Marrying the Jealous Type – We Got Married 062913

[Recap] Marrying the Jealous Type – We Got Married 062913

On this episode of “We Got Married,” Jo Jung Chi and Jung In take charge, Go Joon Hee and Jinwoon decide to have fun with the younger couple, and Taemin and Son Na Euncompete to make the other one jealous. 
Marrying the jealous type 
[Recap] Marrying the Jealous Type – We Got Married 062913

Last week all the couples came together for the first time and, as custom, they presented gifts to each other. Jinwoon and Go Joon Hee take their turn to give their gifts to the other couples. Jo Jung Chi and Jung In get some interesting yet practical gifts such as a back scratcher and a head massager that causes an interesting reaction. Jo Jung Chi turns into Hannibal Lecter with a weird face mask that makes your face smaller. How does that work? For the younger couples, they recieve some funny masks, which somehow suits the two perfectly. Maybe now the two can walk around Myeongdong without being harassed by crowds.

The couples receive a mission card ordering them to do some gardening and prepare food. It would be boring if they just split by gender, so the older ladies take Taemin while the men take Son Na Eun. Taemin doesn’t look too happy being separated from his wife, and to make it worse, he is more awkward than usual. He even confesses that he’s not close with the Girls’ Generation members like the others because he prefers male company. Throw the noonas a bone, will you? Poor Joon Hee finally gets to interact with SHINee, but she keeps getting rejected. At least Taemin is loyal to his wife? Jung In isn’t as interested, she is too distracted trying out some new well-being recipes like pineapple pancakes.

Quiet and shy Son Na Eun opens up to the older guys as they garden together. She even asks Jo Jung Chi what the secret to a long lasting relationship is (Answer: Communication). When she bashfully says her dream is to be in an everlasting love, the two men burst out laughing. Let her be, we were all there once. The three get pretty chummy with one another, even sneaking off to chow down on some ramen when they hear they are going to have to eat beans and lettuce. Actually, the three of them look like a new sitcom. 
Synopsis* of “My Two Oppas”: Son Na Eun plays a bright and imaginative school girl who is raised by her two older brothers after her parents die in a tragic boating accident. Jo Jung Chi is the hippie eldest brother who believes in living organically, even if it means growing his own food. Jinwoon plays the flighty middle son who thinks his smile can charm over any woman and get him into her purse. Son Na Eun wonders who is taking care of who, as her bachelor older brothers struggle to fit her into their busy lives.

Taemin is constantly looking out at the garden to watch Na Eun and when he can’t take it anymore, Joon Hee tags along to check on their other halves. Jinwoon and Na Eun welcome their partners happily, but then quickly notice how the other two walk away closely together. They are not having any of that, so they decide to visit the kitchen and just casually show how close they have gotten. It works perfectly, and while Joon Hee is quick to play it cool, Taemin can’t hide the jealousy in his face. The two couples, TaeHee and JinEun, banter nonchalantly to make the other jealous. Come on guys, there’s no real winner in games like these.

[Recap] Marrying the Jealous Type – We Got Married 062913

As the younger couples have a silent battle, Jo Jung Chi and Jung In are left to do the work. Jung In is oblivious to it all, even when its happening right next to her, because she really wants to try these new recipes she found in a blog. Jo Jung Chi on the other hand, is the secret puppet master behind it all. He is the one that “innocently” remarks that Taemin and Joon Hee look good together which started the banter in the first place. Manipulating younger couples looks fun! 

[Recap] Marrying the Jealous Type – We Got Married 062913

After enjoying their healthy dinner, the couples receive another mission. This time, the couples will be competing against each other to be in the main pictorial of a magazine. Jinwoon and Joon Hee have already done a couple photo shoot before, so they are pretty confident. They should be careful, there’s no mistaking the fire of competition in everyone else’s eyes. Each couple will have a different theme for their photo shoots. Either way, I’m really looking forward to all of them!

[Recap] Marrying the Jealous Type – We Got Married 062913

Taemin and Na Eun have been married for two months and already they have intensified their game of “push and pull.” In one of the earlier episodes, Son Na Eun said she hated the game but she is turning into quite the pro. It is cute to see Taemin get all fired up when Na Eun mentions she was kissed on the cheek, or the way Na Eun innocently falls into Taemin’s coy traps, but how healthy can this be for the new couple? If they are getting so worked up about an old photo shoot, what are they going to do if one of them has a kiss scene in a drama? They might even blow up. Young love, sure is turbulent. 
That’s all for this recap! Come back next week when the couples prepare for their photo shoot. Also, follow the writer (me) on Twitter (it’s new!)!

