My comment :
Kalau di Hollywood lagi demam Glee, di Korea Selatan lagi demam Dream High ...
Cerita remaja di sekolah seni memang selalu menarik untuk ditonton.  Musik enak, lagu enak, suara bagus, dance yg indah ..  Kata teman-teman saya, Dream High ini biasa saja, tapi kata saya Dream High ini bagus lho ... gak bosan nontonnya

Cerita : bagus kok ... dan karakter tiap tokohnya, mulai dari 6 siswa dan siswi (Hyemi, Baek Hee, Pil Sook, Jin Gook, Jason dan Sam Dong) sampai ke guru-gurunya semua menarik dan unik.  Masing-masing punya masalah dan diselesaikan dengan masuk akal dan tidak lebay.  Sederhana dan enak disimak.

Cast : keren ... cocok, chemistry-nya dapet.  Masih pada muda-muda tapi not bad. Suara bagus, dance keren. Pas deh dengan peran masing-masing.

OST : enak banget banget ...

Ending : Happy lah ...

Rating : 9/10

Verdict : Recommended!

My Comment :
Cerita : Kalau suka family drama yg tidak terlalu panjang dan tidak bertele-tele, saya rekomendasi K-Drama ini.  Menurut saya, cerita itu harus dijalin sedemikian rupa supaya enak ditonton.  Nah, drama ini jalinan ceritanya bagus nih.  Kombinasi antara komedi, romance, dan melodramanya serasi proporsinya.  Jalan keluar permasalahannya tidak maksa, masih masuk akal.

Casting : Castingnya bagus.  Banyak pemain muda dan baru, tapi aktingnya not bad.
OST : enak juga
Ending : Happy
Rating : 10/10

Food : Tekko

Tekko

Iga Bakar Saus Madu : Katanya ini menu baru. Karena sausnya dari campuran madu, maka rasanya manis.  Waktu itu makannya pakai beras merah jadi rasanya kurang ok lantaran beras merah kan pera tuh rasanya.  Andaikan dimakan dengan nasi putih biasa yg pulen, mungkin lebih enak rasanya.  Mau pilih enak atau sehat?

Iga Garang Asam : Rasanya manis asam pedas segar ... pakai tomat hijau, cabe rawit utuh, cabe hijau besar, belimbing wuluh (?), nanas (?) hm.... enak.  Lagi hujan gerimis, nyeruput kuah ini rasanya nikmat ... plus nasi ngepul-ngepul.  Sisanya tinggal balung-balung yg guede-guede ...

Jamur Goreng Penyet : Ini jamur gede digoreng tepung, ditaburin bawang putih goreng, plus lalapan, lalu ditaruh di atas sambal.  Yg mantap memang sambalnya ...

My comment :
Puas deh nonton serial ini. Ceritanya menarik, ringan, dan menghibur.  Komedinya segar, dan romance-nya asik banget.  Jalan cerita mengalir lancar dan makin ditonton, makin senang ... Karena rada fantasi, jadi ada hal-hal yg tak mungkin, seperti misalnya "switch body" dan satu lagi yg saya tidak sreg ... yaitu amnesia. Cape deh .... hari gini masih ada issue amnesia ...

Pemain-pemainnya pas banget.  Chemistry Hyun Bin dan Ha Ji Won cocok sekali. Keren nih film ...

Yg juga OK adalah OST-nya ...

Sebenernya mau kasih rating full 10/10, tapi karena ada switch body (walaupun bikin film ini jadi lucu setengah mati) dan ada amnesia, jadi saya kasih ponten 8/10 aja ...

Anyway .... This series is highly recommended.
Dijamin bakal demen dan puaaaaassssss

Oya endingnya happy tapi gak maksa ....

Dufan 19 Feb 2011 - Makin Berumur, Makin Penakut

Makin berumur, makin penakut ....

Hari Sabtu tgl 19 Februari yg lalu, saya, adik saya, keponakan saya, dan mama saya pergi ke Dufan.  Sudah lama sekali tidak ke sana.  Kapan ya terakhir ke sana? Sudah bertahun-tahun yg lalu rasanya ...

Ticket masuk Dufan per orang Rp 150.000,- di luar tiket masuk Taman Impian Jaya Ancol.  Untuk manula pemegang KTP seumur hidup, tiketnya gratis.  Berasa mahal ya ... Waktu Dufan baru dibuka tahun 1985, tiket masuknya Rp 22.000,- kalau hari Senin Rp 11.000,-  Waktu itu saya kelas 1 SMA.  Kalau ke Dufan sukanya main permainan yg ekstrem - makin seram, makin seru .... dan bisa main berulang-ulang.  Kalau belum naik Niagara sampai 5X, belum mau pulang ... Paling sering ke Dufan bareng sohib waktu SMA, Meryanti namanya .... (kira-kira dia masih ingat gak ya ...???)

Tapi sekarang ... ternyata .... makin berumur, jadi makin penakut he he he ... kita malah pilih permainan yg dulu tidak terpikir sama sekali untuk dimainkan, seperti misalnya Bianglala (Giant Wheel) yg setengah mati bikin boring karena cuma putar-putar naik turun, Turangga-rangga (Komidi Putar Kuda-kudaan) yg muka kudanya menurut saya tidak imut sama sekali, Gajah Bledug yg cuma bisa terbang rendah, Poci-poci (cangkir putar) yg bikin pusing dan mual.

Niagara, Kora-kora, Tornado, Hysteria ... hanya dipandang dan dipotret saja ... Saya menghibur diri, sembari bilang di dalam hati, "Ah ... ini karena saya pergi sama anak kecil dan orangtua saja ... Nanti kalau pergi sama anak-anak ABG yg dare devil ... juga berani lagi lah ..."   Semoga saja ... he he he ...

Hysteria

Kora-Kora

Tornado

Oya ... khusus untuk Istana Boneka, dari dulu sampai sekarang tidak pernah dilewatkan tuh ... lumayan buat ngadem di saat hari panas terik.

Inilah wahana yg kita mainkan ...
1. Rumah Miring : oh please ....
2. Istana Boneka : adem ayem ...

 

3. Poci-poci : pusiiiiiiiiing .... pantesan sepi, jarang yg mau naik mainan ini

 

4. Gajah Bledug : Michelle dan mama saya 2X naik gajah ini. Mulanya yg warna pink, tapi ternyata tuasnya rusak sehingga tidak bisa terbang, cuma mutar-mutar di darat saja.  Jadi Michelle kesal dan minta diulang tanpa mengantri. Pindah ke gajah kuning yg bisa terbang, tapi ternyata si gajah kuning ini hanya bisa terbang di ketinggian menengah saja.  Mustinya naik si gajah biru yg bisa terbang paling tinggi. ha ha ha ...

5. Bianglala : 10 X berputar naik turun ... boring juga jadinya ... tapi kesempatan untuk memotret dari udara

6. Turangga-Rangga : 2 session naik kuda-kudaan ... gara-gara Michelle belum puas ...

Panas terik ... beli air mineral entah sudah berapa botol. Jajan ice cream Magnum Wall's.  Dan berakhir nongkrong di Starbucks.  Dengan ticket masuk, beli cream coffee, ice coffee dan 1 jenis lagi (lupa), cuma nambah Rp 10.000,-

Bukan iklan, bukan promosi ....

Kita di Dufan dari sejak buka, yaitu jam 11:00 sampai jam 15:00.  Sudah capek dan kegerahan, kita pulang deh.
