Inspiring Generation Finale Episodes 23-24

SOOOOOOOO..... if you haven't watched yet do not read any futher....

 OK REYEON dies... she knows that Hwangbang had poison for Jung Tae and because she couldn't bare to see anything happen to him she switched cups and drank his, then died in his arms shortly their after. She dies and Jung Tae goes as I like to say "Ape Shit" running all through Bamsamtong to Hwangbang, until Jung Jae Hwa talked sense into him. Then Jung Tae began to use his mind and came up with a plan.

Throughout episode 23 and 24 we see Jung Tae scare the crap out of the leader of Hwangbang. In Episode 24 it seemed that Hwangbang had gotten the upper hand setting a trap for the Bamsamtong gang. Shin Jung Tae could be compared to a super hero as he fights a guy who is apparently famous and known as the tiger style of fighting master. Shin Jung Tae must be the master because he took him out. Still it seemed like Hwangbang was about to take Bamsamtong but some General and the military comes out of no where and takes ALL of them Bamsamtong and Hwangbang. He talks to the leader of Hwangbang who lies, but the general already had documents proving he was lying and locked him up. Now all Shin Jung Tae asked for was for the Joeson people of Bamsamtong have a safety area. The General said he would see what he could do... in the mean time WHAT ABOUT THE IL GOOK HWE????

Well Aoki set up a plan to take over Bamsamtong before it could become a safety zone, unfortunately for him Gaya loves Jung Tae too much for him not to be warned. He comes and takes of the rest of the guys that Jung Jae Hwa didn't get and then fights Aoki who never could fight. Then the official message comes in that Bamsamtong will be a safety zone and Il Gook Hwe has to leave them alone. And in the end Gaya brings Chung Ah to Shin Jung Tae.

Now I really loved Inspiring Generation it was a great drama. It had so much action and melodrama. There was romance and there was hate, but for me it sort of failed towards the end because it seemed rushed and I think that throughout the drama they tried to put way too many story arcs in it. I really wanted to see more with Jung Tae and Chung Ah but they only gave this situation like two minutes and the show was over. Jung Tae gets neither girl as Ok Reyeon dies and Gaya goes on bout her business with Aoki and the Japanese. I guess with any drama you have to just say that the rest of the characters went on to live happily ever after.

Overall I was pleased to see Kim Hyun Joong as a character like this, fighting, and being like a man. He has always been a flower boy, but Jung Tae is a long cry from Ji Hoo; although we can fall in love with both. Was his acting better than before? I am not sure. I love Kim Hyun Joong so I am bias, BUT I can say his eyes act well. I am not sure. He still seems just as stoic as he has been in other programs. He is never given a character that is multifaceted but then again you can't say he plays the same characters either. Ji Hoo was a hopeless romantic who was rather stoic. Baek Sueng Jo was a child genius who was set in his ways and spoiled (to a degree) also very stoic. BUT then again looking at the word stoic, Shin Jung Tae wasn't stoic he was also ways showing emotions, especially anger.

Inspiring Generation seems like it was going to be a long road of fights and more fights, but now looking back I feel like it was really short. Now I am wondering what I will do on Wednesday and Thursday night?!? 

Kim Hyun Joong: OST Inspiring Generation "When Today Passes"

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Here were are!!! I knew he just HAD to sing a song for HIS own show RIGHT!!!!!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK????

Inspiring Generation!!! 17-22!!!

So I have to apologize... I went to a comic convention and never had a chance to #1 watch any episodes of Inspiring Generation and #2 I never had a chance to blog. So I have quite a bit to go over. So I'll do it the best I can with lots of pics...



Episode 17:

Jung Jae Hwa had his grand re-opening of the Shanghai Club. Ok Reyeon gets to sing but backstage.  It is during such time that Hwangbang threatens Leader Mo and forces him to fight Shin Jung Tae in order to regain some of his stability and to keep Hwangbang from killing his family. In a weird turn of events Shin Jung Tae beats Leader Mo. Also during this the Director of Intelligence Aoki has arrested Ok Reyeon in which Shin Jung Tae goes to get her, but gets caught by Aoki.

