      Korean dramas help you get your mind off of many unnecessary thoughts. Some dramas inspire you to keep going when you are facing an overwhelming challenge such as having problems in a relationship or having an overwhelming amount of work to do. Some of us just do not bother to keep trying and we just give up in the end but we shouldn't. This K-drama helps you realize this and gives you determination to go through that challenge we all are facing. It will teach you many things in certain situations like when you are in a relationship there will be many obstacles along the way.
     This Korean drama is called Playful Kiss this drama is a bit old since it aired back in 2010. The main male lead Baek Seung Jo, played by Kim Hyun Jong, makes you mad so much in the drama, but he has his moments. I love the female lead Oh Ha Ni, played by Jung So Min. This drama is basically about Ha Ni who is last in her school as in bad grades innocent and naïve who likes Seung Jo who is the complete opposite of her. He is very smart quiet and mean.

   The quality on Dramafever is a bit bad with this drama so I will give you the link for the episode 1 on Viki drama down below. I hope this drama will help you get through the hard things you are going through.

         Hello, everyone a new week started again. I miss the weekend do you? Who is going to be the next artists on today's topic. Drum Roll.... It is none other than Seventeen! This K-pop boy group debuted earlier in 2015, but had their small broadcasting show called 17 TV back in 2013. From the name you probably already know the number of members are currently thirteen. I have not heard of when will they add more members to have all seventeen. The members are Dino, Joshua, Seungkwan, Jun, DK, Wonwoo, Mingyu, Woozi, The8, Vernon, Jeonghan, S.Coups, and Hoshi. This k-pop boy group is under the company known as Pledis Entertainment along with the k-pop groups Hello Venus, and After School. They came out with three hit songs which are Shining Diamond, Adore U, and there new song Mansae. Today's song I will show you will be Mansae which is down below.
This song is for those who feel like they are not pretty and did not came from the big city or never got the chance to be chosen first in a basketball group in your elementary school class. Listen to this song and let the music pick you up from your fall. Until Next Time!

       Were you amused by Weekly Idol episode last time? Did it make you laugh? Well, this variety show goes to many places to complete their mission from malls to stadiums. It has over 200 episodes. It is very funny as well. I recently started watching this and it is really funny. I do not watch the episodes in order, I watch them out of order.So, if you skip around here and there it is okay. Today's show will be Running Man! Many episodes are available on YouTube. We have access to many episodes. Even though I started this show it makes time fly fast with laughter. I can not really summarize the whole show since it will result in spoilers. All I can say is that the guests are famous K-pop idols who will compete against the main hosts. It is a pretty memorable thing to watch and talk about what happened in that episode.
This has English subtitles so you do not have to worry about the language barrier. I hope you enjoy this and have a nice day!

         Welcome, my lovely readers. What did you think of the k-drama You're Beautiful or Rooftop Prince? If you could not watch them on Dramafever. Viki drama is the next best thing. I can not say much about KShowOnline because I have not used it yet, but it is on my to do list. Feel free to try it my friend watches her dramas on there and she tells me that it is really great. Oh my Ghostess! I am getting off track. Let's go on to our K-drama talk. Oh My Ghostess is a new K-drama that aired on July 3 to August 22 of this year. I have seen the first few episodes and it is very hilarious. I love the main character Na Bong-Sun. I swear that she is living the dream.
         This drama is about a young woman Na Bong-Sun who is very innocent and shy gets possessed by this ghost Shin Soon-Ae who is very seductive in a very fun way. This for everyone to watch in my opinion, but if it had an age restriction it would be 15 and older. This drama will make you laugh cry and say no~. This is a romance comedy like no other. Whenever you have time today watch this drama like you did with the others before. Laugh like you never did before. You might get mad at first, but you will feel better afterwards. Let all your emotions out in this K-drama. Even though I really recommended the other dramas. I strongly recommend watching this drama. All the Korean dramas are gender neutral. So, if there are any guys out there they are fanboys out there who love K-pop and K-dramas. You all might learn some hidden dating tips or something.
Here is the link below to watch the first episode. Enjoy!

        Hello everyone, can you guess what is today's topic will be? If you said k-pop or music videos you are correct! Since last time we talked about a k-pop boy band today we will talk about a k-pop girl group. This girl group is Girls Generation which has 8 members nine by heart. One of the members unfortunately left the company, but is still active. The members are Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Yuri, Yoona, Sooyoung, Jessica, and Seohyun. A fun fact is that most of the members already made their acting debut in Korean dramas like Prime Minister and I and the drama Dating Agency: Cyrano. This k-pop group made their debut song Into the New World back in August 2007. Since then, they have produced many hit songs. Under the company SM Entertainment they became very successful like many other artists under the same company like Fx and SHINee. SM is not the only successful company there are others like YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment. Now here in 2015 they made a powerful with three new hit songs. Recently, they came out with their new song You Think. This song is for those who was a victim of a guy or girl lied to you and never really cared about you, but now they do who knows if this time it is sincere.

 
Next time we with take a look at the Korean Drama Oh My Ghostess. Hope you have a wonderful day! Bye~

       Today's topic is K-pop idols on variety shows. Many female and male idols are never afraid to show their dorky side and embarrassed. This is a very admirable thing they do for us at live concerts or on variety shows. One variety show I recommend to see is Weekly Idol. The main MCs are Donnie and Defconn who teases their guests and makes them do a variety of things for free food like chicken or beef. To us it may sound like something affordable, but in South Korea meat is very expensive so they cannot eat it on a daily basis like we do. I like this show because you can see how close the members are so close in reality versus just in the public eye. Part one is the one below as well as part two.
       This is the famous group BTS which stands for Bangtan Boys. This is a boy group that consists of seven members. The members are V (Taehyun), Suga (Yoongi), Jin, Jungkook, Rap Monster Jimin, and J-Hope. This is a new boy group who debuted in 2013. They are very silly and very close since their debut and they continue to strengthen their bond. I hope you really enjoy this episode if not try looking for other Weekly Idol episodes to make your day. See you soon!