Actor Lee Min Ho In Malaysia: 'I Want To Communicate With Fans Through 'My Everything'

He was the Goo Joon Pyo, the heir of the Shinhwa Group Empire in Boy's Over Flower. A suave and gentleman architect, Jeon Jin-ho in Personal Taste. He later assumed a double life of an MIT graduate with a doctorate degree and codename 'City Hunter', Lee Yoon Sung in City Hunter before transforming himself as the brave captain of the Woodalchi warriors, General Choi Young in Faith. However, on the afternoon of 28th June 2013, he is the man himself, Lee Min Ho. This Korean heartthrob is back in Malaysia, not to promote his new drama but for his Global Fan Meeting Tour bringing 'My Everything' his debut album, together with him.
A press conference was held at Vivatel Hotel, Kuala Lumpur where Lee Min Ho greeted the local media before gracing his showcase and meet-and-greet session at Kenanga Wholesale City Mall on 29th June 2013 at 7.00pm. He greeted the medias with wide smile clearly drawn on his face. Unlike the strong personality in each of his drama characters, he was quite a shy man and humble off the camera.


As the album 'My Everything' was a special treat and gift to his fans, he gave his everything in preparing this album. He wants to deliver a different image of him and injected a 'happy various' mood upon presenting the album to his fans and the listeners. This album also was another way of him communicating and expressed his love to his fans. Let's take a look at what's in stored for the press in regards to his debut album together with his on-going journey as an actor in the excerpts of the interview below:
Q1: Is this your first time visiting Malaysia?
A: Actually, this is my second visit to Malaysia. I first came in 2009 as the ambassador for this Korean beauty product in conjunction of their product launching.
Q2: Hopefully you don't mind if I asked the next question, how did you managed to reach the height that you are now (you're so tall indeed)?
A: [Laugh] Thank you for the compliment, but all the members in my family is actually quite tall. I guess the genes run through the blood.
Q3: You're here for your album 'My Everything' promotion, can you tell us more about the album?
A: This is indeed my very first official album and in celebration of it, I want to dedicate the songs in the album to all my fans, and that's the reason I came here to Malaysia to have this special fan meeting, which is going to be held tomorrow...everything is for my fans.
Q4: Is there any special message from the album since it is entitled 'My Everything'
A: I want to communicate with the fans through this album, hence there are various moods were put in it. You will get to listen to ballads for a more emotional feeling and dance-pop songs for a happier mood.
Q5: You're known through the series of dramas you acted in such as Boys Over Flower, City Hunter, and the latest Faith, and this is the first time you're contributing your voice. Can you describe how do you feel about it?
A: It was a new dimension for me and from this experience; I have learned the difficulties and how hard other artists (singers) have gone through and the efforts that they have put into singing. I can say it's a new self-discovery too for me, as I'm exploring the new side of myself too.
Q6: Is there any specific problem or obstacles that you faced when you practiced your singing?
A: I never managed to sing fast songs and I realized to sing this kind of fast beat song is quite a challenge.
Q7: Will you dance for tomorrow? (showcase)
A: For tomorrow's showcase, I'll perform a little bit of dancing through my songs.
Q8: We were informed that you would appear in a new drama entitled 'The Heirs'. Can you tell us more about this drama?
A: It's a teenage romance drama surrounded in a high school, and the focus will be the love story of the main characters.
Q9: Do you actually consider extending your career to singing since you can sing so well?
A: I never actually debuted as a singer but I'll continue singing to my fans and continue making new songs. However, since I'm not a singer to begin with, I never thought of becoming a singer as my profession.
Q10: Do you prefer acting in a drama or singing?
A: Because I'm an actor to begin with and once you are acting in a drama, you have to spend a lot of time into developing and live up the character, thus my focus is more into acting in the drama.
Q11: Would you ever think or try to get a role as a host or MC of any program?
A: At the moment, I haven't practically thought about becoming a host or MC yet, maybe when I have a more free time, I will sit and have a thought about it.
 Q12: Any artist you wish to work with in the future?
A: Recently, I was paired with Park Shin Hye in a drama and my priority is to wrap up the shooting of the drama. I'll think about collaborating with other artists once the filming is done.
Q13: Even though you have a hectic schedule, you manage to look good and healthy. Is there any secret to have such a healthy
image or would you shared some tips with us?
A: There is no secret to it, but I tend to wash my face early and most importantly to have an enough hours of sleeping (sleep at the right time and wake up at the right time)
 Q14: You've visited Malaysia before. Was there any specific Malaysian cuisine that you have tried and places you've been to that you want to share with us?
A: I really want to visit the Twin Towers. On my last visit, my schedule was rather packed thus I don't have much time to go anywhere. However, this time around I won't miss the opportunity to try all the delicious Malaysian delicacies.
Q15: In your opinion, were there any differences between Malaysian culture and Korean culture? If there were any, what would it be?
A: I've travelled to so many countries around Asia and I felt that there isn't any much difference between one country and another. The taste of the people's in those countries is almost the same. After all, we're human race.
Q16: Is there any special similarities between the Asian countries that you have visited?
A: In my opinion, when you are in a happy mood while travelling, there's no need to compare the country with others. Each is special and unique in their own ways. 
 Q17: For tomorrow showcase, is there anything to expect from the Malaysia fans?
A: Rather than expecting anything from the fans, since this is my very first performance in front of Malaysian fans, I just want everyone to enjoy the show and be satisfied with my performance. I wish all of us could enjoy our time together tomorrow.
 Q18: Is there anything you would like to say to the press/fans?
A: First of all, I would like thank everyone who came to see me today and for tomorrow at the showcase, I'll try my very best to make the most of it and I hope the fans will have a happy time there and if you do come tomorrow, I'll try to make the best of it.

