Music Cover: Adele - Someone Like You (by Daeho)
I never have been a fan of Adele nor will I ever be a fan of hers, but when I stumbled upon this cover I was amazed! Daeho has a wonderful voice, his other covers are really good as well but I love this one the most. Be sure to check it out, I bet you will be hooked on it too!

POLYVORE INSPIRATION | What Destiny Calls You
"I'm already crazy. I'm a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don't think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that's my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything.”
― Lady Gaga

POLYVORE INSPIRATION | The Downtown Girl

Drama of the week - 49 days
Every now and then I love to watch lovey-dovey korean dramas full of stereotyped role allocations starring beautiful women and even more handsome men. Moreover I already recognise some words and sentences also when I study Korean only for a weeks now.
Anyways, let's have a quick look on my current watchlist ~
I read so many good reviews about this drama, so I was really excited to finally start watching it. I know, I know, it aired in spring but I always tend to watch them a weeks, or in this case a few months, after the last episode aired.
The story is pretty simple. Shin Ji Hyeon who soon should get married gets into a car accident and ends up in hospital, brain dead. Because she wasn't fated to die the Scheduler offers her a chance to continue her life. In the body of Song I Gyeong she has to find three people who truly love her and collect their tears. However her family members don't count and Ji Hyeon has to fulfil the job within 49 days - otherwise she will die.
Jeong Il U (정일우,24) isn't a newbie nevertheless I never saw his acting before. He is quite handsome, hands down, and a good singer but he isn't my favourite actor in this drama because he still lacks a lot in terms of skills. I don't say his acting is bad, it actually becomes better during the drama but compared to the other actors he still has a long way to go. I'm more happy to see Choe Jeong U (최정우,53) again, he is on my personal top list of korean actors. In my opinion his skills are fantastic no matter whether he plays the villain or a loving father. Unfortunately I never saw him havin the main role.
Nam Gyu Ri (남규리,26) is quite okay, her acting is good but average. She is really beautiful though, but I never really found out whether she does wear circle lenses or not because she has this dolly look. I like her character and symphatised a lot, furthermore her acting isn't as annoying as Seo Ji Hye's (서지혜,27).
With Lee Yo Won (이요원,31) and Jo Hyeon Jae (조현재, 31) this drama has more experienced main actors so I hope they benefit the whole drama.
Lee Yo Won really pissed me off at the beginning, I just wanted to grab her shoulders and shake her. But I had to realise it is just her role she has to play. Her acting skills are flawless, she could switch between the roles so easily.
My thoughts on Jo Hyeon Jae? I fell head over heels for him. His role is by far the best main male role I ever saw, his character actually is the only one who thinks logically and never gives up. And he is so handsome...
Next have a look on Bae Su Bin (배수빈,34). Perhaps I am one of the few people who don't hate him. Yes, his role Gang Min Ho is the baddest bad boy, the most cold-hearted, calculating and manipulating villain ever, BUT during all the time I thought he has to have a soft heart under his really hard shell right? And he has. I love Bae Su Bin's acting a lot and I think I will watch some dramas with him in future.
My thoughts on the story? I actually haven't seen anything like this before, it is unique, the idea is pretty interesting and I am curious how everything will develop. But I guess the ending will be plain ordinary right?
ATTENTION SPOILER!! --> after I watched the drama: Hell, why? Why does Ji Hyeon has to die? I never cried so much, someone wrote this drama has to have the name "1 million litre of tears" and yes, I can only agree. As you can tell by my presumption I thought this drama would be just another heartbreaking drama with a happy end and after I watched the first episode I was pretty sure what will happen in the last episode. But there is no happy ending. Ji Hyeon dies. Not because she can't get 3 tears, she gets them, but because her time ends 6 days after she woke up again. When she told I Gyeong she will die soon I didn't wanted to watch any further. I wanted Ji Hyeon and Gang to be happy together, forever. But this ending won't happen in this drama but only in my imagination.
However the ending doesn't annoy me, instead the drama shows everyone to live their life to the fullest, to be thankful and accomplish what they desire.
This drama is full of grown up characters which change during the drama a lot. Ji Hyeon is at first immature and without worries but then she becomes more mature and you fall in love with her. I Gyeong realises to not take her life for granted.
You find a few nice love stories as well, but they aren't as silly and full of clichés as other romantic stories but mature and somehow also depressing. The characters don't brag about the fact they aren't loved back, instead they understand it and know how to deal with it, like adults.
Furthermore I like how this drama deals with topics like friendship, death and love, "all that glitters is not gold" describes it the best.
Another important aspect: the soundthttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrack. I love music and for me a good drama needs an even better soundtrack. The soundtrack is pretty good. Jeong Il U has a nice voice, Navi demonstrates again that she is a talented singer and Seo Yeong Eun's Can't let go (of you) is a stunning lovely song. But my favourite is Park Bo Ram's Forever (Always). Yes, the lyrics are heartbreaking, but doesn't it fit the whole drama?
All in all I think when you love korean dramas you will enjoy watching this. But it's not a must-watch (does this word even exist?). However, I probably will devour the other episodes ~
--> Not a must-watch? Dammit, WATCH IT!! GOOOOOOOO!! I guess after the third or fourth episode it was already one of my favourite dramas. The story is great, the characters amazing, the actors fantastic, the whole drama is perfect. I will definitely watch it again during winter!
Final rating:
★★★★★ & Favourit

POLYVORE INSPIRATION | I Deserved To Grow.. And To Change...
“The truth was I knew, after all those flat January days, that I deserved better. I deserved I love yous and kiwi fruits and warriors coming to my door, besotted with love. I deserved pictures of my face in a thousand expressions, and the warmth of a baby's kick beneath my hand. I deserved to grow, and to change, to become all the girls I could be over the course of my life, each one better than the last.”

My new experiment idea
(Source: google)
It's been a while since my last post and today I won't talk about make up or beauty related things. Instead, I will do post more about one of my other passions in the future.
But prior to that, who of you knows the movie "Julie & Julia"? One evening some time ago me and my friend had a little cooking session and afterwards we enjoyed watching the said movie which deals with two women whom lifes are interwined through cooking. While living in Paris in the fifties Julia Child tried to find herself with the help of cooking and soon she writes a cooking book with two french friends. 50 years later the unemployed Julie Powell decides to cook herself through Julia's book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and shares her experiences on her blog. The whole story is based on a true story (or two).
So what does this has to do with me? I always loved to cook and bake, perhaps because my Pap was a pastry cook and used to bake a lot when I was little. Besides there should be no harm with cooking and baking a little bit right? It's not that I am bored, I actually have enough to do with university and youtube, however this movie inspired me a lot.
Since I don't have a boyfriend/husband/guinea pig I don't know how many recipes I will do per week... so you have to take pot luck. ;)
Concerning the recipes... I will mix everything. First of all I always wanted to try to cook Bulgogi (불고기), not only because I freakin love it to hell and back, but also because I study Korean (so it would be nice to know a few korean recipes right?). Furthermore I found some nice italien recipes, french, american, belgian etc. etc.
Now put up and shut up -- there isn't a single cooking book which I find interesting enough to cook myself through it, so instead I will look for country-specific recipes. Having around 200 countries makes around 400 home cooking & baking recipes right? I can't wait to start this experiment.
