Beanie level: Noble idiot

YAS! Season 5 of I Can See Your Voice has begun! And what a nice surprise to see a representative from my own home country. But I have no idea if he’s good in singing, let’s see! Hur, see, hur hur 😁

IANAR spin-offs I wanna see: Santa Maria android-building process (+ side lovelines), also joined by the uncle-nephew baddies; Min-gyu and Ji-ah\’s disapproving brother trying to get along; and…

    …Ji-ah leads a busy, successful entrepreneur life while Min-gyu the house husband cooks and does house chores together with their pet robot.

But wait, IANAR, where\’s the cliché happy ending scene that everybody gathers at the mansion to celebrate his return?!!
Sighs. Ok, I guess \’slip-and-bend-over-this-is-when-you-kiss\’ 💋 is still good.

While the girls gasp at the pretty bags, all I can think of is that this brand wouldn’t sell well in my home country as “rosak” means “spoilt” or “broken” in our language. 😂😂 #dramatrivia #IANAR

Joining in the IANAR spam squad 😀 I just love how the female characters take the lead in their own ways. Ji-ah, her sassy friend, Pi-unni, Ji-ah’s sister-in-law, Ri-el and even little Dong-hyun!

Min-gyu is right when he says that happiness is when you have completed what needs to be done for the day and having someone you love by your side. :\’) #hugsnearestpillow #itsok #ihavemyself ❤️ #IANAR

Yay! Now I can add IANAR among the handful of dramas I’ve watched till the end! Here’re my fav moments in EP15, including the couple kiss 😆 (You’re reaaaally hungry, weren’t you, Min-gyu?) 😂😂

Oh dear. I just can\’t. That title track, Shinin\’… that MV… that line \’Always be with you\’? So much layers of irony after watching :\’/ Couldn\’t hold in the tears, sighs.

And then it reminds me of another breathtaking song — Lee Hi\’s Breathe (한숨) which was written by Jonghyun :\’/ Trying to stay calm because they have just released his posthumous album. 숨 쉬어~ *breathes*

    O don’t know if I’m ready tovlisten to his new songs.

      I’d say, take your time to prepare anything you need. Tissue, water, pillow, even a friend or someone who you can rant/talk to about it. (My cousin was super kind to listen to me.) And then, all that’s left is just appreciating how beautiful and shining this poet-artist is, who left us with lovely songs and memories :’)

      Also, annyeong @soojungah! Pleased to meet someone with a similar ID 🙂

        Hahaha. Annyeong! Soojung is the Korean name my host gave me when I stayed in Seoul last time. She said because my eyes looks like crystal lol. 😅😅

          That sounds so sweet 🙂 Mine was because it’s easier to say su-jeong (soo-jung) than keu-ri-seu-tal (my name IRL) so I go by that now, when I meet Korean speaking friends.

Just saw Pentagon’s Hui beautifully sang a part of Park Hyo-shin’s Breath (숨), so I had to replay this song (together w/ Wildflower 야생화) cos’ his vocals are magic and so are the songs ❤️❤️ :’)

Doing cartwheels cos’ I found a J-drama similar to Because This Life is Our First and the couple chemistry matches that of Se-hee and Ji-ho. #leeminkistillthebesttho Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu

    Love NigeHaji! The set-up is similar but the story and character trajectories are very different. Enjoy watching! Aragaki Yui is the cutest.

      Yeah, I think Lee Min-ki is far more eccentric than the main guy here, and the heroine needed this contract relationship more than he does in this Japanese version. Plus, something random but worth mentioning are the extra scenes a la news report. They’re a nice touch. 3 episodes in, enjoying it!

    And the dancing at the end of every so is YES.

      IKR! Apparently the “koi dance” got popular in Japan. Was impressed that Hoshino Gen is an actual singer when I googled his name. Now looking up his other dramas to watch, ahaha.

    Finally finished all 11 episodes! And omg, they’re such a kawaii couple, Mikuri and Hiramasa. Especially when they each discover how kawaii the other person is. The love triangle isn’t as strong as I hoped it was, but in the end it was for the better. It’s a Japanese slice of life rom-com, not a Korean one. And the extra scenes disguised as variety shows are so…so extra, haha, but I really don’t mind 🙂 #nigehajilove #tuesdayhugcouple

Also, waking up to the news that Infinite took 1st place on Show Champion made me a happy Inspirit :\’) Took a while for Tell Me to grow on me, but hey, stellar performances as always! #jjangdongwoo

I’m a sucker for ‘Behind The Scene/ Making of’ footages and to my delight, they showed Woo-gong couple doing the backhug~ *squees* Plus, LSG looks smoll beside CSW.

      It’s not every day that one gets to stab a bull demon aka Cha Seung Won, so a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do LOL

Pleasantly surprised with Joseon Beauty Pageant’s musical numbers that blend pansori with contemporary music. Turns out this actor is also a pansori singer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMbyfaJYpDM

KBS1 aired musical drama ‘Joseon Beauty Pageant’ ft. a male lead (Pentagon’s Yeo One!) crossdressing to join the pageant + Kim Na-ni, the pansori singer as female lead. So fresh I’m watching w/o subs~

Whoa, this actor looks like a cross between Hong Kong actors, Simon Yam and the late Leslie Cheung! (Or is it just me…🤔🤔) Is he the key to the mystery of our zombie girl’s death? #hwayugi

    I can see the resemblance now that you’ve pointed it out.

    The actor’s name is Song Jong-ho. I wish we could see him in more shows. I dropped Hwayugi, but I remembered seeing him on the cast list.

HYG and it\’s perfectly timed jump scares. Note to self: Never watch it while having a hot soupy meal. Almost scalded my tongue and I had to swear the C-word multiple times to recover from the scare :/

      There aren’t a lot of Korean speakers here where I live, so many times I use the Korean F-word, ssi ***, which ‘ssi’ just conveniently romanised into C…haha.

Can\’t decide if I should watch JBL first, followed by IANAR for this week\’s episodes or vice versa, so that my heart doesn\’t suffer that much. Does the phrase \”no pain, no gain\” apply here? #dramawoes

I know he’s not the main lead, but this boy is awesome and Han-joon as a character has more layers compared to Eui-hyun (though I’m surviving on morsels of affectionate moments from EH) #NothingToLose
