OSTs that perfectly represent the Kdrama

Through the Darkness (2022) I recently finished watching Through the Darkness a kdrama about the first criminal profiler in South Korea Kwon Il Yong. It was a slow burn of a show and I imagine that if you are from South Korea it would really hit hard. Kim Nam Gil takes the lead role as the empathetic and intuitive Kwon II Yong.

Lullaby by The Nerd Connection provided the perfect accompaniment to the painstaking and painful mind hunter work of the main characters. The guitar provides a clear sense of time moving relentlessly forward, appropriate for a series which spans the years from the establishment to the acceptance and consolidation of unit as a key part of the institutional structure of the South Korean police force.

Strangers from Hell (2019) Creepy and utterly addictive, Strangers from Hell stares into the abyss and the abyss swallows us whole. I've written about the Hannibal parallels in the relationship between the two lead characters before but, just to reiterate, the sizzling chemistry between Yim Siwan and Lee Dong Wook is difficult to turn away from even in the most tense and gory moments.

The Rose's Strangers is a taut, grinding rock song which perfectly embodies the claustrophobic feel of the show. The backing vocals whispered behind the agonized voice of the lead singer communicate the persistence of the devil to influence while the lyrics emphasize the sensation of being trapped, slowly asphyxiated and wholly corrupted by evil.

Our Blues (2022) Our Blues wasn't everybody's cup of tea but, this drama, highlighting the struggles and small triumphs of different members of a close knit fishing community on Jeju Island kept me hooked until the end. It, along with Secret Garden, Something in the Rain, Run On, and The Island, are the reason that Jeju will definitely be part of the itinerary for my dream trip to South Korea.

With You sung by Jimin and Ha Sung Woon will forever be associated with Min Seon A's emotional journey. She loves her child deeply but cannot care for him because she is literally drowning in her sorrows. Her journey to self acceptance, recovery and healing, aided by Lee Byung Hun's character Lee Dong Seok, is determined and poignant and is perfectly reflected in the lyrics of the song, "I promise I'll never leave your love. My heart is beating 'cause of you"

Good to see Nerd Connection back with a new album and attached single, "Losing Myself". They're still blending '90's and '00's modern rock into their sound, but it's sounding much more natural and engaging now.

Top 7 Kpop MVs: It’s A Band Thing

Don’t get me wrong, I love the music and high energy choreo of Kpop groups! But, there’s just something about songs crafted from, and performed with, instruments that tugs on my soul. When I heard this week’s new drop from Lucy band (along with my local adventures to see the American swing band, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies play live!), I knew EXACTLY what I was going to write about today! Don’t miss…

I love how Epic is a story about how sometimes, you change in ways you can't undo. Sometimes it's a choice, and sometimes it's something that happens to you; often, it's both. And in some ways, you may be made worse. You may make mistakes. You may become someone you don't recognize, and you may not like who you now see in the mirror. You might lose your old self in the process of surviving.

But when you do, the people who love you will still be there. Not because of who you used to be, or how you might heal or become better, or out of ignorance of who you now are. Just because they love you, and you do not need to be perfect to be loved. You just need to be there.

And they'll be waiting for you.

anyone wanna talk about how irving had 23 stab wounds in him after hickey killed him. 23 stab wounds, as in the same number of stab wounds in the corpse of julius caesar. the coup staged by cassius, who was fueled by malice and ambition, and led by brutus, who was fueled by a righteous hope for a better rome. how hickey watched the carnivale fire, and found he was the only one who could save the men dying inside. the attempt from command to bring joy to the men Literally burnt down in front of him. he lost all faith in their ability and decided himself a saviour. how he's fueled in equal parts, within his delusioned mind, by righteousness and ambition. he wants the men to survive—if only to validate his own attempts to save them—but he also wants the status of leading them. something about fitzjames describing himself in his story as "caesar crossing the rubicon." something about carnivale being emblematic of the great fire of rome. something about fitzjames watching his carnival burn down while dressed as a roman emperor. something about the great fire of rome happening under nero, not julius caesar. something about hickey wearing fitzjames' boots after looting his corpse. something about hubris and spectacle and trying to be someone you're not

I like to think they infodump to each other (this is what love looks like)

[groovetrill]

It's time to think about what's next

Get ready for the new step

Wait, did life just hit the brakes?

Or is the gear in reverse?

Why am I going back?

Wow, my head is turning dark

My heart is starting to beat

Fast like a drummer hitting his drum

As the sweat rolls down my nose

And both my lips

Tremble like a honeybee

Looking for a flower, but you know

I'm talking nonsense

Hey, excuse me, I'm losing myself
