... and that's all I know lol...
I actually watched this movie earlier this summer, but I figured I should write about it here =]
The fanfiction is Do Re Mi Fa So La S(T)i Do by Guiyeoni.
Guiyeoni is also the author of He Was Cool and Temptation of Wolves, which were both turned into movies as well.
Doremi is about a girl named JungWon.
One day while working at the amusement park, where she is dressed in a dragon suit, she is taunted by a group of teenagers. One of the teens, EunGyu, takes it a too far for Jungwon, and in her anger she pours soda all over him.
Shortly after this incident, Jungwon is surprised to find that the new next door neighbors is Eungyu's family! Eungyu doesn't know that Jungwon is really the evil dragon that he dislikes though xp
Jungwon sometimes sneaks out to hang out or do part-time work with her friends. One night, Eungyu sees her and threatens to tell on her. To keep his mouth shut, Jungwon agrees to carry Eungyu's guitar for one week. Eungyu is in a band called Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do.
During that week, Jungwon and Eungyu start developing feelings for each other and soon become a couple.
One day when Jungwon visits the band's practice room, she comes face to face with a blast from the past; her ex-best friend HeeWon! Jungwon and Heewon were very close friends in childhood, but a serious dilemma caused them to become estranged. She immediately runs out of the room crying her eyes out. She is surprised to find out that her estranged friend is actually now best friends with her boyfriend, and in the same band.
So, after some fighting, Heewon realizes that he doesn't really hate Jungwon, but actually loves her and wants her back. What's a girl to do when she's torn between her formerly estranged bff and newly found love?
In the fanfic, there are also some side stories:
Jungwon's little brother, JaeGwang has fallen in love with the noona, SoHyun, next door. Will Sohyun noona see Jaegwang as a man or just a nice dongsaeng? This is not really a side story.. it's actually like sub-plot. It is touched on a little bit in the movie.
Pupu the street cat, who was taken in by Jaegwang, sees things that no one else does. And has a great love for dear Jungwon. Pupu is such a cute cat xD reading his POV was soo hilarious! and also sad at some parts =[
Kkanda, the loyal best friend of Jaegwang. This side story is about how he became Jaegwang's friend. It also the story through his eyes.
Dummy Eungyu - this side story is also in the movie. I won't write about it because it gives away a big big big part xp
Now let's talk about the best part of the movie! (for me at least xD)
Jang GeunSuk!
Ah, he's so cute =3 ...
I really liked watching him in Hwang JinYi and so I was quite excited to
see he was Eungyu in the movie ^_^
He did a really good job~
but... actually, that wasn't the most exciting part for me...
The best part was...
Im JuHwan!
He played JaeGwang~!!!
I really REALLY like Im JuHwan!
Ever since I saw him in A Millionaire's First Love & The Snow Queen! He's totally cute *_*.
And I love how he played the
part of Jaegwang! Because Jaegwang is a really cute and sweet
character...probably even my favorite character. it's a shame Jaegwang did not have a big role in the movie
like he did in the fanfic~~ =[
OH AND.. he initially caught my eye because he reminded me so much of Keita Tachibana from jpop group w-inds. @_@
& I LOVE LOVE LOVE KEITA!
Last, but not least~~~ I shall talk about the OST
Or... just one song from the soundtrack xD
Just because it's my absolute favorite track from it =D
햇살 가득히 by 정준일
(Haessal Gadeukhi by Jeong Jun Il)
Haessal Gadeukhi means full of sunshine =]
Here are the translated lyrics courtesy of flyingcrispi
Today is another sunny day
Your smile fills up my day
Even if the day makes me worried
You can relax all of me right now
You’re the only one to relieve me of a day’s burdens
My love is always by my side
As long as you are there
I can do anything
Even if sometimes you are difficult
Even if you may get hurt
But I will never let go
I will be always by your side
The audio above is from the OST, but in the movie Jang GeunSuk actually sings it! ^o^
mm yeah.. it's a cute song xD
And I find it really catchy! ^o^~~
Comments
Waahh! I want to see this movie, but unfortunately I havent found a copy yet here in the Philippines (since most Korean movies are not shown here *sigh*). I love Jang Geun Suk! I've also watched Hwang JinYi, and I cried a lot when his character died. Teehee.
Anyway, I saw the trailer over the internet while rummaging through youtube. Gah, I really want to see him...I mean..this movie, haha!
Oh I know, it was very sad when he died in Hwang Jinyi T_T
Aw, that's too bad you haven't found it there in the Philippines.
I thought that Korean media would be easily accessible there... =/
Since I thought Korean entertainment was getting pretty big over there..
I guess that's not the case?
But i'm pretty sure it's available at crunchyroll, so you can watch it over there if you'd like ^o^
All we have here are pirated dvds! Haha! (Arghh! It's really embarassing!) But..it's better than nothing.
Yup! Totally Korean invasion! Haha! Hmm..Maybe I just didn't look harder..^^
And I thought it was so cool -_-;