 Episode 18/Episode 19: 

In this episode Shin Jung Tae has gone after Ok Reyeon, but gets caught by Aoki. Shin Jung Tae then fights Aoki who punks out and brings out the firing squad, but before they can shoot Gaya sets the place on fire and they have to go take care of that, in the mean time DoGgo has

Ok Reyeon and cons her into signing paperwork for Hwangbang. So Hwangbang finds that Ok Reyeon is Shin Jung Tae's heart. Also Gaya reports to Il Gook Hwe everything that has occurred. Also On the low Hwangbang use a group of Mongolians to attack the people of Bamgsamtong and the actually killed about 10 people. This makes Jung Jae Hwa look to be a bad "owner." 

Episode 20:

In this episode Shin Jung Tae and Jung Jae Hwa have to fight. Shin Jung Tae beats Jung Jae Hwa and was trying to uncover what Hwang Bang had done by bringing the Mongolian who attack the town to confess who had told them to do it but before they could get it out the assistant leader of Hwang Bang killed them. Meanwhile at Il Gook Hwe the Boss is mad at everyone from Gaya to Aoki. He messing up Shinichi pretty bad making him unable to us his arm. He also puts out a hit on him, basically letting any and everyone know that if you see him take him out there is a reward. Gaya also comes at the big boss wrong as she talks all about how her mother loved a Joseon man (Korean) and was killed for it and she also says that she loves a joseon man (shin jung tae). Il Gook Hwe is falling. Also Ok Reyeon draws a map for Shin Jung Tae so that he can know his way through Hwangbang. While Shinichi brings some very important docs to Hwangbang.  A fight ensues.

Episode 21: First I just have to say Shin Jung Tae is a beast!!! He is a strong fighter and he thinks on his feets. He ninjas to HwangBang to save Ok Reyeon but ends up only really saving Gaya. (Go figure) But it is in this episode that with him, Leader Mo and the help of others he is able to create a plan that will cause HwangBang and Il Gook Hwe to attack each other in hopes to deplete Hwangbangs men while taking down Il Gook Hwe. We see Shin Jung Tae and friends blitz Il Gook Hwe. It is in this episode Shin Jung Tae and Gaya their first tender moment since their last when they were kids. AND!!!!! KIM HYUN JOONG's OST plays in the background yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOO and by the way AOKI kills Il Gook Hwe's leader Denichi. Takes him right out!

Episode 22:
The Plan goes into action and it is a success, they deplete both Hwangbang and Il Gook Hwe. In the light of victory Shin Jung Tae ask to marry Ok Reyeon and they are wed. That is the most Important aspect of the episode to me LOL!!! BUT what will happen next. I have seen some spoilers for episode 23 so I am ready to cry my eyes out :(

Inspiring Generation Weekly Review Episodes 15/16

Yes Finally Shin Jung Tae realizes he is a pawn in this situation (The war between Hwangbang, and Il Gook Hwe). Finally he sees that there is something fishy about Hwangbang. Now he is starting to think instead of just fight. He goes to Hwangbang and asks if the leader, Seol Doo- Sung, to be his surrogate father as Jung Tae is now parent-less, of course Jung Tae did it in front of everyone in town and it would have looked terrible if the old man declined. So Jung Tae was adopted by Seol- Doo- Sung in a Chinese ceremony, making it almost impossible for Seol Doo Sung to kill Jung Tae it will make him look bad morally. Then Jung Tae says he wants to learn under Jae Hwa. He's sort of screwing with Hwangbang. The episode ends with Jung Tae and Jae Hwa back to back under attack at Club Shanghai, which is rather interesting to see these two together as they were once at odds. The TALK of episode 15 has nothing to do with Jung Tae fighting or trying take revenge for his fathers death, but was all about Kim Hyun Joong and his almost naked scenes, which lasted all of 5 seconds LOL!!! But it was kind of a big deal. I guess a bath in this time period, in this particular drama is the shower scene equivalent. Regardless thanks Korean Drama Gods because we love Kim Hyun Joong but more importantly we like him naked. Especially with the definition of muscles!!!

