It's still incredible to me how I discovered Mad Soul Child - Dear, one of the most beautiful and haunting songs. I don't remember how I came across this song (I still have not watched The Man from Nowhere), but I do remember discovering Mad Soul Child - Breath from TEN OST. Breath has the same haunting tone as Dea...
I fell in love Every Single Day - Echo from I Hear Your Voice OST the summer of 2013. The new drama, Pinocchio, from the PD-Writer team of IHYV brought Every Single Day back. I am loving the new track, Every Single Day - Non-Fiction. I can hear some similarities between the two tracks. Every Single Day is a popular all-male band formed in 1997. They appear in other drama OSTs as well, such as Gap Dong and Cheongdamdong Alice.
The two songs have lovely lines in their chorus:
Echo
You come to me step by step
Deep heart,...
I am currently in love with Heartless City OST, definitely one of my all-time favorite soundtracks. Listening to the OST takes me back to the drama right away.
Kim Yong Jin (Bohemian) - Pain
Such a beautiful and captivating song.
The instrumentals are great too. My favorite instrumental: Undercover, so riveting and mesmerizing.
The Man is my second favorite and reminds me of Mr. Nobody OST. Memories of the Past and 그날밤 are also memorable.
The music director, Nam Hye Seung, is the same person who did the music...
Contemplation.
I watched this in 2 days with only 10 hours of sleep. That's how good it is.
Shi Hyun aka Paksa (Doctor's Son): an extremely memorable anti-hero
The featured image: I chose this image because that's the Shi Hyun that sticks to me the most: contemplative, jaded, a bit sad. (Unrelated: Shi Hyun's 45 degree profile is remarkable, from his eyebrows to his nose/)
These screencaps speak for themselve...
I checked out the first 2 episodes of Can We Get Married? because of the cast. The leading man is Sung Joon from White Christmas and Shut Up Flower Boy Band. I really liked Sung Joon's genius character in White Christmas and was impressed with his portrayal of the stoic character despite it being his first role ever. I haven't finished Shut Up yet but from the 4 episodes I've seen, he is also very good in there. I saw Jung So Min in Bad Guy and Playful Kiss and I think she's a very promising up-and-coming actress. I find...
I'm really looking forward to the fifth season of School, School 2013. This is mostly because dear Kim Woo Bin is going to be in it. I just watched the first teaser and I'm happy to say that this drama is looking very promising in the heart department. A high school drama is just simply not a high school drama without the right tone, sincerity, and heart. Because it is such a tumultuous time of growing up and transitioning from child to adult, a depiction of such time without any sincerity will not connect with the viewers....
I have a fixation on beautiful darkness. Okay, that was a little bit melodramatic, but it's true. I really like haunting and dark songs. Here are some songs on the top of my list.
Mad Soul Child - Dear
I conjure up images of whispering ghosts whenever I listen to this song.
Mad Soul Child - Breath (숨결)
This is a different kind of hauntingness. If Dear was eerie and ghostly, this one is just darkness in a less spooky way.
Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
This one tells a story, and it's a story of a a doomed pair of lovers.
Bjork...
