I can’t say watching Kim Rae Won’s movie Plum Blossom was a delightful experience but it sure had the major shock-factor to it. Minutes into watching it, I even thought that the movie’s real title is Plump Bottom as I swear there a lot of unnecessary exposure of body parts throughout the duration of the film.
The plot is pretty simple. It revolves around two young young men’s experiences. Nothing fanciful to the storyline,really. Not at all intellectually or even emotionally engaging. But if you are of legal age and really dig ‘first love’ and some other ‘firsts’ in life, then by all means watch it.:)
Still, doing Plum Blossom was a wise career move on Kim Rae Won’s part. Shortly after the release of the film, he won the Best New Actor in the Blue Dragon Film Awards in 2000.

Korean clothing is really big on frills, bows, and laces. Lace-trimmed chiffon tops with ribbon detail are definite closet staples. They come in different colors and designs but share a commonality: timelessness and elegance.
Basing on the pictures I always see in Korean fashion blogs, Korean women like to wear frilly tops with distressed jeans for a relaxed but put-together look. For a more polished look, they go for a dressy top-and-tailored-skirt ensemble.
These chiffon blouses from Mix and Match sell for $62. A bit pricey but if I’ll look good enough to eat , why not?:)
There’s one big problem, though. Many Korean fashion labels sell one-size-fits-all clothes. The model, Mi Young, who weighs 46kg is a size 55 in South Korea. Roughly translated, she is a size 4-6 in US or S using the international standard. In other words, for me to be able to slip on those clothes, I must have a 25-inch waistline on a 5’4″ frame!
Fat chance, huh?

It has been more than two months since Gong Yoo started his military training. Yep, fellow K-drama addicts, he will be gone for a total of 20 months. It makes me quite sad to think that I won’t be seeing any of him until 2009. It is a big problem, really. I think I watched each and every K-drama of his. Those readily available online, that is.
Of all the Gong Yoo dramas, I like Coffee Prince best. Gong Yoo as the hot-tempered but sensitive Choi Han-kyul is so endearing especially with those bulging biceps and really cool hairstyle. Gong Yoo in Coffee Prince is definitely one of the best kissers in K-drama history. Who would forget about that intense kiss he gave Yoon Eun Hye when they decided to do the, er, ‘deed’? Really hot!Another drama really worth mentioning is Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy. Gong Yoo’s role as the high school student Park Tae-in glorified May-December love affairs. He was so cute and endearing in pursuing his teacher (played by Gong Hyo Jin) that it totally melted my heart.
For those who do not have the time to watch 16 episodes of Korean drama, I recommend the Korean movie She’s On Duty starring Gong Yoo and Kim Sun Ah. Sun Ah is her usual funny self and Gong Yoo as the gangster-cum-student Kang No-young is as hot as ever. And yes, there are a couple of sizzling-hot liplocks, too!
