Yi San - review

~Drama Review~



How many times have you told yourself after a drama “this was the best drama ever!”? If you’re like me, you probably did countless of times; however, after watching “Yi San – King Jeong” I don’t think I’ll ever use these words so lightly. Lee Byung Hoon PD did it again people, just this time, he surpassed himself. I have to give it to him and all the people who worked on this drama, from the scriptwriter, producers, staff, and actors, everyone did a wonderful job. Wow! I actually have no word appropriate enough to describe this powerful representation of the life of King Jeong Jo, 22nd ruler of the Joseon Dynasty.

The storyline revolves around the life of King Jeong Jo (Yi San) who was one of the greatest rulers of the Joseon Dynasty. The drama starts when he is 11 years old and moves on to show all the struggles he experienced from his young years. There is also some romance in the side story of the king and Song Yeon, a young girl from a poor background whom he met during his childhood. Along with Dae Su, the nephew of a eunuch, the three become friends and meet during Yi San’s adult life. Song Yeon and Yi San’s affection for each other grows into love and she eventually becomes a royal concubine while Dae Su’s unrequited love remains unfulfilled. The story evolves to focus onto the political tensions of the time and Yi San’s struggles to accede to the throne first then the achievement of some his innovative ideas for a new Joseon.

At first glance, the drama might seem long and boring. Yes, 77 episodes will not be watched in one day –and yes, you might not be interested by politics - but let me tell you, your time will be worth every second you’ll spend in front of your screen. I’m the type of person who gets bored very easily especially while watching historical dramas but I found myself watching 8-10 episodes of “Yi San” in a row every night until the end – no kidding! You just can’t stop once you’ve started.



This drama is great because it touches King Jeong Jo's human side while keeping things simple. I can definitely see things happening in real life as they were portrayed in the drama.Lee Seo Jin (and his killer dimples lol!), Han Ji Min, Park Eun Hye and Lee Jong Soo, the main casts, showed their great skills, adding true emotions and passion to their roles. It is really hard not to love the characters and get attached to them; even the bad characters grow on you. Overall I will give a 10 to this drama. The only negative point that I can see is that it had to end haha.

Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did~

Music: Yak Sok (Promise) by Jang Yoon Jeong, Yi San's insert and 2nd ending song.

Hana Yori Dango final

~Japanese Movie~
Hana Yori Dango Final ==> 花より男子~ファイナル~ ==> Boys Over Flowers Finale





Cast: Inoue Mao, Matsumoto Jun, Oguri Shun, Matsuda Shota, Abe Tsuyoshi

Synospsis:

I, Doumyouji Tsukasa, have formally decided to get married in the spring of next year! I will be marrying the woman of my destiny, who captured my heart and never let it go, Makino Tsukushi!!

In a hotel in Japan, Tsukasa held an extravagant press conference to announce this to the entire world. Afterwards, Tsukushi is targeted even by television programs, which are hailing her as a modern-day princess.

Following that, when the Makino family and the Doumyouji family gathered together to give their engagement presents to the couple, Doumyouji's mother, Kaede, once Tsukushi's divine enemy who was always opposed to the match, offered Tsukushi a 10-billion-yen tiara as proof of her acceptance of the engagement. The tiara, named the "Smile of Venus," is an heirloom that has been passed down through the generations to women in the Doumyouji family.

That night, as she sat in her hotel room watching the tiara sparkle, Tsukushi embraced all of her worries about how, by marrying Tsukasa, who had become successor to his family corporation, everything in her peaceful life was about to change. Tsukasa, sensing her mental state, swore to her, "I will protect you for the rest of my life. Come with me without any worries!" But in front of the two at that moment, suddenly, a man dressed in black crashed through the window, took the tiara, and ran away! Not knowing what was going on, Tsukushi and Tsukasa chased after the man. But in the blink of an eye, he vanished into the city.

Dumbfounded by this event, the two returned to the hotel room only to be dumbfounded again at the sight before their eyes. The window glass that had only just been broken, and the furniture that had been damaged in Tsukasa's struggle with the man, had all been replaced as if nothing had ever happened!

This way, the situation takes on the appearance not of the tiara having been stolen, but that Tsukushi lost it herself. They must get it back at any cost! This is no time to be getting married now! Is the owner of the hotel in on it as an accomplice too? Is his goal the 10-billion tiara? Or to put a stop to Tsukushi and Tsukasa's wedding? And who is the culprit...?

In order to retrieve the "Smile of Venus" tiara, which legend has it will "bring eternal love to its bearer," Tsukushi and Tsukasa give chase through Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and throughout the world. And, what of the "F4," who have begun to walk their own paths in life? What are they doing now, and where are they?
