Japanese movie marathon.

kimi ni todoke
High School debut
Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru
Time traveller the girl who leapt through time

After seeing "I give my first love to you". I liked the short and sweet so much I decided its not so bad watching Japanses movies. and baby steps so I only wanted to watch Japanese teen genre. I'll save the heavy stuff for some other time maybe never. This is the pattern I  figured out. There will be a romance in Japanese Stories. but most of the ones i seen The people don't stay together. For different reasons. someone dies, forbidden romance you can't be sexing up your twin sister without someone finding out, people split up. and when they split its always on good terms. Thats why I never like the endings. They leave them too open ended. But "I give my love to you" was okay. cause we knew the guy was going to die and he does. Time traveller set us up for a sweet ending. but nope they had to make that sad.

I think this week I'm going to try atleast one Russian show or movie. See if they can entertain me .

finished rooftop prince last night

The Ending bothered me. First If I knew my man was disappearing and are time together was coming to a end. I don't really think id be worried about marriage. id be trying to loose my virginity. and if I got pregnant, cool. something to remember you by...... well I guess not so much a good idea when Tai young comes out of the coma. But When Tai comes out of the coma and seeks out with Park HA at first im like did he remember her from american or is he just that friendly when chatting up females strangers he wants to hook up with. they at the last few seconds hes wearing Joseon royalty clothes. and I'm confused. Does he remember his past lives and his time travel when he woke from the coma? cause if he didn't have the memories how likely is it that he would in such speed randomly find her juice shop? I'm gonna assume that they did the clothes and the drawing to let the viewer know that he remembers all his lives. present and 300 years ago.

My new favorite movie

I just seen 'I give my love to you'.  This is such a sweet movie. My favorite part is when Mayu is called on stage as a Honer student. and instead of giving a inspirational speech she yells across the Auditorium at her boyfriend that did he really think he could just get rid of her? she hired 10 tutors and got the highest score. so she could get into this school.  They had to drag her off the stage.
there were crying moments and this is hilarious moments. Japanese tend to go to the dark in their stories. sure this was a I'm dying movie. But it wasn't as slapped together as some Japanese Dramas and the ending was shockingly satisfying. Another thing I noticed Japanese aren't afraid of teenage sex like Koreans. And not overly obsessed with teen sex the way Americans are. you got the whole Asian modesty going on. but its not as Awkward to watch as Korean Tv. Infact when there is no sex there is no tension. example nobuto product. that had 2 males and one female. and they all spent a lot of time alone together. but youd think that they were all Eunuchs. Frankly If I was a teen girl in that situation id have been on the sly with either one or both guys secretly..... well one of them without the other finding out. wouldn't want to add jealousy to a balanced eco system.
ohh!! Mei-chan's Butler that was awesome!. I would love to have a butler. that butler ( Mizushima Hiro is an Adonis)  *lady growl* it be all forbidden to hook up. but for me that be the Challenge: 1. not getting caught. 2. enticing this straight laced man to loosen up. we all know he liked her. he fell in love with her before she met him. thats why he became her butler.
I think I'm going to watch "closer to heaven next." probably another movie about someone dying.

dentist

I went to the dentist today so they could fix 3 teeth one the filling fell out. once again Zy was walking around like her parents owned the place. I can't believe her GM just lets her chill like that. makes me uncomfortable about letting Zy stay at her home for a week or even a day.

school progress

Today I had a dental appointment, I have 3 cavities. one I had before apparently healed itself. Thats not the first time I had a cavity that healed itself. While I was in the exam room waiting, Zy was in the front desk with her God mother. GM did Zys hair in 3 sections. looked really cute.
I went to a parent meeting at Zys school this afternoon. This was the last one of the year. Zy's progress was really good. she knows all her letters and sounds. all the shapes and she can count to 49. and at her age average is 29. I asked the teacher why some kids around Zys age are stating kindergarten in the fall. and its because those kids are in Lancaster. If I have to commute or beg. I don't know but I will get Zy in Kindergarten. Shes too smart to have halted progress. One more year in preschool is just going to teach her things she already knows. and for me her education is more important then almost anything right now.
She can wright her name really good. and she writes it without a guild line from the teacher. she writes her first and last name.
 I told the teacher how I'm trying to teach Zy how to hold a image in her head, even if its for a few seconds.She thinks thats a very good idea. I can find images in my head, even for things I seen weeks before. its something I had to teach myself to do. and I can't really do it for faces. But I do It for spelling. and remembering where I read something.

