Mereka pun berpacaran selama kurang lebih 9 tahun dan selama 9 tahun itu pulalah Han Kyoul  hanya dapat mencintai Yon Joo secara sepihak. Selama 9 tahun pacaran dengan Han Soong, Yon Joo pernah tertarik dengan pria lain dan meninggalkan Han Song selama kurang lebih 2 tahun dan pergi bersama pria lain DK ke New York. Setelah itu Yon Joo kembali lagi ke seoul karena sadar klo dia masih mencintai Han Soong. Di saat Yon Joo kembali ke Seoul di saat itu pulalah Han Kyoul yng udah beberapa tahun tinggal di new York di suruh oleh neneknya kembali ke Seoul.

Di saat semuanya sudah berada si Seoul disinilah muncul cinta segiempat antara Han Kyoul, Han Soong, Yon Joo dan Eun Chan.

Han Soong yang tadinya sempat sakit hati lantaran dikhianati cintanya oleh Yon Joo, akhirnya menerima kembali Yon Joo di sisinya.Pas balikan lagi Han Soong sempat tergoda dengan kepribadian Eun Chan yang tomboy, apa adanya(di sini Eun Chan dikenal oleh Han Soong dan Yon Joo sebagai cewek, dan Eun Chan menyuruh merek berdua menutupi rahasia ini dari Han Kyoul). Ini pun membuat hubungan Han Soong dan Yon Joo sempat diwarnai api2 cemburu, walaupun pada akhirnya mereka berdua kembali pacaran dan akhirnya menikah.

Berbeda dengan Han Kyoul, dia mengenal Eun Chan sebagai seorang pria karena penampilannya yang tomboy,,,,sampai pada akhirnya Han Kyoul membuat toko kopi yang mempekerjakan pegawai cowok dan tokonya di sebut Coffee Prince. Di saat itu Eun Chan yang awalnya tomboy berkeinginan untuk menutupi identitasnya sebagai wanita agar bisa bekerja di toko tersebut,,karena Eun Chan anak pertama dan punggung keluarga,pekerjaan tersebut akan memberikan gaji yang lumayan untuk hidupnya. Di toko itu hanya manajer Hong yang tahu klo Eun Chan adalah wanita . Seiring berjalannya waktu Eun Chan tertarik dengan Han Kyoul dan sangat cemburu ketika tahu di hati Han Kyoul hanya ada Yon Joo. Eun Chan merasa kurang PD karena mencintai Han Kyoul. Karena kepribadian Eun Chan yang sederhana, apa adanya, lama kelamaan han Kyoul pun tertarik dengan Eun Chan yang pada saat itu dia tahu klo Eun Chan adalah cowok. Perasaan cinta ini membuat Han Kyoul stress dan uring2an sampai akhirnya dia menemui psikiater,,,,dia takut klo dia mencintai Eun Chan ,takut klo dia pikir dirinya adalah seorang gay,,

Han Kyoul tidak bisa lagi menahan perasaan cintanya pada Eun Chan dan akhirnya menyatakan cinta pada Eun Chan.Ketika tahu Han Kyoul mencintainya juga, Eun Chan berniat mengungkap hal sebenarnya bahwa dia adalah cewek. Ketika Han Kyoul mendengar itu semua,,,dia merasa sangat kecewa,,,orang yang dicintainya berani membohonginya,,,ditambah lagi ketika dia sadar dia mencintai Eun Chan,,dia sangat menderita dengan perasaaan itu karena dia mencintai sesame pria(karena dia mikir Eun Chan pria).

