Team Colorbar!

I thought they will call their group Monstar and these group of kids caught up by a "poop incident" dare to challenge their schools resident band "All for One". I love this show so much and last night when I watched episode 7, I'm loving it more and more. I was saddened to read that it is just scheduled for 12 episodes, which means only 5 episodes more to go. This episode is packed with a lot of nice songs, which starts with the swoon-worthy song for I believe Se-yi, duet of Sun-woo and Na-na, All for One's rendition of Amazing Grace and lastly, Colobar's performance.

SPOILER AHEAD!

This episode is a Kim Na-na episode. I knew that she has a powerful voice. I mean she will not be put there without any exceptional talent. As I read through different comments on dramabeans, I learned that she (Kim Na-na) is a member of GLAM (GirLs be AMbitious) and her name is Dahee. We already saw her singing abilities on episode 6. The only one that we don't know whats her talent is, is Eun-ha aside from writing fanfics and a good friend. 

  first song in episode 7, I still don't know the title

Bad Kang Ha-neul! Bad! Why do you strum the guitar and sing like that? I was not supposed to root for you. I learned the hard way how rooting for the second lead, leads to nothing. Hello? He/she will not be called second lead for nothing. If only we can take him with us -- those wasted second leads. But I heart you. Can't blame Na-na either. Sigh.

Sun-woo catches Na-na... swoon!

Usually, with this kind of face-off plot of a musical, we know how things works. One member gone missing and just comes in just in the nick of time to save the day! That's Kim Na-na for you! When Seol-chan said "Thank you", its like saying "prepare your minds to be blown away". I like the confidence that he had and it binds the group somehow. And boy they rock!

Colorbar's performance is part 5 of Monstar OST. Hit play to listen. and you can check various site to see Monstar online (dramacrazy, gooddrama).

Don't Make Me Cry (날 울리지마)

Loving Monstar!

My Kdrama life continues, though my last entry was about Flower Boy Next Door. So far I've finished "Unexpected You" while I'm on vacation its a 50+ episodes, yes I can't believe myself either that I was able to finish that show. Its a good one and its bearable to watch till the end. 

Right now I enjoy watching Monstar! Its being shown every Friday only, which is a total pain, though each episode is longer that the usual 2-episode a week drama. I love watching high school drama plus this is a musical! No, its not just another Dream High or Glee (whatever happened to that show? because I stopped watching). I've been loving every episodes but last Friday's episode is a blast for several reasons (might contain spoilers):

1. Less bickering between Se-yi and the star, Seol-chan. Ha! I love it when he says "I'm a Star"
2. More background stories for the other characters 
3. Nana lighting up, see everyone has a soft spot, I think she has a big crush on Sun-woo
4. The duet of Do-nam and Kyu-dong of 2NE1's I am the Best! 
5. Do-nam's beatbox perf.
6. Seol-chan back-hugging Do-nam to stop him from leaving, and how others stopped him as well. Awwwww moment for me.

Monstar has been covering popular Kpop songs and I will try to get them all! Right now I manage to rip and convert to mp3 the I am the Best duet of Do-nam and Kyu-dong and the beatbox too! I will use this as my ringtone!

For recap of this drama, you know where to go to, dramabeans! To see it online go to dramacrazy.

FBND 11 - Enrique is in love

This is a screen grab of tomorrow's episode! yay! Enrique smiles all the time, but boy, I could see that he is in love with that smile! I watched episode 11 raw. I told my friends who are camping out in dramacrazy like me to not expect any smooching, just a standard kdrama kiss for us. 

I know, I know why just one entry for Flower Boy Next Door given the fact that I wish its Monday and Tuesday and the wish of all wish, understand Hangeul. I just think that when I will put an entry for that, it will be gibberish for I'll giggle every now and then and will look at my screen grabs often that I may not put any sense with my sentences in which you are probably noticing right now for I am looking at Enrique!

Good night!

