Thanks to everyone who entered the Boys Before Flowers parody contest! We had a bunch of fantastic entries.
It was super difficult deciding who won, but Sevenses, saharial, and I have reached a consensus: We have selected one First Prize (owner of a brand-new OST and drama poster), one Second Prize (winner of the OST), and a whole slew of Honorable Mentions. I’ll be emailing winners shortly.
Thanks to everyone who’s sent in a parody video for the Boys Before Flowerscontest and giveaway — I’ve received some really hilarious entries so far!
But there’s still time to enter — the contest closes on Friday. Yes, we all mock the heck out of the soundtrack, but you know you want to win one anyway!
I’m technically unskilled (nowhere near the capabilities of these fan parodies, for instance), but I’ve whipped up a little something myself, below the cut. No, it’s not a video — gotta work within my limits here. As I mentioned in my last recap, I happened to have a lot of really wonderfully cheesy songs to work with…
Raise your hand if you like giveaways! And parodies. And clever fan videos. (And Kim Joon and Kim Bum.)
In response to all those Boys Before Flowers parody videos, reader saharial volunteered to put up an OST prize for our own contest for best fan-made parody video.
I thought that sounded like a lot of fun, so I’m matching her offer and putting up another OST prize. Why let Korean netizens have all the fun with their Simpsons spoofs and fake “Requiem” movie trailers?
The top two entries will win a free CD of the soundtrack.
First place will win an additional drama poster. (The OST comes with 7 photo cards and a red F4 card. The poster looks like this.)
Congratulations to giveaway winners debb, Fei, Alyssa, and docmitasha!
I’ve emailed you; if you don’t get it soon, let me know.
If you didn’t win but would like to buy the albums, you can get them from Yesasia: Volume 1 “이날, 이때, 이즈음에…” or Volume 2 “In Exchange.”
If you have any suggestions for people you’d like to see featured in the future, let me know! I probably won’t feature someone already mainstream and popular, not because I don’t like them but because I figure it’s more useful to cover people about whom information isn’t already readily available. But comments and suggestion are always welcome.
That brings a close to Dramabeans’ second giveaway. See ya next time!
First, I’d like to say that I know having lots of ads can be distracting on blogs. I’ve deliberated a lot on which ad blocks to use or not, and I’m never perfectly satisfied. But the ads are also why I’m able to give away free stuff like this, so there’s that silver lining.
Since the last free CD giveaway (and artist profile) went over pretty well — hey, what free stuff doesn’t, right? — I thought I’d continue with another great but overlooked artist, singer-songwriter Yi Sung Yol. (Also spelled Lee Seung Yeol/이승열.)
The Rules: Like last time, leave a comment with your email address so I can contact winners. I’ll give away FOUR CDs — winner gets his/her choice of CD, either Yi’s first album “이날, 이때, 이즈음에…” or his second, “In Exchange.”
Giveaway closes: A week from today, noon PST on Friday, June 20 27. I’ll close entries then and post winners later that day.
SONG OF THE DAY
Yi Sung Yol – “우리는” (Us) from the soundtrack of Que Sera Sera (reposted from an earlier post).
