Daesung in Japan!
Daesung AKA D-Lite, is making his solo appearance in Japan!!!!! His album goes on Sale on February 27th, 2013!!! The song in this music video is called: Pairs of Ballads Sung... No Ballads Sung in Pairs... Okay, I'm not sure what it's called but it's something about ballads sung in pairs. Sort of. This is only the short version of this song, Japanese Music Companies kind of have an issue with releasing full length music videos but that's alright. Ballads fit Daesung's voice very nicely. He's got a nice soothing sound to him so I'm not surprised that his first solo was a ballad. It sounds great, please enjoy it.
Heaven's Door by Eric Nam nom-nom-nom-nom-nom....
So This MV came out almost two weeks ago, but I only found it five days ago. I would have posted it sooner but I was busy with school work and regular work. Eric Nam is a 24 year-old, 26 year-old in Korea, Korean-American who has been doing covers on YouTube for a while now; most of them in English. I first saw his cover of Jason Mraz's "I Won't Give Up" about seven months ago, and while I thought his voice was pretty, I din't really think anything of it, though it didn't stop me from watching all of his other covers. Seriously, go check them out, he's really good. I then saw this video come out on Loenent's YouTube Page near two weeks ago and I tend to ignore the solo artists unless I recognize the name or if they are featuring someone I like (terrible habit, I know). I didn't listen to it even though I knew his name. Then five days ago, YouTube told me I should watch it, and I decided to do just that. Wow, so sad I didn't listen to it sooner.
Such a pretty song, I really like his voice, and he's nice to look at which is always a much welcome bonus ;). Heaven's Door is the song in his Music Video and one of the songs on his First Mini Album Cloud 9. This album came out on January 23rd, 2013 and contains five tracks. Check it out, or at the very least watch his music video. I've never wanted to be in a place with very cold temperatures and lots of snow in my life, but I really want to right now. I'm not a huge fan of the snow and everything that comes with it, the wet, the cold, the snow, but I really want to play in it now. Something about that campfire, the marshmallows, scarves, gloves, that huge dog, and the comforting feeling of it makes me super jealous of him; if I had that to look forward to after a day in the snow, I'd be perfectly content. Of course I wouldn't complain if he was thrown into that list. :D Great job Eric Nam, way to debut in the KPop world, you seriously deserve it. And way to make every fangirl be jealous of a dog and snow. I'm looking forward to the other songs you release. Two thumbs way up!!! I really want to visit Heaven. :)

Flower Boy Next Door Half Way Mark
We have now had eight of the sixteen episodes of Flower Boy Next Door and here's what's going on so far and a few character insights.
I'm really surprised, and impressed, by how much depth and heart this drama has to give us. When I first heard about the drama and read summaries, I was excited but I thought it would be nothing more than a funny, pretty, easy, light-hearted drama. I was so wrong, and that makes me really happy. The drama is fun, and light-hearted in spots, also very pretty ;), and super funny, but we get a lot of character development which I love! I'm super emotionally invested in this drama. It's toying with my emotions and making me laugh out loud, and feel deep pain. If any of you know me, you know I don't cry during dramas, King 2 Hearts and You're Beautiful were the two exceptions. This drama might get me though. I'm hurting so deeply for Enrique's and Go Dok Mi's characters. I want them to be happy, I want it so bad it makes me super sad!! Nice job Drama, way to keep me hooked cause each week, I'm begging for more. So much pain, it hurts so good. :( I love this!
Go Dok Mi's character has come a long way over the first eight episodes. You don't really realize just how much she grows because the process was slow. We see her carefully breaking out of her shell. She went from rarely leaving her house and talking to no one, to venturing outside more often, saying more than a couple words when spoken to, she even has outbursts once in a while. She still has a lot of room to grow which is good because we have eight episodes left. She smiles more often, Park Shin Hye has a beautiful smile so this is a good thing.
Enrique Geum's character has also grown a lot. Usually, Enrique doesn't care what other people think about him and uses his smiles and personality to ageyo himself into a lot of things but lately he's grown up a bit. Hiding his worries and pain beneath a carefree happy-go-lucky mask, we see his armor start to crack around Go Dok Mi. He care a little more, he wants her to be happy, but also wants himself to be happy. Be Happy Enrique!!! I really like the wide range of facial expressions he gives us.
What I love about these two characters is that romance isn't bringing them together, understanding and empathy are the key factors in their relationship. Go Dok Mi can see when Enrique is hurting but trying not to show it, and he can see that she is a deep person with more than meets the eye. Romance will probably come later but I think that the relationship they're building right now is a little more important.
Oh Jin Rak's character is hilariously geeky and unfortunately doesn't have a chance against Enrique. I don't think he would even have a chance if Enrique wasn't there. Dok Mi needed someone to shake up her world and Jin Rak has only been watching from the sidelines, trying to keep her in her comfortable little home. He's a good guy, but he isn't the sort of person Dok Mi needs. She needs to be made uncomfortable and that is exactly what Enrique is doing. Jin Rak also has some sort of background that he's trying to hide, I'm going to guess either Chaebol runaway, or a former gang member. Yep. Those are my two guesses. :D
I don't really care about the other characters, I know they're important, but right now I'm very invested in these three so the rest are just on the side, nice to look at... :) I will say a couple things however. Tae Joon, Enrique's older cousin, doesn't do a whole lot, he's like a nice chair that you can't sit on; pretty to look at, surely it wasn't created for nothing, but other than being nice to look at not really useful... Seo Young is also a nice piece of furniture, but you can sit on this one, most of the time. She isn't super useful, she pushes some aspects of the plot along, but mostly she's just there to look pretty.

Kyuie's Birth, Happiest Day!!
Would you guys like to talk about perfection? Would you like to talk about completion? Would you like to talk about a hypnotizing gift? Would you like to talk about the end of the world? Would you like to talk about a never ending love? How about gorgeousness? Talent? Hilariousness? Evil in the cutest way possible?
Then let's talk about Cho Kyuhyun.
This is my favorite boy. Super Junior was not complete until the arrival of the new Maknae in 2006. Haha, those boys didn't know what they were getting into when they welcomed the innocent looking lad into their group. But he sure made his name quickly. His vocals are a gift and I am so glad he didn't become a lawyer. He tortures his hyung's, but loves them to death. I love it when he laughs, you can feel the happiness (mixed with slyness) radiating from him!! Even through the computer screen!! You never know where he'll strike next, but it is the funnest adventure to figure out his plans. I love that he loves Starcraft, I'd play with him any day. My eyes never leave his being in every music video, talk show, interview and stage performance. You want a heart melt? Listen to him sing!!! It is so powerful.
Kyuie, Oppa, Evil Maknae,
I love you more than words can express.
Thank you for you.
Freaking
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

KPop Challenge Day 24
Kpop Challenge Day 24:
KPop Idol You'd Like to Have as a Friend:
Key... I think Key would be an awesome friend. Or maybe I just want him as a shopping buddy cause I don't know a thing about fashion and he has fantastic taste... No, he'd be a cool friend to have.

Lee Hong Ki. Don't you just feel like he would take care of you and love you and want to know how you were for reals? He would be so fun to be with! Laughing and "aww, kyupta!!" would be an every second thing. That's what I want in a friend. Plus, if we were friends, I could play with his hair all I want ;)
Happy Birthday P.O!
Block B's P.O is having a birthday today. P.O is the youngest member of Block B, though he is one of the tallest and certainly doesn't look like the Maknae compared to some of the other members, but four of the seven members are all the same age so Maknae is just a formality in this group. P.O turns 20 today. He is one of the rappers of Block B. Happy Birthday P.O!!!!!
