Out of Focus

I don't know what is with me and drama-watching these days. I haven't picked up or started watching the dramas I started watching ever since. There's no motivation in me to do it. There's this feeling of boredom that's tugging at me. If I start one, I may not finish it.

Then there's this impulse for me to get started on a totally new drama, but it fades away pretty quickly because I can't bring myself to do it.

I think I'm getting tired of my boring life.

How is that possible?




Well it seems to be so.

Look-a-Like #3

Shin Se Kyung (신세경 )  vs. Lee Yeon Hee (이연희)

Left: LYH Right: SSK

Left: SSK Right: LYH

Left: SSK Right: LYH

Left: SSK Right: LYH

I think their eyes are the most similar connection between them. I first saw 

Shin Se Kyung in Queen Seon Deok and Lee Yeon Hee after in Ghost and put

 the two together.

Shin Se Kyung is born in 1990 (age 22) and Lee Yeon Hee in 1988 (age 24),

 however I always thought Shin Se Kyung looked older than her age.

*However in terms of acting, Shin Se Kyung gets my vote. Lee Yeon Hee...perhaps should stay to

modelling or CF's.

Takeshi Kako- Blue Horizon
(my feelings in music)

I'm not a person of words, and I don't know how to express myself well.
So it comes a time, where I will feel very passionate and expressive about a drama. However, when it comes to grouping my emotions and idea on screen, it becomes a hard and painful task. I mean, it's all in me already, why can't I find the right words or sentence to let it out?

Striking a Chord// News Edition

Kdrama news that happened recently and struck a chord with me:


Lee Jun-ki , Shin Mi-na's [Arang and the Magistrate] Premiere Date Pushed Back

"Though originally slated to premiere towards the end of this month was delayed due to the upcoming London Olympics and the drama will instead premiere after the conclusion of the Olympics." (enewsworld) So from the much anticipated July 25th, the date has been pushed to a long August the 15th.This couldn't be more of a reason to curse the olympics would it? What better time could you have come Mr. Olympics...

Thoughts on Hallyu [韓流]

I'm sure pretty much everyone knows a Korean music group, can name or have watched at least one Korean drama/movie and has at least one favourite celebrity? I fit the criteria of all the above. I don't remember when it actually started, it was a gradual phenomenon I suppose. Like a branch, you start at one node , which leads to another and many more connecting afterwards. 

In my 'early' days of Hallyu, I remember DBSK was the talk of the town. I remember especially watching the variety shows and listening to some of their music. Fortunately, I wasn't too immersed into them to be considered a 'fan'. I just liked laughing at the variety show that had the format of a mini-drama. Now, K-pop has evolved tremendously with the more popular than ever "girl/boy" groups I see plagued everywhere on the internet. When it comes to

Look-A-Like's #1

First post on a topic I've always wanted to post. And that is "Look-a-Likes" !I'm sure everyone has had those moments where we have to double-check our eyes to see if the person we were looking at was really who we thought they were. Although everyone's perception on similarity will vary, these are my perceptions.

Hyun Woo-Sung (현우성) VS. Park Si-Hoo (박시후)

Thoughts: So how did I suddenly come up with these two? 

I was watching a drama (that I will recommend later on) called  "Heaven's Garden", a drama probably not well-known to many because it's a cable drama and the genre does not appeal to a great audience, and Hyun Woo-Sung appeared in the first episode. I did not know who he was, but I suddenly had a double-take and asked myself, isn't that Park Si-Hoo? First of all, I've only seen Park Si-Hoo in pictures and drama recaps, I haven't watched any of his shows but I just remember his face. But no, it wasn't! So that was my "double-take" moment which prompted me to introduce this first addition to my "Look-a-Like's" special. 

*personally, I think Hyun Woo-Sung looks better ;)

Han Hye Jin's displays her "Natural Beauty" in upcoming CF. 

Recently, Han Hye Jin has been shooting for a korean cosmetic brand CF, with the concept being "Natural Beauty". For this CF, not only did she perfectly fit the concept of "natural beauty", but along with the green scenery, a pure white dress, and Han Hye Jin's fresh appearance , these factors all contributed to a refreshing appearance.

Drama Schedule ["Old" Shows] // Part 2

Damo OST: Da Mo (Oboe Solo)

Let's face it. Korean dramas are so plentiful, there is just not enough time to watch every single one.  Perhaps you didn't have time for a drama everyone raved about in 2009 or wanted to go back in time to the starting point of korean drama craze to watch some classics. So recently, since I had 'plenty' of time, I started thinking of shows I wanted to watch that had already aired. Be it one or two years ago, or even more! Most of them were saeguks which are totally my taste, but I did manage to catch a few modern shows.

Drama Schedule [On-Air]// Part I

Big OST//Davichi: Because It's You

What am I watching right now? It's a combination of recent and old! I think one of the bad 'flaws' of my drama-watching is that I'm impatient and tend to give up easily. I can watch a drama until the 2nd to last episode...and stop right there. I really can't give an explanation to my sporadic and spontaneous behaviour.


With 'real-time' dramas airing, I tend to give up on them easier because it gets easy to lose interest on the way (because of that waiting period). I think I should try to wait for a drama to be completed before I delve into it, but...that would never happen. 


So to the dramas I've been sticking to, given up (perhaps not entirely) and have started:
