Can please review the new KBS drama, The Baker King aka Kim Tak Goo. Thanks a lot~>

SevenEleven SG

Chuno follows the story of Lee Dae Gil, a man of high birth whose family was ruined when Tae Ha, who became a slave after being falsely accused of a crime he did not commit, burns down his house and escapes. Driven by his desire for revenge, he survives his harsh years on the street and makes his name as a slave hunter, dedicated in his pursuit of Tae Ha. Both men become entangled in a love triangle with Un Nyun, a runaway slave who became a nobleman's daughter.

My Rating :

My Review : History remember both glory as well as saddness. As Korea was connected to the mainland, it has a history of being oppressed by Hans, Mongol,Qing and even during Japanese occupation during the 20th century.

Class system, is one evil system that brings despair and unfair treatment to people. Once you're being born into a lower caste or lower class, you are condemned for life. You become slaves oppresed by your "master" for generations to come. This story is about a slave hunter.

Capital Scandal

Na Yu Kyung is the owner of a book store and she is also a lobbyist. This drama is based on the novel “Sad Story of the Capital (경성애사, 京城哀史)” written by Lee Sun Mi (이선미). It portrays a love story that happened in the 1930s. Sun Woo Wan is the youngest son of a rich and famous family and he is involved in the independence movement. Lee Soo Hyun is a Chosun person, who rises amongst the ranks of the government and Cha Song Joo is a famous bar hostess in one of the top class restaurants.

My Rating :

My Review : This is a comdey instead. Maybe I should just read the novel instead. Just as you think you are the most sophiscated person, you fall for the most unlikely and unsophiscated person. I simple bet during one of the drinking session landed him to turn head over.

Stars Falling From the Sky

The drama draws a love story between two co-workers at an insurance company, with Kim playing the company’s whip-smart lawyer. Because he carries the hurt of having been abandoned by his birth mother, he doesn’t easily open his heart to others. The female lead is a 25-year-old employee of the company who becomes responsible for her five younger adopted siblings after her parents meet with sudden deaths.

My Rating :

My Review : More like a fairy tales romance than anything else. Other than a little comedy and entertainment, there's not much to the drama. Anyway I love happy ending.

Is this only for Jap and Korean films? What about other languages? I recently watched the Hindi film My Name is Khan starring Shah Rukh Khan. The theme really reminds me of Forrest Gump.

There are Eng (Ironman), Canto(To catch a thief), Taiwanese , Mainland Chinese, Indian (i'm sorry I can differentiate between Hindi and Tamil) and Anime too although I tends toward Korean and Japanese. Feel free to add yours. If the review is good, I may watch it sometime.

Can put korean variety show here?

Invincible Youth

Description :

Invincible Youth is a variety show that features 7 girls from top K-pop idol groups wherein they experience how it is to live and survive in the rural Korea outdoors. The 7 Girls include Narsha of Brown Eyed Girls, Han Sunhwa of Secret, Hyuna of 4minute, Hyomin of T-ara, Sunny and Kwon Yuri of Girls' Generation, and Goo Hara of Kara

Review :

I'm sure you all know the main attraction of this show is the girls!!! i mean 7 girls from 6 of the hottest k-pop girl groups in one show!!! Where else can you get that, except for 2hr k-pop countdown shows but you don't want to sit through 2hrs of computer cranked out hip hop music just to see some girls do you??

Plus, there's special guests from other k-pop groups to fill in for the girls who has to be away busying with their own careers(you can't expect them to put their career on hold just for this show do you?). Anyway, the format is like a reality show but you won't really see them do too much labour, most of the time just trying to be sexy and to make you laugh cued by the three comedian mcs....

It's now shown on sat 1.40 pm on kbs world..ch 115 for starhub..there's kbs world on miotv too but i dunno what's the ch no. and it's not free like starhub.

Princess Ja Myung Go

A love story about Princess Nak-rang who fell in love with a spy from Goguryeo. She tore the drums of her country so that Goguryeo could attack her country, Nangnang-guk, without warning. However, Nak-rang's love story with Hodong is further complicated due to the fact that Nak-rang's older sister Ja Myung is in love with Hodong as well.

My Rating:

My Review: For history, this drama fails. For romance, this drama fails too. Anyway this drama is about the 3rd/4th generation Goguryeo dynasty.

Prosecutor Princess

Ma Hye Ri is a woman with an excellent memory and ability to focus, which allowed her to pass the bar exam with ease. Despite her talents, she is more interested in being fashionable and dislikes hard work, so she is far from being an ideal prosecutor and has doubts about her suitability for her job. Through her conflicts with senior colleages and struggles with difficult cases, however, Hye Ri gradually matures into a brilliant prosecutor with a sense of duty and justice.

My Rating:

My Review: They must have really runs out of idea to have come out such a title for a romance drama. Anyway it's a litle bit funny and no tears jerking scene for a romance drama.

Heading to the Ground

"No Limit" revolves around Bong-kun Cha (U-Know Yunho) who dreams of playing football for the premier league in England, while he plays in a Korean minor league. While pursuing his deam, Bong-kun Cha narrowly escapes death three times and also falls for soccer agent Hae-bin Kang (Ko Ara).

My Rating:

My Review: Other than being attracted by the actress smile, this drama on soccer is pretty boring and the storyline unrealistic.

The Birth of the Rich

The drama follows the story of a man, Choi Suk Bong, who believes that he is actually the son of a rich father and heir to a chaebol group. He meets Lee Shin Mi, who is actually a chaebol heir but acts nothing like one, with her scrimping and frugal ways. Although they get off to a rocky start, with her help, he struggles towards his goal of attaining wealth.

My Rating:

My Review: What do you look for? the father or the millionaire? Is romance drama is about his search for his long lost millionaire father. The supporting actress put up a better show than the main actress.

How can you insult my Lee Min Ho?! I think his acting skills are pretty good, although I think BOF offered more opportunities for him to act a full spectrum of emotions from angst to frustration to arrogance to falling in love.

I give this drama 4.5 stars out of five. It has a pretty good, substantial storyline. I wish they hadn't made the actress look so ugly with her hairstyle in the first few episodes though. Her look really improved after the makeover.

The OST in this show is terrific too. And I still think of the lovely architecture and interior design of the house they lived in. I'd rank this below Princess Hours though in the category of light-hearted, youthful, and fun-loving romantic dramas.

Kingdom of the Winds

The drama about the life of Jumong's grandson, Moo Hyul, who later became Daemusin.

My Rating:

My Review: I have always love to watch war movies, especially large scale battle scene. Be it ancient or modern warfare. Be it Battle of Normande or Tora Tora Tora, but the best would have been the Chinese version of Three Kingdom.

I bought this drama in Singapore's Poh Kim last week, only because I couldn't get an English-subtitled version in my favourite DVD shops in Melbourne's Chinatown. I tell you, K-Drama, HK-Drama, T-Drama and J-Drama are so much cheaper in Melbourne than here!

I've only watched three episodes so far, simply cause I shoudn't spend my vacation here watching drama! Harharhar!

Seven-11, have you watched "A Man Called God" starring the lead actor here? THe current wave of K-drama in the action / spy thriller category, based on manga, are sooooooo good! "IRIS" and "A Man Called God" are highly recommended. I even gushed to AV about how muscular, yet metrosexual, the male leads are! Drop-dead gorgeous!