Here are some stills to further the imagination:

So episode 15 leaves us with Jung Tae and Jae Hwa in a bind, and it is with episode 16 that Leader Mo returns, unfortunately even though he helps the two in their situation he is there to take Club Shanghai and become the owner. It seems though that Hwangbang didn't mention that Shin Jung Tae had anything to do with the club and Leader Mo was like "what's up with that" in so many words. It was obvious to Leader Mo that Hwangbang had something again Jung Tae and was trying to get rid of him without having to do it themselves as Jung Tae was his "Son". In the mean time Aoki Doyama (the guy who gave Gaya the tip when she had to battle that one guy back in the day) he is in town and lets Gaya know that she needs to make more progress or it will be her life. Of course you can see he is in love with her so, I am wondering about that statement. Also while digging up info about Shin Jung Tae, Aoki Doyama is told of Ok Reyon's situation from the past when she killed ol' boy who was obviously of importance so I am nervous about her fate.
How cute are Jung Tae and Ok Reyeon? How hilarious was it when he walked in on Ok Reyeon about to get a shot of some medicine in her booty. And then he acts rather regular about seeing her butt saying he saw it as a child. They are becoming a loving couple so now I feel like I need to hold on to my seat because the more loving they become the more likely their relationship will have a tragic fate. So we are at Club Shanghai's grand opening and the rumor is that Leader Mo will fight Shin Jung Tae. Of course Hwangbang threatens to have Leader Mo's whole family murdered if he doesn't fight and beat Jung Tae. So Leader Mo is in a predicament as he has to think about his conscience as if was Jung Tae's father who saved him years ago in which he had debt to Jung Tae.
This drama takes me through a lot changes, so many FEELZ coming over me. GREAT Actors, GREAT characters!!! Next Week we will see episodes 17/18, which actually makes me sad as this is a 24 episode drama. So we are getting so close to the end. :-( I really don't know what will happen in the end. I really want Shin Jung Tae to live see that his sister didn't die, and marry Ok Reyeon living happily in some part of Asia. But that is just my wishful thinking... We should prepare for more fights!  

K-Drama Actor Spotlight: Kim Sung Oh

It seems like all of Korea can be seen in Inspiring Generation. Everytime I turn around I am like oh wait he's from *Insert Drama here*.  I think I already mentioned Kim Sung Oh but this time I decide to spot light him.

I know him from When A Man Loves (2013), where he was the older brother of  a young man who had fallen for the boss' "girl". The boss played by Song Seung Heon was also besties with Kim Sung Oh's character who had gone to jail instead on Song Seung Heon. This is apart the drama to unfold as the younger brother puts everything together.

Kim Sung Oh was also in the Kdrama, Secret Garden (2010). This is one of the dramas that I have heard so much about yet still haven't taken the time to marathon. Apparently the main theme of  Secret Garden is a body swap where the main characters pull a "Freaky Friday" and must live each others lives.

He is also well known for the KMovie, The Man From Nowhere which can currently be seen on Netflix.( I think I'll watch tonight or sometime soon.)  Kim Sung Oh plays a thug and apparently a playboy.

Although he is a great actor, what really caught  my attention was the fact that he has light eyes. Lights aren't eve my thing, but WOW!


 Kim Sung Oh has lots of other roles on his list of work and I am sure the list will grow after his role on Inspiring Generation.

Inspiring Generation Episodes 13/14 The Feelz... The Fights...The Frienemies!!!!

OMO OMO OMO OMO OMO!!!!

Inspiring Generations is reaching a boiling point.  First off episode 13…. FEELZ!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry this one is a SPOILER for sure so if you are not watching then don’t read this, if you watch regularly then go ahead and read this to relive all the FEELZ!!! For instance as I mentioned before EPISODE 13!!!! Shin Jung Tae basically proposed to Ok Reyeon saying that he wanted to live the rest of his days beside her and then they shared an intimate kiss that I can’t be jealous about because I totally “ship” Shin Jung Tae and Ok Reyeon.

One thing that everyone seems to realizes in both episodes 13/14 is that  Deguchi Gaya is definately the one who killed Shin Jung Tae's Father (previous owner of Shanghai apparently). Luckily for Gaya she is using the right to claim that she did it as by request from the deceased as he had been attacked by someone and was dying slowly. He wanted his life ended so not to be in tortured in agony of internal bleeding. On the other side Gaya realizes who attacked Jung Tae's father, which brings in the irony of the drama. Evidence shows that the Assistant Leader of Hwangbang was the one who beat Jung Tae's father and in further scenes, the leader of Hwangbang and the assistant leader pretty much say they did it during a conversation together. All the while Jung Tae doesn't know or realize any of this. How about how Jung Tae barges into Gaya's spot and fights/beats all her guys like its nothing???

