Kim Yuna in Vancouver Olympic Game

Yes, it's true that all koreans expected a lot from her. It's because she's a good ice skater so on her Olympic Game performance, all eyes are on her. But her score is more than to our expectations. She's not only a good player but she's great! She skated, dance, and jumped perfectly no wonder why she broke the Ice Skating World Record again. That was a fantastic performance.

Mao Asada and Joanne Rochette also did great but no one could compare with Kim Yuna. You think i'm exaggerated here but you would believe me if you saw how she performed.

There they are! The figure ice skaters of the Olympic Game 2010 that was held in Vancouver. A time to give the awards and sing the Korean National Anthem. One of the most exciting and touching moment.

The score of the Ladies Figure Skating. Can you see the gap of their score? Isn't she really great?

Korea and Koreans are very proud of her! She's the Best!

After winning the gold medal, koreans got panice buying all the products of her commercial like milk, car, etc..And the same earrings the she wore were sold out at the department store.

Last Episode of Gongsin

The few last episodes of the drama Gongsin or Kongbu Ui Sin has full of emotions. There are lots of touching scenes like when Pul Ip (Go A Seong) was abandoned by her mother and when Hwang Baeg Hyeon's (Ryu Seung Ho) grandma was hospitalized. Also when someone failed or passed the exam, tears always fall down. As we know, they were the five least among the 500 students so they made a special class and their goal is to send them to Cheon Ha De (Cheon Ha University) "Seoul University".

Today was the last episode of the drama. They took the test. Everyone was in front of the computer to check the result. You can see the different emotions from their faces. Everyone was puzzled including me. Oh Beong Gu (Lee Chan Ho) went out of the room first to meet his teacher. He cried and collapsed. Pul Ip went out next to say that Beong Gu fell down because of happiness. He passed the exam and so did Pul Ip and Baeg Hyeon. Na Hyeon Jeong (Ji Yeon) failed. Heong Chan Doo (Lee Hyeon Woo) was sitting in front of the computer and everyone was waiting for him to tell something about the result of his test. Kang Seok Ho (Kim Soo Ro) said Chan Doo didn't failed or passed the exam. Chan Doo told them that he hasn't thought of which school to go yet. He talked to his parents about his plan. He asked their permissions if he could take a rest on his studies for a year because he wanted to become a dancer. His parents were shocked but gave him freedom to do what he want.

Baeg Hyeon decided to study to Tae Pyeong University instead because he wanted to become an Oriental Doctor. Not only because there is no Oriental Doctor course in Chon Ha De but also he thinks that it's a big burden for his grandma if he will study in that school.




It is one of the touching scenes. When Seog Ho left the school and the students and staffs cried. He made his promise if the five students didn't passed then he would leave so he resigned and went back to his former job as attorney. He's helping the poor people in a small town. Beong Gu and Pul Ip studied in Chon Ha Dae. Baeg Hyeon studied in Tae Pyeong Dae. Chan Doo is learning how to dance and Hyeon Jeong joins the art class. She's very good at drawing.

Han Su Jeong (Bae Doo Na) is teaching fun English to students. She makes her class intesting and fun for the students. Jang Ma Ri (Oh Yoon Ah), the boss is now focusing on the special students because she thinks that Seong Ho would make his promise to come back if there were 10 students joined.

For the last scene, Hwang Baeg Hyeon delivered tangsuyug (sweet and sour pork) in Seong Ho's office. Seong Ho said he might made mistakes because he didn't order that food. He couldn't recognize Baeg Hyeon because his cap covered his whole face. Baeg Hyeon said that was for free. They looked at each other and smiled. And that's how it ended.

Last Episode of Will it Snow for Christmas?

Will it Snow for Christmas? (Christmas ae nuni olkayo?)I saw the first consecutive part of the series but I didn't like the middle part of the story. Always the same stories happened and it's too boring to see their parents who had relationship before. You know Han Ji Wan's (Han Ye Seul) mom and Cha Kang Jin's (Go Soo) mom were friends and fell in love with the same guy, Han Ji Wan's dad. But the last part is so wonderful. It's very touching and romantic.

They knew that Ji Wan's mom was just pretending to be sick. She knows everything and pretending that she still has a problem with her memory. She kept treating Kang Jin as his son but she couldn't hide it anymore when she saw Kang Jin and Ji Wan hugging each other. She said she kept pretending because she's against their relationship. She hates Kang Jin because she believed that her son and husband died because of him and his mom. She hates his family.

But before Ji Wan's mom told the truth about her condition, Kang Jin already knew about it. But he also pretended because he doesn't want to give up Ji Wan. Kang Jin kneeled down in front of Ji Wan's mom crying. He said he accepted what people said against him for taking care of her but he did everything for her because she loves to Ji Wan. Ji Wan was standing at the door crying and listening to them. She lost her energy and sat down when her mom told Kang Jin that she could forgive him and his family if he would leave her daughter. Kang Jin disagreed then she said then I would never forgive you and your family. He had no choice so he left the house with his heavy feet and shoulders.

