OH what a busy month it had been for us both. How are we not dead yet? Well no matter how busy we were this month, we still had some korean favs! New reader? HIIIIIIII and refer to this post if you don't know how our monthly favourite works! :DVideo: Don't Hate Me - Epik High
They're back! And with a fun filled and crazy music video! Wouldn't you just wanna trash a supermarket with them? And those kids! So adorable
Song: Style - Rania
Both of us were a little late (only one month heh no biggie :P) with this but we pretty much went crazy over it when we found out about it's awesomeness. Out of all the songs by Rania, this is the best we think. The sexy in the video was also kept to a classy (, sexy, crazy, COUTURE!) level. Nicely done!
Drama: Faith
Ahhh another future to past, past to future time travelling action, fantasy, romance drama! Just like Queen In Hyun's Man but reversed! If you fancy some action, history, romance and Lee Minho like Rachee, this drama is for you!
Dance: Bad Boy - 100%
Right. So the both of us really started to like this song as well, and upon checking out the dance practice for this boy group, we found that not only did they have sharp moves, it was also precise as well. In addition to that, all group members were equally good in dancing. Whether they're at the back or at the front, they all matched each other, and none of them stood out. (which is a good thing if you want to show good team work) Groups that are churned out these days are often talked into doing dance numbers when clearly, their members are far better off singing still, belting out big notes. I don't know whether it's because they're all pretty spicy dancers, or the routine is just nice to match their capabilities, but whichever one it is, they've NO DOUBT (Cue both of us rolling on the ground laughing) done it well.
Hottie: Kris - Exo M
Naz: At first, I didn't really think anyone in Exo was all that hot. Rachel started
News: Designer Song Hye Myung reveals she was dating SS501's Park Jungmin
Oh ho ho ho another unsatisfied girl talking bad about someone after break up. Nothing more interesting than that right? Well Super Junior's Leeteuk did enlist into the army (WE MISS YOU LEADER!) but we like to keep it hot and scandalous in this section.

ANNNNNNNND another month had gone by. What is this? Where did the time go?! New category starting from this month as mentioned before here. And if you are new to us, WELCOME and refer to this to understand how this works!Video: Catch Me - TVXQ
Okay Rachee here just for a quick..speech. I don't care if they are in a box. It's a nice box. How can you not like those shards coming out from the ground they were standing on? Oooh straight lines and sharp edges....okay better not go off topic now. AND AND let's not forget that milk puddle. Come on, that's not a box anymore is it? Now that that's out, let's just say we love the use of accessories in this video. Those arm armors as we would like to call them were really quite nicely used especially during the parts where they all link arms. Woooo dragonnnnnnn pahwah!
Song: '84 the Original - Glen Check
Yes yes me again of course as you can judge from the song choice. Since the 2 songs we both love this month (Catch Me and Stop Girl) were included in different categories....I shall be selfish and take this for myself hehe. And yes again I know this song was mentioned here but the one I'm including in this category is the "original" version......so '84 was not the original one? But yes I like this version better for some reason. What do you guys think? Which one do you prefer?
*I do apologize for the tumblr's url but that is the only place I can find the audio of it.*
Drama: Reply 1997
ANNNNNND it's me again...how awksies is this. Naz hasn't been catching up on dramas cause she is being a hardworking girl. Well I stopped too okay. I started watching this during summer and then stopped when school started and ended up just reading the recaps ): But hey from the episodes I watched before I stopped, I must say the acting is not bad considering how this is Eunji's first drama AND being the main (MAN I LOVE THIS GIRL! SHE'S FEISTYY!) and also Seo Inguk's first main role. What I really love is the plot as it revolves around the lives 6 high school friends, the crazy fan culture at that time and WHO'S THE BABY'S DADDY!
Dance: Stop Girl - Ukiss
Naz here! Finally, Ukiss is out with a new song, and I have to say, I'm loving both the song and dance! The dance definitely deserves something big. Let's just give a huge round of applause to the choreographers for coming up with this genius choreo. Proves you don't need big American names behind all this to get a good outcome. The structure of it all is splendid from the beginning where Kiseop gets his limelight (oh? did I just hear Rach squeal? I think I did! Rachee: I'VE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS!) and does a full dance while other members file in after him. The addition of girl back up dancers is also a very nice change to the stage. It gives a slightly different but pleasing vibe to the whole song, and I really hope that they'll get far with this one! Already searching up covers to learn the dance! Love love love.
Hottie: Lee Min Woo
Ok, Naz again. Normally, I have to be honest with you guys here, I haven't really thought any one was hot that much since my Taemin days, but upon watching Kkok Kkok Tour as well as Shinhwa's broadcast featuring SHINee (read my post on it), I totally fell for Min Woo. Fine, he doesn't fit my height criteria, but no one's perfect right? right?!!??! (hypocrite talking here, but wtv) His smile is just NGAWWWW and he's funny too! Well, I think if I was to continue watching episodes of Shinhwa's broadcast, I would eventually fall for all of them (Eric is next on the list) Can I just say, that everyone who's reading this HAS to click this link right HERE. You'll know why once you've watched it. Loving it.

