Of all the random coincidences...

Jan 18, 2011 15:19

You know how I was obsessing about Rock Rock Rock over the weekend and was binging on Dream High today?

Imagine my shock that the song DH uses for its song-off meet between two of its characters is the song that was featured so prominently in RRR.

Here are Wooyoung and Kim Su Hyun going at it:

Here is Buhwal with Lee Seung Chul doing it:

I think this might be the original version of the song Memories III/sing-off song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4YGWPZTFLY&feature=related

I believe I love you. And also - this is the version I love the best of the ones I heard.

*plays on repeat*

Yep. Nothing beats the original. My 4 year old daughter loves the song as well and does this emo swaying whenever I play it. Dream High sounds like Korean Fame, there is singing, dancing, high school, very pretty boys. Going to download it now.

I love that song as if there is no tomorrow. As I commented downthread, if someone wrote something like that for me, I might eve forgive a couple of drug binges (but only a couple :P)

DH is very cute.

I don't think that is a coincidence ... Kim Tae Won is one of KBS's stars... he is in the variety show Happy Sunday - Qualifying Men segment- I must confess that I was curious and even watched them a few times (once it seemed like he talked about his wife like she was God on Earth... but after RRR I should rewatch the ep... to see if I heard/read right)-surprisingly their show had even better ratings than the drama after a quick search I found even a 23% sometimes in July 2009 ( ... )

LOL - so is NMW too old or too young? 24-25 is fine especially since he doesn't look young for his age. Anyone under 23 is too young for me though. I really want to see NMW in Midas but the terminal illness thing is not making me happy. I avoid those dramas with almost no exceptions.

Yup, the DH cover was definitely pop. That may be why I prefer the original - I generally prefer rock over pop. No offense to DH kids - they sing well and are talented, but it's less my cup of tea.

Yes, I agree, I've been seeing all sorts of references lately. Hmmm. I like it :)

I saw tihanasan's link a few months ago...then ..and now I was more impressed by the female singer...who I thought at that time she is a professional because she has - soul... and made me listen more carefully that I listened the guys

I really like her voice too. I wonder if RRR is accurate and that is actually his wife singing. And speaking of - it seemed like he talked about his wife like she was God on Earth - well, he should think that seeing what the woman put up with ( ... )

don't worry NMW had his share as trainwreck too.(only kguy that beats his depressions is Yoo Ah In)-but I didn't heard of drugs from him(maybe because a few kguys got to jail... or just because is a NO NO )

this is the "Too young version of NMW"(5-6 years ago)

( ... )

OMG the hair and the outfit. It's like KISS is back :P

I always get nervous when I hear about depressions in relation to k-entertainers, what with their crazy suicide rates.

Dream High is messing with my brain. I don't know who I ship anymore! Each episode gives me a different ship. In ep 5 when Hyemi sang the song I totally shipped her and Jin Gook. This is killing me!!!

dangermousie January 20 2011, 20:13:33 UTC

I am pretty set in my ships but the other ones are doing pretty strongly too.

I'm wondering how many new fans Boohwal has gained since RRR. :)

KTW seems to have a talent in finding superb vocalist. Every single one has been very good in their own way.

I like the DH version of the song too though the original is the best, obviously. It's quite hard to ruin a good song if they keep to the score even if the rendition and feeling is different.

dangermousie January 20 2011, 20:13:12 UTC

Well, at least one :)

DM! Hello. Hagrid here. Hope you still remember me. Anyway I'm still silently lurking and keeping up with your blog. I've been watching the stuff you rave about. I'm watching Gloria but for some reason I'm stuck at EP 38. I dunno I guess maybe I'm that afraid to step into the territory of the impending doom but mostly because law school is kicking my ass and I can only manage to religiously follow one kdrama at a time ( ... )

Re: hagrid here dangermousie January 20 2011, 20:12:45 UTC

Of course I remember!

And I am addicted to DH too!

Good luck with law school and thanks for the links!
