X-rated synopsises

Hey guys! First of all I want to say how sorry I am to have been away for so long!
As I've stated before some of the synopsises on Cypsis Blog are written by me, so I decided to let you know the "other versions" that didn't make the cut to be in the actual review. PS: I am not responsible for any harm done to the minds of readers who are under age. And this post involves hidden spoilers.

While there are people who just want everything to go down and dirty, Kim Hang Ah makes Lee Jae Ha's gun pop in several occasions.
*my friend used it as a word, so let it be a word! Meaning a person who hasn't even had one kiss.

Fictional bands

 I feel like a little piece of unicorn poop - sparkly and beautiful, but still poop. The reason is that a lot of things have happened in my personal life and it turns out uni x job x social life = "but I wanted to watch dramas tonight!!". On the other hand there has been a lot of amazing stuff happening and I hope it will get even better.

As I went to a concert last week, I decided to make a post about fictional bands of Asian dramas (meaning all actual bands that have made cameos in dramas won't be included). Whose concert would you want to go to?

This post is dedicated to our little sister. She has been a fan of an American band for 4 years and this year they made a world tour! (yes, a world tour in a sense that they went all over the world not only in the 4 closest countries -.-) Anyway when it came out that they will do that, She didn't even think that it would be possible to go (as they didn't come to our country). As I am a fan myself I thought how I'd felt if my favourite band would come so close to me. And then it was decided - I knew I had to take her all the way to Sweden just to make her dream come true. Needless to say she was extremely happy - can't say I felt any less happy :D

"It worked in dramas!" aka Things I want to do PART 1

As Seol Chan from Monstar said: "It worked in dramas!". It made me think about all the things that work out just fine in dramas, but in real life they wouldn't be so easy. All those heartbeating moments and illogical behavior - there is so much I want to experience in real life too! So I'll just write them down in random order:

I WANT TO:
- Lie in bed like Seol Chan and his-fantasy-Se-Yi did in Monstar episode 3. 
It would be totally uncomfortable and weird but cute as Hello Kitty with a strawberry shortcake. The biggest problem I have with this "point" is that I'm not so sure I can just lie on top of someone like Yong Junhyung and not have any perverted thoughts - way to go you stupid fangirl mind! -.-

- Timeslip into the past to confess my feelings to my childhood friend (need examples? Proposal Daisakusen, Operation Proposal).

I've always found the "childhood friends theme" cute and enthralling! Fairy, come to me and make me timeslip!!! What?! I do not have that kind of childhood friend so it's out of question? Damn you and your fairy rules -.-

- Live in the same apartment/ house with the love of my life by coincidence (basically every other Korean drama and of course "Hotaru no Hikari").
At the moment I live in a dorm but the guys next door don't really count as neither of them can be titled as "the love of my life" T.T

- Listen to music from the same earphones! (Buzzer Beat, Heartstrings)
I have no idea why I find it so adorable - maybe because it is a good reason to have his face close to mine? Also this "act" excludes only the two of us into a world separated from others - isn't it special? To be honest I was really close in achieving this point years ago - back when I was still in elementary. We were on a field trip and somehow we made girls and boys sit next to each other. I sat next to the guy who some years later became my first boyfriend. During that field trip I was listening to Enrique Iglesias (how do I remember that??) from a cassette player (yeah the times were like that -.-'). But he declined my sweet offer...

- Fall in a way that ends up with me and the love of my life accidentally kissing (basically every other drama).
I'm afraid I will break my nose before that happens (damn that European face).

- Get really drunk and be piggybacked back home (basically every other drama - but I have doubts about it after watching Marriage Plot).
 I am not going to talk about my quite colorful drunk record, but the thing that isn't in it is being piggybacked back home - mostly because at times like that I am not the only person drinking so if he -whoever takes this responsibility to bring me back home- would try to piggyback me - I think it would end with my face meeting the street...

