Beast - 숨 (Breath)

OMGOMG where do I even start. This MV is freakin' awesome! The set looks gorgeous and the effects used are good. Everyone looks totally fly and they all have nice hair! I'm glad Yoseob doesn't look like a gangster here, even though somehow I thought he did in the teaser. Junhyung's hairstyle looks sooooo good! I think throughout the MV he had like at 4 different hairstyles, including with accessories and without, but they all look good lol. Everyone else has at least 2 different hairstyles, except for Dongwoon whose very short hair doesn't leave much to work with, but he looks good with it. I think the outfits look great too. Kikwang looks so innocent at 4:03 hahaha!

The best part about the MV is the choreography! Love the whole chest-popping breathing and cover-face-with-hands-then-stretch-the-arm (lol) moves. Kikwang at 2:08 GUH. I like everything about the choreography, actually, with all the formation and stuff. The floorwork is great too! I'm still kinda sad that Yoseob doesn't get to do those moves again since he'd be singing, but that part is the "I DON'T KNOWWWWW" part which is so awesome it is now my ringtone, so I can't complain XDD.

About the song. Honestly, I like this song a lot more after watching the MV, LOL. It wasn't an instant hit for me, 'cos I had hoped that they had included more instrumentals like the one in the teaser instead of just electronic sounds. But yeah, I really like it a lot now! It's a really tight song; once one verse is over the transition to the next feels very natural imo, especially the transition between Yoseob's high note and Junhyung's rap. My favourite part other than my ringtone LOL is Junhyung's rapping parts; he's just SO damn good. And Yoseob really needs to start singing rock, 'cos seriously, don't you think he already sounds very rock-ish even now?

Can't wait for their comeback performance tomorrow! I hope Yoseob will perform that awesome part live HAHAHAHA. And I think they're gonna perform Clenching A Tight Fist too right? Maybe not tomorrow, but for one of the comebacks. I looooove that song; been listening to it non-stop ^^.

I'm addicted to the computer, to the Internet, to fandoms. Sigh.

Mastermind

*___*.

I actually admire Heechul a lot as, a person.

Tumblr is runing my life LMAO.

Some of Beast's recent videos ^^.

From the most recent first!

숨/Breath teaser

The song sounds promising, but omg I want to see what happens in the MV! Which indicates that this is a damn good teaser lol. The set of the MV looks reeeally good. Hyunseung and Kikwang were dancing topless in the rain, which I'm sure got lotsa fangirls squealing, but not me XP. But JUNHYUNG, OMGGGG. His hair looks awesome; I'm glad he changed his hair colour to a darker one. And seriously how can anyone look that hot just lying down like that damn *____*. Can't wait for the full MV to be released! And Beast's 3rd mini album, Mastermind, is gonna be out on the 30th YAY :DD.

100923 @ MBC Dance Battle -- I actually skimmed through all the girl group performances to spot Beast's reactions, and haha fanboy Beast is cute, especially Yoseob XDD.

Beast vs MBLAQ dance battle -- Beast's part was a little messy, I thought, but it was so fun and entertaining, especially Dooseob and Junseob's parts XD. I think Yoseob's facial expressions when he dance are really good; that kinda reminds me of Yunho lol. MBLAQ's was alright, but I think they allocated too much time for Lee Joon's solo part, which was actually good, but still ^^;;. Lee Joon was so funny at the end LOL. The result segment was the best part, imo, 'cos Kikwang corrected Kim Gura's pronounciation of his name (Kikwang is CUTE), he danced the "American dance" on Kim Gura's request which the Beast members had great reactions to, some Junseob, Yoseob's just drinking water when the rest of the member collapsed as MBLAQ won, and Dooseob clapping for MBLAQ at the end.

Jung Juri (feat. Kikwang) - I Need A Boy -- Jung Juri's singing voice is a bit ^^;;, but they both did very well with the dance. And when the crowd were facepalming, having o__O and "NOOOO!" expressions, Kikwang still looked perfectly alright, with the smile on his face and didn't miss a step. This, is actually one of the reasons why I like Kikwang so much :). They lost though :(.

IU - Queen -- Just because fanboy Yoseob is totally ADORABLE, lmao! He was being so hyper, singing and dancing along throughout the song. Kikwang and Hyunseung, and even Sohyun (4Minute) were trying to restrain him at some point lol. IU is pretty, very cute and talented :). The result segment was so adorable; IU wasn't feeling condident but Chae Yeon mentioned that Beast was really high when she performed (or something along that line) so IU winked at them and Yoseob and Kikwang DIED! I really think she should have won, but when she lost Beast was like "WTF" at the back (even though their team won) HAHAHA I love them fanboys XD.

Kikwang, Changmin and Jinwoon @ Fantasy Star Couple -- Singing 2AM's Can't Let You Go Even If I Die and Beast's Shock, while doing muscle exercises. Muscles do nothing to me, but this is so HILARIOUS omg!

