Bermuda Triangle - Zico feat Crush & Dean

Just seeing their name alone gave me chills because I am that excited to hear about this collaboration. I really wanted to see how I would react and I filmed myself reacting to the video and the whole video got me in awe and I was just basically speechless. Props to you reaction youtubers for being so vocal. I got no talent at reacting. 

The video has a lot of element and the concept fits them like a glove. I love the directing, the lighting and the effects were on point. Zico sure know what concept matched him well. The video is essentially a typical hip hop video but in a good way. The set locations are interesting, although I wished they didn't do it in the church. Outside fine, not in the church! I cannot fathom that the song had swear words and they be singing it in the church. Church is a holy space..better watch out that language sir!

Zico, Dean and Crush had the own distinct musical style and each style worked so well together in the song. I'm pretty sure the 3 of them actually full participated on the song. My favorite is obviously Dean. He be rocking that Man Bun like no other and he SANG the song like he mean it. 

I know this is mean to the BBC but Zico ought to ditch Block B and just formed a trio with Crush and Dean. This should happen more often and not be the last. 

Go Watch it on the official Youtube to support. In the mean time, I'mma do the same. 

Kpop News

2016 has been quite overwhelming. From news of member taking a break due health problem to groups disbandment, thankfully we have good music to console us. 

Jeong Hyung Don recently returned on Weekly Idol after suffering from panic disorder and some idols suffers the same predicament. Bang Yong Guk, leader of B.A.P is noticeably absent on "Skydive" promotion that is currently going on. Crayon Pop also missing it's maknae Soyul who has shocked the Kpop world by announcing her upcoming marriage to Legendary group H.O.T. leader Moon Hee Jun. Winner EXIT concept modelled after Big Bang's MADE is currently on hiatus due to member Nam Tae Hyun reportedly suffered Panic disorder. However this week YG shocked the fans with official announcement that Nam Tae Hyun would be leaving the group.

In the same day 2NE1 is officially disbanded, Past member Minzy left the group early and the time YG release a statement that the group will continue as trio. However that comeback never happen. With the addition of the new maknae, Heo Young Ji that was selected from a project,  other Kara members did not re-sign with the company and hence the group disbanded. Although never announced officially disbanded, looking at DSP history, it is unlikely and also unfortunately it would be the same fate with the group Rainbow. 

Although their friendship seems the closest among all the other idol groups, 4 Minute officially disbanded due to the lukewarm response on their last promotion. HyunA is the sole member with the company. Cube is not having the best year because Beast minus Jang Hyun Seung is leaving the company. Beast members are currently trying to emulate Shinhwa's path.  Beast return as 5 members were positively receive and I am hopeful that they could return successfully with or without a new name because Cube owns the name. 

Jia of Miss A also left the group this year, currently Miss A is said to remain as a 3 member group which has yet to happen... Fei did debut as a solo this year but the response were cold because of the controversial statement in her SNS.  Speaking of SNS, Tiffany made a stupid mistake twice on Instagram that receive a huge backlash that made her went into hiatus. 

1% of Something (2016) review

And now the Ha Suk Jin withdrawal will commerce. T_T

When the drama premiered, Drinking Solo was still on so I thought I though I might drop the drama because I don't want to feel like Jin Jung Seok is cheating on Park Hana because hilariously, Jeon So Min cameo on Drinking Solo...Unfortunately Park Ha Sun did not cameo back in 1% of Something. Like I waited.. I waited for it. Boohoo writers!

1% of Something is the remake of 1% of Anything which stars Kang Dong Won (his only drama) which I didn't watch then. I started fresh  but I did mid way research on it. I was shocked to find out that the drama had 25 episodes! but this 2016 version only had 16 episode and is quite short (35-49mins)

Personally, I don't think remakes are a good idea but this one works because of the main lead being very cute. I like how easy it is to watch the drama. Ha Suk Jin just matches with anyone. Both of his character is very similar but the way they love is different so I didn't have a problem watching both dramas at the same time. Kinda like watching twins? haha

I'm so sad that there's no more Ha Suk Jin,,, at one point, I was watching Ha Suk Jin 4 days straight. Drinking Solo is on Mon-Tue slot while 1% of Something is on Wed-Thu.  I watched quite a lot dramas this year.. and I'm surprised that apart from Ha Suk Jin and JinJoo (the actress who acted in Jealousy Incarnate) I don't know the rest of the cast. I'm not familar with the elder actors as well.

