Hey Guys! Sukiyaki Sam here.. and.. well I do believe this is my first official review/blog on the new site. Yeah yeah, I know I’m a lazy bum! But to start things off I wanted to do a review on a Korean drama that I just got done watching called My Lovely Sam-Soon or also known as My Name is Kim Sam-Soon. It previewed in 2005 with really high ratings, and I can definitely see why. I watched it on Dramafever.com (a great site for korean dramas). There are only 16 episodes, so it’s pretty short as far as kdramas are concerned, but I’m glad it didn’t drag on forever because even the best of stories can get pretty redundant sometimes.

The main plot was about Kim Sam-Soon, a single 30 year old patissier (pastry chef) who is “overweight” (yeah right) and hates her old fashioned name. The show starts off showing her boyfriend of three years cheating on her and the ending of their relationship. Through a couple turn of events she meets Sam-Shik , a pretty ridiculously attractive 27 year old millionaire, and begins to work for him at his newly opened restaurant. Sam-Shiks mom begins to pressure him into finding a wife so him and Sam-Soon draw up a dating contract to get her off his back. Soooo what’s the plot you ask? they get together right from the beginning.. thats not very eventful, right? Wrong. They aren’t really dating, nor do they even like each other. For Sam-Soon the benefit of this contract dating is she gets 50,000 dollars out of it, money that she will use to save her families house. As far as Sam-Shik goes, you can already see the benefits for him.. no one wants their mom setting them up on blind dates a million times a week. To make a long story short the show revolves around them pretending to date, there is a lot of drama considering Sam-Shik’s ex-girlfriend shows back up and tries to get her man back. And all the while Sam-Soons cheating scum bag ex is still trying to win her heart and a one way ticket into her pants even after being engaged to another lady.

Overall I really liked My Lovely Sam-Soon, it was a nice change from all the high school host club romantic comedy dramas (I’m not saying I don’t like those.. because I really reallllllly do). I think the fact that the characters being older had a lot to do with why I liked it so much. I would give this drama a 4 out of 5 rating, it was a great heartwarming story but the last episode was pretty weak and kind of predictable. Well I think that pretty much wraps it up! If anyone has any suggestions of dramas (korean, japanese, chinese, etc..) just drop me and email at weeaboobies@gmail.com and I would be more than happy to watch it and post a review :) Until next time! Sayonara baka-babies.

   it has come to my attention that we have hardly any updates related to video games…. i don’t care to knowledge myself in video games (except ffxi and harvest moon) — so i’m turning to any visitors available! it’s not like i’m just gonna accept the first loser that contacts us though… you’ll need to be as witty and clever as the rest of the weeaboobies staff. heh heh heh. yeah. we’re witty and clever.
   anyway, shoot an email over to weeaboobies@gmail.com if you are very knowledgeable in video games, have enough spare time to post relatively often (once or more a week, preferably) and … you’re a weeaboo? include a link to your facebook, myspace, tumblr or twitter; i’m sure you have at least one of those. also send us an example of a review of a game, or a review of game related news so we can decide if we like you or not. if you don’t receive a reply within a few days, we don’t like you. if you do receive a reply… then welcome to the dick suckin circle, mother fucker.

   ok that’s all.

   ok, ok, ok. i know it’s “old news” or … been talked about a million times, but this time it’s for real! apparently a hollywood produced death note live action has been thumbs-upped. it’s not going to be released even remotely in the near-future, but there’s two scriptwriters, and three producers already assigned to the movie. nothing really further. the movie was supposedly green-lighted around May of this year, and the interview below was from the past few weeks.
   but relating to this, is our dear old boy zac efron. he was asked in a recent interview if he was going to be involved in the movie, cast as light yagami, of course. his response?

“I love Death Note, and we were, kind of, working on it right now. You know, it’s not…it’s definitely not something that would be coming up soon. [Turns to Me and Orson Welles director Richard Linklater] What’s the classic answer, Rick? ‘It’s not on the front burner.’ No, no, it’s something that was … I feel like, regardless of whatever I say, it’s going to be [interpreted by the media to be] my next movie. No, it’s not. It was an idea. Who knows? I had a meeting on it.”

you may hear this for yourself by watching the video below – it begins at about 3:35.

Okay so they’re obviously making this like their redemption video. Although it’s a clip, it’s a pretty damn good but visually it seems like a regular PV. Their sound is similar to some tracks on “Withering To Death” with like a quicker tempo and some melody. I’m actually anticipating this PV, but downside is that it’s not getting released till December 2nd :C

I am saddened.

edit by ty::
the name of the single is: Hageshisa to, Kono Mune no Naka de Karamitsuita Shakunetsu no Yami

and on this single will be two rerecordings of older songs: Zan, and also Shokubeni
