=======================

I didn't see any thread for this drama and thought it's such a waste. This is the drama that airs after "就是要你愛上我 Just You". The main actress is Kirsten Ren (Taiwanese Band SHE Selina's younger sister in real life) and the main actor is Lego Li (It's been too long since his last drama so not many people know him but he's one of my favorite taiwanese actor.)

This story is set in 1995. While some people compare it with kdrama Reply 1994/1997 series, I think it's more like the Chinese movie "至我們終將逝去的青春 So Young". It focuses on character growth and most of the plot happening in the university campus itself. Highly Recommended if you're tired of Makjang and need a breath of fresh air!

Do you know Tsundere?

Hi Soompi!




Does anyone know the expression Tundere? It means Tsun ツン (has a haughty air) Dere デレ(but a wheedling child inside) in Japanese 


For example, look at this manga;


A guy:  Huh? today’s your birthday? no, nothing for ya


how should I manage to buy something like pink sneakers with a ribbon  that you wanted so bad.


A girl;  How do you know?


A boy:  where only women customers are, the colorful and cute shop, how could person like me go?


A girl:   how do you know?


A boy:  why the hell should I go that kind of place only b/c I wanted to see your happy face or something.  Don’t be such a baby!


A boy:  oh, I found this thing on the ground.



This kind of lovable personality we see often in Korean drama^^   Please share some funny stories of tsundere people you know.

Attack on Titan

Plot: Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans. Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a colossal titan that appears out of thin air. As the smaller titans flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single titan and take revenge for all of mankind.

I saw quite a few anime and manga collection on tumblr, and I thought it'd be cool if anyone wanted to post pictures of their own collection.

I don't collect anime DVDs since I cannot afford them, and I rarely watch anime. I do, however, collect manga. I would read them online, and once I've liked the series and are licensed, I would buy them. 

I`ll post my entire manga collection once I've received the ones I've recently ordered, but for now, here's a pic of my collection of Bokura Ga Ita. Bokura Ga Ita is my most recent complete series.

Synopsis:
Credit: dramapot
If you’ve kissed someone over a thousand times in seven years, spoke many frivolous sweet words, every time you kiss there are many people who watch and discuss, just like animals in a cage displaying a passionate show. Can you stand it? Would you still have any passion?

Liu Cheng Wei (Joe Cheng) and Zhang Man Ling (Janine Chang) are that type of on screen couple. Every day they play out an old fashioned love story. They’ve collaborated for seven years in a series of dramas* titled “Sweet ___”, including movies and TV shows which achieved box office and ratings success. Their latest work had ran out of ideas, so they’re filming a Sci-fi movie “Sweet Planet”. This is Man Ling and Cheng Wei’s sixth collaboration in the “Sweet” series.

Cheng Wei can’t take it anymore. He wants a complete transformation! He starts to become difficult and won’t work with the crew. He even ran away to hide and won’t see anyone.
 
Zhang Man Ling is a ‘goddess’, the type everyone loves and worships. Wu Chun Sheng (Qiu Hao Qi) is obsessed with her. He tried to find any opportunity to get close to Man Ling, pretending to be different people just like Leonardo Di Caprio in ‘The Aviator’ to get close to her. In reality, he’s just a lowly stunt double who can’t act. But seeing Cheng Wei not cherishing his goddess Man Ling, he vows for revenge!

Hana Yori Dango 1 + 2.. anymore? ^^
I've been studying Japanese for a year now and I got kind of depressed after realising that I understood more Korean than Japanese. Hrm yes - this is what happens when you watch too many Korean dramas image

My cousin lent me Hana Yori Dango to help saturate me with Japanese stuffs and homg, I was hooked. Makino + Domyoji forever! Never mind my not-so-secret crush on Hanazawa Rui image I probably should watch just heaps of anime in Japanese, but there's just something about watching real actors that makes me pay more attention over animated ones.

ANYHOO can anyone recommend me some Japanese series that you really loved? I heard One Litre of Tears was good, but I'm pretty terrible when it comes to sob-fests (ie. I will probably drown in all my tissues - it was bad enough when Makino broke up with Domyoji in the rain in HYD: Season 2. Sigh.. ), so I want some funny ones too!

Thanks everyone! *gleefully skips off to listen to Flavor of Life for the 120485th time*

EDIT:
Some oldish ones (from 2007 backwards-ish or so) would be good because my download speed sucks, plus it's heaps easier for me to just go out and buy subbed ones at my local Chinatown. Otherwise I can just YouTube/CrunchyRoll it to my heart's content image
