POW:// Lee Jung Shin

There's something about the CNBLUE boys. I fell in love with Jung Yong Hwa while watching You're Beautiful, Kang Min Hyuk during You've Fallen For Me, noticed Lee Jong Hyun in A Gentleman's Dignity (sorry it wasn't love, maybe next time) and now my new bias and Point Of Weakness is Lee Jung Shin who really steals the show in My Daughter, Seo Young which I'm currently watching.

Lee Jung Shin
DOB: September 15, 1991
Birth Place: Seoul, Korea
Blood Type: A
Maknae Bassist, Rapper and Singer for CNBLUE
Model and Actor
He starred in 4minute's Heart to Heart MV
He and Min Hyuk do 99.9% of household chores in the dorms.
In early interviews he said all members shared chores equally.
The rumors of him being gay stemmed from the bob haircut he wore when he debuted.
At 187cm tall, it's hard for him to go unnoticed in a crowd.

Review:// Dil Bole Hadippa! (Heart Says Hurray!)

Close up of Rani Mukerji as Veera

Veera, Rohan and Veer with the film's logo.
This 2009 Bollywood film starring Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukerji has everything a gender bender loving fangirl could want. Confusion, hilarity, romance and beauty. Musicals are not my preference, but when the song and dance is done well, serves a purpose, and is entertaining, I can be won over. Dil Bole Hadippa definitely delivers.

Recap:// Attention Please Episode 11

Misaki has come a long way from her flighty rocker-chick days. She's finally found her dream, suffered through disappointment and failure, but still managed to stay on the same course until the end. What will this new love triangle dynamic do to her? We are soon to find out. I think I'm going to miss this bumbling idiot. I relate to her in many all too embarrassing ways, as I'm sure many others did seeing as how it received an average rating of 16.3%.

First Impressions:// Pretty Man

Pretty Man's hero is loosely based on the main character of Guy de Maupassant's 1885 novel, Bel Ami.
Eels everywhere are rejoicing as Sukkie's long awaited drama finally airs. Pretty Man, known by many names (but we'll get to that in a bit) is based on the 17 volume manhwa, Yebbeun Namja by Chon Kye Young, first published in 2009.

Jang Geun Suk plays Dokgo Ma Te, a beautiful ambitious man who isn't above using women for his own gain. Hong Yoo Ra (Hong Nya Nya in the manhwa), played by Han Chae Young, is a mysterious woman who has been watching Ma Te and will give him the mission of seducing and learning from 10 successful women in order to take his rightful place in life. Kim Bo Tong, played by IU, is an ordinary girl who has been hopelessly in love with Ma Te since their school days and has the challenge of helping him realize true love.

MV BREAKDOWN:// T.O.P: DOOM DADA

My first impression of DOOM DADA was that it seemed a bit one note and it didn't light my fire the way I had hoped it would. But after listening to it a few more times, I have to say that it did get under my skin. It doesn't have a particularly original sound, but T.O.P's voice is intoxicating and the song has a hypnotic rhythm that stays with you.

Recap:// Attention Please Episode 10

Misaki seems to be getting the hang of her job, although for someone like her, that can spell trouble. Over confidence has always tripped her up in the past. Everyone is striving to reach their goals both on personal and professional fronts, and even failure brings them one step closer to where they need to be.
