(Masih Tentang) Korean Drama

Ini masih tentang Korean Drama :)

Dari drama-drama dan beberapa film yang saya tonton (Pasta/Coffee Prince/Big/Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy/One Fine Day/She's On Duty/Spy Girl/Finding Mr. Destiny/Romantic Island/Golden Time) ada beberapa adegan yang sepertinya nggak bisa lepas dari Korean Drama.

1. Makan
Di semua tontonan di atas, selalu ada adegan makan! Dan selalu sukses bikin saya kelaparan di tengah malam atau kalau masih memungkinkan, buru-buru lari ke 7-Eleven dan beli Nong Shim Spicy Ramyun :)

Belum pernah selama nonton film/serial bisa ngiler gitu lihat adegan makannya.

 Coffee Prince

 Pasta

2. Tipsy
Ini juga seperti adegan wajib. Apa memang orang Korea hobi minum sampai mabok ya? Dan nggak cuma aktor cowoknya lho. 

3. Piggy Back
Alias gendong di punggung. Ini juga selalu ada. Yang paling keren di antara semua piggy back waktu Go Eun Chan gendong Choi Han Kyul yang lagi mabok. Gila...Gong Yoo yang 184cm/ 74kg digendong Yoon Eun Hye yang mungil banget. 

 Coffee Prince

 Coffee Prince

4. Hujan
Entah kenapa selalu ada hujan di Korean Drama. Mungkin buat efek syahdu dan romantis ya.

5. Nangis
Dan adegan ini nggak cuma dimonopoli pemain ceweknya. Aktor cowoknya juga pasti kebagian adegan nangis (dan di semua dramanya, pasti ada scene Gong Yoo oppa berlinangan airmata :)).

 Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy

 Coffee Prince

Pasta

6. Back Hug
Juga ada hampir di seluruh drama. 

• Eun Chan ~ Han Kyul (Coffee Prince): waktu Eun Chan diijinin ke Italia untuk sekolah barista

• Han Yoo Joo ~ Han Seong (Coffee Prince): waktu Han Yoo Joo minta maaf 
• Ha Neul ~ Seo Gun (One Fine Day): waktu Ha Neul ungkapin perasaannya
• Seo Yoo Kyung ~ Choi Hyun Wook (Pasta): lupa :)
• Kang Kyung Joon ~ Gil Da Ran (Big): waktu KKJ takut Gil Da Ran bakalan lupa sama dia kalau Seo Yoon Jae balik ke badannya
• Gil Da Ran ~ Kang Kyung Joon (Big): waktu KKJ cerita tentang mamanya

How I Am

It has been a year now
without you by my side
somehow I feel lonely
thinking of you during my daylight 
or before I close my eyes at night
how I miss you
miss us...

But this is us now
separated
trying to settle down our feeling
at least that's what I am trying to do now
after all this time
it's never been easy
feels like I am gonna cry

HOW I AM
(English translation from some sources :))

I was someone who wanted to give you everything
Just you was enough for me

I am someone who could not give you everything
I let go too easily

Back when we were in love
It must have been so exciting
So good about it
As if I had the whole world

I could not imagine being without you
That's how I am
I was someone who went too far ahead of you
I ended up lost alone

Back when we were in love
It must have been so hard and painful
You used to cry like the world has come to an end
I could not even imagine it once but at some point...

I wonder if you're really okay
Have you completely forgotten about us
Back when we were in love
Why can't I pretend it was just a memory

I miss the face that I cannot forget
I picture it everyday again and again
That's how I am
Someone who is still living back in those times
That's how I am

Gong Yoo-ssi Toxic - Part 2

After Coffee Prince, I got Big. 

Big: as a 30-year-old doctor named Seo Yoon Jae who is trapped into a 18-year-old student named Kang Kyung Joon after they both got into an accident. Kyung Joon's body is coma while Yoon Jae can survive. Before the accident, Yoon Jae was engaged with Gil Da Ran - a high school teacher who happens to be KKJ's teacher. In Yoon Jae's body, KKJ is in love with Gil Da Ran whom finally falls for KKJ too. After few episodes, it reveals that KKJ is Yoon Jae's little brother. 

