1. Jay Park feat. Gray & Loco - My Last
I didn't really have to think hard about which song that represent 2015 for me. I'm usually not a big fan of summery songs because summer to me is all year round since I am not from 4 seasons country. It reminds me of hot sweaty mess. This song however, is about the love relationship that I am after, I have fond memories of 2015 with this song.
2. Soyu X Kwon Jung Yeol - Lean on Me
This song keeps me warmth and comforts the tired soul in me. Soyu continues to do great in collaboration and I think this is one of her best collaboration. I want her to collaborate with Kwon Jung Yeol again! It's has this sad melody but it somehow makes me smile warmly.
3. Phantom - Could You Be Mine
As a Phantomism.. I obviously cannot forget to include them on my list. It is probably too high on the charts but it's slowly one of my favorite Phantom track ever. If I have any complain.. perhaps Kiggen's line is too short.
4. Jay Park feat. Hoody - Solo
Another Jay Park track, he is one of those musician that I always keep track on because I'm such a big fan of his musical style. I thought it's hard to beat my love for My Last, but this song hits all the right note. I love Jay and Hoody voices together. It's sounds so good! I love the rap part, where he includes his past title track on the lyrics. I love the flirty nature of the song.. Jay Park is one sexy guy.
5. BTS - I Need U
One of my favorite discovery of the year. I said I won't learn any more new idols but Jimin's smile is enough to lure me into the fandom. I Need U is such a clever song and I think BTS has a great concept this year. I did like a couple of the past song but I feel like this is what they should stick with.
6. EXO - Call Me Baby
It would have charted high if Tao left earlier. This is easily one of my favorite dance track by EXO. I had a lot of fun listening to this song.
7. Chancellor - Better
I have been following him through many names. Chancellor is Chance from One Way and I really love his voice tone and color. He also has skills to boot and thus makes this song high on the list. I don't know if it's because I'm currently addicted to the song but I think it's a good rank.
8. Zion T X Crush - Just
Two of my favorite vocalist come together. Enough said.
9. Song Min Ho feat. Taeyang - Fear
The winner is Song Min Ho anyway. I am happy that Basick won.. but to me, this is my favourite song from the show.
10. BTS - Converse High
I had to include this song despite it being non title song because I listen to this song and watch it's performance way too much. I love Jimin fancam of this performance on M Countdown.

8 Types of Annoying Kpop Fan in comments
I don't visit any proper kpop news site because I prefer going to sites like NetizenBuzz, KpopKfans and KkulJaem that are comments/feedback based site because I like seeing discussion and the difference between Korean and International fan.
It tends to get repetitive and unfortunately that buzzworthy news are usually negative. With that I encounter several types of annoying fans.
1. Ignorant fan
There's always a fan that can't google. It's not that hard.. something very obvious is just annoying to answer. I especially hate the ones on YouTube that ask "Where is Episode 12??" EP12 is only premiering next week... or that fan that complain about no subtitle when they just uploaded an hour ago.
2. The Wifey
I think it's cute to have a cute username like XX's wife.. but when I see they comment like "I have big news, I am XX wife"...nope just no. It's not funny.
3. The Spammer
If it's your about your bias.. no problem. Pour out to your heart content. "I'm here because it reminds me of ZZ". GET OUT.
4. Off topic
Similar to spammer, this commenter annoys me because I want to read about the actual topic but this person have to bring up a different situation. Giving absurd example is just BS.
5. War starter
Some fans don't get "agree to disagree" term or that some matter is subjective. I love a good argument but when it becomes nasty, it just seem childish.
6. Sarcasm not detected
They ruin the fun of sarcastic comment. I feel it is like a comedian that goes "geddit?". Be cool, and throw in some sarcasm too.
7. Basher bash
"I think SS is way better than plastic monster NN" "NN has no talent whatsoever" Hater detected. I wish this kind fan ignore their hate for others and just focus on their favorite things. Spend time loving because hating is a waste of time.
8. THIS
Short comments that get high upvotes. I mean.. I do write THIS too sometimes but I elaborate two more lines after than. Of course, sometime less is more but let's promote more discussion.

