In the previous article I made a list of songs I listen to that makes me feel happy. In this list I'm gonna mention some of my fave ballads.We all have that sad songs that we listen to, to ease the pain that we feel and know that we are not alone in this world.
Nell - Ocean of light
Is definitely one of the most inspiring songs I have ever listen to.Really, really inspiring.I don't know the lyrics of it but it makes me feel that anything is possible and that you only have to believe in yourself and try your best.
Baek Ah Yeon - Tell me
Tell me is a song that I would love to listen to it as a background music in a k-drama.The piano, Baek Ah Yeon's calmly voice...everything in this song is just perfect.(I can also understand some of the lyrics.Proud to understand a little bit of korean ^^)
Tahiti - Pretty face
I would like to thank my sister who found this song and put it in the mp3 player, to give me the chance to listen to it.The melody is great and I love how in the end one of the girls repeats one of the lyrics over and over again and how every time she repeats it, it gives you goosebumps.Amazing song!!!
G.NA - I'll back of so you can live better
Yes, I really, really like G.NA!Her songs are awesome and "I'll back off so you can live better" is definitely one of my fave songs of her. Younha feat John Park - Would we have changed
No need to describe this song.It's flawless.Younha and John Park's voices match really well.(This mv has eng subs).
happy?I decided to make a list of songs I listen to that makes me happy when I'm feeling down, motivates me, inspires me etc.
G.NA-Loving You She is one of my fave female artists.She has an amazing voice and I love how humble she is.Below are 2 of my fave songs from her
G.NA-First Kiss
Skarf-Luv Virus Whenever I listen to this song I feel calm and relax.And also that I can understand some of the lyrics without looking the translation : D
Dal Shabet-Let it go Imagine how playful and fun their performances would be if this was their title track ^^
MBLAQ-I don't know I'm in love with this song.I listen to it all the time.I would love to see Mblaq singing this song live.I believe it's one of their best songs!!!
Playful kiss is ONE OF THE BEST K-DRAMAS I HAVE EVER SEEN.I'm ranking it really high like Reply 1997 high.And if you have watched Reply 1997, you will definitely know what I'm talking about.I was so obsessed with it, thatI actually saw the entire drama in less than a week.It's the first time that I finish a drama this quickly.(That proves how AWESOME it is)
THE PLOT Oh Ha-ni is a sweet and social high school girl who for the past 4 years is in love with Baek Seung-jo, thehigh school genius whose IQ is 200.One day Oh Ha-ni finds the courage and writes him a love letter and puts it in his locker.Seung-jo finds the letter and after a little while he finds Ha-ni and gives her her letter back.Thrilled that her crush had replied back, Ha-ni opens the letter to see that Seung-jo hadn't actually replied back, but in reality he had graded her letter with D minus.His words were "I really hate stupid girls".
Feeling pretty bad about what happened in school Ha-ni invites her friends to see her new house, a beautiful house with 2 floors and an amazing (for my taste) decoration.While they were having dinner,a sudden earthquake occurs and her beautiful house tears down. As the only family whose house was destroyed by the earthquake Ha-ni and her father were interviewed on tv.Baek Soo-chang,Baek Seung-jo's father who was very close friend with Oh Ki-dong,Oh Ha-ni's father when they were in high school, sees him on tv and calls him to invite him and Ha-ni to live with them until their new house is finished.So,when Ha-ni and her father go to Baek Soo-chang's house, Ha-ni sees Seung-jo and realizes that from now on she and her crush are gonna live under the same roof.
MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS
The character that I loved and enjoyed the most in this drama was Jung Hye-young as Hwang Guem-hee Baek Seung-jo's mom.And not only me.Apparently everyone who have watched this drama loved Guem-hee from the comments I read on Youtube.The reason that I like her is because she is this cute, lovable person that loves Oh Ha-ni like she was her daughter and does everything in her power to make Ha-ni and Seung-jo a couple.In the most sweetest ways. The other character that I loved is Jung So-min,the female lead.She portrayed Oh Ha-ni perfectly.Her acting skills are flawless.
