It is great korean drama show i ever seen.
It is like learning a lesson what love life should be.
Click here for official website
Simply brillant.One of the best korean dramas i ever seen.
Japanese dramas are easily put a shamed when compared to this drama.
If Densha Otoko(japanese drama 2005) is all about luck in your love life,then this Phoenix is about love timing!
I love Phoenix's love content much more than Densha Otoko!
The main characteres in this show who are being entangled each other in love web.
the male character name is Jang Sae-Hoon and the female character name is Lee Ji-Eun
They met each other when she crashed her sports car into office room at the petrol station and he was happened to be in the room trying to avoid the oncoming car.
It was so irony that the relationship start from that point when she requested him to pretend to be her boyfriend so that she can get back at her friends.
During the conversation(very interesting;a must to know):
Ji-Eun:What's a phoenix got to do with love?
Ji-Eun:Have you ever seen a phoenix?
Sae-Hoon:It's a bird from Egyptian mythology.
Sae-Hoon:It was a bird named Phoenix that lived in the desert for 600 years and then
consumed itself with fire.
Ji-Eun:That's sad.
Sae-Hoon:But it's renewed from the ashes.
Sae-Hoon:That's why it looks so passionate.
Ji-Eun:Love as passionate as the phoenix.
Ji-Eun:Maybe the artist was trying to convey sacrifice through love, and not passion.
Sae-Hoon:Just as the phoenix consumes itself with fire,and then is renewed from its ashes,love means sacrifice.
Sae-Hoon:I think that's what it meant.
Ji-Eun:No, I don't like that.
Ji-Eun:I want to think that the artist wanted to express passionate love.
Sae-Hoon:Okay
Little wonder,this painting picture of phoenix is the catalyst to trigger the love between them.
Lee Ji-Eun's father who objected strongly to her daughter's relationship because of Sae-Hoon's current status.
Ji-Eun's sister
Sae-Hoon's close friend and Ji-Eun's friend
Ji-Eun's best friend,Nam Bok-ja(her facial shape is a bit unique because she seem to have mixed blood in korean and european)
It was Ji-Eun initative to purse Sae-Hoon who did not want to have relationship with her because he didn't want to continue (relationship) on this dead-end street.
Sae-Soon was relucted to love her.
Despite of her father's disapproval because Sae-Hoon was orphan since young,she tried to get herself pregnant by sleeping with him in sly way(wearing sexy undergarment grown).It mean it will get her parents to give in to her so as she can get closer with him.
Indeed,it did and he took his responsibility to marry her..
Sae-Hoon did all cooking while Ji-Eun,carrying baby in her tummy slacked because she couldn't change her rich lifestyle.
At this point(picture),Ji-Eun asked him to buy lobster for dinner.On the way buying them,his heart ached when he saw the hefty price to pay those lobster when he has only part-time job pay which is enough for himself and his own studies.
Nevertheless,he took it to his stride.
Amiable!
However,whatever they do the marriage couldn't last long when there was a small misunderstanding.
In the end,she decided to dump him by divorcing him because she had no will to follow his request(not to accept her parents' money or gifts)
Sae-Hoon was so distraughted that he couldn't leave her that easily.
In the end he agreed with his professor to go for student exchange at America.
Ji-Eun overheard how her mother bribed him with some money to leave her and Bok-ja told where Sae-Hoon was doing.
She quickly drove her car to airport as her father was trying to catch her up asking her to come back.
A horrible fate..Her father died while walking on the road as her car was strucked in the traffic jam.
10 years later...
Ji-Eun and her family was no longer rich.
Woah,look at her hairstyle,it certainly increase her age appearance.
Ji-Eun's sister became wild girl who always go out at night.
another important character appeared.
Seo Jung-Min...a rich womanizer and the man who never love any girl.
He suddenly liked her after met her in a bar as she was trying to take her sister to home.
She was working as a personal and professional maid...
She was shopping for expensive clothes for her client.
Another important character apppeared.
Yoon Mi-Ran,Ji-Eun's friend(knew each other through their rich families) and she knew Seo Jung-Min(studied in the same university and both Yoon and Seo family knew each other)
Ji-Eun met her...They talked for a while..
Mi-Ran want to show her boyfriend called Will.She met him in America.
Mi-Ran's boyfriend will.No doubt,you are not seeing the wrong person.It is the same person,William Jang Sae-Hoon!In 10 years ago,he swore that he would never come back to Korea but Seo family bought some of his share(his company at america) and hired him as CEO for Seolin enterprise.That was how he came to Korea because of that.
When Sae-Hoon saw Ji-Eun,they were so shocked and flabbergasted.
They didn't tell Mi-Ran about their relationship.
They kept quiet and treated each other as a first-time friends
Seo Jung-Min(Seolin's exceutive and then vice president of seolin for financial sector) pursed with a lot of passion and love with Ji-Eun.
Originally,Ji-Eun couldn't accept his love because of her past relatsionhip with Sae-Hoon and her love for Sae-Hoon never died.
Until a certain moment where Jung-Min saved her in a fire,she was relucted to love and marry him.
