2010-09-20T02:49:00.000-07:00

KUROSAGI

Kurosaki is a young man whose family was destroyed by swindlers. Despite that, Kurosaki grows up to become a con-artist known as Kurosagi.

As Kurosagi, he swindles other con artists and returns the money to the original victim. He works with the master swindler Katsuragi Toshio even though Toshio had a hand in the destruction of Kurosaki’s family.

Kurosaki's life begins to change when he meets Yoshikawa Tsurara, a young law student who disapproves of his disrespect

of the law. Can she persuade Kurosaki to give up swindling an

d his quest for revenge?

MEI-CHAN NO SHITSUJI

The story revolves around a young woman named Mei, who was rescued as a young girl by someone calling himself her "butler."

With only a vague memory, though, the experience seems like just a dream. But one day, after her parents' accidental death, he appears: Rihito comes from a line of outstanding butlers, and he has been appointed to serve her!

Now her ordinary life has completely flipped, as she discovers that she's actually the heiress to a fortune, and is forced to transfer to St. Lucia Girls' Academy, where all the students have butlers! As a result, her childhood friend Kento decides to enroll in a butler school so that he can stay close to her.

NOBUTA WO PRODUCE

Kiritani Shuji is the popular guy who gets along with everyone, from the jerks to the nerds to the just plain weird. The one person Shuji cannot stand is Kusano Akira. To Shuji, Akira is just plain annoying. He laughs, talks and acts funny. Things heat up when a new student comes to school.

Her name is Kotani Nobuko, a girl who has no self confidence at all and is content at being made fun of and bullied in school. Shuji and Akira come to an accord that in order to make use of their "youth" they will "produce" Nobuko as the next popular girl.

One of the conditions, however, is that nobody should find out that they are working together as a team to make this concept possible. Unveiled here is the story of true friendship between three unlikely candidates who would not have been friends if not given the special circumstances.

BROWN SUGAR MACCHIATO

2010-05-29T00:57:00.000-07:00

Six boys with different personalities and backgrounds are notified that they share the same father. On top of that, they are entitled to a huge inheritance. However, there is only one catch: they must attend the same school and live together in the same house for a year. In the end, they become from total strangers to close brothers, as well as making themselves adaptable to the changes in their life.

However, the six brothers not only have to deal with their uneasiness and dislike for one another, but also everything the ten mean girls (Da Ya, Gui Gui, Ya Tou, Tong Tong, Xiao Xun, Xiao Man, Apple, Mei Mei, Xiao Jie and Ke En) would do to make their school days a living hell for them. Unknown to the other nine girls, Ya Tou is actually the housekeeper of the brothers' mansion.

To add to their stress, someone is after their inheritance, trying to make them break their contract, and is sending people to their school to do so.

Meanwhile, love blossoms among the brothers and their classmates.

Will the brothers band together and successfully pass the inheritance test? Or, will falling in love with their classmates pull them farther apart?

MAIN CASTS:

BANG BANG TANG

Ao Quan (Owodog)

The eldest brother and leader of the brotherhood. Cool, funny, and responsible. He usually acts as spokesperson for the younger brothers. Ao Quan became the class president after he outdid Tong Tong for the boys' justice, but later lost it to Xiao Ma in an election.
He dates the spokesperson for the girls in their class, Da Ya. They separated shortly after she found out about his true relationship to his brothers and Ya Tou, but reunited on Ya Tou's birthday.

Wang Zi (Prince)

The second brother. Calm, smart, and elegant. He tends to act cold in front of everybody. Sometimes, he would take the lead for his brothers when Ao Quan is in a bind, and sometimes he is the cook of the family. He takes admiration in Xiao Xun, who shares his personalities and intelligence, but ends up dating the mischievous Gui Gui!

Xiao Yu (Fabien)

The third brother. His passion for music is the only thing that matters to him, and is therefore in no interest of inheriting his father's money. He has a crush on the class' smartest girl, Xiao Xun, but she despises him for his ignorance. At the same time, he becomes friends with another girl named Mei Mei. After he saves Xiao Xun from a gang of mobsters, her heart is won by him.

Xiao Jie (Lil Jay)

The fourth brother. Sporty and athletic. He lost his memory at one point in the story, but eventually recovers. He has a crush on their housekeeper, Ya Tou, and would always fight with A-Wei for her heart. But in the end, he ends up becoming a couple with the clumsy Xiao Jie after she confesses to him. Their names often cause confusions.

Wei Lian (William)

The fifth brother. Naive and kind, but lacks brain cells. His hobby involves bicycling. Wei Lian has a crush on Rong Jia, who is one older year than him. Though she looks at him as a little brother at first, he eventually wins her heart with his naivety.

Ah-Wei (Wayne)

The youngest brother. Dancer and energetic and hip-hop is his favorite. Of all the brothers, he is the most nonexistent one. Because he and Xiao Jie have a crush on their housekeeper. Ya Tou, they would constantly fight for her heart. He usually pays more attention to Ya Tou even when he is among beautiful girls and is usually more helpful to her than the other brothers. After Xiao Jie begins a relationship with Xiao Jie (a girl student), he seized his chance to confess to Ya Tou.

HEI SU HUI MEI MEI

Tong Tong (Julie Cai)

The former class monitress. She is always tough in front of boys and acts as the girls' leader. She once dated a cool schoolmate named Xiao Ma, but their relationship ended after she found out he was using her for his tricks against the brothers.

Da Ya

The voice of reason. Strong, tough and righteous. She tends to think logical and fair for everybody else. After spending time with Ao Quan, they fall in love. She is the first (after Gui Gui) to find out about the brothers' relationship and contract agreements after she overhears Ao Quan and William talking about it. She was furious to find out the truth the hard way and broke up with Ao Quan. However, they reconcile after a while.

Gui Gui (Ghost)

The most mischievous girl in the class. She can do tricks most people usually cannot. Of all the girls in class, she is the only one who knows of Ya Tou's secret identity and her relation to the brothers.She has been in love with Wang Zi since their first encounter. She was mistaken to have cancer when the health care center accidentally switched her results with another man. It was through this experience that Wang Zi confesses his feelings to her and they become a couple.

Ya Tou (Yako)

The brothers' housekeeper. Kind and hardworking but clumsy. No one other than Gui Gui knows of her identity. The brothers' father took her in when she lost touch with her mother as a kid. Whenever things get messy, she uses her voice to get the brothers in order. A-Wei confessed to her in the final episode, and though she did not respond, her expression was clear that she had thoughts about accepting him.

Mei Mei

Tong Tong's best friend. She has a crush on musician Xiao Yu, but because he likes Xiao Xun, she is torn between happiness and sorrow. In the end, she decides to let him go and help them get together, and is finally able to move on. Aside from being her friend, she is also his supportive manager.

