driver took her to neaby hospital (which just opened! with nervous doctors and nurses!)

The birthing scenes engrossed the whole restaurant (We were celebrating my nephew's birthday at a restaurant and I asked the waitress to change their tv channel to KBS ^_^). Finally, the baby was born, a cute baby girl! Sigh...it makes me want a baby of my own! I try to find a picture of the baby but couldnt find one....

Three Daddies with One Mommy (Ep. 1 & 2)

I was elated when I read that Jo Hyun Jae had a new drama "Three Daddies and One Mommy". I dont care if the storyline is nice or boring, I just wanna watch it. Then I was browsing through Guides Menu @ Astro Channel and saw that this drama will replace Hang Gil Dong next week! Wah, cant wait for it!
The synopsis are "Na Young a widowed-29-old-single-mom, goes through the baby care with help of her late husband's three best friends. Na Young, born with natural optimism and somewhat recklessness, just lost her husband and depends on these three distinctive characters. Su Hyun is a competent fund manager and most successful among friends, but most narrow-minded and stingy. Gwanghee is a handsome cartoonist with good taste of fashion, but an ultimate cynic. Kyung Tae is a young and good-looking detective, but too shy to speak in front of girls. Three guys at first feel burdensome when Na Young asks for support. As time goes by, however, they start to feel a deep emotion toward the baby and to Na Young as well."


Hmmm... I think its either she dont she choose any of them, or between Su Hyun and Gwang Hee, with the winner being Su Hyun! ^_^

The Four Main characters:

Song Na-young (Eugene) is an irresistible widow dashing this way and rushing that. "I am happy as a woman? Why? 'Cause I can be a mom!" A bit strange and somewhat insecure, she makes men want to take care of her. She always is babbling and playful but after her husband's death, she feels lonely and empty without anyone she can talk to. Na-young wants to be a strong working mom and she happens on her talent to become a consultant of designing apartment buildings. (I dont know why people adore her so much? She looks so 'fake' in Save The Last Dance ...) Choi Gwang-hee (Jae Hee) is a cartoonist who likes girls but doesn't like the idea of marriage and detests children. He is a handsome but cynical guy who is fashionable, looks lonely and it seems there's something about him. So he is popular among girls. However he is full of strange ideas. He is a cynic who seeks love affairs but doesn't know true love. (Didnt make an impression in Sassy Girl Chung Hyang or Witch Yoo Hee - so I witheld my judgement for now)
Han Su-hyun (Jo Hyun Jae) is a succeeding fund manager but skinflint who wants to be the top 1% richest man. He is most successful among his friends but still has a long way to go. Step1; Searching for a millionare's daughter. Step2; Marrying her. Step3; Having an adorable daughter baby. He never loses his money and plays hard to reach his goal. But that's all gone to hell. Though he ignores poor girls, he falls in love with Song Na-young who is penniless. (Its the first time he's in a less serious role, so who cares if he's a materialistic guy here...still rooting for JHJ :P)
Na Hwang Kyung-tae (Shin Sung Rok) is a man who is a powerful detective in solving cases but trembles in front of women. "I want to get married. I want to have a baby as well. No matter what they say I am the dad. And there's no reason not to be her husband." He is hansome, but naive and shy in front of girls. Even though he likes babies and is willing to have parental leave, Na Young's baby cringes with him around. He wants to introduce Na-young and her baby to his mother as soon as possible. (Now that i see this picture I recognize him as the irresponsible asshole who leaves his girlfriend in 'Thank You')

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In these two episodes it tells the story of four very best friends, Sangmin, Su Hyun, Kwanghee and Kyung Tae. Sangmin got married to Na Young (to Na Young it feels like she marry the four of them), and after three years of trying to get a baby, the blissfully married couple starting to get frustrated. Both born in a broken family- the only family Na Young have is her irresponsible father and Sangmin is his three friends- Na Young really really wanted a baby. Sangmin feels its his fault since its his sperm that was the problem, conned and blackmailed his 3 friends in their drunken state to donate their sperms - without Na Young knowledge of course. After they donated their sperms, they had come to their senses and pleaded with Sangmin not to go ahead with his plan. Sangmin promised them that he wont use their sperm-so they rest assurred. And finally the good news, Na Young is finally pregnant!

