To The Beautiful You - Episode 6

At the competition Tae Joon keeps refusing to jump so that he can jump over a higher bar. He looks around for Jae Hee but she isn't there. Finally when he goes to jump, he hits the bar. Meanwhile Jae Hee is on her way to the airport. Daniel realizes that Jae Hee could have seen the competition and only ran away because she thought she was being a burden on Tae Joon. Daniel stops the car and tells her to go support her friend. Jae Hee quickly goes back to the school.



Just as Tae Joon is about to jump again, Jae Hee runs into the gym and yells 'fighting' to him. Tae Joon acknowledges her and manages to make the jump. Although Tae Joon doesn't do so well in the competition, Jae Hee is still proud of him. Later she gets a message from her brother saying that it's okay if she stays there a little longer.


Meanwhile Eun Kyul has skipped the competition and gone out on a date with Da Hye. When Eun Kyul asks the name of the movie, Da Hye replies with 'Do you want to date me?'



Han Na arrives at the dorm and finds Jae Hee. After finding her uniform in her car, she also finds the bracelet she found in Tae Joon's table. She immediately goes to blame Jae Hee. Thankfully Tae Joon shows up displaying a second bracelet and walks off with Jae Hee. Inside the building Tae Joon tells Jae Hee that she was almost found out and calls her a pervert. Jae Hee denies it and Tae Joon says 'if you're not a pervert you must be a girl." Jae Hee quickly denies that as well.



Once again Jae Hee and Eun Kyul end up doing laundry together. Eun Kyul shows Jae Hee some photos of some 'girls' who are actually the boys dressed up as girls for the Miss Genie competition.

Later Seung Ri calls Jae Hee out of class. At first he beats around the bush. Then when he comes to the point he gives her a picture of her with fake hair drawn on her. Seung Ri asks her to be the Miss Genie contestant for their dorm. Jae Hee ends up running away from him.


Da Hye and Eun Kyul go on another 'date.' During dinner Eun Kyul has a hard time cutting his hamburger, Da Hye takes his and cuts it for him which is so super cute. When they leave, Eun Kyul leaves his old damaged cleats by the trash.


Back in room 303, Tae Joon is exercising. He uses the second floor ledge to do pull ups. When Jae Hee comes in she's impressed that he works out in their room as well. Jae Hee offers help and Tae Joon says that he doesn't need help but Jae Hee does hear him. She goes up to her bed and looks down at him. When their faces get close Jae Hee moves up and hits her head on a bar while Tae Joon falls to the ground. Tae Joon runs into the bathroom and looks at himself in the mirror saying 'Dangerous Jae Hee."


In class their teacher talks about the upcoming festival and tells Tae Joon to be a barista. Jae Hee volunteers to help which leads to Eun Kyul to volunteer along with Jong Min.

Later Tae Joon in running and Jae Hee follows with two little fans. There is a cute interaction between them until Tae Joon sees the others practicing. Jae Hee realizes how badly Tae Joon wants to jump again. She then later meets up with Seung Ri to tell him that she will transform into a girl but only under one condition, that he will help Tae Joon get back onto the team.


Seung Ri thinks about Jae Hee's condition to participate in the Miss Genie competition and decides to talk to the coach as the team captain. When the coach goes to see Tae Joon later, he finds him practicing. Tae Joon gets onto his knees as he asks the coach to let him back on the team. The coach says that he will and also lets him know that Seung Ri had told him to do so.


Eun Kyul and Jae Hee go to get supplies for the coffee shop that they will be running. On their trip Jae Hee comes across some lemons that are help with recovering from fatigue. She quickly buys an entire box. Back in the dorms she adds honey to the lemons to make it into a snack. When she goes back to her room, she runs into a security guard who is bringing presents to Tae Joon. Not wanting to be treated different, she leaves her present with the others. When Tae Joon comes in though, he recognizes her handwriting and opens her present first and takes a lemon.


On the day of the festival everyone is preparing for the day. Jong Min comes in with a tiger costume and Jae Hee agrees to wear it. Eun Kyul decides to take a picture with her and once again when he looks at her he sees her through a pink colored lens. Everything around her seems soft and fuzzy. He thinks he's gone crazy for finding Jae Hee attractive even in a tiger suit.



