 If you're still outta the loop, read this.

 Seo Taiji stuns industry with news of his secret marriage to Lee Ji Ah

 Seo Taiji & Lee Ji Ah: Teh marriage, the money, the children, and Jung Woo Sung

I  liked her acting when I watched Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi (The Legend) and went on to watch Beethoven Virus (Nice drama, nice plot. Not to mention, Jang Geun Suk is sucha cutie. I thought I posted an entry on the show before, but maybe I didn't since I can't find it. Oh well...) and more recently, Athena as well. I actually read through her Soompi thread before (after watching TWSSG or Beethoven Virus), but the thing was that there wasn't much info there as well and all that I gathered was that she was quite secretive/mysterious since her past was quite unknown and the media didn't manage to get much info about her past either. So that made me kinda lose interest in her since there doesn't seem to be much updates and news about her.

I'm still amazed at how she managed to get married and even have 2 children for 14 years without people knowing. And her current BF, Jung Woo Sung, don't know that either! Oh well, he never asked or that topic didn't come up during their conversation...  I'm curious to know if he at least know her real name or age....

Lastly this song just pop into my head now.
BEAST - Mystery

[Drama] Dream High

Just finished watching Dream High. The ending is like "SDFJOJEONSMROJ What?!??! It ended?" And I still made sure that that was the final part for the episode. Whatever it is.....  Kim Soo Hyun is sucha cutie~~

[Music] Kan Mi Yeon - Paparazzi

Kan Mi Yeon - Paparazzi

Didn't exactly like this song when I first saw it, but damn, the chorus is freaking catchy. It's totally stuck in my head.
I'm a pa pa pa pa razzi pa pa razzi~
Long hair Kan Mi Yeon looks like how she looked back in the old days again.... And I still thought she had surgery or sth when she had short hair coz she looked so different with short hair! I actually like he with short hair more.

[Drama] Dream High

Watched 13 eps of Dream High in the past 2 days. The drama is seriously not bad at all since initially I thought it'd be lame with all the idols casted.

First and foremost, Kim Soo Hyun / Song Sam Dong really captured my attention in the drama. I think that Kim Soo Hyun is a good actor and he managed to bring across the character's emotions across so well. When he cries, you'll wanna cry along with him and when he's smile, he's just so adorable that you feel like bringing him home. Can't help but fall in love with him.

Next, Taecyeon/ Jin Gook really surprised me since I didn't know he CAN act. Being an idol and all that, I thought he's all just looks. But, he proves me wrong. He grasped those emotional scenes well and I cant help but pity Jin Gook to some extent.

Eun Jung's (Yoon Baek Hee) acting is not bad as well. I thought it would be interesting if she had Suzy's role as Go Hye Mi instead since she somewhat suits that character. I guess I might just give Coffee House a try next since she was in it.

 Not much to comment about Suzy's (Go Hye Mi) acting since she's mostly expressionless and kinda speaks tonelessly in the drama. But that could just be her way of portraying Go Hye Mi's cold personality. But gotta say it's kinda hard to relate to Go Hye Mi since she gives off a somewhat distant feeling. When she cries, I don't have the urge to cry along. Not sure if it's the acting or just the character. Oh well....


IU is absolutely adorable as Kim Pil Sook! Why is she so cute?? Her relationship with Woo Young (Jason) is the cutest thing ever. So pure and innocent. I hope they'll have a good ending in the end.

One thing I like about the drama is that it's not focused only on the main lead + female lead. In fact, till now, I don't even know who's the lead.  Is the male lead Sam Dong or Jin Gook? Hye Mi's the female lead, but Baek Hee gets quite alot of air time as well.
Another thing is that I like the covers songs/ songs they sing the drama. Eg.

IU & Wooyoung/ Pil Sook & Jason - 'Can't Let You Go Even If I Die'

Didn't know WooYoung can sing like that.



And this is just too funny.

Dream High IU&Wooyoung - Heartbeat




Dream High Ep 13- IU + Kim Soo Hyun Duet (a capella)





A few more episodes to go before the drama ends. I hope Go Hye Mi ends up with Sam Dong in the end. If she doesn't, it's alright. Come to me, Sam Dong!!

