Winter Sonata Anime

this is actually already made few years back

but i just pay more attention to it last week,

i didn't realize how cute and adorable the picture of the anime

after i really look at it picture by picture

the wellknown and popular Korean drama "Winter Sonata"

was made into anime by japanese ...

and it did involve the real Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo

as the main actor at the original korean drama in Winter Sonata

these are some of the pictures 

taken from various blogspot and website of BYJ fans, anime fans, and some other sources .. 

i am sorry i couldn't put up the exact resources of these pictures, 

since i didn't wrote them down when i downloaded them ... 

all of these anime pictures were pretty much similar likes the real scenes of Winter Sonata

there is another one picture i like but 
unfortunately it didn't resembles the real Jung Sang and Yu Jin character (BYJ and CJW characters),
the one that i made profile pictures in my facebook

DVD "documentary of April Snow"

I have bought this DVD of "Documentary of April Snow" a few days ago ...
but I don't want to watch it yet ....

Now after I watch the movie,
I play the DVD ...

Many thing I always love about BYJis also shooted at this DVD ....
His serious attitude toward each and every moments in this work ...
His very much perfectionist attitude ...
He never stopped until he get 1 scene perfectly right ...
His warm reactions when he sees his many fans watching him
Notice how he always give his time to look at his fans even from the far ,,
just to show his fans that he really appreciate what his fans do ...
and I bet the fans feel being appreciated and feel his warmth as well ....

I come to think that why in Taiwan n Korea itself this Movie don't get the expected crowds ...
I think it's becoz this movie is different than others ...
The story is rather complicated yet it was done very natural way ....
We can't just open our eyes to watch this movie,but we have to think deep as well ...
and there are probably lots of people who don't usually like to do that
when watching movies ...

Some people like watching movies that just showed easily what is in the story ...

APRIL SNOW -- Bae Yong Joon

"April Snow" Bae Yong Joon
October 8th, 14.45
Surya theater, Mangga 2 Square.

Sepulang nonton April Snow di Mangga 2 Square sore ini,
aaaahhhhh .... the movie is soo beautifully done ...
Dibawah sutradara Hur Jin Hoo,,, sutradara yang terkenal unik ...
ternyata April Snow have TOP Quality ...
Buat gw, April Snow gak hanya mengandalkan 2 pemain utama:Bae YOng Joon and Son Ye Jin ....2 celeb yang udah terkenal ....

tapi memang cerita dan garapan si Director/sutradara sangat outstanding n special...
April Snow was done with soo much details ,,, soo much delicacies ..
Gak banyak dialogue yang terjadi ...
very minim conversation from all cast ...
but you can just look at their face,,,
look at their expressions ...
Their move and face tell you everything ...
Pokoknya di film ini, kita bener-bener harus mikir dan menggunakan logika kita secara baik dan teliti ...
sebagai penonton, kita musti perhatiin detil yang ada,
karena detil inilah yang akan menceritakan kita --
alur dan time flow dari jalannya cerita ini ...

Director (sutradara) bener2 patut diacungin jempol deh ...
Gak pernah terpikir kalo dia memberitahukan ttg waktu kejadian
dari hal-hal paling kecil ...
Gimana dia buat suasana Real Concert masuk ke dalam movie ...
He is Genious ...

Bae Yong Joon juga being always perfectionist,
he can potray each and every single scenes perfectly ...
Gak perlu keluar airmata,
tapi bisa terlihat bagaimanaBYJ memerankan In Soo yang menangis dari hatinya ...
Sigghs ... Such a Beautiful Movie ...

Son Ye Jin sebagai Seo Young juga gak kalah bagusnya,
dia mampu mengexpresikan setiap kegiatan Seo Yong dengan bagus banget ..

Film ini Natural banget ...
semua berjalan secara normal and natural ...
gak seperti dibuat-buat ....
costume and make up very minim,
yet it convey the message very well ...

What I hate watching is that the 2 Most Beautiful Moments were being cut off ...
Cencorship oh cencorship ...
hopefully the second time I watch it in Singapore will have no cencor ...
One other thing that bugs me is the subtitles don't match perfectly ...
so I am hoping with the English subtitle will be more clear .....

I hope plan on watching and going to Singapore will be smooth next week ...
I can hardly wait ...

