Extended Special: What is love / 花是愛 Review

Wow, I forgot about the only show I AM watching right now. I recommend 花是愛! 

花是愛

A short synopsis: Eva, a hard working women in her 30s is searching for love in today's complicated and free world. Her hopes for a pure love is always intervened by the realistic view on romance. When she finally meets this one man she believes to be the one. His true self, which is a player, comes to haunt her and tell her the truth about today's romance. Although she is hurt, she still believes she will find the "one". Her determination intrigues Adam (The player). The more he tries to win her back (because he wants to prove that love is in fact cruel and unreal) the more he finds "true love". However, now that he truly loves her - she won't believe him any more because he once hurt her. As both couples intervene in each other's lives they come to realize what love they are seeking for and why they were always unable to find "the one". 

I really like it although sometimes it is cheesy or exaggerated but it is theatrically pleasing and with a good plot line. I love how it started off. First episode was a throw off because

Today's Special: I'm SUPER Sorry & A 真愛趁現在 Synopsis

Hello, as you can tell, I haven't been updating at all. 

This post (I hope) will not be my last? 

      I am currently in my first year of University. I'm still not used to it... I live 5 hours from home now so I only get to go back during study weeks. When I do get back I have to work on my papers that are due the next week or study for exams. Luckily my first ever study week was actually a week of relaxation. 

      However, I have not been watching any dramas lately. Not ever since my summer vacation. The only show I'm kinda watching right now is called: 真愛趁現在. I am watching it off of Sugoideas.com again. Luckily it is a day to day show of around 80 episodes once again like 真愛找麻煩. The main actress is once again Annie Chen which makes me  happy because I like her a lot as an actress. George Hu is the main actor. currently 4 episodes are out. The progress is quite quick in fact. It makes me worried as well knowing it's an aprox of 80 episodes. 

Here's a quick synopsis: 
From what I see it is about a working woman that believed she had Cancer - Therefore could live only a couple of months. Knowing this, her family recommends

Today's Special: I'm on Vacation, there will be no updates?

      Heyys! I'm currently in Korea for 5 days then I'm going back to Hong Kong. I rarely get internet connection so I can't really do drama recaps or any reviews what so ever. I can't even update my personal blog... so yeah. Heys! (: 

Hope you're having a great summer if you're on break as well! (:

Today's Special: Blog updates!

      Heys! So school's almost over for me so I'm starting to have time on my hands. That's why I was able to give a recap last night. (morning to be exact...) When the exam week and university course registrations roll in, I'm going to be busy again though... 

      I felt like I needed to change a few things on the website so I tried changing the layout to dynamic views. If you were on the website at the time you could see, every time you changed pages... it had a different view but I stuck to this layout once again. It was too hard to code everything all over again... (Click to enlarge them)

To simply see these dynamic views without needing to change my layout you can also type "/view" at the end of my link and select the style you want at the drop box (in the left corner). Here's the fast way: [click here]. 

      Also! as you can tell I have a new recap that means I've fixed the image limit! I'm still a bit worried about that though cause I don't know if it's actually fixed or it's just me getting lucky right now... and now I've added

Today's Special: Inborn Pair / 真愛找麻煩 EP 01 Recap

      This is a super late post. I'm just trying this out. I wrote a review a while back and I know it's like an 80 episode series and I got to say, if I DID recap all the episodes. It'd mean I SERIOUSLY had nothing to do. I watched this series like twice already but I'm still going to try recapping at least the first episode. 

Fun Fact: First time I watched it, I started in the middle of the series because of curiosity. Then I went to the first episode after watching 3 episodes in the 20th episodes. 
      The episode starts off with tribal music. We see a man in a suit  walking into a conference room and a woman sitting at her desk. 

  

The woman and the man talking about the virtues of life. Or at least what everyone looks for. They then identify themselves as people who aren't like the average people. They're saying like how, to women - love is their most important thing. To men, work is the most important thing. However, this man, doesn't believe so - in fact, love is important to him. But for the woman, she doesn't care about love. 

She's just started on her career so love means absolutely nothing. In a very uncommon way, both leads introduce us the title of the drama. 

真愛 - says the guy in a very natural tone. 

找麻煩 - says the girl in a very irritated voice. 

(Intro sonngggg! - I love the intro song)

The man who was in a nice suit is now in a zoo keeper's outfit and talking to a bunch of kids about a parrot. Behind him in the bushes is a woman who's watching him and...

