Chicago Typewriter OST

After survived from a challenging week, I reward myself by watching ongoing kdrama.

Currently obsessed with Chicago Typewriter which is very underrated, IMHO. This drama is superb. It definitely will be one of the best drama in my list. So, please bare with me. I’m going to rant a lot over this drama.

At first, I was curious about Im Soo Jung (@soojunglim_) who comeback to dramaland after 13 years off. She is so great in I’m Sorry I Love You also …Ing and many other movies.

Yoo Ah In (@hongsick) also draws my attention since he always play a challenging character, meaningful if I may say. Just look at his previous work such as Sungkyungkwan Scandal, Fashion King, Jang Ok Jung.

There is also Go Kyung Pyo (@kopular) which left good impression on me after Flower Boy Next Door and Reply 1988.

After I watch the first few episodes. I realized it is such a great drama, an unpredictable one.

The storyline. It is mostly about life of a writer but they deliver it in a very interesting way. The idea of using past (Korea in 1930) and present time as setting for their story is something that I rarely seen in kdrama world.

Since ‘writer’ is the big theme of the drama, they spoiled me with many book reference, writer reference, beautiful book cafe, inspiring book quotes, and last but not least, amazing privat library of writers.

Me, as a bookworm myself, could not ask for more. Books is everywhere.

The cast. I was amazed on how @hongsick perfectly portrayed the eccentric brassy filthy rich writer #hansejoo in the present time and a mysterious poised #seohwiyoung in the past as if they were two character portrayed by 2 different actor.

Not to mention the deep, genuine, and cutest bromance with his literally ‘ghost’writer @kopular .

The love line with @soojunglim_ which is more than just ‘cheesy’ romance. Add with an eccentric, funny, and random editor played by the #goblin secretary.

All I can say, they are the best cast for this drama.

The OST. Oh my, TVN always provides great OSTs, including this one. All OST and background music are perfectly connect to the story.

So far, my favorites is Satellite by SaltNPaper also one from SG.Wannabe.

Last, I love how they include mystery, writer issues, publishing issues, politic issues, world problem, pop culture, fashion, and art in this drama without too dramatize or exaggerate.

So here are some of the OST:

1. SALTNPAPER – Satellite

2. CeeLo – Better Late Than Never [episode 1, during Han Se Joo book fansign in Chicago)

3. Celine Dion – Power of love [episode 1, the scene when the dog run to Jeon Seol instead of Se Joo]

The K2 Kdrama OST

After being hiatus from kdrama world (the last one was Doctors), I decided to take a peek of currently airing kdrama. Then I bumped into this one drama from TVN called The K2.

As always, TVN made always made a great drama (eventhough the ending not always as we wanted to be). Named it, Cheese In The Trap, Reply series, Signal, Another Oh Hae Young, Let’s Fight Ghost, Dear My Friends, Cinderella and Four Knights, Oh My Ghost, Let’s Eat, Misaeng, Flower Boy next Door, and Queen In Hyun’s man.

I’ve been hearing about this drama even before the drama airing. I was kinda interested because I heard Ji Chang Wook will be in it, the genre is action, and the writer is the same as the Yong Pal’s. Furthermore it will be in TVN. So yes, I’m in.

I finally watched it when it already in episode 6. So far, I like it. It just a matter of preferences. Many viewer don’t like it because of Yoona’s (SNSD) acting.

But for me, she is not bad for an Idol Actress. In fact, she is much better. She is improving a lot (trust me, I’ve watched all of her dramas back then) in terms of acting. So I’m gonna give her credit for her role as Anna.

As for other cast, they are great. Loving the action scene and an intense conversation between the cast. Also loving a shred of comedy from Anna’s bodyguard.

The truth is, I like the story line, unpredictable. I don’t know who is the true culprit as I think that every one in the drama could be the one. Have to watched it till the end to know about it then. And I did. Love this drama to the bone. Great cast, great act, great action, great plot, and great ending.

Now, talking about kdrama always involve its original soundtrack (OST). Since it is TVN, I am fond of the OST. Most of OST from TVN’s dramas never dissapoint me. Including The K2 drama which I am currently watching, now. Awesome OST, if I may say.

Another Oh Hae Young OST

Not long ago, I decided to give a break with TVN dramas because of one hell of rollercoaster and a bit painful journey with their dramas, such as Reply 1988 and Cheese In The Trap.