Xiao Xun (Albee)

The smartest girl in the class. Her personality resembles much of Wang Zi's, and because of that, they often spend time together. Xiao Yu has a major crush on her, which prevents him from falling for Mei Mei. Though she did not like Xiao Yu at first, she eventually has a change of heart after he "saved" her from a bunch of mobsters.

Xiao Jie (Mini)

A real klutz and bad at everything she does. She was once picked to participate in a rollerskating competition, but because she couldn't harness even the easiest tricks, she has the fourth brother, Xiao Jie take her place instead. Ever since then, she has had a crush on him, which she reveals in the final episode and the two of them end up dating. Their names would often cause confusions.

Apple

Rich and fun-loving, she is Da Ya's closest friend. In the late episodes, we find out that her family has evoked in a financial crisis, and that she is forced to work to pay for her father's debt. When Da Ya finds out about this, she decides to help her out.

Xiao Man (Chanel)

The resident fortune-teller in their class. She brings her Tarot cards wherever she goes, and her prediction is always correct.

Brown Sugar Macchiato was introduced to me by

my high school classmate Kristine Louise Tud,

me. hahaha :))) coz i never expected that this

series is very fun to watch. yay!:)

it is very comical and has lovable characters,

and i also realized that the names they were

using in the series was their true name. hahaha :)))

i'm lovin' this drama in each minute that i watched

it. hahahaha :)))

i love how the Bang Bang Tang act very naturally,

and also how the Hei Su Hui Mei Mei portray

their roles. LOVE♥

especially Ao Quan, who is always teased by

the other boys that he is a dog. hahaha :)))

it's because pala of his name in english, if

i am right. haha.

at first i thought that the youngest in the

boys group was Ah-Wei, because of his height.

hahahaha :))) but then as i searched them, it

was Wang Zi! and i am very SURPRISED.

when i learnt that they are a band, i immediately

search and watch their videos. and whoa! they're

one hell of a dancer and singer and also a rapper,

coz they always have a rap part in their songs.

hahaha :)))

its also thanks to the series, that i got addicted

to both the boys and girls band. haha. in fairness

they're all CUTE ^_^ yay!:) haha.

it was after a while that i got to watch the

first ever concert of Bang Bang Tang. and i was

like.. TOUCHED.. to their message to each other

and to their fans. at that time, i learned that they

were facing harsh criticisms from the people saying

that their concert will not be filled with many people,

their concert will be a failure, their singing is worst,

they are a weak group and many more. but then,

they just continue with their show and give all

their best to it, even though they knew that

there are people expecting them to make a

mistake. FORTUNATELY, their concert was filled

with many fans and supporters and that is why

they were very grateful to them and also to

GOD for giving them such strength to continue

on fulfilling their dreams. yay!:)

SUCH AN INSPIRING BAND ISN'T IT?

Season 2 had a cool and handsome
3D class leaders namely Kazuya Kamenayashi
as Odagiri Ryu and Jin Akanishi as Yabuki Hayato
hahaha :))) and also both strong! yay!:)

this season's story talks about more
of their friendship and how much they
were willing to sacrifice for each one
of them. it was nice for the writer
to come up with this realistic season 2,
because from it you will learn many
lessons.

i've read forums that tackles about
what season of Gokusen is the best.
for me, all of the season of Gokusen
are greatly and amazingly done because
each season has different kind of story
to show to us. so for me, they shouldn't
fight on to what's better, but, they should
give their support to all seasons of
Gokusen. FIGHT-oh.. OH!

next on the line: Gokusen III :)
yay!:) FIGHT-oh.. OH!
FIGHTING! hahaha :)))

GOD BLESS ^_^

BOYS OVER FLOWERS

2010-05-12T19:47:00.000-07:00

While delivering a student's dry cleaning, Geum Jan Di saves the life of a heavily bullied student at the most prestigious school in South Korea. Her actions soon became public and exposes the bullying within the school, therefore enraging the public. To silence the public's attention, Jan Di is offered a swimming scholarship to Shinhwa High School which she declines but her family forces her to attend.

During her first day at Shinhwa, Jan Di learns of the famous F4 and of the other students' adoration and fixation with the boys in the group.

Gu Jun Pyo

Yoon Ji Hoo

So Yi Jung

Song Woo Bin

Gu Jun Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo, So Yi Jung, and Song Woo Bin are the richest and most powerful kids within Shinhwa and South Korea. Subsequently, they use their power to terrorize weaker students or those they do not like. Jan Di, instead of being impressed, becomes enraged and fantasizes about confronting Gu Jun Pyo, the leader and initiator of many of the bullying acts. She gains courage to confront him when a friend, Oh Min Ji, accidentally spills ice cream on his shoes and he demands the girl to lick it off. Jan Di defends her friend and attempts to reason with Jun Pyo's tyrannical demand. He refuses to relent and demands her to lick it herself. Feigning licking it, she bends down but shoves her own ice cream in his face. Enraged by this, Gu Jun Pyo declares war on Jan Di and encourages the other students to bully her. Jan Di, however, is resistant, refusing to apologize to Gu Jun Pyo, and stands by her decision to fight him.

Ironically, Gu Jun Pyo, having never been stood up to, begins to develop feelings for her. He tries unsuccessfully to woo her as she slowly begins to spend more time with Jun Pyo and his friends. Jan Di teaches Jun Pyo that money cannot buy everything and in order to have real friends, he himself must be real or use his heart, but Gu Jun Pyo still does not understand why someone like Jan Di should dislike him. As the story progresses, Jun Pyo falls deeper in love with Jan Di and she learns how to open herself to his love as well.

Jan Di's best friend, Ga Eul often finds herself in the same place as Yi Jung. Though she finds him attractive, she is initially annoyed by his arrogance. One day, Yi Jung finds Ga Eul crying after she is dumped by her boyfriend. He advises her to let him go, and later, to make her feel better, the two show up to a club in which he is attending. Yi Jung pretends to be in love with Ga Eul to make her ex jealous. He gives her his scarf and walks her home. After this, Ga Eul finds herself smitten with Yi Jung. On Valentine's Day, she waits outside his house, planning to give him chocolates. He shows up with two girls on his arm and on his table, he already has dozens of chocolates from other girls. When Ga Eul is upset, Yi Jung reminds her that their night at the club was only an act, and it's not his fault if she took it too seriously. Yi Jung feels bad, and gives Ga Eul a cake and flowers, when he mistakenly thinks it's her birthday. The two become friendly again.

As love begins to blossom between Jan Di and Jun Pyo, Jun Pyo's mother discovers them and deems it unsuitable. She does everything in her power to keep the two apart, even arranging a marriage for Jun Pyo. The other F4 members and Ga Eul try to bring them back together. Yi Jung and Song Woo Bin came up with a few plans, but they fail. They resort to So Yi Jung and Ga Eul pretending to go on a fake date, which upsets Jan Di because she doesn't consider Yi Jung good enough for her friend. She follows the two around with Jun Pyo by her side, making sure Yi Jung is treating Ga Eul appropriately. At first their plan was successful but because of Jun Pyo's mother, their relationship became strained again.

