SS501 "Love Like This" and Triple S (SS501 too) "U R Man"

Today is the last day of February :( so that means it's the last day I'll be posting something daily. It's been fun and I discovered a few new things. I think I'll be celebrating a few different occasions in the months to come. So you'll see that. In the mean time, thank you for reading and enjoy what's next ^_^

Music Videos
 
I ran out of new videos that I really like, so I'm going to share two old videos that I'm really liking right now. They both belong to SS501, "Love Like This" and "U R Man" (which is actually performed by Triple S, but you fans out there know it's almost the same thing ^^)

Enjoy!

 

Hello School Girl movie

Hello Schoolgirl

One of the girls from SNSD comes out in this movie. It's a really cute movie, some people might find it weird just because of the age difference, but if you think about the whole situation then it should be a really cute story.

Enjoy! ^^

Athena: Goddess of War drama

Athena: Goddess of War is a new drama, it recently ended. It's pretty popular, I haven't seen it yet, but I do plan on watching it after I finish watching Mischievous Kiss (yes I'm still watching it, but I'll finish it soon). I wasn't able to find the drama on youtube (the only one I fond was in Spanish) so you guys can try this website instead:

Athena: Goddess of War (mysoju.com)

The Host movie

The Host is a movie about what happens when careless people dump dangerous liquids in the Han River (it kind of remind me of Godzilla). A monster appears from the water and starts eating people (don't worry nothing too gross)one of those people happens to be a 13-year-old girl. Her family believes she's dead, but later get a phone call from her saying she's stuck somewhere. Her family goes out looking for her, but no one wants to help them because they think they are contaminated since they had contact with the monster. My sister actually saw this movie a few years back, but I wasn't interested. Now that I've watched it I really like it, it's a good movie. Although not a comedy, but there is some humor.

Durkee In Korea

First of all I want to explain why I didn't post a 4th TTMIK Lesson. I've been having trouble with opening the lesson, so I wasn't able to get it. Sorry, if you really like TTMIK and want to continue learning visit their website, it's awesome.

talktomeinkorea.com

Ok now I want to tell you about a new vlogger I found on youtube. His name is Mike Durkee. I found his channel while I was looking at tours of apartments in Korea (since I'm interested in teaching there one day, I like knowing what to expect, plus it's fun! lol). I liked his video, I thought it was funny and since I noticed that he had quite a few videos I decided to watch a few more. I watched a few more and really liked them, so decided to subscribe.

Check out his videos on his youtube channel:

Simon and Martina's Music Monday: G.NA "Black & White"

This weeks Music Monday is G.NA's "Black & White". I thought it was a cute video, but not my favorite. And the guy was cute too.

Enjoy! ^^

"Beautiful" B2st MV

B2st new music video "Beautiful", the more i watch this video the more i like it.

My Boyfriend is a Type B movie

"My Boyfriend is a Type B" movie is about a guy with type B blood type (not the best personality) he meets a girl who is somewhat shy and like-able. I thought it was so cute how he treated how, he really showed he cared, however there were also bad moments. But a very cute movie, I loved it.

Enjoy!

Mary Stayed Out All Night drama

This week enjoy kdrama "Mary Stayed Out All Night". The guy from the movie "Baby and Me" and "You're Beautiful" comes out in it. And the girl from "My Little Bride" and "Cinderella's Sister" too. I'm not sure what the drama is about, but something having to do with a girl who doesn't know much about dating and starts dating a rocker, but she later meets an educated guy who her father wants her to marry. It's pretty popular so it must be good, so here you go! ^^

Innocent Steps movie

A while back ago I saw the movie "Innocent Steps", I really liked it. It's about a guy, Young Sae, who is a professional dancer; his rival can't handle the competition and while dancing steps on his leg. Young Sae does not want to compete again, but his manager convinces him by telling him that he's going to partner him up with a really good Chinese dancer. A lot of things happen, but I'll stop right here because I don't want to give anything away.
And the ending was so cute! I really like it, I almost cried it was so cute ^^

