Yes, that has been my problem for 2013, a serious problem. I
have become addicted to everything about Korea this year. It started with a Korean variety
show which I accidentally watched starting May this year. I’m actually already
drafting an entry about it in my blog but it stayed as a draft entry since July!
Hahaha. It took me half a year to finally finish it. I guess I’m too busy
catching up with my Kseries, Kdrama and the list goes on.
Here is my half a year worth entry:
For the past 2 month (read: May
& June), I have been very quiet from social networking site, be it
blog, facebook, twitter and even TV! Yes, I literally quit watching TV for the
past 2 month. I even stop following my
favorite TV series (Scandal, Glee, Grey Anatomy and etc) in Astro StarWorld,
722 channels. It sound serious rite? I better not mention on how I prefer to stay
at home rather than going out during weekend. Crazy me.
But I guess my obsession has slowly faded now since I’m able
to write about it in this blog. *Peace*
I’ve been crazy watching a Korean variety show called Global
We Got Married (GWGM). Before this, I could not understand Paparil obsession
towards Running Man series (another Korean variety show). He practically trying
to watch every single episode (they have 150++ episodes!!). Luckily, GWGM only
has 15 episodes (phew!).
GWGM paired artist/idol from 2 different country to participate in a make believe marriage. Some sort like a fake marriage for them to experience a married couple life. Yes, I know. It sounds weird rite? How could I end up watching this kind of series? Hahaha. You peeps should try watching one of the episodes and u will know why :-P.
I would suggest starting from Ep1, Ep6 and Ep15.
For this season of GWGM they have 2 couples. The first
couple is the popular Kpop idol, Ok Taecyon (2pm) from Korea and Emma Wui from
Taiwan. And….my favorite couple, the one which hooked me up to this show, Lee
Hongki (FT Island) from Korea and Fujii Mina from Japan. Their chemistry
onscreen seems like watching a real couple falling in love. It warms your
heart. (Ok, that is my biased opinion :-p).
And because of this show I fall hard with Lee Hongki band,
FT Island. The band has a lot of great & catchy song. I’ve been around
YouTube rooting for their song and live performance. Hence, for the past 2
months my playlist only consist of their song (yes again, crazy me).
One of my favorite, You Are My Life by FT Island
Another one, a catchy upbeat song, I Want – FT Island
Even though FT Island is a Korean band but most of my
favorite song is their Japanese song (You are My Life, I want, Theory of
Happiness). Maybe I should start listening to Jpop or Jrock? Should I?
Ok, I should stop rambling or else I won’t be able to stop.
I hope everyone is having a good day. Selamat berbuka peeps!
End of half a year worth entry :-P.
As a conclusion, you can say that
my 2013 fill with everything Korean. Paparil and I ended up our Korean’s
obsession year with a trip to Seoul last November. I will try to find time
to share about our ‘everything last minute trip’. Bye for now. I hope we will
meet soon and not at the end of Dec 2014.
Coming soon...
