白智英 - 壞人

After finish watching the drama "Hwang Jin Yi", I get to like the OST song especially 壞人 by Baek Yi Young, a 29-year-old korean pop singer. This song was so touching and nice to listen.
In fact, Baek Ji Young has won the "Best Ballad Singer" in November last year for her fifth album "Smile Again" during the MKMF Awards. With this song for the drama, it has outshine her singing career to a higher level.

Korean Hottest Drama : Hwang Jin Yi (KBS Series)

Recently, I watch a Korean drama called "Hwang Jin Yi" which illustrates a
famous 16th century Gisaeng (Female Entertainer) in North Korea who lives her life as a Joseon-era dancer and a poet.

Although, H
wang Jin Yi faces much hardship due to her social status, she is fortunate to have been loved by 3 guys who are willingly to sacrifice for her. Her first love with nobleman Kim Eun Ho (portrayed by Jang Guen Suk) ended pitifully when he dies due to lovesick. During this scene, I keep on crying non-stop as it was so sad and touching.

Hwang Jin Yi scored a high-rating of 20.1% viewers watching this drama in Korea. With this drama, it brings spotlight to
Ha Ji Won who portrayed as Hwang Jin Yi, won the Netizen award, couple award and also Daesang Award at the KBS Performance Award. Not only this, it also brought fame to Jang Guen Suk and Wang Bit Na whose acting skills being recognized by the viewers.

I strongly recommend this drama “Hwang Jin Yi” to all Korean lovers out there. This is a prominent drama which will definitely be the next hottest topic after “Dae Jang Geum”.

Below is the dialogue which I personally like when Kim Eun Ho say before he pass away.


虽然我的人生比别人短暂

但我不会怨恨

能见到你

相亲相爱的时光

拥有着美好时光的

怎么会觉得冤枉

一点都没有

但是刻在骨髓上的后悔还是有的

是没能更好的爱您

没能把世界设给我们的圈套亲手收起来

非常后悔

希望你不要因为我流太多的眼泪

不希望眼泪伴随着你

让我替你哭泣你的孤独吧

现在我要去能安心看着你的世界了

我留下的眼泪一定会保佑你

我会一直祈祷

祈祷你以后的生活不会那么福薄

过的幸福美满

Alas! Shine Korea!

At last, I've finally created a blog! I did not intend to create a blog until one day something cross my mind: I should have share my opinions with others on my interest in Korean music, drama and variety shows. I believe there'll be people out there which shares the same interest like I do.

Anyway, I'll like to talk about a recent Korean variety show called "X-Man", which was highly recommended by some website. This variety show will have a subject/theme (ie. Most handsome singer, Youngest looking singer, etc) every week and 100 artists will cast their vote before the show starts. Then, the top 12 artists/singer will be invited into the show, without knowing who's the number 1 voted person (aka the "X-Man") based on that day's subject/theme. They will be split into 2 groups, playing games which the winning team for that game section will have a chance to castaway who they think might be the "X-Man" on that day. The team without the "X-Man" will win the game.

The variety show was so funny that I feel so high-spirited even after a moody day. The hosts really displays their powers of making people laugh. So, I will like to share the best of Korea to those out there.
