My Fave Korean Boy Bands and stuff you might not know about Them :)

It's been a long time since my last blog. Things have been pretty busy lately. So today I'm going to devote this post to my fave bands of the moment.
Infinite is my current fave even though I've kinda lost interest a bit to some newer groups. THe members are SungGyuMyungsoo (L), Dongwoo, Hoya, Woohyun, SungYeol, and SungJong. The group was just amazing and I discovered them after being curious about Hoya in the drama Reply 1999. So like I got quite hooked onto Infinite and just got fan crazy, snagging any merch that was available in kcon. Anyways, my top fave is Dongwoo. WE are like thick lipped twinzies and I just really like him in Infinite H's (duo of Hoya and Dongwoo) Special Girl song. He's so swag and he has a special kind of rap. He's not like super handsome, but I find much similarities with him. We both laugh weirdly, like to mess around and talk! I also get cranky in the morning like him. Next one I like is Myungsoo aka L. When I saw him in the She's Back mv, I fell in love. I watched Shut up Flower Boy Band which he was in even though I didn't really like the drama. You should go check it out. Just saying ;) Anyways, loved him in SungGyu's 60 Seconds and he was like my bias for the longest time.  Over time, I found some pretty good looking bias, but I would say Myungsoo is still one of my favourites. I am trying my best to order a copy of his Viewtiful. Next is Hoya. I fell inlove with him also, not really now in Reply 1999 cuz the main guy was not my fave person in the world. I checked him out and like life went on from their. He really likes purple and erm... he can dance really well! SungGyu is my good friend's ultimate bias. She writes like fanfics and their pretty awesome. I have to admit that his album was amazing and I luckily got it in Korea! 60 Seconds was awesome and yeah. You can check out my review somewhere. Anyways, I found a girl version of him. She had like the same redhair and all black outfit and strong vocals. Her names SeungYoon I think. Shes from KARA. This brings me onto a whole new story of how I found Park Gyuri in Nail Shop Paris, then Kara, but like whatevs. I'll save that story for later. So Woohyun, Sungyeol,  and Sunjong are like the left outs. Always the least liked by their members. The have charisma. Sunjongs cute, Sungyeol lacks common sense in an adorable way, and Woohyun seems to be pretty popular too. I don't only like Infinite for their appearances, but I really truly feel the emotion and soul they put into their lyrics. Every song has a unique melody. The Chaser is a classic, and Man In Love was total daebak! I just recently watched the Japanese version and it was sooooo good. Their dancing skills are so preoffesional and sick! They did the scorpion which was amazing. BTW, Infinite all have abs.I think I should review CL's Baddest Girl or female soon. Yah, sooo Infinite is my fave and top band right now. SECRET; I kinda maybe have posters of them in my room and stare  them to sleep. Maybe, not saying I do. I also currently have the Infinite First Invasion, Infinite Evolution, Infinitize, Infinite 4th Minii Album, Sungkyu's Another Me, and INfinite H's album. I am currently hunting for the Viewtiful and more! All albums come with photo collectibles and I luckily found Myungsoo. There are also many photos.
      
      My next fave kpop group is BTOB. I first discovered them when I was watching Romantic Idol Seson 2. You shuld go check it out. Their was this really cute guy called MInhyuk that was so perfect with a girl called Yewon from Jewelry. I immediately investigated him and found out that he was from a rookie group called BTOB. The members are Minhyuk the visual, Ilhoon, Peniel, EunKwang, Changsub, HyunShik, and Sungjae. Anyways, the groups got the same rock vibe that Cube Ent. puts in a lot of their boy bands including Beast and CN Blue. They have some super catchy songs like Insane, Wow, and Irresistable Lips. So first, Minhyuk is the supercute visual that stars in all the mvs. Eunkwang is the leader and he has strong vocals. Not as good as Sunggyu, but very good. Peniel is your boy from Chicago who speaks fluent English, Changsub is the aegyo kid, HyunShik is just there, and Sung Jae is the maknae who looks a lot like the lead guy from Reply 1999. I only possess one album that they have, and that is there second mini album, Press Play. I sadly have the Sungjae collectable card and many photos of the group though. Minhyuk is very fast and won many events in the Idol Olympics. He also appeared in Taecyon and Emma Wu's WE Got Married Global. Minhyuk was also in Reckless Family 2 with MIn from Miss A. How cute ~

