Three Dads and a Mom

"Three Dads and a Mom" or "One Mom and Three Dads" 16 episodes Song Na Yung's husband died before he could see their baby. Alone and pregnant, Na Young is taken care by her husband's three best friends. But unknown to her one of the three is actually the biological father of her baby. It's funny at first but I lost interest after about episode 3. It's too long and after all the postpartum and baby blues, all the chemistry went to the drain. Still their sacrifices are inspiring and I enjoyed Jo Hyun Jae's and Shih Sung Rok's characters as the otaku and policeman. I'm really not a big fan of soaps in general. Our country imports a lot of kdrama and I've found out about this when I saw the trailer in our local channel. This is the very first kdrama that I've finished.

Happy Anniversary!

Check the updated post here , By ayreesa Wee it's been a year already! Holy Grail My most favorite when I started watching animes was "Fushigi Yugi". Over the years I kept on looking for animes similar to "Fushigi Yugi" but I couldn't find one because I didn't know what I was looking for and my only resource then is AXN-Asia and Animax. In January 2007 (9 years after Fushigi Yugi) I picked a random title from Memento's site . I have no idea what the anime is about. All I care is that I want to watch an anime that is short and has an ending and it was "Ouran High School Host Club". Kirimi's statement is a phenomenal line that will later produce 180 posts, almost 50,000 hits and counting. It also paved the way for me to read mangas and watch Asian dramas. I couldn't also believe the only drama that I've watched "Meteor Garden", prior to Ouran is also a reverse harem. There's something about a girl and a lov

Underground Kids

By ayreesa "Gakuen Onmitsu Torimono" ("Underground Kids") 1 volume- complete by Nana Shiiba Kimi hires the services of the school's secret organization because she think someone is after her. This is an earlier short of Nana Shiiba of "Animal Jungle". Same cute art but I like story of the "Fake" extra better. I wonder if the last part has "I'll protect you" theme.

Fall Animes 2008

There's no follow up news from " Heart no Kuni no Alice ~Wonderful Wonder World" yet. But I found two 'reverse harem' looking animes. Both are based from light novels and I think both have a heroine named Lydia. By ayreesa Hakushaku to Yosei " is set in Victorian era. Lydia is a "fairy doctor" who joins Edgar J. C. Ashenbert, the "Earl of Blue Knights", and his team on a quest. It premiers on September 28. By ayreesa "Tytania" is a space opera about a soldier who escapes and rebels against the Tytanian empire. I think this is going to be some kind of a sci-fi shonen. It airs starting October 9. If my hunches are wrong, you didn't get it from me. XD Click on the titles for the official sites.

Jitterbug

By ayreesa "Jitterbug" from "S no Yuiitsu M no Zettai " 1 volume-complete by Rei Toma Akane's mom died and she suddenly finds herself with a father and three brothers. This is the second story in the five oneshots of Toma Rei. I like all the stories that I can't decide which one I like best. She's good in bringing out the emotions from such a compressed time. That's why I think she'll fare well with a longer series like "Boku wa Kiss de Uso o Tsuku."

Freshest News: Star's Lover

Choi Ji-Woo of "Winter Sonata" and "Stairway to Heaven" makes a comeback (in a potential reverse harem) "Oh! My Goddess" to be aired this December in Korea. Synopsis from Dramawiki: "Lee Ma Ri is a famous actress that is actively pursued by four men. The four men come from different backgrounds and have different aspirations. One is a literature graduate student who dreams of becoming a writer, another is a famous photographer, the third is the heir to a major chaebol family, and the last man chasing after Ma Ri is a young executive who works at a media corporation." Update: The working title has been changed to "Star's Lover" .

Boku wa Kiss de Uso wo Tsuku

By ayreesa "Boku wa Kiss de Uso wo Tsuku" ("By Way of A Kiss, I Lied" or "I Lied with a Kiss") 5 chapters-ongoing by Rei Toma Meiko always stays in the library. While dozing off, someone stole a kiss from her. Who among the four witnesses is the culprit? I hate reading new mangas especially if it's really promising because waiting is a sweet torture. You'll be hooked from the very start so take your time and savor the characters, art and scenarios of each page.
