Halyu! (korean wave)

Well i guess you've noticed by now... there are already lots of people who're caught in the "korean wave" (may it be korean drama series or movie or even korean culture).  Is it because there is an increasing number of koreans staying here in the philippines?.. hmm.. could be.. Lots of pinoys just can't get enough of korean movies & series.. and i'm one of them. ^_^
Now let me tell how i came to be in this "korean wave".  It was all because of a single korean movie i watched 3 yrs ago... guess what the title of that movie.... guess it..... come on guess.... i know that you know it.... well, if you really don't know... it was the korean romantic comedy "My Sassy Girl".  This movie showed me the wonderful world of korean movies.  Before i watched this film i tought it would suck.. but instead i was shocked, amazed, baffled, blown away, impressed, etc..after watching the film.  it was soooo good... This movie has a style i've never seen before. they have a different way in twisting the storyline, they have a way in mixing comedy with romantic/dramatic scenes, you also feel each character.  The best part was the way the movie never mentioned the Girl's name (not once).. i barely even noticed 'til someone asked me the name of her character..
the conversation went like this:
friend: pare, ano nga pangalan nun girl sa my sassy girl? yun name nya sa movie ha..
me: ahh.. si ano... si.. uhmm... siii.....hmmm... si... !!! ... oH mY GoD! 'Di kO aLaM!!!
Korean movies today deserve recognition.. their standards can now be compared to Hollywood movies (since they threw out their shitty old cameras and replaced them with hi-tech digital gadgets). Their movies became great! and so are their special effects (try watching "Taegukgi / The Brotherhood".. has nice special fx)  Their storylines is probably their greatest asset.. it's really amazing how writers come up with these great stories.. i mean it's just great!.. ^_^
Hmm... i'm kinda getting tired from all this typing... so now i think i'll just list my top 5 reasons for liking korean movies.. here goes.
top 5 reasons:
1. Excellent storylines
2. Good cinematography
3. Great Acting
4. Nice Soundtracks
5. i Love the Way they Talk! hehe ^_^
^_^.. so there you go.. my top 5 reasons. so when it comes to romantic comedies and dramas.. korean movies is da best! i go to japanese movies when i want to see some blood and gore.. and if i want movies with good graphics, Hollywood flicks are the ones. comedy? nothing beats good ol pinoy comedies. hehe. ^_^