Enjoyable scenes: when KKJ (in Yoon Jae's body) having conversation with Tokki and Teddy Bear (both are kid patients).  So loveable :)

Heartbreaking scene: when KKJ put Soon Jae's ring to Gil Da Ran's finger and promises her that as long as she wears that ring, he won't fall for her and won't treat her nicely too.

Hello My Teacher: as Park Tae In - a rebellious high school student but is loved by his classmates. He falls in love with his own teacher - Na Bo Ri who is engaged with his uncle. 

Favorite scenes: Tae In dancing at hospital's reception desk and holding umbrella and when he is playing piano at a pub. 

One Fine Day: as Seo Gun who is trying to find Haneul, his little sister. At the end, he finds out that he does not have blood relationship with Haneul and finally in love with her. 

Favorite scene: whenever Haneul calls him oppa and he smiles back at her :). Sweet. 

Gong Yoo-ssi Toxic - Part 1

Aaaaarggghhh I am officially infected with Gong Yoo toxic :). It was all started by Kdrama Pasta which I accidentaly watched it during my break in Malang last October.  Since I fell for the hotty chef in the drama, I began to dig in through www.gooddrama.net just to find Lee Sun Gyun's other dramas/movies (though I finally found out that he's not that so hot hahaha).

It remember when I went to ITC Kuningan and found KDrama Coffee Prince (again it was because of Lee Sun Gyun). Then I watched it online. It was my first path with Gong Yoo :)). He beat the chef eversince !

Started with Coffee Prince and followed by others. 

Coffee Prince: as Choi Han Kyul - a good looking guy from a rich family and run a coffee shop. He falls in love with Go Eun Chan - a tomboyish girl. Han Kyul didn't know that Eun Chan is a girl when they met and then hired her as his barista. When he realises his feeling for Eun Chan, he starts to question his sexuality and as to whether to follow his heart. Eun Chan cannot tell the truth as she is afraid that she might be fired since she is not a man. To hide/deny his feeling, he treats Eun Chan as his dongsaeng (little brother) till he could not stand any longer and confesses. When he discovers that  Eun Chan's true identity, he feels hurt and betrayed. However, he eventually forgives her and begins to date her.

Favorite line: I'll say this just once, so listen to me. I like you. Whether you're a man or an alien, I don't care anymore. I tried to get rid off my feeling but I couldn't. So let's go as far as we can go ~ Han Kyul to Eun Chan

Because It's You - Part 2

I've missed you lately. 

When I was trying so very hard to forget you. 

To erase your name from my mind. 

After all these years, never been an easy thing. 

I loved you...and still do.

Just go away...

Whatever happened, it might be the best for us. 

Let's not hurt each other's heart anymore. 

Because It's You

Because It's You ~ Gong Yoo

I keep getting angry because I love you
Why are you foolishly at someone else, you bad person
At my clumsy love, at my hurt heart
I just let out sighs and randomly laugh and cry
It hurts because of you

Because it's you, because it's you that I love
I can hold it in several times
Because I only knew you from the start
Because it's all you, because it's you that I miss, I love you
It hurts so much, it's so hard but because it's you, I'm okay

You grow farther away because I can't hold onto you
I look at you, I wait for youand get exhausted
Because of you, I get sad

Because it's you, because it's you that I love
I can hold it in several times
Because I only knew you from the start
Because it's all you, because it's you that I miss, I love you
It hurts so much, it's so hard but because it's you, I'm okay

Because it's all you, because it's you that I love

Because it's all you, because it's you that I miss, I love you
I keep getting greedy, I keep crying
Because it's you, because it's all you

Lucy

Kemarin malem nonton Lucy di Lotte Avenue. Film yang aneh. Teraneh yang pernah saya tonton. Bahkan FLo yang biasanya suka apapun yang dia pilih, komen yang sama :)

Awalnya sih menarik (walaupun sudah keganggu dengan ilustrasi-ilustrasi untuk nampilin yang ada di pikiran Lucy). Ceritanya tentang mahasiswa cewek yang sekolah di Taiwan bernama Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) yang diminta cowoknya untuk anterin koper untuk Mr. Jang. Karena nggak mau, akhirnya koper itu diborgol ke tangannya Lucy dan kunci hanya ada di Mr. Jang. 