And when he goes to her and she says she killed his father that look on his face was like he had gone mad, I really didn't know if he wanted to kill her or kiss her LOL!!!! Gaya tells him that she always believed that he was truthful in the fact that his father hadn't killed her father, which is evidence that Jung Tae is in her heart. But I am wondering if he is done with the Feelz he once had for her or is he just needing time to get his head right about all of it? I am really wondering about their fates. What will come of them? Who will live? Who will die? Will Jung Tae be with the sweet loving Ok Reyeon or will he die with Gaya because I have a feeling she has an ill fate ahead. I think alot of characters will die. And since when does the Princess of Il Gook Hwae tell the enemy to go become the owner of Bamgsamtong???

Now in Episode 14 Jung Jae Hwa asks Shin Jung Tae to work under him in which Jung Tae is like Wae? Before they can get into it the others run to tell Jung Jae Hwa that the "police" are out beating people and asking for papers which is a surprise because these particular "police" don't usually do it on that particular day. Especially since the other group was doing it on the same day. The Leader of Hwangbang ordered that to show Jung Jae Hwa who was the true owner of Bamgsamtong. Of course when Jung Tae sees the police beating all the people, he goes into action and starts fight the police. He would have gotten away with it if that dummy Jung Jae Hwa hadn't of sucker punched him and allowed the police to grab him and says that he should be put in federal pen. Unfortunately for Jung Jae Hwa the people of Bamgsamtong saw Jung Tae the way he saw his father, as a hero. Now the chick that hangs with Ok Reyeon who Jung Jae Hwa wants to get with is sketchy because she tells him the only way for him to become the owner of Bamgsamtong is to kill Jung Tae. Yet she also is the one who treats Jung Tae's wounds and knows that Ok Reyeon is in love with him so what gives??? I swear the only person who truely loves Jung Tae is Ok Reyeon. Shinichi makes his way to Shanghai as word goes out that Gaya let Jung Tae walk in and out of her spot alive. Excuse me but does it seem like Shinichi and that one Military dude seem to be in love with Gaya????? Seems like they want to protect her for personal reasons than for Il Gook Hwae.  The military guy who has now become a public affairs officer shows up, with Shinichi comes Dgoo and the last scenes Shinchi and the assistant leader of Hwang Bang fight and during this fight Dgoo whispering in Jung Tae's ear about how the assistants fighting style creates a terrible bruise on the chest, which is the same bruise Jung Tae's father had, on his chest.... so now Jung Tae has the idea in his head, in the meantime, Gaya is questioning Hwang Bang about the death of her mother.

By the way... its so hard keeping up with characters' names.... GEESH!!!

Inspiring Generation Episode 11/12 review... SO MANY FEELZ!!!!

Shin Jung Tae finally realizes  what kind of man his father was and forgives him for abandoning him, his sister and his mother. Since Poong Cha and his father passed Jung Tae has shown a lot of emotions, which means Kim Hyun Joong has had to find this place in his acting skills and he has been successful. Previously Jung Tae broke down over Poong Cha, but last night he basically collasped at his father's funeral.

Unfortunately Jung Tae is still unaware that all these gangs are using him as a pawn to gain or maintain power. Episode 12 proves that to all of them Jung Tae is pretty much expendable.

Now I have a PREDICTION about Gaya/Jung Tae/ Ok Reyeon....

Gaya  and Jung Tae won't be together, because Gaya is probably gonna be the reason Jung Tae dies or  appears to die. If Jung Tae dies the story will end with Ok Reyeon finding out in the end that Jung Tae always loved her or they will be together.

THIS IS JUST A PREDICTION!!!! 

 Oh and Episode 12 gave us an explanation for the sudden disappearance of Kim Soo Ok. Ok Reyeon says: "That man that helped me also died." 

Guess the new writers couldn't think of anything spectacular.