Zy drew this picture while I was in the dentist office. She was having fun with the bright colors. She said those aren't people she knows.

wall progress, broken tv

I was in a real groove. and didn't want to stop. only reason I stopped is cause my tv fell and the screen cracked. Part of me is like well I bought it in 2007 so i'm sure I got my moneys worth. also I never turn it on.
But the another part of me is like i don't have the money to replace it. I was gonna start using it for workouts indoors. Its also the biggest tv in the house. I wanted to mount it on the wall, I don't have the money for a mount.
I fell like I'm in a hole. Its not really the fact I lost a tv. Its the fact that I'm not in a position to replace it. I'm in a tiny room that I have to share with my daughter. It doesn't make sense cause this is a 3 bedroom house. and The room I'm in is the only room thats being used as a bedroom. My mother sleeps in the living room. Why can't I or Zy move to another room? CAuse my mother is sick in the head. she's saving  one room for my father  that may never come back. and the other room is basically storage. I want to call hoarders on her. but this isn't as bad as the house that make it on that show.
 looking around this room is so discouraging.  you know what I want. what I have always wanted: to have a clean house. thats clutter free, and in good condition without the need for pairs. and if something does brake I want to have the means to fix it. weather its calling a repairman. or because I live with someone that can fix things.

well here are photos of the progress I made today. I'm sure I will be sore tomorrow. i would do more but I'm very angry right now. Its the rage. I've been eating so I don't think its from hunger. Scraping was a workout. so it may be from lack of fuel in my body. I'll eat a green banana before I sleep. so I don't strangle someone. (joke)

sharing my gift

I had this dream i was helping two boys. The were from abusive home lives. and something happened and another teacher came in (I guess she was a teacher. And that would make me a teacher) and told me I was risking my job. one of the boy's father was a politician. and he was only tying to get back at his dad. I say I thought of that possibility. But There were some truths in the claims. Then the other teacher points out that the kid was 18 and thats the legal age. But the other boy I guess was still in need. (the other teacher happened to be Heather Graham for some ODD reason)
anyway all day yesterday I was thinking about my gifts and Major choice. When i wasn't worrying about failing on my juice cleanse. This dream must be help in my uncertainty. first thing I have to change my major.
1. main reason i picked it is cause I want large amounts of money. But honestly I want the things money can buy more. Like a house, Education, and travel. And I thought of my sister. she gets large amounts of money and her job isn't grueling. Sometimes she can even calling to work. Her degree is Business. Right now I'm registered as business admin. But I was going to transfer to a university for international business management.
I want to help people. more then I want to be a corporate slave. Not the poorest of the poor. I want to help the overlooked people in middle class places. I will help the poorest, just on a grander scale like donating to organizations. I want to help middle class youths one on one cause I been there. I seen what goes on behind the picket fences. I want to be a mentor. For adolescents, not really children (because they get on my nerves).
That means social science degree. I'm Not really What specific degree maybe phycology. psychiatrist make lots of money. but then I'd be stuck in a room. I guess I could be unconventional and watch the kids in their environment to make assessments, when parents ask for a consultation. I think i would prefer to be a social worker. but I hear they have a lot of paperwork. and don't make as much money. I understand working for love and sharing your gift. but I would rather work and not have to worry about the universe sending me things I want. Shopping fells so good. and I want to be fortunate to buy things instead of having to window shop. So money is part of my degree choice. I suppose it would take the same amount of time for this degree. I can learn another language on the side. I guess that I can trust the universe with, sending me a language teacher. I hope this is what I'm ment to do. I hope this is the correct decision. I'm not looking forward to getting a Doctorate. I want to start work before that point. aw well. I do feel less anxious about the future with a social degree then with a  business degree.

