They are Lee Jin Ki (Onew), Kim JongHyun, Kim Kibum (Key),Choi Minho and Lee Taemin. Their age ranges from 16 to 19 years old, one of the youngest group formed by SM Entertainment.<br /><br />All the songs they have released were number one in most of the music charts. The song I like includes "Noona Neomu Yeppeo (Replay) and also their recent title song "Juliette". Shinee have also won many awards like "Best Style Icon Award", "Best Male Rookie Award", "Yepp Newcomer Award" and also "Best New Artist Award' in 2008. They are truly Shiny Shinee :)<br /><br />My favourite member of the group would be Onew. I love his amazing voice and the smile on his face. His excellent singing techniques impressed me everytime I've seen his live performance. His voices blended so well in all kinds of genres. <br />Although, he is now 21 years old (korean usually add one year in their age), he was always the best leader and singer I have seen so far. Aza Aza fighting Onew :)<br /><br />Let's enjoy the live solo performance by Onew.<br /><br /><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aHS7GX-ddnM&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aHS7GX-ddnM&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-32690230336054429872009-07-27T20:26:00.005+08:002009-07-27T21:11:35.648+08:00My Favourite Idol : 2PMRecently, I am impressed by the seven-member boy group from Korea, 2PM in which their live perfomance is so outstanding. They are under the same label record company as Wonder Girls which was managed by Park Jin-Young. <br /><br />2PM members auditioned in Korea and other countries to become part of JYP Entertainment. All the members undergo rigorous training in dancing, acrobatics and singing.<br /><br />2PM debuted with the song "10 out of 10" with a mixture of acrobatic and b-boy dance style. Their 2nd theme song "Only You" had also fared good results in the korea charts.<br /><br />On 09 May 2009, soon after releasing their new title song "Again & Again". 2PM have finally won their their 1st Mutizen award on M!Countdown. After that, they won their 2nd Mutizen award on SBS Inkigayo and 3rd Mutizen award at Musicbank. This song have earned them credits in both fame and stardom.<br /><br />On 02 July 2009, 2PM once again achieved 1st place on the M!Countdown and Musicbank with their 2nd promotional song "I Hate You". This song was now one of my favourites.<br />I like Nichkhun and Wooyoung among all the members as they are talented, cute and funny. Whenever both of them are together, they have chemistry within each other :)<br /><br />Nichkhun Horvejkul (Isn't he cute :) <br /><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNpaP7bSucfq3F60cVasU0uGdbgBNqWKt9kUXda-h0U5XYs8jLzr6WU3Ach5o3LF_7yqTeGH-1Je-7-XfBfluf_VOGXG0-73Ork0srkRzj4xbi69tyxfmXqfwZB_CxI3sDHD1rNU7Gxw/s1600-h/Untitled.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNpaP7bSucfq3F60cVasU0uGdbgBNqWKt9kUXda-h0U5XYs8jLzr6WU3Ach5o3LF_7yqTeGH-1Je-7-XfBfluf_VOGXG0-73Ork0srkRzj4xbi69tyxfmXqfwZB_CxI3sDHD1rNU7Gxw/s320/Untitled.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363122598345719618" /></a>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-39846274579971124832009-06-06T13:43:00.002+08:002009-06-06T14:00:50.596+08:00Cinderella ManRecently, I was caught up by a Korean Drama, Cinderella Man starring Kwon Sang Woo, Im Yoon Ah, Han Eun Jung and Song Chang Ui. The drama is about a rich man (Lee Joon Hee) who switches lives with a man who looks identical to him (Oh Dae Sun). The difference between them is their personality and backgound. Oh Dae Sun is poor but happy-go-lucky whereas Lee Joon Hee is the heir to a fashion empire but has a heart problem and does not trust anyone since young. The story later discovered a series of underlying secrets and the hatred and love between the 4 main characters.