Indemnity Form

Movie Session

Hello everyone! Hope you guys are coping well with your revisions and rushing to meet your project deadlines! Feeling stressed out? Don’t be! It’s time to take an hour or two off to relax. For instance, you can catch a movie! And that will bring us to the purpose of this blog post today: COMEDY MOVIES RECOMMENDATION!

One of the most recent comedy movies would be SpellBound!

 

The main leads are Son Yejin and Lee Min Ki (yes that hot actor that appeared for a while in the k-drama, Shut Up! Flower Boy Band). This movie is about Yeo-ri (Son Yejin) who has the ability to see ghosts, and when they do appear, unexpected things occur to the people around her. Jogoo (Lee Min Ki) acts as a street magician in the movie and he offers Yeo-ri a job in his show – act as a ghost in a closet. Yeo-ri is sort of a loner in the movie and Jogoo’s attempts in approaching her are really entertaining as funny things happen to them in the process. This movie mixed the genres (comedy, horror & romance) really well, do give it a try and laugh off all your stress!

Speedy Scandal is also another heartwarming yet hilarious movie you shouldn’t miss!

 

How can you not watch Cha Tae Hyun’s works? His acting is brilliant and this movie is not an exception! In Speedy Scandal, Cha Tae Hyun acts as a wealthy bachelor who suddenly became a father and a grandfather when a young lady named Jeong-nam Hwang (Bo-yeong Park) appears at his doorstep with her son Ki Dong. Jeong-nam threatens to go to the media so he is left with no choice but to allow the young lady and her son to stay in his apartment. Complications arise when they are spotted outside together and people assume they are romantically involved!

If you still remember, one of Cha Tae Hyun’s works is Hello Ghost. We screened it during one of the KCC sessions! If you enjoyed Hello Ghost, why not give this movie a try?

There is a lot of amazing movies nowadays but I’m just going to recommend this two for now!

It’s quite obvious what we’re going to do for the next session now. So, if you were too tired from your projects and want to take a break, yes, it’ll be all about Korean movies!

So, do come and enjoy the movie with us! 

Korean Cultural Club Session

Korean Horror!

친구야 안녕!!

I'm sure most of you are very busy with your school assignments and your revising by now! (Been there, done that!) I know exams are important, but don't stress yourselves. Let's relax at times, shall we? Have a cup of tea or watch movies to calm your senses.

As you guys know, there is NO KCC session next week. However, it doesn't hinder you to have a good time! Here is some KOREAN HORROR/THRILLER MOVIES recommendations for you if you decide to take a break from studying and have a good (cough) *creepy* time. So, let's see..

1. The Cat

Remember our lovely Park Min Young (Sungkyunkwan Scandal, City Hunter, Time Slip Dr. Jin)? Yes, she is starring in this movie as So-Yeon, a girl who works at a pet shop where she has to adopt a cat whose owner died in a mysterious accident. And from then on, the nightmare will begin... 

So, boys and girls, if you like cats, you SHOULD watch this movie! It may change your perception about this "lovely" creature. *evil grin*

2. I Saw the Devil

This movie is totally for those who are into some actions, blood and gruesome images! The protagonist of the movie is Lee Byung Hun (Iris, G.I Joe), Korea's top actor. Here, he acts as a secret agent (again) who tracks down a serial rapist/murderer who mutilated his fiancée. While this movie has earned a lot of movie awards and nominations, I don't recommend those with weak hearts to watch this! Honestly, the story line is pretty disturbing although the actors/actresses have amazing acting!

3. The Case of Itaewon Homicide

Finally a movie based on true story! It's South-Korea's most famous cold-case file where two American teenagers are suspected to kill a Korean college student. It's referred as random "American Gang Style" killing. Both of the suspects were later released in 1999. 10 years after the murder, the case was reopened. Upon the renewed interest of the case, a blockbuster called The Case of Itaewon Homicide was released starring Jang Geun Seok and Shin Seung Hwan as Arthur Patterson and Edward Lee respectively. In this movie, Jang Geun Seok will speak in English and it will totally put him in different light from his usual cold-but-kind roles.