I'm nervous about this drama. I really wanted this one to excel for Kim Hyun Joong prior to his enlistment. It seems that he will be entering the military in October 2014.

Maybe he will put out more music before he goes in, or maybe SS501 will have another special reunion concert.

One can always wish/hope/pray!!!

Kim Jae Wook drops out of Inspiring Generation

 After getting over my disbelief and doing some research it appears Kim Jae Wook has dropped out of Inspiring Generation.

According to www.kdramastars.com his management has this to say: "Due to inevitable circumstances, we've decided to drop out.  We're sorry because you must have had high expectations.  We're trying to come back soon with a great piece so please look forward to more with a patient mind.  We hope you continue to support "Generation of Youth.'"

Now I really didn't want to believe this as his storyline was just getting good and I was just beginning to like his character, but after doing a little research and checking his official facebook page, it appears this is very true.

According to Kpopstarz.com  Kim  Jae Wook said: "They say it takes time for an actor to feel comfortable acting again after his release from the military, but I thought I would be an exception. It turns out, however, that I do need time, and I′m still trying to adjust not only to acting but also to being a member of society again." Kim Jae Wook enlisted in the military  July 2011 to complete the mandatory 21 months of service. He was discharged April 2013.  This could have still been a problem for Kim Jae Wook as there are many fighting scenes and some violence, of course I don't know how much the South Korean Military gets in such situations I am sure they practice with guns and such but all seems quiet. Of course unless you have been in the military on does not know the changes that takes place in ones life after joining the military.

Before Kim Jae Wook left the show it was announced that there would be some changes with the writers as in the head writer left and a new writer replaced this head writer. More about the writing switch up can be found at http://www.dramabeans.com/2014/02/age-of-feeling-makes-sudden-writer-switch/ .

Fans were just getting to like Kim Jae Wook's character,Kim Soo-ok,  as he plays the second male lead (love interest) to the character Ok Reyeon who although in love with Kim Hyun Joong's Shin Jung Tae was beginning to cozy up to Kim Soo-ok.

Kim Jae Wook is known for his role in the drama Coffee Prince.

Inspiring Generation (Age of Feeling) is considered Kim Hyun Joong's big comeback to drama as he hasn't been in a drama since 2010's Playful Kiss.

Inspiring Generation Episode 9/10 Weekly review SPOILERS!

Shin Jung Tae....GEESH!!! As soon as he makes friends, he makes enemies.

Ok so first Poong Cha did not kill Dobi leader Hwang Bong-Sik, he just put him in a sleeper hold, because he knew that he would have stopped him from going to the Ill Gook Hwa camp to get Jung Tae. OH MY GOD the reactions from Hwang Bong Sik and Shin Jung Tae when they found out Poong Cha was gone. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I mean!! I have never heard a man scream like a female in that way before, I was totally unprepared for Hwang Bong Sik's reaction.
 Shin Jung Tae....

The FEELZ... even though Kim Hyun Joong is my bias I am still looking at his acting very closely as he has been criticized in the past for not doing well, which I wonder how they could have criticized him for Ji Hoo (Boys Over Flowers), I think he did well as the romantic aloof  prodigy, because that is who he is AND Baek Seung Jo (Playful Kiss) is a non-romantic aloof prodigy SAME thing if not more so as Kim Hyun Joong has been noted to have said that he is not all into the romantic lovey dovey. So Shin Jung Tae is actually a challenge as he is not a gangster or fighter. BUT he is still aloof. I think that is just a male lead trait. I am watching closely, which is why I have been upset that Kim Hyun Joong wasn't previously in many scenes. Now I am seeing more and basically when I am watch Inspiring Generation I am watching Shin Jung Tae NOT Kim Hyun Joong. This is good!!! 

HOW ABOUT I was right about the fact that even though there was an adult Shin Jung Tae we still weren't caught up... they even showed all of episode 1's introduction scenes.
I would just like to say that I am totally disgusted in the fact that  Gaya loves Shin Jung Tae AND worst that Shin Jung Tae loves Gaya. We know what happens in such situations, being that this drama is all about fighting and troubles, it seems that there will be a tragic ending.... do you think the Kdrama world will do this to us? They did it to us with 49 Days, remember that ending with the characters standing at the graves of the ones they loved? Of course Jung Tae still has to discover the whereabouts of his sister Cheng Ah.

