요즘 즐겨듣고 있는 남자가수 노래 4곡! 여러분도 좋아하시나요?

I rarely listen to male artists, so these are 4 songs by male artists I love to listen no nowadays. Do you wanna listen?

내 이상형을 노래로 표현하면... 아마 이거일거예요 ㅋㅋㅋ 스위트하고, 따뜻하고, 남자답고 감정적인 사람...? 강강약약 그런 느낌?

크게 사랑을 표현 안해요 항상 내 뒤를 보고 계시고, 나를 지켜져야 할 때 지켜주고, 말씀을 착하고 따뜻하개 하고, 멘너있게 행동하고 책임주는 남자라면... 미안해, 얘들아, 걔는 평생 내꺼야 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

If I had to describe my type in men in songs, I think I'd pick these artists and songs. I don't like them bad boys if they aren't as loving, soft and people with actual emotions! I don't care how much street credit they have, if they well-raised, loving and caring and responsible... I think I found my husband LMAOO

Music:  

The music felt pretty unobtrusive but on closer inspection the backing music was a mix of music of the time (2001-2002) mixed with some nice instrumentals. The featured music includes: 착각의 늪 -  박고테 프로 젝트, 떠나가라 - QOQ, Please Summer! - 인디고(Indigo),  비몽 - 코요태 (KOYOTE), and 백전무패 - 클릭비 (Click-B). 

Awards: Best Young Actor (Moon Woo Jin) - KBS Drama Awards 2023

Overall: 

This drama special tells the story of Kim Yi Joon, a 14 year old boy in the summer of 2002 who is moving from Anyang to Daegu to live with his aunt and uncle. At first he seems like your standard sullen teen but as the drama special goes on you peel back the layers and find out his story. 

As you watch the drama special you feel all of the hurt and pain piling up on this young boy and it’s quite heartbreaking. Watching him go through all the hardships wrung a surprising amount of tears from me. But he is resilient and it’s a wholesome and heartwarming coming of age story of finding your place in the world. 

Moon Woo Jin has been in a lot of productions since 2017, most recently Castaway Diva and The Atypical Family but this drama special is one of his first leading roles. He won the young actor award for his performance here and it's not surprising based on his performance. It was nice to see a cast of talented young people given a chance to shine. 

As well as Min Jun’s coming of age story, we get a glimpse of classmate Han Yeo Reum’s life. She also moved to Daegu in recent years and has adjusted to life there. At first she’s an adversary but when forced to work together and secrets are shared they form a bond. Like all her classmates she too is struggling through puberty and the hot hot Daegu summer.  

Korean dramas love the backdrop of their 2002 world cup to tell a story and I liked the way this drama special incorporated it into the story. Including footage from the various games and how it highlighted that Yi Joon was much more interested in basketball than soccer! 

Overall, I thought this was a well done drama special. I enjoyed the coming of age story set in the early 2000s. If you like youth dramas such as Racket Boys or coming of age stories in general this drama special is definitely worth a watch. 

Rating: 9/10

so

i’ve recently watched Beyond evil (was very apprehensive, ‘cause k-drama+serial killers are too scary sometimes; but all of my friends kept recommending it! And I am glad they did! Was impressed!) and I distinctly remember thinking: ”phew, thanks all the gods I am so not into middle aged men and baby-faced beauties and even if their chemistry is off the charts, I am perfectly content with the ending and definitely do not need to read fics abt them or god forbid to draw any of them!”

…several amazing stories later… ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Love for love's sake - 2024, South Korea.

A masterpiece, from start to finish: the plot, the meaning, the cinematography, the music, the special effects, the acting, the setting, everything.

2024 starts with a bang, I haven't felt such intense emotions with a k-bl since "The Eighth Sense" which for me is everything.