Today's Special: Response to the comments

Hello anonymous', I'm sorry I didn't respond to your comments before. I can't really recap... until I find more time and a website that allows fast upload and easy linking of pictures due to the image limit on this server. :S 
      On the other hand, there are websites out there that have the videos for Absolute boyfriend (Taiwan) in English subs. Fastest website I know out there would be Sugoideas. Just search that up and I'm sure you'll find it! But I'm very sorry for not having recaps. I hope you're enjoying the drama though! and I'm sure there are other recaps out there! :D 
      Also, people interested in Rooftop Prince (the idea of time travelling, mystery and romance), would also be interested in

Today's Special: Recent stuff related to Dramas

When I type my text like this I guess it's more personal because I like this font but when my font is in Helvetica it's for recapping cause it looks more tidy! :) So today's post is on what I've been doing recently that have been drama related. Here's the list again:

• Rooftop Prince - Why I'm fed up with it
• Hiiro no Kakera - Why I am fed up with it
• Grey's Anatomy - Season Finale Talk 
• Fondant Garden - Guitar for Ai Ni! 

First of all, I stopped watching

Today's Special: Why I have been gone & A post about my worries

      Before I tell you why I have been gone for such a long time I'd like to say Sorry. I don't even know if I have readers that actually pay close attention to my blog but if you do, I'm SUPER sorry. To guide you through my post I'll make a short list below of what's in my post. :P

• Solved internet problem!

      So, I've found a way to keep my internet constantly running even though

Today's Special: Absolute boyfriend (絕對達令) EP 1 Recap

      I know I normally do full recaps with pictures and such. I would but last night I stayed up watching Lord of the Rings with my brother and friend so I'm like super tired and my head hurts like crazy. Still didn't finish watching Lord of the rings, Still have the last movie to watch, so instead I just watched Absolute boyfriend (Taiwan version). I talked about it a bit in a previous post.  I'll do full recap once I have the time, like I always do. When the subtitles are out... you can watch it yourself and my recaps will seem useless.

The episode starts off with

Today's Special: My current playlist!

      Heys! Instead of a Drama recap / review today I'm going to post a bit about myself! :D I know you wouldn't want to read about how my day went or what kind of person I am so instead of that I'm going to tell you what music I have been listening to for the past few days! :) Most of the songs are from Grey's anatomy because I was so addicted to it I just had to listen to their soundtrack to last through my days. Here's the list:

Extended Special (2): Taiwan / Mainland Drama Recommendations

      Continuation of previous post - now Taiwan and Mainland dramas. To understand why there is this post please refer to (here). For Japanese recommendations please refer to (here). Recommend a few Taiwanese / Mainland dramas to me below by commenting since I've been bored and I have time to watch stuff. Better watch before I have no more time left. But I'll have tons in the summer so maybe I shouldn't get any recommendations... Oh well, Here's the list of Taiwanese / Mainland dramas recommendations (Ones I've watched): 

Extended Special (1): Japanese Drama Recommendations

Here's the Japanese list (continuation from previous post). Please refer to previous post if you don't understand why this is here. But you can still continue. Comment to recommend any Japanese dramas to me cause lately I've been bored! So here's the Japanese drama list:

Today's Special: It's now your turn & Korean Drama Recommendations

      Kay so I started this entry thinking it'd be short. In the end to compensate all the times I've let people down. I'm cutting this post into 3 different parts. 1st part - Korean dramas and my recommendations (super short recommendations) And this is because I have time. Just imagine my summer... Oh god. And This post was actually for you to suggest some dramas to me. In the end... I'm suggesting dramas again. Still post comments anywhere for drama suggestions because really. I'm bored and I have nothing to do... I've played online games already! So here it is:

Today's Special: Updates, Fondant Garden & Spellbound / Chilling Romance

I haven't recapped or reviewed anything recently and my March break ended just a day ago so here's update on me! Yayy! (: 
      So first of all, I'm sorry I haven't been blogging and that I didn't use my awesome break time to recap stuff. But I can't make up for it cause I need to pay attention to my school work. Instead I'm going to tell you about how I'm doing. (If you'd like to know). First of all, my march break was pretty okay. Not relaxing because it just gave me time to think about my future and whether I really wanted the program I was going to go into when I go into university. In the end, my plan B is entering teacher's college somewhere and becoming a kindergarten teacher like I always wanted. It'd be a waste though cause I love languages, I guess I can always teach the kids extra languages... (in kindergarten?). 
      Secondly, I joined a club at my school that's producing videos! Yayy! we haven't filmed anything yet though... so yeah. But I wrote scripts for my club hoping they were okay... not too boring. Here's a screen cap! 

