愛の、がっこう。Learning to Love.

This one is a masterpiece. Drama and soundtrack. I will do a recap of this episode by episode when I get a chance.

Dynamite Kiss :) ** SPOILER WARNING ** Really late recap/review but LOVED how this series started... and love the casting (especially Kiyong haha).....Good storyline and plot to work with and not overdone, and even though there were some familiar kdrama tropes sprinkled in from the start, it still felt somewhat refreshing. Supporting cast was also pretty on point. The ending? Seemed slightly sloppily rushed and a bit choppy. I felt like they could have used at least 1 or 2 more episodes to tie things up a bit.. It just left viewers with so many unanswered questions... I think the most obviously elephant in the room that really needed to be addressed or at least tied up was the whole sister plotline...like did she eventually get a chance to talk to her sister, etc..?? I'm also uncertain about the memory loss trope haha. Was it really necessary? That time could have been used for other things (like an actual wedding scene!!!! TT -_- ) . There was sooo much potential for the ending!!!! Anyways ending aside!! I'm so delighted that they won best couple and more~~ Congrats!!!!

AHHHHHHH!!! Started this drama too early on and now can't wait for the next upcoming episodes haha. Lovely couple and Kiyong always so so so sooooo charming in his productions....*fangirling* haha. He seems to have good chemistry with all the female leads he's had so far, and I believe that says something about him as a person. (Love that he still maintains friendships with some of the female leads even after the productions are over). Although he's been acting for awhile now, I believe he's somewhat still underrated and so talented, and so is Ahn Eunjin!!!! I think she's also gotten quite lucky with her male lead co-stars as well haha. How do people like this exist haha. *_* The pacing of the 1st and 2nd episodes seemed much different than a lot of dramas in terms of developing the foundation and storyline, so we will see what happens in the upcoming episdes! ;) I'm all for the cliches and sappiness if it's from these two haha. Happy watchings.

Here are teasers #2 and #3~~

사도 (The Throne), 2015 Such a great and sad movie...

Junha Park - The Town (Lyric Video)

Still obsessed with this song and the whole drama soundtrack...

Mr. Plankton...

Such an underrated series... Has a little bit of everything. I found myself feeling a range of emotions at every twist and turn. Laughs. Cries. And everything in between. I wasn't expecting much going into it, but it left me feeling some type of way...still lingering and thinking about it. The acting of the cast was superb, especially Woo Do Hwan's character... Woo Do Hwan always delivers... and the chemistry between the cast is all there. Cinematography on point.

Torn... Liam took his passion up a notch when they sang this cover.

Walking in the Wind

Revisiting this song and listening to the lyrics again just gives this song a whole new meaning now. In fact, I don't think I'll be able to listen to any of their songs the same again... Goodbyes are bittersweet But it's not the end I'll see your face again You will find me And you will find me In places that we've never been For reasons we don't understand Walking in the wind

[ramennoodler]

Such an iconic performance, crowd, atmosphere, and....time. :'(

Thinking back, I don't know why a part of me naively thought that he was always 'fireproof' as well, along with the other members.... :( But this is a humbling reminder that we are all human and have our demons...with oftentimes unspoken pressures from both inside and out. I hope he's at peace knowing the legacy he left behind and how much he inspired and helped others.

Revisiting all these videos....they were so so great together and they ruled the music industry during their time...It's hard to believe Liam is gone... too young and too soon. RIP Liam... Rest easy, Liam..
