My Review:
I watched this drama because I saw this in my friend's album and it was one of her favorite so I give it a try. And I'm also wondering what the title means.
It's not my typical genre of a drama, I'm more than in a Romantic Comedy but this one is more in heavy drama though I didn't cry, I feel sad for the main characters who suffered and there situations are really unfortunate. It's a bit slow while i'm watching I mean the story is slow but the cast really act well. And I'm sad with the ending though I know maybe it was the best for them.
I gave this 3 out of 5.

My Review:
At first I was hesitant to watch this, It looks like similar with The God Of Study which is also reaching your dreams of something like that and it didn't entertain me that much. So finally 2 days ago I decided to give it a try and I was so happy I watched it! :D The Story is about reaching your dream no matter what, it was really inspiring and it makes me wonder if what I really wanted to be and what path should I take. The casts are awesome, they really act well and I really like them! I love the 3 guys they are all handsome in there own way, teehee :3 And it's not boring, it actually gave me sleepless night cause I wanted to watch what's gonna happen on the next episode haha! It also has a cute lovestory, I love Jason & Pisuk they're so cute! :D The Soundtrack's are really ear catching, I actually download all and I am trying to learn the dance (trying hard). Overall, it's a must watch If you want to be inspired, enjoy, and entertain. No regrets to this.

Etude House: April Haul.

I had a visit at Etude House SM Fairview Branch awhile ago, and those are the stuff I got. I've been craving for the Miss Tangerine Collection since the day it was released but due to my busy schedule in school I wasn't able to visit them that time.

And since I purchased around 3600+ I had the 2NE1 CD, 2NE1 Calendar and the Sauna Kit for purchasing 2 products from Aqua Cure Line. :)












I will try to post a review about the products.
