화사 (Hwa Sa) - Orbit

The second fave drama OST this year must belong to Hwasa and the song Orbit.
It comes from the same drama I mentioned the other day - The King Eternal Monarch.

Enjoy!

김종완 of NELL - 연 (The King: Eternal Monarch 더 킹: 영원의 군주 OST Part 3)

This is one of my fave OST songs from Korean tv dramas in 2020.
This one is from the drama starring Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun.
If you haven't watched it, you can catch it on Youtube!

Return

I feel like I need to catch up on some Korean dramas.
I found this OST, I really like the song!

HAPPY FRIDAY

낮에 뜨는 별

I have heard so many OSTs, good ones, lately.
This is one of them.
Are you currently watching any K-Dramas?

Here's Suho ft Remy.

그대와 나

I heard this one on Spotify.
I think the next Kdrama to watch shall be this one.. W.
I have heard lots about it and after seeing this MV I think it will be a great match for me.

Enjoy!

사랑을 찾는 방법

I finished the drama Cinderella and Four knights the other day, but I'm still hooked on the OST.
Here is another song I fell for while following the drama.

ENJOY!

신데렐라와 네 명의 기사

We started watching this last Friday, since I have been hooked, it brings back so many memories.

For you

My new addiction is the Korean tv drama called 신데렐라와 네 명의 기사, Cinderella and 4 knights.
It's all a Korean drama can be, SUPER corny but just lovable!

Here's one of the OST's I really like.
However it so reminds me of Super Junior KRY's Angel, that was released way back. I thought it was them at first because of the lyrics then they started to sing and I was like.. This is not SuJu..haha
It might be the same song but different lyrics, not sure but it sounds VERY VERY similar.
Well.. not matter what, I love it.

Here's BTOB with For You.

ENJOY!

말해! 뭐해?

Here's another OST I like from the drama Descendants of the Sun.
This song is by K.Will and it's called Talk Love. Korean title is 말해! 뭐해?, which literary means Tell me, What are you up to?.

It has been a perfect song to way up to these past days ^^
It's so cheerful!

Enjoy!



Let's break it up.
말해 means "to talk".
말 means "talk/say"
해 comes from 하다 and means "to do"

It can also means, tell me or say something. it all depends on HOW you say it.

But since they put a ! after I say tell me.

뭐해 means what are you doing.
해 comes from 하다 and means "to do"
뭐 means what.

태양의 후예

I finally decided to watch this drama, and it has become quite addictive. I'm already up to date as I had a marathon the other day. I only have the remaining 3 SPs.
The ending was pretty bad, sorry but what kind of crap was that?? So much excitement until the end then that!? Well well..will see what happens.
For some reasons, I'm a bit disappointed with Song Hye Kyo's acting, I used to like her a lot but there have been way too many scenes where I'd call her acting extremely poor.
Song Joong Gi's English is almost incomprehensible, I'm sorry but I have to read the Korean subs to understand it. Also there were a few times when it got messed up, A speaking English and B Korean, at first they did not understand each other suddenly they had a conversation completely matching each other.

As for the 3 SP episodes left I think I won't be able to see the extras until I return from Asia.

내일도 칸타빌레

One of my fave dramas are Nodame Cantabile, and when I heard that they'd make a Korean version, I wasn't too sure.
I mean, Tamaki Hiroshi and Ueno Juri were made for the parts as Chiaki-sempai and Nodame.
Oh well, it will be interesting to see how this story will develop! It's a few weeks left but I'm excited already ^^

Title: Cantabile Tomorrow
Hangul: 내일도 칸타빌레(Naeildo Kantabilre)
Network: KBS2
Episodes: TBA
Broadcast: October 13, 2014 --
Runtime: Mon & Tue 21:55

Original Story
Shinichi Chiaki, an arrogant, multilingual perfectionist, is the top student at Momogaoka College of Music and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. Born into a musical family, he is talented in piano and violin and once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy (namely Prague), but is trapped in Japan because of his childhood phobia of airplanes and the ocean. In contrast, Megumi Noda, or "Nodame", is a piano student at Momogaoka, notorious for messiness and eccentric behavior. Despite being very talented, Nodame prefers to play by ear rather than according to the musical score; thus, she is regarded as sloppy and playful.

When they meet by accident, Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame's unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Along the way, they meet some crazy people (like Masumi, Mine, and Stresemann) and make lasting friendships. Because of Nodame, Chiaki gets the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people's musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible.

After graduation, Nodame succeeds in curing Chiaki from his phobias and they both move to Paris, where Nodame continues her piano studies at the Conservatoire de Paris while Chiaki starts a professional career as a conductor. In Europe, they encounter new friends and rivals, as well as keep in touch with their friends from Japan.

운명처럼 널 사랑해

I watched the Taiwanese drama back in 2008, now it's time for a Korean make over.
So far so good I'd say. Although I know what will happen it's fun to watch. Jang Hyuk looks so different, I guess it's because I haven't seen him for quite some time!! It's also fun to see Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara back together, it was been 12 years since last time if I'm not mistaken ^^
Also, I wonder if this will suppress the original version!?

I haven't really watched a lot of Korean dramas or movies lately, mainly because I haven't found a drama that interest me, lack of time, and I have been watching other things.
