This website, which is an opinion based website is fueled in part by your active participation either by submission of your reviews/stuff or your comments in any post, reviews, section, etc where you can find the POST A COMMENT feature.

YOUR Q's FOR MY A's

There is a FAQ [MAIN] database in this website where you will find info on how to link to this website, answers to some tech problems found in pages within this website as well as a great feature where you can post questions in relevant categories & I'll answer them. Try it out!


SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.


OFFBEAT STUFF

There is this one section in here that features offbeat stuff that are not entertainment based. The section is known as FUNN STUFF [COMMENTS & OPINIONS].

 
PERSONAL FAVOURITES

There are 3 sections in here that contain my personal favourites of all kinds. THE DDGs [COMMENTS & OPINIONS] which features specially made websites by myself with info & all related stuff of my favourite stars or stars I like to talk about, MEDIA & MUSIC FILES [DOWNLOADS] which has my favourite VODs and music files, most of them are taken from Chinese & Korean dramas & movies and some of which I am hosting for my net friends and THE STORYTELLERS [WEBSITES], where you'll find stories written by amateur writers like you and I.

Do check them all out!

Time Magazine Nov 14 issue 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Answer this question please;

What is the use of printing in BIG BOLD WORDS and publicising in every single news network there is in Korea that your biggest star is about to be the most recognised face in the world because he was on the cover of Time Magazine when this cover is only meant for the Korean Time Magazine? What then is so special about this edition when everywhere in Korea his face is already on every single cover of big time Magazines in Korea? And what is the use of publicising big big that he was interviewed and how he looked when the Malaysian edition, which is the same edition in everywhere else (cover different, content the same) indeed has an article about the Korean wave and popularity but what you can find is...

1. not one single picture of him although reportedly he took some nice pictures which you can see in the Time Magazine website but not in the magazine itself;

2. one line mention of how popular he is, maybe half a paragraph about Taegukgi and The Promise (something you already know and can read everywhere) and then nothing else;

3. no interviews. I thought at least an article by Richard Corliss about the boom of South Korea's movie/TV market and an analysis of the effect of Jang Dong Gun and his movies, something like Time did many years ago on of all people, Shu Qi but nothing;

4. got one picture of Rain and a quote about him "has ladies swooning from Kowloon to Kanagawa", one picture of Dae Jang Geum and how popular it is and Winter Sonata starting the boom in Korea...

and then nothing else? They have 4 or 5 pages of Yao Ming which really no offense to him but do I care? Nope. THe cover is Apple's Steve Jobs. Right. All the techno junkies will now run to the store and get this version because their idol is on the cover. As if...

I am very disappointed. Luckily didn't buy this mag, standing there running through was more than enough. If you can a decent mag on Jang Dong Gun which has nicer pictures, you can

a. order from Korea any Korean mag

b. get a lookout for Chinese mag featuring him OR better yet I bet when The Promose debuts, you can find articles about him in Entertainment and female type of magazine

c. go to Time Magazine website. It's all there. Don't waste your money.

Tell me the logic please; why publicise the fact that he's on the cover of world renowned Time Magazine when the world would never see that edition?

What a shame, such a waste and very wicked of Time Magazine.

Two words my friends; don't bother.