How about my discovery... There are soooooo many characters involved in this drama and it seems like I keep finding connections to other dramas, like Song Jae Rim who I noted in the review of Episode 8. 
First I should mention Sunbae Jung Ho Bin who plays Wang Baek-San. He was also in Boys Over Flowers. But as Shin Jung Tae meets the guy who had been his father's right hand man, Jung Jae-Hwa, played by, Kim Sung-Oh I thought to myself: Wait I know him from something....Was he in the drama When A Man Loves? I was right. This is a HUGE cast so of course there will be connections to other dramas. 

How about the reunion with Ok Reyeon? She is the that nice sweet girl who would like him to stop fighting, unfortunately she doesn't understand the world that he is involved in... I was so made when she sees him in the middle of the fight and screams out to stop fighting, then he gets clocked right upside the head. AISH!!!!
But I am glad that they have found each other again and I hope she doesn't mess him up any more but I am sure she will...

His facial expression is priceless when he sees her. Like I said this is not like Kim Hyun Joong. When I am watching Inspiring Generation I see Shin Jung Tae. When the show is over I scream out SHIN JUNG TAE!!!!!!!!!!! When its Tuesday and I patiently await Wednesday I am like omg I can't wait to see Shin Jung Tae! When I am listening to SS501 I am like Kim Hyun Joong is my Bias. I love Kim Hyun Joong. My point is that if I can separate the character from the actor then he must be doing a good job. From some of the articles that come out of Korea, the drama is doing well in ratings, but that is not all because of Kim Hyun Joong. Its a great show! But then again I am bias LOL!!!! 

Shin Jung Tae is VERY Popular!!! Episode 8

First I would like to say that I apologize to those who read/follow my blog and check for updates. Between not knowing how to put the awesomeness that is Kim Hyun Joong into words,  watching two other dramas at the same time AND having to work... getting this post going was difficult.

BUT 

Episode 8 was great and once again even with the short scene time of Kim Hyun Joong, I fall in love with him more and more each episode.

It's his eyes. 

It seems like Shin Jung Tae has become very popular among those who are both allies and enemies. Its seems like everyone was saying: Shin Jung Tae.

SPOILER...if you haven't seen episode 8 don't read any further**** Heads Up!!!

Did Poong Cha  kill Dobi leader Hwang Bong Shik?

It looks like this is a huge turning point. Shin Jung Tae kicks Shinjyo's butt, sort of... Shinjyo tries to come at Jung Tae without the sword but once Jung Tae gets it together he gets him pretty good. Unfortunately Shinjyo's swords gets Jung Tae.

Poong Cha comes to collect Jung Tae who was lying on the ground seemingly life less. SPOILER!!!! Poong Cha dies lying on Jung Tae. The scene brought tears to my eyes.

The Show ends with Mo Il-hwa coming to collect Shin Jung Tae. The last scene is Mo about to fight Gaya.

HOW ABOUT I AM JUST REALIZING THAT MO IL HWA IS PLAYED BY SONG JAE RIM OMG OMG OMG HELLO...He was only one of Cha Chi Soo's hot besties in Flower Boy Ramen Shop, AND he was the King's RIGHT HAND MAN in The Moon Embracing the Sun!!!!

 Guess I couldn't tell because of the haircut. I am so mad at myself for not realizing this... I see that he also must be in Two Weeks which is another drama I MUST WATCH!!!

BACK TO INSPIRING GENERATION....

I think my thoughts from a previous blog were correct. I was thinking that although we see adult Jung Tae, we still aren't caught up to where he was on episode one. We are still in back story. BUT I think that after episode 9 it will brings us to the present (well not our present but Jung Tae's present)

**** SPOILER****
What about Ok Reyeon? Who did she accidentally kill?  Well I guess Wednesday we will have our answers!!!


OH an anyone in love with Second Male Lead yet???