Actually, they are very good dramas. It just somehow, along the way, there were so many things involved that make me think, “Aaah too bad, it could have been a great dramas ever.”

Anyway, I guess that just me being disappointed and hard to move on. Since I heard that Eric Mun comeback to kdramaland with Seo Hyun Jin, I really anticipate for it.

I’ve known him since he is in Shinhwa and fell in love more when he play Super Rookie alongside Han Ga In. So, I can’t not really wait.

But then, it will be in TVN. Darn! But, for the love of Eric, I decided to open my heart again for TVN. Well, I always love TVN for their dramas and Music and Drama OST.

At first, Another Oh Hae Young or Another Miss Oh or Oh Hae Young Again is not quite known, especially when everyone in the galaxy still rooting for DOTS (descendant of The Sun).

But for me, I knew from the start that I will love this drama and believe it will be another good journey.

Let’s see, Kim Mi Kyung, my favorite actress which involved in many great dramas (The Heirs, Yong Pal, Can You Hear My Heart). Kim Ji Suk which I known from his role in Cheongdamdong Alice and Ye Ji Won from the latest Page Turner drama.

As for the story, definitely refreshing, the whole family is entertaining. Not to mention, the idea that Eric is a sound producer, make it very interesting. The drama emphasize about sound a lot which a new knowledge and experience for drama viewers like me.

I am so convince that it will be a funny, romantic, and warm journey to the end.

Just like the OST and BGM they had offered so far. A catchy, upbeat, warm, mellow song and music which now filling my playlist altogether with CITT OST, Goodbye Mr. Black OST, Beautiful Gong Shim OST, Coldplay, Adele and Shawn Mendez.

Goodbye Mr. Black OST

After Descendants of The Sun (DOTS) ended, I practically move on to other dramas.

Fortunately, there is this one drama I watch along with the DOTS. Which none other than Goodbye Mr. Black.

Eventhough the drama is quite off radar or I may say underrated, but somehow I was curious enough to make me continue watching it. I watched it silently because everyone eyes, heart, and soul was in DOTS.

Furthermore, this drama is a comeback drama for Moon Chae Won, one of actress that I fond of after watched The Princess’s man, Good Doctor, and Innocent Man.

Ah, it also have Song Jae Rim in it and Im Se Mi, so yeah, I like them too.

This drama is based on the original Manhwa/Webtoon called “Goodbye Mr. Black.” by Hwang Mi Na which was first published in 1983. The comic is motivated by French author Alexandre Dumas’s novel “The Count of Monte Cristo“.

After saw their first few episodes, I kinda liked it although not as far as crazy about it or ‘baper’ in Indonesian Language.

It got me hooked, at least until now. And the OST, off course I like the OST. That is why I decided to write this post. Especially the OST Part 4 which I kept replayed in my playlist along with CITT OST and DOTS OST.

So, here are some of the OST that captured my heart.

1. Baek Ji Young – Goodbye [OST Part 1]

2. Baek Ji Young – Goodbye [OST Part 1] – instrumental

3. Bae Su Jung – Walking In Place [OST Part 3]

4. Bae Su Jung – Walking In Place [OST Part 3] – instrumental

Descendants of the Sun OST

Another kdramas in my waiting list for 2016 is finally airing, Descendants of the Sun. Really curious of how it will be since the writer is the great Kim Eun Sook.

Furthermore, the lead cast is our Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo. Both of them are my favorites. Love Song Hye Kyo since Autumn Tales era till now.

While Song Joong Ki, well, first time I saw him was in Triple. And this is his new drama after serving his nation in Military. So, who is not excited to watch him again after 2 years, right.

One more thing, this drama shooting is already ended aka pre-produced, which is I believe, just like Cheese in The Trap, the cinematography and the editing or the scene showing will be just perfect since they have time to make it the best they can.

After watching their first 2 episodes, I know I have been fallen in love. And fortunately, it aired during the time I felt down because of the lack of JungSeol moment in Cheese In The Trap. Somehow, it lifted my kdramas spirit up.

The drama kinda reminds me of “Tour of Duty” (a drama aired back in the eighties. It’s about war, friendship, military, also love line between a Liutenant and a doctor. What a memories).

