Korean Film Festival Melbourne 8-12 September 2012

This year's 3rd Korean Film Festival in Melbourne, I should be able to catch since I missed it last year. Starting on Saturday 8th - Wednesday 12th 2012 showing at ACMI Cinema, Federation Square.

There's a few I want to watch but will probably only end up watching one since most of the times are inconvenient. I want to see the one with Gong Yoo called Silenced. However, that one is showing at 9pm Sunday 9th September 2012. Who watches movies on a Sunday at 9pm?! The majority of us have work the next day.

Other options of interest: All About My Wife, The Client, and Bleak Night. I'll see who I can round up with to go with me :)

Ended up watching Bleak Night & All About My Wife. 

Bleak Night starring Lee Je Hoon (Fashion King) was a serious and grim story about teenage growing pains and betrayal which led one of the main characters to suicide. 

All About My Wife was light hearted and amusing. Starring Lee Sun-Gyun (Coffee Prince. Will write the review on this one later.) A story about how a married couple after many years of marriage take each other for granted. The husband desperately wanted to get rid of his annoying wife and so hired a Casanova to seduce her. Funnily, the Casanova fell in love with the wife and the husband in the end realised he truly loves his wife and didn't want to get rid of her after all!

Really enjoyed both the movies :) 

Good Korean Food In Melbourne

Does anyone know where to find good Korean food in Melbourne? It's a shame they don't have a Korean food festival here. I've been to a lot of Korean restaurants here and have not tasted good korean food.  The bukoki and kimchi always turn out too sweet, not spicy or sour enough. Mainly catered for Aussies.

The Korean food up in Sydney Strathfield is not bad.  Some of those restaurant owners should branch out in Melbourne ^^

Jay Park Melbourne Concert September 2012

For all you Jay Park fans, he's coming to Melbourne in September 2012 at the Dallas Brook Centre, Albert Street, East Melbourne! His first ever concert in Melbourne. You can still purchase tickets. Only Silver and Gold tickets are left so be quick! Hopefully, this will be the start of many more kpop stars to perform in Melbourne.

I went to the Kpop concert up in Sydney last November 2011.  It was awesome, well worth it. So don't miss out, Jay Walkerz.  Purchase your tix pronto.

Why do Koreans all dye their hair brown?

Almost every drama I watch, everyone has either brown or blonde hair. Is black so boring? Most of the girls are so white. I understand asian women wanting to look flawless and white. But then, some of the men are quite tanned such as Yoo Ah In & Gong Yoo. Is being white only strictly limited to females in the asian countries? I personally believe being lightly tanned is gorgeous and healthy looking.

Where are all the good looking spunky Korean men in Melbourne?

I've been living here for years now and I have not seen many good looking Korean guys. Wait, let me rephrase that. I have not seen many good looking asian men. I believe good looking asian men are back in all the asian countries. Or perhaps everyone needs a personal trainer, stylist, make up artist & some plastic surgery? :P

Introduction

Hey everyone, I've decided to start my own blog today on Korean drama reviews. Kdrama is something I like to watch in my spare time. After each drama I watch, there is always a lot of curiosity, thinking & questions involved. I'd like to use this blog to write down my own personal rants and raves.  I have a Kdrama board on Pinterest, but Pinterest doesn't provide much versatility in writing reviews, and hence the start of this blog...

The reviews are solely my own personal opinions and judgement. I will not go in to in-depth character and plot analysis. My style is to give an overview or summary of the drama. I am someone who likes to read a review before watching a drama and dislike it when every nitty gritty detail is given to me. If that is the case, there is no point in watching it; the review would suffice. Having said that, this is a review blog on Kdramas I've watched, therefore there will be plenty of spoilers.

I hope you find this blog helpful, entertaining, and hopefully will stimulate questions and thoughts before or after watching the dramas :)
