Being a kpop fan is sometimes so tough. Especially when you stan more than one group. And they have a comeback at the same time. What am I supposed to do?
My current dilemma stems from JJProject and EXO. They were both on M! Countdown and I checked to see if JJProject had won (by any chance). The title read that EXO had won and I thought: Yes! and then I realized JJProject hadn’t won.
I am enjoying all my groups but my fangirling seems to be very time-consuming. Add to it kdramas and real life and… I need some time management skills. 😀
Ha! That automatic reaction when seeing your group won but then realizing they won against another favorite! 😛
Good for me that I love mostly just one group and they are coming out with 2 songs tomorrow and I am so freaking excited! This is my first time waiting for a comeback (because it is still early days for me in kpop world)!
I feel you on the time management skills though! The day just flashes away and before you know it, it’s already night (or even early morning)! 😛
Nah. Winner 🙂
And it is already their second album this year (I became a fan after their latest songs- Really really and Fool were released)… Apparently, it is a good time to be a Winner fan because usually their fans have to wait a minimum of 1 year for them to release anything..
I know of them! Really Really did well, right? I feel like I’ve seen it a lot on Soompi chart. 😛 I’m happy that your fan heart is being taken care of! I’ll check out their new songs tomorrow. 😉
Yup.. It really did well! It has become their most popular song I think!
Do that! 🙂
Forgot to say I loved the latest song of JJ Project. Felt like something that would apply to almost everyone’s life! And did you watch the EXO episode of Knowing Brothers? It was hilarious!
Gotta sleep now~ Goodnight (or morning if it is that in your part of the world) 😀
Aw, thank you! I’m really happy they’ve come up with such a great song.
I know about EXO’s episode but just couldn’t get around to it. It’s on my to-watch list! Just too many promotional activities at once.
I should sleep as well. Good night! 🙂
I came back to let you know that I listened to the new songs by Winner and the next day I started watching a web drama and guess who was in it? Winner’s Seung Yoon and Jin Woo! What a coincidence! 😀
Ooh are you watching ‘Love for a Thousand More’? 🙂 I am yet to watch it and ‘We Broke Up’! Lemme kn ow how you like it.. I have heard it’s not amazing or anything but a good watch.. We Broke Up had better reviews..
Yes, “Love for a Thousand More”. I need some web dramas these days and I saw it on Youtube, so I clicked. And I thought they looked familiar, lol.
The songs were nice. 🙂 I am not crazy about it though, sorry. 😛 I really liked the MV for Island – it was stunning. And I like Mino.
I just finished Love for a Thousand More and I really liked it! Kang Seung Yoon was so good, I was surprised. 😉 And it was sometimes really deep (stuff like immortality, living your life without holding back, people not believing you) and poignant.
I posted about it on my fanwall, but just in case you missed it… 🙂
Oooh you did? Now you are making me want to give it a try! 🙂 I haven’t really watched him in anything- just a lil bit of his cameo in Producers. This and We Broke Up is in my list so I will watche them once I get over my dramaslupm.. He is also up for a role in Jung Kyung Ho’s new show (by the Answer Me PD) and that is on my “must-watch” list!
You have to give it a try! 😛 It’s only 15 minutes per episode and no big drama, no angst. Ideal thing when you’re overcoming a drama slump. 😛
I really like Jung Kyung Ho, so that show is now on my list too! As well as We Broke Up.
I’m watching School 2017 and have some unfinished dramas waiting for me. But those are either too dramatic to handle right now or lost my interest. That’s why I went to web dramas (I watched Love Playlist and Seventeen before Love for a Thousand More). I’m planning to start Moorim School and rewatch The Heirs. Maybe I’ll even squeeze in We Broke Up. 🙂
But this all has to wait now, ’cause I’m leaving for a week-long trip with uncertain internet connection.
Hi5 on liking Jung Kyung Ho! 🙂 Are you watching Heirs for the DB Rewatch challenge? Recently @chingu and @vannerie marathoned Moorim School and they see to have liked it (I didn’t… I left it at ep6 but loved the screencaps they shared)
Yes, if I manage it (all the drama, all the angst!), it will be for the DB challenge. It was my third drama and back then the only actors I knew were Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young. Later on I kept finding more and more actors who were in it. So I need to rewatch it for them! (You know, Kim Woo Bin.) 🙂
Actually, it was @chingu‘s and @vannerie‘s screencaps that got me excited to watch it. Oh, and there’s also this thing I’ve got for Lee Hyun Woo ever since The Liar and His Lover. 😛
I’m going to Croatia with a bunch of friends from our church. So, I doubt I’ll have the time and the net connection to be in dramaland. Or even kpopland. 🙂
