KPOP/Korean Dramas & Challenges

The first part of this post is about Kpop and Korean Dramas.
Some of you may not like kpop/korean dramas but trust me, give me a chance, give them a chance.
READ ON.

I wasn't a fan of kpop/korean dramas because it was just so foreign to me! Few years ago, I was insulting kpop and really hated those fangirls because I thought it was overrated and it's just getting annoying! I was like "why the hell are these people listening to songs which they don't even understand?!?!?!?!?!"

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IT NOW.

Yeah, ZB understands it too... She has been watching korean dramas with me. Poor thing... She can't even sleep in peace.


Korean is a beautiful language and it need not be understood to appreciate it. Haha ok maybe I don't make sense here but I'm just so in love with Korean language now!

BIG BANG was the one who made me change my impression of kpop! They're so talented, especially G-Dragon who composed so many songs! The first song I fell in love with was BLUE because it's soothing and relaxing :)

Of course, they're good looking and this is a bonus, hehe! The best thing is, they don't lip sync when doing live shows! I really hate singers who lip sync like SNSD or whoever... The moment they started lip syncing, I would close close the tab.


I moved on to 2NE1 and I was like "Oh man, artists from YG are seriously good........"

FULL HOUSE and FIRST WIVES CLUB were the 2 dramas which made me change my impression of korean dramas! My cousin introduced me to Full House in 2004 when I was just primary 4 but after watching this drama, I didn't watch other korean dramas. 


Last year, my mum made me got addicted to First Wives Club! She was watching this show in my room and I thought "Oh, not bad" then after few episodes, I started staying up whole night to catch the rest of the episodes online!!!


THEN, few weeks ago, my mum did the same thing again! She was snatching the TV with me in the living room and she switched on channel 855. This time, it's TWINKLE TWINKLE (SPARKLING)! She started telling me about the show, how the girls were being switched in the hospital.......


I thought again "Hmmm, not bad" and I watched. It turned out DAMN AWESOME so for the next few days, I watched with my mum. When the episodes got interesting, I couldn't resist it but to watch it online again! I'm afraid when school starts, I don't have time to catch up on these dramas T.T

This is the theme song of Twinkle Twinkle/Sparkling!
Love it!


KIM HYUN JOO
(Twinkle Twinkle/Sparkling)
She's soooooo perfect! She's the most beautiful woman in the world!
I'm turning bi for her ♡



KIM SUK HOON
(Twinkle Twinkle/Sparkling)
He's 40 this year but I don't care la because he's TALL and CHARMING can I marry him? Omg my heart is melting as I'm typing this! ♡.♡

Okay... This was probably taken when he was younger...


And older.....


STILL HOT RIGHT? I want this kind of man.


LEE SANG WOO
(First Wives Club)
I just have this fangirl thing over hot mature korean actors!



Okay la fine, maybe they're not really that hot in pictures. You know... People who are good looking are usually not photogenic...

I loved Hong Kong dramas but Korean dramas have taken over my life. 

For watching dramas online, I would recommend these websites:
www.epdrama.com
www.gooddrama.net
www.dramafans.org

Coming from someone who used to hate kpop and korean dramas, you should really take my advice and start listening to BIG BANG's songs and watch FULL HOUSE/FIRST WIVES CLUB/TWINKLE TWINKLE (SPARKLING).


For the past few nights, I stayed up until 5AM - 7AM just to watch Twinkle Twinkle!  I even dreamt of Kim Suk Hoon last night!  
I REALLY WANT TO BE A KOREAN. A SOUTH KOREAN.




I was bored and decided to tumblr some challenges. Okay, actually I don't really understand why people call it challenges when it's not challenging or anywhere near this but yeah I'll just go along with it.........

Currently I'm doing some self learning on Korean language online.
I've also chosen Basic Conversational Korean for my IS module (Hope I'd get in!!!)
And I'm going for actual courses on Korean language and culture after I graduate from Poly!

Procrastinator. You have no idea how much I hate being one.
Easily distracted and short attention span. The 1st semester in Poly was a torturous one because every lecture/tutorial is 2 hours and I always use laptop and entertain myself. This is one of the reasons why my 1st semester GPA was disappointing.
Not romantic enough. It's okay la I've downloaded the romantic ideas app on my phone ;)

Sinus. It's always running marathons -.-
