Me-In.kr Media Launch

Hi guys! It's been awhile and here I am back again to share something really interesting! Especially those of you who are fans of korean culture, style and fashion!

Introducing..


What does the logo stand for?
 It is pronounced as "Mi-In" in Korean.
美 IN Inner Beauty
美人 Beautiful People
美引 Leading Fashion Forward

Why Me-In?
Inspired by the "IT Girl", Me-In is borne from the desire to serve modern pragmatic women, therefore it helps modern women to achieve being aptly dressed for diverse circumstances and situations with whatever that may be. Shopping in Me-In is going to be a head-to-toe experience which is unique in it's own way!

"It isn't beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It's just it." 
- Rudyard Kipling

Let's see who runs behind the scenes of Me-In.


 Hyejin KIM 
Creative Director 
Hyejin Kim has worked in the Korean online shopping mall industry for the past nine years. Her experience coincides with the initial rise in popularity of online shopping in Korea during the early 2000’s. During this period, Hyejin has worked as a freelance model with many of the largest and most popular Korean online brands. She has also worked as an assistant casting 
director for several popular Korean commercials. Finally, early in her career, Hyejin worked 
as an assistant stylist at one of the first Korean online shopping malls, where she learned 


 Song-yee GIL 
Stylist 
Song-yee Gil has six years of experience. Before her current role as Fashion Director at Me-In, she was a celebrity stylist in charge of the image for popular Korean actor, Ji-hoon Ju. She has previously worked in the online retail space including Eranzi, where she developed a Korean brand image targeted at Malaysian customers. In addition, Song-yee has significant experience working as a pioneer employee at a successful outlet, A-Round in the wholesale market 

Introducing the lovely sweet Models from Korea..
(the faces of Me-In.kr launch)

  
Moving forward, let's check out Me-In.kr latest launch.

WORK. LOVE. PLAY
Categorized into 3 different themes.

. W O R K.
(Launch 1 & 2)

Away with the "stuffy" office look..
Classic colors that offsets what would traditionally be considered a design that is too informal for the Korean workplace, while accompanying it with a jacket of modern cut adds a degree of sophistication. To tone down further, you can choose to match it with a pair of conservative pumps.

. P L A Y .
(Launch 1)

Look great without trying..
A common fashion that is overly focus on your primary attire (e.g: tops & bottoms), often resulting in the "trying too hard" vibe.

Mix and matching is the rage in Korea..
Items that don't always go together and creating a new and interesting look that expresses your a person's own individuality. The mix and matching techniques of Korea's "fashionastas", a group of well-dressed celebrities whose "street fashion" is at the cutting edge of the new Korean chic.

A mixture of trends in Korean Fashion..
A stylish person tends to take a step further and show their creativity through textures. With unbalanced designs showing up in an array of different popular looks, the skirt is an example of how unbalanced detail can add a special touch to what is an otherwise ordinary miniskirt.

. L O V E .
(Launch 1 & 2)


Dressing to impress your significant other..
Korean ladies would definitely skew towards the feminine look. Classic design such as the white collar shirt is a tried and true way of looking both sweet and sophisticated. For a girly route, top it off with a cute flower print skirt when going on a special date. The perfect outfit along with accessories like rings and bracelets to complete a truly feminine outfit.

Spring is in the air..
Yellow the colour at the moment. A warm, vibrant colour is just the thing to make a lovely impression. Even in Singapore without the traditional 4 seasons, having korean styles in your wardrobe as they change throughout the year can be pretty fun.

Men and dress..?
A dress that brings out the best of your lines, a definite must to had. Adding a classy touch, like wearing a jacket over the dress can unveil to add an exclamation point to your evening.


Finally, the day which everyone has been looking forward too after hearing getting to know a little more about Me-In. Time to meet the models in person! Whoo~hooo~
The bf was suppose to attend the event with me but due to some last min changes, guess who came instead as my partner for the evening?


p/s: apologies for the blurry photo. It feels pretty artistic, doesn't it? lol

Check out who else attended the event! (:


And.. Here comes the models from Korean (in person)!!

Had an enjoyable and awesome night, and last but not least. Thank you Belinda for this awesome invite! It's da bomb! (:

P/S: For more photos, it's on my FB page.

Ciao.
Till then.

Sly and Single Again aka Cunning Single Lady.

Entertainment 

With the kdrama, You Who Came from The Stars/My Love From Another Planet completed. You wonder, what's next that would be just as good as the previous drama. 

There are always tons of dramas to watch, yet sometimes you wonder is it good? Will I enjoy watching this drama? It makes you skeptical. 

Thanks to my boredom last night and the crave to watch some korean dramas, I started on a hunt once again for something new and worth watching. Gave it a try and hell yeah! Finally found one 


Sly and Single Again aka Cunning Single Lady
앙큼한 돌싱녀
Wednesdays & Thursdays
Episodes: 16
Ongoing

 . CASTS . 



Right, guess who else is part of this show?


It's Infinite L!

Synopsis.


Ae-Ra is focused on her appearance as she believes it will lead her to a better life. She then meets Jung-Woo who studied engineering. They eventually get married, but they also get divorced. After their divorce, Ae-Ra goes through difficult times. Unlike Ae-Ra though, Jung-Woo becomes a successful IT developer and became very wealthy. Now, Ae-Ra tries to seduce Jung-Woo to marry her again while Jung-Woo tries to take his revenge on her.


Well, I'll usually do a review but this 16 episode drama is only been broadcasting 4 episodes up-to-date! The drama's been pretty interesting so far. Hilarious and lighthearted. It just makes you smile cause the couple's just too cute! It's cute watching how both couples who got married and then divorce tries to get back at each other be it trying to seduce or revenge. You see a bond between them which both sides hasn't quite realized it yet. Maybe it's pretty much a typical thing in korean dramas that you can more or less tell after watching way too many of them with pretty much similar scenarios.


