Lee Jiah Transforms into a Violinist
for Beethoven Virus…

Sujini Lee Jiah transformed into a violinist for the upcoming Wed/Thurs drama Beethoven Virus set to air 9/3 of this year. She is casted as the female lead, a violinist named Durumi. On the 14th at dawn they finished filming the first scene in the subway.
She looks gorgeous, I love her outfit. I’m wishing a video of this would pop up somewhere so I can see how much better at violin she is than jgs on the trumpet lol I can’t imagine she’ll be a lot worse ^^;;
Anyways, Kim Myung Min as Kang Ma Ae
I wonder how the drama will fare against Moon Geun Young-Park Shin Yang’s Painter of the Wind (Although I’m not sure that’s going to happen seeing as it still doesn’t seem to be set o.o)
New Moon Review
SPOILERS AHEAD

New Moon
So I finally got around to reading New Moon by Stephanie Meyers, book 2 of the twilight series.
I like it. I enjoyed it more than I did the first one actually. I found the whole first book a little slow and not that interesting (except when she got attacked by the vampires) but I figured I would give the rest of the books a try because if nothing else, I wanted to see what would happen to the characters as well as see if it would get better.
I think seeing movie stills biased my view of Edward so I kept on imagining Robert Pattinson with all his white stage makeup face as Edwards which sorry to say didn’t really cut it for me. So I would recommend you to read the book or read it with your own version of Edward since that seemed to work better for people. Edward is not really in this book and that didn’t bother me but just a warning for you Edward fans.
So the story starts off with it being Bella’s birthday and she had this horrible nightmare that she got old and wrinkly while Edward stayed as perfect as he was (every woman’s nightmare). At her birthday party she gets hurt and starts bleeding and that causes all the Cullens to look at her with hunger and Edward blames it on himself and decides that it’s not safe for Bella and leaves her. And she becomes dysfunctional and depressed and that’s like 1/3 of the book. Then she thinks that danger will cause her to hear Edward’s voice and she decides to get a motorcycle which leads her to Jacob. Who to me was a totally lovable character. He’s basically the opposite of Edward – in every sense of the word – warm awkward sunny werewolf etc. Of course for some reason Bella seems to attract trouble and Victoria, James’ mate from Twilight, is on her trail thinking it more fair to kill Edward’s mate in exchange for killing hers. Although I was disappointed that she never made her appearance but I suppose she will make an appearance in the next book.
Jacob’s werewolf story comes as no surprise since even though he was in denial about their existence in the last book, the readers not so much. I mean is it that hard to believe that werewolves exist in a world that vampires do? Predictable but I found it a lot more engrossing than the vampire tale from twilight. I found Sam Uley’s story a little sad and I found him intriguing although almost all of the characters are pretty one-dimensional.
The ending, like in Twilight, was the most entertaining part of the book and I thought it was really intriguing how Bella was received by the Volterra so obviously she has some unknown power of her own. My favorite part of the book was Edward’s proposal. I thought it was cute. Overall the book held its own and I enjoyed Meyer’s humor.
I really want to read Midnight Sun because I feel like it would be a lot more fun. ^_^ I love different perspectives
