{ Princess' Man | Wallpaper }

It's been a long time since I last used Photoshop to blend something. Hope my skills haven't gotten worse. Usually I'm motivated to use Photoshop again when I find new love, such as right now it's Park Shi Hoo (and Princess' Man) ~ - such dark motives =]]

Ah, when I go to find some Photoshop tutorials, I suddenly think of those people who use others' actions to adjust the color, add some brushes, type simple words like "love", "smile",... and call it their "designs". It's the same as those so-called photo manipulators that download stocks on the Internet, adjust colors a little bit and call that their photo-manip works. Don't call yourself designer baby, noone's gonna be tricked. That's actually plagiarism!

OK, no more talking.. Hope you guys like these wallpapers as much as I do. I'm currently using the first one \m/

{ Princess' Man | Review - Recap | Ep 12 }


http://kdandcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/line.gif

In this episode, we come to know the man who shares the chain with our Seung Yoo is called Jo Suk-Joo. Together they successfully trick those mercenaries into believing that Seung Yoo has died (as they saw him falling from the cliff with their own eyes) and use their boat to escape the island with Wang No Geol, a coward, pompous prisoner. However, Seung Yoo is severely injured so they come to a gisaeng house to seek for help, for Suk-Joo's brother is a gisaeng here (he's too beautiful for a man).


The princess and Jung Jong joins the scheme of Keum-Sung to assasinate Su Yang on Se Ryung's wedding day. After that, Shin Myun begs Jung Jong to come to his wedding, as he's the only friend left. Jung Jong refuses, yet Shin Myun says desperately, "I'll be waiting for you!".

Knowing that the ship has sinked, Se Ryung's like a dead person. Because of that, Shin Myun asks Su Yang to postpone the wedding day (he's a gentleman indeed).

Se Ryung and Shin Myun helps Seung Yoo's sister-in-law and his niece to find a shelter to hide in the meantime because they were degraded into slaves. Knowing Se Ryung's heart has never opened to him, he shouts, "Just how long do I have to wait?" and suddenly hugs her. In scouting the house of Prince Su Yang, Seung Yoo happens to see them together...


My comment: I'm kinda disappointed with Moon Chae Won's performance in this episode, fortunately Park Shi Hoo's has compensated for her failure. I always have the feelings that she's merely acting and the mask she's wearing is starting to crack. Even though Se Ryung's living, she's actually dying. The wedding day is near and Se Ryung should have been a wandering spirit who has nowhere to go, no one to believe in. But all I see in the Moon Chae Won's Se Ryung is just an annoying brat, tears are fake and pain isn't there, in her heart.
On the other hand, Park Shi Hoo has done a good job, even though his lines aren't many. He has captured the character's feelings and let it all out. Well, I'm not saying this because I'm his fan, but because of his talent. Keep up the good work, PSH!
I'm starting to like Princess' Man's soundtracks even more, especially the song {Destino}, which you often hear in intense moments and the ending song (I still don't know its name, urg...)

{ Princess' Man }


I've been wondering the two dramas that I've watched recently are all about princess (Prosecutor Princess and now it's Princess' Man). Now I know that it's Park Shi Hoo's fault. He's the main lead in both dramas and I can't help watching any dramas starring him.

It's said that Princess' Man is a "Romeo and Juliet" in Korean style. I was a bit hesitant after hearing that, but I'm glad I gave the drama a try. It's so wonderful, breath-taking and getting more and more intense. The story's about a tragic love story between Se Ryung - the daughter of Prince Su Yang, who is very ambitious, cruel and always coveting the kingship, and Seung Yoo - grandson of Kim Jong Seo, a loyal official. The little game between Se Ryung and the princess has led to an encounter with Seung Yoo that they'll regret for the rest of their lives.

I've heard some complaints about Park Shi Hoo's acting skills in the first two episodes. Some criticized his voice, saying that it's robot-like. I think so too, but I also think that it's suitable for his role, a playful and wise man. You'll see his performance improving as the story evolves. Maybe he's not good at talking normally in conversation, but he's pretty talented when it comes to tear-jerking moments and fighting scenes. The director of "Family's Honor" has once said, "When I saw Park Shi Hoo crying, I suddenly wanna cry too." It's the same for me, it's like he's not acting and those tears are real. Surprisingly, Park Shi Hoo's eye movements can talk! Just looking at his eyes, you'll know if he's sad, happy or frustrated. That's his specialty!

