Orange Marmalade Chapter 46

Like one of the commenter’s comment – the pale-haired vampire dude isn’t Jae Min’s rival for Ma Ri’s love, rather, the vampire dude is Ma Ri’s “competition” for Jae Min.

Interesting twist of plot, I would say. But seriously speaking, I think what’s actually happening is that Si Hoo (the vampire dude) is attracted to Jae Min’s blood which seems to have “tasty” scent. If you recall from the beginning of the story, Ma Ri herself was also attracted to the scent to the point of biting his neck when she was not able to control her urge.

Anyways, this series is getting even more interesting with the appearance of this male vampire. I wonder, will Jae Min get himself bitten by this vampire dude? Even better if Ma Ri comes to his rescue

Some random image from Reborn chapter 367. Don’t they make a nice trio (that is, if you include the cute tiny little monkey-like creature on top of Fong’s head)?

Note: I do not own the image above.

Orange Marmalade Chapter 43

Behold, Jae Min’s rival in love…

Darn. Just when his relationship with Ma Ri begin to improve. I guess Jae Min will have to “battle” it out with Ma Ri’s betrothed, Si Hoo.

The drama doesn’t seem to end, eh? Lets not forget that Jae Min does not have a clue of Ma Ri being a blood-sucking vampire who finds his blood “tasty” just by his scent. There’s no guessing who will Ma Ri end up with who but I can’t help but wonder how would he react to the truth.

***

Orange Marmalade is probably the second web comic that I have read (the first being Cheese in the Trap but that’s another story for another time). Yet another vampire comic, I know but I can’t help being “sucked” into the story further and further.

Am looking forward to the drama that will ensue with the appearance of Ma Ri’s future husband.

Paradise Kiss Movie

Yukari’s path is pretty much set already since the cold winter when she disappointed her mom when she failed her kindergarten entrance exam (seriously?!) – to ace the exams and earn a spot in a top college. With that in mind, all this girl does is study, study, and study.

Her routine came to an end the moment she was “scouted” or rather, kidnapped by a group of eccentric-looking art students. Apparently she has just the perfect body to model their clothes for their final year fashion show. As a student, she has to study for the upcoming entrance exam and has no time to spare for all that crap, she arrogantly told them off. If she thinks that it all ends there, she’s wrong.

After much persuasion from the eccentric lot, she gave in and fell for the “temptation”. Being an inexperienced first-timer, she made quite a blunder but with George’s encouragement, she made it through her first job as a model (part-time) and found herself enjoying every bit of it.

She went on to become one of the most sough-after model with George by her side as her lover.

If you have read the original manga in which this movie is based on, you would know that Yukari and George did not end up with each other. She married her high school crush, Tokumori. If you like some fans had preferred that she get together with George, by all means please do watch this movie adaptation of Ai Yazawa’s ParaKiss.

Reborn Chapter 354 – Byakuran is back

Byakuran and the 6 funeral wreaths are making a comeback in the present time. Cool.

Kuroshitsuji Chapter 61

My first reaction when saw this scene was “what the heck, not again!”. Seriously, how many times does Sebastian has to be killed and revived again. Looks like we’re going to see Sebastian’s life record in the next chapter.

Upcoming K-Drama: Poseidon

nightfox — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 08:25:11 +0000

Judging from the title, my guess is that this drama would revolve around the sea and I was half-right. Poseidon here isn’t the name of a ship but rather, it’s referring to this so-called special sea attack team (something similar to the marines/Navy?).

From DramaWiki:

Kim Sun Woo, who spent his school days as a troublemaker, decides to make a change in his life and joins the sea special attack team, which is called Poseidon. Sun Woo works as a promising commando, but he unexpectedly becomes entangled in an unsavory incident after 2 years. He is demoted and is sent to a maritime police office in Gunsan city. Sun Woo’s passion cools down and he slowly loses his vision as a maritime policeman. Then one day, Jung Ryul, who has formed a new crime investigation section in Incheon city, visits Sun Woo and asks him to join the team…

Seems to me, it’s going towards the investigative direction and it does sound interesting. It’s nice to take a breather after Heartstrings.

For Super Junior fans, this is definitely a plus – Choi Si Won is one of the leading actor here.

D.Gray-man Chapter 207 – Kanda Yuu is back

nightfox — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 05:14:53 +0000

I seriously thought that he’s gone for real. Being free, meaning that he’s free from Mugen? Hmm…let’s just wait for the next chapter.

Blood C – Watanuki?

nightfox — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 06:10:36 +0000

Could this dog be Watanuki from xxxHolic? It did mention that it owns a shop that grants people’s wishes and plus, the voice actor is none other than Fukuyama Jun who voices Watanuki as well. There’s too much of a coincidence and lets not forget that Blood C is CLAMP’s interpretation of Blood+. Whether the dog is Watanuki for real, lets continue watching this till the end.

Heartstrings – the final episode

nightfox — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 13:01:50 +0000

I was pretty much devastated when Lee Shin and Gyu Won broke up but of course, this being a drama, it is obvious that one way or another, these two are bound to be together at the end. Ah, it feels good to see that “Shin Woo” gets his girl this time around

On another note, I was expecting love triangle between the two and the director. Fortunately it did not turn out that way. The director did however, found his happy ending with his long-time love, the professor who left him few years back to pursue her career as a professional ballet dancer. They surely belong to each other seeing as they finally tied the knot after many years of painful separation.

It’s an all well that ends well, don’t you think so?
