Change. Connecting with a Show

I like Korean dramas/soap operas. The show that I'm watching now is called "Pure In Heart". It's about a girl (Gukhwa) and how she falls in love with this guy (Yunhu) and how his parents don't approve of their relationship.

This is the show's "cover picture":


In the more recent episodes,the parents finally approved of their relationship and agreed to their son's wish to marry her. The father (DK) is more willing because he observed them during work (—Yunhu works for DK's company and Yunhu hired Gukhwa as his secretary as a bargaining price to work for DK). But the mother (MH) seems entirely against it because of her background.
As the season goes on, MH seems to secretly like Gukhwa and doesn't want to admit it. The way I see it, MH doesn't want any change to her life and doesn't want to share any attention with Gukhwa. I think that if MH gets along with Gukhwa more, she'll get equal amount of attention and maybe in better light because it might make up for all of the things that she did to Gukhwa.

I think that sometimes people who don't want to change miss out on things and possibilities that could open a new world to them. That new world may have negative aspects in them, but every sort of world has at least some positive aspects that will please everyone to a certain extent, even though it may not always be apparent.

A Flight to Somewhere

Yesterday, my brother returned from his spring break trip to Washington DC and New York, NY with his school. It seemed that he had fun, which I had hoped. He didn't get me many things for souvenirs, but got me something at least. He got as many National Holocaust Museum pamphlets about people who were involved in the Holocaust and their stories. He also saved the playbill for the Broadway production of The Lion King. He also got me some jewelry trinkets.








Now, generally, I don't like jewelry trinkets. But I told myself that I'd be willing to change so I can appreciate his gifts better. This sort of change will be slightly difficult for me because I'm not used to wearing jewelry. But, I will adjust my attitude to the situation to better myself. thus willing to this change. I hope that this will able me to take other situations in the better light in the future.

Movie Review

Recently, a friend of mine let me watch this Korean drama movie. The original language is Korean, and not wanting to ruin the original feeling of the movie, I watched it with English subtitles. It's called "The Classic". The title fits because there are so many clichés in the movie. It's about a girl who is having boy problems. (Her best friend likes the same guy and makes her write love letters to the guy.) At the same time, she's reading the diary of her mother's first love, whose situation was very similar to her own.
Although a movie with a lot of clichés would be not very good, it sort of made the essence of the movie. You could predict what the characters would do or what was going to happen next, which sort of made it funny.

While I took the first semester of English over summer, my teacher constantly said, "Don't use clichés." It's hard to, but sometimes that's the only way to get to the point. I thought that it was interesting to put many clichés together in a pack. I don't think that I've seen anybody use that many clichés all at once, which made the movie pretty unique.

Here's the DVD cover:
