A Love to Kill

(Source: Wikipedia)

Title: A Love to Kill
Year: 2005
Genre: Romance, Drama
Director: Kyoo-tae-Kim
Synopsis by Wikipedia:

In A Love to Kill, Bi/Rain/Jeong Ji-Hoon plays a tough guy as the role of a K-1 Fighter, Kang Bok-gu. Bok-gu is a character who is dynamic in nature and grew up in a foster home. He falls in love with a woman whom he should not love. It was because of the woman, his emotionally-wounded brother fell off from the rooftop and became a human vegetable. So, his love is forbidden and inevitably tragic.

The woman is Cha Eun-seok (Shin Mina) who is a TV talent and movie actor. It was not that she jilted his brother on purpose, but upon a basis of misunderstanding, his hatred toward Cha Eun-soek grows more and more burning.

By becoming Cha Eun-seok’s private bodyguard, Bok-gu keeps concretely practicing his revenge upon her. He only desires ‘to bring his brother’s woman to her knees.’ He is gradually taking Cha Eun-seok to destruction, while he feels his love toward her growing deeper and deeper in his heart.

Bok-gu is a cold guy character without any special concern for woman. Martial art of hand-to-hand fighting was just kind of his escape he choose from the shock of a spinster’s death whom he loved from a distance.

What I think:

In Korean Dramas, there's always the love triangle scene, melodramatic, the frustrating scene, and the part where there's always a 3rd party that will acts as the bi*** or the a***** and this is no different. However, what's interesting about this one is as u go thru each of the episodes the storyline become even more interesting. Even though, u'll know how the ending goes, u'll want to watch how the couples endure each troubles and faces turbulences along the way. It's of course, definitely a tear jerker that will touches hearts of every women. Duh! Haha. YEaps. This drama starred by Rain, and Shin-Min-a, both whom have delivered and expresses their character well. The part which I hated the most is when the things are actually easy but they make it sooo complicated that they dragged the story even longer, makes u really frustrated not with the story or actor and actress but with the movie as a whole. However, I'm rating it 3 out of 5. I believe that women especially, wouldnt want to miss this one.

Couldnt find the trailer, hope this'll do ;)

Don't Give Up on Us

Title: Don't Give Up on Us
Year: 2006
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Director: Joyce Bernal
Synopsis by Wikipedia:

In a most unexpected place, love finds its way... But will it survive the journey?

Abby (Judy Ann Santos) thinks she has everything under control until her best friend Sabina walks out of her own bridal shower weeks before her marriage to Abby's younger brother Samuel. With a cassette tape left behind by Sabina as her only lead, Abby vows to find her best friend and bring her back in time for the wedding.

Abby's search takes her to Baguio. There she meets Vince (Piolo Pascual), a folk singer in a local pub whose voice she heard in Sabina's tape. Vince claims that he recorded the song for his friend Rabbit who was supposed to give it to his girlfriend (Sabina). Abby persuades Vince to take her to Rabbit in the hope to find Sabina.

As Abby and Vince travel together through the mountain provinces, love tries to find its way through their hearts but will it survive the journey?

What I think:

I think this is one of the best Filipino movies I've ever seen considering it was released in 2005. The storyline is not bad. The actor & actress have a great chemistry as this wasn't their first time working 2gether. Some will say that the story is a bit cliche, but I think in this genre it's a great love story. Of course, every love story has a twist, some frustrating scenes and last but not least, some emo scenes that's definitely a tear jerker. I'm rating it 4 out 5. Would I recommend you to watch this? YESH! The movie was shot in Baguio, Banaue & Sagada. Absolutely beautiful! Bsides that, hey.. it's Piolo Pascual, of course u will want to see it ;) Click HERE for trailer

Japan Boat Takoyaki

Who loves Japanese food?? Well, I know I do. Weeks back, there's this new food stall or rather shop in town that causes a buzz to KK people. Everyday, regardless day or night, people would queue up just to take a bite at it.

Japanese Boat "Takoyaki", quote from Wikipedia:

Takoyaki (たこ焼き or 蛸焼, Takoyaki^?) (literally fried or baked octopus) is a popular Japanese dumplingbatter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, konnyaku, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (aonori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings), originating from Osaka. There is a similarly named dish called ikayaki but it is a broiled whole squid and bears no resemblance. Yaki is derived from "yaku" (焼く, "yaku"^?) which simply means "to bake or grill" in Japanese, and can be found in the names of other Japanese cuisine items such as teriyaki or sukiyaki.

There u go peeps. Go, take a bite at it. I'll bet u want more. Serve best hot. U can really taste the sauce and all. Nyums! and ohh.. Visit the website here!

It can be anything, fashion, entertainment, movies reviews, music, food, art, values, technology etc. But it's all about cultures from all over the world. I may not be an expert about it, but I am learning., let's all learn shall we?
