냄새를 보는 소녀

I feel like I should watch more K-drama to improve my Korean, however it's not as easy as it seems.
But I found this drama, it will start in a few weeks and I will try to follow it. I like Shin Se Kyung so she's the reason I will watch it.
The title is kinda funny "The girl who see smells". I wonder what that really means... ^^

하이드 지킬, 나

I'm a little behind on this one, but I'm really gonna try to watch it. It sounds like a different kind of Secret Garden and what I have read and seen on YT it looks like a lot of fun. A real drama!

I wonder how this is gonna end!!!

보여줄게

I saw this clip the other day, I knew I missed something last summer. Then again, I was travelling around Canada when this aired so it's not a surprise I missed it.
Anyway I better find the whole episode, this is so funny!
I also love this song. So I'll share both.
Here's Ailee and I'll show you!

엔젤 아이즈

I have to admit I didn't plan to watch this drama, mainly because I'm not so fond of Ku Hye-Sun's acting. At least the work I have seen through out the years.
But I was drawn to the story and now I cannot stop. I guess we have come through half of the drama series as most difficulties are piling up!!
Anyway, I'm happy with my choice and I'll continue to follow this drama!

런닝맨 20130901 신화

Last weekend I catched up on some lost tv time, by watching Korean varity show Running Man, starring Shinhwa.
Oh.. to all of you who doesn't think grown-ups can have fun without alcohol!!
I love these shows, especially Running Man, crew and guests always show a good attitude and a fun side of themselves.

I just loved their pirate games! ^^
Shinhwa presented themselves as Pirates instead of Shinhwa.
And.. well... DongWan was missing, MinWoo said he fell overboard ^^

Anyway not to spoil too much this battle was all about getting the lost treasure back.
Battle in the sand, toe wrestling (cannot believe JunJin gave up the battle..not his style!?), normal name-tag chase... ;)

악동뮤지션 (Akdong Musician)

If you are interested in South Korea, I guess you have heard of this duo..
if not.. it's time to find out about them.

These two are siblings and are contests in KPOPSTAR Season 2.
There names are Chan-Hyuk LEE and Soo-Hyun LEE, they are 16 and 13 years old (17, 14 Korean age).
They have lived in Mongolia but are back in Korea. They are currently living with their grandma as their parents are still in Mongolia. Also they are being home schooled, which might not be too common in Korea. But since they have been away from Korea for a long time it's good for them.

Anyway back to what's important... their singing skills!!
The brother Chan Hyuk has composed 48 songs and lil-sis has remembered the lyrics.
To me their songs are cute and funny, also they have great potential to make it BIG, no matter if they win this or not they will still be picked up by a record label that's for sure!!

런닝맨

Last night I felt bored...so I re-watched some episodes from previous Running Man.
Besides from last weeks show, with the Idol team (Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk, 2PM‘s Nichkhun, MBLAQ’s Lee Joon, B2ST‘s Doojoon, CNBLUE‘s Yonghwa, T-ara‘s Eunjung, and ZE:A‘s Siwan.)
It was hilarious... and I want to do that kinda of game someday XD
It was fun to see them all fighting and all the support they got from fans etc. Running Man is such fun show!



Besides from that show I re-watch the Christmas show starring Super Junior's Siwon and actor Kim Min Jong, from the Athena time. Grown up in a toystore (actually a huge supermarket...) anyway I enjoyed this so much and I burst of laughter XD

\

Tonight I think I'll watch the ep with Sulli, MinHo, Siwon..and other idols.

plus the episode with DBSK's Yunho and Changmin ^^