HallyuSurfer Drama Year End Review
again, inspired by Dramabeans, specifically Javabean. I love her writing style!
I'm loving the format.. I am number obsess..well, er maybe not too obsess but reviewing 5 dramas seem doable for non consistent blogger that I am.
SPOILER ALERT
Thumbs up goes to Unkind Women
It's kind of underrated in my opinion. I felt so much warmth from this drama. I love every single cast in this drama. There are some parts I wished never happen like half siblings love rivalry. It's just complicated and unnecessary. My favorite couple is Kim Hyun Sook and Jung Goo Min. I love their relationship storyline. I find it's refreshing that the older couples in the show are more fun that the young ones. I adore Jang Moran character, she has so much elegance to her but she is so adorable! Her love-hate friendship with Kang Soon Ok is what made me stayed for more.
Pointing Finger, reciting Kim Yeol's 1,2,3 belongs to Sassy Go Go
As a opposed to Javabean's "no, no".. I changed it to counting Kim Yeol's 1,2,3 because it reminds me of it. Sassy Go Go revives a side of me that I never knew I had it in me. I love Kdrama a lot more than I think I would. It changed my life for the worst. Sleep deprived and constantly chasing for the next episode are the typical symptoms that are now affecting me. I feel in love with the drama because 1, it's a cute school drama life I wished I had experience. 2, It has great lessons 3. Lee Won Geun's smile.
Flipping my Middle Finger to School 2015 Who Are You
Started of great and promising but it went downhill when it was discovered that her twin sister is alive made it worst. I don't even know why I bother finishing this drama. I love school dramas, I am fascinated by twins..it has all the elements I love but the executions were bad. I'm just glad it didn't made me hate the actors. The love line made no sense to me. The only thing that gets me going is Joo Soo Hyang. Her acting is great.. I'm hoping KBS would give her award!
Sweet Finger (Jari Manis in Malay) goes to sweet She was Pretty
It may not seem perfect to other viewers but it is for me. I can't stop gushing for Hye Jin and Hari lovely friendship. I love the chemistry between the main couple so much, I don't feel sorry for Shin Hyuk. He's an oddball but I do love him. I don't have any complains for the show and thoroughly enjoyed every second of the drama.
Pinky promise was broken when I started watching Oh My Venus
I'm a bitter weird person. No matter how much it looks interesting.. I avoided OMV because I was loyal to SGG. I kinda hope OMV would have been postponed so I would get more episode to see Lee Won Geun's smile. I caved in because I got addicted to Kdrama. I thought how bad it could be (I read that the plots are boring). It was as boring as I thought it would be but I can't help myself but to continue watching the drama. I never looked back! So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah chemistry is so good.. I literally don't care for the plot. Even if it's just an hour of So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah lovingly teasing and flirting plus a dash of Jiu Jitsu scenes.. I'd pay to watch that any day. I'm not jealous of anyone.. I have a crush on both of them. Give me more cute scene!

2015 Beanie Awards, HallyuSurfer's Choice!
If you have no idea what is Beanie Awards, please don't call yourself a Kdrama fan. Joking. It's Dramabeans.com Year End Awards, I've been a fan of this awards for several years now and will always participate whether I watched little or a lot dramas for the year. I'll only include polls that I voted for, I don't watch all drama genres but I felt like this year.. I watched more than past years so I thought I would share my votes here!
Favorite Drama Top 5
1. She Was Pretty
2. Sassy Go Go
3. Unkind Women
4. Oh My Ghost
5, Producer
Although on my list, I probably won't be watching Producer again. It was fun and fresh in the beginning but I didn't like when the scriptwriter cave in to the public critics. I still love Kim Soo Hyun character so it made in my list. Unkind Women was so much fun..now that I think about it, it kinda reminds me of Reply 1988 a bit.
Favorite Comedy
1. She Was Pretty
I know a lot of fans of the show can't stand Hwang Jung Eum acting but isn't Siwon's character more annoying? Siwon is naturally greasy so I'm used to it but objectively, Hwang Jung Eum character is tolerable. I am that kind of person in my family. Luckily for me, my family find me cute..which is why I don't mind the two at all.

