My Love, Madame Butterfly Takes Flight on ONE

Ever wonder what happens when a celebrity loses popularity? Some go on to carve out a second career while others start their own businesses, and it seems that marriage could be an option for former Prima Donnas too!

An intriguing question for the fans and perhaps even the stars themselves, new romantic comedy South Korean drama series My Love, Madame Butterfly offers an amusing take by following the life of an ex-model and actress who takes the plunge of marriage as her new chapter in life…

Premiering on 13 August and airing from Mondays to Thursdays at 7.40pm first and exclusively on ONE HD, My Love, Madame Butterfly centres on the arrogant and ill-tempered diva Nam Na Bi (‘Nabi’ means butterfly in Korean) played by actress and 1991 Miss Korea pageant runner-up Yum Jung Ah (Working Mom).

Following an award-winning and promising start to her career, Nam Na Bi’s stunning beauty and excellent fashion sense propelled her to becoming the country’s fashionista. Hired as the spokesperson for seven different companies, Na Bi’s latest endorsement deal is with World Shoe Company, which she ends up embarrassing its marketing director Lee Woo Jae (Park Yong-woo, Jejoongwon) right off the bat.

Away from modelling – amidst long-running complaints by audiences for 15 years – Na Bi wears the same expressions for the different roles and scenes she has played in and never developed the acting chops to deserve the star status she enjoys. After losing the part in a film that she really wanted, Na Bi drinks out of frustration and when stopped along her drive home for a breathalyser test, she flees.

Arrested and shamed, Na Bi is forced to stay out of the limelight and takes a holiday during which he meets Kim Jung Wook (Kim Sung Soo, Stained Glass) a tall and handsome real estate developer with a mysterious past, marries him and quits showbiz. Just as Na Bi believes she has found a capable husband who can support her extravagant lifestyle, Jung Wook’s business fails. Na Bi’s high life grinds to a halt overnight and runs into debt.

Forced to move into the rural home of in-laws whom she never knew she had, Na Bi has to contend with family responsibilities that she had never known before. Facing a new set of problems and with Woo Jae reappearing in her life seemingly as a knight in shining armour to the rescue, will Na Bi bear the obscurity of domestic life or attempt to return to her former life in the spotlight?

Fans can look out for the great performances of Yum Jung Ah and Park Yong-woo which landed the leads nominations for ‘Excellent Actress’ and ‘Best Actor’ awards for weekend or daily dramas at the 2012 SBS Drama Awards. The 51-part My Love, Madame Butterfly is helmed by Lee Chang-min (Bride of the Sun), who was part of the team behind hit Korean dramas Midas and Giant, and was penned by writer Moon Eun-ah (Smile Donghae). The drama series also inspired South Korea’s ‘Queen of R&B’ Hwayobi to release the single ‘Only You’ for  the show’s original soundtrack album to reflect Nam Na Bi’s sentiments.

Once the leading lady, Nam Na Bi chose to marry when her star faded, now journey with her through a life of trials and tribulations in marriage as the romantic comedy My Love, Madame Butterfly unfolds this August only on ONE.

My Love, Madame Butterfly premieres on 13 August 2013

Airing from Mondays to Thursdays at 7.40pm

First and exclusively on ONE HD (Astro B.yond ch393)

RICHARD CLAYDERMAN LIVE IN MALAYSIA 2013

With over 85 million records sold over his career, Clayderman is still one of the most anticipated musicians and his songs are continuously being played across borders, regardless of race and colour.

His vast discography of well over 200 albums, released on and licensed to many different labels worldwide, he has recorded everything from light classics to Andrew Lloyd Webber love songs, Bollywood movie soundtracks, and the folk music of Germany, Turkey, and  even Japan.

Clayderman’s approach on music and melody is exceptionally remarkable. Every live show is unforgettable and leaves his fans wanting more.

Aksi Lucu & Spontan Di ‘Kecoh Pengacara Beraya’

Sempena perayaan Aidilfitri yang bakal menjelang pada Khamis nanti, TV3 mempersembahkan sebuah program gameshow iaitu ‘Kecoh Pengacara Beraya’ menampilkan Fara Fauzana (Nona), Neelofa (Nona), Scha Al-Yahya (Muzik Muzik 28), Amyza Aznan (Woot! Woot!), Zizan Razak (Melodi), Awal Ashaari (Melodi), Faizal Ismail (Anugerah Juara Lagu & Vokal)  dan Kamal Adli (Hip TV). Mereka dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan di mana satu kumpulan (Wajik) diwakili oleh pengacara lelaki dan satu lagi kumpulan (Burn D’ Bamboo) oleh pengacara perempuan.

Istimewa dan uniknya program gameshow ini berbanding yang lain di mana ia akan berlangsung tanpa pengacara sepanjang rakaman berlangsung dan sebaliknya menggunakan suara latar (voice-over) oleh AG. Bukan itu sahaja, ‘Kecoh Pengacara Beraya’ juga menggunakan set ala gelanggang tinju yang dikelilingi oleh penonton.
Fafau, Neelofa, Scha, Amyza, Zizan, Awal, Faizal dan Kamal akan diuji dalam tiga cabaran berbeza, iaitu ‘Mengulas Sukan’, ‘Teka Selebriti’ dan ‘K-Pop Style’. Oleh kerana kesemua pengacara lebih banyak terlibat dengan program berbentuk hiburan dan majalah, mereka akan dicabar untuk mengulas sukan, contohnya, Muay Thai dan Gimnastik, sesuatu yang agak asing bagi mereka. Pemenang pusingan pertama ini akan ditentukan oleh penonton.
Cabaran seterusnya ialah ‘Teka Selebriti’. Seorang ahli dari setiap kumpulan akan cuba meniru gaya atau aksi selebriti tersebut tanpa memberitahunya secara langsung manakala tiga yang lain akan cuba meneka siapakah selebriti yang dimaksudkan.
Pusingan ketiga dan terakhir merupakan cabaran ‘K-Pop Style’. Pengacara-pengacara ini akan diuji untuk meniru tarian kumpulan K-Pop popular, di mana kumpulan perempuan akan cuba menari mengikut tarian kumpulan Super Junior manakala kumpulan lelaki akan cuba menari mengikut tarian kumpulan Girls’ Generation. Seperti pusingan pertama, pusingan ini juga bakal ditentukan oleh penonton.
Penuh dengan gelagat dan aksi spontan yang mencuit hati dari barisan pengacara-pengacara ini, jangan lupakan saksikan Kecoh Pengacara Beraya pada 9 Ogos 2013 (Hari Raya Kedua) pada jam 6.00 petang.