So guys, have fun watching and don't forget study, okay?

See you in the next KCC session!

Cheers,

Putie

Korean Cartoon

Hello ladies and gentlemen!


This week entry is an exceptional one!
Why? It's because one of our newly established probation committee members is the author of it!
But, we are not gonna reveal any name just yet, be sure to come to next week session to know more about them. :)
So, sit back and enjoy!

Hey guys! So this time, let’s talk about Korean cartoon! Okay to get things started, who knows about Korean games? Yes, darlings. They include the classic StarCraft and Maplestory (maybe a little to classic). While we all know that Korean video games are very (insanely) successful, do you know that… The Simpsons, Family Guy and Justice League Ultimate were completely drawn and produced in South Korea?! 


So if you’re in the animation works, maybe one day you’ll be working in a Korean firm and producing all these amazing animations! Notable mentions from the music section will be 2NE1 and B.A.P. From 2NE1, the music video for their song Hate You was completely animated.

Watch here if you haven't heard it!

Whereas B.A.P has a comic/manga series out since their debut, with the animated cartoon supporting it’s promotions for their latest dong Goodbye

But maybe the most popular one remains as Pororo the Little Penguin! 

 
AWWWWWW because it's Korean it out-cutes Hello Kitty okay.

Remember y'all!!

-Have enough sleep (Lack of sleep may cause you losing your concentration)
-Take a break when you feel stressed out. (Sing some happy songs or eat something sweet)
-Take the hints your lecturers give you seriously. (I'm serious when I say 'seriously')

Well, I'm sure you guys know what works best for you.
So, I wish you all the best for the upcoming common test!
Study hard and keep rocking!

Oops, almost forgot. Keep close watch to our updates because we will announce the date for Probation Recruitment Drive soon. Real soon.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello babes and hunks!

Today is the second Sunday of May, which means it is Mother's Day!
So, guys, appreciate your mums by giving them a hug or a kiss on their cheeks, will you?

We'll not be having any session this week.
Don't be discouraged though, because KCC session will be resumed on 21st May 2012!

For those who came to our KCC One-Day Bonding camp on Saturday, thanks a lot for participating. I hope you guys had a lot of fun! However, don't be satisfied with just that! You've only got a bite of fun compared to the upcoming events we'll be having next! So, stay alert and always check for new updates!

Anyway, there'll be more information to be released for ALL of you who are interested to join our committee! So, keep your ears and eyes open!

And if you guys are craving for K-drama, but do not know whether you'll be just wasting time watching before dropping it, I'll give you some quick updates about what's hot and what's not!

1. Rooftop Prince
A total MUST-WATCH! Funny, smart, touching and at the same time, unique! Awesome actors ( Yoochunnie for instance! >.< ). Original plot that's pretty much unlike the typical Korean dramas. It's simply DAEBAK! Well, shall not reveal any spoiler.

2. Love Rain
Jang Geun Suk is back, now with Yoona from SNSD! So, fan girls and fan boys, be prepared to see a new side of your idols!
Disclaimer: May bore you to tears in the first few episodes. However, it'll get more exciting as time goes by. Be patient ;)

3.Fashion King
Interested in fashion? This is a perfect drama for you! With a hint of romance and comedy, this drama is refreshing and fun!

4. King 2 Hearts
Ha Ji Won, our strong and yet cute girl! (Check out her other dramas! Eg: Secret Garden, Hwang Jini) and Lee Seung Gi as the protagonists in a drama? I think that's enough to add this drama into your watch list!

So, yeah guys, enjoy them when you have time and share what you think afterwards! You may comment on this post if you want to add more hot dramas!

Will see you guys soon!
Hugs and kisses!
