Being a fan of Korean drama and variety shows it sucks when I don't have a bucket list of new shows that I am anticipating. But then, I always find alternatives such listening to new Kpop songs and waiting for subbed episodes of the ongoing shows I am following.
Thankfully, 2015 seems productive because there are lots of upcoming shows that seems nice to look forward to. Here are my list of new Korean shows that I am looking forward to:
6. Let's Eat With My Friends
Let's Eat With My Friends Teaser
A variety spin-off of the tvN drama Let's Eat 2, Let's Eat With My Friends also brings along the pair of Yoon Dujun, who played Goo Daeyoung and Seo Hyunjin, who played Baek Soo-ji, Daeyoung's love interest in the drama. This time we are going to see them together as their real selves in a trip going to Spain. As the title describes, Yoon and Seo brought along their close friends Beast's Yang Yoseob, who also cameod in the drama and actress Park Hee-bon, Hyunjin's co-member in her past kpop group M.I.L.K.
Coming from the same PD of the drama Let's Eat 2, you can tell he couldn't leave his love for his stars, my tummy shall be in misery again with this fun "mukbang broadcast". Oh and also, I shall be inspired to go to Spain just like what I had felt when I watched Na PD's Granpa's Over Flowers: Spain Edition.
5. Reply 1988
Following the success of Reply 1997 and Reply 1994, the production team of the popular drama series will now attempt to bring us to the year 1988. The year was said to be a especially significant one for South Korea.
Honestly, I am disappointed and not that excited in the casting. But still I am giving it a chance and I am kinda anticipating the reviews. Drama addicts knows that the Reply series paved the way for most people to watch cable dramas. So who knows? maybe drama gods will do their part and make the drama a success just like its predecessors.
Reply 1988 will star Girl's Day's Hyeri, Ryu Hye Young, Go Kyung Pyo, Park Bo Gum, Ahn Jae Hong, Ryu Jun Yeol, Lee Dong Hwi and Choi Sung Won. Veterans Sung Dong Il and Lee Il Hwa, who played the parents in both Reply series will also return for a third time.
4. Oh My God
Another rom-com drama on my list is Oh My God. The drama will star So Ji Sub whom I totally adore in Master's Sun and Shin Minah whose popular for her works such as Arang and the Magistrate and My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox.
The pair is not new to public eyes for they already did a couple of clothing advertisement together in the reecent years. But still it will be fresh to see them act together in a drama. I love Shin Minah being so playful and funny and also who would even hate So Ji Sub's charm?
The drama is said to be about childhood friends who met again and happen to help improve each other's lifestyles but eventually found love in the process. Its just too bad because shipping them in real life wouldn't be as fun as before for Shin Minah is currently dating someone... ehem Kim. Woo. Bin. ehem.
3. Cheese In The Trap
This is got to be the primary reason why I ended up reading the Korean web comic where it will be based. Nowadays the drama adaptation of Cheese in the Trap is still an ongoing hype especially for those who follow the webton. It will be produced by tvN which is trustworthy enough in producing drama adaptations, a perfect example to this is the popular drama Misaeng. The production is already so promising with PD Lee Yoon Jung who is known for directing Coffee Prince.
Cheese in the Trap will star actor Park Hae Jin as Yoo Jung sunbae and actress Kim Go-eun as Hong Sul. The drama is set to air later this year.
2. The First Time
I love coming of age stories and so I'm digging this drama that will star SHINee's Minho and promising actress Park So Dam. The First Time is another upcoming cable drama that will be produced by network OnStyle.
The story will revolve around Yoon Tae-oh, a 20 year old college freshman and his changing relationship with his childhood friend Song-Yi. Tae-oh's character is described as carefree and cool while Song-Yi is described as cheerful and positive. But then the conflict will occur when a friend of Tae-oh, Seo Ji Ahn, to be played by actor/rapper Kim Minjae, also fell in love with Song-Yi
The cast looks fresh and promising. I find actress Park So Dam so pretty and authentic. Also, did I told you that I am a fan of SHINee?
1. Second Time 20 Years Old
This drama is what I have been waiting for certainly. Second Time 20 Years Old is set to air in tvN this coming August replacing Oh My Ghostess. I told you I'm a fan of tvN dramas...