Guess what.It was a lesson for her.Ji-Eun is living the life that is similar of Sae-Soon of 10 years ago.
She realised how Sae-soon felt in 10 years ago with all kind of suffering.
Sae-Hoon wanted to get back wtth Ji-Eun but she firmly reject because of her father's death.Mi-Ran was jealous of Ji-Eun and at the same time she tried to destroy him and herlsef so as they can get back together.
Sae-Hoon broke up with Mi-Ran as he couldn't handle her after he found out that Mi-Ran secretly practise how to walk(He felt responsible because he indirectly caused her to lose the ability to walk temporarily in accident).By the time,he made Mi-Ran show her true colours and then he broke up with her.
Ji-Eun did the same way as Sae-soon of 10 years by telling her family not to accept money or gift from Jung-Min
BUT!!A horrible truth was about to reveal to Jung-Min first.It was about Jung-Min's father who asked his aide to 'kill' Ji-Eun's father but he didn't expect that he died.
Jung-Min was heartbroken and decided to be croward because he did not want to lose Ji-Eun's heart.
He kept it so long until...
He played a voice recorder(his father's aide left there) in front of Ji-Eun as he was so curious.It is when she agreed to marry and never run away no matter how difficult it is.
The horrible truth was out.She heard it and asked him to play but it didn't play because Jung-Min quickly erased it.
Ji-Eun was so shocked to hear such truth...
Sae-Hoon found out from Ji-Eun and they went on hot heels to get evidence from Jung-Min's father.
They never got evidence.
The 'war' broke....Jung-Min knew that he couldn't ask Ji-Eun for forgiveness and decided to turn his back against her to protect his hatred father.
Mi-Ran who torture herself,Jung-Min,Sae-Hoon and Ji-Eun(they all involved in one love web) until she realised that her efforts was useless...
She wrote two seperate letters to Sae-Hoon and Ji-Eun how she felt and apologised.
By the time they read,she poisoned herself.
She died with a hope that she wiill meet Sae-Hoon earlier in her next life.
It was sad...
The war ended with police exposing the dirty linens that Jung-Min father did so much bad deeds to make Seolin entreprise famous and rich.
Jung-Min decided to leave Korea for America.
Sae-Hoon never hated Jung-Min despite how bad Jung-Min was to Sae-Hoon.
Sae-Hoon asked Ji-Eun to give Jung-Min another chance to forgive him and go to see him at airport.
Ji-Eun did went and saw him(only his back) but after seeing his back,she walked away.
Fortunately,Jung-Min turned his back and saw Ji-Eun walking away.
He felt relieved and he thought that was enough.
He left Korea...
What happened to Sae-Hoon and Ji-Eun.
They didn't go into another relationship because they were mentally tired from all happenings even though they didn't reveal how much they love each other.
They merely swore that they should withstand all kind of pressures and problems(to avoid 10 years ago marraige tragedy)
3 years later(10+3=13 yrs later from start)
Sae-Hoon managed to restore the reputation of Seolin and his campaigns for mp3 player market was successful.
Meanwhile Ji-Eun became successful fashion manager.
Little wonder fate again arrange the meeting for two.
AGAIN!the painting picture of phoenix in the hotel.
Sae-Hoon saw it and admired it once again.
Followed by few mins later,Ji-Eun saw Sae-Hoon looking at the painting.
Ji-Eun walked up and stand next to him!
BUT they bade goodbye on each other and left!(what,i knew that they would marry again but i didn't expect this)
Meanwhile....
Jung-Min came back to Korea for business deal for his America-based company.
(Woah,he shaved goatee.He look more mature now as if he has turned into the man who has forgiven by someone after what he had done horrible doings.)
He went to that hotel where Sae-Hoon was.
After that phoenix painint incident,Ji-Eun was talking to her client.
He saw her and stand behind watching her finish talking with her client.
Suddenly,she dropped her portofolio and Jung-Min took it and return it back.
She was shocked and smiled.
They parted and Jung-Min went to see Sae-Hoon.
Few days later...
Sae-Hoon went to Jeju island to relax and retrieve the memorise of him and his ex-wife.
He was at the beach and he was about to throw the letters(Ji-Eun and Sae-Hoon wrote each other during their courtship days) and photos of them to the sea.
While...Ji-Eun was also in Jeju island.She was at hotal to finalise the deal with her client.
She wished that she should have told Sae-Hoon how she felt earlier...
She walked to the beach and saw Sae-Hoon.
Both were not shocked and they were smiling to the fate who arrange another meeting for them.
Finally,they kissed each other.
That is the ending.
Rating:10/10
That is what i am talking about in my previous blog entries.
It is all about timing when come to love.
I has the same opinion as Sae-Hoon of 10 years ago when i do not want to get into dead-end path love relationship when i was young.
But now?I am ready but i am waiting patiently for the fate to arrange it.
It is like unexpected thing.
I like it!
AJA AJA!
I revamped my blog to angel style blog.
I was touched when i saw a video where Nicholas Tse sang 5 mandarin songs in front of taiwanese audience in 2001.
He cried and then he sang Tian Shi(Angel) song.
I decided that it will be the theme of the blog.
It took long time for me to like this song.