After their date, Ga Eul finds her self falling for Yi Jung again. Yi Jung feels the same way, but he can't bring himself to admit it, due to his doubt in true love. After a talk with the first girl Yi Jung loved, Ga Eul admits to Yi Jung how she feels about him and asks if he'll go on a real date with her. He rejects her, saying he doesn't date nice girls, foolish girls, or girls connected to his friends. He later changes his mind, and takes her out, though he spends all his time ignoring Ga Eul, and talking to other women. Moreover, Yi Jung takes Ga Eul to his father and tells him to date her. Their date ends with Ga Eul throwing water in Yi Jung's face, but Ga Eul still helps Yi Jung to get safely home when he is too drunk to do it himself.

Other factors keep arising as another member of the group falls in love with Jan Di (which was Yoon Ji Hoo and in a twist of fate, Jun Pyo loses his memory. A girl named Jang Yu Mi who was in the same hospital where Jun Pyo was confined, takes advantage of him to make him fall in love with her. Geum Jan Di never gives up for Jun Pyo to remember his love for her, even reenacting her former acts of defiance. In a last ditch attempt to help Jun Pyo regain his memory, she falls in the swimming pool letting Jun Pyo reminisce his love for her. On Jan Di's graduation, Jun Pyo proposes to her on the cable car at the NamSan Tower where their first date was held. Gu Jun Pyo told Jan Di that he needs to study abroad to fix problems regarding Shinhwa. Jun Pyo asks Jan Di to accompany him as his wife but Jan Di refuses because she has also plans for her future becoming a doctor. The two agreed but Jan Di told Jun Pyo that she will be waiting for 4 years on one condition--if Jun Pyo comes back as a "really amazing man."

After Ga Eul helps Yi Jung decipher the message his first love tried to send him, Yi Jung has a change of heart about their relationship. At his home, Yi Jung warns Ga Eul that he is a cool guy but he's not a nice guy, and Ga Eul tells him that not every nice girl wants a nice guy. The two almost kiss, though they get interrupted. Later, Yi Jung visits Ga Eul to talk about their relationship. Before Yi Jung can confess how he feels for Ga Eul, she cuts him off, thanking him for giving her the chance to not have any regrets about the two of them, since she gave it her all. She leaves him before he ever gets the chance to say he loves her.

The story ends four years later and reveals what happened to the main cast - Yi Jung came back from Sweden where he'd held his art exhibition and visits Ga Eul, who became a kindergarten teacher. Ji Hoo is in the last year of medical school and reopens his Grandfather's clinic. Woo Bin is shown as being happy, but his career is never mentioned in the story. Lastly, Geum Jan Di goes to the beach near the University she was attending to see Jun Pyo. He then propose to Jan Di but the answer was still a question among viewers because when Jan Di was about to answer - Ji Hoo, Yi Jung and Woo Bin arrive saying that they object to the proposal because Jun Pyo and Jan Di didn't ask for their permission first... and they live peacefully.

Soulmate Vs Husband. Boys over flower also focuses on the concept of "soulmate vs husband". When the F4 and Jan Di goes to New Caledonia, Jan Di and Ga Eul enters a fortune-telling area in which the lady insists that she is seeing two men which she identifies as Geum Jan Di's soulmate and husband. Throughout the show, it is never clear who is Jan Di closest too. Even though she loves Jun Pyo, she spends all her deepest sorrows, fears and happiness with Ji Hoo. She has the deepest connection with him. Only at the end during the farewell dance it is revealed that Jan di truly considers Ji hoo her soulmate, even though her love of her life is Jun Pyo. Audience concluded that Jan Di's soulmate is Ji Hoo and her husband is Jun Pyo after Jun Pyo's proposal.

now it's Korean's turn to showcase
their own F4 or BOF

surprisingly, i thought that they
recruited the taiwanese actor, Jerry Yan
to play as Gu Jun Pyo, the korean version
of Domyoji Tsukasa, but not.. because it
is not Jerry Yan but Lee Min Ho, a pure
Korean actor.

they are seemingly alike in appearance,
and no matter what the angle is, they
have the same features. isn't it?
look at them closely and you'll agree with
me. hahaha :)))

it was after a year when i saw Kim
Hyun Joong, who plays Yoon Ji Hoo in
BOF, again.. and it was when i was
drooling over the Big Bang.

i saw a video in the youtube where T.O.P
of Big Bang and Hyun Joong of SS501 were
singing together on a night's award. i learnt
that they were best buddies together with
Jae Joong and Yoochun of TVXQ.

isn't it wonderful that these four young
guys who were with different band were
best friends? O.M.G i was really shocked
to learn this fact. hahaha :))) coz'
of course i never thought that, that
could happen.

when i watched that video, Hyun
Joong is so handsome that i am
dumb-starstrucked with him. his
hairstyle that time suits him very
well and made me fall in love
with him♥ hahaha :))) i never
thought that the angel-face of Ji
Hoo would turn into a HOT GUY.
hahaha :)))

Kim Bum and Kim So Eun was
my favorite couple in BOF and i
am more expecting so much in
their love story, more than Jun
Pyo's and Jan Di's. hahaha :)))

i'm even expecting that they
would be a real couple after
their drama and that there
would be these hot issues
talking about them, but....
unfortunately there were none.
and i'm a bit sad about it. haha.

more dramas' updates coming up!
FIGHT-oh.. OH! FIGHTING!
yay! :) hahaha :)))

GOD BLESS ^_^
see yah!
CIAO!

a real life.

The story of a young, idealistic teacher who enters Shirokin Gakuen with hopes of making a difference in the students' lives. However, Yamaguchi Kumiko is in for a rude awakening when she finds that she will be the homeroom teacher of 3-D, the hardest class to maintain in the school. The students have multi-colored hair, sloppy uniforms, and show absolutely no respect to her. The leader of the class, Sawada Shin is lazy but bright and shows some interest in Yamaguchi when he notices that she is very different from other teachers. The students try to bully her to make her quit, but their attempts don't get them very far.

What the class and the rest of the school does not know is that Yamaguchi Kumiko is actually the 4th generation heir to the Ooedo Group, a notorious yakuza clan. Even though her family would like her to take the title of Ojou when her grandfather dies, they have accepted the fact that Yamaguchi would rather be a teacher.

Eventually, the students learn to respect their quirky teacher because of her devotion to them, and even give her a nickname: Yankumi.

