dear friends,

Gara² nonton Princess Hours, Rose jadi tergila² ama aktor yang satu ini. Pertama kali lihat, menurutku dia biasa² aja, tidak terlalu istimewa. Namun rupanya semakin dilihat, gue semakin lama merasa dia begitu menggemaskan. Duh pengen deh rasanya pelokin dia Peran dia di Princess Hours, begitu mempesona. Di episode² awal, dia begitu menyebalkan, namun di episode² terakhir, asli gue jadi terharu karena dia benar² jatuh cinta dengan istrinya sendiri. Jika dia berjalan, gue senang sekali lihatnya, ehh.. rupanya dia juga peragawan tenar di negeri ginseng sono. Pantes aja yaa jalannya begitu enak dipandang

Adikku bilang, dia gak ganteng² sekali. Tapi menurutku, dia tipe cowok yang simpatik. Rose suka sekali melihat gaya berbicaranya, terkesan cool banget. Soal body, sebenarnya juga bukan merupakan tipe paporitku, dia terkesan begitu kurus, kurang sexy, hehehe… Tapi ini bisa ditolerir, kan dia peragawan ya, tentu harus kurus Soal tampang, duhhh… gue betul² terpesona, pokoknya gue ikutan di parade deretan cewek² fans Joo Ji Hoon. Pengen banget ketemu dia, kalo sampe ketemu dia, sumpahhh… bakalan histeris dah Rose… Bakalan gue pelokin kuat² deh dia, hehehe…

Introduction:

Romantic relationships, political wars and the realization of what the heart truly wants.. these are the main themes of this drama, which is based on a mang-hwa (Korean manga), also by the same name, about a normal teenager and her life as she marries into the Korean Monarchy.

Storyline:

Chae Kyung (Yoon Eun Hye) is a high school student studying fashion design in one of Korea’s top high schools. Her wants in life are simple, having fun with her friends, eating tok-poki, a new MP3 player and everything else that teenagers her age are interested in. One thing sets her life apart from the rest though. Her schoolmate is non other than the Crown Prince to the present day Korean Monarchy, Lee Shin (Joo Ji Hun). She knows of his existence but he has never bothered to find out anything about anyone in the school, concerned only with his own group of friends and Hyo Rin, the one girl who has caught his eye.

This changes when she overhears his proposal to Hyo Rin as he is faced with the responsibility of getting married due to his father’s ailing health. Hyo Rin, a dedicated ballerina, rejects his proposal as she wants to concentrate on her career. Chae Kyung’s phone rings and Shin looks up, seeing that someone was outside the door. He chases after her in vain.

He meets her again as he sees her on the street from his car. Stopping, he warns her not to say anything, and her impression of him is nothing less than zero. She goes back, only to find out that her grandfather was the best friend of the previous King of Korea, and had arranged her marriage with the present Crown Prince!

Torn between her family and her dreams, she finally decides to marry into the monarchy so that she can save her family from their debts. She stays in the palace, guarded under strict rules and palace maids as tough as nails. However, she slowly starts to win the hearts of everyone due to her happy and warm personality, except for Shin that is..

Shin seems to see her as a clown, someone that he has to put up with because of responsibility. And although she does her best to improve her relationship with him, he is still besotted with Hyo Rin.

Lee Yul comes into the picture as Shin’s cousin, and the previous Crown Prince. He falls in love with Chae Kyung’s personality, and starts to harbour envious feelings to Shin as he feels that Shin doesn’t deserve her. He is also aware of the fact that if his own father had not passed away, HE would have been Chae Kyung’s husband. It is because of this that he assists his mother in the attempts to bring Shin down and reinstate himself as the future King of Korea.

Yul’s mother also uses Hyo Rin as an instrument to reach her goals, as she knows that Hyo Rin is also in love with Shin. She convinces her to come open to the media about her relationship with Shin, which blackens him further in the eyes of the public and in the heart of Chae Kyung, who has already fallen head over heels for her husband. Her heart shatters as Shin’s words and attitude stabs her, and slowly mends as Yul applies balm and soothing words. Will this change the direction in which her heart goes? Will she and Shin realize what their hearts really want?

Save the Last Dance for Me follows the story of Ji Eun-Soo (played by popstar Eugene Kim or Kim Yoo Jin formerly of popular Kpop group S.E.S.) who lives a very simple life managing the quaint country bed and breakfast inn with her father. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she grudgingly takes in Chang-ho (Ji Sung) whom she saved after being fatally injured during a robbery and has no recollection of who he is. Over the course of the year, they fall in love and become engaged.

Meanwhile Chang-ho is actually Kang Hyun woo, the son of large corporation in Seoul and has a fiancee who has been waiting for him to profess his love for her for 9 years. It was believed he had died in a fiery car crash as all his personal belongings were found with the charred remains of a body. His tutor and confidante, Jung Tae min, has been plotting revenge to get back at Hyun woo’s father whom he holds responsible for causing his parents to commit suicide 20 years ago. Having Hyun woo out of the picture makes his plans run smoothly until Tae-min accidentally meets Chang-ho face to face and realizes that Hyun woo is still alive.

Things take another turn for the unexpected when Hyun woo regains his memory up to the point when he was robbed and has no recollection of where he was for the past year.

It is interesting to note that while all this drama is taking place, the constantly begged question throughout was; “How long would you wait for your love to come?” In the case of Soo Jin, Hyun-woo’s fiancee, while she loves him and has been in love with him for 9 years, he still has not been able to reciprocate her affection for her. He goes through the motions simply because he’s grateful. Yet, while he can’t remember who Eun-soo is to him, he’s magnetically drawn to her.

And so follows the thought, ” … at what point does one let go of their love?” Eun-soo is conflicted by her feelings for Chang-ho, who is now Hyun woo while Soo Jin tries everything in her power to prevent Hyun woo from regaining the memory of his missing year.