Thank you! I will.
I had eyes only for Lee Min Ho back then. And still managed to somehow miss his ugly sweaters. So I need to find them this time around! 😛
“I am enjoying all my groups but my fangirling seems to be very time-consuming. Add to it kdramas and real life and… I need some time management skills.”
I officially fangirl over 3 active/on hiatus groups (Highlight,BB & Infinite) & 2 disbanded – 2ne1 & Sistar. But generally interested in k-music, that I almost buy music digitally almost everyday.
I love EXO’s What U Do off The War & JJP’s Tomorrow,Today has been on loop since Monday.
Ah, Big Bang! I can’t say I stan them but I kinda do. I love their “Loser” even though I’m not a big fan of their other songs. And G-Dragon has won me over with his “Untitled 2014”. So, does it make me a half-fan? 😛
I’m happy that you like some of EXO’s songs! Thank you for giving love to JJP as well! 😉
Happy fangirling, indeed! 🙂
Do you mean who hacked the principal’s account to access the student evaluations? I don’t know how he knew about the student evaluation problem Teaher Shim was facing, but Taewoon did it. That’s why he made a thumbs up at Eunho across the corridor.
Tae Woon knew about it because he was listening to the conversation between principal and teacher once. That was right after the basketball scene. I know it was Tae Woon but I had no idea he could do hacking. Is he really that skilled? That was my question…
Hmm yeah he does seem to be a bit of a whiz with these things, seeing as how he tinkered with the sprinkler system, got the projector screen to roll down on its own (for the demerit points video), and is able to send messages to all the students’ mobile numbers (not just those from his own class).
I guess since I’ve never seen him actually do it, I still doubt his hacking abilities. Maybe he’s hiding an Ahjumma somewhere? 🙂 (Healer reference)
I would love to see him do it (like really carry out the plan). I suppose I am spoiled from Lookout and Healer. This is not an action drama, after all.
Ah yes, I haven’t watched either before (though definitely will check out Healer someday) so that’s probably why it didn’t bother me as much that I’m not seeing the process!
Actually I was on the Ep5 recap and realised, we don’t actually know for sure which pranks TW was behind, since there’s that mysterious ring of students and references to DH doing something secretive too.
I hate love triangles. I really do. But I\’ll stay for Tae Woon. And for the bromance! I need the bromance. You better give it to me, show. #School2017
Yes, I have! They are the leaders of the JJP fanclub! Jackson calling them “parents of GOT7” and Yugyeom calling them by name. Lol.
I haven’t seen them in a while (’cause EXO and dramas) and I just realized how much I have been missing them. Especially Jackson! Being Jackson. 😀
It’s been stuck in my head since its release. Very good songs keep coming out of SKor on a regular basis. I end up buying songs,at least digitally, every single week.
I was surprised it was already out. I thought it was supposed to be released later, luckily Youtube let me know. 🙂 I absolutely love JB’s voice colour.
Sorry to bother you again with my questions, but do you need to pay for their VApp channel? I once tried to figure it out and somehow never managed to.
I knew it was coming out soonish cos my friend has been talking about it all week haha… I just didn’t know it was yesterday and I don’t have JYP notifications on my YT.
I should be fine. Hopefully. I had a bit of trouble at the beginning, when Domyoji Tsukasa was plain mean. But now, when he’s this cute lonely boy in love who keeps confusing Japanese words, I can’t resist. 🙂
Started Hana Yori Dango recently and it’s so good! Never thought I would say it, but *whispers* it’s better than Boys Over Flowers! Don’t tell Lee Min Ho on me. *runs away*
Well this screenshot alone makes your point.. I mean the clothes and hair-do actually look normal (although the hair-do of the guy at the back is bit off..but nothing on Jun-pyo’s!) Lol
I do love Lee Min ho (whole reason why kdrama obsession started) but… even fangirling can’t forgive Boys over flowers fashion sense! How did he agree to wear such clothes & hair-do?!?
Well… They did curl his hair. And I have spotted a fur even here. And thought of Lee Min Ho’s fur, lol.
But the fashion doesn’t bother me as much as it could. I tried watching Meteor Garden (Taiwanese BOF) once and couldn’t get past 15 minutes. Their clothes were just… Terrible. Nightmarish. I seriously had to go back to BOF and calm myself down with some LMH and F4.
BOF with Lee Min Ho was my first drama as well and I actually liked his hair (I like curly). The fashion… Was probably bearable. Or maybe I thought since it’s Korean… 😀
Hahaha! Yes.. since that was my first drama too – I thought maybe Korean fashion sense is that way.. Lol!
