Album Review : Mamamoo Hello

1. Hello

In just 43 seconds, 7 lines, this intro is good enough to capture attention of it's listeners. I particularly don't enjoy the rhythm but it's good introduction to the group styles. 

2. Mr. 애매모호 (Mr. Ambiguos)

Their title track, retro seems to be their concept but I don't get Wonder Girls vibe whom are synonymous to retro concept. I start to see the color of Mamamoo voice, it has a lot of characters in it and I thought it reminded me of musical without the over the top flare. The rap part was good but I can't help to laugh because it feels like it was so random. Mamamoo does a lot of harmonization, I think it would be interesting to hear them doing acapella.

3. 히히하해호 with Geeks ( Hihihahaeho)

The intro was so catchy. I know this will be another favorite. Like the playfulness of the title, it makes me feel happy. Geeks part is long.. I guess that's why it's title as "with" not "featuring". My favorite part is the whisper part. I don't understand much of the lyrics but I never really bothered about lyrics.. I mean, I listen to Korean pop without being fluent you think lyrics are a big deal for me? Anyway, I hope it has a clever meaning, though if it's all fluff, it's fine.

4. Baton Touch 

Maybe it's in the title but this song felt like a cheerleading song. The rhythm is fast and cheerful and it does make people move along to beat. Mamamoo lyricist seems to like to add their name in songs. I'll forgive because this is their first mini album as I think the intention is to get people to remember the group name. When the song slowed down, I wasn't liking the song anymore.. I think it's best to keep the upbeat because it made song seem lazy, it's like make one paragraph and then the rest is just filler for ending. The aong is under 3minute but it felt longer.

5. 내맘이야 [HwaSa solo] (my heart)

I have yet to familiarize with the members voices so I do enjoy solo singles to give attention to members. The song has a different vibe than the other songs in the song. It's a hiphop track through and through.  It does feel like this song is odd to be in the album but I think we can expect something diverse from them in the future.

6. 행복하지마 with Bumkey (Don't be Happy)

This is my favorite song of the album, and the reason is pretty obvious. I am in love with Bumkey's voice. The video only contain a snippet of this song so this full version is very welcoming to me. Bumkey started of well but I thought the transtition to Mamamoo's part seems odd. It made sense in the video but in the song it just end and started like two songs. I feel that there should be two version. 

God Gift 14 days

I think my brother enjoyed this drama more than I did.

First 7 episode was okay. It had all the suspense, I literally had a pillow over my face because it was intense. I thought after that it was just dragging.

I love all the main characters except Saetbyul. Gosh, I don't blame Lee Bo Young wanting to punish the child for running away. That girl is a nightmare.

Ki Dong Chan stole my heart. He is all scruffy and rugged but I could see how beautiful heart he had. Daesang winner, Lee Boyoung was exceptional again in this drama. Another Daesang worthy performance indeed.

I don't mind the lack of romance, The duo had great chemistry anyway. I wish we had a better ending.

Birth Secret

Between being sick and busy.. I really wanted to write more but physically I'm in bad shape. I'm feeling better..and while I am better I'm going to write a lot!

So this is a drama I have finish long time ago. I wasn't expecting much from this drama and probably that help me enjoy the drama better.

I decided to watch it because I am interested with genius photographic memory characters. I thought Gal So Won is such a sweetheart to I continued watching.

Of course, all drama has their loopholes. I don't enjoy the fact the scriptwriter made chaebols as lunatic. It has a good message but I thought that they push it too much.

For a drama with a title "Birth Secret'' I was expecting more realistic twist. I have to put my logic aside and accept the scriptwriter logic.

Yoon Jun Sang had a loveable character but the chemistry with Sung Yuri was not working for me. Spoiler Alert : what are the odds of two suicidal people meet each other before dead?

Depression does mess with your head but it's just feel weird. Kdrama should banned amnesia or any mental disability ... it feels like they don't represent the actual thing.

I enjoy watching the drama but I won't watch it again.