Pertengkaran mereka tidak berlangsung lama,dan akhirnya mereka bersama lagi.Di saat bersama ini ada masalah baru timbul, nenek Han Kyoul belum menyukai Eun Chan yang tomboy dan Eun Chan harus belajar Ke Italia selama beberapa tahun agar menjadi pembuat kopi yang handal. Tapi itu semua berhasil mereka lalui dan pada akhirnya Eun chan balik lagi ke Seoul dan mereka berencana menikah

 

Komentar:

cerita nya seru banget pa lagi pas han Kyoul menyukai Eun Chan yang dia kenal sebagai seorang pria,,

kenapa ya di drama korea selalu aja yang nyatain perasaan cinta duluan itu cewek???
dan kenapa cowok lama banget sadar klo dia udah jatuh cinta??? Dan kenapa juga cewek itu selalu pengen di kejar???

Btw gara2 nonton ni drama gw jadi gak tidur semalaman,,padahal lagi bulan Ramadhan,,,bukannya I’tikad malah nonton(he,,,he,,,)

Inconsolable

I close the door
Like so many times, so many times before
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
I wanna let you walk away tonight without a word

I try to sleep, yeah
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me
A thousand more regrets unraveling
OOoh, if you were here right now,
I swear I’d tell you this

[Chorus:]
Baby I don’t wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it’s killing me
Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you (to you)
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I’m inconsolable

I climb the walls, yeah
I can see the edge,
But I can’t take the fall, no
I’ve memorized the number
So why can’t I make the call
Maybe cause I know you’ll always be with me
In the possibility

[Chorus]

No, no, no

I don’t wanna be like this
I just wanna let you know

Unbreakable 2007

 

In a recent INROCK interview, Brian Littrell said the Backstreet Boys newest album will include various music styles, combining their earlier mid-90’s sound with their most recent guitar driven pop/rock sound.

The Backstreet Boys have set an October 30th release for their new album ‘Unbreakable’ (title confirmed by Brian and AJ during an interview at 104.5 on August 13th).The final track-listing , however , has not yet been decided. The group’s follow-up to 2005’s Never Gone will be the first effort since the departure of longtime member Kevin Richardson last summer.

JoJo from 102.7 KIIS-FM in Los Angeles posted a new ballad called “Happily Never After” on www.jojoontheradio.com on May 8th, 2007. It’s available for streaming on that website. It had been hand-delivered to him by Backstreet Boys’ manager, Johnny Wright, the day before. It is now expected that the song will be on an album by another artist. The chances that it will remain on this one are very slim.

“Helpless When She Smiles“, a cover of Bastiaan Ragas‘ rock ballad, was also leaked online on May 9th. It was to be the first single (said by Brian) but when found that it was sung by another artist, was withheld.

“Any Other Way”, an uptempo pop/rock song from the Backstreet Boys upcoming record was leaked to music rating sites at the end of May. The song was produced by Dan Muckula, who wrote and produced their 2005 hit single “Incomplete.” It was written by Dan Muckala, Jess Cates, and Lindy Robbins.

On July 25th, the first single was confirmed as “Inconsolable,” a piano driven power ballad similar to Never Gone’s “Incomplete.” It will be released to radio on August 27th. . Inconsolable was written and produced by Emanuel Kiriakou (Nick Lachey “What’s Left Of Me”, Katherine McPhee “Ordinary World”), and co-written by Lindy Robbins and Jess Cates. It was premiered on August 6 by Jive at Z-100, New York’s Hit Music Station.

On August 13th, Brian and AJ had confirmed that the album title is “Unbreakable“.

Comeback: Never Gone 2005-2006

After a three-year hiatus, their new hit single, “Incomplete“, was released to radio stations on March 28, 2005 and quickly became the #1 most requested song in top markets in both U.S. and overseas^]. The drastic style change drew negative criticism from magazines such as Rolling Stone (who gave the album only 1 star) who thought they should have stayed true to their traditional pop sound. Fans did, however, applaud their effort on the album.

On June 14, 2005, the Backstreet Boys released their comeback album Never Gone, which they spent more than a year recording. The album debuted at #3 on the U.S. chart with substantial first week sales of 291,000 copies, including #1 debuts in Japan, Pakistan, Germany, India, Chile, Brazil and Korea. In that year Brian Littrell scored a #1 hit on the US Christian Charts with the single “In Christ Alone”. The Backstreet Boys began the first leg of their Never Gone Tour in July in West Palm Beach, Florida. This would be the group’s first Australian tour.