Spoiler Warning
At the end of episode 10, there's a scene that he strangles her neck after knowing that she's the daughter of the one who killed his family. Seeing his complicated expressions at that time, I feel like I'm the one who's hurt. I had no time to compliment his acting skills but just sit like stone and feel his pain.
End spoiler

Also, I've been wondering why Park Shi Hoo always play too-perfect-too-good roles. In Family's Honor, he's a rich, intelligent ruthless businessman (who's actually very child-like and adorable). In Princess Prosecutor, he's a rich, brave, talented lawyer. In Iljimae, he's again an acute, courageous, strong government official.


His secret child (oi, just kidding ♪)

ROFL

Personally I think Moon Chae Won has also improved her performance. She's cute but not as pretty as the princess, so her face is perfect for the role, a lively lady with strong curiosity.

What's more to say about Princess' Man?
- Very interesting plot. It's not new yet not too cliché either. Sometimes it's unpredictable and there are lots of unexpected dangerous events happened with the male lead. You'll watching the drama anxiously worrying what's going to happen to him.
- Beautiful cinematography. I especially love the swing scenes of Se Ryung. It looks easy but actually difficult, dangerous and scary. The crew have the pull the strings to swing her high and fast. It's great that the actors can get emotional when there's no romantic music at all.
- Euphonic music. The soundtracks were chosen carefully and approriately. Just hearing the music makes you utterly sad.
- Wonderful cast. Other middle-aged actors/actresses are all talented, experienced and complete their roles perfectly. Lee Min Woo (as Jung Jong) is unexpectedly cute and interesting. Song Jong Ho (as Shin Myun): maybe because of his role - a pathetic pitiful official , I don't like him much. But his acting skills aren't bad.

I'm glad to hear that Princess Man's latest episode stays first in ratings.
Hope the crew can keep up the good work.

{ Prosecutor Princess }




I've just watched { Prosecutor Princess } a couple of days ago, for I was interested in fashion design. However, it turns out that the drama is irrelevant but it was surprisingly good. The female lead is Ma Hye Ri - it's a miracle that I can actually remember a Korean character's name, maybe it's because her name starting with {Ma}, which is somewhat special. She is a spoiled child born with a silver spoon in mouth, a shopaholic and a prosecutor-to-be. The story is mainly about her relationship with Seo Il Woo - a not only rich but also talented lawyer. Even though she's a prosecutor, all she cares about is shopping. She has no manner, which causes lots of big troubles for herself and her colleagues. But whenever she's in trouble, lawyer Seo always appears and helps her like a real white knight. Even when she decides to move out to live near her crush, Yoon, whose wife has died 10-or-so years ago, Seo also help her persuading her father. Then she finds out that Seo's house is next to her apartment. The most touching moment is that Seo protect her from being thrown tomatoes (I actually cut that part out and watched it over and over again, wondering why such a man exists]. Probably that's when I fall in love with Park Shi Hoo, once starring Lee Jun Ki's love rival in {Iljimae}. I mean, I love childish and funny men too, but I also can't help drooling over a cool and wonderful and awesome and sparkling prince like that (haiz...). Even though, I can't help wondering why there's always at least a shower scene of Park in his dramas. His body is great but of course can't catch up with Bi Rain's fabulous six packs (now I'm starting to sound like a perverted single woman).



However, this drama isn't all about love. There are some thrilling moments, like when Ma Hye Ri investigates several cases, when she was alienated because of her irresponsibily in work or when the truth about Seo Il Woo's real identity is finally revealed. I remember clearly, in the first episode that prosecutor Yoon has said, "Every woman wants to be a princess". Even though some are not into soap opera, or unrealistic fairy tales which always have a happy ending, every single woman desires to be treated well, to be cared and to be loved, like she's a real princess. Seo Il Woo's deep love for Ma Hye Ri has proven that even though she's just an annoying brat to others, in his eyes, she's still the princess that he falls for. The happy ending is predictable yet satisfying. I love {Prosecutor Princess}. It's definately a great drama, but regrettably its ratings aren't high, compared to that of Secret Garden (a funny but bad drama indeed - though I like Hyun Bin's face).



|---------------♥---------------|

SCORE
Plot: 4.5 / 5
♥ Acting skill:
+ Kim So Yeon as Ma Hye Ri: 4/5
+ Park Shi Hoo as Seo In Woo: 5/5

♥ Great drama - Go watch it!
