Oppa is safe??
So, Kim Jong Il is dead and girls all around the globe worry about... yes, you read that right, their oppas in the military! The son of late dictator is said to be far worse than his father, Japan braces itself, S. Korea, Australia and USA are iffy about political and military consequences.
Fangirls, on the other hand, have more serious problem. Oppa is in the military!!
Yeah, like they will be ever sent up front, if any.

So, people, What's Up!
OK, after few busy days, hectic days ahead. I moved out (old flat owners being jerks, but it's normal here), and since I have warm (WARM!!) room, I restarted watching dramas. Two, actually. The Cutie Vampire Prosecutor and What's Up!. Since I rambled few times about how awesome vampire... I mean the show, show is, now I will spazz how awesome What's Up! drama is.
Basically - this drama can be enjoyed even by those who are not into Kdrama. Why? It's about music, and believe me, music knows no boundaries, no language barriers etc.
It's universal in it's portrayal of musicals.

Ali's confession
Recent song by Ali has stirred up the public opinion, otherwise known as netizens.
She wrote a song about a rape victim, being herself one. And now she is forced to remove the song from album just because as the title she used the victim's name "Nayoung".
There are many songs with people's names as titles, "Maria", "Susannah", "Johnny B Goode", "Billie Jean", "Frankie and Johnny", or infamous "Pink Noise (Rock Me Amadeus) mehehe, just to name the few out of dozens that come to my mind right now.
Maybe it was a bit risky to use it, especially in Korea, but I still can't fathom the fuss around it.
Very disturbing story follows, so enter on your own risk.

Kisses genres
This is fun! I thought a kiss is just a kiss, but no, not in Korea. There are kisses and KISSES according to this article on HanCine. While reading this I suddenly realized that those categories are just lame and inadequate to variety of Kdrama kisses! "Foam kiss", "kimchi kiss"? Oh, pleeze, spread the word, good villagers, and let's create challenging (because Kdrama writers are sometimes" challenged" already) kiss categories!
Not for teenagers, mothers and all that element in society that feels uneasy seeing kisses. Imageheavy post.

Kdrama musings
With 2011 going to its inevitable
end, here comes the time of different statistics, charts and summaries. I will
do it as well, because it’s tempting, it is, but not right now, and since I
re-submerged (is this even a word?) into Kpop crazy fandom and find it
hilariously funny (if you don’t take it seriously, it’s Kpop after all), I will
focus more on this than dramas. But dramas, don’t worry, won’t be orphaned at
all. Oh no, too much happened in this particular world to let it be overlooked. And don't worry, I won't mention INFINITE (much), because it's boring to write all the same: "OMG, spazz spazz, flawfree, spazz spazz!". Even I get bored like that quickly.

Curses and courses
I'm starting to believe in curses. Happy me lived her entire life shunning this and putting this into mythology pages. But it's real! It has to be real, because ever since August I had maybe 2 weeks of relatively good health. And now probably students who haven't learned kanji on time wished the classes were cancelled.
Oh well, there is a rational reason for that - my flat is too cold and too crappily built so accidents and sicknesses happen like that. But what's even more suspicious - ever since I started working here, I never was on a sick leave. Hmm... I bet it's Illiterati... I mean Illuminati's doing!

Love peace ebbryone
JYJ Berlin concert interview with subs and Chunface. If you feel bad, or down, just look at that face and all your troubles disappear. 100% efficiency.
He should be prescribed... Hmmm... *naughty fantasies alert*
And since I'm in a fuzzy wuzzy mood (I finished an article in 48 hours, and I'm going to get dead drunk to celebrate that, my other article got published! yeah...) Big Dipper Christmas video.
I guess they decided to not to wait for Mayan end of the world and die from overworking.

Some songs
Since What's Up! finally arrived, maybe two videos. First - of course Lunatic by Daesung, and second - YB (some people will be happy they won an award lately at MAMA).
Before I put those here, one small clarification. I do like Dae's voice a lot. But in the video they used raw material, and it doesn't sound like mixed properly (there is a huge gap between how his voice sounds and how music sounds), and it looks like demo version. The audio alone is of better quality.
Second, if it's not any hoax, I'm shocked. I really am.
I do hope it's not a hoax and it's really Dae, cause I love this song.

Adopt me!
Uhm. OK, after crawling back from gutter, I'm there yet again...
Full resolution of pics, and some others that didn't interest me are here under that link.
The campaign is called Love Letter Campaign and targets the adoption of abandoned babies. Not that maternal instincts suddenly kicked in, but any reason to mention flawless being that is Park Shihu is a good reason.
Three more under the cut.

Winter is coming
Sorry for lack of any activity here, but my invisibility will last until December 10th. On the day before, one conference takes place and I have loads to prepare.
But when I close and settle everything, I will troll and I will spam yet again! Kind of resurrection soon.
I'm also looking for a new flat with one condition I'm taking as the guidepost - warm. All I need is more than 15 degrees in the winter, and I don't find it too extravagant. The place I live now doesn't even deserve the rent fee, not to mention private owner fee.
When snow hits my city, I will post some pictures as well, hopefully my shoes will be fixed then, my DVD drive will be fixed then, and chain of my extremely bad luck this year will be broken then.
“Best of the Best”
Oh, I already now who will win, but anyway, doing what I can to rig the polls, mehehe.
The voting website is here.
Again, another poll on popularity more than being best, honestly.
