Did this a while back and gave up halfway (actually, wayyy less than halfway), but figured that it'd be a pity not to upload what I've already written anyway. That's a whole lot of 'way's in one sentence.

a heads up: iljimae performed very very well in terms of ratings. it completely owned the wed-thurs slot, and achieved 31% viewership for its final episode. in korea anything above 30% can be considered a blockbuster.

i finished iljimae and women in the sun yesterday. are open endings in vogue?! [spoiler] i honestly had NO IDEA whether the lead ( Read more... )

In case you're wondering what all the hype's about, this basically involves the two leading (teenybopper) girl-bands in korea swapping songs. Wonder Girls performed SNSD's Kissing You and SNSD did a cover of Tell MePersonally, I feel WG did A LOT better. They usually have a problem singing live, and I don't recall ever seeing them do girly-cutesy ( ( Read more... )

Following the release of Brown Eyes' 3rd album, thought it'd be appropriate to post their older hits from way back in 2001 and 2002, when their first and second albums were released respectively. Brown Eyes consists of Yoon Gun and Na Ul, who apparently pioneered mid-tempo ballad tracks, paving the way for bands such as SG Wannabe and Seeya. Their ( Read more... )

Mighty Mouth shot to fame earlier this year when they invited actress (and former singer of Baby V.O.X) Yoon Eun Hye to collaborate with them on their first single, I Love You (사랑해; Track #5). That song topped the chart for weeks probably just because Yoon Eun Hye's the star of Goong and Coffee Prince, but the girl can sing quite decently. ( Read more... )

I started on this drama before the exams, actually. Then came summer break and I embarked on Iljimae (which is SO TERRIBLY TRAGIC AND MELO I can't even recall it without wincing. In case you're wondering, no, I don't actually enjoy the fact that it makes me feel that way.) But as I was chatting with Elly about Fantasy Couple, I decided I needed to ( Read more... )

lovely, lovely song, too lovely for words, almost. i also love the way the video is shot in soft focus, the too-dazzling sunshine, and especially the bridge scene at the end.

그럴려고 그랬어 돌아가려고
너의 차가움엔 그래 다 이유 있었던거야
나를 만지는 너의 손길 없어진
이제야 깨닫게 되었어 네맘 떠나간 것을

I was going to do that
I was going to go back
Yes, you did have a reason for being cold
When your ( Read more... )

i don't usually post photos except of myself (teehee), but sung yuri is FREAKING GORGEOUS. this is the actress who's reputedly voted by her fellow celebs as being the prettiest in person, i think she's already beautiful onscreen (think snow queen, hello -_-) but apparently she's a drop-dead stunner in real life.

and she's AU NATURALE!! omg THIS is ( Read more... )