Sangmin was very tentative to his wife and began building his baby a crib and rocking horse. Then a call from his father-in-law, he had to make overnight trip without telling his wife the reason for his sudden departure. He ask his friends to look after her when he was away. Na Young was having a cold and since she is pregnant she cant take medicine, so Kyung Tae calls his mother for advise. He was told to soak a very big pear with honey and when the juices come out to give to Na Young. He calls Su Hyun and Gwang Hee who was on the wasy home to buy those things. Being stingy, Su Hyun didnt buy the most expansive pear ^_^

So at home, while Na Young was sleeping, they struggled to peel the pear as thin as possible, as to waste little and pour in the honey. When they gave it to Na Young, she complained that it was too sweet. Su Hyun feels offended then said that she should be grateful that they are taking care of her. Na Young replies that it would amke them even, since she take care and fed them many times. Su Hyun tells her then that they thought that her cooking was terrible. Na Young says that she would tell sangmin when he get back. Kyung Tae want to make amends, ask Na Young if she wishes to eat anything, they will get it for her. She then asks them to buy foods in the middle of the night. Su Hyun was the most disgruntled of the three to had to go through all this trouble for her.

Then, tragedy struck....Sangmin was killed in a car accident. All four of them was devastated. Na Young was so lucky that Sangmin had this three bestfriends who was also there for her. The three of them take care of the little details that need to be taken care of like registering for his death, closing his bank account, packing all his things in the office. It was then they found a video tape Sangmin had make for his future child, in it he recorded that he wants the baby to respect his three 'uncles' because if it wasnt for them, he/she wouldnt be born....so did Sangmin use his own sperm or his friends????? Cant wait for next week!!!! Oh...next week 'Single Daddy in Love' will be finishing...and replacing it will be 'Formidabel Opponent' with Chae Rim...oh cant wait!!!! but I might have to watch the 3am show :(

Thank You - 4 Stars

Can there really a person as giving, as patient, as kind as Lee Young Shin (Gong Hyo Jin) ? Really? In this world? Hmm....

She got pregnant by a friend she love, but the guy slept with her because a bet he made with his friends. Heartless jerk, I'll say. He knew as a friend how hard her life already is- left as an orphan, caring for her Grandfather who has Alzheimer - why does he have to mess with her heart and life even more? To add salt to the wound, he knew she have a child- though nobody know who the father is, but everyone silently know it's him - but he didn't return to the island for 6 years after serving his 2 years in the army! And all he could say to her when he return, "Why didn't you ask me to stay? Ask me to stay and I'll give up everything." Hulllloooooo... does she really need to ask him? dumbo! jerk! bastard! moron! Bbabo! You should know your own reponsibilty!

So she raised her daughter by herself, took care of her ailing grandfather, support her brother's study and still with a smile on her face. When her daughter ended up having HIV because of a blood transfusion, she didn't sue the doctor and the hospital to kingdom come but walk quietly out of the hospital. She still show her cheerfulness to the world. I know wailing and pulling my hair out wouldn't solve anything, but still....at least that would make me human isn't it?

Dr. Min Ki Seo (Jang Hyuk) is an arrogant jerk who lost his passion in healing the sick after his father's medical license was revoked for a patient that end up dead. To top it off his girlfriend died of pancreatic cancer that he could't cure. He just lost his reason to live. Before his girlfriend died, she asked him to apologize on her behalf to the little girl that ends up having HIV because of her careless mistake. I don't think that at first he went to Canglu Island to fulfill her last wish, fate (or the writers) just meant for him to meet Lee Bom (Seo Shin Ae). With them, he learn again to be compassionate, to love and to laugh again.

I couldn't recognize Jang Hyuk from The Successful Story of a Bright Girl at first, maybe because he lost his weight after his 2 years stint in the army (in Wiki it stated he try to avoid serving!) but then the way he tilt his head arrogantly jolt my memory. Though I don't like him (coz he can't act humble), I wouldnt want Young Shin to choose Choi Suk Hyun (Shin Sung Rok) the jerk though...I didn't care how much he regret his past actions, or how he deep inside wants to be with Young Shin and Lee Bom and thus live in misery, it still stink if she choose him!

Well, just as the title suggest, the drama ends with everyone being thankful ^_^ Young Shin to Suk Hyun for getting her pregnant and giving her Lee Bom, Suk Hyun to Young Shin for not teaching Lee Bom to hate him and Ki Seo to Young Shin for giving him a miracle...

Gong Hyo Jin natural beauty shines through here, if only her make up was as light as this in Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy....then she and Gong Yoo would make a nice couple :)