If not let me help you out:

Inspiring Generation: Weekly Review/ OMG KIM HYUN JOONG is the best

I would like to do this rationally, but after tonight's episode of Inspiring Generation I am trying to just contain myself. I've never been so excited to see Wednesday/Thursday in my life. ESPECIALLY after I saw this photo show up on instagram. I was like OMG I need for this to happen. I want Shin Jung Tae and Ok Reyeon to be together, but this show is different as I can't follow with themes that correlate to Korean Dramas. For instance the male lead, that would be Shin Jung Tae, well he treats Ok Reyeon poorly, but technically Gaya is the Female lead, so technically that's who he should be with, right? So I could be looking at a reverse of the Male Lead/ Male Second lead syndrome. If you aren't aware of these things PLEASE SEE Boys Over Flowers IMMEDIATELY. 

Understand that the Second Male Lead is FOREVER ALONE.... it seems Kim Hyun Joong began as the second male lead and knows that feeling. In this case Gaya seems to be our Female Lead and Ok Reyeon is our second female which means there is a STRONG possibility that she will be the forever alone OR end up with that random really hot dude, Kim Soo-Ok (Kim Jae-Wook) (which I mean YUM)!!! Yeah BTW he is a scene stealer!!! (Kim Hyun Joong Hwaiting!!!!) I really would like Ok Reyeon and Shin Jung Tae to be together but I feel like this is about to be like House of Flying Daggers and everybody is gonna die.... Ooooo  joesonghabnida (Sorry) for such a prediction. I guess I am preparing myself for the worst. Last time we saw Shin Jung Tae buy a ring intended for Ok Reyon, and this episode we see them kiss passionately (Better than all of Kim Hyun Joong's on screen kisses like ever, who has he been practicing with and I am Jelly!!) BUT He pisses her off saying Gaya in is his sleep and then Ok Reyeon's mom pleads with him to sort of leave Ok Reyeon alone. I wonder if he will listen to her? Ok Reyeon also sort of tells Gaya to leave Jung Tae alone. This drama will go on... we have 17 more episodes to go.... in the meantime I would just like to say: 

KIM HYUN JOONG!!!!!!!! 

Is he not the best ever. I am so surprised to see him like this, I barely recognize him. I mean not just in the appearance I mean he has been sporting this look since the end of June and through the summer with the release of the mini album Unbreakable. I had also gotten use to the body, he's been showing off those muscle also since the summer, but this character... Shin Jung Tae really is NOT a flower boy at all. There is always action, he is obviously going to have cuts and bruises throughout this drama. (OMG when he practically crawled to Ok Reyeon and then says: Why did you wait? Its Cold. OMG!!! FEELZ BUT the best scene was when Ok Reyeon's friend came into the room where Shin Jung Tae was lying asleep and shirtless and she like sort grabs his chest lol, I was like did she just fan girl???) I am excited about all the action, Kim Hyun Joong is not the whole show (which kind of sucks). Remember City Hunter with Lee Min Ho, well that was a simple drama where he was almost ALWAYS seen on screen, but Inspiring Generation has so many characters that honestly we hardly get a chance to see Kim Hyun Joong.When we do see him he is fighting, recovering from fighting or saying a few lines here or there. Honestly its hard to keep up with all the characters and storylines because there are several it seems like every one has something going on. At the end of the day, Kim Hyun Joong's eyes are so gorgeous he really doesn't need lines he could just like stand there (shirtless).  Even with less scenes (So far) he is still amazing (BIAS)!!!

Inspiring Generation Weekly review: Episodes 5/6

This is EXACTLY how episode 5/6 of Inspiring Generation has me feeling. Episode 6 had me standing in the middle of the floor shouting at the TV, falling to the floor and near tears. I couldn't handle it. I don't want to go into detail about either episode, I just want to say that I ship Ok Reyeon and Shin Jung Tae. Seriously I didn't like Gaya from the start. I also adore characters who love someone who doesn't always love them back. I would have been ok with Gaya if she hadn't of gone all "I will kill your father in front of you," on Shin Jung Tae.  Ok Reyeon has been the perfect friend/girlfriend/bestie who waits for Shin Jung Tae, but episode 6 seems like another change is brewing. First I am not sure if we have really reach present day. Remember on the first episode Shin Jung Tae was told to go back to Shanghai by that guy (who most KDrama fans know as the guy who helped Goo Jun Pyo out in Boys Over Flowers, sorry I am terrible with names) we see adult Shin Jung Tae begin to reminisce about young Shin Jung Tae, but I am not certain the reminiscing is over. That is really beside the point. We are only on episode 6 and I want to hurt someone, I am not sure who.... I guess I relate with Ok Reyeon as I have found myself crushing on dudes only to be easily let down. Shin Jung Tae is not letting her down easily he is throwing imaginary darts at her heart due to his inability to walk away from a fight. I don't know how this one will work itself out....and every episode adds another character and its almost confusing. I am also nervous about the Japanese/Chinese/Korean war type stuff going on as well...seems like this is the prelude to the Korean War. Also not one episode goes by where Shin Jung Tae doesn't fight. It's terrible. Parts of me wishes that Ok Reyeon can be like Oh Ha Ni from Playful Kiss

