His body is actually possessed by the spirit of Kim Young Soo (Kim In Kwon) who was worked to death. Meanwhile, Hong Nan (Oh Yeon Seo) is a beautiful woman, but her spirit is possessed by a tough guy, Han Ki Tak (Kim Soo Ro). At the same time, Shin Da Hye (Lee Min Jung) is a beautiful housewife, but her husband suddenly dies. She falls into a love triangle with Lee Hae Joon and a promising store employee Jung Ji Hoon (Yoon Park).

I know about this k-drama from my friend's post on Path. She was just posting it's poster with not much on caption, she only said that this k-drama is hilarious. Seeing on the picture she posted, I don't really get it, and there you go, the Curious George in me saying that I have to search for this, online! I tap on my smartphone's browser, I google it! DING DONG! Once I found it, I read it carefully, not really understand what's it all about, some article only mention that it's about someone who work his ass off to die, and come back to life, that's it. Duh! I mean, really? There're some k-drama with the same plot, coming back to life after you die, and given a little amount of time to finish the unfinished business, right?

At that time (while googling), which interest me was Rain, yes, Rain is one of it's main actor here! You know, he's hot and etc :P. This is another poster I saw online, yet I still don't understand what it means LOL, who care, right, it's just a poster. 

My curiosity grows larger and I can't help it, I need to watch it's 1st episode to decide whether I'll watch it's whole episode or I wont.

Watching episode 1, with a hope to get the hilarious side of this drama, but ended up disappointed, why? because there was none. I get upset watching the first episode, I know it's only one episode and mostly talks about their characters, their goals, right? First episode, flash back to two days before our main characters die, their family, their work, why they die, how they die, and those who involve on their death. 

I'm not saying that it was boring, no, it's just really upset me, the manager's an asshole, the bosses boss's a jerk, gangster's, lying model, messed up ex girlfriend.. what?? yeah, I know, just mentioning those made me tired...

The interesting part was right after our two main character die and headed to a train station which they have to get on the train to go to their afterlife whether it's heaven or hell :D.

Train station scene is my most favorite where our main guys get to met Maya-ssi, she's a ticketing lady, she stamp all spirits tickets with their last destination which are Heaven or Hell. She's funny, just the way she talks, I know that she'll be something more than that.

Our two main character, one is Kim Young So, the workaholic, work his ass off to death to make a living for his family and the other is Han Gi Tak, the chef (actually he's an ex gangster), who did bad things in the past and left by the woman he loved, so you'd know which stamp goes to whom, right?? Interesting isn't it?

Yes, Young So gets a ticket to Hell and Gi Tak gets one to heaven! Confused? Don't be. Here, both of them get confused and they headed back to Maya-ssi to make sure. But all she said was, she didn't give them the wrong ticket, funny right? So there he is, Young So talks to the train station's head and ask for explanation. The answer was clear, he goes to hell because he suicide, Young So think about his family knowing he's death because of he kills himself, he regret it and in no time, he's ticket turn into a ticket heaven. Yay! 

NO YAY for me, he deserve hell for neglecting his family for work, for his asshole manager, damn it's never gonna happen!!

Right after they got their ticket to heaven, they sit side by side on the train and halfway to heaven, Young so thinks a lot about his family, about his promise to his wife, so he made a commotion by yelling that he want to get off the train. Later on, a big guy (an officer) come and ask for him to stop but Young So won't stop, Han Gi Tak act heroic here, he's truing to help Young So, but fail. They ended up running away because the officer has call backups to help him. The two reached the end of the train where their only option was to jump off of the train, so they jump thinking they can't die twice. 

They jump and land by sitting on two chair side by side in an office, in front of Maya-ssi (she's really something, I like her :D). They insist that they want to come back to life, so, Maya-ssi hand them some kind of form for them to fill in and she told them everything about going back to life. Right after she stamp those form, the two ahjussi woke up in a room, and talk to themselves. 

I enjoy this drama from the train station scene up until now, it reached its 4th episode already, You may not like the bad guy in this drama, because they have leverage which a troublesome. The funny thing is Rain's playing two characters here, one was the one who possessed by Young So's spirit and the other was him as the son of Sujin Mall's owner, both are funny guy. Han Gi Tak, return to his life inside a woman's body, he lost his ability to fight which is funny, s/he walks like a guy, one thing he didn't lost is his loyalty to his beloved family and messed up ex girlfriend. I want to see more episode where Maya-ssi has to keep the real Lee Hae Joon from the possessed one, it's going to be hilarious. :D

Detail

Title: 마담 앙트완 / Madame Antoine

Episodes: 16 (To Be Confirmed)

Broadcast network: jTBC

Broadcast period: 2016-Jan-22 to 2016-March-12

Synopsis

Go Hye Rim (Han Ye Seul) is a famous fortune-teller. She is known as “Madame Antoine” and insists that she is spiritually connected to Marie Antoinette, but that part is a lie. She is able to see through people’s stories due to her intelligence and keen sense. She dreams of having love in a romantic film. She then takes part in a psychological test project conducted by psychotherapist Choi Soo Hyun (Sung Joon). His goal is to prove that true love does not exist. Coincidentally, the name for his psychological treatment center is Madame Antoine...

