Jang Geun Suk rocks in Mary Stayed Out All Night

It always feels good when your idol or a person you really like shares similar things with you, however mundane it may be. My fangirl heart leapt when I found out that Hyun Bin was a Catholic. Now, it seems that I may share a similarity with another Korean actor, the adorable Jang Geun Suk.

Back when I was in high school, my ultimate dream was to have my own rock band. I even learned to play the guitar and wrote songs with my girlfriends. Seriously! Jang Geun Suk seems to share this dream as he is again playing the role of a musician in his new drama Mary Stayed Out All Night.

The long wait is finally over because two of the most anticipated Korean dramas are premiering on Philippine television this Monday, August 16.

First to show on the 5:30pm timeslot in ABS-CBN Ch. 2 is the trendy drama He’s Beautiful (aka You’re Beautiful) starring Jang Geun Suk as Tae Kyung, Park Shin Hye as Go Mi Nam/Mi Nyu, Jung Yong Hwa as Shin Woo and Lee Hong Ki as Jeremy.  These three guys plus one girl (who’s acting like a guy) comprise the famous idol group A.N. Jell.  As Go Mi Nam tries to hide her identity as a girl from the fans and the rest of the group, a lot of drama, laughter and mishaps happen which is definitely worth looking forward to.  Watch this romantic-comedy and discover why it has become a hit last year.

Replacing Queen Seon Deok in the evening primetime slot on GMA7,  after Endless Love, is 2008′s most anticipated drama in Korea, East of Eden.  Starring Song Seung Hun (Johnny of Endless Love 1), Yun Jung Hoon, Lee Da Hae (My Girl) Lee Yeon Hee, Han Ji Hye (Sweet 18) and Dennis Oh, this drama tells the intertwined fates of two different men born on the same day at the same time.  It also stars Kim Bum of Boys over Flowers as the young Song Seung Hun.  Pegged as MBC’s 47th Anniversary Special Project, the drama’s timeline starts just after the Korean war up to the present time.

These two dramas are from different genres but both are worth watching.  Catch them on the two networks and immerse yourself in the romance, comedy and intrigue that these Korean dramas always bring.

Korean boy group FT Island performed in ABS-CBN’s Showtime yesterday much to the delight of their screaming fans.  The band performed the song Still/As Ever from the original sound track of the Korean drama You’re Beautiful (S/He’s Beautiful, 미남이시네요) where their lead singer, Lee Hongki, played the character of Jeremy who is the drummer of the faux group A.N.Jell.  After singing, Lee Hongki said “Jolie” in his Jeremy voice. Now, how cute is that?!? Mytor and I actually screamed when we heard him while we were at the office.

Afterwards, Jaejin invited the fans to watch their showcase today (March 6) at the PICC which will start at 6:00pm.  Hong Ki also encouraged the fans to watch You’re Beautiful which will be airing soon and said, “Mahal ko kayo” (I love you all) at the end.

Watch out for our fan account of the concert later. For now, here’s the video of FT Island’s performance courtesy of eytcetera.

It is quite obvious that Mytor and I are You’re Beautiful addicts ne? And thanks to my fangirl friend Pao who is currently enjoying the freezing weather in Seoul,  I was able to visit the place where most scenes in Episode 6 of YB were shot — Myeong Dong, Seoul.
