Song Summary [이러지마 제발]

This song is

이러지마 제발 (Please Don’t)

케이윌 (K.Will)

Summary:

MrAdorableGuy (MAG)’s best friend CuteFiancéGuy(CFG) is getting married to SuperPrettyGirl(SPG).

Throughout the whole of the MV we are made to think that MAG has a crush on SPG and that he is heartbroken that his best friend is marrying the girl he loves…this poor guy sees the two of them together hugging and just being generally sickly sweet with their love, they tell him that they’re getting married, he takes it well….if you ignore the visualising people and screaming in the car…

But the big twist is at the end, when he rips a photo of CFG and SPG we think “Oh he’s just getting rid of his best friend so that him and SPG can be together…”

NO NO!!!

He rips SPG out of the photo and we see him and CFG sitting in the car together, showing that it was never SPG that he loved…but his best friend.

My Thoughts:

I died. This MV was too much.

Another video where the homosexual relationship never works out 😦

The song is really good, casual with a nice beat, I liiiike.

MrAdorableGuy is played by Seo In Guk
CuteFiancéGuy is played by Ahn Jae Hyun

and SuperPrettyGirl is played by Dasom

And yep, before anyone says anything I did find out about this song because of EatYourKimchi

Seriously, if no one tells me about these things, there is a low chance that I’ll find them by myself… Actually maybe a medium change..I do browse a lot of random videos~

Movie Summary [The Postcard]

Title: The Postcard
Release date: 2007
Language: Korean

English Subs? – Yes

Cast:
(actor – character)
Sun Zoo Park – Miss Park (type O)
So Yun Park – Miss Park (Type A)
Simo – Mr. Postman
Suh Inwoo – Man

Basic Plot Summary
A cute man is openly writing love letters on postcards….the two female post office clerks acknowledge his cuteness.
One day the cute man is sending a parcel to Japan, the clerk notices that the ‘return’ address he gave is the same as the ‘send’ address that he wrote on the postcard the previous day. She assumes that he was writing these postcards to get her attention.
However, the postcards weren’t meant for her….

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Another short movie…. *sigh* Damn you Korea! why must you create such insanely cute movies but make them so unbearably short!?!

I really liked this short movie though, it was so lovely…BUT OMMMGGGGG when ‘Mr. Postman’ sees Miss Park at the guy’s address…I died inside,.
…and when they’re both at the public bath but facing the wrong way I was screaming “TURN THE * bad word * AROUND!” at my laptop screen.

I really don’t like getting so aggravated at movies…especially those which last 14 minutes!
I’m just going to imagine that there is an extended version of this where Mr. Postman turns around, sees the cute guy, then cute guy turns around, they then stare into each other’s eyes…and just smile lovingly at each other..
Thats all I ask for!! 40 extra seconds of smiling! There doesnt even have to be any kissing or anything…just…a smile

But despite my frustration and longing for 40 extra seconds of smiling…I enjoyed it!

I rate this adorably frustrating 14 minute movie, that needs 40 more seconds:
8/10

Please feel free to leave a comment to tell me (and others!) what you thought!

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Now this movie is only 13 minutes long. But there is a longer version which is 15 minutes long….give or take.

I thought it was cute….brief…but cute 🙂

I’m not sure if these characters are meant to be the same as those in ‘Just Friends?’ but they have the same names…If they are meant to be the same then its very confusing, because the Seok-i in this movie is totally different, personality-wise, to the Seok-i in Just Friends?….so i dont think they are the same characters….maybe the people who made the film just really like the names?! ahahha

HOLY CRAP HYE-SUNG KIM IS CUTE!

What kind of friends does Seok-i have?! You dont go around stealing stuff from people!! Especially not cute guys like Min-soo

Its good!
Short movies are way too short -.-”

I rate:
6/10

P.S It can be found on YouTube!

Movie Summary [A Frozen Flower]

Title: A Frozen Flower / 쌍화점
Release Date: 2008
Language: Korean
English Subs? – Yes

Cast:
(actor – character)
Zo In Sung – Hong Lim
Ju Jin-mo – The King
Song Ji-hyo – The Queen

Basic Plot Summary:
The king’s palace guard is made up of 36 young soldiers, trained since they were very young. Their commander, Hong Lim has always had a close relationship with the King.
The King is married to a princess, and they have no children.
As they get older the King is pressured into producing a successor to the throne.
Because the King is unable to have sex with the Queen….he orders Hong Lim to have sex with her and produce his child.
However…their relationship does not just stop with sex…a passionate love blooms between the Queen and Hong Lim.
Creating a completely complex love triangle….

My thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*
May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Now i’ve said this many time before: I hate love triangles…they ruin a perfectly good relationship…but honestly….I don’t hate anyone in this movie!
Shocking. I know!
I feel sorry for each of the 3 characters in a way….and I’m going to tell you why…

Hong Lim…the poor guy, he had no idea what he was doing most of the time. Ever since he was young the King had shown him nothing but love and kindness and then he asks him to go have sex with the Queen….surely you can see how that could be confusing!?
He cant help falling in love with the Queen

I feel sorry for the Queen because this poor woman just wants to be loved by someone…Unfortunately her husband cant love her the way she wants him to… Naturally you’d fall in love with the man who shows some sort of affection for you,

And the King….you cant imagine how hard it must have been for him to ask his lover to have sex with his wife, but he did it for his kingdom..and i get that. Its completely understandable that he felt betrayed by Hong Lim when he finds out they are actually having a relationship.
Although i do feel the castrating him was a bit far…

On a slightly different note….Everyone’s hair looked fabulous! I loved it!

Overall it was a really good movie ^^
The sex scene between the King and Hong Lim was lovely, probably the most passionate scene I’ve ever seen in a BL movie ❤

I rate:
8/10

Language: Korean
English Subs? – Yep

Cast:
(actor – character)
Kam Wu-seong – Jangsaeng
Lee Jun Ki – Gonggil
Jeong Jin-yeong – King Yeonsan
Kang Seong Yeon – Jang Noksu

Basic Plot Summary:

Jangsaeng and Gonggil are male street clowns, entertainers and performers. Their manager prostitutes the gorgeous Gonggil to rich customers…Jangsaeng is sickened by this. After Gonggil kills the managers in defence of Jangsaeng they run to Seoul, where they start another street performing group.

The group mocks the Royal Court (…the king and his new concubine Jang Noksu)…After they are arrested for treason, Jangsaeng makes a deal with Choseon, who turns out to be one of the kings servants: If they make the king laugh they wont be executed.

The king laughs…and makes them part of his court. The King later falls for the beautiful Gonggil, who he calls into his private chambers and asks him to perform finger puppet shows.

The king becomes more and more unstable – he ends up slaughtering a bunch of his concubines.

Jangsaeng asks Gonggil to leave with him and the group, before the king gets worse. The king reused to grant Gonggil his freedom.

Jang Noksu becomes enraged by the amount of attention the King has been giving Gonggil…

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

This movie was really good!

Not exactly a Boys Love movie…but it did have homosexual elements….like the relationship between Gonggil and Jangsaeng…or The Kings affection for Gonggil

The plot summary wasn’t exactly a FULL summary and it was kinda long too….if you want more…:

Jang Noksu tries to have Gonggil jailed…Jangsaeng takes the fall and is imprisoned.

Choseon secretly releases Jangsaeng, telling him to forget Gonggil and leave the palace but Jangsaeng ignores the advice and returns to walk his tightrope across the palace rooftops, mocking the King loudly. The king shoots arrows at him while Gonggil tries to stop him.

Jangsaeng falls and is cuaght, and has his eyes seared with a burning iron as punishment before being thrown into prison again.

Gonggil attempts to commit suicide, but his life is saved by the palace doctors. The king has Jangsaeng walk his tightrope blind. As Jangsaeng tells the story of his and Gonggil’s trails and tribulations while balancing the rope….Gonggil runs out to join him.

The ending is really lovely

The concubine…lady….woman…Jang Noksu is a bitch. I hate her.

The king is so crazy…my god

Gonggil is just gorgeous.

and Jangsaeng is amazing…uh I love him!

Okay, i think we’re done here!

Lee Jun Ki is such a beautiful person.. I think we need a moment of silence to appreciate this gorgeous human being………..okay, thank you!

I rate:

7/10 because its so good….but in terms of BL quality…4/10

Movie Summary [Antique]

Title: Antique / 서양골동양과자점 엔티크;

Release Date: 2008
Language: Korean (and French at times )

English Subs? – Yeaa!!!