This movie is about the lives of Kim Ji-Hoon and Choi Su-Wan, both 21 years old. Su-Wan is in her second year at university while Ji-Hoon is still in the process of repeating his third year of high school. Su-Wan’s mother works in their family business, selling fried chicken. To help out, Su-Wan earns money by tutoring other children, but often gets fired after hitting the students. Her mother has a rich friend with a son in need of a tutor. The friend, Kim Ji-Hoon’s mother, wants a tutor that will make her son study so that he can pass his exams. This salary is able to pay for an entire semester (half of a school year) of Su-Wan’s college education. Ji-Hoon is always able to attract the girls and draw attention through his love of fighting. He fought at his new high school, Surim High School and managed to offend Jong-Seo Lee, the leader of the triad group at Surim. He was able to attract his girlfriend, Ho-Gyung Yan, through his fighting. He had problems with everyone. Including the entire gang at his high school, he beat up a member of another gang after they took things from his little brother. Besides studying, Ji-Hoon is actually fairly well rounded. As a child, Ji-Hoon was sent to America to study abroad. Due to this decision of his parents, the relationship between Ji-Hoon and his parents is strained. Ji-Hoon’s Father, Kim Bong-Man is threatening to send him back to the USA if he continues to get into trouble with fighting and bad grades. To avoid being sent back to America, Ji-Hoon needs to get at least a 50% on the upcoming mid-term exams. The only problem is that his usual average mark was much lower than that. Will he make it?

Yes, he manages to do it. At the end of the term, he barely ends up with a passing grade (50.1), but passing nonetheless. As a result from a bet that the two, Ji-Hoon and Su-Wan, Su-Wan must dance in front of a crowd during a festival that was taking place. While embarrassed and shy at first, she eventually gets really into dancing and so does the audience. Ji-Hoon is starting to really like Su-Wan at this point and is angry when he sees all of the guys watching her and running up to the stage. Near this point is also when Su-Wan’s boyfriend comes back home.

When spying on the couple, Ji-Hoon learns that Su-Wan’s boyfriend is breaking up with her. The next day, Ji-Hoon shows up at his house and beats him up for leaving her. Later, however, he finds out that the reason that he was leaving Su-Wan was because he was becoming a priest. After the service, Ji-Hoon lets Su-Wan beat him up for a little bit. Once she settles down, he decides to take her sky sailing. This is when Ji-Hoon decides to tell Su-Wan that he likes her. Su-Wan does not know how to respond and pretends she cannot hear him. Later on, they go to an amusement park. Just when Ji-Hoon is about to give Su-Wan a present, Su-Wan sees her close friend at the park with her boyfriend. This is the friend that Su-Wan previously confided in about dealing with this student. Originally, Su-Wan’s friend thought that Ji-Hoon was her boyfriend, but Su-Wan, however, says that she would never go out with him. This makes Ji-Hoon mad and he throws her present into the fountain and leaves.

Eventually, all of Ji-Hoon’s fighting catches up with him. Near the end of the movie, Ji-Hoon has to deal with all of the problems that have been building up. First, his girlfriend is mad and is making him choose between her and Su-Wan. Once he chooses Su-Wan, he isn’t finished. He still needs to deal with the high school gang and the real gang members. Ji-Hoon and Su-Wan manage to run away for a little bit, but they get cornered and Ji-Hoon has to fight everyone on the beach. Once all of the other gang members are down, Ji-Hoon still has to deal with the best fighter of all. Ji-Hoon is at the man’s mercy, but Su-Wan is able to save Ji-Hoon. And then Su-wan and Ji-Hoon drive away on Su-Wan's motor skooter, Su-Wan is driving while Ji-Hoon sits behind and holds her waist and they go off together. In the end the movie ties up with Su-wan and Ji-hoon becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

KOIZORA. KUROSAGI. VIRGIN SNOW.

2010-05-10T00:11:00.000-07:00

KOIZORA

Although some aspects of the plot differ between the film and the drama, the main story line is the same. It is the story of Mika, a schoolgirl, and the dramatic transformation she undergoes when she meets Hiro, a student also at her school who is keen to call her his own. Throughout both adaptations, the unlikely couple struggle to deal with a jealous vendetta from Hiro's ex-girlfriend, Saki, disapproving parents and an unplanned pregnancy. Shortly afterwards, Hiro discovers that his health is deteriorating and makes the painful decision to break up with Mika to keep his terminal illness from causing her pain, but continues to follow her whereabouts through his highschool friend, Nozumu. Mika eventually forgets Hiro with the help of Yu. Through a chance meeting, Hiro's condition is revealed to Mika and she makes a difficult decision to leave Yu to go to his bedside. Having Mika back, Hiro is determined to fight his disease and begins to improve. But during a routine checkup, Hiro's condition makes a turn for the worst and he exchanges goodbyes with Mika and his family for the last time.

KUROSAGI

Kurosagi is about a young man named Kurosaki who had his family destroyed by swindlers (con artists). When Kurosaki grows up, he becomes a swindler named Kurosagi, so that he can avenge his family. Ever since his family was destroyed by swindlers, Kurosagi swindles other con artists and returns the money to the victim.

VIRGIN SNOW

Min falls in love at first sight and finds out that Nanae attends the school to which he has just transferred. Their friendship develops fast despite their cultural and language difference.

Yet when Min's grandmother suddenly falls ill, Min hastily returns to Korea without having the time to explain Nanae the situation.

After his grandmother regains her health, Min hurries back to Japan but Nanae is nowhere to be found. Had his true feelings for Nanae not been apparent to her? Why has Nanae disappeared without a word?

these 3 movies sure shows being DRAMATIC and
ROMANTIC at the same time :D

they also give out lessons about LIFE, LOVE and MONEY

at first i thought that KOIZORA is about a girl who accidentally get
pregnant by a guy and then she will be left alone raising their child
and also i thought that the guy was cruel. well, a typical story only,
but then i'm not expecting that the story would turn out
that sad and touching :(

i followed KUROSAGI the movie after i watched the series Kurosagi,
and it turns out to be both great. the reason why i patiently watched
both series and movie is because the leads are both my favorite
Japanese actors, Horikita Maki teaming up with Yamapi.

i only just know Horikita Maki but then as i read one forum
in CRUNCHYROLL that asks who is their favorite japanese actor
or something, most of the answers are YAMAPI. i saw the pictures
that they post there and i agree with them because he's oh-so-hot-
handsome actor. hahaha :))) and that began my
crush to him and. hahaha :)))

as for VIRGIN SNOW, i watched it because i had
this BIG CRUSH to Lee Jun Ki, after i saw him in the korean drama
My Girl. and it's good that the movie entertained me. he was team
up with Aoi Miyazaki, which became one of my favorite Japanese
actress because of the movie.

i searched about the movie and realized that it was both
lead by a Korean guy and a Japanese gal. hahaha :))) i never
thought that they could come up with this kind of movie and
i'm happy for both are to my liking. hahaha :)))

more and more updates!
hahaha :)))
just wait and see..
yay!:)

GOD BLESS ^_^

A MILLIONAIRE'S FIRST LOVE. DADDY LONG LEGS.