Dreams can have many meanings


Dreams can have many meanings
Keep dreaming until you see a flying pig.
You’ll win the lottery when pigs fly ? in your dreams.
When is the time to buy a lottery ticket or prepare for a baby shower gift?
Last month, the surprising news that there were 30 winning tickets in a lottery drawing was the talk of the town for a while. Even more astounding is that one individual bought 10 tickets with the same winning numbers! Most of us faced rampant jealousy of the lucky lotto player hitting the jackpot, while some speculated whether the ticket-holder had forged the tickets or somehow gamed the system. It turned out that it was not fraud, and some chit-chat around the water cooler with my co-workers dismissed that idea, with everyone hoping they can have a ‘good’ dream to win the lottery. What kind of dream is auspicious and is there a specific lucky dream that could enable you to win?
People’s dreams are interpreted in many ways depending on the objects or images therein. We are not Freudian (sometimes a cigar is just a cigar) but this article will help you obtain a better understanding about Korean culture, as it’s often believed that dreams contain prophetic meanings.
Good luck dreams
Even if some people have never bought a lottery ticket before, they might have a compulsive desire to take a step toward a lottery ticket kiosk if they dreamt of a pig the night before. Dreaming of a pig is interpreted as being extremely fortunate as the animal is the symbol of good luck, wealth, and fortune in Korean culture. It may be related to the fact that the Chinese character for “pig” is pronounced “don”, which means money in Korean.
Nonetheless, most ancient documents analyzing dreams state that pig dreams mean wealth, good luck, a new job or promotion at work, a win or honor. As the pig has long been regarded as a lucky animal, the custom of paying respect to ancestors by performing a ritualistic service with the head of a pig on the table is still performed in Korea. That’s why people become excited after they dream of holding a pig in their arms or chasing after a pig as big as a cow and catching it.
After a pig, the next thing you’d want to see in your dream is your ancestors or a leader of the country – a king or deceased president, for example. If your dead grandfather or a former president appears in your dream, it is believed that your chances of becoming lucky are high. Some lottery winners have confessed that they bought tickets after they had a dream of their grandparents. But seeing just any ancestor doesn’t guarantee you’ll become rich.
An ancestor who is in a bright and cheerful mood and giving you a good piece of advice or a precious gift is definitely a good sign, but one with a gloomy face, or who is scolding your poor manners means the opposite. One wrestler who won a gold medal at the Olympics claimed that he had dreamt of his father giving him a white bag, while another lotto player won a car after she dreamt of her dead mother-in-law giving her a flower.
It sounds gross, but excrement is also a good luck charm in the world of dreams. Hence a dream of yourself in a traditional bathroom with a squat toilet where you can overlook pigs rooting below your feet is the best dream. It may be powerful enough to guarantee you a win in the lottery.
Conception dreams
If a married woman says that she had a dream of a sleek, shimmery snake slithering into her arms or she received a big, fresh peach from a stranger as a gift, don’t spare a moment to congratulate her – she will soon be expecting a baby.
There are certain dreams believed to foretell conception. It is usually mothers-to-be who dream about their own conception, but sometimes their family or best friends have pregnancy dreams for them. What makes conception dreams different from regular ones is the subject of the dream and unusual circumstances. Mothers-to-be say that the conception dream feels so intense and realistic that you’ll never forget it. If the object they dream of is large and vivid in color, but few in quantity, it is more likely to be a good omen. For instance, a large, shiny apple, or a fat, glossy chestnut means a baby.
A baby’s gender is also believed to be predicted by dreams. Flowers, fruit, and jewels symbolize a girl, while dreams featuring tigers, snakes, pigs or carp mean that a baby boy is on the way. Due to their appearance, peppers represent a son as well. Believe it or not, some of the great men in Korean history were born after an auspicious conception dream. Shin Saimdang, who graces the 50,000 won banknote, gave birth to Yi Yulgok, one of the most prominent Confucian scholars of the Joseon Dynasty, after the artist and poet dreamt of a black dragon soaring from the ocean into her bedroom.
Other objects considered good omens include fire, crystal-clear water, excrement and a pool of blood. Some other dreams are regarded as more superstitious. If children dream of jumping off a cliff or falling from the sky, the parents assure them it means they will grow a few inches taller. If someone has a strange or unusual dream that doesn’t seem to belong to any of the accepted categories, people do not give it too much meaning or dismiss it entirely, calling it a ‘dog’ dream, which means a silly dream with no relevance.
Place a pen and pad of paper on your bedside table so that you can record your dreams. If you see a squealing pig, a beloved departed grandparent, or a national hero, you should probably try your luck with a lottery ticket. If it’s snakes, peaches and apples you dream of, either start painting the nursery or thinking about buying baby presents. Sweet dreams!