Hopefully there'll be an awesome twist in the show but like every other korean drama, the leads will always end up together. This drama reminds me a little of "Paradise Ranch" which was broadcasted couple of years back (which I started watching it again recently this past week after My Love from Another Planet ended and left with no other dramas worth watching). Haha!

Let's wait, watch and see..
Shall we?


I'm pretty much looking forward to the following episodes infact. And I think it's gonna get pretty juicy soon! ;)

 . Cunning Single Lady Preview . 


Hope you guys would enjoy watching this drama too!
kbye.

You Who Came From the Stars

Entertainment 

After watching this week's Running Man, using my most loved kdrama at the moment "You Who Came From the Stars", I just had to blog about this drama. Hehehe!

It's been a long while since I've blogged on korean dramas, and yes I definitely do miss sharing my favorite list of korean dramas with you guys!!


You Who Came From the Stars
aka
My Love From the Stars
별에서 온 그대

Episodes :: 21
Wednesdays & Thursdays
South Korea

.  CASTS  .


Jun Ji Hyun as Chun Song Yi
Kim Hyun Soo as young Chun Song Yi / Seo Yi Hwa
Kim Soo Hyun as Do Min Joon
Park Hae Jin as Lee Hwi Kyung
Jo Seung Hyun as young Lee Hwi Kyung
Yoo In Na as Yoo Se Mi


Synopsis.

Do Min Joon is an alien who came to earth in 1609 and lands in the Joseon era, then lives through the next four hundred years to the present day where he works as university professor and falls in love with a haughty top hallyu actress, Chun Song Yi.








Review.

There are some parts which may get a little weezy bit boring, but I love the scenes and chemistry between the two leads. A boring guy falling in love with a dramatic yet lonely girl and vice versa. Which totally reminds me of someone really familiar (in the sense of being boring. HA!)

It's dreadful to wait every week while you look forward to two new episodes for the week! Especially when it starts to get really interesting and exciting! The waiting time is a killer.

The strolling isn't that bad either, it's pretty fresh though there's still the same triangle love relationship thing going. But what's good about it, is the comedic essence of the show. Really makes me laugh and sometimes i just have the urge to rematch that same scene over and over again just because it cracks me up!


HAVE YOU WATCHED IT YET?


Can't wait for the whole drama to end, before I start re-watching it and swoon over the cuteness and sweetness of this lovely couple!

Well, each of us have our own views about the show.
Share yours with me! ;)


Till then.
xoxo.

BEST New Year Ever!! Bringing 2013 to a close & Welcoming 2014 ♥

Lifestyle 

I had the BEST new year's eve 2013 to new year's 2014 this time that I just had to blog all about it!

New Year's Eve was usually a simple celebration with either my family or love ones and friends but this year it was so freakin' awesome that I didn't want it to end!

It started with a simple tea/diner with the parents at TWG, while waiting for time to pass.
As most of you would've known, TWG is not just famous for their wide range of teas but they do have pretty good food too!





Thanks to my aunt, I've got complementary tickets to catch Rain with Nine Muses new year's eve countdown concert at MBS! And i'm so so so grateful and happy for that!



I don't really know who Nine Muses are and I guess they have just debuted not too long ago. Well, pardon me cause I've not been following up with the latest kpop group news. But my main attraction was RAIN!! Couldn't wait for him to appear on stage! Haha!!


F I N A L L Y!!
It's Jung Ji Hoon aka Bi Rain!!

Totally love the way he dances.
And it's amazing that my parents enjoyed themselves just as much as I did.
Rain was just as charismatic as ever!









First family photo of 2014 right after countdown and the amazing display of fireworks!
Love them to bits


With New Year's Eve such a fabulous blast, New Year was simple yet fulfilling and well spent with the family and D.

With 2013 being a wrecked up year for us, we've gone through one of our worst and yet here we are standing together in bliss into 2014. Thank you for being my 1314 and with many more to come!


Lastly, a completed family photo with our very first dinner together!


What an awesome kickstart into 2014!
How could I not love and be excited, looking forward to an amazing year ahead of me that's gonna be filled with greatness and fullness of blessings and favour!

And last but not least, I would like to thank all of you readers who have supported me in one way or another. My deepest apologies that I haven't been blogging as much as I used too before due to my full-time job that I actually love and enjoy doing! Wishing all of you the best in 2014,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

please continue to shower me with your love and support!
thank you!

Review.



This Kdrama made me tear like crazy till both my eyes had gone really puffy, ever since the first episode till the last! But i'm glad, it's a happy ending after all! That's what most of us would want right? X)

I had mixed emotions while watching "Missing You"! Well, it's kinda hard to explain how and why until you've watched the drama yourself and i guess you might feel the same way as i do!

I loved how the characters are in this drama, the way they acted the characters out were really amazing! Well, it's a melodrama so what do you expect? But of course, it's not sad all the way through. There are pretty cute and hilarious moments in and out of the show especially during the connection between Yoo Chun and Eun Hye! Love those moments of them together the most, cause it's just SO CUTE!! Well, not that the connection between Seung Ho and Eun Hye is bad too, it's good just a different type of effect cause Seung Ho is simply soooooo sweet until before he lets jealousy takes control but yet you still can't hate his character! Instead, it makes you feel really sorry and pitiful for him. Furthermore, he's quite a cutie! Haha!! 

This is another awesome 2013 Kdrama i would recommend to watch if you haven't watched it yet!! (:





Till then.
xoxo.