and love Shin Jung Tae even though he keeps messing up (where as Baek Seung Jo was just a jerk). Part of me also wants her to walk away. Which is why I am not sure if the flashback is truely finished. I guess it is. I don't know. But the situation that Shin Jung Tae has gotten into at the end of episode 6 could be why we see him as a loner in episode 1. I don't know. I really can theorize right now. My head could explode right now. This drama is great but it could be too much for me to handle. I am feeling the same way I felt as I watched City Hunter, which I marathon over the course of two days. Fortunately for my HEALTH Inspiring Generation is new and airing weekly, other wise I would probably faint at work for lack of rest and like high blood pressure from the extreme changes in emotions.

Things that happened in episode 5/6

Even with scars Kim Hyun Joong is gorgeous. Something about his makes him shine. Maybe he really truely is Mr. Perfect. He has the best eyes EVER!!!

Weekly Review Inspiring Generation Episode 4

AIGOO!!!! 

WOW
Inspiring Generation....

Where do I begin? I wasn't quite sure how this episode was going to keep the suspense rising and going for the viewer. Those feelings between Gaya and Jung Tae have changed drastically due to a misunderstanding that neither one of them was expecting. I will say that Jung Tae's father and Gaya's father are intertwined in some way, but I think there is so much more to the story between the fathers and the mothers who are both dead or so we think.

One thing I will give away about episode 4 (some what of a spoiler so watch out) we see Gaya and Jung Tae train for the fate of their futures. Gaya trains with the mysterious guy I call a samurai and Jung Tae trains to jump, well, trains.

This drama is amazing in that all these characters became related in some way, more complexed than that of the Lee Min Ho drama, The Heirs, and additional characters are added every episode. I can see in the end everyone will more than likely have it in for Shin Jung Tae and he will probably find an ally in an unlikely place.

I am feeling more and more sorry for Ok Reyeon as it is obvious she is someone Jung Tae loves but in that "you are like a sister to me way."

Shin Jung Tae does succeed in jumping a train only for some interesting events to occur where we see the Dobinoris save him with the help of another group in which they become indebted to them. Unfortunately Jung Tae wakes up and receives bad news.

Towards the end of the episode, and adult Gaya is now seen as well as the adult Shin Jung Tae.  I will truely miss seeing  Kwak Dong Yun. He was excellent in showing us how Shin Jung Tae developed to be the man he becomes bringing us to Kim Hyun Joong's Shin Jung Tae.

In the last scenes of episode 4 (spoiler) we see Kim Hyun Joong (fangirling over here) now Shin Jung Tae walk through a building beating men up the whole time. I couldn't help but be reminded of him as Yoon Ji Hoo in Boys Over Flowers and how he and F4 would always come to the rescue. Kim Hyun Joong can't help but to be a beautiful guy. I mean in this drama he is really trying to go for a tough guy, but we know him as the calm Yoon Ji Hoo. Its hard erasing all those flower boy thoughts away. Even though through his music he has had many identities. He certainly showed a rougher image with Breakdown and I know he was trying show a tough boy image with Unbreakable, but his pretty face makes us forget that image. We see a tough guy image, but we know he doesn't have a tough guy heart. This is true for Shin Jung Tae and his heart will lead him to trouble.

I am excited to see Kim Hyun Joong in more action scenes and I am excited to see more of his acting as well. I am interested to see the characters unfold as revenge and love are both apparent in this drama. I really wonder in the end will this be anything like City Hunter.
