End of the Year 2014 List: Looking Forward to 2015 (Part 3)
So for a number of years, I've been looking ahead and trying to come up with things that I'll be checking out in the new year.
Part 1 of my end of the year list regarding the Chinese/Taiwanese and Thailand dramas I watched can be found here. Part 2 is here, Japanese and Korean dramas I watched.
Dramas of Interest in 2015 - last year's list was ( Read more... ) -
End of the Year 2014 List: Part One: Korean and Japanese Dramas (Part 2)
My pattern for watching Korean dramas held steady this year, nine of them just like in 2012, and 2013. There were a lot of noona romances, which I don't like, and reunited pairings in dramaland this year (which I do like!). .But Japanese doramas? Only watched two doramas this year. Honestly, I'm a bit embarassed by that, but consoled by the fact ( Read more... ) -
End of the Year 2014 List: Chinese/Taiwanese Dramas (Part 1)
It's a time of the year I really enjoy, its end. I like to look back, reflect over what I watched and did, and this year, I think I followed a more normal pattern of drama watching for me. I just watched what I wanted to, didn't make it a point to watch anything really except what caught my interest.
In 2013, I watched 1 Pakistani drama, 3 Chinese/ ( Read more... ) -
Kpop: Best of 2014 - Part 2 (Groups)
This was not a good year for kpop and part of it was The Exodus 2014, so named after Exo members who left the group. Two members, Kris and Luhan, left Exo, Jessica left SNSD (or was told to leave),and MBLAQ? Recently both Thunder and Lee Joon left MBLAQ. Life goes on, but groups like MBLAQ? Who knows ( Read more... ) -
Kpop: Best of 2014 - Part 1 (The soloists)
KPOP MUSIC - Ah, kpop in 2014 was a mess of scandals and group changes, from dating scandals to real scandals involving rape, people leaving massively popular (and not so popular) groups, and even death (RIP Ladies' Code). But let's focus on the music, not the scandals.
The soloists - Well, in my predictions for 2014, I expected to see more ( Read more... ) -
"Love You To Death"
Taeyang's back! And I'm back because of Taeyang. I just felt like writing something. His new album Rise dropped June 2. The title song is okay, a slow R & B track, "Eyes, Nose, Lips". I like it, but "Love You to Death" is my favorite track. Especially when I read the lyrics, it just increased the love.
I like all the songs on the album, and love a ( Read more... ) -
Part Three: Best of the Best 2013 List, and 2014 Dramas of Interest
Yeah! A bit late, but better than never. Now time for some predictions. And looking back at my list of dramas of interest for 2013, how did that work out?

Part Two: End of the Year 2013 List: Chinese/Taiwanese
Chinese/Taiwanese dramas continue to be in a slump for me. I find most of the ones I'm interested in go untranslated, while lots of them that don't interest me, Love Me, Leave Me, Love Forward and so on are available to watch at Dramafever. With Thailand lakorns, I find there's a lot subbed that I want to watch, but I did concentrate on watching ( Read more... ) -
Part One: End of the Year 2013 List: Korean and Japanese Dramas
Ah, I'm going to have fond memories of 2013, despite some frustrations, namely at the self imposed challenges I took on this year. I didn't watch all the dramas that I wanted to, instead I was determined to succeed at the 2013 Drama Challenge that I made up and I DID IT! Thank goodness.

Kpop: Best of 2013 - Part 2 (The groups)
I think I enjoy these sorts of posts most of all, looking back on the year. Next week is dramas. Today, I'm looking at kpop groups.
I never said it before, but my favorite kpop groups are Big Bang, Block B, Teen Top, loving the up and coming Bangtan Boys, and was disappointed at a lot of Shinee, UKiss, Infinite, and BAP's latest efforts, but I ( Read more... )
