On the drama table

   This year started in a bad way. I have never thought I could drop Park Shihu's drama. Alas, I did. Worse - I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever about this. There's no going back, crawling and begging to give one more chance, I'm not like a clingy "girl/boyfriend-from-Miguk-suddenly-coming" just to ruin a budding romance. Nah-uh. I dropped that, which is weird considering I finished Miss You which puzzled, irritated and emotionally drained me.

Actually it's not that weird at all. I like to feel emotionally attached to characters. That's why I don't care about many things like (horrible) fashion or (hideous) haircuts. But when something happens to characters and I'm "oh damn, I forgot to buy eggs", I know there's probably some problem.

22nd Seoul Music Awards

You're really sick when you see one thing...

Seoul Music Awards. Self-explanatory. Although I'm not happy with all the choices, but it's a given I just HAVE to rant and miaoul and maul other artists in favor of my own.

Oh yes, I'm high on sugar so I may not make sense.

Some K-rock to try out

   I didn't forget my roots (oh no, it's actually Modern Talking, scratch that), so in case anyone's wondering if K-rock exists in Korea, this handy post serves as the answer proving that yes, well it exists. Lots of the artists participated in YDH's Loveletter music show, but sadly it ceased to exist some years ago, right now some appear on YDH's MUST (no wonder, man is a rocker).

William Wei 韋禮安

   There is his website here so you can read info (or not). He has also small page on wikipedia in English, just in case. As I mentioned in earlier post, I got to know this kid through "In Time With You" OST, which quickly climbed to be one of the nicest soundtracks I listened to, it kinda gave me "Coffee Prince" vibes with its mellow, nice melodies.

Today I put the album I'm writing this short post about on my "Want it NAO!!" list and most likely will roam YesAsia or other evil websites for that (hay sis, I know what I want for Birfday).

Music report

   Since I like to share what I'm listening to, what I'm discovering in music, here comes another post about songs. Some of them are new, some of them not. Some of the songs I listen I love, yet some are left alone because I find them better than Teletubbies only. But I don't rave about them and don't listen to them.
There are some albums piling up (like Lydia's) that I have no time to listen properly, but once February starts, I will. 

Im Seulong's transition?

One of my great friends likes 2AM, and since I like them too, and I rarely post anything about them (because of no scandals, no weird things etc. only good singing, what a borefest!), this time, Seulong and his slightly different attitude from usual idols.

Troll vs. Troll

   In case any of you thought I forgot mah baby just because I mentioned him only once today, no no. Kpop is full with weird or fun friendships (what can they do, they have no possibility to meet other people so...) but those two idiots erhmm... gentlemen erhmm...  guys troll each other in a way that amuses half of the fandom. The other half is annoyed by Jjong's very existence so it doesn't amuse them.

January music

   

   Those who stalk me here or there know I have some unhealthy obssession with (very) few voices. I need familiarity (is this a word?) when I'm working on something and I don't want to focus on new sounds and get song all over to hear second and third line and maybe chorus too.

And although it's only half of the month, I decided to write a bit on songs/albums that go through my "miracle machine of happiness" that is winamp (or WMP). Big shout-out to one speshul friend who sends me samples!

Want to re-marry hubby? Hell, naw!

   The Chosun Ilbo has a great article on the question asked: "would you marry again your present spouse?" And not surprising, many Korean women have second thoughts. Men, of course, are more satisfied with marriage. Well, understandable, since Asian men do nothing except for going to work and women act as slaves housewifes. I don't even want to imagine having kids and working for woman. Under the article on the page there are links to more articles exploring a bit this topic, so you may click if you want.

2012 in Music

   Some people say 2012 was a bad year in Kpop, others say it was better than 2011. I've seen better than both, but the problem doesn't lie in Kpop as the bubble, but in those who blow it. If big agencies don't change, Kpop as a total mayhem phenomenon won't change as well.

There were some good things in 2012 music and some bad things. Anything fresh and outstanding?
