Korean Dramas
A says:
like this korean drama i watched. story started out fine. then they started adding complications until everything became so convoluted and knotted up that even the complications themselves were meaningless in contributing to the story overall. then the guy at the supposed centre of all the complications decides to crash his car to kill himself, effectively killing all complications with him.
A says:
and also making the story extremely farcey and unsatisfying.
...
B says:
he should have shouted "SUCKERS" *middle finger* before crashing
A says:
HAHAHAHA
B says:
EPIC
B says:
way to break the fourth wall

Mediacorp Dramas
A says:
i find mediacorp dramas so irritating ><

bad directing, bad script, bad acting, bad characterisation.

A says:

bad plot even

i watched polo boys

PAINFUL

A says:

oh yes i heard about that too.

A says:

acs inspired drama i bet.

B says:

its basically a story about a troop of monkeys who discover a swimming pool

HAHAHA

throw in michelle chia and adrian to give it some "street cred"

and market it shamelessly as the next big thing

all that hype for nothing really

the boys they hired for the water polo team cant act
B says:
some of them cant even enunciate
B says:
they are like brawny amphibious chimpanzees
A says:
HAHAHAHHAA
A says:
it's really an ACS-inspired cheapo drama
A says:
you know how ACS' water polo team is reputed to have hot guys.
B says:
all brawn no brain?
A says:
yes XD

A says:
i want to weep when i watch ourdramas.

A says:

why do you watch mediacorp ><

A says:

okay i know you have no cable, but there's youtube and bbc? ><

B says:
for the lulz
A says:
it's quite entertaining sometimes to just poke fun at the drama
B says:
actually that's really the whole point of watching them
A says:
indeed it is xD

Sorry I just HAD to post about this video, mostly for my sake, and anyone out there who appreciates K-pop and reads my blog (i.e. nobody).



So on to the video, here we see Shinee trying to channel a DBSK (omg!ohnoes!ohf***no!). 4 out of 5 members successfully manage to do this, much to my undisguised contempt and disgust; except for...



my new favourite, who just couldn't pull off the bad boy image.

Disclaimer: the following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons or events is purely coincidental.

Evidently, SM Entertainment blew a large portion of their budget on the 3 set and costume changes, much to the chagrin of the hair stylists. This would indubitably explain the sudden plummet in terms of taste. The hair stylists have absolved themselves from all responsibility for those crazy moments in the hair dressing room, where things can get a little chaotic. You're overworked, and in a moment of madness, you are misled to think that the PCK perm/hair dyed in the colour of French toast prepared by a British man/hair styled in an aerodynamic fashion, would in some state of consciousness be a good idea. The point being, it could happen to an underpaid anybody.

Not to mention, the choreography at the chorus bit is both creepy and disturbing (not a winning combination). I know they're just trying to bring across the idea of "fan-tas-teec ea-lasteec" but, can you imagine watching that from behind? freaky.

Now, let's see what an article from allkpop has to say about Shinee's new song:

"Their title track off their upcoming album '2009, Year of Us' is called "Ring, Ding, Dong." Inspired by an African congo beat with the typical electronic touch, "Ring, Ding, Dong" is about the moment one falls in love, a ringing echoes in one's head. It seems SHINee's comeback will be a plethora of various flavors! Their comeback single will be released on various online music sites on the 14th and their comeback album will follow on the 19th. Fans should also anticipate their comeback stage on the 16th of this month on Music Bank!

With the emergence of a brand new SHINee, will their drastic change in image help bring them to the top?"

Now if only the actual song were half as eloquent as the write-up. In fact, it really isn't much of a song, but it would make for a good wake-up alarm tune.

Actually, it quite reminds me of...



I wonder why. Don't watch too carefully though, (you might see crazy frog's manhood (o.O)lolwhut).