100919 Shock (Remix) @ Hallyu Dream Concert

The little remix at the beginning was neat! The boys did great, as usual. Like I said, I LOVE how Yoseob shouted, "OH! OH! OH!" at the end; I think I must have replayed that part 10 times HEHE. Hope he'll do that for every future Shock performance! Junhyung's hair was totally ridiculous then LOL. The rest of the members looked the same, except for Yoseob who had his hair a little permed, which looked great on him.

100904 Special @ Incheon Korean Music Wave -- An old-ish performance that I watched before, but I just wanna say that Yoseob's throat was still recovering at that time so he was offered to lipsynch but he sang live and sounded pretty damn good :)). And the boys looked so good in black :D.

And have you noticed that everyone else in the world seems to be moving forward, and yet you seem to be stuck in the past? You're like a.. like a frozen clock. You need me to change your batteries?

--Henry (My Name is Kim Sam Soon)

I think I'm falling into depression.

Beast - 주먹을 꽉 쥐고 (Clenching A Tight Fist)

I had actually been listening to Please Don't Love since yesterday, and was about to do the same today, when I remembered that Beast's new song was coming out today. So I had a listen. After the first listen, other than the fact the boys sound great and the song is nice, the song didn't leave much of an impression on me. And at that time, I thought, "Lesson learnt: never listen to a ballad after listening to Please Don't Love." Because well, the sadness of any sad ballad pales in comparison to that song's, haha ^^;;. So I went back blasting Please Don't Love for a while, but then I thought that I should listen to Clenching A Tight Fist a few more times. At the end of the second listen, I smiled, because Yoseob sounds really sad at the last sentence. And then I listen to the song more, and haha, he really sounds very sad during his parts.

Okay, enough of the ranting. I like this song! It's a nice ballad, and I think it's the first real ballad Beast is singing 'cos Easy doesn't really count haha. Its lyrics are really sad and the boys sound totally awesome in it. And I love Yoseob's singing ♥♥♥. I was a little surprised by how Doojoon sounds, by the way, in a good way :).

T_________T

100912 F.T Island - Love Love Love @ Inkigayo

Awesome performance! I think Hongki's voice has recovered :). The stage is really pretty! Is it just me, or is Hongki looking especially good today o__o? Seunghyun looks good here too XD.

They won #1 again too :DD! It's a pity they weren't there to receive the award though. Hope they'll continue their winning streak and get the triple crown!

Random: Jokwon was one of the MCs. Has his speaking voice always been that cute?! LMAO.

This is totally random, but..

..I just have to say something about this lol. Apparently there is a rumour about Jaejoong, Hyunjoong and Yonghwa acting in a new drama with Song Hye Kyo. Seriously, you'd think that I'd be all ecstatic 'cos Jaejoong and Hyunjoong are good friends and Song Hye Kyo is awesome and I admire Yonghwa's musical talent , but I really hope that this rumour is, well, just a rumour. Aside from the fact that I don't have lots of confidence about all the guys' acting (SORRY don't throw stones at me), having Jaejoong and Hyunjoong in one drama would really kill me LMAO. I mean, they're two of the three best-looking KPop guys in my list, and I reeeeally wouldn't be able to take it HAHAHA. That being said, if it really happens, the ratings are gonna be off the roof LOL.

100910 F.T Island - #1 @ Music Bank

F.T ISLAND SWEPT THE AWARDS THIS WEEK MUAHAHA :DD. I wish Wheesung would win too, though; man why can't everyone win D:. Hongki started dancing some dance; LOL I how I miss seeing Hongki like this XD. The rest of the members followed suit too, haha they were so funny! Jaejin danced some Lucifer too lol. And JONGKI at 0:57-58 HAHAHA!

The performance was cut, but Hongki's voice sounds better than yesterday and he sang the high notes, so it was awesome XD. However I think it's ironic how this is a Band Special episode, but F.T Island still wasn't allowed to play live -.-. Anyway. Hongki's English during the backstage interview was SO adorable lmao.

Personal Taste

(Dramawiki)

This drama left my mouth agape in shock quite a few times, which is a first for me lol ^^;;. Watch with caution, 'cos land mines are everywhere LOL. I love how this drama is different from the typical dramas, and I can't say anymore without letting out major spoilers, so I'll stop here. Do watch it!

We have a lot of those female leads whose characters seem like too kind, too stupid, for no reason. Gae In is different; she seems to know that her views on certain things are different from the norm, but she's honestly confused about why that is so, for she feels that she's right. I love Son Ye Jin's acting here. Everything she does seem very natural; it doesn't seem like she's acting at all. Thumbs up! She was very good in acting out Gae In's vulnerability. I burst into tears when Gae In said that she wouldn't mind marrying Jin Ho even if it's just as a cover-up in episode 10. Seriously, OUCH. And she's very adorable :)). I think she looks kinda like Han Ga In. Both are pretty ^^.