THE SETTINGS
Something else that caught my eye was the settings.I really love nice and beautiful settings and every setting in this drama was just perfect.Seung-jo's house had an amazing decoration and each room reflected on each character perfectly.Beautiful furnitures and colorful wallpapers made you want to live in Seung-jo's house or to have a room like Oh Ha-ni had. The same thing goes for Oh Ha-ni's family restaurant.
You can watch all the episodes on Youtube.If you activate the captions, you can choose from a variety of subtitles! P.S. When you have finished watching this drama,type on Youtube "Playful kiss special edition".There are 7 mini-episodes that show you *SPOILER ALERT* how the wedding life is for Ha-ni and Seung-jo.They are so hilarious and funny ^^
"You're my oppa" is Infinite's 1st variety show.It was aired before the group made their debut into the k-pop scene,for the viewers to learn a little bit more about the members of the group. The variety starts with Jiae an 18th year old girl,who one day leaves her parents house and decides to go and live with infinite.When she enters infinite's house the boys are in shock and start asking her who is she and what she's doing at their house.Jiae tells them that from now on she is gonna live with them and that they can ask Tablo(A member of Epik High.They were in the same company with infinite) to verify that what she has told them is true.After a little while Tablo visits them and tells them that yes,Jiae is gonna stay with them and that they have to take care of her as she was their little sister.
So,in the next 2 months infinite takes care of Jiae by ironing her school uniform,make her lunch for school,tutoring her for her exams and taking her for a trip to the beach, where they also shoot the mv for "She's back" with Jiae as the female lead(Not the official mv of course,just a funny mv to cheer Jiae and the viewers up).It's pretty hilarious.I literally couldn't stop laughing ㅋㅋㅋ On another note, this year Jiae made her debut by releasing her first song "Delight" as well as the mv for it starring Baro from B1A4 as well as Jiae herself.
Check the mv for "Delight" below
You can watch all the episodes of "You're my oppa"(8 in total) on Youtube. Inspirits 안녕!!! ^^ BONUS!!! Check out Infinite's "She's back" mv(I always laugh.So fucking funny ^^)
VIXX cameback with their repackage album"Jekyll" and the mv for their title song "You're impressive" or else "G.R.8.U."(whice I love so much!I listen to it every day!!! ^^) VIXX whom we have use to as a group who does dark,vampire concepts,decided to comeback with a brighter and much more cute concept this time around.The title song "You're impressive" is a pop track that talks about how a guy feels when he is in love.I really like Ravi's part that says "Your existence is perfect,gorgeous and sexy exist together, eyes,nose,lips all beautiful,living the world by yourself". In a colorful and bright mv where everything goes backwards,we see the boys cleaning up their room which is a total mess while they sing the song in a happy mood.It's a mv that really makes you feel better as the boys are so happy and full of energy.That + the beat and the meaning of the song makes "You're impressive" a perfect for the summer song that will definitely cheer you up.Plus the boys are extremely hot and cute at the same time.How can anyone resist that? Check the mv below!
Would you be interested in watching a variety show in which some of our favorite k-pop idols (boys and girls) gather together,pair up and dosome of the most amusing,hilarious,funny games that you wish to be able to play them too? I'm sure that you do!
All the k-pop is a variety show which is hosted by Boom,Mir and Jaemin.An amazing killer combo.Especially Mir.Every single thing that he says, it makes me laugh so hard.In this variety, k-pop groups are featured as guestsand they promote their albums,dance,play games etc.But there are times(and I love these times) wheninstead of these episodes all the k-pop does this special episodes which are called "Entertaiment Academy".In these "Entertaiment Academy" episodes,members of different k-pop groups are featured and after they introduce themselves,Boom starts his games in order to pair each boy and girl.First the k-idols dance or sing to show their dancing or singing skills and then after that, each boy approaches the girl he is interested in with a rose and if the girl feels the same wayshe takes the rose and then they become a couple.
