Two new songs recently released ^^.


Hwanhee & May Doni - 남남 (Strangers)

Hwanheeeee! I've missed his voice :)). I have no idea who May Doni is, but she's got a nice voice and sings very well too. Their voices complement each other's well!

Yesung & Luna - 너를 사랑하고 (And I Love You)
I totally squealed when I saw this duet; Yesung and Luna are both awesome singers :)). I don't think I need to say how much I love Yesung('s voice), but I actually really like Luna too; she's one of my favourites out of all the girl groups ^^. Her voice is lovely ♥♥♥. I especially love her parts in this song. And this is a great ballad! Even though coming from me, that's extremely not trustworthy, but it is really nice hehe :).


Time to buy another Mnet card XP.

Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are


The sweetest song of the decade :)). This song is so relevant, because someone you love would always look perfect in your eyes, even with his/her imperfections.

Bruno Mars is freakin' AMAZING live. He sounds even better live than on records. He's going to be so big, I know it.

Just The Way You Are

Grenade MV | 1 2

Seriously, if he comes to Singapore I am SO going. And I only know two songs of his, mind.

Interviews of 2PM and MBLAQ in Singapore with ScanationSG

MBLAQ

LOL they are so hilarious! G.O is so random LMAO he made me laugh so much! Oh anyway after the concert, G.O became my favourite member! Not that it matters actually since I'm not even a fan of MBLAQ XP.

2PM
Taecyeon's answer to what he'd do when he falls for someone at first sight was SO funny: "I would probably yell something out loud, or do something crazy to get her attention, and she'll be like, 'What a crazy person', she'll walk away. HAHAHA that's so Taecyeon-like. Anyway I'm in the midst of watching Wild Bunny (along with SHINee's Hello Baby ^^) and I like Taecyeon! Despite his image and appearance, he's really a dear :).

Younha - 내 남자친구를 부탁해 (Please Take Care of My Boyfriend)



Younha is back with a new EP! It consists of songs she had previously released as a single or OSTs, including an acoustic version of Waiting, which is so pretty :)). The pictures in the album jacket are totally gorgeous *___*. This song is the only new song. It's a very nice ballad, but it's really sad, like most of her ballads are. Check out the perfect live performance too!

The MV is adorable, but the ending was sad :(. Younha was sooo adorable at 0:56 XD. Kim Dong Wook! He's that "MY CHANNNN" guy in Coffee Prince hehe I like him.

Anyway, the title of the song is so similar to Beast's 내 여자친구를 부탁해 (Take Care Of My Girlfriend). I hope they will have a special stage or something someday; I'll die happy then XDD.

Playful Kiss























It's a very cute drama! The story is lackluster because of the lack of conflict; everything seems too ordinary. There were some potentially interesting plots which were not developed and was left hanging or ended too abruptly, and sometimes the editing feels choppy. But then again, it has a lot of cute moments which made me smile ^^. After he 16 episodes, be sure to watch the Youtube Special Edition, Making Film and Baek Seung Jo's Diary, all in glorious HD and English-subbed, on the official Youtube channel! Especially the Making Film, 'cos Hyunjoong is ever-hilarious and him and Jung So Min are cute together!

Hyunjoong did well in portraying Seung Jo :). His scenes seemed natural and save for a couple of scenes (because I'm picky that way), the emotions were well played out. The subtle changes in emotion, like a simple curt or the little smiles, were great. I think he improved a lot since Boys Over Flowers. Of course, there's still lotsa room for improvement, especially for the more intense emotions, but I believe he can do it!







And Hyunjoong is the most perfect-looking being on Earth, for real. I mean, seriously, how can one look so insanely gorgeous?! When his hair is wet, I go into total spazzy mode LOL. And when he looks at Ha Ni in a taunting way, I DIE OKAY. His eyes, his smile... I can go on and on and on, but I shall restrain myself haha. Just, GUH *___*. But perfect Hyunjoong aside, Seung Jo is far from being perfect. He's stubborn as a mule and is also a narcissist. But well, I'd kill to have his brain. ROFL.











































Jung So Min did really well as Ha Ni, I thought. She was so sincere, so genuine that one can't help but feel for her, even though Ha Ni was so frustratingly annoying sometimes. Her smile is just so real, you can feel yourself smiling with her. And she looks very cute! She looks like Yoon Eun Hye from some angles haha. Her hair is very pretty; it looks really smooth and nice :D.
