The ones with a star are documents for the club! And there's even a folder! Yay! As you can see the club's name is Lights Camera Action. I can't wait until we finally start filming stuff! 

      Other than that I've also started translating things online again. There's the forum Darksmurfsub that offers subs that is translated by people online! I joined last year to translate Myung Wol but now I'm translating Spell bound / Chilling Romance. I can practically tell you

Today's Special: Q10 Review

      I'm on my break! March break to be precise. That means I should be posting more since I have the time. This is one of the dramas on my To-Do list but instead of giving you recaps of each episode (that could possibly be available on google search) I'm just going to give you a review. Here's the poster view: 

As you can tell those are the main people of the drama. It's a Japanese drama to be clear. It is a romance comedy with a slice of life. The guy is good looking - so I picked it up at the store and started watching it. I saw him before in Meichan's Butler but that's about it. This drama actually allowed me to cry. What ever drama I cry with / laugh with = to a pretty good drama. Ones that don't evoke any emotions makes me think that I won't remember it ever... = to a bad drama. This drama could be teaching you a lesson if you

Today's Special: To all the lovers of Inborn pair!

As a drama addict I kept myself updated. But it seems I haven't been updated enough because I just saw the poster picture for Absolute boyfriend - Taiwanese version. Unlike many people out there that are super happy for Goo hye sun and Jiro Wang. I am SUPER HAPPY for the second main guy lead. WHICH IS: 謝坤達! OMG! if you're a Inborn pair viewer you'd come to understand that 謝坤達 - is 柯偉呈! Here's a poster view of Absolute boyfriend (taiwanese version):

Picture from Allkpop

SEEEEE! The guy at the top?! He's 柯偉呈! The player from Inborn pair! OMG! I love himmm! Especially now that he's changed so much for his girlfriend! I'm totally watching it for HIM! and not Go Hye sun and Jiro Wang. But yeah... I don't have any previews or any reviews on it or suggestions. But I just wanted to tell you guys that he's in it cause I love him :) Btw, you can go look around for it - it's called: 絕對達令. 

That's all for today! Have a great day! :)

Today's Special: Code Blue (Season I & II) Review

If you are only on this post of the Review on Code Blue Season 1 & 2 skip the paragraph until the picture! :)

      If you're someone who's been keeping track of my post ever since my early days then I'm sorry for letting you down. I know I haven't been updating at all. Main reason is that I didn't have internet for 2 weeks. Funny thing is, when I'm not on often, there are more people that visit. There have been an increase in visits from the States and Indonesia! YAY! (: Thank you guys, I know you're just coming for the recaps. But this time it's a blog about myself and maybe a short drama review. 

      If you guys didn't know I'm in grade 12. And I'm totally nervous about university and my marks so I probably won't be updating as much as before as you can tell with the decrease in posts. But, I do have a life and I've been watching greys anatomy, starting Once upon a time and watch New girl every Tuesday. If Terra Nova were still on I'd be watching that too. If you're someone that's interested in Western shows those are really good! (OH! and Big Bang Theory and Community). And since I've been watching Grey's Anatomy I've been thinking of Code Blue, SO - today it will be a review on Code Blue season 1 and 2.

I actually REALLY liked Code Blue. I've watched it 3 or 4 times over and over again (Plus the special). First of all this drama has little romance so if you're looking for

Today's Special: Zenkai Girl Review

      I'm sorry this isn't a recap... But I'm trying. I just started grade 12 Semester 2. And I'm trying to get use to me sleep hours again. I swear, If I could relive a time. I wouldn't want to relive grade 12. It's the most stressful period of time I've had ever since birth. I just hope University isn't worse than this... SO! Zenaki Girl. I gave it a try a few months ago, and it didn't turn out good. I then bought the DVD set because I had nothing to watch and my internet was down. I gave it another try, and I found it okay. So here's my review before I actually get the time to do recaps. Here's the promotional poster view of this drama:

So this drama is about a lawyer (Aragaki Yui) and a stay at home dad (Nishikido Ryo) as you can see on the poster. This lawyer has money and status as her main goal in life whereas the SatH dad only thinks about the happiness of his 'son'. The first episode of this drama actually felt different compared to the rest of the series. I actually liked the rest of the series than the first episode. The first episode threw me off. It was kinda like... Hmm... 