2010-05-09T22:16:00.000-07:00

A MILLIONAIRE'S FIRST LOVE

Kang Jae-kyung is your typical rich kid. He’s arrogant, drives sporty cars, attends the big clubs and rides through school corridors on his motorcycle. As his 18th birthday approaches he’s set to inherit his grandfather’s fortune, but first Jae-kyung is required to transfer to a new school in Gangwondo and graduate. Until then all access to his penthouse, cottage and credit cards is denied. Should he fail to graduate or drop out then he loses everything. With little choice he heads out to the countryside and a small town in which daily life is far removed from what he’s used to.

Shortly after settling into his new home he meets 18 year-old Choi Eun-whan, who just happened to run into him back in Seoul. They don’t exactly hit it off; he’s far too stubborn and cool for school, while she sees hope for him and sets out to make him see it for himself. As they eventually draw closer, thanks to a set of coincidences and school projects they learn more about one another. Once during the rehearsal of a play at the school, Kang Jae-kyung notices that the play is actually like the incident that had happened in his life. His parents had died at an early age and Kang was temporarily kept at an orphanage at Gangwondo, from where his grand father had called him back to his home. Upon leaving, Kang had made a promise to his childhood friend (also an orphan)that he would return again but hadn't until his grandfather's will read that he would have to go to a school in Gangwondo. But by now neither had he remembered his promise nor remembered that girl.

So Kang asks someone about the writer of the play and is shocked to hear the answer to be "Choi Eun-whan." and it is understandable from the movie that he figures out that he had made that promise of returning to Choi Eun-whan and didn't remember it all the while. They then grow closer when Kang Jae-kyung goes to meet Choi Eun-whan and the love story grows but soon a shattering revelation will change these people forever.

DADDY LONG LEGS

Young-mi , is a young woman who has lost her parents and struggling to fend for herself. She receives the assistance of a stranger who pays her university fees and sends her gifts. She affectionately nicknames her benefactor “Daddy-Long-Legs”.

After completing her studies and initially struggling for work, Young-mi eventually obtains her dream job as a program writer in a nationally-syndicated radio station. On top of this, it has been arranged for her to stay rent-free in a nice house that the owner vacated due to health reasons. Young-mi believes that her good fortune is the work of her “Daddy-Long-Legs”.

One day, Young-mi receives an email from the owner of the house. The email was date-stamped to arrive at the house's computer on that specific day, though it was written and sent a year earlier.

The email details a love story written by the unseen owner of the house. The writer confesses that she has secretly been in love with a guy since her school days. In order to be near him, she worked hard to obtain a place in the same course at the institution he was studying in. Although she didn't have the courage to introduce herself, she was happy to see him every day. The writer explains that when he got a job at a radio station, she followed him there. But then she was diagnosed with a terminal disease which would cause her to lose her memory and then die. The writer's greatest fear is not of dying, but of losing her memory, which is why she wrote the email to be sent to herself in the future.

Young-mi is deeply touched by the story and decides to air its contents via the national radio program to locate the young man with whom the owner of the house was in love. The story is serialized and dramatized on the air, quickly becoming an audience favorite.

Meanwhile, Young-mi meets Kim Jun Ho, who works as a librarian in the radio station. They spend time together and Young-mi begins to fall in love with him. Young-mi then discovers that Jun Ho is the love interest mentioned in the email. Young-mi decides to end their relationship, guilty with the knowledge that someone somewhere out there has been in love with him for years.

Young-mi also investigates her “Daddy-Long-Legs”, eventually learning that her current job and accommodations were the decisions of the radio station's director. She confronts him, but it turns out that the director was only acting on behalf of his younger brother, who chose to provide Young-mi with her school fees and asked that she be given her current job and his house to live in. It turns out the director's brother is Jun Ho, who is also the writer of the email. Jun Ho had switched genders when writing the email, and lost all of his earlier memories of Young-mi when they were students together and he loved her from afar; when they met in the radio station's library, it was the first time for both.

Young-mi is devastated by this news. She reconnects with Jun Ho and they spend as much time together before his illness relapses and he dies.

these are two of the best DRAMA movies that
i've ever watched! :D

i promise you, i really got my eyes SWOLLEN from
these movies =,(

A MILLIONAIRE'S FIRST LOVE is my very first korean movie,
and whoa! i didn't know that my first korean movie would have a
sad yet romantic story =(

Waah! i really cried at that time and i can't stop
remembering those moments when i'm all alone crying. hahaha :)))

when i was still a child, there was this program in tv titled "Daddy Long Legs",
i kind of watched it and then liked it. it was so dramatic also, but not to the
point that i will cry. it is full of hardships in life and how Judy Abott face it.

so then when i saw this movie, i thought they will have the same story and characters, but then they were not. most were changed but still some details were known to me, and the GREATEST difference of it is that the movie
made me CRYYY! huhuhu =,(

hahaha :)))

but in the end, i love these movies♥

more updates to come!
kindly wait.. hahaha :)))

100 DAYS WITH MR. ARROGANT. 200 POUNDS BEAUTY

2010-05-09T20:18:00.000-07:00

100 DAYS WITH MR. ARROGANT

After being dumped by her boyfriend just before their 100 day anniversary, Ha-Young (Ha Ji-Won) meets a college guy named Hyung-Joon when she accidentally kicks a can that hits him in the face and causes him to scratch his Lexus. He demands she pay him $3000 on the spot. She escapes from him, leaving her wallet behind.

Hyung-Joon stalks her, demanding money to pay for his car. Since she is a poor high school student Hyung-Joon writes up a "Enslavement Agreement" for Ha-Young in order to pay for the damage to his car. Ha-Young is thrown into a nightmarish slave life for 100 days, running his errands, ie: cleaning his house, carrying his shopping, and cleaning his car.

By accident she finds out that the damage to Hyung-Joon's car only costs $10! She then takes her revenge. However, before she knows it Hyung-Joon shows up at her house as her new tutor! He once again takes advantage of her, but soon Ha-Young finds herself falling head over heels for Hyung-Joon. But what happens when he drops out of her life just when she needs him most?

The original Korean title can be literally translated as "my love, the asshole," or, more roughly, as "my love, the no-manners".

200 POUNDS BEAUTY

Hanna is an overweight phone sex employee and a secret vocalist for Ami, a famous lion seal pop singer who actually lip syncs as she cannot sing. Instead of being famous for her own amazing vocal talent, Hanna hides behind Ami's performance stage and sings during Ami's concerts, and records all of Ami's songs. One day, Ami ungratefully humiliates her in front of the music company's director Sang-jun during his birthday party, knowing full well that Hanna has a crush on him. While crying in the bathroom, Hanna overhears Sang-jun telling Ami that even though they are just using Hanna for her voice, they must be kind to her so she will not walk out on them. Heartbroken, Hanna attempts suicide but is interrupted by a phone call from one of her phone sex regulars who happens to be a top plastic surgeon. She decides to get a head-to-toe plastic surgery instead. The surgeon at first refuses to operate on Hanna, but Hanna threatens to blackmail the surgeon by telling his wife about his calls. Then, Hanna makes a moving speech that she does not want to undergo surgery merely to be beautiful, but for the sake of love and as a boost in confidence, and the surgeon is deeply moved. Hanna puts herself in seclusion for a year as she recovers from the changes.