Seung Jo is a genius with an equally high EQ on normal days, but he likes -- and I mean he gets satisfaction from -- torturing Ha Ni. He said it himself, "It's fun. I live to tease Oh Ha Ni." It so childish 'cos he's like a little kid who can't own up to his feelings, just has to hav
e things his way and never admits to defeat. But I guess that's his way of expressing affection, which albeit questionable, is rather adorable. To us viewers, at least; I think if I were Ha Ni I'd be suuuuper annoyed lol. Still, I think it's a fresh change how in this version, we can clearly see Seung Jo's feelings for Ha Ni growing, even though she didn't find out until much later. And if we were to look closely into their relationship, actually Ha Ni is the one who always gets her way, even if she may not realise it herself haha XD.













































At this point, I need to rant. Why do so many people keep asking why Seung Jo loves Ha Ni? I mean, I get that he seems perfect and she, in comparison, hardly seems like someone he would fall for. But people, have you ever experienced what love is like? You don't need a reason to love someone; love knows no reason.

Bong Joon Gu is very likeable! He's a really devoted, sweet guy. His accent is kinda cute too haha. He's just really similar to Ha Ni, though, so he can be embarrassing at times XP. He had that reeeeally ridiculous Elvis hair for a good half of the drama, but after his make-over he looked really good too! I'm happy that he got his own happy ending in the end ^^.

Hae Ra is totally the female version of Seung Jo. How can two people be so alike? Anyway, she is not hateful or anything, but sometimes I suspect she has a bit of a bipolar personality LOL. Lee Si Young is so tall and skinny! And pretty too. I didn't even know that she broke up with Junjin already :/.

Isn't Seung Jo's little brother, Eun Jo, like, the most adorable thing EVER? He's like, such a brat, but he's actually really sweet and shy! He's mature for his age, sensitive, smart and very reliable when the time calls for it. He is my favourite character in this whole drama XDD. LOLOL am I turning into a pedo now?! HAHAHA. But really, I like him a lot! He's such a dear :). And he looks like the mini version of Kim Hyun Joon from V.O.S lol. And and and he's just SOOOO CUTE! And I'm gonna ignore the very last scene of Eun Jo at the ending which shows that he's probably gonna grow up like Seung Jo LOL.









The Baek brothers are adorable okay XD.























I like the other cast members too! Especially Seung Jo's parents. His mum is so cool, but scary in a way haha ^^;;. His father is cute hehehe. The actor who plays Ha Ni's dad is really good at acting too. Oh and Kyung Soo sunbae! He's really kind :).

I think the ending is TOO HAPPY LMAO. Like, everyone has his/her happy ending! That's so unrealistic hahaha. But well, it's a drama so I guess it's fine ^^;;.

Miscellaneous adorable pictures!

041210 Mnet Ultimate Live Asia in Singapore























The sound system sucked. It totally did not do their voices justice, and I'm angry at that :/. (Or maybe because I was standing directly in front of the speaker, since somehow in my fancams the sound was actually not as bad as I thought it was.) Still, even with the mic glitches and horrible speaker, the artists did well. I had lotsa fun! We were very close to the stage and a lot of times we could see them quite clearly :). All of them look the same as they do on screen, which means that they look damn good XD.

First was MBLAQ! Lee Joon is so good-looking *__*. His dance solo was awesome! G.O is a really good singer. I was so surprised to realise that he looks a lot like Rain lol.