It reached it's 14th episode already and I'm very thankful for it's been a torture watching this drama! You see, as it is said that this drama is about some (hate to say this, but..) stupid psychotherapist who likes to play around with some women feelings. Damn I want to punch this guy in his face sooooooooo much! Even tho he said it was for a love experiment, the experiment itself was so silly! He's got problem of his own which cause himself to doubt about true love which kind of annoying.

On his "stupid" experiment, he concluded that women will only love a man who is older than her and has a lot of money. I'm not saying that it's fully wrong, with a lot of money and good attitude, how he treated the women, is it nicely or rudely is somewhat the most important. If the guy has money but treats his girl like shit.. yeah you know what I mean, right?

After being lied over and over, which killing me and get me to think that this woman is super idiot because she's madly in love with the wrong guy, on episode 13, the woman, Go Hye Rim, FINALLY realize that everything So Hyun said to her was a lie and all he did was nothing but act (tho he said, he loves her for real-- who gonna believe that, huh?)!!! I was glad that finally she wakes up from her nightmare and that stupid psychotherapist may kiss her goodbye.. haha! Yes, I know, it was nothing, because eventually they'll end up together, like every other Korean Drama ><, happy ending is a must! It's okay, I don't care, I'm just so glad that finally, he'll feel horrible for playing with someone's feeling :D.

2 episodes left, noot expecting for another surprise because I know they'll make it right somehow. I'm guessing that So Hyun will learn from his mistake and acknowledge that true love exists, Hye Rim and So Hyun will eventually ended up together. Boring? Go see for yourself here.

No offense, but I don't like So Hyun's expression, maybe the way he smile, just doesn't feel right to me. Not cool, looks like a fake smile, maybe because of his jaw? I have no effing idea.

Ponyo

Ponyo, literally "Ponyo on the Cliff, initially titled in English as Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, is a 2008 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. It is the eight film Miyazaki directed for Ghibli and his tenth overall. The film stars the voices of Tomoko Yamaguchi, Kazuhige Nagashima, Yuki Amami, George Tokoro, Yuria Nara, Hiroki Doi, Rumi Hiiragi, Akiko Yano, Kazuko Yoshiyuki and Tomoko Naraoka. The plot centers on a goldfish named Ponyo who befriends a five-year-old human boy, Sosuke, and wants to become a human girl.

Deep under the surface of the ocean, a sea-wizard named Fujimoto (Joji Tokoro) stands at the bow of his submersible, surrounded by an air bubble and an assortment of sea creatures. They swim circles around him as he pours magic potions into the water. Out of a side porthole, a red goldfish peeks out, making sure not to be seen, before waving goodbye to her smaller siblings and swimming off to join a school of jellyfish. She rests on top of one, domed by another, as they float towards the surface and far from her home.

When she wakes up, she find herself in the harbor of a seaside town Tomonoura. When a large bottom trawler comes towards her, the goldfish swims away from the jellyfish in an attempt to escape but is quickly pulled into the mess of garbage and debris that the trawler picks up in its net. She becomes trapped withing a glass jar but manages to escape the net and make it towards shallow water. Meanwhile, a young boy named Sosuke (Hiroki Doi) runs down the hillside path from his home to the water's edge to play with his toy boat. There, he notices the goldfish stuck in the jar and breaks her out of it, though cutting his thumb in the process. As he holds the seemingly lifeless fish in his hands, she licks his wound clean. Happy that she's alive, the boy takes her back up the hills as a series of strange waves comes in and reach for him. The waves return to deeper water where Fujimoto is waiting. He is horrified to hear from them that the goldfish, his daughter, has been taken by a human.

