Holla there
December! Month of Christmas! Merry merry merry….
My first
post for December is about, well, non-other than Korean drama. I've been indulging
myself into many Korean dramas these days. Something that can only be done
during long holiday. My broadband has been a great help really although the
quota exceeded its limit already. The bad side is it only works supersonic fast
at 2 am until 8 am SHARP. Guess what time I sleep every day. Giggle.
So I came
across this drama “Puberty Medley” or “Adolescence Medley” when I was busy
searching for good movies in YouTube to be downloaded. It is a KBS special
drama and only slated for 4 episodes. So everything is crammed into 4 amazing
episodes. I was hesitate to download it initially but my heart said, why not
give it a try and I’m glad I did.
This drama
is basically about first love and is set in high school in the year 2003 and
also the present year 2013. The story starts with our male lead teaching in a
class and suddenly we hear bell ringing and an angry voice of a woman. He was
actually sleeping and dreaming and the sound of an angry voice woke him up.
Then we can see that our male lead is actually a teacher teaching in a prep
school. The story then goes back into the past and the characters’ development
are exhibited.
What’s in
this drama?
- It’s set in high school and is
suitable for teenager. Since I’m basically a teenager still, so it perfectly
suitable for me.
- It tells a simple first love story that's sweet and funny. First love is always special.
- Teaches you to live your life
bravely. Embrace the challenges in life. Be good to people.
- Don’t judge a person by its “cover”.
He/she may be a good person.
- Don’t be a bully. No one likes
bully.
- Enjoy your high school life. It
happens only once.
- The songs in this drama are awesome.
Dae to the bak!
Episode 1-
synopsis
After
transferring schools seven times, Choi Jeongu learns it is easiest not to make
friends nor enemies. He sticks to that practice when he transfers into Namil
High School, but not for long. The guy sitting next to him, Deokwon, is overly
friendly and keeps trying to become friends with him. The class president and
the top student of the school, Yang Ayeong, keeps bothering him to do chores
for the class. Jeongu succeeds in remaining invisible until one fateful day,
when he stands up for Deokwon against a bully, who is constantly picking on
him. He mistakenly hits the Brown Bear, Yeokho, and is challenged to a duel. If
Jeongu wins, Deokwon will be left alone. When Ayeong tells him to apologize to
Yeokho, Jeongu gets angry and blurts out, "Go out with me." A day
full of regrets, but Jeongu is not concerned, since he is transferring out in a
week anyway.
Episode 2-
synopsis
Since
Jeongwu is no longer transferring out, all of his schemes went out the window.
"What do I do about National Singing Contest?" " What about
Brown Bear, who is out to get me?" "And... what do I do with my
public girlfriend Yang Ayeong?" Jeongwu is faced with the greatest crisis
of his life. Yeongbok and Wonil are itching to beat up Jeongwu, but Yeokho, who
is supposed to fight him, simply smiles knowingly. Jeongwu comes to grip with
the fact that he cannot escape the danger before him, and joins a boxing gym.
However, he sees Yeokho there and runs away and ends up running into Ayeong at
the bus stop. After a long, silent trip home, she asks him a question he cannot
avoid...
Episode 3-
synopsis
Deokwon
says a lot has changed since Jeongwu transferred in, and calls Jeongwu Namil
High's hero. It's a bit embarrassing, but Jeongwu doesn't mind. But when a true
hero is needed, the one who steps up is Deokwon, not Jeongwu. Jeongwu is
reminded of how cowardly he really is, and becomes disappointed in himself.
Meanwhile, Jeongwu hears from Wonil that something is going on between Yeokho
and Ayeong. When he asked, Ayeong says coldly, "Why is that so important
to you?"
Episode 4-
synopsis
Jeongu faces
off against Yeokho, man to man. Thanks to that, he feels closer to Ayeong. Now
all that's left is to sing a cheerful song for her on National Singing Contest.
He's walking on air, happy that he's shaking off his cowardly self and maturing
a little. Ayeong takes him by the hand and teaches him how to ride a bike. The
bike has "YW85" written on it. Ayeong says she wants Jeongu to have
it, but he refuses to accept something so precious to her. But she keeps
insisting. Jeongu suspects something and turns his back to her, and she musters
up the courage to tell him...
Btw, the
male lead,Kwak Dong Yeon is 97-er. But he had done a very good job in portraying Choi Jeongu.
He can sing too! Such a young adorable talented lad.
