Let the drama marathons begin ;)

Holidays have started so I can start my drama watching again.

To be honest, I started watching dramas like a week ago but this will be guilt-free drama watching ;)

Last week I started watching kdrama You’re Beautiful and I have to confess I AM INSANELY ADDICTED AND OBSESSED with it! It has been an incredibly incredibly long time since I was last in love with a drama like this, I managed to watch and catch up with the episodes in like 2-3 days even though I had exams to study for. I normally dislike korean dramas because they’re either too sad for me or the acting just bores me e.g. Goong, Full House, Boys over Flowers…the list goes on and on. So far the one and only kdrama I have managed to finish and thoroughly enjoy was My Girl even though there were still some little things that annoyed me (like Lee Dong Wook’s crazy *I’m having a heart attack* expressions). But as of now You’re Beautiful hasn’t particularly annoyed me yet, I’ll write up a full review when I finish it though.

I’ve also started watching Nodame Cantabile…actually, I’m technically half way through it but I think YB has wrecked NC for me XD I’m not enjoying it as much now that YB has taken over my life but I’ll try to have it finished and write a review on it anyway. The drama seems to be a bit exaggerated for me but after reading various websites on it I think it’s meant to be like that since it’s based on a manga?

Can anyone recommend me a drama to add to my list? Go under the cut to see the list I have…

Kary Ng x Eason Chan @ Jade Singers Anniversary

The other day I was watching TVB’s Jade Singers Anniversary 2009 when I saw a duet with Kary and Eason which you can watch below. I was amazed at how much Kary has improved after not being able to watch any of her live performances all year since I don’t have TVBJ anymore T__T She hit those high notes pretty much perfectly near the end of the song and I was wowed.

See for yourself (:

Very solid performance (Y) I hope I get to see this girl in concert one day!

Big Bang – 声をきかせて (Let me hear your voice) + mp3 ringtone

Big Bang never disappoint, I am so obsessed with this song right now ♥ I love how Big Bang are releasing some slow stuff now, it’s good to have something different to listen to every once in a while. I know Big Bang have changed a bit over the years and people miss their old hip hop songs but I personally prefer songs like 声をきかせて and Stay :P Anyways, 声をきかせて is very pretty imo. It’s not a full on ballad because I’d say it sounds kinda rnb-ish. Whatever the genre is, the song is addictive even though it doesn’t have the typical repetitive lyrics that all the other catchy songs have. Once again, TAEYANG AND DAESUNG ♥♥ I love their vocals in slow songs, they sound so smooth (:

Also, check out their live performance of the song HERE

Their vocals were pretty much close to perfect and they even have a little dance for the song ^^ Dance wasn’t anything special but beats just standing there singing because the song isn’t powerful enough for that kinda performance. And to top all that off, every member has nice hair ;) I’m so in love with T.O.P’s recent look ♥

Btw, today I was searching everywhere for an mp3 ringtone for this song but couldn’t find a proper one so I gave up and made my own. Thought I’d post it here in case anyone else wanted it. I so want someone to ring me right now :P

Download ringtone here.

JaeChunSu vs SME; over it much?

Is anyone else sick of all this drama involving DBSK and SME? Cos I know I am.

I’m not even going to bother taking sides now not that it will affect them in any way but I’m just over all of this. Before I was on JaeChunSu’s side not liking SME for ‘making’ them sign the ’slave’ contract (even though technically LSM didn’t point a gun at their heads and forced them to sign it) but thinking realistically, can’t Jaejoong, Junsu and Yoochun just give up and hack the fact that they’ve already signed the 13 year contract and they might as well live with it like what Yunho and Changmin are doing. The impression I’m getting is that they signed it however many years ago hoping SME can make them famous and then now that they are famous they just want to leave SME because they’ve got what they wanted. I don’t care if it’s a so called ’slave’ contract, the term ’slave’ seems to be a bit exaggerated because come on, without SME would they be this successful? They may not get a large percentage of the profits but I’m sure their incomes are still quite high compared to the average person who has to pay rent, food, electricity and like 10 other bills whereas SME provided DBSK with a majority of those things.

These 3 are telling people to “always keep the faith” but I don’t really see them keeping it. If they were to keep the faith they should be satisfied with what they’ve achieved so far in life and continue working with the other 2 members promoting DBSK to make the group even more successful. Right now they are risking their careers by going to court with SME because I believe DBSK will only excel even greater lengths as a 5 member group, I really don’t want to see them split up and going their separate ways.

One last thing, they should remember that without SME there wouldn’t even be a Dong Bang Shin Ki; shouldn’t they be grateful that SME created the group in the first place.

This is just a personal opinion so please don’t bash me (: I will still always love DBSK, the group that got me into kpop in the first place!

Raymond Lam ‘Let’s Get Wet’ Concert (林峰，峰情無很演唱會)

I ordered this concert like over a month ago and after a lot of issues, it has finally arrived :D Watched it as soon as I got it last night and I was very very impressed. More than impressed actually, I’m in love with Raymond all over again <3 When I first heard about Raymond having a concert at the HK Colosseum I had mixed feelings about it because even though he’s been singing theme songs for years, he’s only released 3 albums and he hasn’t really had much experience as a proper singer.

All pictures posted are thumbnails because they are huge in size but my scanner is so LQ =_=”

I like wrote an essay on this concert so I’ll hide the rest under a cut.

Welcome back Taeyang!

Taeyang is going to have his comeback very very soon and I am VERY VERY excited! Today YG released his new song, “Where U At” and the music video for it and I’m loving both!

The music video wasn’t anything too flashy, it was basically just Taeyang dancing to the song but gosh I love his moves! He’s very smooth and a very charismatic dancer. The song has a big rnb feel to it which matches Taeyang’s style which is also why I love this guy so much, he smashes those rnb songs with his soulful voice!

At the end of the MV they play a tiny segment from his next song Wedding Dress and omg I am in LOVE already. It was a sad piano melody which kind of reminded me of Big Bang’s Stay. I’m so freaking excited about the release of Taeyang’s new album now, the anticipation is killing me!
