Here's the lyrics of "Black Magic"

[intro]
All the girls on the block knocking in my door
Wanna know what it is make the boys want more

[Verse 1]
Is your lover
Playing on your side
Said he loves you
But he ain't got time
Heres the answer
Come and get it
At a knocked down price

[Verse 2]
Full of honey
Just to make him sweet
Crystal balling
Just to help him see what he's been missing
So come and get it
While you still have time

[Pre-chorus]
Get your boy on his knees and repeat me after me say

[Chorus]
Take a sip of my secret potion
I'll make you fall in love
For a spell that cant be broken
One drop should be enough
Boy you belong to me
I got the recipe
And it’s called black magic (and it’s called black magic)
Take a sip of my secret potion
One taste and youll be mine
Its a spell that cant be broken
It'll keep you up all night
Boy you belong to me
I got the recipe
And it’s called black magic (and it’s called black magic)

[Verse 3]
If youre looking
For mr. right
Need that magic
To change him overnight
Heres the answer
So come and get it
While you still got time

[Pre-chorus]
Get your boy on his knees and repeat me after me say

[Chorus]
Take a sip from my secret potion
I'll make you fall in love
For a spell that cant be broken
One drop should be enough
Boy you belong to me
I got the recipe
And it’s called black magic (and it’s called black magic)
Take a sip from my secret potion
One taste and youll be mine
Its a spell that cant be broken
It'll keep you up all night
Boy you belong to me
I got the recipe
And it’s called black magic (and it’s called black magic)

[Bridge]
All the girls on the block knocking in my door

For a spell that cant be broken
One drop should be enough
Boy you belong to me

Take a sip from my secret potion
One taste and youll be mine
Theres a spell that cant be broken

And it’s called black magic (and it’s called black magic)

kakao wallet bankbook! must-have item! l0l

I finally opened kakao account (카카오통장) from Woori bank(우리은행). I love kakaotalk characters and this bankbook is one of must-have items lol. I opened kakao account just for collection for now, but I may use this later since it is so cute. 
Ta-da!


Look at Muzi(무지)'s face! he is so proud of having kakao bankbook. wait. where's apeach?!



bazinga! apeach is on the back

kakaotalk (카카오톡), the most famous messenger in Korea, is having banking service now, and this seems so convenient to send money to friend. No need to write certificate verification or authentication, once you register wallet. just like paypal, but you can send money to friend by sending kakaotalk message. well, I haven't used it yet, but it seems easy. and since I already opened kakao account, I may use this banking service. (it doesn't have to be kakao account. you can use any account) It seems useful especially when paying bills separately between friends. 
Yet, it only can use between kakaotalk friends, and the other side also need to install kakao wallet app.

Lee Jin-Ah, [Yum Yum Yum] from Kpop Star 4

Last week, topic of [Kpop Star 4](K팝스타4) was Lee Jin-Ah. (이진아) 
She was already issued on her first stage. [Time, please go by slowly] or [Time please slow down] (시간아 천천히)
Her voice is very unique. Not only when she's singing, also when daily talking. 
It's very unusual, like you didn't never hear before. 
I guess she was teased about her voice when she grew up, but she gets over by changing her voice as an advantage. Her voice is really special.

Another surprising thing about her is the ability to compose. Three judges admire greatly every time.
The most I like is [Yum Yum Yum]. (냠냠냠)
Her keyboard playing is sooooo amazing. I knew she was great singer song-writer, but she was better than I thought. Her keyboard was complicated, but sining melody is really catchy and simple.
Lyric is also sensible. It is about break-up, but she expresses light and cute. The title of the song, yum yum yum, comes from the meaning "I am eating our precious memories."

