The first few seconds are giving me the chills everytime. I loved the drama so much, sadly it lost a bit of its magic in the second season.

Hahaha, I haven't seen this drama, but I did see the magazine photoshoot for it. I have to say it looked super intense and left little to the imagination

It was. It was intense, but very interesting to watch how much you can lose yourself in a world of lies. 

About Fairy, I pretty much watch the drama or scenes of it at least once a year. It such a nice, light watch with so much magic happening. It was also the start of my drama-watching career, so I have a special connection to it. 

My OST choice for today is from a drama that I absolutely love, but many haven't seen due to the fact that they're a mother and would have a hard time watching it: Mother This drama really is not a easy watch, it pressures your heartstrings to its limits. There won't be a single second during the drama where you will sit comfy on your seat. But at the same time, no drama will put you through such an emotional rollercoaster. 

The OST is so beautiful, since it manages to point out exactly the kind of love someone has towards their mother. It's so soft and beautiful. 

Also not to forget, one of,my favorite dramas has a very famous OST aswell. I guess this one will have a lot more people who know and love it. It just always brings you into a good, light mood. 

Weighlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo had such a great OST aswell.

I put this on the Piano playlist for my early morning train commute

If we talk about piano, I also have something that might sound familiar to you and which I know you do like aswell. It's a drama that, besides having THE worst drama poster,  is a movie-like drama that is a bit hard to watch and needs attention. Secret Love Affair.

Since the piano plays a major part in this drama, as well as the piano piece "Schuberts Fantasie" , it's no surprise that a lot of OST are played on the piano aswell.

But do you remember how well every scene was accompanied by piano sounds and what kind of feeling the OST brought to the viewer? 

I am sure, a lot of people here haven't watched the drama and probably don't know what it's about (although the title might give it away), but the mood of the OST alone gives you a pretty good idea how heavy and atmospheric the drama is.

I would pick Rachael Yamagata's songs for many kdramas haha...and she sounded oh so good LIVE. I had the chance in this lifetime to go for her beautiful concert years ago and took a photo with her after it. 

No way!! You lucky one! I can only imagine how beautiful her voice must be live. There really are some musicians you need to hear live only once. 

Ahhh, OST. Nice. Finally something I can really contribute something. 

@SilverMoonTeaThe Signal OST is one of my favorites aswell, especially when the song plays in the last minutes of the drama I had goosebumps like crazy. 

Another drama I absolutely loved the OST was 'One Night Spring', fantastic songs, beautiful ballads.

The drama itself was so beautiful, but the music was so well chosen in every scene, that it created a really beautiful watching experience. 

Going to add more and more of all of my OST.

Round 9 I guess. Never change.

@Dhakra helllooo!!  welcome to this event. Glad you decided to join :) Hmmm... I couldn't actually see your chosen pic but I'm guessing your Choi Seo Yoon is turning right??? 

What the......yeah, she was turning right. I changed the picture. It seemed to bug a bit. 

Well, well, here we go for the new round. Round 8

Seems like sleeping cost me Round 7 :D 

So now I need to choose a direction?

Alrighty lets go with this one. 

@abs-oluteMAlright then. Time to make a choice. 

Hoping I am doing everything correct. 

I choose Park Se-Young as Choi Soo-Yeon from the 2017 SBS Drama Whisper. Why?  Because she is as beautiful as cold aswell. Playing dirty, doing really bad stuff while still being very loyal and lovely to the people she loves. 

Left & Right
 

Never a good sign if germany or german media pops up in korea. We really have some dumb people here. Sigh.

But well, currently watching soccer and eating cake, so my day is fantastic so far.

Do anyone ever have those moment in feels where you just dig up old OSTs from kdramas that are ballads and just sit there listening to them and embracing all the feels and emotions? LOL

Currently goin though Descendants of the Sun OST..again...hahahaha

Bro, a large chunk of my usual spotify playlist is about cheesy ballads of KDramas.  

One Spring Night had such a great OST aswell, Fairy ofc also so many songs. Davichi did so many OSTs aswell.

You are still welcome to play. You've missed the first 2 rounds, but there are still plenty of more rounds before the game finishes on Monday!

Oh my you really have a fast pace here. Seems like I missed six rounds by now.  I guess I participate in the next event.

@Dhakra your girl is  here. Got quite a sassy character

This  is subbed

 

Gosh, it's so good to see her. Based on experience every drama she starts with a confession or somehow relationship is a good one. So I don't mind her marrying proposal. I do like her sassy character, it fits her. 

The drama looks very interesting aswell, can't wait to see it!

Btw that gif cr to @Dhakra haha, found it on google... hey yaa.. come play with us... lols

Wait what? You found my gif on google?  That's too funny. 

Edit: Looks like I'm way too late to play, sigh. Too bad, I would be a great villain. 

I'm surprised @abs-oluteM didn't choose Shi Ho as the ultimate villain.

Happy birthday in advance! Mouse is a good high profile drama and its crime . Think it should be a pretty meaty role for her. Do check out the drama thread.

Doesn't wish someone happy birthday in advance lead to bad luck or is that only a german saying?  

I hope, I am into a good, meaty crime drama with an interesting story. I think the last good crime drama I watched was Children of Nobody? I will check out the thread once I begin watching, like always.

yes, touch wood ...so far so good. My sections at least. I appreciate being able to spend more time posting and fangirling then fighting fire over fan or ship wars.  Aren't you watching any dramas?

Currently I am just watching a sweet little animated show called Star Wars: Lower Decks. So funny. 

But besides that I don't, but exactly at my birthday next week 'Mouse' will start to air. A little KSJ at my birthday? I appreciate that.

