...Hallyu began roughly 12 years ago when the rest of Asia discovered Korean soap operas. One of the breakthrough dramas was a series 'Winter Sonata' starring Choi Ji-woo & Bae Young-Joon. After that, more Korean dramas saw their way to foreign shores and Korean films and music started to follow suit. Korean marketing people started to see a Korea-centric trend. They dubbed this flow "The Korean Wave" or Hallyu....

my love my faith 넌 내곁에서 멀어져 갔지만
나는 너를 그렇게 쉽게 보낼 수가 없어
내게 왜 이러는 거야 정말 이래야 하는거니
그저 몇마디 말로 다 끝나버린 사랑은 아니잖아
다시 내게로 돌아와줘 너만 사랑할 수 있도록
지금 이대로 날 내버려둔다면 내맘 변할지도 몰라
my heart my dream 넌 벌써 나를 잊은지 몰라도
아직 나는 널 내곁에서 보낼 수가 없어
왜 날 떠나야만 했어 왜 니 마음이 변한거야
매일밤 나를 아프게 울려도 싫어 지질 않는데
다신 내게로 돌아와줘 제발 너무 늦지 않도록
내게로 돌아왔을때 그자리에 그땐 없을지도 몰라
다시내게로 돌아와줘 너만 바라볼 수 있도록
오랜 기다림에 지쳐 내사랑이 메마르지 않도록
다신 한번 너의 가슴에 안겨보고 싶어
사랑하고 싶어...

[NEWS] Mike He and Janine Chang Promote Sunny Happiness in Singapore cr: ockoala.wordpress.com
My current drama addiction Sunny Happiness has brought a wave of fresh air to the small screen. I think the drama even has a good influence on its two lead actors, as Janine Chang and Mike He went to Singapore last month in February to promote SH looking cheerful and well-rested.
They both look so energtic and gorgeous! Mike’s new haircut is for his currently filming drama Mei Li, Go with Cyndi Wang, and Janine is one of the many Taiwanese actresses who never changes her hairstyle for any project.
The Mike+Janine pairing doesn’t make me ship them in real life, because while they have great chemistry onscreen and get along as friends, they don’t exhibit any of the telltale signs that they are actually interested in each other outside of the requirements of a drama. But in real life they still look so perfect together. Swoon.
Next up for Mike (after he wraps Mei Le, Go) – he’s headed to South Africa to shoot a photo book, and he’s busy working out and promises to show off his physique in the pictorial. Reowr! Janine’s next drama Returning Home with Zai Zai apparently just wrapped principal filming, and I’m dying to watch it later this year.
While in Singapore, Mike and Janine gave an interview about their first time working together, and we get such gem revelations such as: everyone on set was aware that Janine’s maid’s uniform had a ridiculously short skirt, Janine watched all of Mike’s kissing scenes from his previous dramas courtesy of fans who compiled it all into one video online, Mike considers Janine his sunbae (senior) in the business, Janine threatened to bite off Mike’s tongue if he French kissed her, Janine thinks both Zai Zai and Mike are hard working character actors but she has more chemistry with Zai Zai because they’ve worked together three times now, and both of them really like this drama because it’s a big change from their previous images (Janine – cold and aloof, Mike – rebellious and goofy).

Try To Remember Lyrics: Tom Jones Sung : Brothers Four
Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh, so mellow. Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow. Try to remember the kind of September When you were a tender and callow fellow. Try to remember, and if you remember, Then follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender That no one wept except the willow. Try to remember when life was so tender That dreams were kept beside your pillow. Try to remember when life was so tender That love was an ember about to billow. Try to remember, and if you remember, Then follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember, Although you know the snow will follow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, Without a hurt the heart is hollow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, The fire of September that made us mellow. Deep in December, our hearts should remember And follow.