For OTP shippers, this is a great drama. SOOOO MANY SKINSHIP. Not complaining but I'm bitter that Drinking Solo didn't have the same...ya know? It's tvN!

On the Way to the Airport review

I never thought I would end up writing this post. I was so sure I'm just going to take a peek and drop it around episode 4. I didn't like it was about affair and the main sponsor of the drama. Affairs drama is uncomfortable.. what if they had superb chemistry together? How am I going to ship it? I don't like the idea of romanticising affair.

However.. I was drawn to the drama because I wondered how they were going to depict Malaysia in a Korean drama setting and I am amazed they make KL looks so good. The warm tone of the scenery make everything look good.

The biggest reason I'm watching is of course Lee Sang Yoon. He should play autumn drama more because when I think of warm person, he immediately comes to mind and autumn is a bit chilly. I thought his character in this drama is kinda like him the most...I don't know about the affair part haha.

I find it interesting that Kim Ha Neul first drama after marriage was this drama. I guess, she felt like she is sort of cheating with her husband lol. This is just work. I thought she did well but I am not the biggest fan of her character.

I was hoping they wouldn't made the partners such bad person but unfortunately it was the case. I felt like I want no additional reason but because they love the other person. The mystery surrounding the mother daughter relationship were draggy but it made me stayed. It was not as shocking as I would had prefer.

I don't think I would find myself watching this drama another round.. I have not come around to finish the drama. I have two episode left. which amaze me that I actually come that far.

The scenery of the drama is one of the best I've seen. I would remember the drama as a drama that looks really pretty.

Drinking Solo Review

After the success of Let's Eat series, Kdrama fans has been buzzing about wanting a drama of a drinking version because of Korean drinking culture. For me, who isn't a drinker welcome to the idea because I thought it would be good for me, I won't have a craving. I'm not easily influenced but I hate the idea of being hungry so Let's Eat was a bit hard for me to watch. Drinking Solo is more focus on the namesake title..not so much like Goo Dae Young food trivia explanation which I was hoping..but I enjoyed Jin Jung Seok's rules of enjoying Drinking Solo

Jin Jung Seok (Ha Suk Jin) has a nickname that fits his real given name, Jin Sang (which means jerk). High Quality Trash because although he has good skill and good looks, his personality is pure trashy. Despite his action, I never come around to hate him. He is the first jerk character I didn't hate hahaha clearly I love Ha Suk Jin.

Drinking Solo isn't all about the culture of drinking but it's also a story on the people living in Noryangjin. My first though of Noryangjin is the famous seafood market because if you search for places of interest in Seoul, Noryangjin Seafood Market is in the list. I had no idea that it's the place where young hopeful go to study to pass civil exam for employement. It felt like receiving a bonus because I love stories on youth. The dorm life, the friendship and how it's actually really hard to concerntrate on studies is so relatable. I'm sure the Korean working adult might feel nostalgic to watch the drama.

The professor story line was unexpectedly good. I didn't expect to know so much effort
is put on for a class. Maybe I didn't have the right lecturers before. my lecturers simply read text from a book, very monotonuosly haha. I really thought that I paid so much for a lecturer to read from a book loudly.

Key did so well in this drama and his catchphrase was a runaway hit. Usually the phrase "heol" is more popular but after this drama, everyone is going "ddirori". It's such a fun catchphrase, I'mma use this catchphrase whenever I see Key. Gong Myung is as usual a lovely character and I hope to see him grow into a leading actor someday but it's nice to see him going at his own phase. Chaeyeon is kinda iffy for me. I don't know if she's good actress or not but I thought that she wasn't annoying unlike that idol in Cinderella.. I hope her next drama, she would smile more often because she looks the prettiest when she's smiling. She has her own catchphase too but I don't think it would catch on.

Prof Min imitation brought a lot of expectation and it was really fun. I would definitely sign up for his class although his subject is only elective because I think having fun in class is important too. His story was sad, I can't believe the hospital inform the sad news through a telephone call.. He is my ideal type, I like that he is such a caring person. I definitely would not sign up for Prof Hwang class though. Her pronunciation is really bad, I can ignore the accent but the pronunciation is a no no. I love her honest personality but she is an English professor, she should at least be decent in English.

I wanted Prof Park to prove herself worth... I don't think drama do her justice on this aspect. I wished she would get a full attendance on her class by the end of the drama but sadly that didn't happen. I am not satisfied on her character. That open ending on her relationship was boring. Give me something better next time.

