Model Spotlight: Soo Joo Park

• South Korean born, American-raised model
• Debuted in 2010
• Known for her platinum blonde hair

 Korean model Soo Joo Park is becoming a new favorite of mine! A couple of years ago when I was really into the fashion world (once wanted to major in fashion design) I was into the "It" models of that time like Emma Ward, Lily Donaldson, Jessica Stam and Natalia Vodianova etc.. Recently after getting back into my love for fashion, I've discovered this unique model. I use that word because it's not everyday you see platinum blonde Asian models like her. Joo Park has that spark that will take her a long way in the modeling industry. Who knows she might be the next "top" model.

Song of the Moment~ Halestorm~Freak Like Me

One day I happened to "accidentally" listen to this song on the radio, I say that because I was channel surfing and almost missed it. Good thing cause this song couldn't be brought to my attention at a better time. Its the type of song you listen to when your angry and just need that extra "oomph" head banging music to calm yourself down...at least with me that is. Lead by rocker woman Lizzy Hale this group has been on the circuit for the last 4 years, debuting in 2009 with their self-titled album. "Freak Like Me" is from their latest album The Strange Case of...It has become an anthem for me after listening to it for the umpteenth time. There's a part where she says "So shout if you’re a freak like me/ You were born to burn/ This is no disease you don’t need a cure! Which hit me personally as lately I've been going through the "Who am I" and "What am I" phase. Wanting to set myself "free" of the things that burden and truly be myself. And this song is bascially saying "be yourself" don't let anyone or anything stop you. Didn't mean to get so personal but thought I would share that with you guys. Anyways, this is my new hymn its got that punch that has been missing in the rock music world lately. Its about time another female-fronted band gets the attention that they have been getting.

Song of The Moment~Pink~Just Give Me A Reason

 This song........gosh I don't have any words for it. I became a fan of Pink once again after hearing this for the first time. Been a long time fan of hers since I first heard "Get The Party Started" in my cousin's friends house and since then I've adored her. That fierce, don't-care attitude that she possesses draws people and fans alike to her. I have mad respect for this woman, she's been through many things and is still writing songs and encouraging people like me everyday. Enjoy and Happy April!

Tumblrs of the Week # 2

 

 

 If anyone of you all are on Tumblr please tell me so I can check out your blogs! As always have a great weekend and I should have up my next post soon! :)

Thoughts About Blog....

 I've recently been thinking about what direction this blog is heading to, and my reason behind starting it. At first, it was just an outlet for me to talk about the latest dramas I've been obsessed with and the K-Pop music I liked, but overtime it has changed into something more. I've re-discovered my love for fashion again, which is why I started my fashion blog on tumblr instead of on here. Because I wasn't completely sure that I could fuse fashion the way I wanted to for this blog. While the focus will still be on drama reviews, I'm leaning more towards blogging on Asian fashion and the things that I love about it. This will not be a full-fledged fashion blog but will incorporate more fashion, music, and dramas then it has ever before. So in the future, you will see

• More fashion-conscious posts
• More drama reviews
• Even more music interest on K-Pop groups/soloists
• Model spotlights

 I would love to do more fashion hauls because it was alot of fun, so be prepared in the future for more of those! Although I'm still a newbie at this, my biggest goal for my blog is to not only evolve as a writer but as a person too. So, I am sorry to those who might not like the direction I will be going in, but to those who do stick to my blog thank you very much for your support!

Nice Guy.....

I know what your probably thinking, how could I list this one! Well, I never was emotionally invested with this show. That is not to say I didn't enjoy it but maybe it's because I wasn't ready to jump into another drama so soon after Gaskital. Feeble excuse, but its the only reason besides how I couldn't understand the characters actions 90% of the time. I really, really wanted to like this drama, it had everything a good drama needs: suspense, a revenge arch, a love triangle, and drama. The writing was perfect, every line uttered was spot on with the delivery and the actors were super great, especially Song Joong-Ki & Moon Chae-Won. The instant chemistry these two had when they entered on the screen was parallel to Moon Chae's & Park Shi-Hoo from The Princess Man (another awesome drama with Park Shi-Hoo.)
 
Song Joong-Ki did a stellar job with his performance, I got so frustrated and angry with him many times but that's what made his character stand out. He wasn't a good guy (hence the title) but in the end he became a better person, not necessarily a good guy but not bad either. Do I think he sincerely loved Eun Ki? Yes and No. Yes because of everything he went through to help take the company over from Jae-Hee. No, well because for half the drama I thought he was still in love with Jae-Hee. To this day, I doubt he ever stopped loving her as she was his first love. But I can say he loved Eun Ki differently than her. The writers wanted us to believe he loved her but it just never came across that way to me. It was like he was holding himself back from giving his all. A part of him that only Jae-Hee could see.

Eun Ki was a character I could love. Everything about her from her bossiness to her cold-calculating heart I enjoyed. Why? Because she was cool. She never backed down from anything or anyone including her step-mother( who creepily was the same age as her.) And when they put that amnesia arch in the storyline they took away what made the character so exciting. As a reviewer from Dramabeans said "It sucked the snap, crackle, and pop out of her." I never could understand her relentless love for Ma Ru, even after everything that he had done against her, she still took him back. To me it was never love but infatuation. Something about him kept her going back again and again, its like she had a rose-colored glasses on when it came to him. That's what made me slowly stop championing for her and start hating her. I much preferred her with Joon-Ha than Ma Ru because at least we knew where he stood with her. The guy was an open book.
 
One scene that I watched and re-watched over again was when Eun Ki found out that he was in love with her. The emotion on his face was like woooooh! Super intense moment. You could see how afraid he was that she would find out, and as much as Joon-Ha loved her, he knew she didn't feel the same way. He respected her enough to never tell his feelings and let her be happy with Ma Ru. I wonder if she knew all this time how he truly felt for her. Hm....
The ending probably sealed my feelings for the drama. Why did they have to use the amnesia arch twice...in one drama!! I got super happy knowing Ma Ru was going to live and that moment got taken when he had amnesia. Like come on show!!! Needless to say this was one where I probably wouldn't watch it again.