I cringe at how I could ever assume what they show on TV reflects how the culture actually behaves in normal life! If u thought B’wood to be the anchor for Indian life, we would never have time to study/work from dancing around trees! Lol
BOF definitely doesn’t portray your average Korean love story but there are plenty of more realistic dramas which portray life in Korea much more accurately. At least I think so. And even in the most dramatic of dramas, there are always those little things – making kimchi or going to a bathhouse – which stay true to the culture. But maybe I just misunderstood your point… 😀
By the way, you are Indian? As in from America? Sorry if this sounds ignorant or offensive, it just seems really cool and exotic to me, since I’m from Europe. I don’t even know what B’wood is…? Enlighten me, please. 😀
Haha! Oops! I’m Indian as in from the Asian country India 😀 and B’wood is bollywood.. the hindi film industry? must’ve heard of shah rukh khan and the likes of sentimental family movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum or maybe 3 idiots? not sure how popular they are in mainland Europe though.
Yeah of course, there are hints of real culture which does seep through from drama. But usually stuff and especially attitudes are over-exaggerated and not a good way to set standards by. Like when I moved out of India, I was surprised when ppl asked me if I was forced into my marriage! Stereotype from movies again!
Ah, sorry! Could have thought of it. Now it all makes sense. I got confused with dancing around trees! And of course I know Bollywood! Not the movies you have mentioned, but I have seen Bride and Prejudice. So I know a bit. 🙂
I guess you’re right in this way. The real trouble is – I never know how much of the drama is a real cultural thing and how much is over-exaggerated and for the sake of drama. I guess I’ll never find out till I go to Korea?
The same goes with your country. People are only interested in the shocking or interesting things, so that’s what media convey. That’s why we – or at least I – might have a skewed image of your country. I know that (now no offence, please) there is / was a high rape occurrence in India and also that you have a caste system. I know a bit about religions in India and that a lot of people (hindus) do not eat cows.
This is not only the fault of movies, it’s the media as well. They portray mainly the shocking / bad events, the newsworthy things.
Maybe we (or I) just lack education, but you can’t really study a culture from a book, you need to experience it. I think all in all, it goes down to being open-minded and to try to fight against all the prejudices that come with our upbringing and environment, from our own culture.
Sorry if I do not make sense, it’s really hot here right now and it’s getting to me… I hope you’re not offended in any way. 🙂
I actually haven’t watched BOF, just the Taiwanese and Japanese versions – and Hana Yori Dango is very addictive! Hahaha. I remember marathoning seasons 1 and 2 in one weekend! The chemistry was off the charts it was no wonder the couple dated irl.
They dated in real life? That’s cool. Thanks for the info. 😉 It will double my giggling and grinning during their scenes.
Well, BOF was my gateway drama, so it will always have a special spot in my heart. You know, all those firsts… But this is turning out to be so much fun!
Well, its prolly gonna be like DOST where they will confirm once they’re getting married since both are top-stars and the rumors have been there for 10 years! koalasplayground.com/2017/04/07/j-actress-inoue-mao-coyly-confirms-relationship-with-long-rumored-boyfriend-matsumoto-jun/
Thanks for the link. 🙂
I’ve never believed dating rumours before ’cause netizens are creative but Song-Song couple taught me a lesson. And here, it’s been 10 years! So I’ll just wait for their marriage announcement.
I didnt watch BoF, preferred Meteor Garden and then accidentally came across HYD. Couldn’t get myself to watch BoF. Unless watching clips for all scenes of Kim Bum & KSE is considered watching BoF too?
Well, if you watched both Meteor Garden and HYD, watching BOF might be a bit tough. The storyline is a bit different sometimes… But I loved it. It was pretty, addictive, and fun. It was also my first drama, so I might be a bit biased. 😀
Kim Bum & Kim So Eun were really precious, though. I don’t think even HYD can beat these two.
I still can’t listen to Planetarium without stopping what I’m doing and having a broken heart 😭 , one of my first drama and forever one of my “sweat honey” as Tsukasa used to say 😅
If you have watched Boys Over Flowers, you already know that there are many hurdles in this story, as HYD was one of my first dramas it left a strong impression on me as I wasn’t used to all the hardships all candy female leads have to go through ^^’
Finished Perfect Wife! Good mystery, low on romance, great BGM, awesome acting, heartwarming friendships (sismance?), a strong female lead (like really strong!).
A great on-the-edge-of-my-seat ride.

