Hi guys! Hope you had a great holiday. Here are some links while I wrap up the post for Flower Boy Ramyun Shop eps 5 & 6:
DRAMAS
Above is the first promo pic for Full House 2. I didn’t like the original Full House, but was excited about the sequel (I like actors Noh Min-woo & Park Ki-woong), until I saw this. Yikes.
Blond hair for Park Ki-woong? A curly mushroom haircut for the girl? And a Jun-pyo perm for Noh Min-woo. It’s hair trauma for everyone. And those clothes. I’ll still keep the drama on my radar, but it’s not looking good.
On the other hand, I am excited about current drama Ojakkyo Brothers. I usually avoid long dramas (Ojakkyo Brothers is 50 episodes), but the praise for this one has been unanimous. For those thinking of tackling the series, Softy has transcaps, and K-Frenzy & Thundie’s Prattle did sweeping recommendations/reviews.
MOVIES
Three new South Korean films I’d love to see:
- Wandeuki: Wandeuki, or About Wandeuk, stars veteran film star Kim Yoon-seok and SKKS/Antique alum Yoo Ah-In (♥). It’s basically heart-warming, Stand and Deliver-type fare, where a teacher changes a wayward youth’s life through tough love. Reviews so far have been great.
- Couples: A cute romantic comedy involving several tangled relationships, with some great actors and (if the trailer’s anything to go by) off-the-wall humor.
- Penny-Pinching Romance: The rare movie romance between two bums. SKKS alum Song Joong-ki plays a loser too broke to date, and Spy Myung-Wol‘s Han Ye-seul plays his tightwad love interest. I want to see it for the actors and the quirky concept.
MUSIC
Finally, I recently discovered 2NE1′s “I Am the Best” (which came out in June), and have played it nonstop for the past week. Before you hit play, beware: it’s a total earworm of a song, up there with Super Junior’s “Sorry, Sorry” and Brown Eyed Girls’ “Abracadabra.”
Wow, haven’t visited the blog for so long. Yay for you discovering my favourite K-pop group. Nega Che Chalaga!
Thanks for stopping by! Actually, I knew about 2NE1, and liked them (esp. CL & Minzy), but hadn’t fallen in love with any of their songs since their debut. This one finally knocked me out!
