Ojakgyo Brother

Hello,
So today post is related to k-drama. Ojakgyo Brother that are currently airing in KBSW and KBS. This drama have been on air for a couple of months, the reasons that I'm watching this drama was because After School U-ie are one of the main actress in this family drama.

It is widely known in the k-entertainmnet that KBS produce one of the best weekend family drama there is. The first family drama that was able to grab my attention was My too perfect sons (Son of soul family). I just love the drama because it was different from you heavy weekdays drama that i have been constantly expose too. The recipe for weekend drama (from what I know) is that they tried not to bring too many emotion at one episode or time, its a light drama that can be easily digest by everyone rather rather than being sucked in too quickly to the story.

Ojakgyo brother have the very recipe of a good weekend drama, the story is light with not too much of a dramatic incident, there are a few cute moment of love line in it and no bad character that we love to hate. The story manage to suck everyone in it with its slow and steady paste.

I'm not gonna elaborate more on the story because you can just google it up. For those who are new or have never watch the drama, I highly suggest it, for your own pleasure viewing. Here are some important link that you need to know when you want to watch the drama.

One of my favorite OST in the drama:

Orange Caramel

Orange Caramel, something that is sweet and at the same time have a tangy feel to it. That was the idea from the President of Pledis Entertainment when he decide to name the first ever After School sub-unit. Orange Caramel consist of three member from After School: Raina (the leader), Nana (the face), Lizzy (the maknae).

The concept of Orange Caramel is something that is new to the K-pop scene, where the lyrics of their song would make people curls up their finger and toes (When I first heard their song that was my first reaction and so does other people too) people were skeptical about their concept but Orange Caramel have proof them wrong by giving out great performance and be able to be a hit among the nation.

With their unique concept, people have been praising them for being able to pull it off. Some even said that they were the first one to bring up the concept and it is uniquely just for them. When people said Orange Caramel people would immediately know who they are and what kind of concept they  have. They are not your average k-pop girl group who would have a different concept in each comeback, but every time they made a comeback they still manage to surprise the audience with their cute dance move, addictive lyrics and a little over the top costume, but they that what I love the most about Orange Caramel, they are unique and in my opinion irreplaceable.

After School

Hello, before continuing on the entry I would like to warn you that this post is about K-pop. So bare with me for those who dare to read it.

For those of you who have known me must know that I'm a HUGE fan of After School. After School is a South Korea girl group that was form in 2009 by Pledis Entertainment (one of the most beloved entertainment there are [in my opinion]). When they first debut they tried to have a concept that is similar to the Pussycat Dolls, and thus bringing in the image of sexy, fierce and powerful women on the stage. I was attracted to the group because of the concept itself and I know its not easy to bring that image to the scene where all of the nation prefer something that is cute. When I saw their performance, I was hooked. They have the image of a powerful women and at the same bringing out time the sexy flare within them. They were like my wonder women, for me they hold the image of what every women wants, to be someone who is powerful, have control over your own decision and know that you are worth all the trouble. From that moment on, I have been idolizing them and setting them as my role-model.

They debut with the single "AH!" with 5 member: Kahi, JungAh, Soyoung, Juyeon and Bekah. This is the 1st generation of After School. With the concept of enrolling and graduating, members of After School can easily decide to withdraw from the group if they have found a suitable path for them to go on. They debut on the 15 of January 2009 where there single has been release.

On that same year April 9th, After School release their 2nd single call "Diva". With the new single they have also in-cooperated a new member into their line-up of 5 members, making it 6. U-ie joins the group proving that After School is the only idol group in Korea who have the unique systems of admission and graduation.

October 29th, After School 1st generation member Soyoung decided to withdrew from the group to take up her passion in acting. When the news broke out, there are rumors of 2 new admission to the group. Raina and Nana join the group on the 25th November together with After School third single "Because of you". After School achieve new height with this new single were they have won mutizen award for it.

After School made their comeback on March together with yet another new member, Lizzy. The new single called "Bang". The concept of the album have been greatly influence by the movie Drumline. After School made a buzz in the K-pop scene where all of the member have been practicing drum for 5 months for this comeback.

April 29 marks the release of After School 1st full-length album called Virgin together with a new comer to the group E-Young. "Shampoo" is the promotional song for the album where as "Let's step up" is the intro track for the album. For "Let's step up", After School would performed it with a dance tap routine.

Jun 16, is one of the saddest history in After School calendar where on of the 1st generation of After School decide to graduate. Bekah decided to pursue her dream to become a designer and has released her graduation work, a solo track titled Take Me To The Place.


This is a short synopsis of After School, to tell you the truth I miss the old After School where the bring out the concept of a powerful women. Although they are gaining more popularity nowadays, I still prefer their original concept where most of the people decided not to give them a second glance.

This is only me 2cent, don't really take it to your heart if you have some disagreement of my choice of words. I'm just trying to write what I really thought of them and they still are my favorite group in the K-pop scene.

p/s: to get more info on After School, you can wiki it up. The information are pretty reliable. Some of the info here are taken from wiki e.g the date.

p/s/s: will upload picture and video of After School on the next post.

Westlife no more

I just know about this today!! Westlife are about to disband?? NO!!!!

I'm regretting my decision for not attending their recent concert in Malaysia few months back and now I heard that they gonna do their farewell tour in UK and Ireland. Why only there? not the whole world??
I know that I kinda have been abandoning them for this past few years but still they have a very special place in my heart and memory.

I can still remember the first time i watch their MV on TV2 and I immediately fall in love with them. It was about 10PM it was in between show that they show If I Let You Go MV. In that instant I reminded myself to check on the group and since then they have been forever in my heart. I learn to LOVE English because of them. They were my motivation because in my delusional mind I believe that one day I will be able to meet them and talk to them.

I bought their album (cassette and CD) since I was in primary school ( I was a collector since I was small LOL) I have been their fans for 14 years and this new is a great shock for me. Just a few days ago I was thinking to myself  " I think I should buy again all their album"  and to be greeted with this devastating news.

Westlife you will forever be in my heart, I will cherish all the memories about you dearly.

They will forever be 5 in my heart. Thank you for the great memories. I will forever cheer for your next career/decision.