The next day, Kang Jin and Ji Wan met to say goodbye. They made a promise not to see each other anymore. No phone calls, and no dine out together.

After a year, they met in school but pretended like strangers. They just passed by and didn't talk to each other. But when Ji Wan came home, she cried a lot. Kang Jin was also crying in his car. Ji Wan's mom saw her crying. Kang Jin's mom saw him crying.

Chun Hee (Kang Jin's mom) invited Young Sook (Ji Wan's mom) to come over to her new coffee bar shop. She asked if Ji Wan is doing well and good health because Kang Jin is in terrible condition. If Ji Wan is happy because Kang Jin is not. If Ji Wan laughs because Kang Jin is sad. If Ji Wan doesn't cry because Kang Jin sometimes cries. She also said that Kang Jin is going abroad after a week so Young Sook's hands started to shake. Her hands were shaking because she knows how much her daughter loves him.

One day, Kang Jin went to the river where his father died. Ji Wan's brother also died in that river. He threw away the necklace then Ji Wan came. They pretended that they didn't know each other. Ji Wan asked if Kang Jin lives in that village. Kang Jin said no but he used to. Ji Wan asked if he knows someone whose name's Kang Jin because her mom wants to meet him and have meal with him before he'll go abroad. Kang Jin just listened to her but answering Ji Wan's questions on his mind. He said how's she doing, she still looks good and he missed her a lot. When Ji Wan left, he followed her and they walked together.

And that is the end.

Btw, Boo San's girlfriend got pregnant so Boo San wants to marry her. Lee Woo Jun and Park Tae Jun are also happy with each other.

Kongbu ui Sin

Kongbu ui Sin. Kongbu means Study. Ui means Of. Sin means God. Is Kongbu ui sin means God of Study? Whatever! When I first saw the title, I thought it was a documentary. I watched a bit of the first series but it didn't bother me to watch it over because I thought it's not interesting. But last night, while having dinner, I changed the channel and accidentally saw the interesting part of this drama. The part when the new English teacher came in a very funny costume. The faculty also misunderstood that he was one of the student's mom because he was wearing a blouse with flower on his scarf. He's a teacher who thinks that students learn easily when the class is fun so he uses a cassette player and teaches the students with songs related to his lesson.

Kongbu Ui Sin is a mini series about the students who are not good at studying and the teachers are doing their best so the students can attend to a very good university. They teach the students some strategies on how to learn easily. What is good about it, they also give some ways on how to study at the end of the drama.

This drama is good so I hardly recommend specially to students. The drama is not only about studies. You won't get bored watching it because it's also a combination of romance, drama, and comedy so everyone can enjoy watching it even when you're not a student.

Kongbu ui sin (공부의 신) is a KBS 2 TV mini series and is on every Monday and Tuesday at 9:55 p.m. I think Yoo Seung Ho (유승호) as Hwang Baeg Hyon (황백현) is very handsome.

It was my vacation for 4 days including weekends so I watched the programs on TV where each Broadcasting Systems awarded some trophies to the Best programs and entertainers.

KBC = Jang So Hee (장서회) of Wife's Temptation (Anaeui Yuhok) one of my favorites drama. She deserved the prize.

Last episode of Angel's Temptation

If you enjoyed watching wife's temptation, you'll be also interested in this SBS Melodrama called Angel's Temptation (천사의 유혹 read Chonsaui Yuhok) or Temptation of an Angel. It is on air every Monday and Tuesday at 8:55 and today was the last day of the drama.

The drama started with the revenge of a woman (Lee So Yeon as Joo Ah Ran) because she saw the death of her parents and she knew that it was planned by the boss of the company where her father worked. When she grew up, she seduced and married the son (Han Sang Jin as Shin Hyun Woo) of the family who caused the death of her parents.

Joo Ah Ran tried to kill Shin Hyun Woo through an accident but he survived. Shin Hyun Woo knew about his wife's plan so he disappeared and everyone knew that he died. Without their noticed, he got an operation, changed his appearance (now Bae Soo Bin as Shin Hyun Woo) so it was his turn to revenge against his wife.

And for the last episode of Angel's Temptation, Hyun Woo's mom died in an accident and they thought that it was Ah Ran's fault. Kim Tae Hyun as Nam Joo Seung went to her but he didn't know that the police officers followed him. He argued with her and Ah Ran was trying to escape but she was trapped in a cliff. Joo Seung went closer to her but Ah Ran went away and fell down the cliff and that's the end of her. She died before they found out Hyun Woo's mom went to the mechanic to remove the brake of her car and that's how she died.

Iris

There's another drama on tv that is on every Wednesday and Thursday at 10p.m. of KBS and I'm sure you'll love it. I haven't seen Kim Tae Hui (김태희) on drama for ages so her new drama Iris (Love of Iris) with Lee Byeong Hun (이병헌) is a big hit.

Kim Tae Hui is one of the most beautiful, smartest and famous korean actress and her role in this drama really suits her. Specially her love scene with one of the most hunk and handsome korean guy Kim Byeong Hyun is really awesome. I think they are compatible because they are both famous and good-looking. Except of course their age. hehe...