How to: fold socks (Monstar style)

Living away from my parents also means that all the chores are up to me. Well that sucks! But even at times like that - dramas can help me out and make my life easier.
So let the Min family from Monstar teach you how to fold socks so that they could always be un-wrinkled and easy to tuck away
1) take a pair of socks
2) fold the socks so that heels are facing up - let them stare at your perfect face. Do not fold them in the usual broken-in-the-middle way!
3) Make a T out of socks, putting one sock's opening in the middle of the other sock (heels still up!)
4) Fold the sock underneath together by placing both sides over the opening of other sock. (It does not matter whether you place left or right side first)
5) Now it should look like the letter I!
6) Take the part where your little toes go and pull it over the folded sock!
7) Tuck the leftover into the opening.
8) fix it up a little bit so that you could have a beautiful square.
Now you have the perfectly folded socks that are easy to store! 
Hope you learned something useful, 'cause I sure have more room in my drawer! :D

Best Boyfriends TOP 5

In a lot of Asian dramas one of the main themes is LOVE. But the usual storyline always goes so that the adorable couple gets together in the last episode of the drama or they have an on-and-off relationship. I find it rather depressing and tiresome because I think that kind of relationship should be about happiness *insert rainbows and unicorns*. So I began to think about those couples who manage to have an actual and functional relationship - from what I see it's all thanks to the guys! I present you the TOP 5 Best Boyfriends!

5. Kang Baek Ho (Operation Proposal) played by Yoo Seung Ho
From childhood friends to lovers - of course he is the best one to know his girl! Their time together was rather short but he was quite perfect for the time being. From the start he made it clear that Yi Seul was the only one for him and that he was serious about their relationship - after all his biggest dream was to be the one standing next to her on her wedding day and not as the bestman but as the best man. It wasn't his fault his girl couldn't believe in him!

4. Kamiya Naoki (Buzzer Beat) played by Yamashita Tomohisa
To be honest he was kind of a wimp at the beginning like a little boy trapped into an adult body, but that was because he was with the wrong girlfriend - after all he is the only one in this list who had two girlfriends. Being with Riko made him man up. Why he belongs into this list? He prioritized Riko's dreams over them being together - not only did he achieve his own dreams but he also pushed Riko to not give up on her dreams. Of course from time to time they could have been more honest with each other, but their trust in each other makes up for it. Not to mention he is a hmm rather good kisser.


3. Lee Shin (Heartstrings) played by Jung Yong Hwa
 A lot of handholding and hugging - a man who knows the value of skinship! And he wasn't afraid to show it to the whole world. Even though they had a rough start they had a strong relationship afterwards. Scandals didn't sway his trust in his girl, his broken dreams didn't stop him from encouraging his girl to chase her own dreams even when it meant breaking up with her - sounds kind of harsh but isn't it the best thing someone can do for the one they love?

2. Domyouji Tsukasa (Hana yori dango) played by Matsumoto Jun
Everybody knows him as the violent jerk, yet he was ready to sacrifice all of his life just to be with the girl he loves. And who would have guessed that this pampered rich boy has Fire-God like fire lighting skills not to mention his hunting skills etc. It made my blood boil that he had to suffer because of -well everybody else! Even the love of his life couldn't love him as much as he was worth. 

1. Yoon Seol Chan (Monstar) played by Yong Jun Hyung
He is officially the most adorable supportive boyfriend ever! This jealous teenage boy turned into a real man the girl can lean on from the moment he got his girl while his remaining childish attitude added spark to the adorable relationship. Even though he is an idol, he gave his best to protect Se Yi even when it meant sacrificing his own precious pride. And even when he had to run between school and work, he made time to drop by her place just to let her know that he was thinking about her. Good thing Se Yi knew how to appreciate his efforts.

For the guys out there: being the perfect boyfriend is easy - just be supportive, protective, sweet, funny, good-looking and be ready to sacrifice your own life for her - wait? that's too much... Well just be yourself and show that you really care about her - that's why she fell for you in the first place (o⌒.⌒o)