Cast:
(actor – character)
Kim Jae Wook – Min Sun Woo
Joo Ji Hoon – Kim Jin Hyuk
Yoo Ah In – Yang Ki Beom
Choi Ji Ho – Nam Soo Yeong
Andy Gillet – Jean-Baptise

Basic Plot Summary:

Kim Jin Hyuk decided to open a cake shop…even though he cant stand them, he believes thousands of beautiful women will flood into his shop. He hires a talented patissier, Sun-Woo. Ex-boxer Ki-beom and his childhood friend/bodyguard SooYeong.

Although seemingly careless and happy, each of the four men have unforgettable past they are afraid to face, but their secrets slowly being to unravel…

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

I love this movie!!! Sooooo much!!!
I’ve seen it over and over again….little bit obsessive but….I DON’T CARE!

Ji-Hyuk was horrible to Sun-Woo when they were in high school…You dont throw cake at people, it’s just rude.

(Btw….Kim Jae Wook is GORGEOUS!!!!!!His hair ❤ A moment of silence for this beautiful man….okay thank you :D)
I love it when Jin-Hyuk and Sun-Woo meet again 😀
Sun-Woo is just so damn attractive men become infatuated by him…he is a “Gay of Demonic Charm”

I love that they didnt really recognise each other at first…and it took Sun-Woo longer to figure it out when he was the guy that had the crush!! Sun-Woo is so adorable when he has to serve those girls and he freaks out.

Even though this is in my list of Boys Love movies….it isn’t really based around a BL relationship, like the other ones.
This movie focuses on this kidnapping thingy…which is related to Jin-Hyuk as he was kidnapped and forced cake when he was younger…this experience still haunts him.
…In my heart I wished there was more focus on Sun-woo….oh well…

Jean-Baptise sucks. How dare he hurt Sun-Woo!!
My god i’m way too protective…
Although I did appreciate ‘l’élément français’ I could practice my French ;D

I like Ji-Hyuk’s attempt at trying to get Sun-Woo to stay…bless him, he’s so transparent 🙂

Its a really great movie!
I rate 8.5 /10

Purely for the lacking in BL quality between Jin-Hyuk and Sun-Woo ;D and the 0.5 is because Kim Jae Wook is just so damn attractive!!!!

Screen caps:
These are pretty much all of Jin-Hyuk and Sun-Woo :L

*~ SPOILERS ~*

For the record…This movie is based on the manga “Antique Bakery” (Seiyō Kottō Yōgashiten) Which has also been adapted into a Japanese drama.

The drama in my opinion isn’t that great….there Ono (who in the Korean movie is Sun-Woo) isn’t gay..he’s a straight guy who just cant talk to women…
Kinda disappointing.

I also found the anime version to be disappointing.
For me, the korean film version is the best!~

stole that last bit from here

What to expect:
Strong male characters, stupid parents getting involved in their son’s life and a crazy friend with access to a shovel. But sweet ending.
Oh yeah, sex and nudity!!

My thoughts

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS

Well after reading the old summary post, I’m greatly embarrassed that I posted it.
At the time it was so long since I watched the film so I couldn’t remember what happened yet I still proceeded to post it.

It’s a good film.
I thought the film was going really well: it was progressing very steadily once Su-min accepted Jae-min, when Jae-min’s parents get involved and orders him to marry his ‘girlfriend’ and when Jae-min gives Su-min the cold shoulder in the corridor – I was totally prepared for the story to develop. When Jae-min is the elevator with his girlfriend and parents and then reveals to her that the guy they just saw is the man he loves – I was happy, their romance is going to get back on track this is great!
But then some genius comes up with the idea of kidnapping Jae-min and doing what with him? Burying him in the forest!
I’m just glad Su-min came to his senses and stopped it!

I wouldn’t say this film was the best film I’ve seen, but it wasn’t awful! The story starts off as something very typical of a BL film, the last 20 minutes or so totally threw me!~
I was thinking that if Su-min doesn’t die from that head wound, they’re both going to die from the cold and mean as though that didn’t kill them, they were definitely going to die from that crash.
But nope! No death, only happy endings!~

I’m going to rate this film
6/10
