What2do - Dean featuring Crush and Jeff Bernat


Thanks to JRE of JREKML on YouTube, I got to know of Dean who is like the next big thing in hip hop and RnB scene. I have listen to every thing he has released and I do love his singing a lot.

I thought that his style is quite similar to Crush so I got excited when it was revealed that the two have collaborated!

This isn't the first time they collaborated, they did it with Junggigo's 24/7 track along with Zion.T and it was a great track obviously.

What2do is Dean's track with Crush and Jeff Bernat. A bit of background on Jeff Bernat, he is quite famous for his single "Call You Mine" (a lot of singers did the cover) and he has collaborated with several Korean singers/rappers as well. He is not Korean and I believe he isn't fluent.. so I was wondering how he's going to be included in the track.

Turns out he was in the chorus, which doesn't make the song odd. If Jeff was a rapper, it'd be easy to imagine. I am happy with the placement because I can follow the chorus easily.

As mention, I think Dean and Crush do sound quite similar. I knew it was Crush who started the song but I had to pay extra attention to find Dean's voice. After several listen, I do think they do have their own style but their voice is very similar that it does sound like one singer only.

This post contains SPOILER

Reply 1988 is the first Reply series that I have watched.. I read a lot of good things so I thought it would be nice to start now.

I did enjoy it's run but looking it through YouTube is quite difficult and it was a bit draggy (it is longer than typical KDrama) so I didn't completely watch it. All I did was read it on Dramabeans and watch whatever short clips posted on TVN drama YouTube channel.

How do I feel about the drama is a bit random. I think I like the secondary characters more than the main characters. I would prefer more development on Noeul and DongRyong characters. I did not have any ships for the drama.. perhaps due to watching it the same time Oh My Venus was still on.. I didn't find any relationship engaging.


Nevertheless I was curious on how would end up as the husband.. I didn't have any guesses but I was satisfied with Taek. I think he made the most sense on being the husband from episode 1 when it was finally revealed who was the husband. That being said though... I feel really bad for Jung Hwan. I felt like his character needed a closure.. that half hearted confession was like a dagger to my heart. I cannot believe I'm watching that lame confession.

It felt so random and sudden that his character was put at the back burner towards the end of the series. I felt like had the scriptwriter made him gave a proper confession and DeokSun rejected him properly...I would be satisfied. I feel so sad if a guy like Jung Hwan exist in real life. How could a guy as thoughtful and kind like him end up without no one at the end of the series??

I think he is the most realistic character and some of his trait mirrors mine. I probably wouldn't organize a wedding for my parents but I definitely would be the one to cheer up my family when they're sad. I find it so sweet that he refers himself as "second daughter" when his mother was going through menopausal. As a caregiver, I do meet other patients that wished they had a daughter that can look after them.

JungHwan is just too good to be left alone. I personally think he is better off without DeokSun. hahaha I'm bitter but I think JungHwan will get the perfect wife in my imagination.

I remember you



I have a soft spot for anything that is referred as underrated so when Dramabeans called it underrated, I was sold.

I was very impress with the acting of every actor.. I don't think there were any actor that is lacking and the characters are well made. I haven't really been a fan of detective drama because I find it weird that the scriptwriter like to inject a bit of satire humor to the serious atmosphere..however that being said, I think I Remember You humor was acceptable.

I do think that both Seo In Gook and Jang Nara are splendid actors, but the side character took centre stage. Park Bo Gum and D.O. acting was noteworthy and very memorable.

The story line was good but I won't say it was very engaging. I find myself stopping midway and just go on with life. I took my time with the drama although it was already a finish drama. I think I watch it after I was done with Master Sun.

Would I call it underrated? yes in some extend but it is not what would I call my favorite drama.

Master Sun



This is another drama that has garner a lot of rave review so naturally I'm curious if it does live it up to the expectation. I watched while waiting the next episode of Oh My Venus, I only write this post now because I thought I should at least mention in my blog that I have watched the drama.

Honestly... I didn't finish the drama.. I did however choose to finish it by reading the recaps at Dramabeans. I find it being draggy at the last 4 episode.

The individual story on ghost was fun, I like there's something to look forward in the drama. Since So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah were my favorite OTP, I wasn't really feeling the chemistry between the leads. It was good but Oh My Venus ruin my OTP standards.

I don't think it's a memorable drama for me but I enjoyed watching all the actors acting. Watching So Ji Sub was enough reason to watch the drama. I thought the ghost look awesome though. It's visually interesting but oddly I'm not scared at all. No nightmares whatsoever.

Oh My Venus Reaction



I just literally finished the drama with no subtitle a minute ago.

I don't want to give much spoilers but I thought the drama is damn lazy. There is too many flashback. It should have been a 12 episode instead by the amount of flashback the drama has. Which means all you need to watch is episode 15- 16 and then watch some random OTP moments (the very reason you should watch the drama)

I officially declare So Ji Sub and Shin Minah as my favorite couple ever. The drama is flat out boring but the couple save the drama for me. Heck, all SJS and SMA had to do is be together and I'm happy like a little kid with a huge lollipop.

BUT THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT. (NO WEDDING DRESS) Like come on... Shin Min Ah has to be in one!

I'm happy for the whole journey but I'm so sad it's over. Thank you drama for making Monday and Tuesday awesome. I'm so happy that I decided to watch this drama. I don't think there would be any drama that have such perfect OTP in the near future unless SJS and SMA decide to work together again.

Congratulation to Kang Joo Eun and Kim Young Ho for winning best couple award. Congratulations to So Ji Sub for winning Top Excellence in Acting and Shin MinAh for winning Excellence in Acting for Oh My Venus.

To Secretary Min, Sung Joon and JiWoong. You guys are such cutie.

I hope the next drama will be cute! Fantasy School..not my genre but I've been wrong in the past so why not give it a try?

KBS MANSE!!!
