Of Kpop Star and Brain

Wow. I didn't realize that I have not blog since October 2011! I'm not going to give any excuse but yes, I had a busy time on the last 3 months of 2011.

I no longer watching Immortal Songs 2 which I initially plan to do recap/review on as I don't like the cast. I'd probably watched it again if Ryeowook joins because SUJU KRY babe! hehe

Yesterday, 3rd January is the premiere of KPop Stars on One HD (CH393 Astro B.yond) and I like it. I am a fan of audition shows and this is no exception. I didn't come with expectation, I was more curious on the judges as  it was FREAKING BoA, Yang Hyun Suk and Park Jin Young! The Big 3 together on one show?! That's one cool fact.

Although Lee Soo Man would have been interesting to be on the show, I'm glad it was BoA who represent SM. I think the show needs a female, still promoting singer and she's awesome. I wasn't sure of the dynamic of the trio and boy it was awkward..but I could see that they are becoming more comfortable with each other. Looking at the articles recently though, it seem JYP and YG don't see eye to eye.. but will see.

I'm surprised that I agree with their choices and I knew who would say yes or no. It's like knowing the spoiler of the story but I didn't mind. I hope that despite the star power poses by the judge, the contestant can shine as well.

Move on to Kdrama, Brain is my current addiction. Damn, Shin Ha Kyun..who by the way won 2011 DaeSang was so captivating and he made me want to watch more episode of Brain. KBS Drama Awards was on new year eve and I was so anxious of who would take the Grand Prize. Everytime Shin Ha Kyun didn't win, I silently cursed towards KBS..I want him to sweep off all the prize! So glad he was give the biggest award of the night! On the side note, did anyone notice Park Shi Hoo bites his lips when Shin Ha Kyun won? LOL!

I'm still on episode 9, the drama is scheduled to finished on 20...which is four more episode in Korea..gaaahhh. Sad. I'm going to watch his other movies and drama next to satisfy my Shin Ha Kyun syndrome. :P

Those who love medical dramas, I think you would be disappoint to watch Brain. It pains my heart to say this but if you're only interested in unusual cases, this drama is boring for you. I watched this drama mainly for the character development of Lee Kang Hoon. The character is improving yet still very consistent. Shin Ha Kyun portrayal was spot on, you wouldn't think that he is actually shy person in real life.

I wasn't going to watch Brain at first considering it's a medical drama, Kdrama is never about other topics..it's about love story or character. Especially so that there were two bomb before this drama which ironically has casting issue too. I was bitter that the production team kept on changing cast, but Shin Ha Kyun proved to be a right choice. I can't imagine anyone else portray Lee Kang Hoon.

I have a feeling I might blog about Brain again..but I will wait till I watched the last episode.
