Untitled

Since this is my blog I think it's only write that I post entries that describe me. Right now I'm a writer in a 'writer's block' because I can't write anything decent these days. So many stories pop in to my mind and while I'm thinking about plots and characters I really feel that it's going to be a good story but the problem is when I try to put my story into words on paper my mind goes blank. I can't write decent introductions, I can't describe my characters properly, and sometimes I find my stories going absolutely nowhere. I don't know how writers like J.K Rowling can write novels with hundreds of pages. They must have a huge imagination and a lot of paper and patience while writing. I'm a really impatient person. Right now, while I'm writing this I think that my writing sucks because I find it hard to organize ideas.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I think that I'm an awful writer. I envy my friend who can write smoothly and use extravagant words. I find it hard doing those kind of things. I think that my term paper is crap, my essays suck, my ideas are rotten, and my thoughts are messy. Okay, I'm going to stop belittling myself now.

Sea Eugene Shoo

Take out the first letters of their name and it'll form the name of their group. I'm not going to say that I'm their avid and loyal fan since I only found out about them recently but I am going to say that I'm a fan. I'm not really a fan of kPop. I actually hated them so much before because I don't like music that I don't understand and I definitely don't understand Korean. Anyway, I became a fan of this girl group at first because I'm a fan of Eugene, a Korean actress. Naturally I went on researching about her and I found out that during her teen years she was a member of a famous Korean 'idol' group. After that I went on researching about this certain girl group. I tried listening to their music and instantly became a fan so now I'm listening to them.

I don't really know why I'm posting about this but I just wanted to say that it's the first time I became a fan of a Korean 'idol' group. :D

Second Best

I don't really know why but lately, when I watch Korean dramas, I always fall for the second guy. The guy I know that will not get the girl. I recently finished watching Mary Stayed Out All Night and at first I like Mae-ri and Moo Gyul together because they look so cute together. Of course, from the beginning of the story the viewers could already guess that Moo Gyul will end up with Mae-ri in the end. Then Jung In entered the scene and even though he was a cold and emotionless person at the beginning he changed. He loved Mae-ri and even protected her no matter what. But still it is Moo Gyul who Mae-ri loves so Jung In let her go and they just became friends or oppa and dosaeng. Frankly, the outcome of the love story was predictable but while I was watching I kept hoping for a twist in the story that could make Mae-ri and Jung In be together but then again that was just me.

Then in Save the Last Dance for Me I really wanted Eun-soo to choose Tae-min. That scene in the train station got me screaming in my head. Anyway, I really got mad at Hyung-so when he forgot about Eun-soo and ran off after their engagement. Curse him for that. But Tae-min became friends with Eun-soo and even helped her get a job. He changed just for her but in the end he's still the bad guy but he also changed. Still, if only Eun-soo just chose him from the start then everything would've been okay. I loved the part where Tae-min tried roller skating even though he doesn't know how (he's not very athletic but is good in academics) just to make Eun-soo smile.

Love, Bread, and Dreams was not disappointing for me. Haha. The second guy gets the girl. Even though Ma Jun and Yu Kyung seemed like an evil pair (is that you Blair and Chuck) their unusual love story made me love them more than Kim Tak Gu. I have to admit that at first it was heartbreaking when Yu Kyung chose Ma Jun over Tak Gu just to have her revenge on Ma Jun's mother. Also, at first, Ma Jun wanted to be with Yu Kyung because he wants revenge over Tak Gu. But as the series progresses Ma Jun really fell in love with Yu Kyung. There was a time when Ma Jun's mom told him to break up with Yu Kyung because he already won. She knew that Ma Jun was just pissing her off, blah blah blah. But Ma Jun doesn't want to oblige to her wish because according to Ma Jun he can't live without Yu Kyung. He feels like he's dying when she's (Yu Kyung) not by his side. Blah blah blah. Then during the last episode he finally told Yu Kyung that he loves her. I guess she loves him too though it wasn't mentioned but the fact that they're married and plans to travel the world together must mean that they love each other.

There are many other dramas where I often prefer the second guy over the main guy because they are more charming. I guess it's because I know how it feels to be second best.
