I Do, I Do- New KDrama

Kim Sun Ah is starring in a new drama called I Do, I Do. the drama has already started production and is slated to start on May 30th on MBC after the conclusion of King 2 Hearts wraps up. Kim Sun Ah has been one of my favorite actresses since Sam Soon, and I'm happy she's back for another show.
When I first read the news about this show, however, I had mixed feelings for a few reasons. The first is that the male lead opposite her is Lee Jang Woo, who I nothing about. He is best known for his roles in Glory Jane (2011) and Smile Again (2010), but I didn't watch either of those.Will this guy be able to match up to Sun Ah's acting chops?
The second reason, is the concept of the show: Sun Ah will play as Hwang Ji An, a successful shoe designer who has a one night stand with Park Tae Gang, played by Jang Woo. As it turns out, he's a new employee, and that one night stand resulted in conception. Hwang Ji An also meets a handsome doctor while all of this is going on and, of course, must choose which guy to stick with.
What I really don't want to see is a wishy-washy character. The description for Hwang Ji An, is that she is a alpha-girl, a no- nonsense woman who has made a name and career for herself. I hope that writers can keep that in mind as the show goes on.
I will be watching this show, and til the end most likely, because I can't pass up the opportunity to watch Sun Ah. She's the best, and hopefully this show will just add to the list of great dramas that I have watched.



Even the boys want to try the pretty shoes!

INFINITE- The Chaser MV




INFINITE is back with a new video off their new mini-album INFINITIZE.

There seems to be a little bit of a mystery throughout the video. L (that hotty) is in car that is turning over as it skids off the road. There's a key hanging from the mirror in the car, and that key seems to connect all the other segments of the video. What is the key for? There's a box at the end of the video that Sung Jong (the maknae) comes up and stands over with the key, but does not open. I really want to know what is in that box.

Xia Junsu's Tarantallegra

 OMGeezy, Have you seen this yet?!













5.13.2012 I was really surprised when I watched this video. The cute, adorable and innocent Junsu is gone, and in his place is a man who really knows how to shake his hips!! 
I read some comments about how he looked gay in this video but come on, you have to throw away your American standards of straight alot when it comes to international stars. They wear more makeup and dress in tighter clothes but that does not make them gay. Just like wearing baggy clothes doesn't make you a man or a lesbian. So, sit back and enjoy the hottness that is Junsu!!!

5.15.2012 This video has already reached more than 1 Million views on YouTube!!! Happy for Junsu but also just under the spell of this song and video.... can't seem to get enough

Spica

These days I keep finding out about a new groups that I can see myself following. Two days ago I found out about  Spica, a five member girl group from South Korea. They are on B2M Entertainment. As far as I know, there hasn't been a lot of buzz about these girls, but I think they are buzz worthy.

 
Their second single 'Russian Roulette'

First Songstress: 0:11 Yang Ji Won
Second Songstress: 0:24 Kim Bo A
Third Songstress: 0:35 Park Na Rae
Fourth Songstress: 0:46 Park Ju Hyun
Fifth Songstress: 0:51 Kim Bo Hyung

After watching the 'Russian Roulette' and 'Painkiller' MVs and some live performances, I already have a bias. Kim Bo A. I don't think she's the best dancer but, she just looks like she's up there singing her heart out. Love it. Also loving the fact that they are all 80s babies, since we seem to be a rare breed in  the Kpop nation.

'Big' Stills


Gong Yoo on set. I actually squealed when I saw these. CANNOT WAIT for this show!!

At first I didn't even recognize him. But he looks pretty hot here.

Tritops Found

I was randomly clicking on videos on YouTube when I ran into this one by Tripos called 'I'm a Badboy'. Compared to other groups with a million plus views, this one is pretty low with on 78,000. I was surprised by that number after watching to video. Where did these guys come from? How long have I been in the dark about these sexy singers? I'll be putting them on my 'Need to Know More' list, because this video really sparked my interest.
