My Girl (Ma-i-geol)

It's a nice day here in Sunny California. Temperatures in the 80's, the sun shinning bright, a bit of soft wind here and there. Bascially, its a good day to go out and enjoy. Especially when it's mid-February... I mean who can really enjoy wheather like this anywhere else in the winter?
With that said, i'm wasteing away this beautiful day sitting in my room, bored with nothing to do BOOO...

It's been quite sometime since i've written in this, as i recall the last time i wrote was when i was talking about starting my winter session, but as of this week, i just finished. CRAZZZYNESS but unfortunately i start my spring semester next week.. booo I guess at least i have a four day weekend to just chill out till then.

This past month, i've been trying to look for stuff to watch since, Hana Yori Dango had such a hook on me, i decided to look around and see what i could find. I watched some shows here and there like "Kima Wa Petto" and "Densha Otoko" both were good to watch but i guess those dramas were something i could watch when thier wasnt anything else. But i still enjoyed the both. Since i'm pretty horrible at researching shows and such on the net, my bro told me about another drama his friend told him about called My Girl. I actually finished this drama a couple of weeks ago, but i think it deserves to be in one of my favorite drams along with Hana Yori Dango.

This Korean drama is about a girl Joo-Yu-Rin, who starts off being a tour guide at Jeju Island of South Korea. She lives with her father, who is unfortunately an addictive gambler, who seems to get himself into trouble constantly. Joo Yu-Rin has a talent of fibbing, though her talent gets the best out of her when she meets the heir of L'Avenuel Hotel, Seol Gongchan. Seol Gongchan's been trying to look for his long lost cousin, whom he must find for his grandfather before he dies. Do to the short time that his grandfather has, he heirs Joo Yu-Rin to pretend to be his cousin, in which she agrees to because she needs the money. However, being that she would only have to appear once, the grandfather suddenly recovers and asks Joo Yu-Rin to stay with them so he could get to know her. Joo Yu-Rin once again agrees to stay with them for the time being, until Gongchan finds his real cousin. During this time, Joo Yu-Rin gets showered with love and care from this family, and eventually being so attatched to Gongchan, shes tries not to lie as much as she once did. She then becomes drawn to Gonchan but believes that this one sided love with never seem to work out, though in the process Gongchan slowly starts to like her as well, creating a good story hahah..
This drama is really good, it consists of 16 episodes all an hour long! I really enjoyed this drama, It's a romantic comedy, but also has it's drama. Other main actors/actresses include Lee Jun Ki who plays Gongchan's best friend and Park Si Yeon who plays a professional tennis player as well as Gongchan's girlfriend. You all should check it out! It's worth a watch.