      So, the lawyer joins a big firm but instead of being a lawyer she becomes nanny of the child of the boss of the firm (Whoa that was a mouthful). Only problem is that

Today's Special: Inborn Pair / 真愛找麻煩 review

[EDIT: Monday, June 11 - 2012] I recapped Episode 01 [click here] to read it! (:
      I know I promised to write reviews about the dramas and movies in my 'Progress and updates' page but there is this drama that I'm watching recently and I'm so addicted to the point where I tried to catch up to episode 38 in one day. The drama I'm talking about is called Inborn pair (真愛找麻煩). Here's a picture view: 

Inborn Pair (真愛找麻煩) - Picture from the viki channel

One thing I super love about this drama is that it is released from Monday to Friday. Meaning I don't have to wait that long for a new episode (and I hate waiting for episodes when they are this good). I started watching yesterday so what I got from my nonstop watching is like compacted with happiness. First of all, I was bored and so I wanted to rewatch my most favourite Taiwanese dramas since I've slightly lost interest in Korean dramas. There are really good ones out but I don't really want to wait for subs. Since I understand Mando, I resulted to Taiwanese dramas. Now for the review and some background on the drama.

      As you can see the main couple is Chris Wang and Annie Chen. They are both really cute in this. And I gotta agree, Annie is beautiful. But at first, the best friend (Chris' best friend) was quite similar in facial features with Annie so it was sometimes confusing. But when you watch it and enjoy it you'll be able to tell them apart easily. Too bad I can't find any character maps, cause then it'd be easier to explain.

      This drama is kinda like a family special. Not only do you see the main couple in action but

Today's Special: Love Sick / Love Phobia (戀愛恐慌症) Review

      If you've watched In Time with You and you just can't get over it yet... Love sick is here for you! (: Thank god the DVD stores had them out. It's wonderful. Funny and has a hint of romance in it. Most of all I get to see my most beloved couple from In Time With You ALL OVER AGAIN! (: Here is the poster: 

 From their expressions you can tell it's suppose to be funny. The story of this movie is really simple. I think a lot of us might live her way. 

      When she was young, (around highschool - university age) she fell in love with

Today's Special: Sign (Korean Drama) Review

      Like I promised 2 posts before, I'm going to start recapping again. Here's the first Review of a Drama. This time I'm focusing on a Korean Drama named Sign. I originally didn't want to watch this but, since my mom liked medical and police involved dramas I chose this one for her. Surprisingly I was hooked from the first episode. It was like Code Blue but with a thriller taste in it. Code Blue was more like a Slice of life kinda of drama. From another blog I found the poster pictures for the drama: 

Here is the dramawiki to this drama series: here The poster actually gives off a pretty good feel to the drama as well. I really liked how

Extended Special: Website Update

I haven't been on this website for some time and you guys are still visiting! (: I feel so happy! If you have tumblr, you can add me: Inkscraps. So I was looking through the status of the website and it is quite interesting.

Thank you for the views! I almost reached that line at the top at some time but that was long before. It was August... Now it's the start of January and I'm still getting more views than when I started and I want to thank you guys! :)The most page views by countries is...

Today's Special: Drama & Movie suggestions

      Heyys! I haven't blogged here in so long, I wonder if anyone even checks here anymore... So I've recently, gotten tumblr and just kept reblogging there I forgot about actually recapping anything. So instead I'm going to give you a review / suggestion. Once I have more time (it maybe never since I'm grade 12 now...) I'll recap something. Maybe you'll have to wait half a year until I'll start recapping again... However, I do update the status and progress tab. So every now and then you can check whether I've actually done anything. 

      So recently, I've gotten DVDs for real old dramas. They aren't like SUPER old but they are old compared to the ones now. None of the ones now are capturing my interest (in any country or language) so, I've recently started re-watching old dramas and I'm planning to recap the ones that no one ever wants to recap because they are too long or known enough so that it doesn't need to be recapped. Here is the list:
