ON AIR

just finished watching On Air (a korean drama) today, after 2 months!!!! (i finished the last 7/16 eps today though :P) took me unbelievably long, because the front part wasn't very interesting plus i had so many pre-travel commitments. o.O then i went travelling. then when i'm back i went out to catch up with friends. then i got distracted by bara no nai hanaya and all the smap stuff that jessie fed me with :P

but anyway, just wanna say that On Air is an AWESOME DRAMA! :D it's truly deserving of the high ratings it raked. (check it out here!) at first i merely got attracted to it because it topped some list of top 10 kdramas in 2008 plus the main OST was done by F.T. Island. you know, in the drama, not only the 4 leads were strong in expressing each character's personality, but they showed great teamwork in linking up their characters through their various interactions! (and disappointingly, one of the leads, Park Yong Ha actually commited suicide on June 30th this year. sigh.)

and another point to love is that i really liked how they portray the whole process of shooting a drama - from planning, to writing the script, to casting, to filming, to editing, and eventually showing it on national TV. be it a little exaggerated, i believe most of the scenarios shown were very real, for example how an actress could be reluctant to shoot because of lack of screen time, how investors pull out because of decreased ratings, and how conflicts can arise among the crew. but ultimately, everyone in the team only has one goal, to create a drama that their viewers would like. eventually when you see their drama created you can't help but to feel the very same sense of satisfaction for them.

and not only that, they gave viewers an insight of the lives of these actors and actresses, as well as their managers. how rumours can destroy their lives, and how gossips can actually kill. really amazing.

okay, enough of spoiling the show. i can't really do drama reviews so i'll just give it a miss haha. anyway i guess you can only watch it to know how awesome it truly is. no wonder it's the top drama of 2008!

that aside, i just flipped my little scheduler at 12am only to realise that SENIOR CAMP IS TODAY!!!! ): ): ): gosh. and so i frantically packed and now that i'm done, i just wanted to write an entry on On Air before i forgot. hohoho.

so goodbye world for now, see ya on thursday! :D

+ guaishou's! :D