Appreciating Nice Guy Finale

image from dramabeans.com

I don't know how you watch a drama, a Kdrama. For me I watch it as it is, and refuses to understand every detail and for me that is entertainment, less use of brain cells. However, as I frequently read dramabeans' recaps and my co-readers comments, I somehow see the need of watching into certain details of the drama, analyze it or even worse, rewrite the ending. For me that is not entertainment anymore. Or maybe I just lack analytical skills? is that bad?

[SPOILERS]

Anyway, Nice Guy, ended last Thursday and I want a happy ending. Kang Maru is such a nice guy to simply end up dead as a resolution for his character and Eun-gi live a sad life to simply have her love of her life dead. I just realized that only one person died in this drama, just the president.

The bad guys ended up in jail that in this drama crimes seems to have a lesser year of punishment. I was about not to watch the remaining quarter of the finale for my heart is already sore. Seeing Kang Maru, bleeding to death and lying on cold pavement with nobody around. I still wish to know some other details like most readers commented and even the writer of the recap, WHAT HAPPENED TO TAESAN? 

Surely, Eun-gi is not the president as she is now a shop owner of a rather not so nice pastries. Just finishing up that sentence makes me wanna go to dramacrazy and watch the last quarter of episode 20 for the happy ending part is rather short, though I am still satisfy, but I want more. The drama used amnesia sparingly here. Atty. Park while in coma made me think "Oh, he will donate something to Maru, for Maru to live" but realized that Maru needs a new brain or something. Not an eye, heart or kidney. It will be nice to see Eun-gi sensed that something is so wrong with Kang Maru and rushed back to him and seeing Kang Maru almost dead but she managed to bring him to the hospital and as he gain his consciousness, asked "Who are you?" to Eun-gi and his vision blurred only hearing Eun-gi screaming at him "It's me Kang Maru, Eun-gi-ya, let's run away..." 

happy ending!

Still I like the ending for it gave us a happy ending, seeing them in a peaceful countryside. We don't know how long Kang Maru had his memories back. But it doesn't matter for its back. The child which I initially thought to be their daughter, for it the name is "Kang". I am thinking, maybe one of the side effects, were remembering then, forgetting. Maybe at one point they have a kid, then eventually forgets everything, then remembering again... hahaha!

I forgot about the ring. So he had it all along. Such a nice background, and I wonder where it could be? As I wrote my FB status this morning (I finished watching at 4 am) I am with a big smile. I am so happy for Nice Guy, Song Joong Ki. Daebak!

Answer me 1997 - Subs Please!

Nostalgic. This is what the show offers.  After seeing 2 episodes (well because its the only episodes with subs, if not I will not be writing, thus my withdrawal from this drama).  After I watched CNBLUE's MTV Unplugged, I put in the Blue Storm DVD.  I stopped watching to let my roommate use the TV, which is by the way you TV screwed the first part of video, so I ended up replaying the beginning of the show. Going back, I've been reading some praises for this drama left and right. I was so cautious not to start with it till I see enough English subbed episodes, but I gave it a try.  Why? to refrain from watching Gaksital raw!  Even if I posted on Facebook, "I want it RAW", I stopped myself to fully enjoy Gaksital. This addiction is getting worse. Let me google for a drama patch.

I once said to my 6th grade classmate, that my grade school days are the things which I would like to bury, thus reminiscing those days were not good.  Its funny how she views me differently from the way I see myself back then. It haunted my highschool a bit and even through college. The bite of bitterness still surfaces, though already moved on. This show reminds me of those years, though it may not be as colorful as what this show showcases. The thinking of being wise and sure back then, is now just being naive.  Your true love is just a big crush now. Whoa! Saying those is like saying "I'm grown up now!" and "matured", or NOT! hehe!

To our English Subs Fairies (they should be called "fairies" seriously), I beg you to sub all episodes!

Gaksital Ep 13 & 14 - SO BAD!

So bad that it let me bit my nail, scream dali, dali! (faster, faster!) and worse, even said the F word!  The word that I managed to get out of my vocabulary simply blurted out of my mouth. Never watched a drama that I got so involved.  There's some spoiler below, better watch it with subs at kimchidramas.net or dramacrazy and to be entertained with recaps and viewers comments, go over to dramabeans.