Da Hye comes to the coffee shop to look for Eun Kyul. When Eun Kyul returns, he goes to talk to Da Hye who asks what she should order. He decides on the waffle and goes to make it for her. While he makes the waffle, all the other guys ask if she's his girlfriend but he decides to deny it. Eun Kyul takes Da Hye to the soccer field. There she gives back his soccer cleats that she had repaired. Eun Kyul invites her to come watch one of his games. Da Hye wonders if they are dating and Eun Kyul gets up and offers his hand to her.


At night the Miss Genie competition starts. All the contestants make their way onto stage and do a dance.


Meanwhile Jae Hee gets ready in the dressing room. As she goes behind blinds to change the bully that Jae Hee meets in the first episode comes in and steal her clothes. Earlier Tae Joon had seen him but had continued on his way. Seung Ri on the other hand says Jae Hee's name but she doesn't appear on stage. Worried he runs to the dressing room to find it locked. He runs to get the keys. Jae Hee panics inside the room.


As the bully runs away, he is suddenly tripped by Tae Joon. The clothes fall out of the bully's hands. Tae Joon roughly pushes the bully and says that the clothes belong to someone else and realizes that this was the person who had been pulling stunts on Jae Hee. The bully says that he didn't do anything, Jae Hee had started it. The bully asks why Tae Joon would help Jae Hee and who did he think he was. Tae Joon answers with 'his roommate.'


Tae Joon tries to discreetly return the clothes by merely putting the clothes through the door. Jae Hee says 'thank you kang tae joon' and the door quickly closes. The other return with another key and unlock the door. They burst in and stop as they behold Jae Hee.


The show continues and Seung Ri calls Jae Hee out. Jae Hee comes out and Eun Kyul is shocked. Jae Hee says that she has no special talent and that she'll just sing instead. While she sings, Eun Kyul tries to calm his heart by saying that it was fake and that Jae Hee was only a girl because of two pieces of bread. Then Jae Hee notices Eun Kyul and winks at him which makes Eun Kyul very very happy.



Meanwhile Tae Joon goes off to practice high jump. After the party, Jae Hee comes to find Tae Joon. On the other hand Han Na has managed to get Eun Kyul to lead her to the gym. Jae Hee says that she didn't win because she was apparently lacking something 'feminine' according to the judges. Jae Hee asks if Tae Joon thinks the same. He replies that she wasn't too bad to look at. Jae Hee then says that she'll go change. When she moves, she trips on the bar that Tae Joon had just knocked down. The things she had been carrying fly into the air and she calls into Tae Joon's arms. Both fall onto the mat with Han Na and Eun Kyul watching shocked from the doorway.





To The Beautiful You - Episode 5

The fifth episode starts with Tae Joon seeing the video that Jae Hee had sent to his coach. Her story is finally explained! I didn't actually get it until now. Anyways. Tae Joon learns that Jae Hee had been bullied but because of him, she decides to fight. She starts doing track and field. She is motivated by Tae Joon and now in return Tae Joon decides to be motivated by her.



Tae Joon attempts to get back into training for High Jump again but the P.E. coach decides not to. Instead of practicing, Tae Joon starts to clean up stuff in the gym instead hoping that the coach might see his sincerity.  Tae Joon also tells his director that he wants to jump again. At first she is against it, saying that there were going to be higher expectations from him, but in the end agrees to support him.



Meanwhile both Jae Hee and Eun Kyul are avoiding phone calls. Jae Hee is ignoring her brother's phone calls because she knows that he wants her to leave with him to go back to the states. Eun Kyul is ignoring the phone calls of his elementary classmate with whom he has had some rough memories with.


Han Na continues with her stalker methods. She makes her way into Tae Joon's room using her gymnastic skills. While waiting for Tae Joon she puts a picture of herself on his table and then picks up the bracelet that Jae Hee had given to Tae Joon but she thinks nothing of it. Once again, it is Jae Hee who discovers Han Na in the room. Han Na mentions her stolen uniform and Jae Hee quickly hides the evidence. Han Na notices the motion and then screams when Jae Hee says that she was just getting rid of a cockroach. 

Finally Eun Kyul decides to go meet Hong Da Hye. At first he sees this slightly overweight girl and he seems unhappy but the girl passes him. When he finally sees Da Hye, I think he's happy. She is very cute and talented. The two catch up and Da Hye even plays the violin for him.



Jae Hee notices that Han Na's car has broken down. Using that as a diversion, she returns the uniform. Then Daniel calls her. Jae Hee notices that caller ID and declines the call only to find Daniel standing in front of her. He tells her to take him to the main office. She refuses. He tries to find his own way there. He ends up meeting with Dr. Jang who only talks to him about drinking and cologne.