     My last fave is my most recent one, B1A4. Oh, CNU oppa, be mine! Their so cute and I really like Baro. I;m super new to this group so I don't really know much yeah. I'll blog about this band when I have deeper knowledge, so for now, the members are Baro the rapper, CNU, Sandeul, GongChan, and JInyoung. Yeah... I'm watching I need a fairy which CNU is in with Woori or KIm yoon hye. I am also watching B1A4's Hello Baby. So cute.. I came across them when a friend of mine in Hong Kong was in Korea with me. She told me about them and yeah.... Btw, I am from Canada, not from Korea. Sad life. Yeah. she self taught herself Korean and she luckily got to be freaking VIP[ IN the BigBang concert. My mom would have let me gone to the VIP Concert thingy, but our flight was one day late. Booo I was so sad.

  This group is not really my fave, but for my friend Alana. She really likes B2ST SO YAH... The members are Yoon Doo-Joon, Son Dong-Woon, Lee Gi-Kwang, Yang Yo-Seob, Jang Hyun-Seung, and Yong Jun-Hyung. Beast's Beautiful Night was very interesting and catchy as she played it 24/7 at church. Literally. Anyways, I like HyunSeung and JunHyung. HyunSeung was in trouble maker which I knew with HYuna,  and JunHung from the latest drama Monstar which I also covered. Did you know that JUnHyung dated Goo Hara from Kara? Crazy right. Anyways, check out Yoseob's song Caffeine. Its pretty epic.

                                        ~안녕, Gloria~ Btw, I wrote this all on my own and personal will.

Dramas You Should Watch

So, I'm going to list dramas you should watch. I'm going to start from 2009 to 2013. I'm not going to really review all of them properly, but I'll review more magnificent or less boring drama of that year. okay, let's get started! Just a warning, listing the dramas doesn't mean I like them a lot, it just means you might like the stars in it. These eras might be good for maybe the more teenaged years or you know what, whatever age. Anyways, I'll do each year on separate posts so I can write more.

2009
  • Boys Before Flowers Lee Min Ho, Koo Hye Sun, Kim Hyung Joon, Kim Bum, Kim So Eun
  • High Kick Through the Roof Many Characters, too many
  • IRIS Lee Byung Hyun, Kim Tae Hee, Kim Seung Woo, Kim So Eun, Jung Joon Ho, Kim Young Chul, TOP
  • Shining Inheritance Lee Seung Gi, Han Hyo Joo, Moon Chae Won,
  • You're Beautiful Lee Shin Hye, Jang Eun Seuk, Lee Hong Ki, Jung Yong Hwa, UEE
Kay so their were some really hit dramas that just really introduced the kdrama world or evolution. Maybe at the time I wasn't interested, but when I first started watching dramas, I have to say, none beats the classic, Boys Before Flowers. Number one for 2009, the characters are individually interesting, the side characters look so pretty together, and the scenery, gosh. It was just breathtaking. Boys Before Dramas is every girl's fantasy and I really enjoyed watching KIm Bum and So Eun together. High Kick also had Kim Bum. Although I had to skip many episode as their were too many, I did have a fun time watching the sitcom. I only watched Iris for TOp. That mean jerk, cracked a girls neck after they kissed! The drama was a bit violent, but I got to say, TOP'S acting was very impressive! As for Tae Hee, she was just okayish. Shining Inheritance was a very good drama. It taught me the importance of humbleness and Lee Seung Gi was very cute with Han Hyo JOO. Not to mention, Moon Chae Won was such a great character! Your'e beautiful had all the stars. The drama was very cute and I think younger viewers might enjoy it more. It's set in a darker esque so like basically the main guys all punk and guyliner. Yes, I'm not a big fan of Jang Eun Seuk. Anyways, 2009 was a great year. The only problem was that some dramas weren't in HD so like it was kinda blurry. LOl. I hope I can soon post the 2010 review! Byeee. ~GloGLO

