Summer Drama..."Resurrection"

I am just speechless…I feel like no matter how much I will write, it can’t describe how much I LOOOOVED this drama. The only drama that made me cry countless tears, I don’t remember crying this much for a drama. Even “Tree of Heaven”, the one I cried a lot in, did not match this one.

The title tells it all! It did not contain only romance but also mystery and revenge. The main character is Hae Uh, a devoted detective who knew nothing about his past. He was brought to a man when he was a kid and from that day on, he lived with that man and his daughter.

But one mystery murder which looked like a suicide turns everything upside down for the detective. He discovered that this suicide was related to an accident happened 20 years ago. Through Hae Uh investigations, he realized that the man who died was his father! Besides, he got to know more about his family and that he had an identical twin brother.

The day he met his brother, unexpected turn of fate occurred. The two brothers were above the clouds to see each other since they were separated at the age of 7. Hae Uh was in his father’s car when the accident happened, Hae Uh survived…but it was not an accident, some people arranged it to be like that. The happiness did not complete because GANGESTERS killed his Hae Uh twin brother mistaking him with Hae Uh.

The brother went crazy when he was holding his brother’s body in his arms swearing that he will get revenge for him and his father. So, he lived his brother’s life as a vice president of his stepfather’s company. He was acting exactly like his brother and taking down those MURDERERS one by one. as he said “A circle always have an end”… “It’s different for someone who went to hell and came back”… “Step by step, one by one”

I was thrilled the whole time watching this drama. It was 24 episodes and I finished it in 4 days…I could not stop! I felt so bad when the brother died but I was supporting him in his revenge…because it was something he should do SOMETHING about it. Though the idea of revenge is kinda bad but evil should never win…an eye for an eye!

A Dream...Back to the Old Campus?

I was having dreams about the university from the very first day of the summer vacation. I wanted to go back there so bad! Because of that, it was not a really big surprise for me to have dreams about the university from time to time.

I once dreamt that it was the first day on campus after the vacation. I was with my bus mates when an idea approached us. We thought about going somewhere else before we head to the campus. Then I saw myself with some of my friends, standing in front of the old campus’s gate… it was our destination.

There was a surprise waiting for us. I found out that many of my other friends, who are not from UAQ, were there! It was amazing to meet them in the old campus without even planning for it. “It’s a dream I know, but it felt so good”

I was so happy being there in the old campus, looking around the place. It was the same nothing was changed; even the coffee shop was still in there. I wanted to take some photos but my phone was almost out of charge. I asked “R” who is famous for her love of photography to take some and share it with me later. She did not only take photos, she also videoed.

A year passed since the ZU community moved to the new campus. I always wanted to visit the old campus but there was no chance. But even if it was just a dream, it felt good to go back to the old campus.

Summer Drama..."One Litre of Tears"

I have many friends who are so devoted to Asian dramas. Sometimes we share our thoughts and opinions about some of them. I was hearing about that very sad drama which should be in my must-watch list…Sl once said “You have been watching dramas but you did not watch that one! Is it for real?”

I was keeping in mind to watch it as soon as possible and I did. It is called “1 liter of tears” … the title itself shows that it’s a really sad drama and it actually was. It’s a Japanese drama based on a true story. A 15 years old girl who was suffering from a disorder disease is the main character in the story. Her life had a complete twist after she heard the news. “Why did this disease choose me?” was her first reaction.

She fought hard against that disease. Her doctor asked her to keep writing her diary about it. And based of that diary there was this dramas.

Though my friends said that I will cry A LOT! I actually did not, I was feeling really sad for the girl but I never cried! But while I was watching the final episode, I could not handle it! I cried!!! It was so touching! No wonder then why it was called “One liter of tears” ….

Really sad but the way she fought against it and the words she was writing in her diary were really moving! The thing is that he diary was later on published to the public and sold 19 million copies! She reached people’s heart with her diary … she was really brave regardless of her incurable disease…

Summer Drama..."Witch Yoo Hee"

My friends Sakura, Memo and Roona recommended this Korean drama for me. At the beginning, I did not really care much because I was watching many others besides the ones on my must-watch list. At the end, I ended up watching it and enjoying every bit of it.

Yoo Hee was a business woman who was running an advertising company. She was known for her cold unfriendly scary attitude. For that, he colleagues at work called her “Witch”. Whenever she was arranged for a blind date, she ended up being rejected by the other party. It was the first time to watch a Korean drama having three guys loving one girl! She wanted to fall in love and it actually happened when she met a cheerful guy.

This cheerful boy’s dream was to become a skilled chef. Besides, turns up to owe some money for Yoo Hee. He had no choice but to work for her as her housekeeper and fashion coach, all that was written in a contract according to Yoo Hee’s condition.. He started changing Yoo Hee into a beautiful woman. Her long hair became short, her cloths became colorful instead all in black, her glasses were replaced with contact lenses and her attitude changed thanks to some tips from him.