Jae Hee is happy and decides to surprise Tae Joon with a cake (the cake has a running shoe on it which I think is pretty cute). Tae Joon declines and Jae Hee tries to bring the cake to him but ends up tripping and falling with her face landing in the cake. Jae Hee sits up with cake on her face and Tae Joon takes some off her face and eats it, declaring it 'delicious.' ( I think I might have melted a little at this part) She thinks its ruined. Tae Joon seeing her like this says 'what else were you going to do with it?' Quickly the cake is set up again, with a candle, and Jae Hee puts some of the cake on Tae Joon even after he tells her not to do it. Jae Hee runs away as Tae Joon follows with the cake.


Meanwhile Dr. Jang and Daniel meet up to drink shots. Both of them have opposite views. Dr. Jang is stubborn about Jae Hee staying while Daniel is stubborn about Jae Hee leaving with him. Then Dr. Jang says that Daniel should at least believe in and trust Jae Hee because I mean, if he doesn't who will? Dr. Jang 1 Daniel 0.

The next day Tae Joon and Jae Hee are leaving together. Not wanting to be late Tae Joon starts to run away. When he looks back though he realizes that Jae Hee is talking with her brother. Daniel takes Jae Hee aside and tell her that she can stay. She is allowed to stay until Tae Joon's competition. After that she must return back to America with him. Jae Hee accepts his plan. When Jae Hee makes it back to her locker, she finds her P.E. clothes dripping with water. Tae Joon finds out about this later.


Jae Hee and Eun Kyul end up doing laundry together. Jae Hee asks him his opinion about dressing up as a girl and entering a girl's dormitory. Eun Kyul fantasizes about it a little but then thinks that it would be too hard to do and you would be found out too quickly.



Back in her room, Jae Hee asks where Tae Joon is going. She tries to get him to stay with her because she realizes that she has little time left with him. Tae Joon insists on going. It turns out that today is his mom's death anniversary. At his house, Tae Joon gets into another fight with his father, which Han Na notices right away when she comes in. It seems as though Tae Joon's father believes that Tae Joon blames him for his mother's death or could it be that he actually thinks that? I can't tell.

When Eun Kyul comes to borrow tooth paste from Jae Hee, she gets a message telling her to meet Tae Joon at the pool. She runs off to the pool only to be push into the pool from a great height. Tae Joon comes back to the dorm and Eun Kyul wonders why Jae Hee is not with him. Tae Joon remembers Jae Hee mentioning the wet uniform and runs for the pool. Eun Kyul quickly follows.


Then find Jae Hee in the pool and both jump in to save her. Eun Kyul is about to perform CPR on her but can't. Tae Joon tells him to move and does it himself. And might I say, he was kind of bad at acting the chest compression out but the mouth to mouth....


Later back in room 303, all three of them dry up. Both ask if Jae Hee saw who pushed her. Instead she replies with 'I must have accidentally slipped.' After Eun Kyul leaves, Jae Hee askes Tae Joon where his necklace is. He replies with 'don't worry. It must have fallen into the pool.' The next morning Tae Joon gets up hearing Jae Hee's alarm. He sees that Jae Hee isn't in the room and immediately goes to the pool and pulls her out. He tells her that it isn't something that she should worry herself over.



Tae Joon finally is allowed to participate in high jump events. The coach tells him that he is allowed to participate in the upcoming competition. If he does well, he will be allowed to be part of the team again. Jae Hee goes to see Tae Joon practicing and sees him frustrated as he knocks down the bar.


Jae Hee goes back to the room and packs her things to get ready to leave. Jae Hee later meets Eun Kyul. He tells her to cheer Tae Joon on because he won't be able to make the competition. Jae Hee then gives Eun Kyul a back hug and thanks him for helping her during her time there because otherwise, things would have been a lot more rough. The look on Eun Kyul's face is so cute and priceless. I love this kid.


The day of the competition arrives. Tae Joon takes his stuff and sits down. He opens his bag and finds an unexpected gift. He opens the note and finds a shoelace. The shoelace is from Jae Hee who says that she has to go back to America and won't be able to make it to his competition. She says that she gives him this shoelace because it was lucky for her.

In front of the dorms, Daniel comes in a car and picks up Jae Hee to take her home.

Random:
I forgot where this scene was but I thought it was pretty funny. Of course when Tae Joon realizes that he is sharing a room with a girl, he gets the lock to the bathroom fixed. The next time that Eun Kyul and Seung Ri try to enter the bathroom they can't get in.