Singkat cerita, isi koper yang berupa butiran narkoba tingkat tinggi (CPH4) mau diselundupin ke Eropa. Caranya tiap bungkus dimasukin ke usus si kurir. Termasuk Lucy.  Keanehan pertama muncul.  Tiba-tiba Lucy ada di penjara Taiwan. Bungkusan narkoba yang ada di perutnya pecah dan mendadak (drum roll) dia jadi jago bela diri, bisa ngerasain gravitasi, bisa denger semua omongan orang sekalipun jauh, bisa ngerasain ASI yang dia minum dll. Pokoknya jadi super banget. 

Di perjalanan ke Paris dia kontak Prof. Norman (Morgan Freeman) pakarnya otak beserta sel-selnya. Si Lucy ini selain mau dapetin semua CPH4 untuk pertahanan diri dia juga mau buktiin semua teorinya si Prof. Termasuk untuk pertanyaan gimana jadinya kalau manusia pakai 100% kapasitas otaknya (normalnya hanya 10-20%).  

Selanjutnya adegan klise. Tembak-tembakan sama pasukannya Jang. Trus Lucy bermutasi dengan nyerap semua energi dan materi komputer yang ada untuk bahan penelitiannya Norman. Dan akhirnya menghilang (sebelumnya pakai adegan ala quantum leap gitu. Pindah dari kota satu ke kota lain sampai ke jaman primitif - aneh banget). 

Adegan penutup: energi yang nyerap komputer berubah jadi USB (another weird scene :)) trus waktu si Del Rio (polisi yang bantuin Lucy) tanya "Where is she?", di layar hpnya muncul "I am everywhere" hahahhahaahha

The Expendables 3

Semalem nonton The Expendables 3 di Lotte Avenue. Yang kedua nggak nonton. Nanti download aja di kickass torrent :)

Dari segi cerita sih biasa aja. Sekumpulan kakek-kakek hero nenteng senapan, bawa granat dan nggak kalah-kalah. Yang main semuanya ngetop. Seperti Ocean 11, 12, 13 tapi ya versi tuanya lah :). Nonton film ini nggak usah repot mikirin alurnya. Cukup nikmatin dialog yang kadang lucu (suka banget sama celetukannya Lee Christmas - Jason Statham sama Doc - Wesley Snipes), aktingnya Antonio Banderas yang konyol sama adegan tembak menembaknya.

Ceritanya Barney, Christmas, Gunner, Toll Road bebasin Doc dari penjara. Trus mereka lanjut ke misi sebenernya. Ngabisin penyalur nuklir yang ternyata ex temen mereka sendiri yang sempat dikira udah mati (Stonebanks).  Di tengah aksi, Caesar kena tembak dan koma. Gara-gara itu, Barney pensiunin tim lamanya (yang nggak terima pastinya) dan cari tim baru yang lebih muda (Smilee, Luna, Mars, Thorn). Tapi akhirnya ke-4 tim baru ini ditahan sampai akhirnya tim lama ikutan lagi buat bantu. Drummer yang udah jadi pejabat pemerintah juga ikut bantuin barengan Trench dan Yang. Menang deh.

Ini pemainnya:
1. Sylvester Stallone - Barney Ross
2. Jason Statham - Lee Christmas (cuma Jason yang enak dilihat :))
3. Harrison Ford - Drummer
4. Arnold Schwarzenegger - Trench
5. Mel Gibson - Stonebanks
6. Wesley Snipes - Doc
7. Dolph Lundgren - Gunner Jensen (paling males liatnya)
8. Antonio Banderas - Galgo
9. Kellan Lutz - Smilee
10. Jet Lee - Yang (paling sedikit perannya)
11. Randy Couture - Toll Road
12. Terry Crews - Caesar
13. Glenn Powell - Thorn
14. Victor Ortiz - Mars
15. Ronda Rousey - Luna

JanjiMu Seperti Fajar

Waktu semalem berdoa sebelum tidur, tiba-tiba airmata udah netes. Terakhir kali berdoa sampai nangis itu waktu ibadah di Duta Injil beberapa bulan lalu :)

Padahal semalem itu mata udah berat banget. Pingin buru-buru tidur. Tapi di tengah doa, airmata ngalir gitu aja. Begitu selesai, rasanya tenang banget. Enteng. Lega. Rasanya lebih kuat lagi. 

