Javabeans, how do you feel about Shinhwa in their solo roles? I know that you've mentioned DongWan's and Eric's acting before. I was really impressed with Eric's acting in Que Sera Sera and Invincible Parachute Agent. I also have enjoyed the solo albums of the three members recently. I agree that the new groups cannot compare in terms of charisma and talent. Maybe, it's my age, but I only enjoy Shinhwa.

Thanks for your awesome translation! I loved both the drama and now your translation of the novel! I had great butterflies in my stomach and I was picturing all the actors as the characters. OOH!

You made my day! Much appreciated!

I'm glad you enjoy the music, jb. I basically look online and keep my eyes open for any artists that catch my eye, and generally I'll give almost anything a try. That means I listen to a lot of bad music but finding one I like makes it worth it. And thanks to Yesasia and Koreatown, I can get almost anything I'm looking for.

Ew. Ever since I watched "Love Story in Harvard" my image of Kim Rae Won became TOTALLY ruined.
I hated his face and I found him totally obnoxious even in attic cat. I dont see why people think he's handsome. (EW)

Thanks for sharing all these lovely indie Korean bands/singers on yr blog. Seriously where do you find these songs? Especially in the US, I assume, where you live? Either way I am thankful...for it is awesome to find a good critic/reviewer of Korean dramas (in English) and for introducing me to some amazing music. Have a great week ahead :)

Lol, I don't get all the Park Jin Young hate. The man's good at what he does, which is churning out successful pop stars and producing extremely popular music. Sure, he's not exactly a looker, but I miss the days when that didn't automatically mean he'd never have a singing career. He also speaks english fluently and has a better grasp of the US market than any other kpop producers-moguls. Yeah he's a little creepy and I don't love his artists (Wonder Girls, blergh) but I respect his accomplishments. I know you're joking, but Rain's failed US tour was completely his own doing, since Rain left JYPE before the rash of bad promo and canceled concerts.