To The Beautiful You - Episode 4

ACK!!! She leaves! I can't believe that it ends with her leaving?!?! I was finally getting all happy with Tae Joon and Jae Hee. Meh, why did she have to be found out so early?


Anyways back to the episode. I was so ecstatic when Tae Joon comes to Jae Hee's rescue when the bad guy keeps yelling "SAVE ME SAVE ME" and then Tae Joon actually does by basically a flying kick kind of thing. Then he, Tae Joon, carries Jae Hee because she's injured!!! Awww!

Next aww moment was when Eun Kyul sang Jae Hee his "theme song." I agree with Tae Joon, what kind of a song was that? It was definitely a confession. But still very cute. Of course he's very cute. The way he keeps reacting to Jae Hee is adorable. And I love when both Jae Hee and Eun Kyul get kicked out of class together later in the episode, Jae Hee for yawning in class and Eun Kyul for letting his phone ring in class.


And I have to say, the relationship with Jae Hee and Daniel (I think that was the brother's name) is pretty good, minus the whole lying thing. It's obvious that he cares for her deeply. Making sure that she has a phone, taking her shopping for cute things and even trying to help her get an autograph from the person she idolizes.


The only thing that I would comment on is that her hair just looked funny long. I have gotten used to her with short hair. Anyways, I do love the ending. Can't wait for the next bit. And this scene was just adorable:


Well, Eun Kyul was should I say. I feel bad for him. He is such a sweetie pie.

To the Beautiful You


Right now I am attempting to watch 'To the Beautiful You.' I say attempting because it's not the best quality, the entire episodes are not there and the videos have a watermark on them. It's frustrating that Mysoju.com is down. It was the one place I could watch my dramas in peace. Darn copyright. What about the fans who can't watch on TV but still want to watch?

Sorry, just a little rant on the loss of drama sites. Anyways, back to the drama. I just finished watching the second episode!! I can't believe Kang Tae Joon just kissed Jae Hee.


Wait! First a little summary:
Gu Jae Hee is a Korean girl who moves from America to Korea. She moves to meet her idol, a high jump competitor, Kang Tae Joon. She disguises herself as a boy to get transferred into his all boys school. There she becomes good friends with Chae Eun Kyul, who seems to be starting to like her, and shares a room with Kang Tae Joon. Meanwhile Song Jong Min, another boy at school, can't figure out why he dislikes Jae Hee. Seol Han Na, a sports star nicknamed 'the nation's fairy,' is Jae Hee's rival as she too likes Tae Joon.

Continuing:
I really don't know what's going to happen to Jae Hee. She gets discovered by the doctor at the end of the first episode. She's being kissed at the end of the second episode by the guy she likes. BUT she's finally being accepted because of her hard work in the Dormitory Sports Competition which leads to her dorm, dorm 2, to win the competition.

I think my favorite person in this drama so far is definitely Chae Eun Kyul. He is the funny, cute, sweet guy in the drama. He is an awesome soccer player, taking a phone call in the middle of a game and still scoring the goal. He is also constantly taking pictures of himself and others.

Min Ho (of SHINee) as Kang Tae Joon

Choi Seol Ri (Sulli of f(x)) as Gu Jae Hee

 Lee Hyun Woo as Cha Eun Kyul

Hwang Kwang Hee as Song Jong Min

B2ST - Midnight Sun



I realize that B2ST released their album 'Midnight Sun' at the end of July but I still can't get enough of it. When I first saw/heard 'Beautiful Night,' the title track, I was instantly hooked. It has such a good beat that keeps you on your toes. My sister and me can't ever skip this song when it comes up on our playlist. All in all, they really did a superb job with this album. I can't wait for the next one.

Young Saeng - 1.2.3 (Overjoyed)


SS501's Heo Young Saeng has come back with his Japanese solo album "Overjoyed." ^^

His last album's "Crying" featured the main song with the same title. The song really displayed his tenor voice. The music was beautiful. The dance moves definitely echoed some of SS501's previous moves. All in all, it was an awesome song/comeback.
  

Now with "1.2.3" the title track of "Overjoyed" I hope that Young Saeng will get even more confident with his skills and catch the heart of more fans. The music was really really good. Then you get to his voice... this is why I love this oppa. His voice is so super gorgeous. It is definitely a pure full voice. He deserves more attention for the beauty in his voice.