After the brief romantic scene of Gaksital and Mokdan, its all business now!  The Oplan Ruin the Annexation Commemoration Celebration is to be realized.  And yes, Shunji yells, GAKSITAAAAL!

Its all success for the Gang and Gaksital but Damsari was caught.  Really with that kind of security and lack of gadgets like what we see in M.I. how can you escape.  I really like how Kimura found Kang-to lying on the floor beaten as well.  I don't care how he managed, that but our Kang-to did!  hehe!

It just killed me upon seeing Leader Jo, inside the torture cage with big spikes all over!  And to top that, Shunji is rocking the box with Leader Jo inside, looks a little bored and is like giving his legs an exercise! (this is the part where I said it) When a liquid flowed under the box, I thought that he peed due to to pain and die, but its just blood and he still alive and agreed to cooperate.  Dunno if its part of the ingenious plan (I hope it is) of Mokdan to lure Shunji and rescue his dad.

This show is so bad that they left us with Shunji, overhearing Kang-to asking Damsari where is Boon-Yi and that she is in danger! Show why? Why would you left us with that and let us yearn for Wednesday to come, totally ruining my other dramas.

[caption id="attachment_2091" align="aligncenter" width="620"] Kang-to you should be more careful[/caption]

I can't wait for Wednesday and I bet everyone that watches Gaksital, screams for the same thing!

The King 2 Hearts Episode 10 - Made my noodles very soggy!

Well that's what you will get if you tend to multitask with kdrama on the other hand, not just any kdrama, but its The King 2 Hearts! I was cooking an instant stir fry noodle that supposed to be cooked within 2-3 minutes and I think I cooked for 15 minutes since that's how long each part of The King 2 Hearts when you watch it online! hahaha! serves me right! As a penalty I ate it I just put a little oyster sauce and and hard boiled eggs (which is hardly hard boiled because up to now I don't know how long does an egg gets hard boiled).  I finished it with TK2H and its delicious! haha.. But still I would not suggest that you watch kdrama and do something else like cooking.

 The subs are available now yay! Enjoy! Can't wait for next week's episodes!

Fashion King - Episode 1 and 2!

Fashion King aired last March 19.  I didn't see a glimpse of it.  I will watch this drama because of Yoo Ah In. Its already up in dramacrazy.  Episode 1 complete with subs while Episode 2 is still raw.  If you care about recaps, there's one in dramabeans for episode 1.

I wonder how can I get my life back with all these dramas!  Up for tonight is Rooftop Prince and The Kings 2 Heart!

Did you see Fashion King? Are you excited with Rooftop Prince and The Kings 2 Heart?  After a week it will be Love Rain too!

Finale - Episode 20 The Moon that Embraces the Sun comes to an End

Its finally the end for the Moon/Sun! I'm not gonna tell anything because that will not be reliable because I don't understand Korean language I am watching raw through dramacrazy. Enjoy!

RAW! - The Moon that Embraces the Sun Episode 19 is up!

Just got home from bible study, and realized that its Episode 19 night of Moon/Sun! Its up at dramacrazy.net but its raw.  Tomorrow I'll read dramabeans' recap.  I haven't seen episode 18 honestly, I just browsed the raw videos and read the recaps in dramabeans <-- new found friend! Will marathon the last 3 episodes on Saturday! For those who can understand Korean and that internet connection is fast (tudou is really slow), enjoy!

The Moon That Embraces the Sun Episode 18 RAW!

Two more episodes to go... Right now I am viewing episode 17 RAW and just looking at their facial expressions (got to really really learn hanguel). Hope the subs would come soon. Honestly I was hoping for a more dramatic way of reunion between the Sun and the Moon. Instead we were greeted by an action scene.

Episode 18 is up but RAW, I guess everything (with subs) will be up on Saturday.  After the night walk walk and kiss night, they retire to the sleeping chamber, but Hyung-sun is between them.  Somehow (again just judging with their facial expressions) Wol.. still like to call her that... managed to convince Hyung-sun to go out!  His majesty even screamed at Hyung-sun's face probably talking him out to leave but to no avail.  Hwon is so cute throwing a tantrum because he just won't leave. haha
