Así parece ser. Actualmente se transmite los sábados y domingos un drama coreano de cuatro hombres cuarentones: su amistad, sus relaciones amorosas, vida profesional, etc. Quizás no parece nada interesante, pero esta comedia romántica te cautivará. Un arquitecto soltero comparte con su amigo ingeniero una compañía de construcción q después de varios intentos, por fin están teniendo éxito. Ellos tienen otro amigo, un abogado divorciado q fue abandonado por su esposa y todavía la espera y el último, está casado con una mujer mayor que él, pero siempre ha sido un mujeriego; le coquetea a todas sin importar la edad, pero mientras más jóvenes, mejor. La vida de estos hombres se complica cuando entran mujeres a su vida.
    La palabra clave aquí es: crush. La hermana menor del ingeniero tiene un crush con el abogado desde que las hormonas empezaron a trabajar en ella. Obviamente, el abogado no la corresponde: uno, porque él le doblega la edad y dos, porque su amigo no está de acuerdo con esa relación.Eso no quita que no parezca interesado. La maestra de secundaria de esta chica tiene un crush con el ingeniero, pero este es novio de su roommate. Por lo tanto, ella oculta a todos sus sentimientos. La única que lo sabe es la hermanita del ingeniero. Ahora, la maestra tiene unos encuentros poco usuales con el arquitecto que lo llevan a él a tener un crush con ella. Aunque sabe que ella está enamorada de otro, él sigue amándola y tratando de enamorarla a su manera, que por cierto, no es la mejor forma porque su sinceridad la ofende. En todo este dilema que pito toca el mujeriego?
    El mujeriego es dueño de una cafetería y un bar cachendoso, pero su esposa es la dueña de los edificios donde están la compañía de construcción, la cafetería y el bar y la oficina del abogado, así como los apartamentos de todos ellos. Así es cómo estos amigos cuidan mucho este matrimonio para no perder sus negocios ni hogares.
Hasta ahora, no les parece entretenida?
    Para que se terminen de convencer les diré lo que me gusta del drama. El que la escribió realmente ha desarrollado bien la historia. Cada episodio empieza con algún suceso del pasado de estos 4 amigos o cosas que hacen juntos. Esto ayuda al espectador a entender la relación entre ellos, es decir, a conocer mejor a los personajes y entender su comportamiento. Este principio no tiene nada que ver con el episodio, así que quizás, al principio pueda confundirlos. Peor hay que estar atentos, puede ser que les den algunos hints de los que pasará más adelante. La comedia es sencilla: situaciones masculinas. Hombres ligándose mujeres, gente que se emborracha, situaciones en general que pueden ser graciosas. En otras palabras, se reirán muchísimo. En cuestión de lo romántico, tengo que decir que es bien cute. Especialmente la relación entre el arquitecto y la maestra. Estos dos me tienen esperando semana tras semana por los episodios.
    Actualmente, el drama está justo en la mitad. Ahora, estamos esperando a que los crush se definan y más sorpresas aparezcan. Pueden verla por: www.viki.com ,www.dramafever.com
QUE LA DISFRUTEN!!!,

  So the awesome Kim Sun Ah is back! This drama is about a shoe designer director who is in her early 30's and has the worst personality ever. Her employees even called her Medusa! Hwang Ji An (Kim Sun Ah) in one of her lonely nights gets drunk and has a one-night-stand with Park Tae Kang (Lee Jang Woo) a young guy who is a shoe imitation trader. Meanwhile, Ji An parents are trying to get her married, so they set a blind date with obstetrician Jo Eun Sung ( Park Gun Hyang). This doctor, also in his 30's, has no intentions to get married, but since she's just like him, he found her very attractive and start to pursue her.    Do you think this three will makes us laugh, cry, get angry, and fall in love? The answer is: yes! As the relationships developed your smile will get bigger and bigger! Ji An is cruel, mean and with a sharp tongue. Tae Kang is sweet, playful, childish, but knows how to take revenge on someone else! With those two you'll have enough fun! Plus, the rest of the cast: doctor, employees, parents; make the humorous journey complete.
    I'm an old time fan of actress Kim Sun Ah. Her acting in this drama is excellent, like always! And, also, I envy her 'cause she gets to act with the most handsome koreans actors!!!! So far I can give a thumbs up to this drama! You know what to do right now?! GO WATCH IT!!!!!!