A lot of viewers are hopeful that there would be a season 2, I don't really think it would happen. If it does, I hope we will at least get the trio friends back in the drama. I think the Prof stories have ended for me, I'm quite satisfied at their stories. Ha Seok Jin did great but what is there more to add on his story? I'd like to be surprise but I do not want it to be like Let's Eat 2. That would make me upset.

I have to note that one of the Assistant PD in the drama commit suicide recently. I hope he rest in peace.

Jealousy Incarnate Review

Jealousy Incarnate is a drama of it's own kind. It's not like any other Korean drama I have ever seen in the past. In short, I would describe the drama as "Lovable Crazy". As crazy it might sound, I can't help but to tune it and enjoy the drama.

If I didn't watch the drama, rely only on short recaps, perhaps I would feel that the drama is horrible. It's after all, feature a really annoying main lead character to the extreme. Is it the power of Jo Jung Seok, I honestly don't know but he makes Lee Hwa Shin swoon worthy. Call it bad boy appeal but he is the guy you are told to avoid.

Gong Hyo Jin is staying true to her nickname "Gong-vely" is very charming and she basically can paired up with anyone and it just works. She is a bit frustrating in the drama with her indecisiveness.. Heck the drama is filled with indecisive people that use all means to get things they want. The family relationship is unconventional. Mix of various families that would rival weekend drama.

Speaking of which, at 24 episode.. this drama was not draggy. it felt like it was meant to be. I first got to know that it was 24 episode at 6 episode in. I was worried it would feel too draggy because I think 16 is a good number but now I think it's just perfect.

 I do wish Go Jung Won and Hong Hye Won would get a happy ending instead of just disappearing in thin air.. there isn't much closure for my two favorite characters. I'm used to Go Jung Won kind of character and I will continue to like the nice guy but can we talk about how hot is Seo Ji Hye as Hong Hye Won? I'm so dead. I can't decide which voice I prefer, Seo Ji Hye or Go Kyung Pyo.. let me have them both. I want more characters like Hong Hye Won.. between her and Kang Yina from Age of Youth.. this year winner for best girl crush is a tie. Maybe HyeWon wins just slightly.

There is a lot to digest from this crazy drama but I don't want to risk spoilers. It's fun but it may not appeal to everyone. I do think there's something to look forward for everyone though. There's a lot laughs to share, thoughts to pounder and some tear jerking scenes.

Watch it like how I did, just throw logic behind and watch without thinking too much.

Flower Boy Next Door Review

When I was looking for older dramas to watch, I tend to choose based on actors and this drama
has everyone that I like. I think this drama is what they would call a drama that is ahead of
time because all the cast are quite trendy this year. Yoon Shi Yoon is on 2 Days 1 night,
Park Shin Hye recently was on Doctors that had the highest rating on it's timeslot, Go Kyung Pyo
is currently on Jealously Incarnate and Kim Ji Hoon is one of my favorite actors.

Go Dok Mi (Park Shin Hye) is a writer that works from home and spend most of her time indoors
due to a past trauma. Whenever her part of the drama comes on, I feel like it's a melodrama because she's always in such a gloom mood. Enrique Geum/Kkae Geum (Yoon Shi Yoon) is the opposite of Go Dok MI, a bright and sometimes quite obnoxiously friendly is genius game producer who grew up in Spain. Just across Dok Mi's apartment, Kkae Geum's cousin Han Tae Joon lives in an apartment close enough for Dokmi to peer info from the window.

Dokmi thought that their meeting was a fateful one, she met Tae Joon by chance in the park and when she moves into her current apartment, she thought it was fate that he lives across from her. Go DokMi peeps from her window everyday to see Han Tae Joon way of living everyday. One day, Kkae Geum visited his cousin and noticed immediately that Dokmi has been staring at the house. Furious, he went straight to her apartment to catch her red handed and that was the start of their relationship.

I try to avoid reading synopsis of the drama and usually just read a short reviews without spoilers about the drama because I want to watch the drama without any expectation. Good reviews is just a guide to avoid bad dramas because no one should waste time watching bad dramas right? hehe. However while watching this drama, I felt like I would have not watch the drama because I think the drama is quite predictably boring. I wished Oh Jin Rak (Kim Ji Hoon) is the lead character instead. I know opposite do attract but a kind character that is so similar to the female lead is more suitable. Suddenly I'm reminded of She Was Pretty..but even then, I did prefer Park Seo Joon over SiWon, I mean I am a fan of Siwon but Hwang Jung Eum had more chemistry with Park Seo Joon then.

The trauma part was a little underwhelming, I don't quite think it fits on making her wanting to isolate herself to the world. I somehow wished it was something more. The mystery part of the story is also hardly something I looked forward to know more. This drama is watchable but I don't find myself curious. I don't think I'll watch this drama again in the future. I loved the cast, but the writing is just plain. I have to give props to the sets/location. The rooms and location is really good. I am amaze it look very realistic. Somehow Korean drama sets looks very bare and kinda like showroom, but not this drama. I thought the Webtoon artiste room is the most realistic look. It's has a lot of book (I presume for reference) and cloths are everywhere. It actually looks like they do live there.

Reply 1997 Review

Watching the drama, I wonder how would it feel like watching it live back in 2012. I wasn't a big Kdrama fan back then, I would just watch whatever I like on KBS or SBS channel and that was it. I do know that this drama was such a big hit and everyone is talking about it.

I have watch some clips here and there but I don't know the story apart from 1997 top stories. I'm a big Kpop fan so I naturally know about the history of how Kpop first started. Sech Kies is now reunited (minus one member) so I feel like watching this drama to reminisce.

Busan accent is the best! I really need to study more on Korean geography, I think it's the Gyeongsang do dialect? Anyway, if I'm talking to my dogs, it sound weird now because I mixed with some satoori. Yup, I do speak Korean to my dogs. haha

Is the reply series all about the husband search? I though this one was sort of weak. I didn't really have to wait till the last episode to find out who was the husband. I thought 1988 was quite interesting one. I have yet to see 1994 but I already know who is the husband so I might just watch to see Sung Dong Il and Lee Il Hwa. 

If I were to put myself in this drama, I would probably be Yoo Jung, not the fact I'm brazen with guys but the fact I can't pick a side. But I would probably like H.O.T better because I'm quite loyal like ShiWon. 

The Yoon Brothers story is very fantasy like. I can't help but to roll my eyes whenever their achievements are mention. Especially the older one. Actually I can't believe that he would like ShiWon at all. It's kind of wrong is so much level. The fact he is her sister former boyfriend, her teacher and the age difference is just too much..

I'm glad that TaeWoong had a good relationship in the end though. 

It definitely feels different to watch it today because I already know what would happen and the hype isn't there anymore but I felt like time spent on watching the drama is worth it. It was fun to see the family relationship and the close friendship is endearing. 

I love all the meta jokes and like how I know most jokes. I guess that's one of the good thing to watch it now? if I watch back in 2012, perhaps I wouldn't get it.

Let's Eat Review

I'm doing things backward. Hahaha. I watched Let's Eat 2 first then this one. I thought it would feel awkward..but it wasn't.

Here's a weird fact, I don't watch anything older than 2/3 years because of the phones they used. I find it cringe worthy to watch older model phones although it's really not much different. I watched Reply 1997 (will do the review next) and hated to see the old phones. I don't know why it bothers me so much than it should. Speaking of which.. I think starting from last week, Samsung is retracting the Note 7 PPL from dramas, now it's Samsung S7 edge. Looks like lucky no.7 didn't work on Samsung. Who's bright idea it is to skip no. 6 then?

I am not a foodie at all but I do like facts, similar to Let's Eat 2, I skipped all the eating part and just focus on the food facts and the stories. I prefer this storyline because like Jin Yi, it is my dream to live alone. I have a similar suspicious syndrome like Lee Soo Kyung so I relate a lot to her character. I like that she's a nice but smart person! like finally a nice character that is smart.

Barassi is the perfect drama dog. I'd replay his scene a lot because he was so adorable. I like that he is a character own it's own instead of a decoration. Goo Dae Young never changed huh? He is really friendly and I wished I know someone like him. The side characters are fun yet realistic.

Jin yi might be the closest to be unrealistic character because she's so nice and bright but who could hate her? She's such a bubbly character and I love that she gives that good vibe in the drama. If we have more characters like Jin Yi in this world, I definitely think the world would have less depression.

The romance game in this drama isn't strong. It's cute but I don't come for the romance. I just enjoyed the friendship between neighbours and how they live their lives alone. I liked Let's Eat 2 but this original one is why Let's Eat 2 exist so I do prefer this drama better.

Cinderella and 4 Knights Review

Meets my expectation.