day one juice cleanse

Purple carrots and beats. on my first cup. If this was fresh juice I would have pounded that. but right now i'm babying it. cause its just too nasty.

strong heart... i think

I'm watching a Korean celeburty variety show. and one of the guys lifted his shirt at his entrance and let the audience touch his belly. the a hater starts in on him saying he's got a potbelly "naturally flabby belly" and the hater start in on his clothes saying that he was wearing lounge ware and she should have dressed up since hes on TV. also they notice that the guys pants are ARMY issue and then the hater seriously says out loud "are you so poor that you have to wear your Army clothes."  sooo mean this went on for a while and only stopped cause the host changed the subject. cold blooded.

cleanse fail

okay So I didn't start the cleanse today. i was mainly scared to. cause when I bought the juice and told to cashier what I wanted it for she tells me "be careful cause you might pass out." I was like no. but as the days went on that's bugging me. and I really don't want to go through hunger pains. and I also get very ragey when I don't eat well. i tried to get my cousin to watch a few dramas. he said he did. i don't believe him. but i'll forgive him cause he gave me a song from the hunger games soundtrack.

Princess's man review

Okay so it took me a while to get into this one cause the first 5 mins everyone dies. and i just haven't recovered from Chuno. so I'm wary of getting emotionally invested in a show and have the people I'm rooting for end up dead at the end. So seeing the first 5 mins of princess's man I was like damn I already know y'all going to die so no point in me watching and feeling sad when the time comes. so it took me a few months to go back to this and watch past the death opening. but when I did let me tell you I couldn't stop watching. no mater how irritating the female leads life choices were, I just kept watching.
This one like pretty much all dramas had 2 men chasing one female. I liked the rival, really liked him. and in this case it wasn't just rooting for the underdog.......well maybe a little. but I liked his personality a lot better then the  male lead. Like in Chuno they were both equally good looking in different ways.
guy 1 was BEAUTIFUL! not quite too delicate of face to be confused with being a woman. but a  rare form of masculine beauty. there were a few scenes I was breathless gazing at his face. and it helped that he didn't really have much lines. he did a lot of standing around with a slight smile on his face. he also went through a kill them all ninja style dark phase. he effectively pulled off the sexy silent. On screen he had this strong almost agressive presences. when he looked at the FL I felt it. its like he was touching her with a look. and he makes you believe that anytime he looks a any woman it with a the deep caressing stare. *le gasp* *fans myself* I can't think of any other male lead that has the scrip directions to just stand ther, and pull this off by even a fraction. one actor that comes to mind is the guy in Samsoon he has a lot of just stand ther and look scenes, and he does it so poorly I can't interpret whats going on in his head. infact by me not pointing out that he almost looks brain dead in these scenes i'm being overly nice.
Moving on to guy 2, he was beautiful but more masculine. He has  a sweet boyish face. and I think this actor is older then guy 1. anyway first thing I liked about him was his amazing lips. they always had a soft tentionless look to them. I know he was a "bad guy" but I didn't feel it. I saw the remorse and guilt. and I think the main reason he started the things he did was he wanted to protect his father. The girl was second reason. i'm not sure he really loved her. he liked her. but i don't think he allowed himself to really see her as "his woman" cause the way he behaved with her was so filled with guilt, and a bit of fear. she was scary in the way she treated him. so cold.
Me personnely if I was her, I would have gave in to guy2. but under the excuse of my father ordered me to marry him or if i was a little bit hardheaded like her. and was made his slave cause I refused to marry guy 2. Id have hooked up with him then. At that point he wasn't treating her like a slave he gave her gentry clothes to wear and not slave clothes and put her in a private room. just hook up with him and if in the future you see guy 1 be like "I was his slave. what could I have done" in my head Id be thinking good times. and more good times with guy 1 hehehehe. I would not have out right betrayed my father. I'd have been more obedient. not cause I'm obedient. Family loyalty means something to me.  its just she's known her dad all her life. she just met this guy. and her dad was a good dad to her. I like the father the first few episodes before I knew he was plotting, I thought he was a good guy. and as the show went on I still took his side on things. I wanted him to have all the things he wanted and if he killed people to get it, I was like good. they shouldn't have been so stupid to get in your way. most of the show I wanted the rebels to die. The father = Darth Vader I was rooting for the dark side. maybe if the male lead didn't escape death so often then i might have liked him as something more then a fantasy sex toy. But its the scrip. The rebels just didn't have a long plan. they were too impulsive and they clearly had spys in their mist. cause every plot was found out. its impossible for me to want idiots to win. in real life I hate it when people make emotion based life choices, so i damn sho not going to accept it