Lee Min Ho is handsome. No, scratch that. He's not, actually. He's got a nose that makes him look mean and he's not all that special-looking. But he's got eyes that would draw you in. His gaze says that he knows more than he lets on, and if he has that gaze with teary eyes -- which I think is his forte -- I'd bet you wouldn't be able to tear your eyes off him. And he's slim, tall and he has loooong legs, which make him look good in whatever he wears. I like his fashion here too; the casual office wear is nice. OKAY I SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS LOOKS. *ahem*

I think Lee Min Ho chose the right role to act, after Boys Over Flowers. They are similar but can't be more different. Jun Pyo is cute because he's silly, Jin Ho is cute because he's innocent; Jun Pyo keeps a straight face and has an air of arrogance, Jin Ho keeps a straight face and has an air of cool nonchalance. Jun Pyo turned hard in the later episodes because of circumstances, Jin Ho turned himself hard because of circumstances. The angst, man; THE ANGST. He's so conflicted inside that I find it hard even looking at him. He's so complicated, from his past, down to his expressions. He's so serious, but thinking about how he grew up, it makes sense. I like how matter-of-fact he is. Lee Min Ho did so well in portraying Jin Ho! I love his little smile when he thinks about/looks at Gae In, and his complicated expressions. He got lotsa close-ups, which allowed him to show off his acting. Seriously, how come I hadn't seen him before BOF o___o?!

Chang Ryul is such a wimpy jerk, but he's not heartless and he's such a softie that I can't hate him. BUT he's such a contradicting, fickle good-for-nothing that he makes me so mad sometimes. I liked him A LOT better when he wasn't such an immature asshole, though, which was in Episode 12. That has a lot to do with Kim Ji Suk, whom I find to be very likeable, actually ^^. Really, if from the beginning Chang Ryul was a nice guy who was as adorable as he became in that episode, Jin Ho would have a serious competition HAHA!

I forgot that Seulong was in this drama, haha ^^;;. He looks so young here! I think something looks off with his hair though; it looks too flat. And the make-up artist went overboard with his lipstick, lol. He's cute though x).

I LOVE Sang Jun! He's SO HILARIOUS LOLOL. I love how he totally pulled off the "gay" part, and how unabashedly frivolous he is. In Hee is a beautiful bitch, and while I don't agree with the saying that we should be more forgiving to beautiful people, her being a bitch doesn't change the fact that she's SO PRETTY. But she's a crazy, shameless bitch, alright. The actor who played Director Choi is SO good, like seriously. He didn't get that much screen-time, but he made me feel really sorry for/uncomfortable because of/with him. His portrayal of Director Choi killed me, a lot of times.

The NG scenes are so adorable! The cast seems very close :).

Favourite line from the drama: "Let's go out and fight some more." HAHAHA!

AND AND one of the soundtracks, the song Like A Fool by 2AM, is now my favourite song of the band. It's SUCH an awesome song.

100909 F.T Island - #1 @ M!Countdown

A second win YAY :DD! And OMG the encore was SO ADORABLE XDD. Everyone sang and they all sounded really good! Minhwan surprised me, especially, since he sang the most in the beginning and it's apparent that he has improved. The members have been taking vocal lessons, I see ^^. I think F.T Island members are very talented :). Anyway, Jaejin's face when he let Jonghun sang solo was cute lolol. And it was cute how they were marching on the spot during the rapping part haha. And and them imitating Hongki's gestures at the end! I need this clip in my computer NOW, LOL.

I'm quite sure Hongki has a flu/sore throat. I mean, during the performance he sounded good and on pitch and everything (because most of the time Hongki still sounds damn good even when he's sick), but he sounded different. Hope he gets well soon!

note to self:

I need to finish watching Personal Taste. AND get started on Playful Kiss, because damn, Hyunjoong is *_____________________*.

Dead By Sunrise - Fire

LOVE THIS SONG. But sigh, that's one more album I have to buy >.<.

Hwanhee - 내가 더 아플게 (I'll Hurt More for You)

Hwanhee + ballad = perfection. SIGH. He really should stop singing ballads 'cos I'm sure someone out there is crying buckets every time he does. LOL I don't mean that. Not really. I don't know what I'm saying so don't mind me hahaha. And Hwanhee is so good-looking XDD.

100905 F.T Island - #1 @ Inkigayo

YAYYY :DD! I'm so happy that they won; they haven't won a Mutizen in ages (3 years o__o) and I was getting so pissed off at that lol.

I think Japan has done the band some good. I can't talk about the other three, but Seunghyun has definitely become more confident and his rapping live has improved, and Hongki's singing became even more awesome, if that's even possible.

They also did the Copyright Song, which was cute keke.

Park Jiheon no longer a member of V.O.S

WHAT IS THIS?!

V.O.S now has only Hyunjoon and Kyungrok, and the company is going to replace Jiheon with another person. Argh I can't believe this is happening ;___;. The 3 had been together for 6 years so they harmonise with each other really well. Does the company seriously think that a new member would be able to work well with the other two?

Why are all the older groups going away one by one T_____T? First FTTS, then DBSK, then SS501, now V.O.S. I still believe that DBSK and SS501 will reunite one day, but still, SIGH.

COME BACK SOON, SHINHWA! You guys are my only hope now.