Sosuke puts the goldfish, which he names Ponyo (Yuria Nara), in a bucket full of water and brings her with him to the car where his mother, Lisa (Tomoko Yamaguchi), is waiting to take him to school. Just before she gets in, she notices Fujimoto crossing her yard with a portable pump on his back. She scolds him for spraying what she thinks is fertilizer, though he attests it's merely pure ocean water to keep him from drying out on land, before driving off. Lisa drops Sosuke off at school before going to work at the nursing home next door. Sosuke hides Ponyo's bucket in the bushes but his secrecy doesn't go unnoticed. Kumiko (Eimi Hiraoka), a classmate, asks to see what he's hiding but snubs her nose when shown Ponyo, calling her a boring fish. Ponyo squirts water into Kumiko's face and she begins to cry. 

Startled, Sosuke goes through the side fence and meets with a few senior citizens sitting outside. While some, like Yoshie (Tomoko Naraoka) and Noriko (Tokie Hidari), adore Ponyo, bitter Toki (Kazuko Yoshiyuki) is suspicious of Ponyo's odd appearance and gets squirted in the face as well. The commotion attracts Lisa, and Sosuke rushes to the water's edge to escape punishment. However, Fujimoto's waves surround him and take Ponyo back to sea. Sosuke calls after Ponyo but is collected from water by Lisa who does her best to console him. Arriving home, Lisa is disappointed to hear that Sosuke's sailor father, Koichi (Kazushige Nagashima), is unable to come home that night. As his ship passes their hill, Sosuke sends his father a message via Morse code using his signal light. Still peeved, Lisa sends her own unfriendly message, but Sosuke manages to cheer her up.

Back underwater, Ponyo and Fujimoto have an argument, during which Ponyo refuses to let her father call her by her birth-name, "Brunhilde". She declares her name to be Ponyo and vices her desire to become human, because she has started to fall in love with Sosuke. Suddenly, using her magic, she forces herself to grow leg and arm-like appendages and start manifesting into a human, a power granted to her by the human blood she ingested when she licked Sosuke's finger.

Her alarmed father forces her to turn her back with some difficulty and goes to summon Ponyo's mother, Granmamare. Meanwhile, Ponyo, with the help of her sisters, breaks away form her father and in the chaos inadvertently uses his magic to make herself fully human. 

The huge amount of magic that she also inadvertently releases into the ocean causes an imbalance in the world, resulting in a huge tsunami. Running pell-mell over wavea of the storm, Ponyo goes back to catch up with Sosuke, who is amazed and overjoyed to see her.

Lisa is equally amazed, but takes Ponyo's transformation in stride, believing the world truly mysterious. Lisa, Sosuke, and Ponyo wait out the storm at Sosuke's house, where Ponyo learns some of the things in the human world, much enchanted by these new experiences.

Worried about the residents of the nursing home where she works, Lisa leaves to check up on them, promising Sosuke thet she will return as soon as possible. Granmamare (Yuki Amami) arrives at Fujimoto's submarine. On her way there, Sosuke's father sees and recognizes her as the Goddess of Mercy. Fujimoto notices the moon appears to be falling out of its orbit and satellites are falling like shooting stars, syptoms of the dangerous imbalance of nature that now exists. Granmamare declares that if Sosuke can pass a test, Ponyo can live as a human and the world order will be restored. A still-worried Fujimoto reminds her that if Sosuke fails the test, Ponyo will turn into sea foam.

Sosuke and Ponyo wake up to find that most of the land around the house has been covered by the ocean. Since it is impossible for Lisa to come home, the two children decide to find her. With the help of Ponyo's magic, they make Sosuke's toy pop pop boat life-size and set out across the ocean. 

Over the course of their journey, they see prehistoric fish swimming beneath them, and encounter several other evacuees in boats. After landing and finding Lisa's empty car, Ponyo and Sosuke head into a tunnel. There Ponyo loses her human form and reverts into a fish from using too much of her magical power to help Sosuke and others along the way. Meanwhile, Lisa and the residents of the nursing home are below the surface, but have been temporarily given the power to breathe underwater. 

Sosuke and Ponyo encounter Fujimoto, but Sosuke doessn't trust him due to Toki's claims and attempts to flee. However, Fujimoto captures them and takes them down to the protected nursing home.

Sosuke is reunited with Lisa and meets Granmamare, with whom Lisa has just had a long private conversation. Granmamare asks Sosuke if he can love Ponyo whether she is a fish or human. Sosuke replies that he "loves all the Ponyos." Granmamare then tells her daughter that if she chooses to become human once and for all, she will have to give up her magical powers. Ponyo agrees to this, so Granmamare encases her in a bubble and give her to Sosuke, and tells him that kissing the bubble will complete Ponyo's transformation. The balance of nature is then restored, and the previously stranded ships head back to port, including Sosuke's father's. Ponyo jumps high in the air and kisses Sosuke, transforming back into a human.
