Kdrama Fever

For the last two months I've been totally stuck on kdrama series. Started when I looked into series that T.O.P. from Big Bang guested in but in the process found some really great shows. Kdramas are pretty much the same. A lot of misunderstanding, dragged out unspoken love scene, very tame love scenes which usually leads to marriage or an engagement, fast forward to a year or two to "where are they now?". Quite a difference compared to American shows though. But because of that there is a certain charm to the shows with their storyline and characters. 


Most kdrama series last between a season or two. They don't drag out the show. Giving you enough to just hang onto and ending with complete closure.


Here are a list of my favorites over the last few months. I watched about 5 to 6 series. Currently I am on "Lie to Me" starring Yoon Eun Hye. I also followed her work after Coffee Prince. Pretty cool too that most of these shows are basically free with very limited commercial interruptions.


1. Coffee Prince

This being my FAVORITE show. There is just something about Eun Chan (played  by Yoon Eun Hye) and Han Chul (Gong Yoo) chemistry.  The storyline is pretty good and hilarious as well. I love this serie so much that I actually wished that the main characters were actually dating in real life!! What also compliment the overall storyline is the character development of the supporting characters.


This serie also has one of the steamiest love and kissing scene that I've seen in kdrama. And I haven't seen any since.





3. Personal Preference
Followed the work of the Lee Minho who played Gu Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers. Such a hottie. And fell for this serie. You can tell that Lee Minho has matured in his acting ability since BOF.


4. Boys Over Flowers
I really hated the main girl lead in this serie. The boys in this serie seriously stole the show. This is the only serie listed which was more than one season.


5. IRIS
T.O.P. from Big Bang is in this!! He plays a pretty damn good looking assassin. Minor role but still pretty good. 


So if you're bored, check it out. I suggest maybe an episode or two a day to really enjoy it because when the serie ends you wish it didn't. Unlike me where I did some mega marathon.

Far East Movement!!!

(Concert on May 9, 2011 at Holy Cross College in Worcester, MA)

This was a concert that I probably blew a job interview by telling them I can't start 'til after the date of the concert...haha, legit. 

My cousin, Channy L. is the die hard fan but after Monday night's concert, I am a FAN!!! Basically one of the first few waiting in line and totally ditched J Cole's performance to wait out for the meet and greet. So worth it because my cousin and I were the first two in line!!!

This was prolly the dopest, hypest, keep you jumping and screaming concert that I've been too. FM definitely keep the party vibin' going and definitely didn't hurt that they started their set with some club bangers! I can picture myself partying it up with them. If you haven't been to a live concert before, it is a must do! Nothing beats hearing the base down low and them chanting for you to blow shit up (not literally of course).

The soundtrack to my party life!!! Gotta love Kevnish, DJ Virman, JSplif and Prohgress!!! Reppin' it for us Asians!! Gotta support my fellow peeps...lol.
 
OOOhhh, I have another crush. Its a split between Kevnish and Jsplif. I so swear that there was a connection between me and JSplif....but Kevnish is such a charmer and he stole me from JSplif. The little convo at the meet and greet sealed the deal. I love you Kevnish...haha. But I love love Prohgress swag and sincerity. It came across on stage. Friggin' Kevnish was like a jack rabbit on redbull. Bouncing and dancing his little ass off. Love it though. Oh Kevnish is totally adorable without the sunglasses on, actually all of them are friggin' hot without their glasses. The swag just sealed the deal man. They owned it!!!

I think they wrote this song specifically for me (but without the 4.0 gpa part....lol): She Owns the Night.
