[MV REVIEW] HI SUHYUN 'I AM DIFFERENT': GOOD TO BE YOUNG


OKAY. This one is purely me fangirling. So, this time is my Lee Hi and Akdong Musician's Suhyun duo. But, the hidden card is Bobby. I mean I love our rapper Bobby who is charming. Hahah. Well, this MV is the funniest MV of this year. I really like this MV as it makes me smile and all giggle by myself. On top of that, I feel so young and so flustered. 

I don't know about the music, but the beat reminds me of SNSD's 2012 Dancing Queen (which is the remake of Duffy's Mercy). But, no prob, as long as it is easy on my ears. Honestly the song is not that very extraordinary or different than the other K-pop songs. But the playfulness of the MV can be delivered effectively by the song itself. As the duo is still in their teenage years, this MV fits them perfectly. The school-stalker-unrequited love concept. I love it.

The MV tells about two girls (Hi Suhyun) who happen to be best friends have crush to the similar boy (Bobby). This MV has made me remember how nice my high school life was. Although back then I had many subjects to advance, but still this kind of activity of stalking a boy or girl you had crush on was another enjoyment of our youth. Don't you think so? That's a normal life of teenagers. It doesn't mean you practically follow him/her everywhere. But, there is this time when you will steal some glances towards him. Or, you will come to his basketball match on your spare time. Right? 

Really. Good to be young. Now I realize as I get older every year, I have been sometimes longing for my young self. That's school days with uniforms were really the best. So, for young puppies, please study well to get good grade, but don't forget to find a good and nice boy to date, okay? No. I mean don't forget to do everything you want to do while you still can do it. Join school clubs you like. Ah, I do envy you, youngsters!

[DRAMA REVIEW] YOU'RE ALL SURROUNDED: GANGNAM'S P4

Yay. I have successfully finished a drama again. This time is an action-comedy-crime-drama. The story is about a group of rookie detectives in Gangnam Police Station, South Korea. There are four of them: Eun Dae Gu (Lee Sung Gi), Oh Soo Sun (Go Ara), Park Tae Il (Ahn Jae Hyun), and Ji Gook (Park Jung Min). They are chosen to be part of team 3 in crime division, under the command of legendary detective, Seo Pan Suk and his friend, Detective Lee. These four newbies are called P4. 

The story is about the daily life of detectives in handling criminals and many unexpected situations. The drama also shows how the rookie detectives are being trained to fit in as polices. Of course there are several interesting cases and the drama also showcases comedy within it and love line to make the story tastier. I really love how comical the characters are. They are really great actors. I laugh when they do something silly, comedy at its best, and cry when the scenes tend to touch the spectators. This drama has been a good friend of me for this week. I enjoy it so much. 

If this story just tells about random crimes that happened in Gangnam, this drama is gonna be a regular one. But, to differentiate it from other dramas, the writers seem like making a root as the core of the story line. The way they deliver and stir the viewers' perspective and way of thinking is quiet intriguing. There are several twists in every corners of the story. You should watch to know what I mean.

The main conflict is actually about Eun Dae Gu who wants to reveal the truth behind the death of his mother eleven years ago. Someone had killed his mother in front of his own eyes. His real name is actually Ji Yong, but he then moved in an orphanage and changed his name into Eun Dae Gu. After he joined team 3 crime division of Gangnam Police Station, he has the chance to catch the killer and those who have plotted the crime scene. The result of his investigation is actually bigger than he can imagine, involving the Police Chief, Assemblyman and his family. 

The drama although has the purpose to entertain with the way how comedic actually it is directed, it is still delivering messages here and there through the dialogues and also the characters' actions and choice decisions. You're All Surrounded shows the corruption of the society and how can innocent people be unfairly judged. But, still, no matter how you've been wronged and burned by hatred to take revenge, don't ever put gun on your opponent because when you do that all the reasons will vanish and only left with the result (Detective Seo Pan Suk). 

If you want to watch something funny and also thrilling, you may try to watch You're All Surrounded. This drama will make you laugh and also sit on your couch for 20 straight hours. 

Warning: When Yoo Ae Yun appears, please don't throw your mug towards the monitor (that ahjumma is sure crazy bitch).
