Top 10 KPop songs of 2013

Okay! 2013 was a hectic year for kpop artists and companies. This year I saw a fierce rookie competition between many rookie groups and competition between veteran groups. I was kinda sad to not see BigBang release an album as a group in 2013 but nevertheless life went on. Anyway here are the top 10 KPop songs of 2013 for me:

10. Girls Day - Expectation

 

 

09. Kara - Damaged Lady

 

08. K Will - Love Blossom

 

07. Exo - Wolf

 

06. VIXX - G.R.8.U

 

05. Infinite - Man in love

 

  

04. SHINee - Everybody

 

 

03. f(x) - Rum Pum Pum Pum

 

02. B.A.P - One Shot

 

01. Exo - Growl

Hardest thing to do is choose your own top 10 for anything, and with so many songs that  should be in the same ranking as others, makes life difficult.

But Here are some songs that deserve an honorable mention ( and because I feel weird if I don't mention these :P) :

Supreme Team - Thanks for the wait
G-Dragon - Coup D'etat
VIXX - Only U
SHINee - Colourful
ZE:A - Ghost of the wind
2NE1 - Missing you
Troublemaker - Now
APink - nonono
4Minute - What's your name
Infinite - Destiny
Exo - Miracles in December
MBLAQ - Sexy Beat
Nu'est - Hello Hello
SHINee - Dream Girl
SNSD - IGAB
Teen Top - I wanna love

I hope for 2014 to be a Hit with kpop songs! Its already started off well in my opinion.

Heirs - Korean Drama Review

EPs: 20 + Christmas Special
Genre: Romance, Family Drama, Comedy,
Rating: 10/10 ^_^ 

Where to begin!

Well I first heard about this drama when is was in pre-productiom where the cast was still being decided and with already what they had I was excited. They had already had the mains being, Lee Minho and Park Shin Hye. Two of my no.1 actresses and actors. Legit these two being in the same drama which would be a Romance and family Drama got me so excited that I become sad finding out it'll be a year or so till it airs. Now that its ended I can happily give a review worth giving.

This drama not only has Korean entertainments biggest people but also casts other big names like Krystal Jung, Choi Jin Hyuk, Kim Ji Won, Kim Woo Bin, etc! Trust me, you'll know everyone, just watching this drama rekindled so many memories from other dramas which I love.

An overall plot of this drama is that it basically shows a world of a rich and poor girl and their struggle to be together. Pride, Money and family gets in between the two and is the basis in which this drama revolves around.

The drama has its ups and downs with the occasional predictions and what's to come next but it also has a few surprises. The drama leaves you wanting more after completing and this is also done with the end of each episode. The love story between the two mains is cute and very thought out and performed by the two. The acting done by the whole cast is superb and tbh can't really be criticized. This drama has really good sub plots for other characters in the drama and this what makes the drama so unique and well done as a whole. I'll be honest I loved the sub plots abit more of the other characters than the main on occasions. Really sad when the Drama ended :'(

The different perspectives and personalities of the characters and how the cast perform them is marvellous and I really love it, makes the drama stand out. This drama was made out to be a huge deal with the all star casts and plot, and in the end it delivered. 

The love triangle in the drama is quite different to your normal love triangle dramas and leaves you thinking. But non the less, being different is what got me to stay. I finished this drama in about a day and half because of the uniqueness.(Would've been a day but I needed to sleep :P)

Only reason why i didn't post a review earlier was because there was going to be a Christmas special and In order to give a proper full review I waited. But it turns out the Christmas special was a massive recap of the whole drama in one hr! Not bad, it cut away all the bullshit :P

But yeah! Overall the drama in my opinion has been the best drama of 2013, beating the pack by far. This drama would be a great starter kdrama for people wanting to dwell into Kdramas for the first time, and just overall performed as a Kdrama or drama in general should perform!! ..........^_^.......... 

Good Doctor - Korean Drama

EPs: 24
Rating: 8/10
Genre: Medical, Drama, Comedy, Romance

So this time around there's been hardly any KDramas for me to watch. Im very picking in what I watch, and the last thing I want to watch is medical wise and full of drama and not enough of fun elements or romance. 

Anyway I downloaded an ost track of this drama and it got my attention as I was watching the ost MV. I found out it had one of my favorite actresses playing as one of the mains, this got me excited because she's just so cute and pretty ^_^ and every drama I've seen her in have become my favorite and have entered the top 10! 

Now the drama itself is quite unique and it actually didn't really get me hooked till ep 2-3! Reason for that was I didn't know when I downloaded it, that the main guy was autistic and it was about his story in becoming a doctor. Now this drama did make me get pissed at some points, but that's normal In these kinds of dramas since it does involve disabled people and how society acts towards these people. But non the less, I shook it off and continued to watch. The drama does take its time to get to the romantic side but when it does its so nice and cute! Its comedic halfway through and its just a nice overall drama. There are climatic points which had me hooked and just immediately making watching the next episode

I killed this drama by watching it in 3 days, only because of had work but yea its that good. The drama has a good cast and teaches a lot in terms of medical facts and what is going on! Very informative, so I learnt quite abit. These kinds of dramas get me motivated and inspired to do better in endeavors, and its these kinds of dramas that I know that theyre good a watch. This goes in my top 10 dramas. 