Now let's talk about the games.There are plenty of games and each one aims to bring the couples closer.The most popular ones are the "Card kissing game" and the(I don't know its name so I'm just gonna describe it) one in which the couples choose a cookie,stand opposite to each other and then start to bite the cookie from each side.The couple who leaves the smallest amount of cookie wins the game.
Below is Jisoo and Insoo's attempt for the cookie game.In the end,they end up touching each other's lips!
There are other games as wellsuch asthe limbo,the couple's yoga game and more so pick your favorite!
After the games are done,the guests make their final selections.Meaning the boys and the girls reveal who they really like and actually wanted to pair up with. After that the k-idols are divided in 2 teams and start to play different kinds of games.The winning team makes a really awful juice made with sorts of kinds of foods(basically any food you can think) and the losing team has to drink it.I wonder how they do it.It's pretty amazing that they drink the whole juice and you can actually tell how awful it tastes just by looking at their faces. So,that's all the k-pop.Here is the list of the "Entertainment Academy" episodes and their guests.I hope to have fun watching it and being amazed as much as I did!!!

Wouldn't it be amazing if these 2 were a couple in real life too?I mean COME ON!Just get married ALREADY!(Yes,I ship them so hard).There are just no words to describe this wonderful relationship between Jinwoon and Junhee.Such a great chemistry,their skinship is always so natural...I just love watching these 2. And why I wrote another article about Jinhee?Because of their latest episode, in which the couple did their wedding photoshoot.
In the latest episode of WGM the 3 couples of the show took their wedding photos, with each couple having their own concept.My fave concept out of the 3 was Jinwoon and Junhee's.Their wedding pictorial was so cute and fresh and their interactions during the breaks were adhgyutrnbj.My fave moment during the photoshoot was when Jinwoon and Junhee were lying down on a couch and Jinwoon had his arms around Junhee.His smile was priceless and he as well as Junhee were extremely close.At one point he even told to her "Should I come closer?" to which Junhee quickly replied "No,no,no" as she was very shy and embarrassed.
Now,all we have to do is wait and see which out of the 3 couples will be on Mbc's homepage as the couple with the best wedding photos.
I always thought that the best way to get to know about a boy or a girl group is by watching their own variety/reality shows.In that way you learn a little bit about their personalities,it's easier to recognize each member when you watch a music video and you know the position that each member has in the group(main vocalist,visual etc.). I watch many variety shows such as Running man,We got married,We got married-Global edition,Weekly idol,Beatles code,The romantic and idol and etc,but I started watching variety shows that focuses on boy or girl groups a few months ago.The first that I watched was B + Diary a tv show that focuses on BTOB.This particular show has only 5 episodes,but each episode is really amusing and it will make you laugh.GUARANTEE
My fave episode was ep.4.The crew and staff of MTV invaded at BTOB's apartment around 5:30 in the morning and woke up the BTOB members in order to do some missions.The most funny mission was the one in which BTOB saw a video of an ahjussi dancing to a song and after watching it they had to dance the choreo themselves.It was hilarious watching them trying to remember the exact steps as they had just woken up.After a couple of times,they finally succeeded. Here you can watch them waking up
You can watch all the episodes on youtube And here is each member's profile.My bias is Lim Hyunsik <3
This is the first time that I've listen to an entire album and pretty much loved all of the songs.Baek Ah Yeon's newest mini-album "A good girl" was released on June 7th and is a mini-album that I would like to have in my k-pop collection. Her title song "A good boy" has been described as an "upbeat pop track that is fun,but still showcases her impressive pipes".I really like the title track and the choreo which is full of aegyo moves that I think fits perfectly with the song. Watch the mv below
But my fave song from this mini-album is undeniably "Tell me".Now,that is what I called an amazing ballad.Everyone says and I agree that this song is like a song from an O.S.T of a k-drama.It relaxes you,can make you cry and make you feel peaceful.I'm happy that I was able to listen to such an amazing song.Check it out below.