<br /><br />Below is the theme song of the drama. <br /><br /><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9ZGpJJRSNZs&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9ZGpJJRSNZs&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-8998121920119336732009-04-22T22:17:00.004+08:002009-04-22T23:18:41.604+08:00Son Dambi Won her first-ever K-Chart at KBS Musicbank!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvqYqW3uf7evM9z9K74u8Fpd8vblQFNFUfe_BtrzH77J7ZZLYezzHgZK1uolxEY2hd6n3aAphLPPAoqigaIHAwDJfkMeM_je2SE6K7uCmS71aLDmAYMlqUsZrpqKgP2MIM8amdtEvf1Q/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 158px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvqYqW3uf7evM9z9K74u8Fpd8vblQFNFUfe_BtrzH77J7ZZLYezzHgZK1uolxEY2hd6n3aAphLPPAoqigaIHAwDJfkMeM_je2SE6K7uCmS71aLDmAYMlqUsZrpqKgP2MIM8amdtEvf1Q/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327534982262183986" /></a><br /><br />Son Dam Bi, a 25-year-old South Korean singer who debuted in 2007 with her first single "Cry Eye". This song has started to gain her exposure to the audience. After that, she has been training in the United States and also released a mini album with her title single "Bad Boy" in Korea.<br /><br />In september 2008, she make a comeback with her single "Crazy" which become a crazed in korea. Her husky voice and powerful dancing appeals to many korean public. However, the song has never won her top spot in k-chart on any music shows.<br /><br />In March 2009, Son Dam Bi released a new mini album called Type B - Back To The 80's. She make a comeback stage on Mnet M! Countdown on 26 March 2009 with her title song "Saturday Night" as well as "Snow is Falling". Just 2 weeks time, the song has eventually won her the first ever K-chart on KBS2TV Musicbank on 10 April 2009. She was absolutely overwhelmed by the results as it come as a surprise to her. Her emotion was uncontrollable and thus unable to convey her feeling properly.<br /><br />Since then, the song "Saturday Night" has taken consecutive top spot in several television music program and her every performance was totally stunning. <br /><br />The song has marked her singing career to a higher level of stardom. Somehow, she has given me an enlightment. "No matter what you do, try your 100% best". I believe that one day, our efforts will be paid off.<br /><br />Her incredible performance by Son Dam Bi.<br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DoHrzrk9Ab4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DoHrzrk9Ab4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-59946287140908585042009-01-10T10:32:00.019+08:002009-02-27T20:35:15.847+08:00KBS Drama - Kgotboda NamjaKgotboda Namja was the korean version of Japanese Manga "Hana yori Dango".

I read in some forums which people comments on his decision to leave SG Wannabe. Some show their continuous support but some have said him as a selfish person who only thinks of himself. Whatever it is, I would always support him even though he is not part of SG Wannabe anymore. <br /><br />On 24 Apr, SG Wannabe has released their 5th album titled "My Friend". In this album, you will get to hear the new member, Lee Suk Hoon voice. His voices is good and stands out only when he sings alone. As in some of the tracks when the threesome sings together, I can only hear Lee Seok Hoon voice and a bit of Jin Ho. Yong Jun voice was completely lost amidst the other vocals. There is somehow a lack of harmony in between them and this will need time to reach the standard as they used to be.<br /><br />I still prefer the original SG Wannabe as all the members’ voices blended in spectacularly. SG wannabe is well-known of their powerful heart-moving vocals. In their previous songs, Dongha, Yong Jun and Jin Ho have displayed emotion in their singing styles which we can hear and feel it. Now, with the new member, we are losing that feel. On April 27, in SBS Inkigayo, Chae Dong Ha cried during SG Wanna Be’s performance of its new song “Bogoshipda” which marked his last stage with the group’s 2 other members, Kim Yong Jun and Kim Jin Ho. So Sad... <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnEFbBcr_7usYKjpvrLloOHiGeZaPJIBaGdq9S1gQqSsKIzggyKdYOHv_xZhfSMgkgWaXEpUNoUgFi6GmHd3tXvMXuYigto1ER8qPZcQy48GDUqF9mp979s2RoavuLdg7bEuJ_9VR6YQ/s1600-h/chae-dong-ha-cry.