Except that my expectation was nothing.

Haha. bad joke, I'm sorry.

I'm well into a Kdrama addiction that I watched anything remotely interesting to me. I thought I was going to slow down watching drama but my resolution in 2016 was to watch more Kdrama.. Can I say best resolution I have ever made in my life? Sad but fun nevertheless.

I was mildly interested about the glitz and glamour. I grew to like the secretary so I stayed for him. I think I lost because he got little part. hah. I wish he had a bit of a love story. like anything! Why call it 4 Knights then???

I'm gonna sound pretty mean so skim through this paragraph. I don't get NaEun's appeal at all. She's not ugly but I don't feel she's pretty? Especially so in acting. For the love of Kdrama and Kmovies.. Please Naeun, stick acting to your A Pink music video and nothing else. I don't think I want to see you improved. I wished they would switch the step sister to play Hyeji role instead because she is a better actress.

The conflict in the drama is predictable and the medical part in the drama apparently is very flawed. Hmm well Kdrama...

Overall I think it's not going to be the drama I will think from time to time and possibly forget I ever watch it. The most memorable part is the fact that HyeJi is such an annoying character. If only the writing could be better. I hope it won't deter Park So Dam from doing drama. She's a good actress and I love seeing her on screen (more so than Kim Go Eun)

Jay Park Appreciation post.

Jay Park has been releasing all this English track and I'm loving it. He sounds great either in Korean and English but I get really excited for the English track more because I can understand the song instantly.

All I wanna Do



This song is such a feel good song. I imagine my self playing the song at the yacht or beach because of the fun vibe. However the lyrics though are not kids friendly at all. I don't mind it, because it's in true Jay Park essence and he is that kind of guy to sing such song. This song is also my current ringtone to tell you how much I love the song. I still get a kick out of it whenever my phone rings because while the part I have as a ringtone is pretty tame, the song is explicit. All I wanna Do is be Tinashe so I can hangout with the hommies at their section. hahaha


I Don't Disappoint



Another sexy song by Jay Park and as the lyrics goes "expect nothing but the best from me" this song definitely won't disappoint if you're looking for a song that sets you into that special mood. *winks.  The song is just full of the sexy vibe and Jay Park level of confidence is through the roof. He isn't shy at all to admit all this in the song. For me, the song does sound a little too sleazy in some parts because of his intentional singing technique but the song itself is body roll goodness.

Aquaman



When I first saw the title, I get apprehensive. I wasn't sure this was going to be the vibe I'll like. I was wrong. The song is very chill and breezy, I guess perfect for the beach festival? I don't know because I'm an introvert. lol The lyrics are actually cringe worthy. My expression when hearing the lyrics is like I just tasted lemon.

"Let me call you mama, cause we about to make a baby"

and

"Before I go put it in, let me go down underwater just like a fish"

erm yeah. I find the lyrics too much. It's like knowing his style so figuratively, it makes me blush. I do like the song though and I ashamed to say that I can't exactly stop myself from listening it.

Me like Yuh



I'm not quite familiar with this English version because I listen to the Korean version that feature Hoody more than this one. This song doesn't sound like the usual R&B sound, this leaning towards EDM genre. I used to dislike the genre for the unnecessary sound effect but lately I don't mind. Maybe that's Dean influence on me. He likes to play around with sound effects a lot so I just somehow got used to EDM. That being said.. I don't fancy the song as much. Not that it doesn't suit Jay Park, I just felt like the song is just trendy and AOMG is probably experimenting. I think it is great that musician make an effort to dabble into other genre. Music is more than just being stuck to one genre.

Dropped dramas

I normally never want to drop a drama but sometimes I just can't get a drama like others and I don't want to feel like I'm forcing myself to watch anymore,

I may pick up the drama later but for now, I'll just say I'm dropping it. This post will contain spoiler as an explanation why I dropped it.

1. Lucky Romance

Just couldn't get around finishing this drama. I want to love this drama because of Hwang Jung Eum but I don't feel excited for the new episode.. I find myself trying to distract myself while watching the drama. I think I got 4 episode left so this isn't hard to pick up but i'm just not feeling it.