Songs I'm loving right now! #2

Ok so I recently bought TVXQ's new CD "Why Keep Your Head Down" and there a few good songs, but there are only a couple I'm absolutely loving (I'm not going to show "Why Keep Your Head Down" because I already said I liked it a few weeks ago). Some of these songs are a little old, for example SS501's "Love Like This" & "Please Be Nice To Me" (I actually heard these songs a while back ago, but recently I've found myself listening to them a lot lately, so they made the list! ^^) and they are not all Korean, but the majority are. Enjoy! ^^  (all credit goes to 4shared.com)

Simon and Martina's Music Monday: GD & TOP's "Baby Goodnight"

It's Tuesday again and this weeks Music Monday is GD & TOP's "Baby Goodnight". I liked Simon and Martina's review, I had a few good laughs ^^

Enjoy!

Joo "Bad Guy" MV

I have to say I really like this song, Joo's "Bad Guy". I don't like too many girl singers, but this girl is really good. Ok so just letting you know how I discovered this song. One day when I was either getting ready for school or work I decided to put music on and since there was quite a big pile of videos on my subscriptions I decided to start listening to them (before watching this video I didn't know who Joo was). So I was listening and the song was a little too slow for my taste, so at about 1:23 I decided to take it off, but something caught my eye. It was gorgeous Chan Sung from 2PM!!! (some girls say he is wearing too much makeup, I disagree, it's nothing compared to their video "I'll be back", he actually looks good) I swear he looked so HOT! so I watched the rest of the video and even though I only understood a few words and phrases, but I really felt her pain. Now this is one of my favorite songs. Joo has an amazing voice and they did a really good job with the video.

If you haven't seen the MV yet, go ahead and watch it^^

Fly Daddy Fly

This movie is about a young girl who gets abused by some guy in a music room. Her dad wants to take revenge so he meets a guy (he comes out in My Girl) who decides to train him. It's an interesting movie, I liked it ^^

Secret Garden drama

I apologize for not posting anything yesterday. I was going to, but then I got busy and forgot. Again sorry ^^

Ok so I decided to show the first episode of a new drama that I haven't even seen. This weeks drama is Secret Garden. It seems to be popular.

Watch the first episode let's see how you like it ^^

A Millionaire's FIrst Love movie

A few weeks ago I saw the movie "A Millionaire's First Love", it was a cute movie I really liked it, but like every Korean movie it was also sad.

It's about an 18 year old boy who's grandfather dies. He believes he's going to get his grandfather's money so he decides to drop out of school. To his surprise they tell him he can't get the money until he graduates from high school, but not from any high school, a high school in a small village. So he has to live over there without his car, money, etc. Being the rebellious boy he is he meets a girl who he is mean to, but she slowly starts to change him.

It's such a cute story I really like his character after he starts changing.

Watch the trailer 

(sorry I couldn't find one with English subtitles)

House of Flying Daggers

A few years ago I watched the movie “House of Flying Daggers”, but I wasn’t able to finish it since the DVD was scratched. Since I was curious on how it ended I decided to look it up on Youtube. I found it, watched it, and absolutely loved it!!

At least for me it was a beautiful love story and the soundtrack was amazing, I just had to get it.

I was trying to find the one I watched (in the original language) but I couldn’t find it. I don’t like watching dubbed movies, but this one isn’t so bad.

Enjoy! ^^

Talk To Me In Korean Lesson of the Day #2

This weeks TTMIK lesson: Level 4 Lesson 18

In Level 2 Lesson 29, we introduced how to say “more” in Korean.
더 [deo] = more
Examples:
1. 조금 더 [ jo-geum deo] = a little more
2. 더 많이 [deo ma-ni] = more + much = more
3. 더 주세요. [deo ju-se-yo.] = Give me more.
4. 더 먹고 싶어요. [deo meok-go si-peo-yo.] = I want to eat more.
And now in this lesson, let us look at how to say “the best” or “the most” in Korean.
Most (+ adjective/adverb) = 제일 [ je-il] / 가장 [ga-jang]
In English, the words “most” and “best” can be used as both adverbs and nouns. The usage that we are looking at
today is its usage only as an adverb. (When “most” works as a noun, other Korean words are used, and they will be
introduced in a future lesson.)
제일 and 가장 are almost the same thing and they can be used interchangeably. 제일 is a sino-Korean word while
가장 is a native Korean word.
Example #1
예쁘다 [ye-ppeu-da] = to be pretty
제일 예뻐요. [ je-il ye-ppeo-yo.] = (subject) is the prettiest/the most beautiful.
제일 예쁜 여자 [ je-il ye-ppeun yeo-ja] = the prettiest girl/the most beautiful girl
제일 = 가장
제일 예뻐요 = 가장 예뻐요
제일 예쁜 여자 = 가장 예쁜 여자
** 제일 is used more commonly in spoken Korean than 가장.

