Ten years later the old High School buddies gather together to celebrate Yu-jin and Sang-hyuk's soon-to-be wedding.

But at the party, Oh Chelin's new boyfriend arrives, who appears the same as Joon-sang. Could it be him or is Yu-jin only dreaming?

My Progress: I have read a lot of good reviews about this drama and my cousin also recommended it. I'm still watching this one, and so far, it has attracted my attention. I wanted to finish this before my birthday (but it didn't happen!) but I wanted to post something on my birthday, so here we go!!

Aaaaah! Another sad drama! But in the end, ......, shhh.... can't tell! Hmm... there were a lot of crying in here, so I wonder if Choi Ji Woo's (Yu-jin) eyes were swollen the whole time... hmm... Anywayz, it's a pretty good drama, especially for the fans of Bae Yong Jun.

Moon Child

Synopsis:

Genre: Action, Drama

In the year 2014, Japan has collapsed economically and thus its people emigrated in large numbers and settled in other parts of the world. In a corner in Asia, there is a little city called Mallepa, a big melting pot where Asians such as Hongkongers, Taiwanese and Japanese live together. It was a place where people fought for order, food and freedom. It was there where Shou (Gackt), raised as an orphan and Kei (Hyde), who could live forever, met and became the best of friends. However, they were unable to escape from the fight for power involving gangs of different ethnicity on the city of Mallepa. How can one live when living requires a gun?

The poster does not really show anything that would be scary, so don't let the poster scare you away, ok! This was actually an interesting movie! Love the action scenes with Gackt and Hyde...hehehe... Sometimes it gets bloody but anybody can handle that... and there were a lot of killing, so be careful. But all in all, a pretty good movie... kind of sad too... awww!!... If you're a fan of Hyde, visit Kagen no Tsuki here on my blog!!

Edit: Aaaaaahhh!!!... It's done!!! I miss them already!!! I can't believe it!!!... I want more!!... I was depressed for like the day after I finished watching it!... I wish ArJoe would do some more things together coz they definitely have a LOT of chemistry together! I love it!

BTW, to those who have seen it and thought the ending could be better, it is all due to the copyright of the manga. The mangaka (the artist Tada Kaoru) died before she could finish the manga. So in respect to the mangaka and for copyright reasons, the director of TKA followed the story and how it was left off... I know, it feels so short but it leaves things to the imagination (perhaps too much...) But anywayz, I still love it!!!... I'll live Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin forever!!

One of my favorite movies! It is a very touching movie! Have some tissues handy ok! Oh, when watching the music video, please listen to the lyrics of the song (one of my favorites). The song really brings forward the emotions that are in the movie, so please listen closely. Don't worry, the song is in English by the filipino singer Gary Valenciano (if anyone is wondering >_<). Hehehe...
