Panda and Hedgehog

Courtesy to thought- a thought of love which discerns love as something to means to be compatible. Compatible, oh often struck the idea of thinking alike- which may more than often give the impressions that chemistry is to work where oh fancies are to be in mutual agreement of being in habit of choosing same direction. Life being misjudged,-its component love, i am convinced is more prone to misjudgements and all liability holds to curiosity on the subject. One is more curious to know what love is than to know what counts as fatality or to read a pulse of growth. A sentiment, thereby much played and depicted in stories of everyday that the authors, that the producers cast in their films. Such an idea, such a notion hardly ever ignored in its portrait, but equally overlooked when that nature is just as close to your breath- What a pity!

So much impressed i am by the manipulated cushion that it retains by device of merely being so common in nature that credibility becomes mysterious- i end up with another look-on the upcoming dramas and movies that are credited with potential that speaks of it in a much thoughtful manner. One such watch was a Korean drama 'Panda and Hedgehog'. It's a pretty entertaining piece- exploring on what must have come up with opposite personalities. What's peculiar about the story is that, well in general stories a lady and lad is to fell in love with each other and then proceeds their bond with a story portraying their mutual experiences --but in here an encounter, first some abrupt, then in a position as to require where no signs of mutual love or of love on any side, but still interpreted in such allegations by other third parties. The story is intriguing as there is another man who adores the lady, for in times of childhood trauma only she was beside him. Now i want to know that is this love? -That i am to impress upon the idea that i love who pitied me when no one did? Well, that's a sarcastic exaggeration of the depiction. But anyways i would like to say that this side (the love in trauma) has a lot potential to be explored. For to state in words, the conjecture goes something like this that 'do we love psychologically?' and 'is psychological love different from love by heart?' Some such assertions need be put to diagnosis.

The story revolves around the characters named 'Pan Da-Yang' (the lady) and 'Ko Seung Ji' (the lad). Pan Da-Yang runs a patisserie named 'Panda Shop' distributing around the fliers in panda costume. And Ko Seung Ji's will and wish stirs up to make a genuine desire to be a top patissier! Their encounter and confrontation, filled with tenacity and incongruity. And then there is this rich dude- 'Choi Won II' who endeavors to take-over his love. Will he succeed? And by the way he is innocent and decent all the same as to procure audience with favor but what is he doing showing off his money to win her heart? And oh! Ko Seung is not all himself, a charming soul may be! Somewhere he has a wicked plan may be. A glimpse of that wickedness i observed in end of episode 3. It would be a great disappointment to me, for he has impressed upon me a charming man so far and a loving heart. It would certainly be a great irony if he is otherwise. I wonder what comes up next! With there upon sizzled you know, with 'bold' vs 'keener' i-e Ko Seung vs Choi Won ..gives all the way to a little add of comic interpolations too and of course not without sombre vivacity!

Curious eh to the title? :P Well the lady's panda because of her panda costume and the lad is hedgehog- well that's his nickname.

P.S
The intrigue lies in the suspense ;) ..hehe if you liked the concept, maybe its a right choice for you to watch the drama ;)
Goodluck (Y)

#Me, 3 episodes watched!

High School Love On

“Saranghaeyo”, do you believe that it could be something flushing and pounding hard in the heart of a being, not of humans, but something else? Like an angel? This drama takes charge of this theme, and sets and tunes the plotting that proceeds in and discloses and unfolds little by little that how an angel interacting in human world may end up. An angel who leads the souls of dead people, to the other world. 

So, who is this guy… for whom she authors herself to be a barrier , shoving him away from the clutches of death? She, as supposedly, was to pave his transition from human world to another.. but end up aginst her duty? Oh! And now she got penalty, which was: her transition to human. She knew none, nor was she acquainted with living: as how to live! Only that, the high school student she saved… she as of curiosity to know ‘why it occurred to her to do otherwise her duty, for a lad’, and as of shelter in human world, she is now stuck to him like a gum.

And as of beginning, it seems the student is probable in attending to hopes to keep away from that girl (who is a queer and a strange little thing). What would happen? Would he push her away? And then she will be all by herself in this strange world? And as the above picture demonstrates another lad, … is she to shelter her then? Well, I am just asserting some hypothetical queries as to the subject-matter!

Well, if you are curious enough as to discover, what happens to that angel.. watch “High School Love On”.

My love from another star

Do Min Joon, an interesting character from the serial "My love from another star". Something of a stronger instincts, something of an unnatural sort, an alien from outer space, stuck on earth for about 400 years. How is it, the matter to be sorted, a matter resolved? Will he return, as to grab upon a chance when it comes? Or like earthlings, to be malign by fate?