Example #2
좋다 [ jo-ta] = to be good
제일 좋아요. [ je-il jo-a-yo.] = (subject) is the best (most + good).
제일 좋은 것 [ je-il jo-eun geot] = the best (most + good) thing
Sample phrases
1. 이게 제일 좋아요. [i-ge je-il jo-a-yo.]
= This is the best (one).
2. 제일 가까운 역이 어디에요? [ je-il ga-kka-un yeo-gi eo-di-e-yo?]
= Where is the closest station?
3. 어떤 색깔이 가장 좋아요? [eo-tteon saek-kka-ri ga-jang jo-a-yo?]
= Which color is the best? / Which color is your favorite?
4. 제일 먼저 온 사람이 누구예요? [ je-il meon-je on sa-ra-mi nu-gu-ye-yo?]
= Who is the person that came here first?
5. 요즘 가장 인기 있는 가수는 누구예요? [yo-jeum ga-jang in-gi it-neun ga-su-neun nu-gu-ye-yo?]
= These days, who is the most popular singer?

Simon and Martina's Music Monday: Teen Top Supa Luv

Yay! It’s Tuesday again and you know what that means~ Simon and Martina’s Music Monday woohoo!!!

Ok so this weeks Music Monday song they reviewed was Teen Top’s “Supa Luv”. I’m not too familiar with these kids since I’m more in to older groups and guys (I am 21). However this song was pretty good and of course Simon and Martina were hilarious as always.

Well Enjoy! ^^

MBLAQ "Cry" and "Stay"

I’m really liking MBLAQ right now. Before, although I did like some of their songs, but they weren’t one of my favorite kpop groups. Boy has that changed in the past month! I fell in love with them with their new song “Cry”. I even bought their new CD BLAQstyle. So this week instead of one video you get two! Yay! Since they came out with two new videos and I'm just loving them now you can watch both "Cry" and "Stay".

Well that’s all for now, enjoy the MV! ^^

71: Into the Fire

Enjoy the movie 71: Into the Fire

My Princess (new korean drama)

This is a new drama that just came out, I haven't even seen it yet. You guys can enjoy! ^^ 

My Princess

71: Into the Fire

(pic from http://www.animenation.com/)

I usually go to mysoju.com to watch movies. The other day while looking for one I came across the cover of 71: Into the fire. My brother told me to click on it (since he's into history movies) we read the description and he said he wanted to watch it. At first I didn't want to watch it, but he convinced me, so we did. And since TOP (from BigBang) comes out in it and the guy from Stairway to Heaven (kdrama) I thought hey! at least I'll be able to watch them. Boy do I feel babo now! It was an awesome movie! TOP did a great job, at times I would forget that he was TOP lol. Although really good it was really sad too and it was more sad because it was based on a true story. 
Just really quickly, it's during the war between North and South Korea in 1950 and student soldiers have to defend a middle school.
I really recommend you guys watch this movie. 

♥ I might put it on, on Sunday so you guys can watch it ^^

Meliney's Nail Art

Ever since I was little I was always drawn to nails, I thought they were so pretty and cool. Recently I got the idea of doing nail art. While I was browsing youtube for tutorials I came across a video. I saw it and besides it being a cute design the girl explained it so simple, her name is Meliney. I just want to share her talent with you guys. Hope you enjoy ^^

 I've already started doing some nail designs, but I'm still missing a few tools so I haven't been able to complete many designs :( When I finish a few I'll share some pictures with you guys ♥