Second Time 20 Years Old Teaser 1
Second Time 20 Years Old will star Choi Jiwoo whom I totally adore in Grandpas Over Flowers: Greece Edition. Luckily her character is not that far to her self so this is a guaranteed fun. Choi Ji Woo will play Ha No-Ra, a full time mother and housewife who got pregnant and married at the age of 19 hence did not got the chance to enjoy her twenties. She decides to enter the university and begin to struggle adapting to the new environment and young people around her.
The drama will also star Lee Sang Yoon as a theater professor and Ha No-Ra's first love. Choi Won-young as the husband who is also a psychology professor. Actor/Rapper Kim Minjae who I previously mentioned a while ago in The First Time, as No-Ra's son and APink's Son Naeun as his girlfriend.
Second Time 20 Years Old Teaser 2
The best thing is that all of them are going to attend the same university which will surely lead to a riot.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
I posted my review about the popular Korean webtoon Cheese in the Trap yesterday and suddenly I feel like I owe you some tips where to read the webtoon with English translations.
Having returned to college after a year long break, Hong Sul, a hardworking, over-achiever, inavertly got on the wrong side of a suspiciously perfect senior named Yoo Jung. From then on her life took a turn for the worst and Sul was almost certain it was all Yoo Jung's doing. So why is he suddenly acting so friendly a year later?
Its the downside of being a non Korean fan who doesn't know how to read Hangul. Its the same when watching Korean drama and variety shows. We need to wait for the sincere subbers and translators to do their jobs. Anyway, here are the list of sites where you can actually read Cheese in the Trap with English trans.
Line Webtoon is the official site where you could read Cheese in the Trap with not only English but Vietnamese, Spanish, French and many more languages. Translated episode is usually released every Sunday of the week. However, the English translation as of today is only in Seasson 2, Episode 59. Take note that the webtoon is in its Season 3 already.
The translation here is quiet neat and the good part is the you can actually download the Line Webtoon App that is available in Android and IOS Devices. After downloading the application, there is a feature where you can download and store the webtoon in your device for 30 days which you can read offline. So, if you're kind of a busy person and an occasional comic reader this app is the best for you. But, if you're the type to read something and finish it off in a few days span this may not be enough for you.
After reading Cheese in the Trap in the Line App I got so curious about the next pages so I researched and found out the team of Odd Squad. Odd Squad is pretty much doing their job legally because when reading the webtoon you first should go to the naver page of Cheese. That means you are giving hits to Soonkki, the artist behind Cheese.
Odd Squad is using the so called "English Translation Overlay" technique which is kind of amusing. Its like first you go directly to Cheese in the Trap's naver site which is totally in Korean and then you click on the Odd Squad's overlay technique and magic comes out, the bubble conversations are suddenly turning into English language.
The downside is that you should read the webtoon using your laptop because first you have to bookmark Odd Squad's naver translator plug-in in your search engine. Some peope found it troublesome but I suggest its best to use Google Chrome and then drag and drop Odd Squad's naver translator image in your bookmark bar and your good to go. Just click the bookmarked plug-in in every refresh and next pages of the webtoon. As of now, Odd Squad had translated Season 3, Episode 51 of the webtoon.
UPDATE: The "English Translation Overlay" doesn't work now. You should drag and drop the green star icon called Overtooning in your browsers bookmark. The image can be found in the left side of Odd Squad's website. Click the link of the CITT pages and click the Overtooning image to read the english trans.
BONUS!!!
After reading the English translation of Cheese in the Trap in Line Webtoon App and Odd Squad, you might want to check these other sites that translated the character's conversations and summarized the next Episodes for the fans who got addicted and cannot wait to read the next plot in English.
With the news of its drama adaptation, I began to be curious about the story of the popular Korean webtoon Cheese in the Trap. I love reading mangas with gorgeous and neat drawings so when I found out that there is actually a site where I can read its Chapters (it was actually called Episodes instead) in English I did not hesitated to begin my journey reading it.
Cheese in the Trap is written by artist named Soonkki. I find her funny and I totally adore how she draws the characters. The webtoon has big followers in Korea. Of course, this popularity leads the drama people to acquire its right to be adapted.
[WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS COMING!]
The story revolves around the female lead Hong Sul and her love and hate relationship with her "sunbae" (also means senior) Yoo Jung. Hong Sul's character is an ordinary returning college student in one of the top Korean universities who strives her best to be the first in her department to acquire a scholarship given by the school. She is a very sensitive girl who thinks a lot about her environment and the people around her. She's the type that always talk in her head about what not to and what to do. On the other hand, the male lead Yoo Jung is the embodiment of perfect in the university where Sul attends. He is smart, rich and seen as kind by his classmates and upper/lower classmen. But then, the story will not be an exciting one without conflicts so Yoo Jung's real character is something to be discovered by the readers.
Hong Sul is really oblivious with Yoo Jung at first because she thinks his something so mysterious and one of those people one shouldn't trust fully. There were a lot of instances where she and Yoo Jung can't seem to be a good pair for each other but then, in the latter part of their year in the university Yoo Jung started acting so close with Sul and Sul started to depend on him without her noticing. The underlying question is why did Yoo Jung suddenly got this kind of attitude of wanting to be close with Sul all of a sudden.
I really can connect with Sul's character so much because I myself is also a sensitive person. While reading her thoughts, I was always like, "Oh My Gosh, She's actually me!" That's why I didn't have the problem of reading the story despite of the slow pace. I like that the writer, Soonkki had decided to make the story occur in a college envronment because nowadays stories about highschool life and first love are seriously so mainstream that sometimes I could actually predict what would happen at the end.
Yoo Jung for me is a love me or hate me character. He is frustrating enough that sometimes I don't even know if I like him for Sul or not. But then, I love how Soonkki had drawn him. He is a "typical flower boy come on and get me character".
I also love how Soonkki dresses the characters with different styles and clothings. For example, Sul is a tomboy type so she is usually dressed with fitted jeans, chucks and sweatshirts. Yoo Jung on the other hand, dresses sophisticatedly and manly like his character. It makes me imagine them as real life persons. Also, I love how she made the title "Cheese in the Trap" because oftentimes I can see Hong Sul as a person whom always is cornered between something or someone.
The only thing that can be bothering is the first time reading it because there are a lot of past and present pacing in the story that made me somehow lost but then afterwards, I managed to understand what actually was happening to the story. Readers just need a little bit of time to be accustomed with the past and present thoughts of the characters.
Also, there are lots of over exagerrated characters and plots so beware. Nevertheless, for me its a good read and I can't wait to finish the Chapters that are still left without English translations... (the downside of a non korean webtoon reader tbh) T_T. As the webtoon is still ongoing, no one knows what will be the end of the story except Soonkki the writer herself.
For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hands are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
Then God said, Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Apink is BACK!!! Yes Apink! Or should I say Apunk!? HAHA... No, kidding aside, July 16th, 2015 they made their comeback official with the release of their summer themed mv and title song "Remember".
Wait, why am I reviewing this? As you see it's my first mv and album review and I just want to introduce myself first because I might be bias with my writing coz they are actually one of my favorite kpop groups nowadays.
When did I discover them? Hmmn.. It's started once upon a time when group member Jung Eunji starred in "Reply 1997" and I got hooked by her acting and so I researched about her and found out that she was infact part of a girlgroup. I was amazed coz she doesn't really look that girly at all during that year and so I watched her group's videos in YT and yeah replayed it multiple times.
My PANDA Self
I am not yet a fangirl of Apink those times because I only liked Eunji and the other members I cannot actually remember who's who. They were just starting back then. They actually debutted on the year 2011 and I found out about them in 2012. But then, the WGM stint happened and Son Naeun, the goddess Son Naeun.. Yeah her! made me so curious about the group and so I finally made up my mind that I am going to stan them and make her my first Kpop bias.
I also started watching their past variety and reality tv appearances like Apink News which was really a cracker maker.. Haha! You should watch that if your hesitating on following Apink. Their relationship grew on me because of that. They are actually one of those groups whom I really think have that best foundation and interaction with each other so watching them growing together just made my mother heart in a pool of happy tears T_T. I'm also one of those fans who had a chance to see and perform them live and they were so pretty.. just pretty.. soo pretty and adorable.. Fangirling mode up!
