Starmelody’s Neighborhood

My favourite favourite Jun was in it yet I didn't watch the said dorama. Because the female lead didn't look beautiful enough to attract me (but then again, given my experience with still print media, I should have learnt something about their faithfulness to the actual person) and the plot was just too far-fetched.

Now, Korea is making a remake of it. With one of my favourite Korean actor, no less! ARGHHHHHHHHHHH I won't watch it. No way no way. It'll be like betrayal if I watched that and not Jun's.

Ichiro~

Its been some time since okasan had passed away, I talked it over with the rest of my Otuoto..ah, sumimasen..I forgot that Sachiko was a girl... and Imouto that we need to go on our separate ways.  I was going to move to a fishing village in Tomosaki-ku to start a "Fishing School" apparently it was a good thing to start over there.  Jiro was going to move with Shiro and Goro to Tokyo.  They were going to find work in sping.  A good start for anyone.  And the twins, well...Saburo and Sachiko were inseparable still.  We all wanted to stay together with those two yet they did have a world of their own.  Only Jiro-kun was able to ge to them at all.  They were good in music both of them and passed in TouDai's Arts Department but the passing of Okasan got them rooted on the house.  They didn't..no..Sachiko didn't want to leave.  We were the only family they knew of.  We all knew that they were adopted yet we felt like they were our own.  Sachiko most of all, the only girl in the family, we had to take care of imouto no matter what.  Well, Jiro-otouto overdid it sometimes but I understand him.  Imouto was kind of careless with her actions and didn't mind being around guys even at a young age.  Although it was funny how she got ne engaged to my fiance at the moment.  Her good friend, Nana-chan.  

I smile at the memory as i tidied Okasan's shrine.  Her lovely face smiled back up at me as she did the day I introduced Nana-chan to her.  It was something I will never forget, Okasan wasn't the type of mother who scrutinized everything.  she trusted us and our decisions.  At the end of the day when Nana-chan had gone home.  I can remember Okasan saying I made the right choice and she was happy.  Tears welled in my eyes as I tried to blink them back, that's when Saburo called us about some letter that he found.

As I read it, my heart was full of happiness and sadness at the same time.  I think I would need to postpone my leaving.  Looking around the table as the rest of my siblings read the letter.  We wanted the same thing, I took the plans and tore them.  It was the right thing to do.  I turned around in time to see Sachiko run into the bathroom.  She was crying again.  I had wanted to comfort her but then again, I wasn't any good at that kind of thing.  Jiro-kun, walked to the fridge as Saburo ran after his twin.  I knew what would happen next.  Jiro would open the bathroom door and hold Sachiko.  It was all going to be fine. Goro smirked and said he would let Otousan know we're staying for a while more than expected.  I just nodded and smiled.  Shiro smiled and followed me to the bathroom, we could her laughter now.  It will all be ok.  We will be having the dinner that Sachiko made for us like always.  I just hope that Jiro will alway be there for the twins, had I wanted to take them in, I'd never understand them like he does.  

List of Attendees: HERE [updated 11.07]

I forgot to add this in my previous post so here I am posting again....

Well, if you (think) you can't make money from side business of a drama series, such as overseas rights, advertisements, OST ver 2/2/4s, due to SUPPOSED low interest from viewers, what do you do?

Why, follow the wishes of the small, but manaic following of the drama. Sell drama merchandises! And apparently, this is what will happen. I hope it does materialise, because these are really cute, even without the support of the underlying plot. I'm a MNIKSS fan, but I didn't really like the pig from the drama. This, however, is absolutely adorable!

The pig-rabbit soft toy!
I wonder if the hair pin comes with it.

ANJELL pogs/stickers!

Super duper cute!

I had wanted to just talk about the hair, after seeing the latest BTS photos...but as I browsed through my folders for hair, I decided I might as well do one on clothes too. So here you go, hair and clothes, the two most important items for guys.

As the drama progressed, the stylists decided to support the screenwriters' attempt to position Jeremy as THE comic factor of the drama. How so? Since they have no control over the character development, they'll do what they are best at! So here we go, be prepared.

From this pretty boy hair befitting a boyband,

To slightly dorky, but still acceptable if you see it as "leading fashion trends",

To outright strange mushroomy hair, which seems to me was a result of them putting a bowl over his head and snipping the beautiful godlen locks off while eyeing another eye candy two seats down the row
(clue: the one whose hairstyle seemed to be invertly related to Jeremy's hairstyle),

And finally, the one that led to this post, mushroomy hair + rubber band around the mushroom.