Yoo Heed did not fall for him from the beginning because she had some feelings for her first love, a successful doctor. This doctor was only around Yoo Hee because he wanted to achieve something, the poor girl had no idea. I personally did not like him; he was not an honest man but a devil full of devilish tricks.

The last guy is “Jonney” a famous chef and Yoo Hee’s friend from the U.S. Yoo Hee always considered him as a best friend but secretly Jonney had some feelings for her. When the cheerful guy worked for Jonney as a chef assistant, he would realize Jonney’s feelings for Yoo Hee. So, he tried his best to set Jonney with Yoo Hee. I liked Jonney, he was really kind hearted person with a heart of gold and a killer smile!

I strongly recommend this drama. It was so so so funny but dramatic in the last episodes. I enjoyed it a lot!!! One of the dramas that I won’t mind watching again. Really COOL!

Glasses!!

My eyes were hurting me for days since the beginning of July. I assumed that the reason behind it might be not having enough sleep. It was because of trying to adjust to the new system of waking up early in the morning to go to work. I wanted to recheck though; I thought that maybe something new might came up.

I took permission to go to the hospital from my manager. I went to the hospital with my auntie. It’s been a really long time since I went for a check up…almost a year! My doctor was off that day but another one was around. He checked on my eyes and demanded that I should wear my glasses again.

During the last year, I forgot completely about my glasses. Since it was required, I went to buy a new one. It’s been three weeks since I started wearing them again. At the beginning, I was feeling dizzy accompanied with headaches for couple of days but now I am dealing.

Never expected to wear glasses again, I don’t really like them anymore. But for my own benefits, I should wear it no matter what!

2007 Summer Job

When summer first began, I was feeling really bored and had nothing much to do. I wanted so bad to do something useful with my life…I was waiting for someone to call and tell me that I got a summer job. Nothing happened until the beginning of July.

I received a call asking me to start working in the following day in the NBD. I was so happy about it, I felt like I will get a lot of experience out of it and I was right.

When I first started working, I found it harder than I thought! I always thought that banking is the easiest part in business! I was wrong! It’s like any other serious job that requires hard work, concentration and a lot of attention. With the passing days, I got to know more about banking. I even got used to the daily tasks I used to do during the mornings and afternoons which I was not familiar with.

The staffs were really helpful! They answered all my questions and I would never forget their kindness and the way they treated me. I was saying “If I am to work with such a staff later on my future life, I would never go on vacation!” besides, I realized that learning from the work environment is much better than only theories! I believe because of that we have something called “Internship” in our last semester.

I had a good experience for a whole month. During it, I learnt how to deal with some problems and to be really patient in certain situations. Now, I am back to my usual life …nothing much to do…but looking at the bright side, “Less than one month and I will be back on campus”

Summer Drama..."Love Contract"

Underwater is the main environment for the second Taiwanese drama I watched for this summer. It tells the story of Ken and Xion Fong “not sure of her name”… completely two different people.

Ken is a teenager who enjoys diving and painting. He is famous in his college for being the captain of the swimming team…a captain without a team; he is called “Sea Monster” because of his love for the sea. His father left his mother when he was a little kid. Since that time, he took care of his mother who was suffering from some kind of a disease.

Xion Fong is known for her stubbornness and rudeness! She always acts like a “tomboy” and never allows herself to fall in love. The reason why she was afraid of falling in love is because of a scar on her back which made her so uncomfortable. She spends her time between studying and running her family’s internet café.

Xion Fong’s friends wanted her to fall in love. They made a deal with Ken saying that if he agrees to go out with Xion Fong, they would be part in his swimming team. He agreed to the deal which was called “Love Contract” …Ken first agreed to it because it was only a contract…in no time, he fell for Xion Fong and same happened to her…the big question was “What will happen once she knows that it all began with a contract?”

Summer Drama..."To Marry A Millionaire"

The storyline of this drama was kind of familiar especially in the first couple of episodes. I heard about a TV show long time ago but I never thought that Korean dramas will adopt the idea of it.

The story is about this normal average worker who was offered to be in a live TV show. His rule was acting as a millionaire. There would be 8 ladies joining him in the show and at the end he would choose only one. But what happens when one of the ladies is the millionaire’s first love! The one that he loved dearly but rejected him!

The main girl is just so mean! She kept rejecting him and calling him names! Without realizing it, she started falling for him. During the TV show and after it…we will see how the relationship between the two develops.

I hated the main actress at the beginning; I could not stand watching how she was humiliating the guy! On the other hand, he was not saying anything, he truly dearly loved her! When she asked him why he treated her so kindly, he said “This is the only way I can feel for the one who I had beautiful memories of in my mind” …that is just so sweet.

The main guy is an innocent young man who does his best to support his family. For that, he could not reject the offer of being a fake millionaire in a TV show. I could not believe how caring he was … for his family and for his love.

Both of them were poor, but the love they shared later made everything worth it…through happiness and tears, they made their way in life…another cool Korean drama :D
