I can't wear a mask, I'll suffocate.

I mean a real mask, those you see doctors or nurses wear in hospital as part of their protective gear. Whenever I have to don one, I feel really uncomfortable. If I am doing rounds in the ward and have to wear one, it's usually okay because I can get my ECG done in less than 5mins. But today there is this Bird Flu Preparedness Exercise in my hospital and I will have to put on the mask for the whole day.

Great. :( I am like trying to pace my breathing because I'm scare I may hypervent in the mask. I just don't like the mask alright. daikirai desu! Enclosed area worries me a little. Hope this exercise ends at one.

I'm like super high yet super tired physcially now cause I didn't sleep a wink last night. You don't have to ask and you will know it is because I was up watching vcds. Well, the show became relatively interesting so I just continue watching till it was time to work. Hahah. This show is a Korean drama(to all who snub korean drama, some are really nice okay. don't be so biased because of winter sonata can?lol) about a squabbling couple. Sounds like Full House? It's a little little bit like Full House but I still reserve my opinion that the two are on different wavelength and thus shouldnt be compared.

Both are very nice though. I realised that these kind of korean dramas are really very sweet from the way the script was written. Are koreans helpless romantics? Judging from their dramas and romance movies, I think koreans maybe can make good lovers. Hahah. Chuhan will agree with me right? =p But anyway, just gonna run through a few productions to get my point across.

Remember the korean blockblaster My Sassy Girl? It was like such a big hit and it made people outside Korea to start noticing korean productions. The storyline was bittersweet and there were many little things in the movie that touch the hearts of many. I think most can remember the boyfriend telling the girlfriend's suitor ten things about her that he should know. It was kind of heart-wrenching I presume many will shed a tear at this scene. Or maybe you will remember the taiwan teen flick MVP Lover ripping this scene and putting it as one of their tearjerker scene. When somebody takes your idea and rip it, I think it really shows that you have done a good job. And did you know? My Sassy Girl story was based on the director's true love story! See! Even their director had such a ke4 gu2 ming2 xin1 love story to boast about. Hahas.

Full House! Need I say more need I say more? Check the previous entry about my review on the show. (:

This current drama I'm watching is called Sassy Girl, Chun-Hyang. The main difference between this and full house is that the girl is the more domineering and demanding character in this show, thus the name Sassy girl. And even though this show doesnt have the extravagant romantic senarios like those ice-skating scenes in Full House, but they made it up with little little things that tugs at your heart. I particularly love this scene when the guy sat silently behind the girl on a bus. While she was dozing off and her head was going to hit against the window, he lovingly used his hands as a cushion for her until she woke up and alighted. How sweet is that you tell me!

It's really interesting, to see what romantic ideas the scriptwriter/director had while filming this show. Small gestures like the one on the bus really brings a smile across my face. I like how the guy always tried to make it up to the girl whenever she got angry. Or how he whined and threw a temper when both of them couldn't spend time alone in the house.. ahhhh, very sweet lah the show. (:

But if you were to really compare the exterior factors like supporting cast and soundtrack, Full House wins hands down. The soundtrack of Sassy Girl Chun-Hyang doesn't impact you too much simply because there are many songs been played throughout the show and it's really hard to have a deep impression of any. I felt that they played the songs at inappropriate times and thus fail to allow the audience to feel much for the music. Unlike Full House, songs like Lee Bo Ram's I Will Thank You can easily reminds people of the ice-skating scenes in the show. You may think that in a drama, music has a lesser part to play, but to me, music has a critical part to play in a show. Good music at the correct time stimulates the feelings you want the audience to have at that scene and it brings people closer to the whole plot of the story, thus making audience able to relate to the show.

The supporting cast of full house also won hands down. I believe many will rave about Hyun-Na being very fashionable and Min-Hyuk being very dashing.Whereas in Sassy Girl Chun-Hyang, the two supporting actress and actor were evil in the show, hence leaving a very bad impression behind. They didn't really help to make the screen very pretty either. But a note to take, the female lead and male lead in Sassy Girl Chun-Hyang are very impressive though. The guy is quite cute, hahah.

I haven't finish watching this show yet, so my review aint complete. I still find Full House the most complete Korean Drama I have ever watch. But if anyone of you wants to borrow Sassy Girl Chun-Hyang, drop a tag and let me know! (:

The mask is killing me, arghhh.
