Korean Beds - My dream to dream

Today’s topic is Koran beds... You must have seen them in many dramas and if you are not from Korean, Japan or China you probably do not have one bed like this. So let me talk about it as someone that has never slept in a cute bed like these ones.

Let me organize my ideas and then you can tell me if you agree with me or not (of course if you are a reasonable person you are going to agree with me, I’m a girl, I’m always right). You may be asking yourself why my opinion is so important?! Why should you take it in consideration?! Well, I’m an expert about beds, I love sleeping and If I could I would stay in bed all day, I have more good memories with my bed than you have of your entire life (did it sound strange to you too?!). 

Ok, now the pros:

1. THEY ARE CHEAP

A Korean friend of mine told me that a Korean bed can costs $90, it is made of latex and it’s very common in Korea. With $90 dollars here where I live (Brazil) I can’t buy the blankets to cover it, imagine the whole bed!

2. THEY ARE SO TRADITIONAL

These kinds of beds are special because they bring with them a cultural touch, your boring bedroom would look so different just with the small addition of this traditional Korean bed. It would be confortable and decorative at the same time.

3. THEY ARE EASY TO MOVE

If you need more space you can just fold your bed and let it in the corner of your room, then unfold it and use it to sleep. With an occidental bed you can’t do it, or you find for another room or do what you have to do on it.

4. YOU WON’T FALL FROM IT

Just if you have fallen down from a bed you will understand how it is terrible, but in a Korean bed it won’t be a problem because they are so close to the ground that you won’t get hurt! Isn’t that great?!

5. LIFE TIME

A bed like that has a long life time, my friend told me that she won’t change it at least for five years… Considering that it costs just $90 dollars, it is a very long time, right?!

6. NO MONSTERS UNDER YOUR BED

Children are always afraid of monster under their beds, for obvious reasons it’s not possible with Korean beds! So your kids will be safe and will sleep the entire night in peace!

Now the cons:

1. SURPRISE ATTACKS

It’s so close to the ground that all the most horrible and disgusting insects could just crawl to you bed and get into it with you… I swear my house is clean (most part of the time) and I don’t have insects walking around there all the time, but just the fact that it could happen… aiiiigo… it’s terrible!!!! Maybe I am a little bit crazy about it, maybe it’s a trauma from my childhood, I’m not sure, I just know that it’s a negative aspect of it.

Well, that’s the only negative aspect of it I suppose, or am I forgetting something?! I don’t think so… It's a shame that I can't buy one of those beds here, but internet is so fantastic that I could probably find one of these incredible beds near me.

Now tell me, how is your relationship with your bed?! Would you buy a Korean bed and abandon your current bed?! Oh yeah, you would, right?!

Personal Taste - my kind of drama

Just 16 episodes with about an hour each looked like a great option for my “weekend drama project” and once again I wasn't wrong, actually I'm always so right that it doesn't surprise me anymore. This drama is a romantic comedy, the way I like, but there are so many traumatic situations and personal issues that made it be even better…

The story goes around Jeon Jin Ho, a handsome and talented architect that is trying to win a competition for an amazing project, however to achieve his goal he has to rent a room in a house built for a famous architect and live there with the architect's daughter, Park Kae In. The daughter is unbelievable kind and she trusts anyone, the result of it is a broken heart and a damaged auto confidence after be betrayed by her boyfriend and her friend.

Park Kae In is so air headed that she believes he is gay and in exchange for the permission to live there, he allows her to believe in that lie. But things will get more and more complicated while they keep living there and their hearts will change… Can they be together, even when everything and everyone conspires against it?!

My first impression about Lee Min Ho was… oh my gosh, he is tall, my second was… wow, he is handsome and after the last episode I was impressed with his acting skills. Lee Min Ho played a young and methodic architect that was looking for success and found love instead, I almost died with him when he was struggling with his problems and laughed when he did. Great job.

My first impression on Son Ye Jin wasn't that positive, I was comparing her with different actresses from other dramas, she wasn't very pretty (the traditional korean beauty), however during the drama I understood that it was part of the character and to hide her natural beauty was just part of her job. Son Ye Jin isn't just beautiful, but very talented too, I was touched with her crying scenes and how she could be so cute sometimes… great job too!!!