MNET Monstar

Kay, so a friend of mine asked me to do a blog on B2ST. Okay, you wish Is granted. I'll do a review on the next new B2ST song that comes out, but for now I'll talk about a new mini drama that stars many members of different popper groups such as B2ST'S Yong Joon-Hyung, BTOB'S Minhyuk, Sunjae, and more BTOB members. Don't forget female star Ha Yeon Soo who looks really young. Kinda like Shannon Areum Williams, maknae of Coed School and 5dolls. Don't forget sensational cutie, Kang Ha Neul, the guy who captured fan's attentions in To the Beautiful You starring Choi Sulli of FX and Minho of Shinee. Anyways, I looked over the teasers and the drama looks really filtered. The music sounds good. Let's hope this drama hits it big! With such a large list of idols acting, I hope the drama can become more popular!

2PM Comeback

OKay, watched dream high, came across Wooyoung, not so much Taecyeon, but I started learning about kpop when I saw IU and Wooyoung. I found out that he was in the band 2pm and watched their sang Hands Up which came a few months before. I legitly devoted  my life to search and research them. So I like wait and wait and I just gave up. No major comeback and then I just got into Infinite and like Btob and on... So when I heard that they were finally after like longer than EXo, they came out with Comeback When YOu Hear this Song, I was like omg, finally. So I like listened and to my surprise, the song was delightfullygood. Btw, I think Chansung looks better thanwooyoung now. So like the song is basically about how all the members like like this one girl and have times with her. And yes, by time I meant Chansung did have you know what with her. So like they all treat her poorly and she is like upset, and then at the end they love her again, blah, blah, blah. The melody is total JYP representation, an actual song where you can sing along, not like T-ara N4's Jeon Won Diary. By the way did I mention that the song sucked? The guys all looked so much more mature and yeah. I'd give the song a 7.5 out of 10. Anyways, go check out the song.
Track List:
01. 하.니.뿐. [unreleased]
02. 이 노래를 듣고 돌아와 (Come Back When You Hear This Song)
03. 원점으로
04. I’m Sorry
05. 오늘부터 1일
06. Dangerous
07. 오늘 하루만
08. Game Over
09. Coming Down
10. 고백 (Go Back)
11. Love Song
12. 문득

The Wonderful takes on the Classic Mischevious Kiss

          Kay, if you didn't know, the original Mischievous Kiss was actually Japanese. Well, that's what kinda shocked me. No hate, I just took interest in Korean stuff more. Its called and it was in like 1996 so not really going to get into that. Then, in 2005, the Taiwanese one came out with Ariel Lin, baby faced beauty. Still didn't really know until like 2008 when my cousin introduced me, but that drama took a large hit. In 2010 however, my cousin introduced me to the Korean version, Playful Kiss starring Kim Hyun Joon and the girl from can we get married. She told me that it was a crabby drama so I was like, whatevs, I don't have interest either. Until the day I started watching City Hunter to Dream High, to Boys Before Flowers, I finally did watch the drama and to my surprise, I LIKED IT. I actually kinda became obsessed. So like yah, got over that up until legitly yesterday. I was sitting at Cora's enjoying some free wifi when I came across a drama called Mischievous Kiss. So like I clicked on it but the stupid wifi just wouldn't cooperate up until today. I clicked on it, and to my surprise, it was Japanese. Interesting... Like I said, I have never watched JDramas or enjoyed Jpop. The drama was actually kinda interesting so yah... The weird thing is that the girl is only freakin 16 and the guy is like 26. Btw, the drama is called Itazura na Kiss ~ Love in Tokyo. If you were a fan of the Korean one, why not see the Japanese one? I'm praying to God I won't get addicted again.
