K-Drama: Flower Boy Next Door

-

Flower Boy Next Door is a really cute and cozy K-drama to snuggle up with for the winter season!  The story revolves around an agoraphobic girl Go Dok Mi (Park Shin Hye) who has a habit of peeping on a guy living across from her apartment, Enrique Geum (Yoon Shi Yoon) who is the friendly eccentric brother of the guy Dok Mi is peeping on, and Oh Jin Rak (Kim Ji Hoon) the hapless romantic neighbor who lives next door to Dok Mi.

I found the theme of the urge to peep on handsome strangers to be very different and unique.  I also enjoyed Dok Mi's journey to getting out of her agoraphobic tendencies through Enrique.  The romance is very innocent and I love Dok Mi's cute practical fashion.

The layering is just adorable!

 I love her sweaters

Flower Boy Next Door gets extra kudos because they added yet another unique factor and that was casting a Japanese actor as a supporting character.


Watanabe Ryu (Mizuta Kouki) moves into Dok Mi and Jin Rak's apartment.  He adds more cuteness and bromance to the drama.

I really like watching the interactions with all the guys of the drama and it's cool because although there are lots of cute guys and one main girl, it's not like they're added to make up some cliche, reverse-harem.  You'll only find a simple love triangle here.  The extra guys are mostly added for friendly bromance.
If this drama has taught me anything, it's that persistence is the key.

 Enrique is the master of  tenacity

This sounds extremely interesting. I might check it out if I have the time. I've been meaning to watch other things other than anime.

@SuperDrew Yeah you should! This drama seriously gives me agoraphobic tendencies, haha. Just a warning though, K-Dramas can be extremely addicting! xD

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

-

Hello again!  My apologies for taking so long to make another 'Anime Food' post.  Enjoy! During my childhood days of watching Pokemon, I would often see Brock cooking this white stew thing.  It would look so yummy but I had no idea what it was..  And even though my entire family and extended family was Japanese, none of them ever made something like this.  (T__T)  The closest thing I got was corn chowder. Only recently did I discover that it's called cream stew and luckily, it's quite the easy recipe. ^^ I remember the very first time I made this.  I used a cream stew mix pack from the store (the one that has the blocks that you melt in the pot).  That turned out pretty bad so I highly recommend people make this one from scratch.  It's really does taste so much better this way.  I'm lazy so instead of having the pretty diced pieces of carrot, I threw in some baby carrots.  XD Close up ;3 I found this recipe ...

Why does Lightning look so different in FFXIII Lightning Returns? [SPOILERS-!]

I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair...

I dyed my hurr!: Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color, Milk Tea Brown

Don't make fun of my fingers, I already know they're short and fat! lol My hair is really stubborn.  No matter what hair dye I use to lighten it, the results are almost always the same.  Even when my hair is already lightened, it somehow still manages to retain that same coppery brown color... In this case, I seemed to have gotten the 'generic' result for "Dark color hair..." I dyed my virgin Asian black/dark brown hair and here are the results:   Window lighting. (Somehow this always alters the color)  Indirect daylight lighting  Bathroom lighting Box color to actual hair comparison in low light.  Seems like it was right after all.  xP On an everyday basis, my hair color looks like a cross between window lighting and indirect daylight lighting. I was honestly freaked out at first because my hair initially looked like it was slightly bleached orange.  But after a few days, it darkened down to what i...