My love Dang Geun!You're so delicious!

[Video] Star Dance Battle 2011

Watched the whole of Star Dance Battle 2011 and gotta say it's quite boring overall with just these few exceptions. Actually these 2 groups are the one which I've wanted to see their performance the most when I saw the performance list.

Infinite


Like I've mentioned before, Infinite is a group that is really great dancing wise. And no doubt, they didn't disappoint. Their performace was so in sync and neat... And the moves are so clean.


 Just watch 1:41- 1:45. The best dance move ever. Awesome.


MBLAQ

Not that in-sync as compared to Infinite, but still great performance. One complain tho it has nth to do with MBLAQ. It's annoying that there was alot of audience shots shown during their dance performance, which cut us off from enjoying their dance.....

Yeah, that's about it for Star Dance Battle 2011. Watch the rest of the performance if you've really got nothing better to do and too much time to spare.....
Now, Just to share and show how 2010 Star Dance Battle was better.

Beast Star Dance Battle 2010


Awesome dance. In sync and neat + cool moves. What could be better than this? And the irony is that they actually lost to their opponent with this dance. Like come on?



SNSD Star Dance Battle 2009

Not saying it's the best performance; I'm just posting this coz it's SNSD. But this is much better than the other (those performance besides Infinite and MBLAQ) Star Dance Battle 2011 performance.

And since it's Star Dance Battle, I'm gonna post this too though it's not a New Year Special.

100409 MBC Star Dance Battle - SNSD Smooth Criminal

Gotta love the Moon Walk.

Watching these clips are better than watching the whole Star Dance Battle 2011 IMO. Happy Chinese New Year!

[Drama] Secret Garden

Finally finished 20 episodes of Secret Garden in about 4 days.Gotta say I didn't regret watching the drama at all even though the general story line is kinda typical. *Spoiler* During ep 5 when they switched body, I was like "Oh no... here it comes again..." I've watched more than enough dramas/movies with guy and girl switching body and here it is in this drama again. Oh well... But the drama is still good, fortunately.

Somehow this poster

reminds me of this poster....

Don't they kinda looks the same? I mean the people are all floating and the guys are all looking down and reaching out towards the girl.

Hyun Bin is just so freaking cute in the drama. I think his chracter in Secret Garden is like every girls' dream guy. So dependable, yet adorable. I can just stare at him whenever he comes on screen. But one thing I noticed is that he lost quite alot of weight. Just look at him face, it's like so thin compared to his My Lovely SamSoon days.... Put on some weight guy! Whatever it is, he's still so stare-able. I think he's the main reason this drama is so good....

Ha Ji Won is not bad in the drama as well. Her character in the Secret Garden is tough and cool, but not losing the feminine and sensitive side. I really like her eyes....  Somehow she reminds me of Takako Matsu, a Japanese actress.

First 2 pics above- Ha Ji Won. Last 2 pics - Takako Matsu.

The good thing about Secret Garden is that the evil characters are not evil to the exent that you'll want to kill and sware at them. So, that's good in a way that you won't really be bothered  or get distracted by them. There's great chemistry between the leads and the minor characters in the dramas are interesting as well.


Some interesting thing I found it....

Jang Hyuk was actually casted for Hyun Bin's role orginally, but somehow the deal didn't go through in the end. I don't mind him acting as Kim Joo Won too and I'm really curious how the drama would have turned out if he was the male lead instead.

Also, there were talks of Park JaeBum taking the character of the talented musician role in the drama, but it didn't go through in the end too. Wow. It would have been totally cool if he got the role cause the character in the drama is soo cool even though he's gay. Haha. I could totally imagine him as the character, but excluding the gay part of course. But Lee Jong Seok was cool acting as Ssun.


Yeah, in all, nice drama that is worth watching. *Spoiler* Last few episodes made me cry so much coz it was so touching.... But the rest of the drama is quite light-hearted and fun.
So go watch Secret Garden now! Hyun Bin~~ Hope he'll be fine in MS and put on some weight as well!
