Intense youth, coming of age drama series of young people, Sungkyunkwan (成均館)!!
A new historical drama setting, Sungkyunkwan (成均館)!!
Everyone knows Sungkyunkwan, the highest educational agency of the Joseon era, but no one knows it well. It has always been a background to a story, but this time Sungkyunkwan itself takes center stage. Sungkyunkwan was more than an academy. It was also the site of political feuds where people posted writings on walls in a life-risking attempt to speak to the king and where officials desperately tried to catch the culprits.
But most of all, it was a place of vibrant youth where students strove to put friendship and love before the stringent rules of the academy.
For the first time, a period series sheds light on the 500 year old Korean academic institute of Sungkyunkwan.

33-year-old Akiyama Satomi is a history teacher at the prestigious all-girls high school she once attended. She has earned the nickname "ohitorisama" (meaning "one person") for her perfectionism and capability to handle any work by herself. At the same time, the name also refers to her lack of romance. One day, a young man named Shinichi arrives at the school as a temporary instructor. He's ten years younger than Satomi, has only worked part-time jobs, and has neither money nor status. Although the other female teachers and students find him cute, he is completely not Satomi's type... or is he? Will love blossom between this unlikely pair?..
koike teppei is as usual very cute la.. he is not that short but with the actress already taller than him and wearing heels, the contrast is super obvious.. but this is still a super funny show.. i like the way they speak.. can catch some of the sentences..
Originally based on a shoujo manga by Satoru Hiura, the first series told the story of a young office lady named Hotaru, who has no interest in romance and instead prefers spending her time lazily at home. However, her life changes when circumstances lead her to live under the same roof as her boss. Although the first series focused on Hotaru's reawakening to love, "Hotaru no Hikari 2" will be more about her path towards possible marriage...
i like~ she really throw away all images and act without restriction in the show..

25 July sun: Jay's concert! finally today arrives..it's always like that for me. i do not feel exceptionally excited until i enter the place.. very last min.. it does not feel like real until it actually happens.. hahaha.. there is a reason why so many ppl like him and supported him.. like S.H.E., he is another idol we have followed thru for 10 years.. awww...
since we are located kind of far away from the stage, we have been waiting for the chance to stand up but the ppl ard us are kind of calm. we sway our lightsticks so hard that our hands ache. we scream and shouted and it just feels so good.. everything feels right and i thank yy's fren for being able to get us the tickets.. not as touching as S.H.E's concert but it's high!!
i like it when he says:" if i dont see the whole stadium stand up, I'll not continue singing..." waahaaha..
i like the sing along, i like how he engages the audience. everything just feels so right..
jay says:" he is only 31, enjoying his life as a bachelor, not hurrying to find a gf or to get marry.. he still wants to sing for another 10 years.."
i am much younger than he is, i have more to do, i also hope to have dreams and fulfil them one day.
who cares abt his news on gf, how he treats reporters etc, he is who he is. many parents do not understand the importance of their presence, duh..
Synopsis: Taro Sato (Yusuke Kamiji) has been poor all his life. Since the death of his wife, his situation has become even more desperate as he has to raise his three kids by himself and has no real marketable skills. So when he applies for a job that he doesn't expect to get, as a chauffeur to a rich young woman, he's surprised when he does. His employer is Alice (Aya Ueto), your usual spoiled rich kid. Her father is a hotel magnate and her mother a popular actress. She's never wanted for anything her whole life and expects to get everything she wants. She and Taro have nothing in common, and, at least in the beginning, all they do is get on each other's nerves.
Taro is so cheerful and exaggerated, so cute and funny that i do not think anyone like that would ever exist..

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'
'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'
'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'
'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'
'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'
'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back...'
'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'
'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'
'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back...'
'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.'
'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'