in fiction. these people were given so many chances to live the rest of their lives out in luxury. every time they failed at uprising more things were taken away from them. But they were allowed to live. at one point one of the supporting characters became pregnant and i'm thinking okay your going to stop now and think of this unborn child. what your trying to do isn't more important then a baby. but nope the dad goes out on a doomed to fail mission to take back the throne. but he doesn't even get to go that far cause he gets caught with written evidence on his person. caught red-handed even after you promised to live your life quietly and reflect on how stupid you is. I had no sympathy for him. i was angry that for him revenge was the only thing he thought important to accomplish. so after this idjit gets executed, the king/Darth Vader decides to kill everyone that has in the past or might in the future appose him. one of these people is the abdicated king. and that i did feel bad for. cause that child was basically just a victim of the adults power plays. like i said every time they try to appose the King they die or loose money. this time they lost the person they thought was the rightful king. So you'd think they would just call it quiets. Nope, that doesn't happen. the last man goes out to gather a rebel Army. and he's actually making progress with concurring the land outside the palace. and i'm thinking duh. this is what you people should have done from the beginning instead of fighting the Boss head on. you have to clear the trash out first, any gamer can tell you that. also they never IMO gave themselves enough time to regroup. its like every attack was at half strength. i really thought these people would take a few years to gather reasorces maybe support from other countries. send a messenger to china telling them about the over through of power. China came to visit and they tried to tell China then but they get caught cause they has a spy. but someone that survived should have followed the Chinese envoy and told them what happened.
The last guy had the perfect opportunity to kill King Vader but what does he do in those precious moments? he gives the speech about "oh you will be haunted by those you killed unjustly." blah blah blah just cut of his head before his bodyguard shows up. nope too slow. you get caught oh and by the way " you impregnated my daughter. just boy down and accept me as your king and I will let you and my daughter live peacefully somewhere far away" the last man standing/ guy 1 spits at the King. for 1 I guess he didn't believe that he made a baby at that moment. that's understandable he had just been beaten within a inch of his life.
FL is begged by her mother and cousin to convince guy 1 to just give up his revenge and beg King Vader for forgiveness so they can raise their unborn child together. but in the end she doesn't tell him she is pregnant. but since he knew anyway he puts his had on her belly *awww so sweeet* with a voice over of " why aren't you telling me about the baby" and her voice over " do you already know about the baby?"
he then passout/ die and her cry "no, i will follow you!"
next scene years later the queen is older with gray in her hair talking to King Vader about his sleepless nights. he has aged alot as well. with all grey hair. they go out for a stroll. and King Vader sees a man that looks exactly like guy 1. I'm thinking its a vision and the king is about to die. Guy 1 has this happy smile on his face, and a little girl is walking with him. and im like is that really him cause you see no signs of recognition on his face as he passes the King. later you see him again in a yard being welcomed by Kings daughter. but this time I noticed a walking stick and I'm like What! he's blind! that would explain why he didn't notice King Vader. and why he finally gave up on getting revenge. but How the hell did he become blind?? This is a major hole in the script. and very irritating.  but anyway the queen took it upon herself to fake the death of her daughter and guy 1. makes it look like daughter killed herself after guy 1 died in jail from his injuries. every one is lead to believe that they are dead and buried together.
We see king watching (from behind a tree) his daughter and now blind guy 1 living happily as peasants. and he has a peacfull look on his face. and he also isn't upset with the queen when she admits she deceived him. I think he's not angry cause all these years he was able to reflect on all the people that died because of him. main being his favorite child, his daughter. and after all this time seeing her alive with his grandchild gave him happiness. With that ending it made the show worth watching. I could have done without that blindness cause that didn't make sense. But at the end they did what I wanted them to do way earlier, which was go some place and live a quiet life. Also yes I was cheering for the bad guys. so i'm happy they won. The good guys were stubborn and not too likable. I was glad when they died.
I have to warn you tho that this is one of those dramas that went overkill on the tears. The ML/guy1 didn't cry that often so thats good. he smiled alot *le sigh*
 I want to watch that actor in other stuff. but I don't know if he will be just as sexy in modern cloths also I can't get past 1st episode on the other drams with him. one of these dramas I fell asleep many times trying to watch. but i'll try again with Queen of reversals. he's like one of 5 men on this planet that look good with long hair, better then they do with short hair. I prefer men with short hair. i have nothing  else to say just rambling now.