2. Uncontrollably Fond

I got busy..so I put drama on hold but oh gosh.. This drama is stuck in the 90's in a bad way.. Can melodrama make a good comeback somehow? Actually I read the spoiler about having amnesia and i just cannot continue after that. I saw the trailer and preview being all lovey dovey so I was like "Where is that scene and why we don't get more of that?" Fine, kill him but at least give me less angst and more about youthful love. And they just kill him. To be honest I stayed for the dog and they give us less of that.. Also 4 episode left

3. W

Just not my kind of drama.. Can't help that I don't care for the main cast or any of the cast that much so I didn't feel like watching for my enjoyment.. i just want to know what people are talking about on e comment sections. 7 episode left to go..I can't even finish ep 10!

4. Task Force 38

I felt like I should complete this but i think there's one case too many. I wish they ended with that money throw down to the roof and leave it there i can't see Ma Dong Seok getting tricked after having that budding bromance with Seo in Guk. 4 or 3 episode left

And that concludes my list. I was going to add Fantastic on the list but I never come around to watch it.. Additionally Jisoo got sick so I'm not comfortable to watch the drama. Get well soon my puppy!

Age of Youth review

This drama is the kind of drama I wish they make more often. 

At only 12 episode, I highly recommend anyone who is a youth, who was a youth, who is becoming a youth to watch. It's mostly a girl friendship story but I think it would be great if guys can see from the female point of view. Bromance is sweet but so is our sisterhood. lol I have no idea what is the cool term for female bromance..Sismance sounds odd.

I love the fact the story is character driven, allowing each 5 character to have their own story. It was so naturally realistically done that I felt like I listening to a friends' story. While I don't exactly care for the ghost story but I like how it relates to each character. 

My favorite character is Yoo Eun Jae because I felt like she is the most like me. She's painfully awkward and nice. Her puppy love and crush is so endearing that she makes me felt like an Unnie (which I am technically due to age) wanting to hug and teach her about life. Senior Yoon was perfect for her. I adore these two together.

Mamamoo has a song called "Girl Crush" and every time Kang Unnie, (if she's awesome, she's an Unnie!) appear my heart just sang the song! She's absolutely gorgeous and badass at the same time. Her love for her housemates wins hands down. Even though she has a past, I love that she has a good heart nevertheless.

Han Yeri is amazing as Yoon Jin Mynng. Her acting deserved an award. The subtle acting is top notch. Her character is a typical troupe but Han Yeri make it work so effortlessly and it felt so real. I'm excited for her next project.

Our oddball 4D girl, Song Ji Won is the perfect ice breaker. I wish I know a person like her in real life. She is the friend that you want to hang out with and I wished her character has a deeper meaning behind it but she's still so much fun. She is the very reason we need a season 2 please!

Madame Jung..I want to love her but she is a pain. ahaha. She is the friend you want to avoid. She's not the worst people but don't share any secret with her because she is the one that will spread the news first. However I can't help to care for her. 

Now.. If you haven't watched it. Please do. Join in the team of wanting this drama go for a Season 2. 

Dean is coming to Malaysia..but I'm not going. T_T

I actually just found out yesterday. The bad side of not being on social media. haha I'm on twitter but not regularly enough. I'm too busy catching up with drama. 

When I saw the schedule, I wasn't absolutely thrilled. 1, it's in KL and Penang, 2, it's next week and 3... It's really not convenient for me.

I immediately check the direct flight and it's not in my favor. Going to KL also no good. Perfect schedule is that I can just do day trip or 1 night stay only but looking at the transport schedule,,, I have to at least stay 2 nights. Which I don't have the luxury of. 

I do really want to go but honestly the schedule is not good. The only event I want to go is the Penang showcase. KL schedule seems meh. I don't want a fansign event. I'm a weird person. See, I like his music.. not necessarily the person.  I just want to hear him sing. Fansign event is too crowded for my liking. At least concert, I can listen to their singing..I can tolerate the crowd. 

The two other event in KL are MY.fm show which mostly likely to be in Chinese and then, he's performing on AIM Chinese..again in Chinese but it's an award show so the chances of going to that event is slim. 

So even though I really want to see him sing, I think I'll pass on this. 

Big Bang also cannot. Too expensive. I rather watch fancam.

Doctors Review

Phew I'm on roll. This is my 3rd post in a day! I'm just striking while the iron is still hot. hehe.

Doctors was that drama, the drama that made me look at the clock and rushed to my laptop so I could stream it as it was shown in Korea. I was really obsess with the drama.

The level of chemistry between Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye is perhaps one of the best from this year. I wasn't really comfortable when they were Teacher-student relationship but once that passed, I could enjoy comfortably.