One of judges, Yoo Hee-Yeol (유희열), there was unusual scene that whenever Jin-Ah is practicing other participants sing along 'yum yum yum yum yum', and likewise, I was also singing along in the second half. Judge Yang Hyun-Suk (양현석) was worried about popularity, but for me this song is enough to have popular appeal. This song make everyone sing along together, even they heard this song the first time. Another judge, Park Jin-Young (박진영), was stuck with admiration of her song, and told that this song is a foul as an audition because it has outstanding musicality. As a general public, I do not know musicality, but it is still so great and seems to have a quality of music. Especially Keyboard! Just wow! 

Check it out, you will definitely like it!

Another song of Lee Jin-Ah [Time please slow down] (song from 4:00)

Korean TV drama [Time Between Dog and Wolf] (개와 늑대의 시간)

[Time Between Dog and Wolf] is the Korean TV drama that clearly imprinted in my mind actor, Lee Jun Ki. I was totally immersed in watching this drama. It aired in 2007 but is still known for sure as one of the best drama in Korea with [Resurrection]. High quality of story line, structure, direction, and acting.  As authentic action film noir genre, feast for the eye is a bonus.


The time is between dog and wolf. The title is also extraordinary.

When all things are stained red sunset,
Silhouette coming over the hill is if the dog I was raised,
or if the wolf coming to hurt me,
Undistinguishable time.

The unique title is taken from a French saying "L'heure entre chien et loup" and means the twilight hour that is ambiguous time of dusk the night, making it's difficult to distinguish between dogs and wolves. The title simulates the imagination.
The title of "Time Between Dog and Wolf" seems to express the status of Soo-hyun (Lee Jun-Ki) experienced the confusion of identity between the lost memories and a desire for revenge. In addition, boundaries between good and evil/ friend and foe is unclear though it is about revenge.
Mao (Choi, Jae-sung) is an enemy of Soo-hyun/Kay (Lee Jun Ki), but Mao is also a prop who Kay can turn to when he lost his memories. Ji-woo/Ari (Nam Sang-mi) is Soo-hyun/Kay's lover as well as a daughter of the enemy just like Romeo and Juliet. Min-Ki (Jung Kyung-ho) is brother-like friend and hostile relation in one. All this vague boundaries is cleared by well-organized plot, striking directing, and character actors.
It was good action, incident, revenge is the main story instead of being fed up with romance.


Soo-Hyun, a undercover NIS agent, infiltrates the Chungbang (Thai gang) with revenge in mind and reborn as Kay. He is so pitiable character. Not to mention personal history, no credit for life-risking undercover activities since NIS agent cannot leave a name even after death. Indeed all of characters in this drama are pathetic.
When Kay is wandered without memories, [Time Between Dog and Wolf] is similar in [Resurrection]. Undercover is almost like one-person two roles. Compared to Soo-hyun, Kay with lost memories is a totally different man. To be honest, I was a little worried about Lee Jun Ki, since he played Kong-gil in his previous work, film [King and the Clown]. It was huge hit, so I was worried if he stuck in Kong-gil. However, it was unnecessary anxiety. Lee Jun Ki acts very well. Probable it is also fresh that Lee Jun Ki, famous as a pretty man, is very good at action as a Taekwondo master.
As an actor, Lee Jun Ki seems to have strong desire about acting. (you know, in a good way) He has a passion. he chooses work carefully. I say, Lee Jun Ki as a brand-name. That is why I always watching his work ever afterward, like [Illjimae] or [Two weeks]. His genre suit my taste as well!


Rediscovery of actor Jung Kyung-ho. I realized he is full of charm through [Time Between Dog and Wolf]. He is cute when he played Min-Ki as deceitful a bit naughty, on the other hand, when he burst out subbing after his father's death, Jung Kyung-ho proved he is a real actor. Since then, he shows charismatic Min-ki.


No more 'Burger part-time job Beauty'. Nam Sang-mi is grown up as an actress. Personally I had a good impression of her, so I expected when I watching, she is very pretty, no less. Acting was well received. Whenever Ji-woo(Nam Sang-mi) comes out it gets bored as it went on, but it can't be helped due to the flow, I guess.