Never Gone was certified platinum in the US and four singles were released from the album. Their first single “Incomplete”, the second single was “Just Want You To Know”, the third singles were: “Crawling Back To You” for the US and “I Still…” (international). Never Gone has sold over 3 Million copies worldwide

The Hits: Chapter One

In October 2001, the boys released The Hits: Chapter One, a disc of their greatest hits. The band members say they resisted the album, feeling that it was too early in their careers for a “greatest hits” collection, and that it would ruin their long held plan to mark the group’s 10th anniversary in 2003 with such a release.^[3] The record sold over 6 million copies worldwide, and yielded an international top 10 hit “Drowning”. The Boys performed at the United We Stand concert in Washington, D.C. as well as The Concert for New York City (two benefit concerts for the victims of September 11) and were a part of the All Star Tribute benefit single “What’s Going On” (with proceeds going to AIDS and 9/11 charities). By the end of 2001 and into 2002, it became clear that the Backstreet Boys were on an extended break with no new recordings or releases.

Black and Blue (2000-2001)

In November 2000, the group released a new album, Black & Blue, with the idea of the title of the album coming from Brian as the boys were in Los Angeles for a photoshoot when they were all dressed in black and standing in front of a blue background when out of the blue, Brian suggested the album be called Black & Blue. To promote the release of Black & Blue, the boys traveled around the world in 100 hours to Sweden, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, and the US; 55 of the hours were spent traveling and 45 were spent making public appearances. The album debuted with 1.6 million units sold in the first week in America, making the band the first ever artist to have two albums sell a million or more copies in the first week. In November 2000, Black & Blue had sold more than five million copies worldwide in its initial week, setting a new first-week record in international sales. Globally, Black & Blue — whose 13-song selection features six songs co-written by members of the group, including two written by all five Backstreet Boys — achieved platinum status in over 30 countries and gold certification in 10 regions around the world during its first week of release.[citation needed] In the first week of release, Black & Blue’s first single “Shape of My Heart” was played on 170 out of 171 of the Top 40 stations in the U.S.[citation needed] Meanwhile overseas, the song immediately jumped into the Top Five in Sweden (#1), Norway (#1), Canada (#1), Germany (#2), Switzerland (#4), Austria (#5) and Holland (#5) and has sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Towards the end of 2000, McLean first started using cocaine while shooting for the video “The Call”.[citation needed] The album’s second single “The Call” made the Top 10 in the UK and the third single “More Than That” made the Top 20.

In 2001, the Backstreet Boys kicked off the 1st leg of their “2001 Black & Blue World Tour”, in which they were to perform on five continents within the span of 100 hours. The tour also had extremely expensive production costs. The tour was featured on a CBS TV special, The Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life. To coincide with the special, TV Guide issued six different covers of the boys: five individual shots and one group photo.

The second leg of Black & Blue summer tour was put on hold when it was reported that A.J. McLean had checked himself into rehab to battle drinking, drug addiction, and depression, after Richardson had held an intervention for him at a hotel in Boston. The tour was postponed until September. Another tragedy struck when the September 11, 2001 attacks occurred, killing a Backstreet Boys crew member, Daniel Lee, who had been using time off in the tour schedule to travel from Boston to Los Angeles to be with his pregnant wife. The death caused the cancellation of the band’s plans for overseas tours.[citation needed] Despite the tragedy in New York that day, the Backsteet Boys went ahead with a planned concert that night in Toronto, where they performed to less than 5000 fans, and angered many in a public struggling to cope with the enormity of what had happened.[citation needed]

On May 18, 1999, the Backstreet Boys released the album “Millennium”, which sold over 1.13 million units in its first week, setting, at the time, a record for first week sales,until April 2000, when ‘N Sync’s second album, “No Strings Attached” sold 2.4 million units in its first week. The album also recorded the most sales for an album’s second and third weeks. Rolling Stone reports that sales might have been bigger if some stores had not run out of CDs. The album dominated the worldwide charts, landing at the #1 spot in 25 nations. It was certified 11 times platinum on December 22, 1999, and went on to sell over 30 million copies worldwide.The first single “I Want It That Way” was a significant hit, reaching the #1 spot in over 18 countries.