Yong Pal, The Gang Doctor

Here come my newest addiction. After immerse into the story of Na Bong Sun and Chef Kang in the amazing drama called Oh My Ghostess (also known as Oh My Ghost), finally I can move on to another drama. Thanks God, Yong Pal is coming to the rescue.

Yong Pal is a Korean drama about a doctor named Kim Tae Hyun (played by the handsome and tall Joo Won) who is a very skillful surgeon.

At day, he works in Hospital while at night he did a house call for gangster. And the sole reason is because he desperately need money to pay the loan shark and also to pay for her sister dialysis (she is very sick).

But I think, Yong pal is really love to be a doctor from the bottom of his heart. Because for whatever reason or status, he will definitely help his patients. And he don’t care with other’s opinion about him.

He then meets Han Yeo Jin (Kim Tae Hee), a ‘princess’ who is in deep sleep at the hospital.

She kind of a sleeping beauty waiting for his prince which none other than Yong Pal. And that is where all the story began.

I really really love this drama. That is why I’m following this currently airing drama. Usually, I am the type who will wait until the drama ends.

But for Yong Pal, I patiently wait for the next episode to be aired. The action, intense, and emotion portrayed by the actors are amazing.

The Original Soundtrack, oh the OST is dragged me more into this drama.

Here is the list of the OST:

1. The One – To My Love ( OST Part 1)

2. James Brown – I feel Good (episode 3, when Yong Pal do the make over for his looks)

2. Yong Jun Hyung and Heo Ga Yoon – Nightmare (OST Part 2)

4. Jung In – Actually, I’m Scared (OST Part 3)

7. Park Hye Soo – Remember Me Only (OST Part 6)

In fact, I really need to watch this kind of drama so I gain more knowledge about how youngster live their life nowadays. I am very sure it is very different from mine back then.

The first 3 episode is satisfying, at least for me. And the soundtrack, really catch my ears attention. Will try to compile all the OST here. I trully hope that all the OST will be as energizing as the drama plot and the cast.

Almost All “If I Stay” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

I may be too late to talk about the original motion picture soundtrack of a movie based on the book called “If I Stay.” But still, I couldn’t kept my finger off the keyboard to write about it. I’ve seen the trailer for maybe more than 10 times. And now, I am started to read the book only after I finally watch the movie. I’m going to leave the talk about the movie itself in another rambling post of mine. Right now, I’ll talk only about the soundtrack.

I am someone who not easy fall in love with all the song from movies. I rarely bought the CD because I usually like to hear only few songs from the OST. But, I guess this movie got me. I got really bad. I am crazy in love with the soundtrack of this movie. I mean, I literally love all the song. There is no single song that I left behind. I had it all in my playlist and been listening to it every time I had a chance. From the soundtrack, I could listen a wide range of genre of the music. Start from the very classic one until the rock one. Oh, not to forget, some of the music makes me feel like I live in the 70s * although I am not born yet in that era *

Not to mention, there are some songs from the ‘imaginary band’ from the movie who give life to the movie and the characters. Why I called it imaginary? because the band is not exist in reality, it came from the movie. They are Willematte Stone (which in the book called “Shooting Star”). * it kinda remind me of the band from anime BECK. They are imaginary band but their song is so great that many people really hope the band will exist in reality * Jamie Blackley (as the main vocalist of the band) really nailed all the song from the band.

Well, here are the song I could find from youtube. But I really recommend you all to buy the CD for it really worth every penny.

Sinopsis:

Kuroko No Basuke menceritakan seorang pebasket bernama Kuroko yang memiliki keyakinan tersendiri terhadap Basket yang dia mainkan. Ketika SMP, Kuroko tergabung dalam tim basket sekolahnya, yaitu Teiko Middle School Basketball Team. Tim ini telah memenangkan kejuaraan basket selama 3 musim berturut-turut. Tim ini terdiri dari lima pemain yang disebut-sebut sebagai Generasi Keajaiban (Miracle Generation). Namun, ternyata, dibalik keberhasilan 5 pemain tersebut, ada 1 lagi pemain yang keberadaannya tidak terlalu dikenal namun sangat dihormati oleh 5 pemain tersebut. Dan pemain ke-6 itu adalah Tetsuya Kuroko.

