Kau yang Berasal dari Bintang (Really?)

Oke.

Gue memutuskan untuk mendedikasikan satu posting-an ini untuk membeberkan failed points dari membahas "Kau yang Berasal dari Bintang" (gue singkat KYBDB) bikinan RCTI ini.

FYI, gue penggemar berat KDrama "You Who Came From The Stars" (dari sini gue singkat jadi YWCFTS), yang juga sedang heboh di Asia. Gue nonton serial ini fresh from oven, alias selang satu hari dari jam penayangannya di Korea Selatan, dan langsung jatuh cinta sejak episode pertama.

Kemudian beberapa hari belakangan, gue mendengar desas-desus katanya penyinetronan Indonesia plagiat "beraksi" lagi. Katanya, RCTI membeli hak cerita YWCFTS dan membuat versi Indonesia-nya, yaitu KYBDB. Awalnya gue pikir, hmmm kemajuan juga, produser-produser ini mulai tau malu dan "ngerti" cara minta ijin hak cipta. Tapi kemudian, hari ini beredar berita kalau SBS (channel TV Korsel yang menayangkan YWCFTS) melayangkan protes dan menuduh adanya tindak plagiat oleh RCTI dengan KYBDB-nya. Waduh... Bagaimana ini??

See the difference? See what I meant?

Karena terbukti KYBDB ternyata beneran plagiat belum punya ijin resmi sebagai versi Indonesia dari YWCFTS, maka gue memutuskan untuk menghujat melayangkan beberapa kritik sebagai pemirsa yang menonton komplit YWCFTS dan episode pertama KYBDB. Karena gue nggak sanggup nonton KYBDB lebih dari satu episode, Biar adil, gue hanya bahas episode pertama dari keduanya.

1. Kim Soo Hyun vs. Morgan dan Jun Ji Hyun vs. Nikita Willy

ORANG BUTA MANA NYAMAIN KIM SOO HYUN SAMA MORGAN DAN JUN JI HYUN SAMA NIKITA WILLY??!! Gue nggak akan main fisik lah yah... Nggak baik. Cuman yah... yah... gimana ya... Morgan nggak jelek kok. Nikita Willy juga cakep kok. Gue rasa nggak adil membandingkan Morgan dan Nikita Willy dengan Kim Soo Hyun dan Jun Ji Hyun. Why? YA KALI, GILE AJA LO! Hmmm... levelnya beda ya... Kalau mau membandingkan 'kan harus cari yang selevel dong. FYI, Jun Ji Hyun di Korea itu mungkin levelnya minimal se-Dian Sastro di Indonesia.

Love Medicine - Joo Won (Good Doctor OST)

English: POP!GASA

When you miss a person,
 no matter how much
 you push them
It’s like trying 
to stop a young child

Everything that fills my eyes is you
I only look at you, 
who doesn’t know my heart
Though it hurts

Wind blows in my heart, 
stepping on the countless scars
Though I know love is painful
My heart beats once again
I want to believe 
that our love
isn’t momentary 
but is like destiny

We’re resembling each other, 
even the little things 
The way you talk, 
even your laughter

You have become my home 
in my life 
With your warm touch
You make me live, only you

Wind blows in my heart,
 stepping on the countless scars
Though I know love is painful
My heart beats once again
I want to believe
 that our love
isn’t momentary 
but is like destiny

My cold and frozen heart
The person who 
made it race again is you

My Addiction to 2013 Korean Dramas ♥

As I've mentioned in the last post, I'd like to make another review-list about my most recent favourite korean dramas (you can read my last reviews here).

This time, it's not easy though, because there are many great dramas this year, great stories, great actors/actresses and not to mention, some new talents and come-backs. I've watched so many dramas and it'll be a loooooong list, if I put everything I've seen these past ten months. Also, I watched some old dramas, which aired 1-3 years ago instead of 2013, and some of them made to the list.

So, I decided to review just the best five in my personal opinion :). Enjoy.

-Not in order *SPOILER ALERT*

 1. King of Baking, Kim Tak Gu (a.k.a. Bread, Love and Dreams) - 2010

Casts: Yoon Shi Yoon, Joo Won, Eugene, LeeYoung Ah

Episodes: 30

This one is exceptional. I've heard about it since years ago, but never made myself to watch it. Reason: they are new actors I've never seen before and, at the time, I was into other things (2008-2011 is the time of my hiatus periods as kdrama-addict, I may say). Besides, I thought it would be a drama with cliche from kitchen-setting drama: some used-to-be-famous bakery, which almost broke down; the boss would be some cold-genious baker, who ended up with one of his ordinary workers; love triangle; unrecuited love; and so on.

I was NEVER so wrong before.

It took me 3 years to finally touch its first episode. What makes me decided to watch it, you ask? It's Joo Won! Well, to be honest, earlier this year I almost watch KTG after I finished "Flower Boy Next Door" (another drama with Yoon Shi Yoon and Park Shin Hye as the leads). Yes, Yoon Shi Yoon almost became the reason I watch KTG. But his charms wasn't enough to make me take down all its 30 episodes.