some progress with paint

So last night i did do  more scraping. and i'm proud of myself. i'm trying to decide if i should uy some putty to smooth out the parts that are exposing the plaster. I think i should cause painting over it will bother me later. And right now I have the motivation to actually do it.

                                                                 Top photo is before

                                above and bottom photos are after I removed the old paint and glue.

But i don't know If I want to paint today. cause re cleaning the roller is irritating. It be different If I had one roller for the remover and one for the paint.
Its slow progress but its progress that I'm doing by myself, So I'm still proud. And the paint dries pretty fast.
When i'm finally done I hope to have proper curtains. and My flat TV mounted on the wall. Also I want less  things. I have already donated a lot of clothes this week. and I have found more to get rid of. things other then clothes I want to sell them. but some books I know I can give to a salvation Army or thrift store. I have  a sewing desk Of my mothers that i'm using. Its a sturdy piece of furniture. back before furniture was made out of cardboard. and I would love to sell that. I'm not sure my mother would be okay with that. I  Have accepted that I have giving up sewing and if I ever sew in the future I don't need the desk. I have used a ironing board before while standing up, it wasn't so bad. But that desk out of this room will free up a lot of floor space. right  not its a table for my cable box and TV and console. I'm still undecided about where I want to but the chalkboard paint. Originally I wanted to put it in one of the doors. use their square frames as a premade border. And the bottom 2 are just the right height for Zy. Wherever I put it its going to be in Zy's section of the room. i want to have a privacy screen added also when this room is finished. her section of the room from my section. I think she will like to have a area that is all her own.

painting progress

I started painting my walls. I did some while Zy was at school. I didn't bother with trying to remove the wallpaper glue. cause this wall already has been painted over  the glue. and its hard for the remover to penetrate the paint. but painting over the old paint loosened  up some of the glue anyway. I want to buy that paint dissolver for the other walls. but I'll try to keep using the remover for now.

                                                  This top photo was taken 2:30pm I actually used a toothbrush to get the edges near the door frames. and at the top next to the ceiling because I can't find the brush that came with the tray set.

                                                   This was taken 5:18pm See I got annoyed and started to scrape off the uneven parts. and that big part at the bottom the new paint is actually peeling off. I guess it needs to dry more. or thats the type of paint it is. or it may be a combo of both cause on some parts of the wall that the plaster is exposed the paint is not peeling off at all, its in there good.

I think I will do more of trying to remove the old paint/glue on the rest of this wall so it can be clean for me to paint in the morning.

this is a whole different corner. as you can see at one point i got to lazy/bored/tired to remove the wallpaper glue. So I started to paint. then I got bored with that and didn't finish the paint. this is the room I'm living in. no wonder I have a issue with depression. oh well I'm making a good effort this year to better my circumstances. 