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnEFbBcr_7usYKjpvrLloOHiGeZaPJIBaGdq9S1gQqSsKIzggyKdYOHv_xZhfSMgkgWaXEpUNoUgFi6GmHd3tXvMXuYigto1ER8qPZcQy48GDUqF9mp979s2RoavuLdg7bEuJ_9VR6YQ/s320/chae-dong-ha-cry.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196442175588141186" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirADirtCR_jf9rOnTPVSHmlbmIoa_H6kCxvuvZ1HDx4DFsoHHVlBujOP9KB6aWDswkcf7MzHuJDfNYHb_IPl_MCchqioXnI-n6WyF9A62nkgKDD5ourJa2MfKKDtzLUOyxM06bkgl4OA/s1600-h/SG+Wannabe+01.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirADirtCR_jf9rOnTPVSHmlbmIoa_H6kCxvuvZ1HDx4DFsoHHVlBujOP9KB6aWDswkcf7MzHuJDfNYHb_IPl_MCchqioXnI-n6WyF9A62nkgKDD5ourJa2MfKKDtzLUOyxM06bkgl4OA/s320/SG+Wannabe+01.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196442424696244370" /></a><br /><br />After listening to SG wannabe's 5th album, I am a bit disappointed as I feel Dongha can do so much better than Lee Seok Hoon. This album is only fairly-good compared to their previous works. "Bogoshipda", the 4th track of this album was the last works Dongha participated as part of SG Wannabe. This song was remade with Seok Hoon, and Dong Ha only gets to sing one of the last lines in the song. I listen to the original version and the remake version, I am sad that the original version sounds absolutely beautiful. <br /><br />Although, the brother figure Chae Dong Ha has left the group, I believe his friendship with Yong Jun and Jin Ho will stay on forever :)<br /><br />Lastly, I wish Dongha all the best in his future endeavours and will continue to support him. As for SG Wannabe, I will continue to support them especially Yong Jun and Jin Ho :)<br /> Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-19346861687759404502008-05-04T14:03:00.004+08:002009-06-06T13:42:57.564+08:00SG Wannabe SpecialEnclosed was SG Wannabe previous performance.

These new singers will be the centre of attraction this year after Wonder Girls, Big Bang and Girls' Generation who have dominated the pop charts last year. <br /><br />Let me specifically tell you the background of these new singers.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4OBUg0hLgCITwe1jz8Gq1qneE7KP81HJTTMzxlrNnaqgEgPqKmMSFOBmqrYS1h7T1P6Wj83lvFlF97F9wiHseGEPfAkX778dcM16cD-FgPECl5mMI3UaK4qN0eQeNoBeGHPXL6uKquQ/s1600-h/JOO.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4OBUg0hLgCITwe1jz8Gq1qneE7KP81HJTTMzxlrNnaqgEgPqKmMSFOBmqrYS1h7T1P6Wj83lvFlF97F9wiHseGEPfAkX778dcM16cD-FgPECl5mMI3UaK4qN0eQeNoBeGHPXL6uKquQ/s320/JOO.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190974637683658802" /></a><br /><br />JOO - Young Woman 1st Single<br />Release Date: Jan.18 2008<br />Record Label: JYP Entertainment <br />Genre: Ballad <br /><br />Through a SBS talent show in 2006, Joo was discovered by Park Jin Young, the manager of JYP Entertainment. After three-years of training, this 16-year-old singer debuted with her first single album "Young Woman" on Jan, 18. Her title song, Namja Ddehmooneh ("Because of a Man") was written and composed by Park Jin Young which topped the fourth place in 2 weeks. <br /><br />However, Joo was soon targeted by the so-called “anti-fans,” who blasted her not so exemplary past showing her playing pool, wearing skimpy clothes, and even drinking and smoking with her friends during her middle school years. Apparently, her looks changed drastically from her present, strongly suggesting that she had plastic surgery.