Random Friday song
by javabeans
This entry is totally just an excuse to post a song, but whatever, it’s Friday!
You know, JEON HYE BIN (aka Bin, aka Seung Mi in Witch Amusement) is one of those actresses who apparently has a lot of anti’s, and although I don’t know why, I could kind of understand, because before Witch Amusement, I’d only ever seen her on shows like X-Man. For some reason, she tended to rub me the wrong way, although I had no reason to dislike her. There are just some people who are like that, I guess — I’d put Chae Yeon into the same category. Some celebrities just seem to be the kind of people women love to love (Lee Da Hae, Song Hye Kyo), while others are the kind that women love to hate.
Anyway, Bin has surprised me by being very likable in Witch Amusement, and she’s certainly really lovely on the show, enough that I found myself grudgingly liking her. (Dramas have a tendency to do that; same thing happened with Seven in Goong S.) Anyway, so what really sealed the deal is when I found out my favorite song in Witch Amusement — the one that I feel really captures the fun, cool essence of what the show is about — is sung by her.
Who knew?

The OST is pretty good, so far I like her but at the same time how can she be so complacent. She seems like the type to not get angry. Kind of annoying but we'll just have to see as the show progresses. Also JB (is that okay??) do you think you can direct me to where I can learn to post songs the way you do so that they can listen to it and download it if they want. Sorry to keep asking but you seem pretty good at this stuff!! Thanks for the help in advance!!! Looking forward to some QSS this weekend...things look interesting from the preview. Hopefully someone on Soompi will translate what they said in the previews!!

Hi! I've been coming here since.. a week ago? I got your link from Soompi and I'm so glad that I found it. I throughly enjoy your reviews/summaries on dramas! Being a non-Korean, waiting for the subs is tedious and reading your summaries is a good way to quench my thirst for kdramas until the subs come out. I'm officially addicted to your blog. ^_^. I come here almost everyday [especially on days when a new eps of Witch Amusement or Que Sera Sera comes out] and tend to refresh until I get a new blog from you and get to read it. Not sure when you post but your usual time of posting summaries is around midnight for me so I stay up waiting for your summaries and you never disappoint. Do I sound like a fangirl? Haha. I am one, I guess. >..

Aish. @_@. My comment got cut in half due to how long it was.

I did not know the song [which is also a favorite of mine from the OST] was by Bin. I have to agree that her role is very likable in this drama and I'm glad for it. Like you, Bin and Chae Yeon rubbed me the wrong way for no real reason but I never did agree with the amount of antis she [and Chae Yeon] got. I hope this drama will give her the better reputation that she deserves ^_^.

I guess we dont really love her because of certain reasons. She appeared in Only You as quite an unlikeable sister. I think.Yea.

the reason she has a lot of anti's is because she said she had plastic surgery and then she didn't and then she did.well she did thats the truth haha.but yeah before she was a new sexy artist and too sexy in the korean conservative eyes.

hey thanks for posting QSS and Witch summaries, i really enjoy them, and yes I used to watch Xman and i somewhat always find her annoying, maybe it's cus she sometimes try to be too sexy and it's hecka annoying, haha anyways, hope you won't stop posting summaries, and like what the others said, you're doing a great job, cus reading your summary is like watching the drama itself. btw Bin would sing in Xman but thats like so rare, like during the couples part, but she mostly dances, that's why i never thought she would be singing an OST here. ahaha love the song btw.

I knew Bin was a singer, but I kind of saw her more as a pop tartlet doing typical sexy dances, so I didn't think she had a voice that could carry a mellow, pretty sound as well. According to one of the behind-the-scenes clips it sounds like Jeon Hye Bin's past as a "dance singer" (dance gasu) was actually a hindrance to her getting this part, because the PD and other production people weren't too sure of her acting abilities either. I think she had to jump through a lot of hoops to get the role.

I, on the other hand, found it the opposite way.
Her role as Seung Mi is getting on my nerves actually. But thankfully, the show is coming to an end.
I just felt her acting was very restrained. I found it difficult to watch her face try to express what she was trying to feel. I like Chae Yeon though. Not exactly someone to really hate right? She IS sexy. =X
But well, the song is nice, though I am surprised her voice sounds like tt. Her single from the previous Album, 2 a.m. don't even sound anything so gentle.
Anyway, thanks for all the witch summaries. u certainly did a very detailed one too!
=D

I think she done really well in her role event some kind of mistake because she is not acting much. BUt I hate people think really in bad way for her because of her face or she get couple with some hot guys in love letter and X-man. It is just a game. I wonder if she get any more role because I want to see she acting more.

i think bin is okay (except for the fact that she changed her nose which i see no reason why.) but i guess chae yeon annoys me... because she's always doing the sexy thing and i don't get the whole dot thing on the nose? can anyone answer this i'm curious personally i think it's annoying, like a pimple you just want to squizzzz!
(i don't like the part & behind the ears thing she's trying to pull, not working for her)
