Your guide to Asian dramas

Goo Hye Sun, who played the role of Geum Jan Di in Boys Over Flowers is a multi-talented artist. Aside from acting, she dabbles on singing, piano-playing, composing, directing, novel writing and drawing. Talk about real talent!

After exhibiting her short film “Cheerful Caretaker” in the recent Busan Short Film Festival where she won the audience award, Hye Sun is back, this time taking the role of an artist by having her first art exhibit in Seoul’s Lamer Gallery.

The drawings were mostly used in her novel Tango. I’ve read that the proceeds from this exhibit will go to charity so kudos to Hye Sun for giving back.

Surprisingly, Lee Min Ho and Kim Joon came to support Hye Sun during the opening of her exhibit. Wow. Now I’m extremely jealous. Some people have all the talent and cute guys to boot!

Kim Hyun Joong (Sunbae!) and Kim Joon (Woo Bin!) reunite in a music video for Kim Joon’s solo entitled Joon, Be OK included in T-Max’s new album.

I’m really glad that the BOF cast have bonded together and are willing to help each other out.

Kim Joon and Kim Hyun Joong were also present in both Lee Min Ho and Kim Bum’s fan meetings. F4 fandom lives on!

The MV and the new T-Max album will be released on July 9.

For drama otakus like me, it’s pretty interesting to see the anime versions of Japanese live action dramas. And there are a number out there since Jdoramas are mostly taken from mangas.

Hana Yori Dango, for example, has three live action drama versions, two live action movies, an animated feature movie and an anime series. That’s how popular it is.

Nodame Cantabile, another popular manga was also made into a live action drama, an anime and I’ve heard that they’re making a live action movie. More Chiaki-senpai goodness, yay!

I want a Minoz shirt too!

Lee Min Ho, who played the lovable Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, turns 22 today.

As reported earlier, Min Ho held two fan meetings in Korea for his new official fans club “Minoz.”

He was joined by Kim Hyun Joong (Yoon Ji Hoo) and Kim Joon (Song Woo Bin) with his group T-Max while the rest of his friends from BOF–Kim Bum, Goo Hye Sun and Lee Min Jung gave their congratulatory messages on video.

I wasn’t supposed to write another post about his birthday but I just couldn’t resist the photos and videos of him singing live. I may be biased but you gotta admit that Min Ho did pretty well considering he’s not really a singer. Korean stars are known to be generous to their fans and Min Ho isn’t an exception. In fact, he sang two songs during the fan meeting.