Aaaaaahhhhhhh… I must talk about a kiss scene that I saw there!! It was sooooo cute that I thought I could die… in that moment I thought: “now I understand the reason I was born, it was just to see this kiss scene”. Watch this drama and I'm sure you will know about what I'm saying.

Well, that's it… a great option to watch alone but a better option to watch with someone else. Have fun!!!

So Ji Sub's Birthday

Today is a very special day... no it’s not because of Unity Day in Russia, or the Flag Day in Panama or even the Blessed Teresa Manganiello day…. Today is a special day because it’s my favorite actor birthday… Happy birthday So Ji Sub!!!

(NOTE: I know that problably is 5th Nobember now in Korea, I would like to post it in the right date of his birthday but there was a conspiration here where I live and a blackout was the responsible for my delay, I'm really sorry)

생일 축하 해요 So Ji Sub!!!

I believe if you have read one of my posts before you will realize how much I admire So Ji Sub, he is a talented actor and musician (he is handsome, intelligent and rich too ^^). Of course I don’t know the real So Ji Sub, his is discrete when the topic is his personal life, but I can’t avoid falling in love with his professional life (it’s a pure kind of love, the one from a fan to an idol, not from a woman to a man).

So Ji Sub doesn’t know me either (such a shame, he doesn’t know that he is missing a wonderful friend), but I believe that it’s important receive the support of his fans in moments like that, it’s an anonymous feeling of love and respect.

Normally the actors have no idea how they impact someone’s live, like me for example, I started studying Korean after watching the drama “Oh My Venus”, now I’m studying Korean, I writing a blog about it and I have made several friends (my Kakao Talk Korean friends… love you all!!!!). It’s impressive how a good work as an actor can be so powerful to a fan. So, I hope So Ji Sub keep doing his amazing work!!!

I won’t enumerate here the reasons I have to admire him as a person and as a professional, after all I wrote a post about it some weeks ago, but I wish all his dreams come true and that in the future we can have more and more of his wonderful work on dramas and music.

Scarlet Heart: Ryeo - a historical drama

Historical dramas are so nice, the first one I have watched was “Moonlight Drawn by Clouds” and then “Splash, Splash Love”, this drama is the third drama I’m watching.

There are two kinds of Historical dramas, the ones based in facts and really dramatic (with a lot of blood and entrails) and the ones based in facts and with more romance. If you have read something I wrote before you know that I’m the romantic kind that prefer the second kind of historical dramas.

Scarlet Heart:Ryeo is part of the first group, with a well written plot, nice clothes and beautiful and talented actors. The story has a romantic touch, but it’s mixed in a lot of violence, betrayal, facts, it’s not a light drama that will make your heart flys, it’s the kind of drama that will make your heart beats so fast and you will be always surprised and afraid of something. This drama it's like the Korean verison of "Game of Thrones", when you start liking a character, it will die!    :/

However it doesn’t mean that it’s bad, actually it’s is really good, it’s so real that when you realize you are addicted to it.

The story goes around Hae Soo (Lee Ji Eun), a girl that is transported to the past during an eclipse, she gets into a princess’ body and met the princes in that time. The whole drama is about their fight for the throne and for her heart, it’s incredible what some of them can do for the power.

Lee Joon Ki is so good being so bad, he is so evil and sweet at the same time that I was confused between love and hate… He plays the 4^th prince Wang So, someone with a terrible scar in his face but that in my opinion is handsome anyway. He is fantastic as an actor, maybe because he is very mature…

Lee Ji Eun is one of the most beautiful actresses I have ever seen, as Hae Soo she is perfect even I would fall in love with her (and I am a girl). Her expressions are so realistic that for a second I’m transported to the story and when I realize I’m crying and laughing with her (people around me think I’m crazy… it’s her fault).

Kang Ha Neul is the 8^th Prince, a charming type that will melt your heart in the beginning, as an actor I don’t have anything to say, I am speechless with his incredible abilities and his beautiful lips. lol

Hong Jong Hyun played the 3^rd Prince Wang Yo, the vilan of the whole story! But I must be honest and admit that he is talented and handsome, he is so good acting that I hate him for real (I’m a bit crazy and can’t separate  reality and fiction sometimes).

There are more princes of course, and they are as handsome as their brother I mentioned before, but you must watch this drama to know them all.

If you like Historical Dramas just like me, it’s a great option of drama… A lot of people are watching it right now and if you are not one of them, hurry up and start it as soon as possible.
