Drama Review 韩剧: You Who Came From the Stars 來自星星的男人

Have been waiting for months for this and now (finally, I absorbed all the episodes! ahahahaa)

Korean Drama 韩剧 : Big (빅)

Lately, I have been crazy about drama with "supernatural" as the theme (Will be blogging about KangChi, The Beginning soon).. I decided to start watching "BIG" after putting it on hold for the longest time. Reason being.. I don't like the plot, it's just too messy.. and the soul jumping part wasn't that refreshing to begin with.

Synopsis
18 years old Kang Kyung Joon (Shin Won Ho)’s spirit suddenly becomes transplanted in the body of 30 years old Seo Yoon Jae (Gong Yoo). Seo Yoon Jae is a successful doctor and engaged to high school teacher Gil Da Ran (Lee Min Jung). Gil Da Ran just so happens to be the teacher of 18 years old Kang Kyung Joon. 

Jang Ma Ri (Bae Suzy) is a girl who love Kang Kyung Joon (Shin Won Ho) and try any effort to escape Kang Kyung Joon’s spirit from Seo Yoon Jae’s body. (Source)

Messy right? The soul of his student went into her fiance's body and then fall in love with each others... Arrggggg~ how they going to face their family after that?? Messy messy messy~

Take away the messy plot.. the love story between the 2 leads was pretty cute ... so One can't help but wish that the souls won't change back EVER! lolx

Great acting... (except Suzy.. she always look kinda "same" in all her roles.. abit boring after awhile don't you think??? :b ) .... quite a fun drama to watch.. BUT I super hate the ending.. got ending like no ending like that!! hai~

I think I shouldn't talk much... because I think I will blah out all the spoilers~ hahahaa

Anyway, when I first know about Lee Min Jung was from "Boys over Flowers" and all the Skinfood's CFs (beautiful and first time seeing her as a lead.. not bad not bad~)

One of my fave scenes - where the lead trying to take pic of herself but get photobombed~ lolx

I really like how the story begin with her student.. (the umbrella)... it just soooo chessy~ hahaha

Rating : 5/10

For Gong Yoo and the awesome acting : 8/10

Korean Drama 韩剧 : I can hear your voice 聽見你的聲音

I cannot STOP thinking about this kdrama "I can hear your voice(聽見你的聲音)" - it's a melodrama, super interesting story plot and the romance between the leads are sooooooo sweet!!  *Draw heart in the air*

Synopsis
The drama is about a lawyer who is appointed by the state to represent a defendant who has “not even a 1% chance of being declared innocent.”
Jang Hye Sung (Lee Bo Young) is a bold, sassy, thick-faced, comical female lawyer. She is a prickly edge, sharp tongue who doesn’t have a bit of concept or manners and finds it hard to be enthusiastic about what she does. Cha Kwan Woo (Yoon Sang Hyun) is a serious, passionate and macho former police officer who becomes a government lawyer. Meanwhile, Park Soo Ha (Lee Jong Suk) is a 19 years old boy who has the superpower to hear people’s thoughts. Together they will team up to solve the cases no one else wants, cases that only have a one percent chance of being found innocent.

 I love the plot and twist of this melodrama, so interesting and very touching..... you will hate, scream, cry and feel the burn angers together with the casts!! Not forgetting their great acting!!!!

I love the connection between the 2 leads, their lives are full of sadness and craps.... the tragic accident brough 2 beautiful souls together ... and for the very long time (in drama history)... I don't see the wide age gap different/weirdness between the 2 leads... I love it (hahaha...) I simply find that they go so well together <3<3<3 They look good together too!! (Great casting choice~)

I have nothing but love and rave about this drama!!! Just watch it... NO spoiler from me.... kekekeke~

About Nanaʼs Green Tea Café
Established ten years ago in Tokyo, ʻʻNanaʼs Green Teaʼʼ is a pioneer of Japanese cafe
dealing with ʻʻMatchaʼʼ, green powdered tea.

"Nana's Green Tea" gained popularity and became known as the ʻJapanese Starbucksʼ where tea drinking is a culture. Nanaʼs Green Tea Cafe was also awarded the No.1 brand among Japanese cafe. 

All green tea leaves served in the Café are imported from Kyoto only, which is the most famous production center of ʻʻMatchaʼʼ, aiming at delivering genuine Japanese taste and health to modern people.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Tea Cappuccinos in Chai, Scottish Breakfast and Anniversary Blend Tea (review)

Tea tea tea tea tea ... and tea in cappuccinos form!! I cannot help it and took up this offer to "taste" the new limited tea cappuccinos from the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® (whispering "I love their English Breakfast tea latte")

Stop by Coffee Bean a few days ago with my sisters to have some "tai tai" lifestyle by sipping teas and cappuccino before dinner. (Ariya is having double shot cappuccino - she is NOT a tea person)

 Anniversary Blend Tea

This one is by far the stronger "scent" among the 3 Tea Cappuccino. The berries scent were very strong and the combination of tea, foamed milk, vanilla bean sauce and berries are very unique. 

I'm not a fruity/floral tea person, but this is an ok combination for me - the acai berry taste wasn't too strong (not sour at all).

Scottish Breakfast Tea Cappuccino

I love Coffee Bean English breakfast tea latte, and when I Scottish Breakfast in the limited tea cappuccino... I have to try it!!!!

Hmmm... I normally prefer creamy and richer tea, so this is abit too light for my liking, BUT the blend of vanilla bean sauce add abit of richness and make it a bit unique.

Chai Tea Cappuccino

I didn't have this in the cafe, but in take away form.

This taste like a mild version of chai tea - the spice taste wasn't that strong, not as sweet and creamy. If you are someone who think that chai tea is abit too rich, this version is the one to try.

Among all 3 limited Tea Cappuccino, my fave would be Chai Tea Cappuccino, like I mention above, I like stronger and richer teas.. but not a fan of "fruity" tea.

All Tea cappuccino are not that creamy, if you not a fan of creamy milk tea, you can give tea cappuccino a try.

Tea Cappuccinos will be available for a limited period of eight weeks, from 8 April to 25 May 2013 at all Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

Price : SD$6.00 each