All About Mom
This blog starting to look more like a Kdrama blog than a Kpop blog right? I feel disconnected to my music roots lately and more like an ajumma who just want to talk trash on Kdrama gossip.
Lately this drama is not working for me.. I used to be obsess with this drama. I just feel it becoming very draggy and so many things just make me want to smash things because it's ridiculous. I should have known that weekend dramas can do this to me. It's 50 episode or more so I'm guessing Korean scriptwriters are not really capable of writing long dramas. Daily dramas are the worst and I never want to start it after gone through several.
I can't even follow any couple right now.. I think I'm staying for the parents. Although Mom is a little shy with her affection with Dad, I still find their relationship very cute.
The main couple is Kang Hoon Jae and Lee Jin Ae. Kang Hoon Jae has to be the worst kind of Momma's boy. I can't believe such son exist. Actually I find his relationship with his mother a little creepy. It's sweet but it's like they never fight at all. No such thing. I'm a Daddy's girl but I sure do quarrel with my dad often like normal father daughter relationship.
I really admire Lee JinAe character at first, now I'm just confuse. Where is the old Jin Ae? I can't decide any more if I like her character. It seem like a totally different person. Heck, I think everybody has changed.. Maybe scriptwriter change? I honestly don't know how I come to hate the person I used to like and love the person I used to hate..
Now it's like the main focus is Lee Hyeong Soon and Jang Chae Ri couple. Very cliche but not enough to skip..Okay, I probably would skipped it if I wasn't in love with Chaeri's hair! Her hair always look good. I hate this kind of coupling... it's immature and no place in my heart.
Lee HyeongKyu... I used to hate him so much! Now, not so much. I find his character cute..like Lee Seung Gi's character, HeoDang in 1n2d! HyeonJoo is such an adorable character as well. I wondered how the scriptwriter would make them together and it worked for me. I love this couple..but of course there's that usual typical obstacle.
Actually this drama is nothing new, I think I have watch all couple's drama individually in other dramas.. predictable at it's best.
Cool Mom is now Cold mom. I never like her character. She's too hypocrite but the worst character in this drama is HoonJae's Aunt. Gosh.. she is so nosy! I thought she is just this cute character because the way she talks is cute! I never thought I could hate a cute character. I would love the scriptwriter to kill off the character. I just don't think she's a good character at all. It's like scriptwriter is being lazy on how to reveal the secrets...
I will finish the drama so I hope it will get better somehow. For now I just watch for the sake of finishing it.

I typically avoid anything related to ghost..I don't believe in fictional ghost and I just don't want to mess my head with it.
After She Was Pretty, I felt empty and wanted to fill in the void so I went on Dramabeans rating page to know what's good. Angry Mom and Oh My Ghost scored high..and thus made me curious of the hype. I started with Angry Mom because got Jisoo in it and was disappointed. It's not my kind of drama. I don't think Kim Hee Sun is badass. She's just someone who fights well.
Oh My Ghost turn out good.. I wished I started with it instead. I think Park Bo Young played both characters great and it was not awkward at all. I didn't read the synopsis.. but I knew the twist. So typical, at least for me. Like do you really think Im Joo Hwan character is just plain?
Park Bo Young is so adorable.. I can't believe she's around my age! She looks waay younger. Jo Jung Seok.. I still don't get the hype. He is good looking but his acting? It's like I'm watching Jo Jung Seok.. not the Chef. It's quite similar to his character in You are the Best and the progression of character is like copy and paste.
Kim Seul Gi is a scene stealer. I always want to see her on screen because she feel so natural. I hope to watch other works by her!
PHANTOM IS BACK!
I didn't quite enjoy their solo project.. feels like it lacks something. I guess I was too eager for their comeback because when I saw their teaser released I was so excited.. and then when the MV was released I literally couldn't stop smiling.
Phantom asked, Could You Be Mine?
Oh, do you have to asked? The answer is always yes!
The song starts off with Sanchez, and I was sold. Any Phantomism can certainly tell you that the main vocalist can rap as good as his high notes. While Sanchez is my bias, I have to say that I think his part in the song is a little too much.. I wanted more Kiggen..felt his part too short for my liking.
The rhythm is kinda reminiscence of Kiggen's project Hybrefine vibe. It has a club feel but it's chill. It makes you move but in a classy manner. The rhythm is repetitive it didn't feel boring because the way Phantom sing and raps has a lot of character. I love to see the fun side of Phantom, I look forward to watch them perform and hear the fanchants. I love their adlibs a lot!
I have look up on the translation and it as sweet as I would thought it would be. Basically it's a guy wanting to get out from Some relationship. Some is kinda like Korean version of friend zone. It is that fine line between friends and lovers.
Do me a favor, Could You Be Mine
This ain't no question, there only one answer
Hey pretty young thing, you're mine
Let's get it going, I want eternity with you
(word in bold is in Korean)
It is a simple yet lovely confession. I love the chill feel in the song so it kinda feel like no pressure because all I need is one answer.
Again, My answer is YES.

FINALLY
I can't believe it took me this long to write this!
FINALLY after like 10 years of obsessing over Korea, I went to Seoul in February!
for really short 3 days!
I don't want to dwell on why I decided such a short trip because the main point is that I went! I am just happy for the fact I was there.
Obviously, I didn't get to do all the things I wanted but it felt cool to see familiar stuff on screen laid out in real life. I really do a lot of research on Korea.
Before the trip.. I was a bit wary.. Would it make me hate Korea? I scared because I know my expectations are high. Paris Syndrome (#prayforparis) coined by the Japanese, It's like cultural shock where you have all these image of a place but when you go to the place, the expectation is not fulfilled.
Turns out... I feel at home. I find myself wanting to move there. I love Malaysia but I do want to move to Seoul...some day.
I'm not going to talk about the trip..I'm not a good traveller. I basically go with the flow because my real life is very mundane. I thought being unprepared would make it more fun. Turns out I'm quite good at it. We only got lost finding the hotel! HAHA.
When will I go there again? I have no idea. I'm heading to Taipei next. Hopefully it will be good.