April Snow in Indonesia

wah, seneng banget ....
ternyata April Snow maen juga di Indo .....
even a tad earlier than premiere in Singapore or Malaysia ....
ternyata ada juga Indo company yang beli film ini ...
moga-moga juga dapet atensi yang bagus dari public ..

actually happy ....
very happy .........

cuman sayang nya kok gak ada promosi at all ....
banyak orang gak tau donk jadinya

BYJ Indonesian Family Gathering First Anniversary
Caza Suki Restaurant, Mahakam, Blok M,
Jakarta August 28, 2005 ; 12.00 - 16.00 WIB

Looking at the atmosphere of the place --- surrounded with lots of oppa's big posters ... place looks formal but still nice and warm -- seem like BYJ presence .... ..... Also at the big screen, playing repetitively the trailer of the April Snow ... the song is trully nice one, it slow sad song. Hope "April Snow" will be a success all over Asia.
Siggh, just looking at oppa at the big screen, makes me feel that I miss him soo. It's certainly been a while watching oppa.

Lots of good food, barbeque meat, delicious kinda kimchi soup, lots of little snacks, and also plenty of yummy sweet desserts -- a little station for "making our own mixed ice" also available there.

This time, there isn't a table full display of BYJ products and stuffs -- soo I can't take a picture of Iyan's order -- Biannata, Iyan .... maybe next time there is a gathering, we should ask Mrs. Donna before hand to bring the DVD hotelier from yesasia, so we can take a look at it ...

We start right after everybody finish eating, start with as usual, introduction of getting to know everybody ... btw, there are around 40 or maybe 50 people coming this Sunday afternoon, there are many newcomers coming to this gathering ... I'm happy -- it means that more and more people are becoming oppa's fans.

Mrs. Donna telling everybody her "Hug By Yong Joon oppa" experience ... And they play just a little bit the DVD of the Image Making , so that everybody who are interested in having "The Image" can order via My Idol Shop.

Quizzess and Games start --
there are 3 parts : ...

First part ; several questions on the April Snow .
Second part ; soundtrack of oppa's dramas and film and the year the drama made. Easy for me, just one soundtrack song that I miss , the one from Barefoot youth , which I completely barely ever heard.
Third part ; lines and sentences from all oppa's drama - and the specific moment when BYJ said those lines ... (hhmm... so ashamed of myself, I remember the lines from what drama but can not point out the moment.)

From the game, I get a handphone 's accessories which I tag along in my handphone right away after I get it ... The flashing one with 2 pictures of sexy BYJ in the Image. Actually the games are made, so that everybody can get something eventhough it's only little BYJ merchandise ...

Door prize ... is the one from Image Shop -- BYJ photo printed in the aclyric material ... looks very nice ... Fortunately, I got this at the last Gathering ...

The other door prize is the Book from Korean Air that in 4-6 pages there is Specials on Bae Yong Joon. ... I want this one, but too bad they don't take my number ... Korean Airlines hands out a regular book and put BYJ as the profile in order to attract more people coming to Korea ... hhmm... smart strategie.

oh, well, but I get other thing ... I get the BYJ on LG Handphone Brochure ? , the cover is pink, BYJ holding saxophone ... inside there is another picture of BYJ .....

THE MAIN EVENT OF Gatthering IS Bae Yong Joon's 33 years Birthday & also Celebration of 1st year BIF Everybody BLOW CANDLES on the Cake that has BYJ picture on it.

Regular Birthday Ceremonial, but becoming long and Very hilarious since this part would be shot to be given to BOF together with the presents and all Bday wishes and April Snow Success Wishes to oppa . Soo many hilarious and funny actions from all jooners are recorded in the handycam ...

Almost finish, they are showing the video that was sent to BOF last year, I never saw this edited video yet (with sounds and written explananation already included) ... Notice that I also showed up several times in the video while saying something about Yong JOon oppa ... Also IYan also showed up 2 or 3 times in the video ...

There are 3 - 4 people going to go to Korea to see the movie April Snow this year ... Inneke, Merly and Mrs. Donna ...

Have a lot of fun That Sunday. Finish around 16.15 -- Time to say Good bye to everybody Soo many good memories of BYJ were brought back to me and others, plus a chance of knowing some more people who also love oppa . Goodiebag as usual, there are some little merchandise of oppa. Too bad, Iyan can't make it to the Gathering.

Sarangheyo, Bae Yong Joon oppa .
Success for U Always .
AJA, AJA Fighting !!
Can't wait to watch April Snow.

GATHERING BYJ INDONESIA FAMILY ....

Saturday, January 22nd, 2005

13.00 WIB

This gathering is limited to BIF member only,since it is held in one of BIF house ... There are about 20 people I think who attended this gathering .... there are some new members i haven't seen before .... I got there around one o'clock ... most friends already got there .... As usual, do the chit chat now and there .... about Yong Joon oppa , of course ....

Mrs. Donna, she tell us about a story how she got the "Image - BYJ" .. Her 83 years old mom went to Korea ... in Seoul, her mom met with one of Inneke's friend ... and her friend bring her to BOF, BYJ's office .... Unfortunately, BYJ wasn't there at that time I was giggling while imagining her mom bought and carried 3 set of "The Image" -- of course, the "order list from her daughter" ..... hehehe .....