Wow another month over just like this. Where did the time go?! This would mark the 2nd month of our blog's birth! Woah that was quick! D: If you are new to this blog, welcome and remember to click those tabs at the very top to check out our monthly favourites! :DVideo: One of a Kind - G-Dragon
Another crazy video by G-Dragon. Dreadlocks, stabbing hearts, asian bears, Chanel tennis balls......this video is full of crazy stuff but hey, that is the One of a Kind G-Dragon for you!
Song: Rock Ur Body - Vixx
This rookie group is really impressing Rachel! 2 catchy title songs that got her replaying it over and over in less than 4 months. We are excited to see what this rookie group has to offer in the future!
Drama: Gentleman's Dignity/Gentleman's Class
Omg how can anyone not like this show? It is like Boys over Flower's F4 but the 30 years later version of it! Even though there is only 1 member of the main cast below the age of 25, this drama showed that even without the idol actors/actressed (Though CN Blue's Jonghyun did do a great job as a supporting character), it can still make it because it is just so damn hilarious. Definitely a must watch!
Dish: Korean Hotpot
After having hotpots nearly everyday in Korea, Rachel has decided that this shall be the dish of the month! You will never get bored of the LARGE varieties of hotpots available out there! Seafood, pheasant, mushrooms, you name it, they have a hotpot for it.
Hottie: Yoo Ah In
We totally love him! Like Nazlin said, he's got natural swag. He is slowly coming up as an actor and we cannot wait to see more of him!
News: Actor Yoo Ah In reveals he is in a relationship
And then there is this news that shattered both our dreams. Sigh we are happy for you though! We wonder who that lucky girl is!!

Before I got around to watching My Princess, I managed to get myself through Love Rain. Love Rain had made big hallyu stars like Yoona (SNSD) and Jang Geun Suk (other lame dramas) star in it, and I guess the hype was pretty up there. I admit, it was not as bad as I thought it would be, but it was down right predictable, and the ending couldn't be any more cheesy. That aside, let's get on with the rest of the drama.The first few episodes were so draggy I wanted to pull all my hair out. It was an olden day setting, telling the story of how the 2 main stars fell in love with each other. After a couple of episodes, it fast forwards to the present day, and presents the 2 main stars's kids who meet each other (played again by the 2 main stars)
Fine. It was sweet. To a certain extent. And yes. It was heartbreaking in some parts. Besides that, this drama was just an old boring one, with no excitement, twist, nothing. If pulling in big Hallyu stars was their strategy to make it big, then they've got it wrong. Before I say anything else, I must say, Yoona's acting has actually improved from her debut as an actress, and well, Jang Geun Suk's is just..mediocre. He seems to only possess 2 different kind of facial expressions. Angry/pissed and happy. That's it.
It was tormenting to watch not only because the story line was predictable, but maybe because I actually knew what was going to happen at the end. Yeah, I stumbled upon it waaayyyy before I started watching, but I wanted to see how it'd all turn out at the end. If it was worth it or not. Well..I guess not?
On to the "stare into space dream about something" Like most other korean dramas, IT WAS SO LONG. Too long in fact. I think I managed to skip almost a quarter of the whole drama, without missing any big drama. Kiss scenes were pretty intense I must say, and definitely better than watching Jessica being eaten by that old dude in "wild romance"
It was still nice to watch on a boring day, to make time pass. (If you need some excitement, this is NOT for you)
Yeah, now you know what happens in the end. Lol, I just ruined it for you. hehe
Overall Rating: 5.5/10