Today was a dentist visit for Zy.  She has no cavities!!! so happy about that. She was really scared this visit. and this time they didn't let her sit in my lap. They treated her like a big girl. and I let her have the lolly after. cause It was sugar free.

walking

this is the second day that Zy and I went for a walk. we just took a random path on the property. today we listened to lesson one phase one of Korean while we walked. we saw a bug that may have been a grasshopper. but it was the color of the white dirt. 

cleanse

I'm going to do a 4 day juice fast. Four days cause I bought 4 bottles. 2 beet and purple carrot, 1 blueberry, and 1 cranberry. all are 100% juice. I'm going to finish my fill cleanse first. i think i have about a week left of that. I don't know how much weight I'm going to loose. but I hope its atleast 5 pounds. its embarrassing that i have to struggle to get in my pants. and I decided that I refuse the continue to get bigger. and I think that wht is happening.

learning korean

on may 7th I got a lesson 1 phase 1 of Pimsleur Korean. I listened to that for a few days. and today I listened to some podcast from talk to me in korean and korean class 101.com
Im a little confused on how to say the gam or gahm sound. cause the pronunciation is spelled gam or gahm. but it sounds like the people are saying Ka sound. I have been practicing saying the gahm sound like i have a mouth full of too much air. with whats going on in my throat its a bit of a challenge. but i'm training my ears to requinise Korean language. I'm going to use the free web site. and i bout Pimsleur approach cause it was on sale for the first 8 lessons. and i'm going to put those cd's in my car. I'm going to focus a time each day on the free internet resources.  lets say for about a month. then I want to use that web site where you get a web cam buddie. its a site where you find someone in the country of the language your learning and you talk to them in their language then switch and then they talk to you in your language. its like Immersion without traveling. also the meetup meetings. every month I say I'm going. but i never have the money for it. they don't have a group near my home. any way I'm optimistic about my progress.

Gay marraige

I am really pissed off about this. some people I wont say who, claim that because OBAMA says that he thinks gays should get married that now they wont vote for him. This same person just came back from church and I guess the "christians" have a plan of attack. they plan to write letters to the white house telling the president that they wont vote for him. What's this threat? you people aren't thinking straight. What are you going to say in these letters? "you can't be okay with gay marriage cause then you loose my vote"??? really?! Thats so childish.
My first thoughts is that I know you don't want a republican in office.
its going to be somewhat difficult for me to express how i feel but I have to vent. mainly cause FB is surprisingly quiet about this subject.
He didn't say he was making it policy. he didn't propose a amendment allowing gays to marry. He just expressed his opinion. and frankly I don't see him doing it during a second term. out of all the things he claims he will do for this country how is  his opinion about a subject that, lets be honest it will happen. how is this the thing that makes you not want to vote for him? you do realize that if you don't vote for him then thats better odds for the other guy.? Look at the past he talks like hes a liberal. but his compromises paint the picture of a old school conservative. you know back before the republicans became servants to the corporations
 use logic people! if the other guy stands for things that hurts most of Americans say 99% then why just roll out the red carpet so he can fuck us over? logically if gays are allowed to marry thats not going to stop YOU from getting into heaven!
Just get over yourself and stop forcing your corrupted religion in everyone's face.

sunday morning

after 16 months i found My ipod. I will be selling it. so I can upgrade to a new device. not sure which one. either a nook color or tablet. or a new ipod. or Ipad. I would have to save for the Ipod. and I really don't want to save. Id rather just buy one thing in one payment. I have to sell it so get something new. I don't like not having the camera. also I scraped off a good portion of the wallpaper. I'm so tempted to just leave the rest and start painting. because the last time i didn't remove all the wallpaper glue and painted over. those portions are more difficult to clean off. the solution has to go trough the layer of paint and the old wallpaper glue. *le sigh*
and moving the furniture from the walls is so bothersome. I really need to rearrange them and remove some completely. I have to be getting a wall mount for my tv. then take out the thing that my tv sits on now. that will add a couple square feet of floor space.

room tour

last night i made a room tour for before shots.
today I walked to McDonald to buy some coffee. then I went to some local business to ask for empty boxes. I  cleared off some things from my bookshelf and found a book I made when in grade school.  lot of dust bunnies up there. I need a vacuum. last night I bought wallpaper remover. and some paint trays and a scraper. I was going to do a lot today. but I don't feel like moving things away from the walls. also I want to have a wall mount for my tv. I seen some cheap ones on AMazon.com. But I wanted to talk to my cousin about it before I bought one. But I really want one cause it will free up some space.