Sama seperti waktu berdoa dan minta Tuhan kasih kerja buat FLo. Di tengah syafaat yang saya ucapin mendadak nangis tersedu-sedu. Tapi selesai 'Amin' terasa damai. Seminggu kemudian, Tuhan kasih jawaban. Indahnya :)

Btw judul postingannya terinspirasi dari instrumen yang dipasang di Siapakira, tempat saya makan siang. Pas banget.

Ps:
Nemu artikel bagus ini

To Let Go

It has been proven that 'to let go' is not a simple thing to do. Sometimes, or may I say many times, common sense and heart collide.

My brain knows that I must let this go and move forward but my heart hates it so very much :(. Feels like my heart has its own opinion :). And it's not arguable hahaha.

So, I found these interesting quotes:

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward ~ Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want to forget, you cannot hate ~ C. JoyBell C. 

If I Should Die

If I Should Die ~ Emily Bronte

If I should die
And you should live
And time should gurgle on
And morn should beam
And noon should burn
As it has usual done
If birds should as early
And bees as bustling go
One might depart at option
From enterprise below
'Tis sweet to know that stocks will stand
When we with daisies lie
That commerce will continue
And trades as briskly fly
It make the parting tranquil
And keeps the soul serene
That gentlemen so sprightly
Conduct the pleasing scene


Kematian nggak pernah bisa ditebak. Kapan dia akan datang. 

Setelah beberapa minggu ini terima kabar duka, saya pun jadi berpikir tentang kematian.

Rest in HIS Love...Om

Another sad news.

Got a missed call from Sus Noni last night. When I called her back, she told me that om Elkana had passed away. Speechless.

I did not know him too well. Just met him occassionally. What a sweet couple he and tante were. A funny guy too.

Something that I remember is he personally prayed for me few years ago. 

Bon voyage om. May you rest in HIS love peacefully.

Tentang rasa

Ini tulisan-tulisan yang ada di iphone...

July 3 - 05.47pm
Ini cerita tentang sekeping hati
yang sudah tidak lagi sempurna bentuknya.
Patah. Retak. Berkeping-keping. 
Sebut saja semuanya. 

Sakit. Perih. Mual. 
Semua rasa berbaur. 
Dan ini pun bukan yang pertama. 
Dikiranya kali ini akan imun dan sanggup bertahan. 
Tapi ternyata salah. 

Pedihnya masih sehebat yang dulu. 

Ini cerita tentang sekeping hati
yang tak sama lagi bentuknya. 
Entah kapan akan terlewati. 


July 4 - 11.17am
Ini tentang rasa. 
Tak bisa terbagikan apalagi dienyahkan dengan paksa. 
Seperti mimpi buruk. 
Menghantui detik demi detik hari-hari yang ada. 

RIP Lita, Rully

Dalam 4 hari ini denger 2 kabar duka cita. Pertama kepergiannya Lita, temen SMP dan kuliah. Kanker penyebabnya. Kabarnya udah 10 tahun dia berjuang melawan penyakitnya. Dia pergi meninggalkan suami dan 2 anak yang masih kecil.

Dan barusan, Alex kirim berita di group. Rully (mantannya) meninggal. Belum tau karena apa. Rully dan Alex punya 1 anak remaja. Gishka namanya. 

Baca berita ini, rasanya campur aduk. Masih muda. Teorinya, jalan masih panjang. Banyak yang mungkin masih mau mereka buat. Tapi rencana Tuhan nggak pernah ada yang tau. DIA yang memberi...DIA juga yang mengambil.

May you both rest in peace. My deepest condolences for the family and relatives.