Next was Miss A! Suzy didn't come, but the other 3 members did well all the same. I felt that they weren't receiving enough cheers so even though I'm not a fan, I cheered for them really loudly hehe. During their performances there were quite a number of mic glitches; organiser/sound manager/whoever I'm looking at you -.-. Anyway, because Min is from America while Jia and Fei are from China, they totally did not need any translator haha!

Third was 2AM! They performed 7 songs. Gosh they were totally amazing IDE *___*. You Wouldn't Answer My Calls almost sent me straight to heaven HAHA. I nearly cried a few times because of Jokwon's singing too. Aside from his incredible vocals he danced girl group dances and some ssanti dances too; he's just too awesome hahaha! Changmin was speaking in English, which surprised me ^^. The members each gave out a teddy bear to the audience too!

Next was Beast! They were wearing their yellow set of Beautiful outfit. They performed 9 songs, which was awesome. They performed well! One of the songs was Clenching A Tight Fist, which made me giddy with happiness 'cos I really love that song and the members hit all the right notes, but also irritated again because of the sound system D:<. Hyunseung was receiving way too little cheers (it made me a little mad, even though he isn't even my bias -.-), so I cheered as much as I could for him. He sounded really good! Dongwoon was so friendly to the fans as usual; he's such a dear :D. Yoseob pulled off the "I don't know~" in Breath perfectly omg I'm so happy to finally witness it live. He didn't look that energetic, though, which is obviously because he is really tired :(. Sigh I'm really worried about him :/. Beast has a craaazy schedule. Be strong, boys!

Last was 2PM! They received the loudest cheers for the night, and every member got lotsa cheers. They performed a whopping 12 songs, had a few changes of costume, put on angel wings for one song and gave out roses. They were the best in ensuring all of us could get a clear view of them, as they went to all parts of the stage, stayed for some time and then switched sides. Honestly speaking I was really tired after cheering with all my might for Beast, but surprisingly, I recovered and found myself enjoying their performances. I really should have taken more fancams of them, but I was really too tired ^^;;. Nichkhun is simply flawless guh, and there's something charming about Taecyeon. Somehow my eyes kept finding Wooyoung, though, I don't even know why XP.

I took a lot of fancams, but because they were all taken using my phone, the picture and sound quality are bad =X. I realised that my Beast fancams are so shaky since I was so distracted because they kept running around and I was cheering too; they are painful to watch lol ^^;;.

I gave a few "firsts" to this concert; the first time staying out for something other than a school camp, the first time some stranger made a pass at me (lol it was hilarious), the first time I tried queuing overnight for something, the first time I went for a full free-standing concert. All in all, I really enjoyed this concert, but really, next time, there's no more queuing overnight/super early for me! I'll just come like one hour before the official queue starts and be contented about being able to listen to them live. Yeah :).

SM The Ballad - 너무 그리워 (Miss You)



SM The Ballad is SM's project group which obviously sings ballads, and it consists of Jay (Trax), Kyuhyun (Super Junior), Jonghyun (SHINee) and Jino. I'm a huge sucker for ballads so in my opinion this is a genius idea, even though many people are calling them SM's version of 2AM lol.

I love this song! It's so SAD HAHAHA. I like Jay's voice; it's so soothing and emotional. Kyuhyun's voice is still as rich and gorgeous as ever too. Jonghyun... I died every time he looked into the camera with those tear-filled eyes. (1:32-1:40 and 2:09-2:11.) The picture is just so sad, so.. beautiful. Wth is wrong with me?! It's probably just the eye-drops and gorgeous lighting, LOL. But after this MV I liked Jonghyun a lot more LMAO; I think I just like singers who can express emotions in their faces too, aside from their singing. Jay seems pretty good at it too. I think Jino looks super awkward throughout this MV, but he's a newbie, so I'll cut him some slack XP. I love his last part/adlib; it's really good. They perform live really well too, by the way, as expected ^^.


잊어야 하는 건 지워야 하는 건
내겐 너무나 어려운 일이죠
나는 잊어야 하죠 그대 너무 그리워
나를 아프게 할지는 몰라도 잊어요