<br /><br />Joo’s management company immediately went into damage control, explaining that she was too young and curious to know any better at that age and she has never touched alcohol or cigarettes once she started training with the JYP Entertainment. Because of these pictures, Netizens are now torn between supporting and criticizing the new singer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwdou9AH4HBfw5sdSz2dYKdMeh1qa68yuGQPejgE098LcF19tiDau77BZE37KjXuTTPzsJvimmcWAkZTkpspNF7O7Twzngw3JrOLdHaWSLkhKAxem1-363-ZsqbfHnKu2zZNj-9oBZg/s1600-h/Davchi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwdou9AH4HBfw5sdSz2dYKdMeh1qa68yuGQPejgE098LcF19tiDau77BZE37KjXuTTPzsJvimmcWAkZTkpspNF7O7Twzngw3JrOLdHaWSLkhKAxem1-363-ZsqbfHnKu2zZNj-9oBZg/s320/Davchi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191211895972057202" /></a><br /><br />DAVICHI - Aramanth<br />Release Date: Jan.31 2008<br />Record Label: Mnet Media<br />Genre: Ballad <br /><br />Davichi was a R&B female duo consists of member, Lee Hae Ri (23) and Gang Min Kyung (18).

The recording company revealed that some members would either stay or leave the group to pursue on solo activities. New members would probably joined in to replace the members who leave the group while some would be rotated. This caused outrageous reaction from the fans who wanted Super Junior 05 to remain together as a group.<br />On 23 May 2006, SM Entertainment announced the addition of a new member Kyu Hyun, the youngest member of the group. The group polished a newer look and released their new single "U" online for fans to download free on 25 May 2006. The single exceeded 1.7 million downloads and stay on the No. 1 spot on the charts for five weeks. This song also crowned SBS Inkigayo's Mutizen Song for three consecutive weeks. The album officially landed on CD stores on 6 June 2006 ultimately selling over 83,000 copies. Since then, Super Junior had been appearing on various musical and variety shows frequently to promote their first single "U" and second single "Dancing Out". <br />In Year 2007, Super Junior underwent a rough bend, beginning to branch out into different splinter groups and became detached, causing rumors that the group was disbanding. Super Junior - K.R.Y was the first sub-group to be created in November 2006 with 3 members, Ye sung, Ryeo Wook and Kyu Hyun who was known to have the most perfect and powerful vocals in Super Junior. K.R.Y participated in the Original Soundtrack for TV Drama Hyena with a total of three tracks, including the main theme. Each member of K.R.Y have their own numbers of fan-base which could also be a marketable group itself even without presented as super Junior. The next sub-group will be Super Junior-T created in February 2007 with members Lee Tuek, Hee Chul, Kang In, Shin Dong, Sung Min and Eun Hyuk. The group released their first single "Rokkugo" on 23 February 2007 which they sing a traditional style of K-pop into a more modernised version and was well-received by both the older and younger generation. The group even received praises from music critics. The single sucessfully topped No. 1 spot in several music charts in Korea. Super Junior-T made their first television appearance on 25 February 2007 on SBS Inkigayo with trot singer Bang Shil Yi and sang her hit song " Chut Cha".<br />Super Junior was also popular in Asia countries especially China and Thailand which the group paid many visits to these two countries promoting their songs. There have been speculation whereby Super Junior will target overseas markets and hold an Asian world concert tour in 2008. The group's second full-length album was marked to be release on November 2006 but was postponed due to a serious incident on 19 April 2007 at about 12.20am (Korean time) where 4 members of Super Junior, Lee Tuek, Shin Dong, Eun Hyuk and Kyu Hyun and two managers were injured in a car crash. The driver lost control of the vehicle as the van flipped over on its right side. Kyu Hyun, who was sitting behind the driver's seat was severely injured with a fractured hip, pneumothorax from fractured ribs and facial scratches and bruises. Lee Tuek had a sucessful operation removing the glass shards in his back and received a total of 170 stitches on his face and his back. Shin Dong and Eun Hyuk only had cuts and scratches, thus both discharged on 23 April 2007. Lee Tuek and Kyu Hyun recovered faster than expected. Lee Tuek was discharged from the hospital on 30 april 2007 while Kyu Hyun was discharged two months later on the 5 July 2007.