vampires and pretty korean boys

Nation:
something amazing has happened to me.

Twilight and Boys Over Flowers happened to me.

No joke, I really love Twilight and I really love the korean version of Boys Over Flowers. Let's take a look at why those two things give me a reason to live my life.

1) Twilight
When I first saw this movie in the cinema, I was thoroughly . . . aggravated! Freaking, I paid a bunch a good $10 plus online fees to see this movie, and it was total crap. Kristen Stewart can only do the whole "i'm-an-angsty-moody-and-awkward-teenager" bit and she doesn't even do it well. The way she acts is like a classmate with a booger in his nose. You want to tell him that he needs to blow his nose, but you don't want to be rude; and yet you can't stop staring at that humungo booger. Yeah, that is Kristen Stewart to me. And then there is Robert Pattinson. He's lucky that he's hot! Robert Pattinson was so weird! Edward is supposed to be all suave and seductive, but Robert was all awkward and trying not to talk in a British accent. Freaking, half his lines were so forced. It made me feel uncomfortable watching him. He just tried way too hard and it did not come through. Also, the movie didn't even go into detail! Directors always say how the movie would have been too long and what not. Twilight was straight up, two hours and nothing. Does Catherine Hardwicke not know how crazy Twilight fans are? When you're a fan-pire you would be more than willing to sit through a six and a half hour movie that is exactly like the book. But no. Instead Hardwicke created that garbage she calls Twilight. The weird thing is that I bought the DVD the moment it came out. Not only did I buy the DVD the first day it came out, but I watched TWICE in that one day. I then watched the day after, and the day after that. I seriously watched that movie about ten times since the day I got it. I don't know why. It's like I'm waiting for the movie to get better, but each time I watch, the movie sucks, like always. I think I watch the movie for that hottie Robert Pattinson. Because he is so good-looking and makes me swoon (his face also makes me want to have his babies) I forgive Twilight for sucking ultimate balls.

2) Boys Over Flowers

There are actually four reasons why I loved this korean drama so much.
1.
2.
3.
4.
These boys are incredibly cute, it almost hurts. They are just so pretty. On Monday and Tuesday nights, I would plan my day out accordingly. First I would do homework and at 6:00 I would watch that hour of pure entertainment. I can only really say good things about Boys Over Flowers. The boys were cute and the drama was good. Of course there were a few scenes that made my face go 0.0, but other than that the drama was all sorts of awesome. There was such a hype about it too. F4 would be in the newspapers all the time and my dad told me that when he was in Korea, Monday and Tuesday nights at 9:20 pm there would be no cars on the streets and no people walking on the sidewalk. Everyone was too busy watching Boys Over Flowers. The only problem with that show is that it makes me raise my standards with a guy. I want a guy like Yoon Ji Hoo (#2). He's quiet, incredibly good looking, sweet, caring, wonderful, smart, musical, beautiful, generous, beautiful, good personality, did I mention BEAUTIFUL? I am never going to get married because I want that perfect Korean fantasy! I want the guy to love me so much that he would be okay with the friend zone just so that he could stay close. I want a guy to love me so much that he would come find me whenever I call him or when he just wants to see me. I want a guy to be smart, witty, and charming. I want a guy to be able to play guitar and piano for me. I want a guy to be athletic. I want the guy to be tall. I basically want Kim Hyun Joong (the guy who plays Yoon Ji Hoo). What? Jandi doesn't love you? Eff her! I'll love you!!! But now that Boys Over Flowers is over, my tuesday nights are super sad. Monday is still awesome because of Heroes. Yeahhhh
