Meteor Garden

This drama is very similar to Hana Yori Dango and Boys Over Flower becuz they are the remakes of them! This also has the same plot. Shan Cai is a poor girl that gets to go in the rich school. One day, she accidentally angered F4's leader, Dao Ming Si, so the wars start. In war, the only member that helps her was Hua Ze Lei and she begins to fall for him. This upsets Dao Ming Si greatly and he tries to win her heart. This drama also has Rainie Yang as Shan Cai's friend out of the rich school. (Don't read red sentence if you haven't watch the drama yet!)This is really good although the second series was boring so I just skipped to the last episode in the end of the second series.

Seducing Mr. Perfect/ Seducing Mr. Robin

Sorry I haven't been updating the blog, I was a little busy but whatev. Anyway, I was watching this movie and this was my second time. I mean, it's really good! This is about a lady named Min-June always love-struck about her latest boyfriend becuz she believes in true love. When she gets dumped by her boyfriend, she worried about it while driving the car to work and accidentally hit a car in front of her. At work, she found out that he, Robin Heiden was her new boss and he knew a lot about relationships, specifically cheating. He tells her how relationships are about power and whoever shows emotions first would be like giving a leash to the other person, so that they can drag you around. The whole movie is really funny, but I cried a bit too. This movie is really interesting becuz Daniel Henny (Robin Heiden) speaks mostly English while Uhm Jung-hwa (Min-June) speaks mostly Korean. That's probably one of the reasons I like this movie!

Tina Beauty Salon

I'm sure all of you decided to get a haircut, but then after you did, it didn't turn out the way you wanted, or it looked really ugly on you. I've also experienced the same problem, but yesterday was different. I went to Tina Beauty Salon to get a Japanese straightening that would last for 6 months and a hair cut. Sure, I'll give it to them how expensive it was, $150 for a straightening compared to Vietnam, which costs around $20-$30. But its a really good price becuz my hair is long and thick so at other salons, it might've cost $300. I like the whole image and its really straight! It took hours, from 10:00AM - 4:30 PM. I have the address if you want to go their next time for your haircut! I also think you need an appointment so I'll post the phone number. ( I got this information from Google)

China Cafe Seafood Restaurant

I went eating in the China Cafe Seafood Restaurant yesterday morning. They have really good food there and if you went around 8 am, you would have a lot of food options and fast service. You can also eat there for lunch and dinner. I like eating the chicken feet and the fried rice. Yummy, I'll post the address and phone number here if you want to go try the food. 2300 South Wentworth Avenue, Chicago, IL‎ - (312) 808-0202.

Hana Yori Dango

Hana Yori Dango is the Japanese version of Boys Over Flowers. This actually started from the manga, then anime, and drama ( Taiwan, Japanese, Korean, Mainland (chinese) versions.) Hana Yori Dango has a season 1, season 2, and a movie. My favorites will probably be season 1 and the movie ( movie the most becuz of [SPOILER] the wedding scene! It is really romantic. This beginning is about Makino, a very poor girl that got in the super rich Eitoku Gakuen school. When she stood up for her friend against F4 ( Flower 4: A group of the richest boys in the school) they gave her a red notice that means a lot of bullying from the group, that can traumatize her for life and regret standing up for her friend. But soon enough, she starts to fall for a member in the group, Hanazawa Rui and then, she fell for their leader, or the cause of the war, Domyoji Tsukasa! That is only season 1 but you can try it out to see if you like it or not. It does look boring in the beginning, but I advise you to first watch the Korean version, then Taiwan version, Japanese version, then Mainland version to get the feel and not get bored. But its up to you! Lights out for me!

Rainie Yang

Rainie Yang is pretty popular I think, well to me she is. she's an artist and actress. I've actually watched a lot of her dramas. Here's a list of them down below. Her songs are catchy but I only heard some of them. I think she is Taiwan's Sweetheart or something idk. Watever

Dramas I've watched with her in them/ will watch
  • Hi My Sweetheart
  • Miss No Good
  • Why Why Love 
  • ToGetHer
  • Meteor Garden
  • Meteor Rain
These are all really good!

Miss No Good

Miss No Good is a drama that I really like becuz it was really funny. There will always be a scene in the episode that makes you laugh but also some scenes that will make you cry. This is about a bubbly girl named Jiang Xiao Hua with zero sense of style. (As you can see in the picture above she wears bright colored clothes and decorates her motorcycle in a frilly sense of style) When her childhood friend, Jiang Si Le returns wanting to date her, she asks (blackmail) a famous, but poison-tounged stylist, Tang Men to turn her into a real lady. Back then Jiang Si Le was a fat boy so kids teased him. Jiang Xiao Hua sticks up for him instead so they became friends. ( She calls him Fat though.) He left Taiwan and later returned years later with a big party inviting her. She was surprised to see him good looking and rich so that's why she accepted dating him. Tang Men calls Jiang Xiao Hua christmas tree becuz of how she dresses and I particularly think its really funny! It might seem really long, but its worth it staying up late to finish the episode each and every time! There's only 14 episodes so its kind of short.
