Fairy Tale Wedding

I am too happy to see the Fairy Tale wedding yesterday. Thus I feel like wanna blog about it! :P

The Fairytale wedding of Prince William and Ms. Catherine Middleton has finally over. It has been celebrated by the worldwide. The wedding ceremony has been watched by billions of people and some of the spectators had camped overnight to nab the best vantage points along the short procession route. As for me, I was watching this royal wedding on TV live yesterday. I think it is a fairytale wedding. Guess many girls would have the dream of become the next Kate Middleton after yesterday. :P

I think the bride is very pretty with her wedding gown. The gown is simple and elegant and the tiara that she was wearing is beautiful too. She is just match with the prince. The part I like about this wedding is  the newlyweds left the church for their coach ride to Buckingham Palace, escorted by helmeted guards of the royal Household Cavalry. All the crowds were cheered for them as they couple look very happy. 

But the most highlight of the ceremony and also my most favourite part is the balcony kiss. When Middleton came out on the palace's balcony with William to wave at the surging crowds who will one day be her subjects, she could be seen to say: "Wow." Then came a pair of kisses that will be endlessly broadcast around the world. I guess the people who watching this scene would feel happy and crazy for it for that moment.

Well, I am wishing this newly married couple would have a happy life and looking forward they become the King and Queen of England. Again I want to say that Catherine Middleton is a really very, very lucky lady! :P

Chapter 60 of KWMS – The Beginning of the 4 Days 3 Nites School Trip

 The story begins that the Sanbaga (Idiot Trio) and Hinata are playing as the Japanese old time era warriors. They all are cosplayed as the warrior and fighting. Misaki, Sakura-chan and Shizuko are dressed in the kimono and pass by them. When Hinata sees her, he says “Misaki-sama, please come along.” He is using the formal language for the conversation and Misaki is shocked for it. Sakura-chan is very excited for it and tells Misaki “Ganbattei!”.  However, the idiot trio are mad for what Hinata does. Hinata is holding the hand of Misaki to run away from them but Misaki says “Wait a minute, it’s difficult to run with this costume…” and suddenly there’s a voice from behind saying “Let go of the hand!” A guy is singing an old Japanese song and everyone is shocked for it and is wondering why the guy is singing such song.
 
The guy is Usui; he is cosplayed as a hero of another old Japanese era (which is different from Misaki and Hinata) and stands in front of the crowd and says “Am I right? Misaki-sama?” All the girls are inspired by Usui so much especially Sakura-chan and say “So good-looking, Usui!” However, Misaki does not think so and think his cosplay is not match with them and wondering why Usui is so series about the cosplaying with the actual wig and costumes.
First Day of the School Trip

The story then returns to the few hours ago.

“Hooray, we are at the Kyoto now.””How long do we have to wait to leave the platform?””Ah, it’s very tired for the group tour!” The students are making noise in the platform. Some of the students are not interested in the guidebooks provided by the school Prez and even want to throw it away, and Misaki is overheard about it and gets mad. While on the other side, Usui is sitting at a side and the girls are trying to snap his photo secretly with the various angles, and Usui is cannot do anything about it as he becomes the star of the photo-shooting. Maria sensei is teasing him about it.
Misaki tells the group that they are going to the hotel to put down the luggage and it is the free time until night and Sakura-chan is cannot wait for it. “Do you wanna go in group since the route is same as Sakura-chan and Shizuko?”Misaki is asking her Sakura and Shizuko. Hinata and the Idiot trio are also wanted to follow along say “I want too!” “We also want to come!” and Misaki is shocked for it.
“I want to follow, I want to follow!” Usui says. “Me too. Me too!”Maria-chan says to Misaki. So they all go to the Movie World village in the first day of the school trip. SAKURA tells Misaki that they can cosplayed.
The story goes back to the beginning of the chapter.
“Misaki!” Maria-chan calls and cosplayed as a geisha with the full costumes and make-up. Misaki is shocked to see that even the teacher is also truly enjoying it. Misaki is surprised to see the students of class 2-2 also there as they follow their class teacher, Maria-chan. On the other hand, Misaki sees Usui is surrounded by the girls to take photo together.