Unfortunately that did not last long. As time went by, the romance just got very cheesy. I couldn't stand it. If I was at the scene I would probably be slapping some senses to this couple. I couldn't look away because again, their chemistry is no joke but urghh so much cheese.

The medical part of the drama does nothing to me and it's fine. I wasn't in for the medical drama, I just like the characters in the drama. I read a comment on other sites saying that this isn't a medical drama, it's a romance drama in a hospital setting where two lovers happen to be doctors. I thought that made sense so I didn't expect much from the medical part.

I thought that the drama is a bit draggy to be 20 episodes. SPOILER I couldn't care much about HyeJung's grandma case. I just couldn't relate to it. I lost both grandmothers last year and I missed them dearly but I don't dwell too much on how they died. Everyone may grieve differently but HyeJung is too extreme. it's been 13 years, and what in the world did she do the past 13 years? SPOILER

The politics.. yawn.

Kim Min Seok did a really good job in this drama, I'd be mad he doesn't win any awards

Liar Game Review

This is a Korean Drama review.

This drama is an adaptation of the Japanese manga that I have not read yet. I might if I have the time. haha most probably not because I only read Detective Conan these days.

Liar Game is one of the drama that I constantly see rave reviews in various site. I thought it being only 12 episodes, it would be easy to watch.

I'd say it definitely lives up to the expectation. It is very thrilling and uses a lot of logical reasoning that I'm fond of. I like how each character reacts to the twist but as for the games, there were one or two that I find a little boring.

Boring as in, not the game that makes me intrigue. I'm not going to elaborate more in case I would have spoilt it. I probably would failed at the game so hard though. haha because I'm a lone ranger and the game is best played as a team.\

I really like Kim So Eun character but why do dramas make nice people stupid? Can't they make nice people smart too? I'm literally shouting towards the screen to tell Kim So Eun not to be so nice.

Romance plot isn't strong in this drama but I wish it was. I totally can see Lee Sang Yoon and Kim So Eun together..I think other fans would disagree with me though. Not a spoiler but that ending is leaving us much desire for another season.

I'll be anticipating that too!

Beautiful Mind Review

I wasn't sure I was going to like Beautiful Mind. I'm not particularly fond of Jang Hyuk, not that he's a bad actor.. just not my type.  I was intrigue with Park So Dam, she earn rave reviews from her film so I wonder if she would live up to the expectation. Based on the summary before the premiere... I thought it was interesting so I decided to give it a try.

I was really close to drop the drama because of Gye Jin Sung. I think Park So Dam did nothing wrong but her character type is my least favorite. That brass kind of attitude is a no-no for me. I like people who has a better action. Ironically though.. I actually stayed when she mellowed down. I like her when she fallen in love with Lee Young Oh. 

Lee Young Oh is a really special character. I think Jang Hyuk totally delivered his role to a tee. I just wished he was a little younger. Would it hurt to shave his moustache so he would appear younger? I love his voice though. It sounded really cool. 

I had a bit of a crush on the second lead but he is just becoming increasingly disappointing.. I don't hate him too much, he still have some good value in him just that I felt like it would be nice to see him being in love with someone. 

The side characters are full of fun. I love the power rangers although they seem very random. Dr. Yang is so adorable! I wished he was shown to have a good relationship with his crush. The cases in this drama is interesting and it matched well to the development of Lee Yong Oh character.

What I don't like about the drama? Obviously the politics. I think politics can be an interesting plot but I can't even bother when it doesn't really help the character growth. Beautiful Mind is a drama that should centralise on  It mostly felt like filler that I really don't care about. 

This drama was shorten from 16 to 14 and I'm really upset about the decision. It was announced when I was just getting started to enjoy the drama and they crushed my heart. I felt like it should have just have been 16 so the ending doesn't seem rushed and that we have a proper closure. 

I hope that if you're reading this before watching the drama, that the fact the drama is shorten doesn't deter you from watching it. I still think the time spent on this drama is worth spent. A lot of dramas that has been shorten is kinda bad but this drama is just unlucky. 

Why I don't watch sageuk.

Sageuk is a term for traditional/historical genre for films or drama.

I've watch a couple of them, Hmm.. Let me try to list them down.

1. Tree With Deep Root
2. SungkyunKwan Scandal
3. Hwang Jin Yi

Modern Sageuk fusion

1. Goong
2. Splash Splash Love

Yup. pretty much that. I felt like I might have watch 1 or 2 more...but I forgot. History isn't my favorite topic but I like to know every single detail of a drama so I think watching sageuk would make me learn about history..and I would then feel guilty because my own country history would be forgotten. Hmm.

