Official stills for Kim Namgil's double life in "Live Up To Your Name"

Because I, having so much free time, translated some article.
Enjoy^^

Hallyu future?

We've been saying this for some time now. K-entertainment needs a change, dramas need new ideas (main station dramas, somehow cable is doing just fine), Kpop needs new visuals.

I'm not saying every drama should look from now on like Game of Thrones (second season) but yes, we've been bitching about repetitiveness of those. New motifs, new plots (this is why I loved Evasive Inquiry Agency - no goddamn love-line!). Oh, and a new set of fangirls and netizens would be good too.

And if I may be viscious again - just when a band appeared that brings freshness and originality to to pop music, fans disregard their latest album as 'not MAMA-like'. Go to hell. And stay there.

New level of journalism

   I've said that so many times now - Nate has crappy articles. They have bad journalists. I'm not the Pullitzer candidate either but maybe, I hope, my sentences make sense. Or at least majority of them. Nate articles make no sense, usually. They also cover some ridiculous topics, gossip and hilarious polls. I wouldn't even write about this if I didn't go to HanCinema yesterday and I saw one article translated from Nate. It may be the translation, or it may be not. I translate a lot and I may say one thing - even the best translating skills won't make an Einstein out of ie. The Diva, so I wouldn't blame the translation just because the base article is stupid behind any limits.

The merry bunch of some of us from here went there and commented.

Guardian Angel Kim Beom explodes

   I wouldn't mind him giving... erm.. OK, let's stop here.

I was bored out of my mind during my consultation hours at work (one student came), so I was browsing mah friend that is google (yeah, they can track me) and I found one easy article but in Japanese. When I wanted to find the original for it, I must admit - I was defeated. I couldn't find the original source. The Japanese website didn't give the link back to the article. Talk about copyright protection, mehehe. Anyway, it's hard to believe (and concentrate) but 5 minutes ago I found the base article, by sheer chance (don't ask me what I'm doing). They are not exactly the same as the wording and some sentences are totally different, and I'm devastated enough to not re-translate it this time from Korean. I just added missing lines.

Forgive me my sleaz... laziness.