“Usui is still very popular with the girls” Shizuko says. “It’s a school trip, also is a great-sama, everyone is crazy for it!”” Sakura says.
“What are you girls saying?” Misaki asking her friends (SAKURA and Shizuko).
“Usui is still very outstanding with his look” Shizuko says, “EVEN there is also good-looking staff…”Sakura says. Shizuko asking Misaki if she is worry about Usui, but Misaki says she is not. “I think he’s weird..”
“What are you talking about, cute Misaki-sama?” Usui appears in front of them suddenly. “I’m really glad that you are not dressed in man’s costume, dressed as the village girl does suit you, cute Ayuzawa-sama!” There is a silence then. “Oh? Did I say something weird?” Usui is asking. Misaki ignores Usui at all and tells her friend to go somewhere else to see around. Sakura tells Misaki to wait and she should give a reply to Usui since he gives her compliments but Misaki says Usui is only teasing her instead. Shizuko tells Misaki that Usui seems not lying about it and isn’t she happy for it. “Not really.”Misaki says. “The more I got tensed, the happier he is. I’ve gotta ignore him totally!”. Misaki says. “Why are you saying that, Misaki?” Sakura is asking her and both she and Shizuko are shocked to hear what Misaki has just said.
“You’re too over, Misaki-sama!” Usui suddenly standing next to Misaki with a smiling face. Misaki then tells him does not stand close to her as he is a weirdo-sama and he asks her back if he really is that weird. Both of them starting to fight in the conversation and then run way from the crowd. The groups of girls that want to take photo with Usui see him runs away with Misaki and then they left too. Shizuko tells Sakura, “Are those girls thinking that Usui is gone with Misaki due to he wanna to run away from them for the photo-shooting?””Nobody notice about it..”Sakura replies to her. However, Hinata sees the whole happenings.
Back to Misaki and Usui as they come to a bridge. “Where do u wanna follow me?!”Misaki asks. “Anywhere.”Usui replies. Misaki turns back to see him and remind her of Gerrad (Usui’s brother) due to his black hair.
“Am I look like my brother?”Usui asks Misaki.”… No, I’m sorry.”Misaki says. “Misaki, let’s go to the sword studio to see around.”Hinata is shouting to Misaki and then pulls her along and leaves Usui alone. After walking some distance, Misaki tells Hinata that she and Usui are dating now. “Really?” Hinata asks. Then he tells Misaki that he is having more genki (fighting spirit) now and would attach to Misaki always in order for her to have feelings from him. Misaki is shocked to hear that. “If you let everyone knows that both of you are dating, then I’ll give up, otherwise, I won’t!” Hinata says. Misaki can’t believe what Hinata has said to her. She then joined back with Sakura and Shizuko. They see a girl is crying and telling her friends that she has been rejected by Usui after her confession. Sakura and Shizuko then tell Misaki that she should say something to him instead pertaining such matter.  Then they also have met the singing band (Sakura’s favourite) and the school Prez of Miyabigoaka at the Movie world studio and they all shock to see them. Misaki then also met Yukimura, at first she could not recognise him due to he has cosplayed as the geisha as he tells him that he is forced by others to dress up like that. In the meantime, the friends of Yukimura come to take him away and leave Misaki alone behind. But she is lost in the place.