A new action drama started last week! GHOST is an action-suspense drama about a cyberspace investigation team leader, Kim Woo Hyun, goes after criminals who perpetrates crimes online or hide their identities through cyberspace. So in that way they become ghosts because nobody can see them. So Ji Sub (from Im Sorry I Love You) and Daniel Choi (from The Musical and Baby Face Beauty) are the main actors in this drama.    After watching the first two episodes, I can assure you this will be the hit drama of the summer!!! So Ji Sub's character has this aura of a very serious detective, it kind of reminded me of the Vampire Prosecutor guy, and there is also something misterious about him. The misteriousness about the case they are trying to solve take you to so many misunderstandings it's kind of confusing, but at the same time make you keep watching it.    I don't want to be a spoiler, so I'm just going to keep it short: GHOST IS A MUST WATCH DRAMA!!!

Before this album came out in full, I had mixed feelings about it because the first teaser stunned, the second was underwhelming, and "Be My Baby" was boring. However, my doubts were put to rest when I finally heard the whole album, because really, it's one of the strongest k-pop albums in a long time, and one of the few I can listen to from start to finish and not skip a track. (I can't even do that to majority of DBSK albums!)

No matter what I say about JYP being one-dimensional and forcing his singing style down his idol groups' throats, we all have to remember that JYP was once an idol himself. Although I doubt they called him an idol, he was making pop music for himself before he branched out into mentoring, and because of that he not only understands the concept of a song, but the concept of a performance. Unlike other songwriters who merely adapt to trends, JYP understands that at the end of the day, the songs he makes will be sung by people, with strengths and exceptional talent, yes, but who also have limitations. He understands that because he went through that before, and it shows in the album.

"Wonder World" is a pop album through and through, but the quality of the songs is really something else. And they're actual songs, with actual melodies and actual singing, which can actually be performed live. Each and every song has a purpose on the album, even the ones I didn't like that much, they make sense. I never thought I'd say this, but "Wonder World" is, hands-down, one of the best k-pop albums of the year. I listened to it for the first time a few hours ago, and honestly I found myself giving almost every song 5 stars. I don't do that - like, the most 5-star songs I've given an album is probably two or three. I gave "Wonder World" five perfect scores out of twelve. In terms of the album as a whole, the Wonder Girls, and JYP, did not fail to deliver. 

However, the single choice is as much an epic fail as the album is brilliant. Whose BRILLIANT idea was it to choose boring, whiny and generic, "Be My Baby" as the lead single, when there are like five other songs that are easily more amazing and more attention-grabbing than "Be My Baby"? Huh? The single, in theory, is supposed to sell the rest of the album, but when the lead single is out of place with the rest of the album, how's it supposed to sell? The only people who will end up listening to the brilliance that is "Wonder World" are the people who knew WG before "Be My Baby".

Oh! Gee Girls’ Generation! This comeback is GG*. You are all definitely genies for bringing the boys out with an amazing comeback song! You see what I did there? For those of you who do not know, SM Entertainment s Girls Generation (a.k.a. SNSD) released their third Korean album The Boys on October 19, 2011.

 Their comeback song The Boys was amazing? Well, it’s true. The beat and melody was spot on. People say it’s a new approach to their old catchy and addictive songs but still, I think it’s addictive. Along with a great producer like Teddy Riley, this is probably one of the top comeback songs for me. Teddy Riley is without doubt a great composer but fans shouldn’t t rely on his name too much. Riley is like the icing on the cake. The cake, which is the girls, is what’s important. In addition, have you seen the music video? The girls looked gorgeous. Their dance, synchronization, and everything in the video was top notch. 

If this album was a roller coaster ride, The Boys would be a thrilling high drop right down to flat land. And this flat land is the rest of the songs in the album with just a few exciting drops here and there. Telepathy and Say Yes were simply upbeat pop songs, nothing new; in fact, there are similar ones that can be found in previous albums. My J sounded like it was taken straight out of an Asian drama series (I wouldn’t t put it pass them to use it for a drama) but it was a decent song nonetheless. It’s nice to see the girls take on songwriting/composing opportunities, the better to showcase the girls numerous talents. Sooyoung tried her hand at writing the lyrics for How Great Is Your Love. However, the melody of the song was too simple that it didn’t t stand out on its own unlike Sunflower