I'm not too sure when this drama came out, but I decided to watch it since a friend of mine gave me a copy of all the downloaded episodes. With nothing to do, paired with a huge amount of procrastination, I ended up watching the whole drama.This drama stars Kim Tae Hee (most memorable work would be in IRIS) as well as Song Seung Hun (who for me, is most memorable in "the 3 brothers" which is a family drama that aired a couple of years ago) In short, this drama depicts the life of Lee Seol (Kim Tae Hee) as she discovers that she's actually Korea's princess, and upon finding this out, she gets into some trouble here and there. Park Hae Young (Song Seung Hun) is the grandson of a big business company. He soon makes his way into Lee Seol's life unexpectedly, but only to find out later that he starts to fall for her. The story does get complicated, and thankfully not predictable as most other dramas are.
I think the best thing about this drama, is that there aren't as many of those "stare into space dream about something" kind of scenes. Of course, there's a fair bit here and there, it's a korean drama after all, but I was impressed at how minimal it was.
The chemistry between the couple is quite heartwarming, and could easily make girls squeal (well I did anyway) The only thing regarding the chemistry between the two would be that I felt as if Kim Tae Hee didn't show as much...passion? if you could call it that. Most of the time, it was Song Seung Hun that was completely immersed in the situation, and I could almost understand him . One thing I'm uncertain about would be that if Kim Tae Hee's role was suppose to be like that. Was she suppose to be clueless and not so passionate? She was after all, a girl that was suppose to be a whole lot younger than the guy. Maybe she was trying to portray the age difference, by acting differently. Nevertheless, I know she's well capable of doing so, as seen in IRIS.
The level of humour in this drama is just about right, not overdone, not too minimal, just right for a romantic comedy. And can I also add how hot Song Seung Hun is? He's one of those actors that looks alright, not extremely good looking, but once you see him acting, when he's immersed in his role, he's too cute I tell you.

| Look how concerned he looks! *applause* |
 |
| She's always so pretty =.= |
B2ST's KiKwang also stars in it, and he plays the role of the "country boy turned little chef" His role was pretty cute too if you ask me :)

It has been nearly a month since we had this blog! *sprinkles confetti* So like we said before, we will post up what we loved (or not) during the month of July with links to it/things related to it at the tabs above! Click it, click it!Video: Psy - Gangnam Style
How often do you see dancing kids, grooving horses, fat guys in sauna, explosions, disco bus, Yoo Jaesuk, Noh Hongchul, Hyuna and EHHHHHHH SEXY LADEH(s) in ONE videos? Mm, seldom. Now don't bother us while we dance to this. OP OP OP OP OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!
Song: Beast - Midnight
This song sounded better than Beautiful Night which was their title song for their latest album to be honest. Super catchy!
Drama: Big
Okay before we continue, it was Rachel's favourite, UNTIL THE LAST 2 EPISODES. This drama was really interesting and the whole body switch (that was so overdone) was done pretty well should we say. Wasn't too crazy with the fantasy side. Rachel was excited to see how the end would be but we will leave it to you to decide whether they did it well.
Dish: Japchae
Nazlin is currently fasting so I shall be the one commenting on this. I actually JUST tried this today and I totally loved it so K FOOD OF THE MONTH (maybe cause this is the only korean dish I had this month :3)
Hottie: Gong Yoo
Rachel would love to keep Simon in this category forever but she will not be so selfish. For a 33 year old man, he sure is hot. And he was so lovable in Big. Oh and ABS.
News: T-ara Controversy
OOH we were so sure Nichkhun's whole DUI case would definitely be the the news of the month but looks like the whole controversy T-ara stirred up these few days ago deserved this spot more! Oo catty!

Having watched Dream High season 1, Dream High2 seemed a little boring. The actors were alright, except the script was a little predictable. There were some favourite songs of mine in Dream High and here they are!1. Only Hope-Suzy(Miss A) (cover of Mandy Moore's)
2. Tell Me Your Wish--Suzy (Miss A), IU, Taecyeon (2PM) and Kim Soo Hyun (cover of SNSD's)
and 3. A part of this dream--Eunjung (T-ara), Taecyeon (2PM), IU, Wooyoung (2PM)
4. Waiting--IU
5.A goose's dream--EunJung (T-ara) and Suzy (Miss A)
6. Someday--IU
That's probably all my favourite songs/covers from Dream High Season 1. There were other nice ones as well, but these 6 kind of were the best ones. If you watched both seasons of Dream High, which did you like better? comment! haha no one ever comments =.=
Well, that's it for now!

