[eng subs] S.E.S. & Fly to the Sky: 'Day by Day' Music Drama [1999.12.30]

Here's a little thing Fly to the Sky and S.E.S. did in 1999, on a KBS special called 밀레니엄 스타탄생. I got this from the S.E.S. fancafé Issue (here), and the original source seems to be the fansite LAFE. Comedian Kim Youngchul also makes a cameo, reciting his "I'm sorry" act from Gag Concert. I've uploaded it on Youtube as well, though since the Day by Day music was claimed it had to be removed. The story is a little confusing, especially when watching for the first time, so I've made an attempt at an explanation, which is under the cut. Of course, spoilers below.

Okay, so here's the story. Brian and Eugene are an item and Brian's nothing but a sweetie—pure love everywhere. On the other hand, Bada's dating Hwanhee, but Hwanhee is a serial cheater who hits his girlfriend, not a good guy at all. One day, Brian sees Eugene and Hwanhee together, but he decides to ignore them. (It's possible that Eugene was forced into a relationship with Hwanhee, based on her lying to Hwanhee about forgetting Brian. I'm not sure why she would keep seeing such a dangerous guy if she wasn't under some sort of duress.) Later, Hwanhee figures out that Eugene likes Brian and sends a bunch of people to beat him up—as I said, not a good guy—and basically forces Eugene to end things with him. But Eugene and Brian still have each other in their hearts, and when they cross upon each other at the gas station they long wistfully for each other. That's what I got from the video, though I could be wrong.

Am I here to promote something again? Yes.

Do you like old K-pop? Well, if you're visiting this blog I'd reckon you are, but anyways. If you do, visit the Old K-Pop Forum, made by the wonderful user @babyvoxi, where you can get your old K-pop on all day with pictures, videos, and discussions about guess what. Voxi also has a site with the same name, which has downloads and galleries for lots of stars. If you've ever been nostalgic for the olden days of web and forum culture (but without all the messy stuff), go check these sites (and Voxi's blog) out!

I'm Taking Requests! (For As Long As I Feel Like It)

Do you - yes, you! - have a certain article you want to see translated? A group you wanna learn more about? A few song lyrics you wanna know the meaning of? Well, guess what: I am officially taking requests! Why? Because I'm bored and don't have much to do. But this isn't without laws (무법천지다, 와!); first off, make sure it's not too long. Don't give me a six page magnum opus on Y2K or whatever yet, I'm not gonna finish it. Second, it has to be relevant to 1st generation K-pop, because that's my field of interest, not Big Bang or whatever. Third, if somehow this gets busy (and possibly even if it isn't) I will definitely take long translating request - it's not at all an easy job, so be easy on me even if it takes four years for me to get to it.

If you have no idea what specifically you want translated, don't worry; I have a document full of links to archived articles of musical artists, actors, models, comedians, sportspeople, all the likes. From Junior (well, Junior has so much of them it takes so long to count) to Teen Star to Kiki, I've got a lot, so I probably have something on your artist (as long as they debuted or were mainly active before 2003 and after 1997). I would post the links myself if I knew of a place to do it, as Tumblr breaks whenever I get the full list and wants me to painstakingly divide it into parts. I also accept scans you picked up from the ground, as long as that didn't nuke the text in the process. Anyways, I'm open and my body is ready! Bring it on!

Slowly, I mean. Don't rush on me. I'm shy!

Self-promo time: I also subtitle videos...

...but since everything I upload on YouTube gets insta-blocked I use Dailymotion. I'm subbing whatever I want but it mostly relates to 1st gen K-pop, as that area is notoriously ignored when it comes to subbing. I'm self-promoing because I know that this is an area with demand from at least one person (me) and I want to share my works to the world~~ or something.