He reminds me of a leading character "Jang Hye-sung", from the serial "I can hear your voice". Tendencies supernatural! "Senses deployed, instincts sharp.... to see, to hear; what i shouldn't". That sort of thematic plot, bounds the story. Both of 'em.

And the plot of this serial, brings back to memory a plotting of similar kind... to point-out: semblance to a Korean movie "Always". Well, alike in a manner that "what goes round, comes around". The linking between characters, that unfolds periodically and gradually. Characters, very thoroughly connected. Indeed!!  

~Views at service,
ep 1, watched I !

Kazokugari- Family Hunting

Do you wonder if there is such a thing as 'family hunting' could happen? Such heinous crime is commited, and what grave murders are enlisted and become more frequent on Japanese police' case-files. But oh, the clever brains of highers are throughly convinced of cases as suicides. The daughter or so is it son, thus chose to kill parents and then deliver oneself to the bounds of eternal sleep.  Ofcourse, by domestic abuse within, they chose such. And oh! such cause (as to be believed a cause) induce grave air and tense atmosphere in the plot all along.

Endo Kenichi

Matsuyuki Yasuko

Endo Kenichi (Shiroi Haru) is the cop investigating the cases. Something is strange about him. To put it precise, not about him..but his manner. He could apprehend and sense a certain scent. A scent other than the one murdered at the murder scene, or may be a suicide set. Such designs lead him to the culprit. A lady, Matsuyuki Yasuko, the plot seems to draw him closer to her as a suspection..in quick succession. She is oh, how ironic! an employee at child care centre; whose character is dedicated to rescue children abused by all commitement..or should i say by hook or crook! She won't bend, independent of what authority stands before her or what hatred might those children deliver to her. Ouch, why is she that way? Maybe, her past, her personal experience, had created such a soft corner for, ever so bloomed, for the ones in dire need of rescue..out of domestic voilence, out of abuse. But, provided the fact that only three episodes has been released uptill now, these elements, these mysteries are still vague.

Ito Atsushi

Meanwhile, another character's development keeps at pace. This character is Ito Atsushi, an art teacher... who is having a bit of trouble with another fellow teacher played by Yamaguchi Sayaka.

These three characters, Endo Kenichi, Matsuyuki Yasuko, and Ito Atsushi encounter and counter each other and become involved and dissolved into the thorogh twisted plot that is taking place. Yet ambigious, for what is to proceed and what resolution is to come of it.

So, my friend...just wait n watch! ;)

Jambok-geunmu

A korean movie "She's on duty" with the Korean version title: "Janbok-geunmu". Just watched it today! At first glimpse, the cover photo and the review caught my attention straight away, for it had a detective element. hehe.

poster

The high school, and detective character are quite an amusing elements to blend together to come up with a light-hearted yet thrilled combo. Well, to speak of general highlights about the movie, they are given below:

Well, the beginning was really comical; and omg the dresses gave the image that the movie was set in 1990's. Ah! and i quite misjudged the lead role at that point. I thought it was the girl beside Jae-In, though it so by the attitude she was hosting. The setting was a hall room, with a set of ladies gossiping there. Basically they were on an undercover mission, disguised as ladies about to be sold to Japan by the underground gangsters. Just as those bunch of guys entered the room and invited them along, a flip of events took place, and Jae-In bumped into her heroic style posing a pistol straight at the criminal.

But what a fool, her companion was just trapped as a bait. how silly! Thence came  a little smashing and, hits n beats. The action part. Hah! but not devoid of comic still. 

The scene could then be elaborated in a maxim that monkey steals away, as cats yet quarreling. That monkey was man of the match. He was another under-cover cop. Aww poor girl! she didn't know it. He arrested the criminal and his gang.

Quite out-raged, at honour she was robbed of, she headed straight to meet her Boss, not consious to change her get-up. But guess what, she was welcomed with smirks bursting into laughters, by the panel. But do you know why? Well, because the panel was just pondering at how to keep the criminal's daughter under 24 hr observation, to approach his father (the criminal) throught her. And she was a high school student. Now you can guess why the officers welcomed her with amusing laughters. 

She was quite reluctant at the beginning, but had to comply because of her uncle's insistence who was also a detective. She hated school life, the books part especially. Quite the contrary; she was a gang leader in her high school time.

lol

Aish! seems like a bad experiece is just around the corner. She is supposed to befriend the criminal's daughter Seung-hee, so as to trace when he comes to meet her daughter in secrecy. Thats the plan. But will she be able to blend in? Ah! thats totally out of question. At her very first day, she bumps into this girl (in the picture beside), and offended her. In consequence calling for trouble: the school gang. Hah! but in her combat with them, the girls end up surrendering, not being equalling her strength.

    

Hahaha, this is the photo of the comical demonstration of their encounter! (picture on the right side).

And it seemed a hard game to befriend Seung-hee because of her introverted and cold personality.

Quite a demonstration!

In the meanwhile she met this nice guy, named: No-Yong. Ah! how unjustifiably, she started to fall for him. He was also a new student in that school, and took the initiative to 'let be friends'. She was quite astonished. 

And according to plans, she was given an apartment infront of Seung-hee's house, to keep a close eye on her 24/7. But it comes out to be that this guy was his neighbour. Whoa, what a coincidence! Or, is it?

Very very mysterious! This guy, and whatever is connected to him. But his pleasant and oh so charming personality conceals all such facts.

Oh well, and the studies issues are just about to over-whelm a bit or so, for student life is returned dear. Hahaha, O dear!

And being an active respondent to gang activities in school life again, brings his uncle to pull her ear every once in a while.

To spring up the friendship between Jae-in and Seung-hee , it is planned out to go with the classic style, on her comrades recommendation. It is decided that some thugs would attack Seung-hee and Jae-in will save her. Hahaha, but to their dismay, it ended up differently, for Jae-in was delayed in her arrival at the spot because of some botheration. And to her disappointment, she was late, for No-Yong was already there. Startling all with his heroic fists and kicks and saving Seung-hee.

So, the friendship plan failed.

But then a certain rumor raised about Jae-in, and brought forth Seung-hee with friendly hand towards her. She just found out something common between the two of them. And from then on, they were the bestest friends, relying on each other.

Haha, another comical event: well, she was caught cheating in exams with an ear device. Oh! you know how bad she is in studies, and unfornutely in her records she was claimed as the topper of previous school. Bad for her!





Now is the time to reveal her identity to her teacher, or else she'll be in real trouble. Her uncle came along to settle the matters. Good for them, the teacher look upon police with respect and highest degree of esteem.

From here onwards, the movie takes a serious turn. They traced out Seung-hee's father at the airport. The rival gang who was also tracing that man chased him madly at the airport. He ran, and was aided to escape by the intervention of a mysterious rider. The guised teacher of school who was in league with the police (the same person who robbed her of reciving the honour of succeeding in previous crime scene), was also at the spot. He shot the rider but he escaped. Jae-in found a broken watch at the scene, from where the rider left. She recognised it instantly to be a possession of No-Yong. So, there she rushed to his neighbor and slamming the door. Ah! but here he comes in his casual, so-to-be style, excusing himself coming from a store. Playful, as always. But to viewers, it is soon revealed that he had a bullet shot, which turns uncertainty to certainty. But Jae-in is still in her chaotic state, trying to make sense out of it.

Another shock, but this time for Seung-hee. Jae-in tolds her the truth that she is a cop, and came to befriend her to trace her father. She feels betrayed, and ask for a conviction to never meet her again. And depressed, thus she departs.

Another irony, Jae-in's uncle got murdered. She's doomed! Oh God.

Yet one more event of betrayal! Her assistant for the sake of money for his wife's medical charges, drop Jae-in and Seung-hee at a mysterious place by deceit. The place where she is beaten, and Seung-hee is taken away. There Seung-hee met her father being violently beaten by that gang leader to death. She bursts into crying madly.

Back at the scene, the mysterious rider (No-Yong; as both knows) came to pick Jae-in, and from thence they visited where Seung-hee was.

There again starts the fists and kicks. Jae-in chases the gang leader, and No-Yong beats the other guys. There she hand-cuffed him, after a little smash and beat; but found out a gun-pistol pointed at her head.

When she turns, she found that it was the disguised teacher. But he was supposed to be in his league. But hey, its another shot of betrayal. Ah! and when that disguised teacher (the detective actually) reveals that he killed her uncle, she is over-whelmed with rage, and madly bursts on him. There begun their rivalry fight, beating each other.



Thereafter, the police troop arrived, and took all criminals into custody. Bringing the scene to a close!

No-Yong slipped away, because the police would caught him too, for he was a spy. And Seung-hee went to hospital with her father.












Now a new crime-scene opens, where Jae-in is again on an under-cover mission, disguised as nun at a christmas eve. Haha.









Soooo...., the story goes on such an such; and now No-Yong a detective too!

There there:                              THE END !!!
