Scratch POP: Proposal Daisakusen vs. Operation Proposal

Hellujah... Chance!!!

Remember the smash hit J-Durama series Proposal Daisakusen in 2007???
If you don't or if you have not seen it yet, I am telling you... you missing an f***ing half of your life...
I mean, atleast for me, it is maybe one of the most well-made Asian series of all time... even better than Meteor Garden by a clear mile...
With its perfect mix of romance-fantasy-comedy and relate-ability, what's not to like???


Anyways, wonderin' why am I blabbing and promoting this series after almost half a decade???
Hmmmm... I just found out that Korea is having a remake of this uber-fave series...
Well, well, well... skeptically, I was not so sure if the the Korean remake will stand up to my expectations. I mean... it was sky high, so a tough call. But.. nevertheless, curious enough, I search the K-series online and found this credible YouTube channel (itzmethatzkie) that uploads this series with very readable and lexical english sub... good for me...
And, to my surprise, I actually liked it (a lot)... maybe because they have the same plot or what... I dunno? but I definitely liked it...

Then, I asked myself... which of the two I liked better??? Well, because I am a detail maniac, I have to weigh things through different lights and angles...
Disclaimer: The following thoughts are exclusively mine and mine alone. Whateva similarities represented from others maybe purely coincidental or just a result om wide depicted imagination. wooohoooo 

Story: Proposal Daisakusen has a more fast-paced story... more of like direct to the point. Most of the episode focuses only to Ken and Rei (the main protagonist and antagonist). On the other hand, operation Proposal's pacing is slower, more of like taking their time. Although its main gist is still the second-chance love story of Kang Bae Ho and Ham Yi Seul (Ken and Rei's Korean counterpart, respectively), it is more like a baseball-ish story... the sports which most of the characters are connected to.

Casts: This would be quick... Kang Bae Ho is so much cuter than Ken. Rei is way prettier than Ham Yi Seul... I liked Tsuru and Erin in the Japanese version in more ways than one compared to their Korean versions... and... I liked the Korean's version of other male friend... <period>

Chant: I like saying " Hallelujah Chance (with the hand movement)... Wahhhhhh!!!" so much more more more... than "Renovatio, renovatio, renovatio!" Whatyathink???

Well... that's all I think of....for now... atleast....

The Operation Proposal is not finished yet... but I'm closely monitoring it... If you want to experience it too, watch the first episode below... and you'll surely get hooked... no doubt...

And... and... and...if you happen to be a close friend of mine and if you want to see the Japanese series-Proposal Daisakusen (very soon: as recommended) kindly approach me and I would gladly give you a copy...

Renovatio... Renovatio... Renovatio...

Caption This: With Me. It's more fun in the Philippines

"Tara na..."

DOT just launched our country's new tourism slogan "It's more fun in the Philippines" and with just the blink of an eye (or eyes, kung plural...) a momentous craze hit the internet world.

Fun-filled and amazing photos popped like mushrooms in an old oak tree graced the net. Ofcourse, as a self-proclaimed popularist (also with the influence of A-my blogging guru), I would not miss this chance to include myself in this virtual commotion.

Have I mentioned I'm not good in photo editing??? Well, maybe not.... With this self-shortage, I asked A to do editing for me... And, because she believed that she is an obedient friend (which non of us (her friends) agreed, by far), she indifferently obliged.

Surprise, surprise, surprise for me... I just realized that last year was a busy year for me. Maybe I was just living out a dream to atleast explore Philippines' finest because I was on vacation on every slim chance I got. Good for me, bad for my savings account... wahahahhaha...

Without anymore superficializing (watta word...) this post... here's my little contribution... hopialykit...

Remember my Vhegan-Lawag-Paggodfood adventure???

How about our hoax-end-of-the-world Pinatubo March???

Who can forget my (still unfinished) investigative blog-series in Baguio?

And just recently... my Yadu-experience...

I really, really think it's fun in the Philippines... but with me around, it's definitely seven-folds funnier... agree???

"...Biyahe tayo."

pre-Movie Bullet: Unofficially Yours

"How can I..."

Wahhhhh... It has been a very long time since my last post...

To my countful-not-so-avid-followers: "I'am Sorry..NOh"

It is just that I'm so caught up with work(online and offline) and stuffs that my treasure box of English vocabularies actually run out... can you imagine???

I was not planning to post a blog yet but this one is so-much worth it that I have to go wake out from my long hibernation in blogging...

It is the new movie offering of Star Cinema for the apocalyptic year 2012... Am not so sure when it will be out in cinemas yet but still this is so exciting...

Unofficially Yours stars two of the most sought after artists of their generation.. no other than... John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin...

Fresh from their first-ever-successful TV team up in Imortal, seems like their fans can't get enough of them that the management actually worked out a movie for them (good for us)...

It is a friends-with-benefit-ish or no-strings-attached-ish kind of plot (which is a non-typical for conservative Filipinos, btw)  but knowing Direk Cathy Garcia-Molina (close???), I know this is super likable...

I super can't wait...

Watch the trailer after you scream your lungs out...

"...Live with out you"