Following the ending of the drama Queen In Hyun's Man, Ji Hyun Woo who plays the male lead, made a shocking love confession to the public, for Yoo In Na who played the female lead. That was what got me watching the drama, which I also instantly fell in love with, for of course, the amazing chemistry between the two.For an actor to be able to confess in public, I reckon it takes a whole lot of guts to do so considering you don't even know if the girl would feel the same way. Ji Hyun Woo did however, and the outcome turned out to be better than what was expected.
Here is the fancam of the bold confession:
And here is Yoo In Na on her radio show admitting to their relationship:
Here is some photo-spam of them simply because I have no life:
*Note: this isn't a drama review, simply just a post on how cute they are together :)

I'm not going to go into detail about each of the characters because..well, if you want to watch it, then it's pretty self explanatory once you start watching.
The drama overall has a really good plot and story line, first depicting the lives of the not so wealthy citizens of Korea, as well as the not so lucky citizens as well. It then goes on, to show the fight between the two guys. I'm not going to reveal so much just incase some of you want to watch it-which I highly recommend, for reasons to be discussed later if you do watch it.
I think this drama is the very few dramas I've watched that has a solid meaning, or you could say "lesson" behind it. It shows how a poor man and woman can become rich and successful if they put in the hard work and persevere through everything. But it also shows how that can also lead to greed and selfishness, which could possibly lead to a downfall. It actually reminds me of a shakespeare type of story. The thing that got confusing somewhere down the middle is when I wasn't sure anymore who the protagonist or the antagonist was. It was quite..confusing. But maybe that was the whole point, I wouldn't know.
Of course, with all Kdramas, there's the element of "slow-ness" in it. The first few episodes went at an acceptable speed, but by the time the problems come flooding in, they start to go in dreamland and they start staring into space, with the drama's OST blaring in the background. There were quite a few of these moments. Fortunately, I was streaming online, therefore I could fast forward a lot of the parts. I think I may have skipped whole chunks of an episode because of the ridiculous amounts of dreamland scenes.
In my opinion, excluding the usual kdrama issues, it's a really good show. Although, it didn't make me cry like most dramas do, it did make me go through all that hatred and those different emotions the characters were going through. It was displayed quite effectively.
On to the characters acting. I don't know too much about the 2 guys, but they're pretty good, and I'm guessing they're veterans in the industry already. I don't know if any of you realised but Shin Se Kyung is SHINee's JongHyun's ex gf, and before, I didn't really think much of her, but just as JongHyun's ex, but after watching the drama, can I just say she's SO PRETTY! According to Rachel, she hasn't gotten any work done, so well done to her! haha..She's also damn amazing at crying on cue. It looks like most of the crying scenes were done in one go, so they didn't like cut up some scenes and stuck them together. I'm quite impressed.
On to our Yuri. I know she's been studying acting for quite some time now, and she's never been in a drama before, and seeing as this is her debut in the acting industry, she's really good. And I'm not saying that because I'm a fan of SNSD, but I'm truly saying it's a good debut. She well and truly exceeded my expectations. I think it's also because I'm comparing her debut to the other members like Jessica and Yoona, which to be honest, wasn't that great. Jessica was still somewhat satisfactory (a part of me thinks it's also the character she was given in Wild Romance was sort of..weird anyway) Yoona however, I don't know, the first time I saw her acting was ages ago in some drama I can't remember the name of, but she was..shit. sorry.
But I guess she's improved a whole lot after seeing a couple of episodes of Love Rain. She's..improved. I say "a couple of episodes" because Love Rain's plot is really..dry. And just not exciting. It lacked originality and it was predictable as well.
It was also reported that Love Rain's ratings were the lowest ever for the history of the Monday and Tuesday drama time slots. Normally, the good shows are on Monday and Tuesdays, but this had the lowest ratings ever. Fashion king had higher viewer ratings, but it was still single digit I think.
My Overall Rating for Fashion King: 8/10

See those tabs at the top? Click it! It will show you what we are loving during the month!We might be a few days late with this but here are our favourites for the month of June. (:
Song: Electric Shock - f(x)
We love this song and have so much to say about it. Expect a review soon!
Video: Monster - Big Bang
Definitely the most interesting (or should we say borderline creepy/weird) music video of this month! How can you resist those interesting hairstyles of theirs? Besides that, video has some pretty amazing effects and visual shiz in our opinion!
Drama: Queen In-hyun's Man
Our love for this drama started when news of Jihyun Woo's confession exploded all over the internet. Watched a random part of the drama, saw the chemistry and fell in love with it. This drama has the right amount of romance, comedy, action and fantasy. Great drama, definitely recommend it!
Dish: Bibimbap
Bibimbap is cool. That's why it's part of our blog title.
Hottie: Dalmatian's Simon
Oh Simon. What else can we say? Perfect jawline, abs, blonde purple hair and that intense stare of his. Just too too hot. If we had this blog during May, he would be our hottie of the month for both May and June. Rachel loves him. A lot.
News: Yoo In-ah confirms that she is dating Ji-hyun Woo!
Favourite drama to real life couple! After the critisms he got after his public confession, we are glad that Yoo In-ah accepted him!