Last night

      I decided to sleep around 12am and i may have got about 30mins of sleep. things got loud. and round 2:30am I decided to stay up and watch more TV cause 'LOUD PEOPLE' were not letting up.
I eventually ended up sleeping at past 4am. MY body didn't want to sleep and the bed was too hot. and I was coughing. and people were being loud. not a fun night.
      The drama I watched this morning was Shut up flower boy band. So glad I waited till all episodes were aired before watching it. I did try to watch it before it was finish. but it was hard getting past the first episode. What happens in it is that a group  of teen boys the school that they go to is closing. so all the students get transfer to other schools. and threw the convenience of Asian drama all these boys get transferred to the same school. The new school is this state of the art stereotypical rich neighborhood school. In real life I never seen one of these schools outside TV so I don't know I they actually exist. I seen schools that have no graffiti or less graffiti. (taging) I seen schools with newer equipment. but I never seen school so over the top with swimming pools and whatever unnecessary extras a high school doesn't need. I guess there are high schools with pools. But I don't think there is one in the AV. which is weird considering this is still California. and It gets hotter here then L.A. I guess any school out here would be newer then any school in L.A. so long ago the state had that kinda money. but i digress. The boys get sent to a new school together. Ther is conflict with the head rich boys.
not all the rich kids fault. but around episode 3 the lead of the poor kids band dies *gasp* spoiler. This i did not see coming. By now i'm noticing this drama  isn't shot with the same soft lighting. the shots look real life. not studio. The reason the boy, Byung Hee dies is erlier like episode 2 the rich kids get their bodyguards to brake the poor kids drums. ANd one of the rich boys tells Byung Hee that to fix his honor he will buy them a new drum kit. but  
he has to come alone to a dark alley. I'm thinking he's not going to fall for that. he's gonna tell his boys and they are going to wait somewhere out of site. but nope this guy is that naive and trusting. for this i call bad writing on the writers. cause they could have found some other way to get Byung Hee alone. I realize he needed to die for this story to work. but really?! anyway he gets beat a bit. not too bad cause the rich kids can't fight. but one of them take a aluminum bad to Byung Hee's scull. this disorients him. he has enough sense to run. while he is hiding he calls ONE of his friends. don't know why he didn't go through his whole phone book. but hay once again crap writing. first friend dosen't answer, call second friend they pick up, and then he calls other guy telling him to call the rest, phone tree style. calling only one friend was unnecessary overly used in a time of crisis this person is really stupid drama storytelling. anyway the guys get together and look for their comrade in crisis. and when they find him I'm thinking he's going to get hit by a car. Byung Hee looks up sees his friends and staggers toward them. one of the rich kids bursts out from behind a building and see that the Calvary has shown up. As Byung Hee with relief and happiness staggers towards this friends and safety a large truck hits him. now I saw it coming. but as slow as  Byung Hee  was moving that car should have seen  him. it had enough time to slow down, honk the horn, and scream obscenities out the window. but once again its other one of the pieces of evidence that the writers think the audience is idiots or they just make the characters really stupid. Its not just Asian dramas, they do it for american tv also. Mostly teen shows. not so much the shows for the older crowd. I know teenagers are idiots but maybe if the tv they watched portrayed them smarter then they would start behaving smarter?. not likely to happen but one can hope by the time my little one reaches teen years she will not be a follower. anyway I'm alittle past Byung Hee's funeral. both groups of boys are interring a contest. the poor kids are doing it for remembrance of their dead friend. the rich kids are doing it for i guess typical teenager reasons. 
Last night I started watching 12 men in a year. that caught my attention from the start. don't know why but i was hooked. started watching it on Hulu.com but had to find another site because by episode 2 there weren't subtitles. This show is about a woman that has to have sex  with a man from each Zodiac sign. and write about it in a article.