Male and Female Kpop Doppelgangers: They Really Do Look Alike!



minji daesung
xumin sohee
amjong
aramyunho

Have you ever stared at oppa really hard one time and just thought that he is so pretty, he could literally be a girl?
Though there are incomparable male beauties like Kim Heechul, and Lee Taemin, and a few others that sure don't pale in comparison (but are certainly less memorable for some reason), there are also the celebrities that I could have sworn were split from the same rock. Here are a few examples.
Daesung from Big Bang and Minzy from 2ne1
As they are YG brother and sister, it must say a lot about how YG likes to choose their trainees. Apart from their disarming smiles, Minzy and Daesung are also quite the singers, and have often been commented on looking alike by their own members. I'm just going to put it out there: they should be siblings in a drama. Or even at least a music video. I'd say on the twin scale with 10 being the highest, these guys get a solid 8.
Sohee from the Wonder Girls and Xiumin from EXO
Is it just me? Are my eyes deceiving me or does Xiumin look exactly like Sohee? If only we had a wig to test out the theory. But in all seriousness, I think it has to do a lot with the eyes, the button nose and the baozi cheeks. With the same scale, they can have a hearty 8.
Amber from F(x) and Jonghyun from SHINee
To be honest, sometimes it's hard to pinpoint who Amber looks like the most anymore since she resembles a number or Kpop males. But Jonghyun comes as a close older brother who used to lose at video games to her when they were little. The facial structure of both celebrities celebrate a lot of angles and that's probably where the resemblance pulls from. They have even admitted to looking a like as evidenced by their tweets and many shared pictures. We could always do with some more though. Amber and Jonghyun get a 6.
Aram from GI and Yunho from DBSK
One of the more recent claims being made is the similar features between Aram and Yunho. Although it would be nice to see them in one space, I can't say that they're total look a likes, but I can definitely see the resemblance. Can you? But I'm still giving them a 5. Good effort, though.
Who made your guys' lists of siblings from different families?

Miss A's Suzy Clarifies Dating Rumors With Kim Soo Hyun



Rumors have been circulating regarding the love life of Miss A's favorite sweetheart, Suzy, and popular Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun.
Much like every celebrity couple rumor, many of these speculations have accumulated through photographs stolen of the two hanging out, just the two of them. Pictures have circulated containing the two kpop celebrities walking about and getting all chummy even after the filming of "Dream High" back in 2011.
She already stated how they were just very close friends in the Korea Times, but once again the rumor mill spins onward when Suzy joins the set of guests for "Gu Family Book". During the interview, her relationship with her former Dream High co-star Kim Soo Hyun was put into question, and she responded in a similar effect.
She added that the filming site for the show "Gu Family Book" was a place that Kim Soo Hyun was familiar with so they spoke about the place as well as talked for a bit while they were at it. Suzy goes on to say that since they are such great friends, of course they still keep in touch, so she understands the constant badgering about the true nature of their relationship. Although lately things have been hectic for both parties so they have not had a chance to communicate since.
What are your guys' thoughts on this possible pair?
