Result of Mama 2011

This year's MAMA awards is now over...
There were some surprises however many awards were known beforehand!
I was surprised that intl stars as Will.I.Am, Dr Dre & Snoop Dog, Lang Lang.. and Koda Kumi appeard as well as many famous actors! (such as Lee Byung-Hun, Nam Gyu-ri, Song Seung-Hun, Han Hyo-Joo and Oh Ji-Ho)
It felt more like an international award show and not Korean, even though of course focus was on the Korean stars!!

Last night I watched the Korean movie Sunny.
It was an OKAY movie, both fun and sad. Normally I only watch the horror/sad movies.
At least this one had a good ending... (^0^)
It was fun to see Kang Sora in action since it was quite some time I saw her in a movie. These days I see her in WGM (^0^)

PLOT

(info from asianmediawiki.com)

New high-school transfer student Na-Mi (Shim Eun-Kyung) comes from a small town in Jeolla Province to her new school in the capital city of Seoul. When she is nervous, her small town dialect comes out & she starts to shake.On her first day at her new school she is bullied by others. Coming to her help is a group of girls. The girls are Chun-Hwa (Kang So-Ra) - known for her strong sense of loyalty & excellant fighting skills, heavyset Jang-Mi (Kim Min-Young) - who badly wishes to have plastic surgery to get double eye-lids, Jin-Hee (Park Jin-Joo) - excellent when it comes to spewing profanity, Geum-Ok (Nam Bo-Ra) - interested in literature, Bok-Hee (Kim Bo-Mi) - dreams of one day becoming Ms. Korea and Su-Ji (Min Hyo-Rin) - always arrogant. Na-Mi quickly becomes part of their group. When the group confronts rival girls known as Sonyeo Sidae ("Girls Generation"), Na-Mi spews curse words she picked up from her grandmother. Because of Na-Mi the girls are able to avoid a crisis. These seven girls then form their own group named "Sunny". They also vow to stay together forever...

Twenty five years later, Na-Mi (Yoo Ho-Jeong) is married to a successful businessman and has a beautiful daughter. Her life seems perfect from afar, but there's something lacking in her life. One day, Na-Mi bumps into high school friend Chun-Hwa (Jin Hee-Kyung) in the hospital. Chun-Hwa asks Na-Mi to find the other members of "Sunny," so she can see them one more time ...

紅白歌合戦 2011

Today the news came regarding the annual 紅白歌合戦 (Kōhaku Uta Gassen). The MC for this year will be actress 井上真央 and 嵐.
Inoue Mao-chan will be the leader for the red team and Arashi for the white team!!
It's said that Mao-chan was chosen because she appeared in this year's NHK dorama おひさま (Ohisama) that received very good ratings.

Already happy and looking forward seeing the whole show!! Wonder which artists and groups who will appear this year!!



Annoucement - press con

You're my pet 2011

The manga by 小川彌生 (Ogawa Yayoi) きみはペットwas a success in Japan and the tv drama was released back in 2003 starring 小雪 & 松本潤(Koyuki and Matsumoto Jun).
This time it's coming to Korea, BUT not as a drama! This time as a movie.
This movie is on the headlines in Korea and you can see trailers both in cinema and online.

It has the same name in Korean as Japanese. YOU'RE MY PET.

in Korean it's know as "너는 펫"
The movie is starring 김하늘 & 장근석 (Kim Haneul & Jang Geun Suk)

I'm really looking forward seeing this movie..


I found one with eng sub... for you who do not speak Korean.
I LOVE when JGS says: "I'm a pet"

Official release: 2011 11 10
