Classic! (DO NOT READ!)

It's really long! But I really took a long time doing this. So DO NOT READ if you are just going to scoff at me. And yes, I know all the non-korean ones are all animated movies. I LOVE animated movies. Seriously. And I'll continue this post with the other non-animated movies and books and stuff. Sigh. Didn't think I had that many. AND I might have missed out a few too. Hmm... Oh and all the pictures and descriptions are not mine. =D

Anyway. I think I'm going crazy! But the reason I have this absolutely HUGE urge to blog about this is because my sister is watching it now! Ok. So this lame post is about my definition of classic movies AND books and some songs. But I guess it is impossible to really list out all of my definition of classic songs because there're just too many. Anyway. My definition of classic, basically, is just those movies etc. that are very awesome that you (or maybe just myself) can just watch them over and over again.Yay!

Ok. So: Classic Movies!

The Guy Was Gorgeous, He Was Cool (那小子真帥)- Korean (2004)
Soong Seung-Heon, Jeong Da-Bin

Hahaha. This movie brings back a lot of memories because I kept introducing it to different friends and thus, kept watching it again but with different friends. Haha. The latest time I watched it was with Steph and Tur (and so Pei had to watch it again. Sorry Pei!). We started watching it using YouTube in the Stationery Shop and it was so nice that Steph and Tur wanted to go to my house to finish it. But Tur had tuition so only Steph and Pei came. Then the next time all 4 of us were at my house we watched it again. Before, I also watched it with Pitza and Pei.

I really like this movie. The guy is really, REALLY good looking. In my opinion he looks the best here. In all his other movies he looks really old. But yea. This movie is so funny! And it's those typical love stories that really woo you, where the guy is always protecting the girl and fighting for her and always comes back for her. Haha. Typical, classic wooer! =D Oh, and the beginning of the movie is AWESOME!

Han ye-won(Jung Da-bin) is a plain-looking high school girl and one day, she writes a derogatory message about a boy on the web. It turns out that the boy, Ji Eun-seong(Soong Seung-heon), is a popular handsome high school student who is known to be very good at fighting but he projects a mystrerious lonely aura. Initially, two squabble, but somehow they get to know each other, and cope with obstacles together before they finally fall in love.