When she comes back from the hospital, Hanna is incredibly beautiful and slender. No one, not even her best friend, Chung-min, recognizes her. With Chung-min's help, she creates a new identity for herself; she is now a Korean-American from California named Jenny. After auditioning to be Ami's secret vocalist again, she earns her own recording contract instead from Sang-jun, claiming that she is "all-natural". In the meantime, Ami, oblivious just like everyone else of Hanna's new identity, desperately tries to find Hanna so that she can record her own postponed album (since she cannot sing the songs herself) by spending time with Hanna's father who is in a hospital with some mental problems, possibly Alzheimer's. Meanwhile, romance begins to blossom between "Jenny" and Sang-Jun, as he continues to promote Jenny, in effect boosting Hanna's confidence on her new self. However, Ami, through spending time with Hanna's father and Jenny, eventually realizes that this Jenny is actually Hanna in disguise.

During a date one night, as sparks fly, Jenny supposedly stripped for Sang-Jun in the character of a nurse, through a phone sex session. After Jenny has fallen asleep, he sees the African character Jenny had drawn on the glass and realizes it was a sign he had seen before. He remembers that when Hanna still existed and he had not met "Jenny" yet, Hanna had drawn the exact same signs on a sheet of music. Then he adds all of the signs up and realizes as well that "Jenny" is actually Hanna but he keeps this information to himself.

"Jenny's" debut single 'Maria' becomes a hit and the recording company holds a party to celebrate its release. On the day of a party however, Ami brings "Jenny's" father, in an attempt to blow Hanna's cover. Hanna's father tries to return Hanna's Barbie doll to her, which has always been Hanna's favourite childhood gift from him. Startled by the sudden appearance of her father and not knowing how to react in front of all the people, including Sang-jun, Hanna denies knowing her father and calls him a fan instead when Sang-jun asks her if the old man is her guest. As her father keeps on insisting on giving the doll to Hanna, Sang-jun drags him away from Jenny and accidentally knocks him down onto the floor. Desperate to keep her true identity a secret, Hanna made no move to help her father. It was Chung-min who finally helps him up, casts Jenny a furious look and leads Hanna's father away from the party.

After the party, Sang-jun and 'Jenny' were the only ones left in the room. Sang-jun reveals to 'Jenny' that he knows her true identity but is now cold and distant. He seems to be unable to forgive her for lying to him but says that he will still work to promote 'Jenny' and carry on with her concert scheduled the next day. Hanna breaks down at this point, heartbroken and unable to pretend to be someone else anymore. Hanna tells him that it is incredibly frustrating and painful not being able to be just be herself but have to live a lie, especially in front of him. The surgery that took a whole year to recover from was not nearly as painful as realizing that she still could not be close to Sang-jun. As Sang-jun tries to comfort her, she brushed away his efforts saying, "You broke my heart. Tissue paper cannot fix it."

The day of "Jenny's" first concert, Sang-jun still insisted on continuing Jenny's concert, despite protests from the company boss. Later, he encourages a distraught Jenny to do this concert, not for the sake of the fans or the company but for herself, thus implying that he has forgiven her and will continue to support her. At the concert, Jenny couldn't sing and later breaks down from the pressure of seeing her father being dragged away by security and tells everybody to stop. She then reveals to the public that Jenny is a "fake," and that she is not "all-natural", as she had claimed, but is "plastic". However, nobody seems to believe her. She proceeds tearfully to tell the large crowd her story: how she has abandoned everything that is dear to her - her best friend and father - to get to where she is. She also tells the crowd about how along the way to fame and fortune she has also lost her own identity and that she now no longer knows who she is. Just then, the screens behind her on the stage started to show a clip of the old, obese Hanna, singing angelically. Hanna turns around and sees her old image and tells the crowd that the image is the real her. The crowd, moved by her sincere confession, responds by chanting "It's okay," and Hanna rekindles her relationships with her father and best friend. She drops the stage name "Jenny" and re-releases a CD with her own name, Hanna, and becomes a highly successful music artist, gaining many fans and anti-fans along the way. Sang-jun realizes the very thing about Hanna that had always drawn him to her was Hanna's innocence. However he also realizes that she has moved on and is now content with who she is.

At the end of the movie, you will see Hanna's best friend, Chung-Min asking to also get head-to-toe plastic surgery.

both movies were GREAT! :D

100 DAYS WITH MR. ARROGANT is a comical and romantic movie,

FULL METAL-PANIC.

2009-03-07T16:34:00.000-08:00

The anime begins with Mithril disrupting military attacks in a Baltic nation. The leader of the Baltic military has somehow acquired advanced weaponry, most notably anti-ECS missile (missile able to detect systems with ECS invisibility). Due to these setbacks Sousuke must use the Arbalest to destroy the missile installations to allow the helicopters filled with refugees to escape. Since the end of the first series Sousuke has learned how to better control the Arbalest's Lambda Driver, but only slightly. In the following episode we are introduced to the main villain of the series, Gates. We later learn he is an operative of Amalgam, a mysterious organization that seems to be an opposite of Mithril. Causing terrorist acts, rather than preventing them. They are the organization that provided the Baltic army with these new weapons. We are also introduced to Xia Yu Fan and Xia Yu Lan, twin sisters who initially seem loyal to Gates.

Following this we are presented with a short school related side-story, and then Mithril begins it’s next mission in Nanjing. The purpose of the mission is to rescue hostages taken by Gates and are being held in a sewer-like facility. Due to communications problems transmitters will be used, which requires the help of one of Mithril’s scientists, Vincent Blueno. Before the operation Sousuke asks to use an M9 as opposed to the ARX-7 Arbalest. His proposal is denied as he is the only one able to pilot the Arbalest, this begins Sousuke’s hate for the Arbalest and it’s unreliable Lambda Driver. During the operation, Blueno leaks the radio transmissions to Gates who uses it to his advantage. During the mission, Kurz Weber struggles against Xia Yu Fan, piloting the only Zy-98 Shadow-type Arm Slave in the battle, while Melissa Mao and a team of Mithril's infantry deal with Xia Yu Lan, who posed as one of the hostages, and Sousuke is left to face Gates, who is operating a Venom-type Arm Slave. By using a quickly thought out plan after discovering they were being bugged, the De Danaan is able to use the radio information against Gates and lures him into a trap of their own. The terrorists are forced to flee when Gates's Arm Slave overheats, but the operation is still successful.