I'm not sure whether I'm relieved or sad the fact that end of the year is approaching with more sageuk line up, Yesterday KBS premiered Love in the Moonlight and next week SBS will premiere Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Not sure about MBC yet.

The boys are ridiculously tempting. heh.

I might try to watch because my number of currently watching drama is depleting but I have a lot more dramas yet to finish..like Marriage Contract, Lucky Romance,Wanted and Squad 38 from this year and previous years Bubblegum and It's Okay It's Love

I've finished Liar Game and Beautiful Mind which I have yet to write a review. I'm so busy!

Beautiful GongShim review

Technically I didn't really finished the series. I was bored so I skip to the goodies and call it a day.

This drama really should have been a 16 episode drama instead of freaking 20 because it's so draggy and I ain't got time for that.

The drama started very cute and it was very easy to follow. I thought it was super predictable and even made my own prediction. So let's see what I got right! Look away if you don't want spoilers!

Let me spoil it for you. Ahn Dan Tae is Joon Pyo. Gong Shim will date Joonsu but she ends up with Dan Tae. Joonsu will be the villain in the drama. His parents would probably want him to marry Gong Mi. Gong Mi will learn a lesson. GongShim would either end up working in the kitchen or continue painting.


I got almost all right! So yes, Ahn Dan Tae is Joon Pyo, Gong Shim did not date JoonSu, but she did end up wth Dan Tae. Joonsu isn't really a villain.. I don't know okay not villain if one is only being a mama's boy. I was right that his parents want him to paired up with Gong Mi. Love Seo Hyo Rim but I hate Gong Mi so not so sure Gong Mi learnt a lesson but I think she did. Gongshim end up working in her field.

PHEW. SPOILER ENDS!

The kidnapping plot was weak, I think a university student could have wrote the story better and the villain is just lame.  I don't know why they didn't continue the slow-mo thingy or the fact Gong Shim freaking wore her wig while having surgery.. yup. yeah a lot of minor mistake.

I like that Joonsu is a wholesome person..but a bit unrealistic. Can anyone be THAT nice?

It's a cute drama for sure, I think most of the viewers stayed because Namgoong MIn and Minah were adorable together.

Dear My Friends Review

Dear My Friends has been a whirlwind ride. I wasn't sure I could go on, I contemplated of dropping the drama but somehow I knew that it's not right to mess with our elders. So I just brace it and continue to search on what I like.

In every drama I watched, I somehow feel like I can relate to the characters and this drama is no different. The character I'm most attached is Choong Nam. She is the main caregiver to her family, owns a cafe, loves art and sarcastic as it's best. All characteristic that I can relate, I don't have a cafe but I do dream to own one some day. I kinda can see me not wanting to loose to the young ones and kinda not refer myself as old. I think I'm half way there because I feel small for not achieving more in life. I'm a merely diploma graduate.. felt like I could at least get a proper degree.

JeongAh is another character I can relate to because she loves to give and care for somebody. I don't think I'll get marry but if I do.. I probably be like Jeong Ah. I wished she just care for herself a little more.

Sungkyun is not the worst character in my books, he's really traditionalist person so I don't think he's bad person, he is just educated such way.  I hate Sungjae the most! How could she toyed with Choong Nam's heart? I like that he is a smart guy but don't hurt my Choong Nam's heart!

I love love Hee Ja. She's so lovable character and I'm so sad on what happen to her. I think she is the most realistic character because I have seen character like her in real life. I knew she has a stubborn streak and yes, it is very difficult to care a stubborn person. You have to be clever not to make her feel like she's a burden.

Ssang Boon, Nan Hee and Wan, the only 3 generations family is not my favorite story. I can understand not wanting an cheating guy but not wanting someone who has disability is mind boggling. It is hard to live with someone with disability but it's not impossible. Not being able to walk isn't the worst thing in life.

Not forgetting our star, Youngwon seems to lead a glamorous life. She was in war with Nanhee but I'm glad they resolved the problem. I don't particularly care for her story.. it's not boring but I can't really empathise her story.

I'm trying my best not to give spoilers.. I think if you have nothing better to do, this is a good drama to watch. It may be a little depressing at some parts but happiness is there too. I want everybody to know that before they are known as mothers or grandparents.. they were like us, very youthful.