In 2000, the Backstreet Boys graced the pages of the new millennium’s first issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

Backstreet Back 1997

 

By 1997, pop music was returning to the forefront in United States, with the likes of the Spice Girls. Jive and Pearlman decided to bring the boys back to their home country after 8.5 million discs had been sold worldwide. They began recording their second album, Backstreet’s Back, releasing “Quit Playing Games With My Heart” in August, coinciding with the release of their second international album, the band released a self-titled album in the US which collected songs from both international albums. They hit big on the U.S. charts, and debuting at #1 in Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Finland and Austria. The two albums sold over 28 million copies worldwide (14 million copies in the U.S.)^.In December 1997, the band embarked on a 60-city, 20-country tour. In 1997, Littrell (soon joined by McLean, Richardson and Dorough) brought a lawsuit against Lou Pearlman, in which they claimed that Pearlman had hidden and misused money earned by the band. The case was settled in 1998.

In 1998, Littrell underwent open heart surgery in the middle of their sold-out US 39-city tour, at the insistence of his then girlfriend (and now wife) Leighanne Wallace; he had twice postponed the surgery in the past. He had been struggling with a heart murmur since he was born, almost dying at the age of 4 due to a bacterial infection. Littrell needed about 8 weeks to recover from the surgery. Shortly after, the Backstreet Boys cancelled an appearance in Minnesota after learning that Howie Dorough’s sister had died of lupus. In October 1998, the band received the keys to the city from the mayor of Orlando in honor of the tornado relief concert the group headlined in March.

On February 17, 1999, the Boys received their first Diamond award from the RIAA for shipment of 10 million copies of their self-titled album. At that time, they had hired a new manager team called “The Firm”, famous for managing bands including Limp Bizkit and Korn. Along with their new management team, the Backstreet Boys sued Pearlman several more times, until he renegotiated the settlement on terms more favorable to the band. Executives of the Firm stated that the Backstreet Boys had bought out Pearlman’s stake in the band, but he denied this^.

After a possible Mercury Records deal failedthe band was spotted in Cleveland, Ohio by an executive from Jive Records in February 1994. By June, they were recording their first single; an urban pop song written and produced by Denniz PoP and Max Martin called “We’ve Got It Goin’ On.” The single struggled in the US and reached only #69 on the Billboard charts; but it sold well in Europe, later earning the band their first Gold record in Germany. In the summer of 1996, the band’s first self-titled album was released in Europe and Canada, going gold within weeks in Europe. Jive and Pearlman kept the band busy overseas for the next two years, sometimes putting on tours for five straight months.

European popularity grew, and the Backstreet Boys kicked off 1996 being voted the No.1 International Group by TV viewers in Germany – “I’ll Never Break Your Heart” went gold there and hit No.1 in Austria. The group earned their first Platinum record in Germany and toured Asia and Canada.

Boy band manager Lou Pearlman was inspired by the success of the New Kids on the Block in the 1980s to create his own clean-cut band. After a series of auditions in 1992 and 1993, he recruited Nick Carter (at 12, the band’s youngest member), Howie Dorough, 19, and Alexander James McLean, 14. Following the departure of two members- Sam Licata (later performing as Phoenix Stone) and Charles Edwards – Kevin Richardson, 21, came aboard in March 1993. The group took its final shape on April 19, 1993, when Brian Littrell, cousin of Richardson, joined the group after a phone audition. Their first concert, on May 8, 1993, was performed for 3,000 teenagers at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. Pearlman later booked them at grade-school assemblies and shopping malls, and assigned management duties to Johnny Wright, who had worked with New Kids on the Block.