With the cute leader Chorong, Eunji the best vocal, Bomi the variety star, Naeun the queen visual, Namjoo the bias wrecker and Hayoung the growing maknae, I know and can feel it that their popularity and achievements are only just beginning and that they will come a looong long way.
Now, I should start reviewing their latest release right? keke.. I haven't forgotten ya know...
MV and Title Track Review
Remember.. remember.. reMEMber... After listening to the song multiple times, this word will haunt your day. I know coz its in my head right at this very moment.. haha.. Music wise its very APINKish for me. You know how a certain group should have a distinct sound and I think APink has a very innocent, fantasy-like, comforting sound. A lot of people are saying that all of their songs are very much alike but as I cannot deny that some parts of "Remember" has a "Luv" sound into it, I also want to fight that they are a growing group in terms of their sound and performance. My favorite part is the start of the song. Oh Hayoung definitely is the star of "Remember". I'm glad she was the one to start the song coz upon hearing her, I just wanted to let myself fall in a cold water of the sea and just play and dance there all day long. She definitely improved her voice since debut.
All in all, "Remember" is a good example of a summer song released this year. You'll definitely love it and get hooked by the song once you heared it multiple times.
The MV on the other hand, is very summery. I am glad that it was filmed in the outside. You know how many kpop groups nowadays tease you with wonderful teaser when having a comeback but then the MV will end up in a box where they would dance and have solo shots singing from time to time. I guess that's one of the benefits of coming back in the summer. Groups will have a chance to play in sand and enjoy themselves while providing fanservice.. haha.. The MV is so full of visual cuts. The styling on girls is just pretty.. They are just so pretty and I look like a dumpling.. haha.. I also felt nostalgic when I saw Apink in the field coz I remember their debut MV "I don't know". Also, that part of them playing and having fun in the room full of balloons just feels like "NoNoNo" all of a sudden.
I just felt like crying coz they look like they are going to do something so mature later this year because of this..
ALBUM REVIEW: "Pink Memory"
Hearing about them coming back with a 2nd full album made me so happy because "full album means more songs", hehe... "Pink Memory" has two different versions a "RED" and "WHITE". The different versions just have a different concept pictorials and photocards. My only concern is that the album design is not that very fancy. How I wish that Acube, their company, would improve their design concepts in the future. I read in twitter that they are calling the album "Pink Memong" instead and when I saw the album cover, I finally realized why.. haha..
The songs are very lovely. Actually, first time I heard the full album I chose "Perfume" as my favorite track, mainly because of the "Ooohh.. Alright" part of Naeun.. she just caught me off guard there..heh.. But then, other songs are growing for me from time to time so... It's so hard to choose..
The next track, ""Attracted" (끌려)" just screams Kim Namjoo with her sudden "Nan Neoege Kkeullyeo". I just wish she would feature with other artists because girl can really sing and she has a very pretty voice so Acube don't waste it.. Please?
After we got attracted we will be Dejavued... Dejavu is written by leader Park Chorong who basically always write for APink in their every release. Girl really have a writing talent.
Next is "Flower Petal" or "Fortune Telling Petal" which is a song that I recommend during rainy days. The tone just screams "couple walking in the rain".
"What a Boy Wants" in the meantime is written by member Oh Hayoung, the maknae. I really like the song despite it being loud whenever I have my earphone on. I don't know, I just like it being messy that way..
"I Do" really saved us coz we finally hear in this track the high notes of Jung Eunji. Meanwhile, APink's album cannot be complete without a ballad. "A Wonderful Love" and "Promise U" are standard APink ballad that you would want to hear whenever you wanted to soothe yourself and just wanted to feel warm inside. I'm happy that "Promise U" which was written and produced by Eunji herself is also included in the album because it didn't had much impact to the public when they released it during their anniversary this year.
The members writing lyrics for this album is just so heartwarming. I am just so happy that they are participating and taking their time to produce something that the fans would really treasure and brag about. Netizens say that APink songs are all similar but really, just take time to know more about them and I will asure you that you woud grow to like them.
To end this, I would just want to encourage all of you to hear APink's music and enjoy it with your purest hearts.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.
