Three Seasons in Korea 韩国三季风光
I’d done some research on Korean Universities. Out of some Korean universities I listed out, I think Seoul National University seemed the most reasonable one.
One semester cost SG$1.8K. and I sem is 10 weeks. And the Korean Language will need 7-8 semester to complete which is about 2 years. Mondays to Fridays from 9am-2pm. University accommodation is $400/mth, and allowance for food/personal needs/transports/other extra expenses would be about $600/mth. And a meal in Korea is about $9-10….
Sounds pretty logical & reasonable, except the monthly allowances is kinda exaggeratingly too much. I think that can be saved up la. But on the whole it’s pretty ok la…probably can consider… Korea’s a 4 season country, asian faces and it seemed like a pretty nice society…AHHH~~ When will I have chance to go Korea???
If I really have the chance to go study in Korea, I’d definitely have to go to several places…those places in the Korean drama!
Speaking about Korean drama, was watch the VCD of Summer Scent which my sis borrow from her friend and I jus realized it’s really really very similar to the previous 2 series on Winter & Autumn. Hmm…I shall make some comparison among these 3 series…

Winter Sonata 冬季恋歌
Setting: 皑皑白雪纷飞 is what it can be described. Even the names of the design firms of Yujin & Minyeong are called Polaris & Marciel (马尔雪) respectively.

Summer Scent 夏日香气
Setting: 满洲绿油油的花草树木~ Flowers, grass, all the aroma of Summer. Theme colour would be green, yellow, purple where you would notice from the lead’s style of clothing. Very garden like.
Ryu Min Woo 刘敏宇 (Song Seung Hun 宋承宪): An Italian-University grad in Architecture who loves mountain trekking and being close to nature. He met his first love, Enhui during his last university year on a rainy when both of them were seeking shelter. But Enhui passed away 3 years due to an accident. Her family had agreed for her organs to be donated.
Sim Hae Won 沈慧媛 (Sum Yijin 孙艺珍): A florist who loves flowers, grass & nature with a heart transplant. Her greatest dream would be able to run along the grass with 她最心爱的人. 拥有一双巧手, Soft spoken, gentle, capable, 讨长辈欢心, she’s the typical 淑女 type of girl which any moms would wanna get her as daughter-in-law. Had recieved heart transplant operation 3 years ago.
Park Syung Chae 朴圣才: The GM for a holiday resort who’s in charge of project planning, renovation project. His one & only first & true love was Huiyuan whom he knew during his high school days. And he knew she was the one for her. He was prepared to marry her anytime as long as she says yes.
Story/Plot: Since young, Huiyuan had heart problems and hoped her wished would be fulfilled. Her greatest dream came and she'd recieved a heart transplant. Her character changed totally after the transplant, she became more sporty & cheerful now. She felt 幸福 to have Shengcai by her side until there was once where she almost got lost during a mountain trekking session. Luckily there was kind guy, Minyu who directed her to the right way and Huiyuan felt her heart racing at the sight of Minyu. It was raining getting dark, Huiyuan & Minyu had spent the whole night together at an old man's place. They didn't even know each other's name.
Jeona was Shengcai's younger sister as well as Minyu's junior. She had been very much in love with Minyu and always stick to him like glue. Nobody knew wat happen on the mountain except for Minyu & Huiyuan. But they eventually meet each other as Shengcai's fiance & Jeona's boyfriend (even though Minyu had no feelings for Jeona). Things got awkward & complex when all of them had to work together for the resort's renovation project.
Huiyuan & Minyu 日久生情. And the more time he spent with her, the more he was reminded of his 死去的初恋情人, Enhui.
It turned out that the donor of Huiyuan's heart belonged to Enhui, no wonder they had so many similarities, Minyu thought. Both of them eventually 抛弃一切,不顾身边的人的阻止在一起 but it didn't last either when Huiyuan found out that the heart beating inside her, belonged to the Enhui which Minyu couldn't forget. She knew Minyu love her cos she resemble Enhui, cos being with her then he'd be able to find Enhui's shadow. Even Minyu couldn't figure out. Ending's quite incomprehendable...
如果我的遭遇能像韩剧那样...那该有多好...
实际上虽然不能,不过可以在梦里发生啊!
我喜欢睡觉...因为可以做梦...

请不要怀疑, yes, the drama review was typed by me.
一字一句都是我本人昨晚凌晨打出来的.
It was not taken from some websites.
因为只有我才会中文英文并用！不三不四! Hahaha!!
Anyway, my views & comparison of the Three-Seasoned series:
1. There are several similarities with the lead's jobs, noticed it's always something to do with design or artistic jobs? Artist, painter, architect, interior designer, florist... The producer 或许也和我一样热爱艺术~ Those are some of my dream jobs but can never be accomplished?
2. The male leads whom the female leads love would always be those 高大威猛，有情有意，感情丰富. And something about them that the female leads would do or give anything to be with them. Of course, a relationship wouldn't be so smooth. There's always a triangle whereby the 2nd male lead would always be there for the female lead whenever she is upset with the 1st male lead. And the 2nd male lead would always be those very protective 处处维护女主角, very 善解人意，温柔体贴，致死都不会丢弃女主角. Awww......
3. A drama wouldn't be complete without some spoilers. Usually the most detestable character in the show, 就是一直死缠的第一男主角不放的千金大小姐. Because of this character, hence the drama tend to be very draggy cos she always cause the male lead into a dilemma and the story is unable to continue it can be solved. AIYO! That's why I don't like to add such ppl to my fanfic....
All time favourite Korean drama would be Winter Sonata though. But what appeals to me is both Bae Yong Jun & Choi Ji Woo really 演活了江俊祥/李民亨和郑友珍的交色. And they brought out the whole winter romance on the screen~ Awww....
我也想要有段冬季恋情! HAHA! 2nd favourite's always 红豆女之恋! Hur hur~~~ 我个人很喜欢像金贤成那种男生~ 想知道金贤成先生是怎样的一种性格吗? 去看红豆女吧！