I just re watched HYD S1-S2 yesterday! 😃

That’s cool! 🙂 It definitely deserves a rewatch! 😀

Hanazawa Rui is an honorable opponent when it comes to SLS. Let me know how you hold up during the second season! (*^ω^*)
ST

I should be fine. Hopefully. I had a bit of trouble at the beginning, when Domyoji Tsukasa was plain mean. But now, when he’s this cute lonely boy in love who keeps confusing Japanese words, I can’t resist. 🙂

Started Hana Yori Dango recently and it’s so good! Never thought I would say it, but *whispers* it’s better than Boys Over Flowers! Don’t tell Lee Min Ho on me. *runs away*

Well this screenshot alone makes your point.. I mean the clothes and hair-do actually look normal (although the hair-do of the guy at the back is bit off..but nothing on Jun-pyo’s!) Lol
I do love Lee Min ho (whole reason why kdrama obsession started) but… even fangirling can’t forgive Boys over flowers fashion sense! How did he agree to wear such clothes & hair-do?!?
ST
July 30, 2017 at 2:08 PM
Well… They did curl his hair. And I have spotted a fur even here. And thought of Lee Min Ho’s fur, lol.
But the fashion doesn’t bother me as much as it could. I tried watching Meteor Garden (Taiwanese BOF) once and couldn’t get past 15 minutes. Their clothes were just… Terrible. Nightmarish. I seriously had to go back to BOF and calm myself down with some LMH and F4.
BOF with Lee Min Ho was my first drama as well and I actually liked his hair (I like curly). The fashion… Was probably bearable. Or maybe I thought since it’s Korean… 😀
Rainbow Unicorn
July 30, 2017 at 6:38 PM
Hahaha! Yes.. since that was my first drama too – I thought maybe Korean fashion sense is that way.. Lol!
I cringe at how I could ever assume what they show on TV reflects how the culture actually behaves in normal life! If u thought B’wood to be the anchor for Indian life, we would never have time to study/work from dancing around trees! Lol
ST
July 31, 2017 at 4:45 AM
BOF definitely doesn’t portray your average Korean love story but there are plenty of more realistic dramas which portray life in Korea much more accurately. At least I think so. And even in the most dramatic of dramas, there are always those little things – making kimchi or going to a bathhouse – which stay true to the culture. But maybe I just misunderstood your point… 😀
By the way, you are Indian? As in from America? Sorry if this sounds ignorant or offensive, it just seems really cool and exotic to me, since I’m from Europe. I don’t even know what B’wood is…? Enlighten me, please. 😀
Rainbow Unicorn
July 31, 2017 at 5:50 AM
Haha! Oops! I’m Indian as in from the Asian country India 😀 and B’wood is bollywood.. the hindi film industry? must’ve heard of shah rukh khan and the likes of sentimental family movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum or maybe 3 idiots? not sure how popular they are in mainland Europe though.
Yeah of course, there are hints of real culture which does seep through from drama. But usually stuff and especially attitudes are over-exaggerated and not a good way to set standards by. Like when I moved out of India, I was surprised when ppl asked me if I was forced into my marriage! Stereotype from movies again!
ST
July 31, 2017 at 9:30 AM
Ah, sorry! Could have thought of it. Now it all makes sense. I got confused with dancing around trees! And of course I know Bollywood! Not the movies you have mentioned, but I have seen Bride and Prejudice. So I know a bit. 🙂
I guess you’re right in this way. The real trouble is – I never know how much of the drama is a real cultural thing and how much is over-exaggerated and for the sake of drama. I guess I’ll never find out till I go to Korea?
The same goes with your country. People are only interested in the shocking or interesting things, so that’s what media convey. That’s why we – or at least I – might have a skewed image of your country. I know that (now no offence, please) there is / was a high rape occurrence in India and also that you have a caste system. I know a bit about religions in India and that a lot of people (hindus) do not eat cows.
This is not only the fault of movies, it’s the media as well. They portray mainly the shocking / bad events, the newsworthy things.
Maybe we (or I) just lack education, but you can’t really study a culture from a book, you need to experience it. I think all in all, it goes down to being open-minded and to try to fight against all the prejudices that come with our upbringing and environment, from our own culture.
Sorry if I do not make sense, it’s really hot here right now and it’s getting to me… I hope you’re not offended in any way. 🙂

I actually haven’t watched BOF, just the Taiwanese and Japanese versions – and Hana Yori Dango is very addictive! Hahaha. I remember marathoning seasons 1 and 2 in one weekend! The chemistry was off the charts it was no wonder the couple dated irl.
ST
July 30, 2017 at 2:00 PM
They dated in real life? That’s cool. Thanks for the info. 😉 It will double my giggling and grinning during their scenes.
Well, BOF was my gateway drama, so it will always have a special spot in my heart. You know, all those firsts… But this is turning out to be so much fun!