Following this, Vincent Blueno also escapes and is followed to Italy, at Canicatti, where he is brought in by Mao and Kurz, with help from Sousuke. After being tortured, Blueno admits to being hired by Amalgam. It is here that Mithril first discovers the name, and even the existence, of the opposing organization.

For Sousuke to assist Mao and Kurz in their mission to capture Blueno, he leaves school yet again, adding to his string of absences. Kaname becomes worried about his grades, and Mao also worries over his future. Sousuke begins to reflect upon his life and begins to realizes he needs to start thinking ahead. It seems he decides he would like to remain a student. This is shown when Kyoko points out the fact that his hair has grown long and rather than cutting it himself he opts to go to a hair salon, like a normal high school student would. However, being his first time, his instincts again work against him and he ends up mistaking the haircut for another trap. This leads to Kaname offering to cut his hair for him and a touching scene is presented where Sousuke realizes how much Kaname is depending on him. The episode ends when Sousuke (who is beginning to realize his feelings for Kaname) is ordered to withdraw from guarding Kaname immediately, with all guard duties being entrusted to another agent, codenamed "Wraith."

After being called back, Sousuke falls into a slight depression, not wanting to pilot the Arbalest and wishing he were back at Jindai High. We are introduced to the new Uruz-1 (Urzu-1), Lieutenant Belfangan Groseaux. He tests Sousuke’s ability with the Arbalest, a test Sousuke fails miserably to the extent that Groseaux described Sousuke's moves as "Skilled but not artistic".Meanwhile Kaname is becoming increasingly suspicious that someone is following her. She discovers that Sousuke has left for good and realizes she is now completely alone. She decides to find out who is following her, and through a series of events discovers Wraith, who informs her that aside from himself, someone else seems to be following her. We discover this person is Xia Yu Lan, the younger twin. She shoots Wraith and then attacks Kaname. Kaname escapes, but is pursued and manages to surprise Yu Lan and shoot her with a Taser. After this she is met by Leonard Testarossa, Tessa’s brother and a fellow Whispered. He is an agent of Amalgam and has orders to suppress Yu Lang. She, however, refuses to comply, stating that she will continue her attempts to kill Kaname no matter what. She then tries to kill Leonard, but one of his bodyguards intercepts her. He then orders it (a miniature AS unit) to kill her. When this is done he expresses that he seems to have fallen in love with Kaname and steals her first kiss, which infuriates her. In exchange for her forgiveness, Leonard allows her to take back Wraith who seems to still be alive.

Back at Mithril the next mission is under way. It seems that someone piloting an AS unit is wreaking havoc in Hong Kong. The AS is equipped with a Lambda Driver and ECS and is piloted by Xia Yu Fan. Acting apart from Amalgam, she has done this at the wish of her Sensei, who we later learn also orders Yu Lan to kill Kaname. These two actions are what prompted Amalgam to kill the younger twin. Due to the ECS, the Chinese are unable to discover the location of the AS. Sousuke, Mao, Yan, and Wu are sent in to find the AS, while the rest of the Uruz (Urzu) team stand by to destroy it when it is found. During the mission Sousuke cannot concentrate due to recurring thoughts of Kaname. These distraction eventually cause him to crash the vehicle he is driving. Mao tells him she won’t work with him unless he can focus. Sousuke realizes he can’t and abandons the mission. Meanwhile tensions between North and South China force Mithril to order an assault on the enemy AS before it is found. While they battle the AS, Sousuke wanders through Hong Kong, eventually meeting a Chinese Woman who resembles Chidori. He goes with her to her apartment, most likely to have sex, but due to her appearance thoughts of Chidori constantly fill his mind. He decides to leave and eventually finds a newspaper that has a personal ad reading “To the son of Bdakshon’s Tiger. Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui.” Essentially we learn that Sousuke was raised by a guerrilla fighter named Bdakshon’s Tiger, the rest leads Sousuke on a paper trail that brings him to the writer of the ad. This person turns out to be Gauron, who survived the self destruction of his AS at the end of the first series. We learn that he raised Yu Fan and Yu Lan long ago and they are carrying out his biding before he dies. He also tells Sousuke that Kaname is dead and pities him for becoming so weak. Sousuke ends up killing Gauron (for good this time), and feels as though he has no reason to live anymore.When the battle with Yu Fan seems like it cannot be won, Tessa orders the Arbalest to be sent to Sousuke to pilot. When it arrives Sousuke has no intention of piloting it, viewing the AS as a piece of scrap metal. As he turns to leave the scene he is confronted with Kaname, who used Wraith to find Sousuke. After beating him up she tells him he needs to pilot the Arbalest and save everyone. Feeling renewed confidence at seeing Kaname alive Sousuke finally realizes that he is the only one who can pilot the Arbalest and works together with the Al to fully make use of the Lambda Driver.

The final episode features the climax of the show with an AS battle between Sousuke and Gates. Gates, having been ordered to kill Yu Fan, decides to take out the Uruz (Urzu) team after his mission is complete. Sousuke arrives just in time and uses the Lambda Driver to its fullest potential.

The Second Raid ends with Sousuke finally understanding what he wants to do with his life: Pilot the Arbalest for Mithril and attend school with Kaname. He works out a deal with Mithril that allows him to do just that. We are left with both Kaname and Sousuke having realized their feelings for each other, but neither of them being able to admit it.

one of my favorite anime..
it's full of action yet its
romantic story can be felt
like it is happening in reality..

Kaname and Sousuke's love story
has not given a concrete proof
in the story, but as they approach
each other, we can say that
they love one another..

MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH.

2009-02-19T02:23:00.000-08:00

Hikari Shidou, Umi Ryuzaki and Fuu Hououji's school has a scheduled educational trip in Tokyo tower. They were from different private schools. When suddenly a beautiful voice of a woman was then heard by the three which seems that, the voice were calling for them.

Suddenly a bright light flashed in their eyes and they fall from the sky in another world called Cephiro. They met Master Mage Clef which explains to them that they were called for Cephiro to become Magic Knights to save Princess Emeraude, the voice they heard back in Tokyo. Master Mage Clef gave each of them power in which they must possess in order to be the Magic Knights.

Hikari, Umi and Fuu first need to go to presea the Master Smith to create their weapons, in which only themselves can touch it. They start their journey with the guidance of Mokona where it supplies all the things and informations they need.

In Cephiro, one's will has the ability to change reality for better or worse. The dark fears in people's hearts become monsters, while a well-intended wish can do miracles. One person, the Pillar, whose will is stronger than anyone else's, is responsible for maintaining through her prayers the well-being of Cephiro.

In the first story arc, the current Pillar, Princess Emeraude, has been captured by her high priest, Zagato. The three girls are charged with the task of saving the Princess by activating the three Rune-Gods . They are given a bizarre creature named Mokona to guide them on their journey. When the girls finally reach Emeraude, they learn that she had fallen in love with Zagato, hindering her ability to pray solely for Cephiro's well-being, and had summoned the Magic Knights to kill her since no one on Cephiro could harm the Pillar.

