Roots of everything is Korea

   Once I had a talk with... ekhem... a friend and we both disagreed on Western and Korean sense of humor. I said I can't sometimes get it. Today I got an email with only one link. 

I died laughing hysterically while watching those videos. Korean humor at its finest. No, not even a humor, the best trolling (except for Facebook Official, of kors).

Be prepared for something really, really hilarious. Koreans do know how to laugh at themselves, me seems.

The (Rooftop) Prince is here

Bow down, you wenches and peasants, before the Royal Derpness!

  
   I didn't want to write the obvious obviousness, because this drama already appeared on my side bar under "Watching" title, so... So far we have tons of whacky fun, but also a bit of exploring of human soul. It doesn't need to be Kafka-deep for me to be entertaining.

48th Baeksang Awards

   No, the ceremony will be held in April, but I started to stalk their website (link courtesy of KingKong Ent), and I came accross "popularity" part. Voting is from 3 parties: websites like Nate, Olleh, phone calls, and android app. Until April 23rd.

Dummy Mommy

   This drama is my guilty pleasure. I started to watch this because of Shin Hyeonjun, and oh boy, he delivers! I've been always walking on a brink of war with SBS productions, but this year, it's the best broadcast so far from all main three. Salaryman, Rooftop and this one. Sadly, this drama doesn't get that much love, but maybe it will change when Kim Jeonghun will get more screentime, so that his fangirls will watch and swoon.

This is another drama that is based on a book, this time "Babo eomma" published in 2005. Maybe this is why it has a slightly different feel to it.

12 Men in a Drama

   I'm a bit snarky today. A lot happened this week, and in the end it left me both depressed and infuriated. To lighten my mood a bit, I started to watch 12 Men in a Year again, since there are subs already, and I'm not that self-conceited to say I don't need subs, because I'm so damn special I learned Korean while watching few dramas and through song lyrics. I need subs to get the jokes, just to name only one reason. D-A had couple of morons' invasions as well, no less destructive that Mongol invasion of Goryeo. 

Tei, again Tei

   I have few, unhealthy even, obsessions with voices, and Tei is one of them. I re-discovered his appearance on I'm a Singer from January, and last weekend was divided into this fabulous voice, some Jonghyeon (namely 7 Years of Love) and yea, some Kpop too (read: KRY's 1/3rd).

Not that the rest of my list was abandoned, but the repeat button was almost raeped.

Hero - antihero

   So I watched first, over 1.45 hour long episode of it and have one thing to say - I'm sold. Proper sci-fi series with visible OCN style and technique. Few minor flaws that don't undermine the overall quality of this drama. No, no drama, a series. 

Rooftop Prince update

   As we know, Yucheon returned to the set earlier than expected, and few new stills plus new teaser is out. Tumblr is already full of gifs from those. I guess, contrary to the beginning, this drama will have a special meaning to everyone, most of all, to the main man involved. But also normal, usual fans will be constantly aware of huge real-life drama behind it.

Anyway, let's hope it will be fun.

Military revolt in Goryeo

   The revolt resulted in shift in power from royal family tied closely to aristocratic families. Military officials (namely Choe) lasted for about a century and crumbled under Mongol invasion.

This is thought as the background for Mushin series, because the history layout in the first episodes may seem a little bit complicated.