July 30, 2017 at 5:08 PM
There are rumors here that theyre still dating up to now and or are secretly married.
ST
July 31, 2017 at 4:53 AM
That’s even sweeter! 🙂
kayedrama
July 30, 2017 at 5:14 PM
Well, its prolly gonna be like DOST where they will confirm once they’re getting married since both are top-stars and the rumors have been there for 10 years! koalasplayground.com/2017/04/07/j-actress-inoue-mao-coyly-confirms-relationship-with-long-rumored-boyfriend-matsumoto-jun/
ST
July 31, 2017 at 6:08 AM
Thanks for the link. 🙂
I’ve never believed dating rumours before ’cause netizens are creative but Song-Song couple taught me a lesson. And here, it’s been 10 years! So I’ll just wait for their marriage announcement.

July 30, 2017 at 5:24 PM
The marriage rumor is like a running gag to all Hanadan fans. It definitely comes once in a year. Never gets old 😂
kayedrama
July 30, 2017 at 5:27 PM
I don’t think it will last that long if there wasn’t any truth in it. 😉(Gaaaah – I’m such a fan u can tell. Haha!)
neener
July 30, 2017 at 5:36 PM
Lol 😆 IF they really dated I believe in J that he can make a relationship last this long. They just cannot reveal it because of Arashi’s popularity.
kayedrama
July 30, 2017 at 6:29 PM
Ikr. Deym that little thing called fame. Haha! But yes MatsuJun seems like a guy who can keep relationship last looong. 😊

And knowing how Johnny’s handle dating rumors/news of ita artists, I wouldnt be surprised if they’ll only confess once they’re married.
neener
July 30, 2017 at 7:49 PM
I feel a little sad when I think about that part of their lives. Diehard fans can be really scary.

I didnt watch BoF, preferred Meteor Garden and then accidentally came across HYD. Couldn’t get myself to watch BoF. Unless watching clips for all scenes of Kim Bum & KSE is considered watching BoF too?
ST
July 30, 2017 at 11:48 PM
Well, if you watched both Meteor Garden and HYD, watching BOF might be a bit tough. The storyline is a bit different sometimes… But I loved it. It was pretty, addictive, and fun. It was also my first drama, so I might be a bit biased. 😀
Kim Bum & Kim So Eun were really precious, though. I don’t think even HYD can beat these two.
wakimary
July 31, 2017 at 12:48 AM
Kim Bum & KSE were the best for me, in terms of their characters, amongst the 3 versions (MG, BoF & HYD)
can’t comment on other pairings since I didnt watch BoF

I still can’t listen to Planetarium without stopping what I’m doing and having a broken heart 😭 , one of my first drama and forever one of my “sweat honey” as Tsukasa used to say 😅
ST
July 31, 2017 at 6:02 AM
Why the broken heart? Should I be afraid?
Kudo Ran
July 31, 2017 at 6:09 AM
If you have watched Boys Over Flowers, you already know that there are many hurdles in this story, as HYD was one of my first dramas it left a strong impression on me as I wasn’t used to all the hardships all candy female leads have to go through ^^’
ST
July 31, 2017 at 6:17 AM
Yes, I do remember some. I will handle those, hopefully. 🙂 As long as they are together, I’ll be happy.
Kudo Ran
July 31, 2017 at 6:24 AM
Enjoy your HYD watching 🙂 , it might make you want to go out and scream loudly “Arienaitsuno” 😉
ST
July 31, 2017 at 9:31 AM
Thank you! Is “arienaitsuno” equivalent to Korean “mal do andwe”? If you know what I mean? 🙂
Kudo Ran
July 31, 2017 at 9:36 AM
Yes similar meaning of “it’s impossible (unbelievable)” if I remember correctly 🙂
ST

Finished Perfect Wife! Good mystery, low on romance, great BGM, awesome acting, heartwarming friendships (sismance?), a strong female lead (like really strong!).
A great on-the-edge-of-my-seat ride.

Check out the older fan posts, everyone is partying 😀

I discovered it when I woke up, so I wasn’t sure of how long it’s been since the party started. 😀

And one more…
His name is Kim Suk Hoon and at first glance I thought he was Kim Soo Hyun!

Does he remind you of anyone?
