Hey, hey! It’s me, Just Dandy! SYP’s latest addition to the craziness hereonwith. Unlike Fabia.O and Shabang, I tend to say things more bluntly and not have a care with all the *bleeps* and the *bleeps* that some *bleeps* have to say.
So, let’s get it on!~
We all know Kim Bum’s latest action drama, DREAM, started airing a couple of days ago. And while our resident ex-BOF playboy/hottie seems to have channeled a Goo Joon Pyo during this drama (who knew he had that MUCH hair!), it seems that his acting skills still left little to be desired.
A half naked Kim Bum? Sure why not. But what the heck was that kiss supposed be?? At least Son Dambi managed to pucker up… a bit. Too bad all she got was a smiley-faced, closed mouth, carcass. And to top it all off, the director decided to go in for a closer shot, leaving viewers with a WTF? expression on their faces afterwards.
Makes one wonder how he does it in real life. Or maybe, after 21 years and 6 dramas, he has yet to learn the art of acting kissing? Hmmm…
To our patient readers who have only shown us kindness… Sorry for the lack of updates, we will be more dedicated in future to giving more updates to the blog. Our forums is where we’ve mainly been updating, nevertheless we will be giving more attention to the blog from now on. So in that respect I will be rounding up some news in one post to get us a little up to date.
Choi JinShils Suicide
Another sad and depressing piece of news has rocked the entertainment industry. Choi JinShil the talented actress and mother of two was found dead on the morning of the 2nd of October. Ms. Choi had committed suicide in the bathroom and was discovered by her mother. Apparently, one of the causes of her suicide was lending money to the late Ahn JaeHwan, who also committed suicide last month. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family and two children, rest in peace Choi JinShil. I came to adore Choi JinShil for her role in 장밋빛 인생 (also known as My Rosy Life), and kept an eye out for her appearances in other dramas, she is truly a great loss to the acting community.
Cast for Hana Yori Dango FINALLY revealed!
Just as the last ounce of interest was about to leave, they announce the F4 lead characters, yet no news on the lead girl. Anyhow, earlier this week Group 8 kindly let us know who will be starring in their ever-so-special Korean version of the Japanese mange “Hana Yori Dango” (Boys over Flowers). F4s Domyouji Tsukasa will be Lee MinHo, Hanazawa Rui is Kim HyunJoong (shock horror), Nishikada Sojiroh is Kim Bum and Mimisaka Akira is Kim Joon. After all this time, you would think that they would blow us away with a high profile cast, nevertheless I am remotely interested after seeing the list. The acting I imagine will be somewhat decent considering two of the boys are actors, whatever happened to all those idols auditioning? What next? The female lead please.
BoA needs her lunch
Whether this entire song is a play on little Miss.Kwon BoAs name we don’t know, but BoAs debut song for the US has been leaked? Released? With SM and Kpop artists/entertainment companies I really don’t know anymore. Check out BoAs American debut single “Eat You Up” though on Toudou…
Damn is the chorus catchy
SeeYa are back as…?
That big bow and hair and wigs and clothes and….O_O
Balladeers go disco. SeeYa come back in to the limelight with a new single titled “Hot Girls”, with an unexpected twist of image. Their clothes remind me of Roller Discos, all that is missing is retro roller skates and SeeYa are good to go….straight in to the 70s. What a waste of talent really, I do not dig the outfits, the hair, the clothes and choreography, the song isn’t so bad though. Whatever happened though to the news of Nam GyuRi leaving SeeYa? To be honest, I actually was egging on the news, since I find the two other members are criminally underrated and I truly don’t get all the interest Nam GyuRi is getting. Anyhow, good luck to them and their promotions, it’s sure to do well since SeeYa are so popular.
Epik Highs new album
Epik High – 1분 1초 (feat. 타루) English subbed by TheAsianMission
Epik High and their music differs from Season to Season/album to album yet still remains the same, and that is what’s so special about them. I have Epik Highs new mini-album and it’s up to par as expected with the talented Trio. 1분 1초 (1 minute 1 second) is definitely worth a listen and a watch for the MV, the rewinding and artistic interpretation of the songs meaning is vintage Epik High and continues to impress you as time goes on. It almost seems like these guys make things so effortlessly. I can’t wait to see them perform, their stage presence is always so captivating.
On a final note, The 7-Day Relay has been cancelled for more up-to-date and regular posts.