<br />After the incident, Super Junior finally released their 2nd album on 20 September 2007 with their hit songs "Don't Don", a rock-inspired piece with an R&B vibe. This song marks the group's change in musical vocals and image. Within 3 days of release, the album selling around 66,678 copies debuting as No.1 in their local charts. According to global sales, 60,000 were sold by the first week of release.<br />Super Junior make their official comeback on 21 September 2007 with their performance of "Don't don" at KBS Music Bank. This is their first performance whereby all thirteen members performed after a whole year.</span>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-69441557904762928652007-10-25T21:59:00.000+08:002007-10-25T22:51:03.971+08:00Tired! New Korean dramasWow, its been a tiring and busy week recently with my work. At last, I got some spare time to post new message. There are many korean dramas launching out but the most I liked and would recommend is as below:<br /><br />Witch Yoo Hee<br />(Starring Han Ga In, Jae Hee, Jun Hye Bin, Kim Jung Hoon, Dennis Oh)<br />Storyline:<br />Ma Yoo Hee (Han Ga In) is known as a witch for her ruthless and practical character. After a string of failed attempts to hire a housekeeper, she literally runs into Chae Moo Ryong (Jae Hee), ex-medical student turned aspiring chef. As a way to work off his debt for crashing into her car, he agrees to become her housekeeper and personal love affairs coach for one month. Gladly, he gives her a makeover that attracts both her old friend Johnny Kruger (Dennis Oh) and her first love Joon Ha (Kim Jeong Hoon). Despite having a girlfriend, Sung Mi (Jun Hye Bin), Moo Ryong eventually finds himself falling for Yoo Hee...<br /><br />Remarks: The storyline is appealing and funny in the beginning when main actor and actress meet, then in the middle the story start to slow down. Overall, still quite good drama.<br /><br />How to meet the perfect Neighbor<br />(Starring Kim Seung Woo , Bae Doo Na , Park Shi Hoo, Kim Sung Ryung)<br />Storyline:<br />Baek Soo Chan has nothing in his hands but lives a life under the belief that he will become the man which every woman craved for. <br />However, his belief is questioned when he starts to realize true love. When playboy Baek Soo-Chan meets his match Jung Yoon-Hee, he goes absolutely crazy! His once blissful life of messing around with women has become something of the past ever since Yoon Hee started to make snide remarks to him so as to protect her older sister from being cheated by his playboy ways.<br />Yoo Joon Suk is the heir to his father's very successful company. He is forced to come back and take over his father's company when his father suddenly collapses. Yoon Hee then becomes Joon Suk's assistant and falls for her boss. Will Joon Suk return her feelings and will they be able to be together despite his mother's objections?<br /><br />Remarks: In the beginning, the drama is abit slow mode, however, the storyline starts to pick up in the middle. Good drama.<br /><br />Oh Soo Jung<br />(Oh Ji Ho, Uhm Jung Hwa, Kang Sung Jin, Park Da An)<br />Storyline:<br />Go Man Soo is a world known golf player who was dumped by a former beauty queen, Oh Soo Jung, seven years ago. Their fate becomes reversed when Oh Soo Jung who is now known as an old maid comes chasing after Man Soo who is now a 'golden bachelor' with good looks and money.<br /><br />Remarks: This drama is appealing in every epsiode.