         K-dramas are similar to anime, but it is more like the live action of anime. In my opinion, some Korean dramas should really be made into an anime. I just really wanted to get that out there. So, if you love anime Korean dramas are the next best thing. Anyways after getting a lot of my homework done, the Korean drama Rooftop Prince has been following me around on Facebook. On Facebook I liked and am following the official Dramafever page kept posting scenes of the drama. As a result, I decided okay fine I will watch you. Another reason I started watching this drama is because of Yoochun who is a hottie actor that makes me drool. I am just kidding I do not drool unless there is shower scenes and his acting skills which is ten out of ten in my opinion.
       While watching the first episode many emotions took me over like I cried and got mad. In Korean dramas there will always be that one character that you really want to slap them because some of the things they do is very upsetting and messed up. Rooftop Price is one example there is Hwa Yong character you will not like she is the evil older step sister of Bu Yong and Yong Tae Moo who is the half cousin of the lead male character Yong Tae Yong. This drama is good for letting those tears out that you had been holding in for so long and that anger that you have bottling up inside just be careful not to throw your phone, break your laptop, punch the wall while watching this drama. You might want to have a pillow to bite of your anger or cry into while watching this one. Some Korean addicts might do this, but I have not gotten to that stage since I do not want to ruin the little image I have left. You should check it out and see if this your type of drama.  After going on Dramafever in the link below go to the search box and type Rooftop Prince and it should be the first result you will get. There will be advertisements and luckily the first episode is in good quality.

    Lately, I have been occupied with schoolwork so it has been hard to catch up on my Korean dramas, but there are many new fresh out of the sea K-dramas. One thing I am still staying up to date with is K-pop new releases as in music videos and comebacks. Since I am a bit behind on my Korean dramas I will recommend some on my next post. Today's topic is CNBlue comeback with their new song Cinderella which is about when you bump into a girl you do not know and you both spend time together, but the next morning she is gone and left her shoe behind. This might not be accurate since it is only what I got from watching the music video. This is basically a more real life modern Cinderella you can say. While I was watching this and sitting on a bench outside I could not help myself I was smiling like an idiot. The members voices melted my heart and me being foolish and not so innocent fan girl I almost yelled out "Why can we not meet now and get married?!" in public like they were just being so attractive and just my type of guy. Anyways, CNBlue stands for Code Name Blue. This is a five member boy band that debuted in 2010. The members are Jung Yong-hwa, Lee Jong-hyun, Lee Jung-shin, and Kang Min-hyuk so it is the main singer/rapper, lead vocal/guitar, bass guitar/vocals, and the drummer/vocals which is listed in the same order of the members. They produce rock and pop music. Most of the members acted in many K-dramas before, but not all together in the same drama. Even though it was Monday k-pop makes you feel better no matter what you are going through you just have to find that right song. There should have subtitles if you turn on the CC on YouTube.Until Next Time!

   K-dramas is short for Korean dramas. It ranges from romance, comedy, action, and so on. A typical K-drama usually has hour long episodes like in a Spanish soap opera. Korean dramas are different from others since many things can happen in the first episode. An example would be the first episode of the romance comedy You're Beautiful. [Spoiler Alert!] In the first episode, there is a nun who is known for being clumsy when suddenly a manager of her twin brother finds her tries to convince her of taking her brother's place basically, she will have to dress like a guy and not let anyone find out that he is actually a she. If this drama does not catches your attention go for a genre that you like and give it a try. It never hurts watching episode one of a drama. Once you chose a Korean drama that catches your eyes prepared to be amazed. Now its time to go on a website to watch a Korean drama with English subtitles. You can go on Hulu, Dramafever, Viki, or KShowOnline. The links are
www.hulu.com
www.dramafever.com
https://www.viki.com
www.kshowonline.com
On Viki and Dramafever you will have to register to watch a Korean drama, but you can always sign in using Twitter or Facebook. 
   Another thing is that every K-drama will have an OST which stands for Original Soundtrack and has all the main songs in a Korean drama. Songs from an OST are sung by Korean pop idols or the actors themselves in the drama.

    What is K-pop? K-pop is short for Korean pop music. It consists of rock, pop, R&B, hip hop, and rap music. When listening to k-pop the language barrier that keeps you from understanding it disappears. It is a genre that understands you whether you are going through a break up, falling in love, or feeling very self-conscious about yourself. There are songs and music videos that you can relate to. Who knows maybe when you listen to a k-pop or watching a k-pop music video you let out those tears you have been holding back for so long.
     There are many bands, solo artists, as well as, boy or girl groups. One of the things you will notice is a typical k-pop boy or girl group usually ranges from five to ten members. Although, it may seem like too much drama it actually is not they have a strong bond that keeps growing even after their debut. Many k-pop idols are never afraid to treat us as they would to their friends and members, but when it comes to producing a new song, music video they work really hard for the fans.

Here is one of my favorite music videos that I hope you will like called Love Me Right by the k-pop boy group EXO for all those who are in love.
Next time, I will tell you about Korean dramas. Until next time!
