Synopsis:
 
This drama revolves around the fate of two men born in the 60s at the same time, and in the same hospital, of a coal mining town.

Shin Tae-hwan is the managing director of a coal mine in Taebaek. As the true embodiment of ambition, he strives to become the inheritor of the coal mining company called the Taesung Group. In this process, he kills Lee Ki-chul, another miner who has been blocking his path to success. For his own selfish pleasure, he also seduces a nurse at Taebaek Hospital, only to coldly brush her away later.

At that moment, the wife of the deceased miner Lee Ki-chul gives birth to a son at Taebaek Hospital. On that same day, Shin Tae-hwan’s wife also gives birth to a baby boy.

Mi-ae is the nurse who has been betrayed by Shin Tae-hwan. In her rage, she comes up with a scheme to fulfill her own revenge. As if to jab a dagger into Shin Tae-hwan’s heart, she switches the two babies born in the same hospital. By doing so, she viciously transforms the fates of the two lives.

One of the Korean drama series that consist a lot of episodes, I think 50 episodes all. And at first I actually wonder who would like to watch such a very long drama series. We are so used to Asian Dramas that are not really long, we actually love the idea that korean dramas have a short storyline yet interesting, usually end fast! So for this time, it’s the opposite, divided in 50 parts but well surprisingly the viewers have welcomed this one with so much interest because first and foremost, the first episode is already interesting, exciting and you will surely crave to look forward to the next episodes. Once you’ve watch it, I bet you’ll be glued to the idea that you’ll want more of this series. This one talks on some family issue, friendship, love, and a bitter revenge that makes this drama series sort of suspense! With good plot and good performance of the characters, I guess you’ll not be bothered at all with how long this series runs.

shop wise

Christmas is fast approaching so have you started shopping your to-buy list of gifts this holiday season? I know some are still prefer shopping in the malls, and I am also aware of the few but still increasing number of consumers who made their shopping activity easier, with no hassle, and in some cases, cheaper with online shopping! Yes, you read it right, one of the growing trend online is the purchasing of goods via the internet. With just a click of your mouse and one sit in front of your computer, you can already start buying your christmas shop list! There are sites that help you decide on what to buy and in what online store will you purchase it. Let’s take for example gift items for women, say, perfume gift set, some think that perfume is real good item to give this Christmas but quite expensive. I can say it’s kind of hard and tiresome  over a crowded people to visit one shop to another just to canvass good perfumes in affordable price. So with online shopping, there are sites that can offer you features that will enable you to compare two or more items from different brands and from different online stores. With that automatic result of comparison between items, then it will surely give you an ease to decide which of which you will buy — as they say a wise purchase! There are different products available to choose from that you could compare quality and of course prices, from petty toys to teeny games like Wii Fit, shirts, shoes, gadgets, almost everything you could think to purchase. I know most of us are on tight budget now so it would really be helpful if we compare prices first before purchasing something. Well, better be wise than impulsive. And don’t feel the hassle, don’t get into the crowd this holiday season, you can try shopping with no sweat! Anyway, online shopping is not only available during this Christmas season, we can take advantage of this one as in forever as long as there’s this availability of the internet.

I think this is one of the hottest Korean drama series these days. Still on the top hot list in mysoju. It started airing last September and just ended recently. The combination of romance and classical music in this series is well-developed. Indeed, not a typical lovey-dovey romantic drama series! This is something unique, refreshing and really well-played!

And since this series has ended, Beethoven Virus’s fanatics are asking for a sequel! Simply because they love it! =)

living in digital world

I remember before when taking pictures, there’s no easy way or I guess there’s really no way to transfer the photo taken from the camera to the computer since we’re using a camera film. But well as technology evolves, film-based were replaced with digital nowadays offering real good quality as compared to the films not to mention the feature allowing file transfer from one device to another. So the two camera generation are really comparable!

Transferring digital photos taken from a digital camera to the a personal computer or a laptop will only take you for minutes. It is just actually a matter of connecting the digital camera and the computer through a USB cable. If the camera device was detected then it’s now easy to browse it and copy and send the images from it to the computer. I heard we can also view the digital photos to an LCD TV using certain cables. I haven’t tried it yet but I know it is possible just like connecting a PSP to an LCD TV and view the pictures or watch the video stored in the PSP. With the real good resolution of LCD TV, surely the images will be detailed and real good to look. Well, everything has really evolved at their best but still improving to offer the best of the best!