And just one different from normal hairstyle which I liked

Don't get me wrong. Hong Ki (Or Hong Gi?) is absolutely cute, hot even. Here, I uploaded an extra picture just to emphasis this point. Here you go, EXTRA large.

But really, his hairstyles are getting weirder and weirder. And the weird thing is, as I watched on, the weird hairstyles start to grow ok...Grow cute even, I guess the stylists' plan worked! Their creation matched and accentuated Jeremy's character in the drama. But still, I want the pretty boy back!!

And while I'm at it, here's how the fashion coordinator coordinated with the stylists' efforts as well.

There were normal clothes that normal people, or not-so-normal showbiz people would wear. But in between, we had

this which reminded me of cartoon rodents

and something from the Taiwan yeshi

and, which at least was a little pretty boy/manga prince-y

and

and, this which I can at least imagine someone in Harajuku wearing

And the most recent

Oh well....He's still cute no matter what!

To prove it, here's a gif

And to end off, gifs of this extremely hilarious scene that got me bursting into laughter in the middle of the night

Enjoying the senerity of the countryside, without irksome press media and fake fairies.

Here, even strangers greet and wave to each other! Wave back!

But it turns out to be.........
PIG ALERT!

And here, another proof of JGS's dorkiness in the drama

Nah, it's not sour. In fact, I like eating lime....not!

As for character dorkiness, here's a list of allergies Hwang Taekyung suffers from,
and I bet you anything the list will grow longer and longer

Saburo~
It's been a few months since kachan died.  We decided to move out and go on with our lives.  Tidying up the quaint house was going to take us all day but it was worth it.  I was taking down the plaque tha hung out next to the door as my brothers argued what to do.  My twin sister was nowhere in sight, she must be in the kitchen making lunch.

As Jiro was busy drawing plans of the things that need to be taken out and how things should be moved with Shiro and Goro, I came across an old picturebook.  It had our memories.  When Sachiko and I came to be a part of the family way before the two youngest were born.  Tochan and Kachan were kind enough to take us in as their own.  I took a deep breath and smiled.  Seeing how we grew up, the laughter and tears that each shared with us.  We were thought of as part of this big family.  In spite of everything, there was no ill-willed feelings towards myself and Sachiko, as we our siblings.  Demou, with Sachiko being the only girl in the family, she was spoiled yet overprotected.  She was one of the boys, so to speak.  But even so, I can see something that the others may or may not have noticed.  Jiro-niichan and Sachiko were quite close.  Well, niichan was always with the two of us really but he paid closer attention to my twin.  Its funny but be that as it may, I don't find it akward nor wrong.  Why am I saying this? Well, it's the truth ne?  Sachiko and I were adopted.  My smile faded as I turned the page of the album and saw Kachan's smiling face holding up a drawing that Sachiko made yers ago.  Her smile was heartfelt, she appreciated the effort that went into the gift she got.  That was many years ago, I turned the page again and reached the end of the album.  There was a letter addressed to us.  It was Okasan's handwriting, we all knew it so well.  I started reading it, almost cried but suppressed the feeling.  Standing up from the table, I gathered the others and they each read it.  Okasan wanted us to go our own way one day, saying she will always be there for us.  It was Sachiko who didn't hold back.  She was the last to read it, running off to the bathroom with it and slamming the door behind her.  It was her way of dealing with things, we understood.

Ichiro-niichan then took the plans that we were making that day and tore it.  He looked at us.  We all felt the same, we wanted to stay a bit more in the house, no, the home we shared with Okachan.  I then went to knock on the bathroom door.  No sound, no answer.  I knew who cam make her stop but before I could call out his name, he was already behind me.  His hand on my shoulder, a nod affirming that he knew what to do.  I stepped aside for Jiro-niichan.  He already had the key to the bathroom and opened it, there at the corner near the shower was Sachiko.  I understood her pain.  But I didn't know what to say. It was niichan who held her and said softly that it will all be alright.  Sachiko always cried without a sound.  But you'd know she was fine when she was breathing normally instead of the sharp intake she made every now and then.  When that happened, I step in and make a joke and get her to laugh like we used to.  The three of us were the closest.  Then again I have always thought Jiro-niichan looked at Sachiko differently.  I may be wrong but then again.  Who knows?!  Soon the high-pitched giggles and the chuckles from niichan and myself echo in the glow of the moonlight, streaming through the window high on the wall on  one side.  The others crowd in and start chiding us.  Pulling Sachiko oout of the bath and helping her set the table for dinner like we always used to as a family.

want more?? tell me ok?!