She was pretty
Starring : Hwang Jung Eum, Park Seo Jun, Go Jun Hee and Choi Si Won
It started out with me saying.."Let's check out one episode"
and then it was 2.30AM. BAMM! Did I mention I had to get up at 5AM?
Lesson learned, Don't start a complete drama. The risk of marathon is high!
While I love everything Korean, I don't really keep up with dramas because it takes a lot of my time. I'm already busy with Kpop and variety shows are easy to not finish watching. Dramas are like books to me, if I really like it... it's hard for me to move on!
I decided to watch it because I stumbled on random clips and it look quite interesting.
I have no idea what to expect, but I kinda think that I don't really have to watch this because I already know Hwang Jung Eum's pretty face. Normally transformation are exciting because I don't already know their pretty face but I watched HJE's dramas before so I'm used to her pretty face.
I'm glad this drama isn't about that. It's focuses more on first love or childhood love story which is another fave plot of mine.
Being overweight, I can relate Kim Hye Jin's character.. She keeps on selling herself short and when people tell her that she's pretty, she would denied it. I'm like "girl.. you are pretty!" and then realize I'm just like her. I like how she is still confident and doesn't seem like she is very conscious of her look. I've seen "ugly" characters on other dramas and I hated that they are so critical and have low self esteem. Kim Hye Jin acknowledge that she's not pretty but it doesn't dampen her spirit too much.
The drama is like a dream of mine. I'm very introvert but I wish I had someone like HaRi. Their friendship is so beautiful, I'm sad it's only fiction. I actually have similar friendship. I was on the lower end of the rank...but my friend was one of the top 3 in class. It was a weird combo that work.
Just like how Kim Hye Jin saying no to writing a 2 page article when offered by Reporter Cha, I'm reminded the days when I was placed in the top class. I keep on thinking that I didn't deserved to be in the class..to the point I ranked last. It's not that I'm not smart, I believe that I wasn't smart.
Guys like Seong Jun and Shin Hyeok are very fictional. I don't think they exist. Life would be so much fun with Shin Hyeok. I think the Shin Hyeok is a better match than Seong Jun. Their storyline is more realistic than Seong Jun. I really do root for this kind of relationship but I find it odd that their memories are sooo good. I don't even remember my primary school days and I'm in my 20's! I think their character is suppose to be in their 30's? And the fact they still retained the old habits is kinda weird. Surely something has changed beside just looks.....
Only in Kdrama land.
and I totally knew Kim Poong Ho was the nephew! HAH! I guess it because he doesn't look like he belong in fashion and out of place. Kim Shin Hyeok is too easy.. and definitely not JoonWoo.

발긱하게고고 (Sassy Go Go) Cheer Up
I can safely say that this has got to be my favorite drama of the year!
It has all the elements of Kdrama that I love, school theme, cheesy puppy love, cute friendship and light hearted. Heavy drama is usually a miss for me, I don't want to stress myself out from watching a drama, I want something that literally cheer me up like Cheer Up!
The drama is only at 12 episode which is quite unusual but I do like short drama, less commitments haha. However it does leave me wanting for more! I prayed that it would get high ratings for an extension but unfortunately it suffers very low ratings.
I love every single actors. Even N! He did received a bit of criticism here and there but I kinda get his character. Perhaps a more season actor would pull off the character better but I think it's better that way because the focus is not on N's character. I kinda have his fear, hahaha I hate skinships too.
The main reason why I love this drama is because of Lee Won Geun's smile. Damn that kid is precious. Every time he smile, grin or smirk.. my heart wants to skip a beat. He is very close to my ideal type but he is waaay too perfect. What is his flaws? Maybe I'm blind when it comes to that department. Tall and handsome, genius and loveable? Geez.
Another thing worth mentioning is the teachers. I love the dynamic between the adult character. It has presence yet it doesn't take the center stage. Teacher Yang is everybody's favorite teacher, I wish I had him in my school years. Coach Nam is gorgeous, for the life of me.. I don't get why the drama doesn't think she's pretty. Damn drama. I love her spunky character and she is the most sassy of them all. As a villain, Principal is doing a great job. I find the character very well balanced of seriousness and comedy. I hate her to bits but I do think her character is very necessary. Teacher Im is awesome too. I want to hate him but I do know where is he coming from. Despite having a full time contract he still have to brown nose his way to maintain his job. I'm quite a goody two shoes so I can relate to his character.
I would definitely recommend this drama to any School drama fans. It's very cute drama. I am going to post another post when I finish marathoning to complied my top favorite scenes!