The second story arc deals with the complications caused by the first season's climax: three warring planets have begun their attempts to conquer Cephiro and a new Pillar must be chosen before the whole planet is destroyed. Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu are once again summoned to Cephiro. In the manga it is later discovered that the mysterious Mokona is responsible for their being summoned back to Cephiro, and he is, in fact, the creator of both the Earth and Cephiro. In the anime they return to Cephiro because of their (especially Hikaru's) strong desire to do so.

Eventually, Hikaru is chosen to become thenew Pillar. However, she rebels against the Pillar system, deciding that the fate o

f the planet should not be the responsibility of only one person, effectively preventing that person from ever being able to live and love freely.Hikaru, Fuu and Umi return to earth leaving everything and everyone behind, even their loved ones.

Hikari Shidou has the magic power of "soul of fire".

When the world of Cephiro needs a new Pillar, Hikaru and Eagle has

successfully prove that they were qualified to be the new Pillar. Eagle is the strongest captain of the machine FTO that came from Autozam, another country, who also wants to invade Cephiro and also targeted the Pillar system.

In the end, Hikaru was chosen to be Pillar of the world Cephiro.She is against on how the Pillar systemworks and she changes it with her own power of great will. She doesn't want to experience another failure of a person who can't love freely like Princess Emeraude, that caused the Cephiro in a destruction. She wants to have freedom to all the people of Cephiro to do everything they want and to feel whatever they need to feel.

Hikaru is lovable person. She has three older brothers who takes care of her and gives her so much love and protection, because they doesn't want to see their little sister to have a lonely face.

Hikaru was defined cute by all the guys she met, especially her brothers.

Hikaru is also an adventurous person. She wants to explore places that she still don't know.

Hikaru became the leader of the three because she possess such strength to defeat their enemies in their strongest point. When they were brought in Cephiro and needs to fight monsters, Hikaru first shows her ability and fearlessness in fighting. And when Umi and Fuu were in trouble, she always give her full strength that will be enough to save them.

Hikaru is such a worrywart person because she always worries about her friends when they get injured in their battles. She doesn't want to see her friends get wounded because she doesn't want to lose them.

Hikaru then fell in love with the younger brother of Zagato, Lantis. They met when Hikaru, Umi and Fuu were once again called in Cephiro.

Umi Ryuzaki has the magic power of "elegance of water".

Umi is an excellent fencing player. In their school, she was taught by her master that she idolized the most.

When they were called in Cephiro, she immediately wants to go back home because she suddenly remembered that she still got a national competition in fencing the following week.

At first, she doesn't want to accept the reality that she and the other girls who were called with her, needs to save the princess of this other world. She is uncaring at this time. She also disagree of becoming one of the Magic Knight. She don't listen to any word Master Mage Clef was saying. And the worst is that she says bad words to the master mage.

She was scared to fight the monsters at first, buthen she saw that Hikaru and Fuu were greatly and mercilessly wounded by the second attempt of Alcyone to kill them, she became angry and gather all her strength to fight Alcyone. She then become a fiery yet beautiful and elegant knight.

In their fight with the young Ascot, she scolded him that he must not follow the orders of Zagato if he really love and treasure his monster friends. If truly he loves them then he should not let them get hurt. Umi learned that Ascot's monster friends were being discriminated that's why Ascot doesn't have the self-esteem to befriend with other people and also the reason why he loves his monster friends so much.

Umi is the only child of a rich family. She loves both her parents so much that she don't want them to get hurt. She is a good daughter to them.

Umi is quick-tempered and at most times, Umi involved fights with Mokona.

The cute guidance of the Magic Knights.

Umi is slightly ballistic at some times.

In their second appearance in Cephiro, three countries want to invade Cephiro and one of it is the Chizeta. Chizeta was being led by the princesses Tatra and Tarta.

Umi was kidnapped by them in a fight. She fought them in a sword fight in order to get back in Cephiro. But before that, she befriends with the princesses, whoalso accept her.

When they were called in Cephiro for the second time, Ascot had already grown up. Umi doesn't know that Ascot always remember all the teachings that he got from her when she was lecturing Ascot on how to show his love for his monster friends. Ascot was secretly in love with Umi.

But Umi, was also secretly in love with Clef.

Fuu Hououji has the magic power of "strength of wind".

When they were sent in Cephiro and was informed by Master Mage Clef the reason why they are in this other world, Fuu greatly understood it, but she is still in doubt of what was really happening.

Fuu is a highly intelligent and also logical. She also states the obvious when she found about them.

Fuu specializes in archery. When she was captured by Lady Aska of Fahren, she deals with her that when she win in the archery battle, she is allowed to go back to Cephiro and when she is defeated, she will stay. Fortunately, she focus herself in the battle so she won. But she still befriends with Lady Aska.

Fuu is a very polite person. She would address a man with Mister and a woman with a Miss.

On their quest to the Forest of Silence that leads them to the place of the Escudo, they met a young and handsome but mysterious swordsman named Ferio.

Ferio help them in fighting the monsters in the forest because they were not skilled enough to face those monsters. He also told them that they might need them in finding the Eternal Spring. But the girls assured him that they can find it by themselves. Actually they have their doubts in the intention of Ferio in helping them.

Ferio first told them that he is just a hunter in search of a monsters. But later on, he told them that he just need them to find his place out of the forest. Hikari and Umi has still doubts of Ferio. Fuu analyze Ferio very well and clearly tell the truth about his real intention.

That day, Fuu realized that Ferio had already made a spot in her heart. And she thinks that Ferio also has the same effect of her in him for he gave Fuu a token i nwhich he said can grant a wish.

On the second appearance of Ferio, the magic knights were be

ing attacked by Ascot. Ferio used the chance in befriending Ascot and he promised Ascot that he will lead the magic knights to the desert where their enemy waits.

As he successfully done it, the magic knights immediately realized that they were deceived by Ferio. Hikari and Umi were very angry and don't understand why Ferio do this to them. Fuu, on the other hand, was shocked that Ferio could do this kind of thing to them. But when they were almost swallowed by the sand, Ferio saved them. Because of this, Ascot made Ferio as a hostage in freeing the magic knights. That night, Fuu couldn't sleep because she was thinking about Ferio. Fuu alone decided to rescue Ferio from Ascot. She managed to save Ferio and before they continue on their journey, Ferio confess his love to Fuu.

at first, it is a very sad love story of Princess Emeraude..

the Pillar can't love anyone because (s)he can lose her focus in Cephiro and that's the reason of the destruction of Cephiro..

I am a bit mad at Zagato, but I learned that he desire to kill the magic knights because he don't want the magic knights to kill Princess Emeraude.

wow! what a teary-eyed and touching love story they have..

not free to love anyone?..

it hurts :(