Hmm ...no heated discussions. Most folks on our  threads don't get upset. We're now thinking how to make money with our new members shop and bank system

Haha, I know. I meant more like amount of messages than the content. Members shop? Bank System? What did I miss?

...

Okay I read about it. Seems nice. -3165 Points for 5 Warning Points. To be fair, if someone is able to acquire so many Warning Points, he should be granted an anti-title. I also hope Points are able to go into negative. 

I wonder if you ever really had to hand out more than one Warning Point to someone. It all looks so peaceful here. 

After all, it's a haven, not a pirate bay here!

Although I wish I could be a pirate.....

Hey ya, what did I miss?

Seems like some heated drama discussions going on here?

@abs-oluteM I just asked a friend. She would pay additional S$100 a month to have a prime parking lot nearest to the lobby in her apartment block 😂 Not sure if this pricing is sustainable for the app.

Me too. This was the only reason I sold my car a few years back. Parking in a city is a nightmare.

Think that's the problem with exercise etc. Definitely hard to stay motivated. But think of your health  - though you're much younger than me , you're not that young any more . 

Wh-How-Did you just.....

?

How dare you noona!

I'm a youthful spring of youthfulness!

It's not motivation, I am burning for the day the gym is opening up again. I have so much energy, can't wait to let it all out again and stress those muscles, but at home I can't focus and outside it's just uncomfy. 

4 hours ago, abs-oluteM said:

 

@Dhakra do you still work out a lot? I remember you use to hit the gym often.

In theory I do or rather would love to. I was in actual good shape last year but due to covid our gyms had to close last November and haven't reopened since then. They won't open for at least another month aswell. Maybe in early summer there is a chance. 

But yeah, almost 4 months now since I haven't worked out and pretty much all progress is gone. 

I eat kinda unhealthy aswell right now, so that's doing the rest.

I tried working out at home or go for a run, but that's not my jam. Running around with no purpose feels so weird.

What did everyone do for their Valentine's Day?

Mine is just like any other day - house chores, sleep and cooking.

Nothing special. Same day as usual. Cooking, playing games and watching videos. Okay, technically it's 11am here, but I know my day won't include anything special.

my plans this weekend is just staying inside. i mean i thought it was cold but apparently it's gonnA BE REALLY COLD. and it's already been 20 below this week.  

Heeey, welcome to the club! Glad I am not the only one with freezing cold temperatures. It got a bit warmer here, cozy -2°C, but last week we also had temperatures of -20°C during the night.

Your last line cracked me up.  I definitely know which RV idol you’re talking about . 
-////-

I will never forget this "kiss". So glad we had the other couple back then. As cute as Joy was, her "acting" and character was so one-dimensional and boring. Sigh.....

So that's it for me, Red Velvet checked.

I hv not seen Irene  act before. And I know netizens may not be very forgiving.  It does look like a cute movie . Plus I hv other reasons to check out the movie . The male lead is a former athlete, whose got a great physique. 

Careful with the word "act". There are very, very few idols who can actually act. I noticed though that most idol actors get kinda good after their idol career, when they actually learn the craft. Take Nana for instance.

It depends. Given the fact that the stylist actually received threats and needed to take legal action, it seems that some netizens have a very blurry sight about some stuff.

I think ppl forgive pretty girl quickly @abs-oluteM, but compare to other scandal this one is a bit mild. And I think she admitted it quickly too.

I agree.

@TRaNz @Dhakra surprised they are still going to air her movie given the controversy. 

Anyway I am posting the trailer cause I saw the burgers and thought immediately of you @TRaNz 

Double Patty  airs next week in SK

 

Is there any new controversy or is it still about her being harsh and verbally abusing a stylist? It doesn't surprise me at all that they still air her movie. After all she is a member of Red Velvet and given that some time has passed since last year, people, or rather fans, forget stuff like that rather easy. 

For the movie itself, you know my idol policy when it comes to dramas/movies. 

And one drama/movie including a RV Member is enough for one lifetime. 

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR 

Hey ya! Hope all of you doing good. 

Snow e v e r y w h e r e! Last night it was -20°C here. So freezing cold. Even during the day it's -10°C.

We were talking about how quick people are to attack others online when they dislike the contents someone puts out (even though there are disclaimers). 

Oh boy, I could write a book about it. Since I'm quite active in the Kpop scene and always a bit loose on my tongue and like to state my opinions, especially if I don't like something from a group I do stan, I was the target of attacks quite often. People are so quick on attacking others and will do the most ridicilous things if necessary to underline their own opinion. So many Kpop Fans live in their own little bubble. Some people even prepared a letter to sent to the CEO of Majesty Entertainment so complaint about me, because I sold something or stated that one of their recent comebacks was bad packaging, paper thin Photocards and the song was quite meh. 

Bad for them that I actually talked to the CEO quite often, since we are both mid-30s guys and he is aware that some people are really dedicated to defend everything in their path if it threatens their own opinion or the music they think they like. 

He pretty much shut them down before they even finished writing it. We talked, mostly about Starcraft (Korean guys ) and everything was gucci.

I have plenty of examples like this, people, especially within a Fandom, who know they have support from people with similiar minds, go insane and attack right away. 

My best friend once got attacked because she was selling something from a group and ppl found it disrespectful to the artists, so people called her out and attacked her.  

Hey everyone. Did I miss something important?

It is a great life! Truth is this pandemic is likely the reason I am able to. Am not the only one. Besides @mademoiselle ,  @ktcjdrama watches as many or maybe even more

Well I think even during work-times you always managed to find time, even during work, to watch dramas.