Cerita bermula ketika Taiga Kagami, yang baru saja kembali dari Amerika, bersekolah di SMU Seirin. Ia bergabung dengan tim basket Seirin bersama dengan Kuroko.  Pada awalnya kagami menganggap remeh Kuroko karena permainan basket Kuroko biasa-biasa saja. Bahkan keberadaan Kuroko bagaikan ‘hantu.’ Tidak semua orang bisa merasakan kehadirannya. Akan tetapi, hal ituah yang menjadi kekuatan Kuroko. Ia bisa mengoper bola basket tanpa disadari oleh pihak lawan.

Setelah bertemu dengan Kagami, Kuroko memutuskan untuk mendukung Kagami menjadi pemain basket terbaik. Kuroko merasa apa yang ia cari selama ini, ada dalam diri Kagami, ada dalam Tim Basket Seirin. Ia memutuskan untuk menjadi bayangan Kagami. Mereka kemudian berjanji untuk bahu-membahu memenangkan pertandingan dan mengalahkan ke-5 orang anggota Generasi keajaiban.

Review:

Kuroko no Basuke termasuk ke dalam daftar manga terlaris tahun 2012 mengalahkan Naruto. Oleh karenanya saya sangat tertarik ketika mendengarbahwa ada versi animenya. Bagi saya yang memang menyukai anime dan manga bergenre olahraga, komedi, dan sekolah, kuroko’s no basket merupakan salah satu anime yang wajib ditonton. Ceritanya yang umum disertai dengan kelucuan-kelucuan tokohnya, dan juga trik-trik basket yang ‘unik’ membuat saya bertahan menonton anime ini. Tentu saja, trik-trik basket yang ditunjukkan mungkin tidak bisa dilakukan dalam dunia nyata. Bahkan bisa dibilang, lebay. Namun, menurut saya, itulah yang menjadi daya tarik anime ini.

Secara umum, orang akan membandingkan Kuroko’s no basket dengan slam dunk. Tipikal pemain yang sama dan ambisi yang sama pula. Tapi entah kenapa, kesan pertama saya adalah anime ini mirip dengan Prince of Tennis. Tentu saja bukan dari segi Olahraga yang dimainkan, tapi lebih kepada penggambaran dan penampakan tokoh-tokohnya. Juga dari segi kekonyolan dan hal-hal mustahil yang mereka lakukan ketika berlatih. Yang jelas, anime ini sangat menghibur saya. 2 jempol untuk anime ini!

Saya juga menyukai pemikiran Kuroko. Dia percaya bahwa bakat bukanlah segalanya. Dalam pertandingan basket, bakat memang memegang peranan penting, tetapi kerjasama dan kepandaianlah yang membuat suatu tim bisa memenangkan kejuaraan. Kuroko percaya bahwa, tim yang kuat tidak akan bisa menang jika tidak ada kerja-sama diantara mereka. Itulah sebabnya ia mengundurkan diri dari Tim basket Teiko karena ia merasa, setiap pemain hanya bermain secara individual, dan hanya demi memenangkan pertandingan. Mereka melupakan kerjasama dan kesenangan pada saat bermain basket.

The Heirs OST

So, after I watched The Heirs episode 12. Can not help myself to stop heard the OST. Actually it’s been replaying in my head.

I’ve been hooked, definitely. Whether I listen to it from my hand phone or not. Crazy. I may say that this drama OST is one of the best.

I mean, all the OST so far is amazing and really fit to the storyline. Some drama, not just kdrama, only couple of their OST could catch the viewer and listener heart.

But this drama OST really captured lots of people who watched and listen to its OST. I probably in my fangirl mode, kdrama lover mode.

As far as I remember, the last time I am being like this is when I watched Queen In Hyun’s Man and it’s already long before.

And for your info, I’m not so into Lee Min Ho. Am I weird? cos I believe there were lots of people who really fall into his charms.

So, when I first watch this drama, I am not in my fangirl mode at all. All I expected is to watch a drama full of eye candy and lighthearted high school life.

But, it turned out to be wrong. It is a very thoughtful and deeper drama. It just a way to relax my brain and mind from everyday routine.

But, after watched from one episode to another, damn, I gradually turn back into my fangirl mode. And the OST, keep replaying them in phone.

And after finished watching the drama, I am officially became MinShin shipper (MinShin = Min Ho & Shin Hye).