What a quick comeback,no?Rainbow decided to come back 4 months after their previous comeback.And I couldn't be more thrilled. It seemsthat DSP Media takes good decisions and makes really good promotional activities for Rainbow as we see the girls making a strong appearance in the k-pop scene this year.Part 1 of their first full-length album was released back in february and part 2 was released just a few days ago to make our summer sweeter.
The girls returned with the cute,sweet and fresh concept that they showed us in their previous album than a sexy concept.(I personally prefer the first one).Their title track "Sunshine"has been described as a "fun and colorful, and perfect for the summer season" song and you know what?It's true.It's such a happy song that from the moment that it starts,you wanna sing and dance with the girls as well.One thing that I really like both in the mv and in the song is that "Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh" thingthat Ji-sook and Seung-ah do in 0:22 and 1:39 respectively(Watch the mv and you will know what I'm talking about).It's such a funny thing to do! Check out the mv!
Fujii Mina and Lee Hong ki.Lee Hong ki and Fujii Mina.If these 2 were to last more than 15 episodes, I think we would be able to see amazing moments,skinships and more.But eventually all good things come to an end and that end is coming pretty soon. Even though I started watching this show for Taecyeon and Gui Gui,I began to like Fujii Mina and Lee Hong ki more.They seem to communicate really well,they feel really comfortable with each other and they enjoy their time together and have fun.
There are also these amazing,cute and sweet romantic moments of course like the one when Mina made a surprise to Hong ki when during a break they took at their wedding photoshoot, she played on the piano his own song "Severely".He was so touched by her gesture,they end up actually to sing the song together.And even though Mina feels uncomfortable when she does skinship,she was brave enough to let Hong ki kiss her on the cheek for the sake of their wedding photoshoot of course. Check out the wedding photos below
First of all, let me fangirl for a little while and just say "Exo's album is AMAZING!!!OMG!Ahfgrtuinfgdlt!My exotic feels!"Ok.Now that I have calmed down a little(I don't know for how long though) let's proceed to the article. A comeback that every single one exotic has dreamed about.For how long?Well, for exotics it might seem like forever. And to be more precisely, exotics have been waiting for 1 year and 1 monthto see their boys back on the music shows.And those rumors that kept appearing out of nowhere saying that exo would make another comeback pretty soon after their debut didn't help the exotics at all.
So, after 13 months, exo returned with their first full-length album "XOXO (kiss & hug)"(I really like the title of this album ^^) and the release of the mv for "Wolf", their title track. I haven't listened to all of the songs yet but I have listened the majority of them and the only thing that I have to say is that "XOXO" is a well-produced and an amazing album.My fave song of the album is 365.I have listened to it so many times that I have lost counting.As for my fave ballad? I choose "Don't go".Again I could just listen to this song all day long and never be tired of it."XOXO" it's a really nice album full of amazing songs.S.M. did an awesome job.
As for their title song "Wolf".It's a song slightly different from what we have used to listen to in the k-pop scene.I personally like it.(Let me clarify one thing:I have never not even once listen to any of the leaked versions that came out.I personally preferred to wait and listen to the original version when S.M. would decided to release it).And like I said before I like it.It's nice to listen to different kinds of music once in a while and exo has the privilege to do so as they are still in the beginning.I just wish them good luck and I truly hope their album to top the music charts.Exo fighting!!! Check out the mv for "Wolf" below!
I just saw the pictures and I can't control my feelings!These 2 look so great together! Jinwoon and Junhee did a photoshoot for Marie Claire's June issue(I'm definitely gonna buy it!)and both of them are so chic and full of charisma.