Later, when I'm already owned by Joo Won and I've watched everything of his but this one, I finally clicked the 'play'-button. I thought, I have even seen all 58 episodes of "Ojakgyo Brothers" for Joo Won, why couldn't I watch a 30 episodes drama, which was his first work on TV and was so famous, it became his 'small' breakthrough. Actually, I was a little bit afraid, that I might hate him after watching KTG because he's supposed to be the bad man. But again, I was wrong! xD

It is actually a story about life itself with breads and baking on the background, of course.

My Addiction to K̶o̶r̶e̶a̶n̶ ̶D̶r̶a̶m̶a̶s̶ Joo Won ♥

I may live in Germany right now, an official western country where people naturally have blonde hair, high nose, and deep green eyes. BUT, this asian minds and heart of mine still and will always be captured with those beautiful people in our huge eastern continent. Yes, those handsome, dark haired and small eyed men out there. To be exact, they live in Korea. 

I know, I might seem not so patriotic to be completly crazy-freak over men from another country, sooo much more, instead of any indonesian actors (hey, I love Nicholas Saputra and... Nope. Just him). Who's to be blamed? If only indonesian actors and actresses have like a half of dedication these actors from Korea (or any other country with blooming, successful film industry) in any of their works, I might turn my eyes and watch them a little bit more. And also these indonesian film makers should be more creative in making stories. I mean, most of time I could guess the story just by seeing the uncreative titles. 

To be fair, not all indonesian cinematographers are sucks. Some of them are exellent, that means they don't do TV-dramas or, just like we call it in indonesian, sinetron. There are many indonesian movies worth watching. :)

Anyway, I'd like to write about my recent KDramas-addiction. 

Quote: Bridal Mask

Hey, this is one of the best quotes in Bridal Mask. 

-Episode 14

In the underground room, where the people are tortured, Lee Kang To asked Damsari about the reason they insisted to fight againts the Japanese Empire, although all of their forces seemed to be useless. 

"Isn't that like hiting a boulder with an egg?" said Kang To. 

And here is how Damsari answered: 

"I suppose it looks reckless of course.
One eggshell, such a trivial thing, will probably just shatter on the boulder.
However, no matter how strong a boulder is, it's dead.
While, no matter how weak an egg is, it's alive.
As time passes, a boulder will break and become sand.
But, someday, a chick will hatch from an egg and step on that sand." 

It makes me thingking about my life so far and all of the hardships. It tells us not to give up and keep fighting because someday, the good time will surely come.. :') 

King Of Baking, Kim Tak Gu - Goo Ma Jun and Shin Yu Kyung Cuts Collections

My favorite couple is here!! xD 

Although the drama was aired like 3 years ago, I've just finished all 30 episodes 2 weeks ago. 

It's. Really. Highly. RECOMMENDED!!!

More infos about the drama King of Baking, Kim Tak Gu

For the first time, I support 100% the antagonist character, Goo Ma Jun. It's bias, of course, because it's Joo Won!! Damn, his acting skills is undoubtly classy and real good. 

 *SPOILERS ALLERT*

Though majority hope Yu Kyung will end up with Tak Gu, I sincerely hope she'll choose Ma Jun. And thank God, she does! I can't explain how happy and satisfied I was :'D.

Ma Jun has experienced such difficult pain since his childhood, I can't imagine how he'll be if he didn't get Yu Kyung. He deserved to be happy!!

Good Doctor cut Ep. 18 (ENG) - If I Were

I'm so speechless, trying to explain how I feel about this scene... 

It's just so sweet, yet sad. 

You know, when everything started with "what if".

Just how beautiful it will be, if...

But the fact that her feelings has overcome all of his flaws, it's totally wonderfully beautiful. :)  

So happy for Park Shi On and Cha Yoon Seo :P

Cheongdamdong Alice (A Little Review)

"Do you believe me?"

"I will try hard (I am not 100% confident)"

"Do you understand me? (I also can't understand you completely)"

"I want to understand you (For the first time, someone other than me)" 

"Winston Churchil once said, that an immature person says: I love you because I need you. But a mature person says: I need you because I love you. I need you. Because I love you. Now I can't distinguish it either."

-Cha Seungjo and Han Sekyung, Cheongdamdong Alice

It's unusual, but weirdly I love it. :)

***

I've just finished the 16-episode K-Drama "Cheongdamdong Alice". Some dialogs are just too good to be left alone. LOL. People may not understand the meaning, if they didn't watch the series. 

Anyway, I find the story rather interesting and different. It's not like the common comedy-romance, which we all can guess the plot. It's more honest, I think. It's not just prince and princess' fairy tales, where everybody loves unconditionally and "all you need is love"-kinda thing exists. 

Long story short, I really like it (Moreover, there is Park Shi Hoo as the lead. Hohoho...).

Cha Tae Hyun: OMIJA

Family Outing (Season 1) Episode 66
Guests: Cha Tae Hyun, Jang Hyuk

In this episode the Dragon Brothers (Cha Tae Hyeon, Kim Jong Kook, Jang Hyuk) are together xD. Love them so much! 

They're playing the screaming challenge. Everyone had to scream 'omija' (a kind of fruit they picked that day)  as loud as possible. The winner was the one who screamed with the highest decibel and would be the 'Dinner King', which means he didn't have to work at dinner preparation. 

Cha Tae Hyeon, who also known as the laziest guest, won the challenge and become the Dinner King. 

This part always makes me laugh no matter how many times I've seen it. 

Like like like!!! XD
