Monstar : Episode 10.

Annyeong, yeorobun!

This entry should be updated soon with photo recaps from the drama itself. Do remind me.

I was watching Monstar, Episode 10, that time I managed to watch a full episode, on Channel M. So much hypes given to this drama, especially around the DramaBeans community (well hello, it's been two years, I was the only one catching up this too late).

I did not give any attention to the mentioned drama, though my BEAST bias was the lead actor in it, none other than Yong "Joker" Junhyung.

Little did I know, the drama lived to its expectations, personally, I think, it is so much better than Dream High 1 and 2, another high school musical dramas.

Patutla DB kata Monstar best. A coming-of-age drama. Quite underrated jugak ni.

If you are one of Monstar fans,drop the comments below. I am open to any SPOILERS. LOL.

And oh, I should really start watching the drama from Episode 1, with HD resolution, of course.

Korean Drama : Healer (힐러)

Oh hi! My last post was so last year (well, it's not like 2015 has been far from 2014, it's just freaking 23 days!)

I have lots of ideas to blog on, but it seems I failed to do so. I mean, the ideas were there, but I had no effort at all to turn on my computer and continue blogging.

Healer!! A new drama that I finally can enjoy with my daebak spazzing partners!

When I first saw the drama teaser, it was shown on the KBS World Entertainment Weekly, truth to be told, I wasn't sold (pun intended). Despite Yoo Ji Tae's comeback to dramaland, I wasn't so keen of the romance-action drama as Ji Tae had described in the interview.

Plus, Park Min Young, to be honest, was never my favourite actress, though I saw she's making an effort by cutting her hair off into a short one. And my oh my, not to mention, Ji Chang Wook's good looks, I wasn't convinced at all with the drama's premise.

I mean, come on, a night messenger who then disguised as a reporter, and together with a reporter from a small company, being mentored by a more experienced reporter, oh, too much "reporter" words got my head spinning! And it keeps reminding me back to Pinocchio, with almost the same premise (well, of course they are different!).

Until...

The first episode premiered. I read the recap. Javabeans of DramaBeans had me convinced, 100% at that, nope, make it 200%. Instead of downloading the drama episodes from the Net, I chose to wait and watch on the TV instead. I believed that I would enjoy it more. Better resolutions on a better screen, who would refuse it, right?

And there you go, episode after episode. Though I normally took some time before watching a drama, especially when I have already read the recaps, but it didn't happen with Healer.

I am going to download and save the drama, as to-watch-again drama.

Block B H.E.R.

I happened to listen to this group's hit song, HeR when I was watching Music Bank and Inkigayo reruns a week ago. Yeah, I hadn't been keeping up with the K-pop music scene nowadays, so this post came out late compared to others.


Block B's HeR has this addictive tune that always gets me to dance and shake my body (and I am listening to it right now!). Just can't help it! When I first listened to it, I noticed that the music arrangement had almost the same one as Kim Hyun Joong's Lucky. I was never sold with Lucky, but H.e.R is totally different in its own way. Another reason of why I just can't get this song out of my mind right now, is that I am totally attracted to the amazing vocals of Block B. I never knew before that Block B was also consisted of what I could say as among the best vocals in the idol world. Well, put the blame on me for not finding out this group before (I knew them, it's just I never cared -_-'), but I am glad that it is not too late.




Some of the reviews I read, all had positive feedback on this group's not only its title song, but on the whole mini album. I decided to give it a listen anyway to all songs, boy, was I wrong! It's so unfortunate that I came to discover Block B too late than other BBCs (Block B's fans). Most probably Block B had this kind of crazy and wild side of them in the earlier albums, well, which just happened not suit to my preferences.


Another suggestion given was to listen to "Jackpot". I watched the music video first and found out that Kim Sae Ron was the female lead. Just nice to suit the first verse of the lyrics :

저 오빠들 이상해 (jeo oppadeul isanghae) = Those oppa are weird

Indeed those oppa are weird, honey. Give this MV a watch, and you'll understand as why the girl claimed they were such weirdos, looking at all sorts of things they did to her. LOL.

Jackpot is a mixture of all kinds of genres it can be, but strangely enough, I am surprised by myself that my ears are receiving it well. The music transitions, instead of confusing me, are excellently arranged.


As fun as HeR and Jackpot can be, H.E.R. has also served me another two songs that are now being listed as my must-listen-to from this mini album.


보기 드문 여자 (bogi deumun yeoja) - Extraordinary Girl.





이제 날 안아요 (ijae nal annayo) - Embrace Me Now.





Despite the relatively good reviews given by some K-pop listeners, however some fans of theirs do not appreciate this album as much as others do. Reason? The album is not as edgy as any previous albums produced before. I guess, people's opinions really differ based on their personal preferences.



Finally! It feels so good letting out what I think and feel these days. I have been meaning to write this out, but keep postponing for some unknown reasons. LOL. If only trying to focus on watching a drama to ramble on is the reason. Gonna to look forward what Block B will offer in the future.