“You are here!”Usui suddenly appears in front of Misaki. “Usui?!” He is back to his normal look by wearing yokata. “What are you doing here?”He asks. “I wanna be alone for awhile” she says. “Usui… what did you tell the girl?” Misaki is blushing to ask such question. “The girl?” “You’ve been confessed by the girl again?””…Argh Argh…”Usui replies “I’m sorry that I’ve no interest for you. This is what I told her.” He tells Misaki. She then tells him that he should use another way to reject her and it was too cruel to the girl.
“… Can I say like that? I’m currently dating with Misaki, therefore I can’t be with you.”Usui says in a friendly manner. “You can’t!”Misaki is shouting to him. Usui then pulls Misaki along to look for the girl to tell her again and Misaki says he can’t say such words. Usui then turns back to Misaki and asks her why she wants to keep their relationship as a secret to such extend. She tells him that as a school Prez post. “Is it the only reason?”he asks. “Is it due to Who I Am?”He continues saying. Misaki wonders if Usui mad at her. “Is it because my family matter that u wanna keep it a secret?”Usui says. “It’s not. Please don’t say it….”Misaki says in a blushing. Usui pulls Misaki into a room as someone is coming.
“I’m always the demon school President, but I become shy easily. Because of you that I’m not like before and I don’t wanna others to know my changes..!”Misaki says. “It’s so. I’m sorry that I’m swearing that I won’t think other thing again. I already know that you want to keep it as a secret because ‘I’m the School Prez’” he tells her. “Is it so embarrassing for you to take off the mask of school Prez at school? Therefore, you’ll only take off the mask of the school Prez in front of me?”Usui asks. He pushes Misaki to the wall and says “Honestly speaking, I won’t allow other guys to see such cute Misaki!””Wh...What”? Misaki asks. “Can’t hold back to express my true girlfriend anymore.” he says.”Can attack now”. Usui says. “Us..ui!”.  Someone is calling for him just when they started to have lovey-dovey! :P



“Where’s he gone?””Usui, let’s have a fight!””Misaki, where are you?””Are you ready, Hinata?” “Maria-chan!” So, the school trip has started.

The story is about a young woman named Ji Hyun was enjoying absolute bliss as she was about to be married with her fiancee, but her perfect life is shattered in a car accident that left her in a coma. She is given a second chance at life by a reaper, but it comes with a condition: she has to find three people outside of her family who would cry genuine tears for her. In order to do this, she borrows the body of Yi Kyung, a part-time employee at a convenience store.

Story       :
Ji-hyun from an affluent family who lives a completely happy life, but through a car accident is brought to death’s door. However, the spirit that leaves her body encounters her pretty boy scheduler, whose role is to guide her to the afterlife. He is a modern angel of death. The dark and gloomy image of an angel of death had become lighter and more sophisticated when met with actor Jeong Il-woo. Instead of the usual dark image, he wears a fancy blue trench coat and rides a motorbike. Managing the schedules for the dead is also done with a smart phone. With his help she’s able to return to the living realm by borrowing Yi-kyung’s body, and must earn the sincere tears of three people (except her parents) in order to remain alive in her own body. However she is unable to reveal her true identity to them. She thought that it will be an easy task as she is confident that she will be able to get the tears from her fiance and 3 best friends and even bargained with the scheduler to extend her life further if she can get genuine tears from more than 3 people.

Cast :
Lee Yo Won as Song Yi Kyung
Nam Gyu Ri as Shin Ji Hyun
Jo Hyeon Jae as Han Kang
Bae Su-bin as Kang Min Ho
Jung Il Woo as scheduler
Seo Ji Hye as Shin In Jung






Actress Lee Yo-won managed to take off the stern image of "Queen Seon-deok" and transformed into a silly character. In the first episode of SBS drama "49 Days" Lee Yo-won played a dark character but in the second episode, after the soul of Ji-hyun went into her she plays a more lively and positive character. Especially in the scenes where she re-received her mission to come alive again by 'scheduler' Jeong Il-woo and in the restaurant, she completely threw off the image of "Queen Seon-deok" and became more tough and appetizing.


Lee Yo-won stars as Song Yi-kyung in this drama. She expressed her reason for choosing this drama, "There were a lot of choices but I chose this because the idea of playing two roles seemed fun" She said, "I am curious how I am going to portray and express these two characters, Song Yi-kyung and Sin Ji-hyun. I will work hard to express their different personalities well". She explained the drama, "49 Days" will make us think again about the way we live and help us find happiness". For actor Jo Hyeon-jae, who is acting as her love interest, this will be the first project since his discharge from the army.
Jeong Il-woo sang the OST for drama "49 Days" he's also starring in. While the drama "49 Days" is about gathering 3 drops of pure tears within 49 days, Jeong Il-woo has the role of the new generation death angel, scheduler. In following of the rap song "scheduler caller ring" he sang himself, he also sang the OST "The Scarecrow".