<br /><br /><br />Jumong<br />(Starring Hur Jun Ho, Han Hye Jin, Chun Kwang Ryul, Oh Yeon Soo)<br />Storyline:<br />Jumong is the name of the legendary founder of Goguryeo, King Dongmyeongseong. The story starts with the conflict between Gojoseon, an ancient Korean kingdom, and Han Chinese forces, eventually leading to a fragmented Korean Peninsula. Hero-in-the-making Jumong (Song Il Kook, Emperor of the Sea) is born in this time of chaos and struggle in the little independent state of Buyeo. He quickly finds himself the most unlikely of princes and the victim of a rivalry with his brother Dae So (Kim Seung Soo, A Million Roses). He is forced to choose between the boyish charm of young merchant So Seo No (Han Hye Jin; Be Strong, Geum Soon!) and the innocent smile of Bu Yeong (Im So Young), a servant he's known for years. Through dangerous trials and painful lessons of the heart, Jumong must rise to the occasion to unite the land and bring peace to his people.<br /><br />Remarks:<br />Jumong is the next hot topic after daejungdeum and Hwang Jin Yi with its impressive storyline and the fantastic performance by all actors and actress. Jumong is one of the hugely popular historical drama which dominated television screens during its broadcast, attracting 40% of the viewership rating in Korea.<br /><br />Other Korean dramas:<br />The 1st Shop Of Coffee Prince<br />(Starring Yoon Eun Hye, Gong Yoo, Lee Sun Gyun, Chae Jung Ahn)<br />Air City<br />(Starring Choi Ji Woo, Lee Jung Jae, Lee Jin Wook, Moon Jung Hee)<br />Could Staircase<br />(Starring Shin Dong Wook, Han Ji Hye, Yim Jung Eun, Kim Jung Hyun)<br />Dalja's Spring<br />(Starring Chae Rim, Lee Min Ki, Lee Hyun Woo, Lee Hye Young, Gong Hyeong Jin)Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-74109756421927886292007-02-02T10:44:00.006+08:002007-02-02T10:52:59.180+08:00New Korean Drama : Goong S (aka Prince Hours)<span style="font-family:arial;">Goong S was make after the released of hot popularity Korean drama, </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Princess Hours.

This song was so touching and nice to listen.<br />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.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-46687145999613730712007-01-24T11:57:00.000+08:002007-01-24T12:25:31.409+08:00Korean Hottest Drama : Hwang Jin Yi (KBS Series)<span style="font-family:arial;">Recently, I watch a Korean drama called "Hwang Jin Yi" which illustrates a </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">famous 16th century Gisaeng (Female Entertainer) in North Korea who lives her life as a Joseon-era dancer and a poet.<br /><br />Although, H</span><span style="font-family:arial;">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. </span><span style="font-family:arial;">During this scene, I keep on crying non-stop as it was so sad and touching.<br /><br />Hwang Jin Yi scored a high-rating of 20.1% viewers watching this drama in Korea. With this drama, it brings spotlight to </span><span style="font-family:arial;">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.<br /><br />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”.<br /><br />Below is the dialogue which I personally like when Kim Eun Ho say before he pass away.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">虽然我的人生比别人短暂<br /><br />但我不会怨恨<br /><br />能见到你<br /><br />相亲相爱的时光<br /><br />拥有着美好时光的<br /><br />怎么会觉得冤枉<br /><br />一点都没有<br /><br />但是刻在骨髓上的后悔还是有的<br /><br />是没能更好的爱您<br /><br />没能把世界设给我们的圈套亲手收起来<br /><br />非常后悔<br /><br />希望你不要因为我流太多的眼泪<br /><br />不希望眼泪伴随着你<br /><br />让我替你哭泣你的孤独吧<br /><br />现在我要去能安心看着你的世界了<br /><br />我留下的眼泪一定会保佑你<br /><br />我会一直祈祷<br /><br />祈祷你以后的生活不会那么福薄<br /><br />过的幸福美满</span>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863423180337388477.post-35777921009336373422007-01-04T23:31:00.000+08:002007-01-05T00:11:50.138+08:00Alas! 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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11453217402879253859noreply@blogger.com5
