To The Beautiful You

Somebody gave me a link to this teaser trailer for the upcoming Korean drama,  Areumdawun Geodaeege 아름다운 그대에게 (To the Beautiful You) and I thought of sharing it here...

If the setting seems familiar to you, then it's because it is the Korean adaptation of the popular shoujo manga, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, or Hana Kimi. Created by Nakajo Hisaya, this 23-volume series tells about a young girl who disguises herself as a boy so that she could enter the all-boys high school which her athlete idol also attends. 


This has already been successfully adapted into TV dramas last 2006 in Taiwan, and twice (2007, 2011) in Japan. I wonder if this Korean version will offer us anything new and exciting? The cast includes young performers like SHINee's Choi Min Ho (remember this video?), Choi Seul Ri, Suh Joon Young and a bunch of names I'm honestly not familar with. I hope this will turn out really well like other manga-based K-dramas like Boys Over Flowers and City Hunter. Let's just cross our fingers and wait expectantly for its premiere this August 15! \(^o^)/

Oh No! Manga Cosplay Camp

Ironic how I draw death when it’s the official series launch! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ  ┻━┻

I think my brain’s been corrupted. Why am I drawing strange things like this after a long break? I do like the overall “dramatic” effect, but it just looks plain creepy!

Anyway, I hope I’ll see you guys at the launch. It’s on a Sunday, the 29th of July 2012 at the SM North Sky Dome! We’ve got a ton of prizes in store, so please pass by and meet all your favorite Oh No! Manga artists~! ヽ(･ω･ゞ)

On another note, who said blue and red can’t be used together in one scene? Break all the rules, I say, break them!

ABSOLUTE DARLING

We are all quite familiar with Watase Yuu, creator of the popular shoujo series Fushigi Yuugi and Ayashi no Ceres. Some of us might also be familiar with her other works, particularly the 6-volume manga Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend), which spawned a live action J-drama in 2008. This tells the story of a naive girl named Izawa Riiko who has bad luck in finding a boyfriend, and the love triangle that ensues between her, her cyborg doll Tenjo Night, and her childhood friend Asamoto Soushi. 

There is an upcoming Taiwanese drama adaptation which will star Goo Hye Sun, the multi-talented korean artist known for her playing Geum Jan Di in Boys Before Flowers, and Fahrenheit member Jiro Wang, who has also appeared in many manga-turned-Taiwanese drama adaptations like It Started with a Kiss, Hana Kimi and Momo Love.

Here's a steamy teaser trailer of this series~

Definitely looking forward to this! (≧∇≦)/

Absolute Darling  (絕對達令), starts airing this Sunday, April 8, in FTV/GTV. A South Korean adaptation will presumably follow later this year.