One Direction: Midnight Memories - Album Review

Rating: 8/10
Genre: Pop, Ballad, Rock, Punk

So after going One Directions take me home concert, I was excited to see what they come up with next in terms of music and album. When they released there single Best Song Ever, I was kinda disappointed. But I patiently waited and it was worth it when they released - Story of my life. This single was what I was waiting for and from that I was happy and excited to see what'll come next.

When the album released, I spent a good day and 2 to listen and get a feel. I can confidently and happily say its the boys best album so far. They're no more this gayish boy band and now full pledged artists singing mature music, music which they really can show off there talents. Literally I loved every song in the album apart from a couple (picky nigga :L). The album this time is very mature and shows the maturity of the boys and the experiences to get to this point.

The album has a rock infused sound which I enjoy listening to. The album gives off a lot of sounds and tones which remind me of songs from which ive heard in the past. They've sampled very well in this album. I'm actually happy and surprised they've even decided to sample this time around. In this album I can actually hear more of the other boys other than Zayn and Harry like the previous albums. This time around everyone is heard and gives a better impact and sound.

Overall this album can be suited to any type of listener, with abit of everything to offer and listen too.

My favorite songs from the album would have to be:
- little white lies
- midnight memories
- Strong
- little black dress
- Diana
- Does he know?

Can't wait for this album tour!!!! This one is gonna off lads!!!! :L

Daniel Madison - Madison Rounders Deck Review

 

Rating: 9/10

So I decided to go for this deck next after thinking so hard which deck to purchase next! I was initially choosing between Monarchs or Artifice Emerald, but weirdly I stumbled upon Daniel Madison's Flourshing Dvd - Motions. Which lead me to his YouTube videos that brought upon his deck trailer.

After watching that trailer, I instantly fell for the deck design. It reminded me so much if the Wynn Casino decks which are so hard to get :( but non the less this was gonna be as close i can get to them and so I decided to purchase this deck.

The box is very minimalistic which I'm half/half on but for this type of cards and design that's what's expected. The back design is exactly like the Wynn decks but instead with Daniel Madison's logo and its in black! I wish was into cardistry earlier so I could get the red and blue coloured backs :/ now they're limited and too expensive!

The deck itself in terms of handling is actually quite superb, casino quality. The stock is unknown to me but its said that MD sent through 50 stocks to make this one deck and boy did he found the right one. The cards fanned really well, waterfalled exceptionally. This deck gave me my first ever proper waterfall :L the spring took awhile to do with the breaking in of the cards and how I didn't want to ruin these nice delicate cards. But after they're broken in they spring quite well. In terms of flourishing they perform nice and the minimalistic design actually to my surprise make the flourishes look nice and more sophisticated ( if you get what I mean, if not watch, Chris Hestness - Papercuts dvd).

Overall this deck of cards are a great addition and perfect for overall use. This deck is in my top favs and a deck which I can't go without.

One Direction Sydney Concert

So I got offered to go to one directions Take Me Home Tour, and let me say it was a good experience.

The concert started around 7:30 with the supporting act of 5 Seconds of Summer, which was boring as. When it got around to the main act 1D, the arena lit up with lights from peoples glow sticks and roars from there chants and in a slow rise of the large screens the boys stood behind waiting to be applauded by the audience everywhere! BOOM!!! The boys hit the stage and started singing! Tbh it gave a good pump to the crowd making them rise to their feet!!! 

Throughout the concert they did well to keep the crowd energetic and interactive. The boys took a couple of breaks and showed clips from their movie which was a good watch. But it wouldn't be long till they came back and did what they do best!! 

The highlight of the concert for me was when they climbed on the elevated traveling stage and transcending to the middle to greet and sing to the fans in the middle! Luckly my friend and I's seats were right next to the middle stage. Lol I even got in some words teasing harry and Niall :L my friend gave me looks!! But the real highlight from that highlight was when they were going back to the main front stage and as the boys were elevating I screamed out Zayns name and gave out the Westside sign with my hands and him doing the same back and smiling looking at me!!!!! *_* so beautiful :P

All and all it was a good concert! Fav white concert so far. I honestly can't wait for their next album tour which I will write up a review of when time comes, and also the album review very soon! Look forward it to :)

Sorry for lack of photos. For some reason I can cant find them when i backed them up to create space on my phone. If i find or when i do, ill upload them for you guys to see :) 

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo Review

Rating: 8/10
Genre: Romance, Comedy, ecchi, drama
EPs: 24

This anime by far is the most funniest I've seen in awhile since Ouran High. This anime has every element that you can look for in a Romance comedy anime. I was quite satisfied watching the anime from the intro to the ending it was all good. This anime might teach a thing or two but in the end you'll be satisfied with just watching it. It really got me hooked from ep 1. The connection between the two protagonists are nice and filled with laughter. The story is balanced and doesn't really fall in any categories. The different personalities of the two protagonists is what gets you and unlike other Rom/coms it stands out. You might even say its the opposite of toradora yet still keeps the same elements from it!
