atashinchi no danshi 

Synopsis:

There are youths referred to as "net cafe refugees," who have neither a job nor a place to live, but who find themselves hopping around internet cafes. One such refugee is a 20-year-old girl named Chisato, who lost her mother at a young age due to sickness. She spent her youth trying to escape from the huge debt her father left her, and her battle with the repossessors unfolded every night. However, her life changed after meeting one man named Shinzo, changing her views on the meaning of "family." Shinzo comes from a rich family tracing back to the Edo period, and he adopted six good-looking sons with the hope of one becoming his successor, but all of them have strange personalities. Shinzo promises to free Chisato from her debt if she marries him and becomes the mother of his sons. However, a life with these six guys under one roof will not go smoothly.

FULL HOUSE I:

Full House I

FULL HOUSE II:

i had read so many good reviews of the very successful korean romance/comedy drama, Full House, and yes, i must agree to almost all of which as the drama is really well-done! and after the great anticipation of the viewers for another season of Full House, now it is  said that Full House fanatics should better prepare for it’s second series and it is expected to start filming August of this year, no airing schedule yet! Although the final casting is not yet released, people are still hoping for the original lead casts to appear in the the 2nd season of Full House but reading some articles online about this issue, i guess some of the stars in Full House I will no longer be included in the 2nd season. Rumors include Rain and Song Hye Kyo refusing to come back in the 2nd season plus there’s only one original lead cast who will still appear in this upcoming season, meaning 3 original main casts will no longer be included.. how sad if true! Well, so much confusion as to who are the main characters for this coming season and i guess that’s what the fans have to find out, hopefully soon! Fullhouse fanatics are really hoping for the originals casts! :)

after Jerry Yan’s successful Hot Shot co-starring Show Luo and Wu Chun, he then immediately collaborated and worked for another taiwanese tv show, Starlit.. Hot Shot was aired during the 3rd quarter of last year (2008) and just early this year, his Starlit with Terri Kwan was aired.. indeed, he is one of the most sought after, in-demand actors in Taiwain or should I say in Asian Entertainment.

Starlit is greatly different from Hot Shot since the latter is more of a comedy/action/sports type series while Starlit is obviously under the romance genre. So to anyone who wants to see Jerry Yan acting in a cute and sweet series, try watching Starlit! Videos with English subs are available in mysoju. Watch it now to know and be among those who are falling in love with the fairly compatible couple Cheng Yue and Xiao Lu.

Taiwan’s live action of best selling Japanese Manga Hana Yori Dango commonly known as Meteor Garden starring F4 (Jerry Yan, Vic Zhuo, Vaness Wu and Ken Chu) and Barbie Hsu is a real big success in and outside Asia. Moreover, Japan’s version of it entitled the same as the manga one, Hana Yori Dango is considerably a very big hit as well and that made a lot of Asian people and even non-Asian fell in love with the crazy, funny yet sweet love story of Makino and Doumyouji played by actress Inoue Mao and Matsumoto Jun with the additional casting of Oguri Shun, Matsuda Shota and Abe Tsuyoshi completing the F4.. So now, here comes the Korean version of it, Boys Before Flowers.. And even if not all countries are currently airing such drama series, but with online video streamings, it got millions of views since it’s release early this year world and web wide.. Korean version of Japanese manga HYD is starred by  Koo Hye-sun, Lee Min-ho, Kim Hyun-joong, Kim Bum and Kim Joon and since the 2 earlier live action versions (JDrama and TDrama) of it were undeniably a big hit, a lot of the viewers are looking forward to this Korean version and seems a lot are into it right now, huh?! And from this point, i must say Korean’s Boys Before Flowers is another successful version of HYD, it did give justice to the earlier versions of it!! several people are loving it now so why not join the club? hehe.. btw, so what version will be the next?! hmmm…