Anyway, the chit chat still going on, while snacking and waiting for Iyan to come ..... We started to make 3 groups ... since there are 3 books of "The Image" .... and each group started to see the book ....

For the start, Merli got an announcement to make .... She hold her book high, and showed us, that her book get signed by Oppa .... and there is written notes saying "Dear Merli" (i think that's the written handwriting) .... everybody cheering for her, of course, I asked her, how come she can get the special one.... She said, she got it from Tiffany .... (Does your book have a special note from oppa, too, Tiff) ....

Iyan came in bringing another set of "The Image" ...... Pages after pages are opened with extra careful and extra handling, we even open the pages with one hand holding tissues, so it won't get dirty by the finger prints ... .... of course, when the very special n gorgeous page is opened, we scream a bit ... hehehe ... There is gorgeous pict of BYJ sleeping ... (my favorite from the traveller's book) ..... he looks soo sexy in that pose .... Actually this is the second time, I see the Image .... but of course, one can't get bored of looking oppa ....

After we look at the two books, started to play the DVD ... i think, that was from Iyan's dvd ..... We watched the making of Image --- and again, scream a little bit now and there .... Until it finished, then everybody started to go home one by one ....

I still stay there for a while longer since it's been a while that I met and talked to them .... It was only left 5 persons I think .... We talked again about BYJ .... and some other K-drama and K-actors like Lee Dong Gun and LIP and Sweet 18 ......hehehe .... Talking about the possibility of Yong Joon oppa having another Launching of his new "Going Out" ... maybe in Singapore again .... hopefully, can go to see him like the last time .... We were planning on going to the Mall nearby , but then we decided to just talk there in the house ... after 1 hour or so, everybody include me go back home ... While we talk, Inneke played the vcd of Symphaty .....

Going home with the Pocketbook of BYJ , which is very attractive in color , look fresh (get from Inneke) .... and a 2005 BYJ Calendar (get from Inda) and some BYJ old photos ... hehehe .... and the LIP ost from Iyan (from Melvin, actually) .... Btw, in Indonesia, whoever who wants to order "The Image" can order via My Idol Shop ... it cost Rp 1,600,000,- .....

hhmm .... BYJ fans di Indo ini, pada setia2 banget yach ama BYJ ... liat aza tuh, harga pictorial semahal iitu aza tetep dibeli .... Gw ampe rumah, crita donk , of course, baru seru2nya crita ttg buku BYJ "The Image", udah langsung tuh diwarning dulu ....Awas, yach, kalo loe beli2 segala ... Padahal gw juga belom ngomong apa2an, belom tentu juga gw pengen beli .... Jadi sebel aza ....

Padahal yg laen pada ngebelain ke Korea segala, ikutan launching bukunya waktu di Seoul , dimana tuh, waktu itu, lupa banget .... Yah, Suan Le ... biar aza deh, untung madness BYJ gw sekarang udah gak terlalu kayak dulu lagi ..... bisa dibayangin kalo masih kayak dulu, apa2 ttg BYJ maunya jadi the first timer ,..... bisa2 udah pergi Seoul sendiri bulan kapan itu ....

Ngefans artis dari negeri sendiri, sedikit banyak lebih murah .

Ini nich contohnya ...harga CD nya penyanyi Indonesia aza cuman antara 35-40rb ...

Mo lebih murah lagi , cari kasetnya aza ...pasti masih ada khan ....

Nah, kalo yg dari luar, CDnya udah pasti import --- rata2 sekarang udah Rp 120-150rb...

Perbedaanya khan .... liat aza .... belom lagi, utk dapetinnya, kadang harus cari di Sing or Hongkong ...

Untuk film juga gitu , kalo pengen yg DVD original yg ada English subtitle, rata2 harus cari di Hongkong or Sing... Sekarang sih bener2 deh mikir2 dulu ah, kalo kemana2 cuman nyari2 gitu doank ...sayang booo uangnya .

Kalo pengen ketemu artisnya, juga gak perlu lari ke Sing dulu khan kayak kalo mo ketemu BYJ and Alec Su tempo kapan tuh, musti ke Sing dulu ...heheheh ....

Kesimpulannya, kalo mo ngefans, ngefans artis lokal aza kali yee ....Lebih murah .... cuman gak tau deh maslah personality , sama2 baek n ramahnya gak tuh artis2 sini .... Delon aza kadang2 suka moody gitu , untung kalo pas gw liat , pas gak pernah moody, kalo gak, gw pasti jadi kecewa berat deh ....