Simple plot: After his mother was brutally murdered in front of him by Thai criminal gang, Chungbang, Lee Soo-hyun was adapted into NIS agent. Later, he carried out an operation dealing with Chungbang, and becomes undercover agent infiltrating into Chungbang with revenge in mind. Soo-hyun reborn as Kay, hiding his past...

I highly recommended [Time Beween Dog and Wolf]. You won't regret. well, if you do not like dark, it could be difficult to put up with in the beginning, though. However, you might be immersed oneself in, every episode.

Best Korean TV Drama [Resurrection] (부활)

If someone threw a question, "Pick the most fun of Korean TV drama", I exclaims without hesitation that the [resurrection](부활, Bu-hwal). - here, I am personally confused if I call this drama as 'resurrection', 'revival', 'rebirth' or 'revenge'. 

It has perfect plot, acting, composition, even one word of the lines is flawless. One thing to desired is viewer rating. If consider, in the same timeslot, other TV drama [My name is Kim Sam-soon] is hot as 'Sam-soon influence' all over the country, it couldn't be helped. However, many viewers request to re-run the show so they can watch both TV dramas, called [resurrection] as 'mania drama'/ 'Bu-hwal(부활) panic'. In fact, rating got rise almost twice after [My name is Kim Sam-soon] finished airing.

When I watch Tv drama about revenge, [resurrection] become the norm for me. If it is about revenge, it is supposed to be at least like [resurrection]!!




After this drama, Uhm Tae-woong has been nicknamed "Uhm Force" by his fans. He successfully act as Seo Ha-eun/Yoo Shin-hyuk (one person, two roles). Maybe I can say, one person, three roles, if I include Seo Ha-eun pretending being Yoo Shin-hyuk.
It was also good harmony with Han Ji-min as Seo Eun-ha. She is so beautiful with limped eyes, but I cheered for more revenge than romance, since I was so curious about the story. Unexpected twist also made this drama so special.. I guarantee that this it a must see.


Plot: 20 years ago, Because of horrific car crash, young Ha-eun (Uhm Tae-woong) lost his memory but raised to be a happy young man. He becomes a police officer and while investigating one case, he discovered some horrifying truths about the death of his father and his own identity. He met his twin brother Shin-hyuk (also Uhm Tae-woong) after 20 years' separation, but Shin-hyuk is murdered. Ha-eun decided to find the truth and revenge, and pretends to be his twin brother...

lastly, famous lines of [resurrection]:

 Do you know the rule of the circle?
 Circle in the end is about to begin.
 In other words, the end of all things is at the start finish.

Korean drama [PUNCH], Jjajang-myeon (짜장면)

One of my favorite Korean drama(soap opera) being broadcast, [Punch] (펀치).
Composition and story, acting.. all elements of this drama have absorptive power and grip my interest. Review will go on later, for now..
This drama appeals to my taste, when I watch the scene about Jjajang-myeon (짜장면)
I haven't eaten all day since I was suffered from enteritis. But [Punch] has eating Jjajang-myeon scene without fail. (on the air yesterday)


Cho, Jae-Hyun (조재현) and Kim, Rae-Won (김래원), their acting skill have shined through eating scene. (먹방)


omg.. Cho, Jae-Hyun, you eat soooooo deliciously..




Also, Kim, Rae-Won cannot lose eating battle.


slurp, nom nom nom.. sucking noises show that it tastes as delicious as it sounds.
Making video of Jjajang-myeon scene has uploaded on Punch drama official homepage.

* Note* If you watch this video when you are hungry, you get more hungry. Even watching when you are not hungry, you get hungry


On, Joo-Wan, another actor in this drama, posted selfie picture of eating Jjajang-myeon on his instagram with "Only two of them keep eating Jjajang-myun, so I ordered and ate with my money, since eating scene appeals to my taste;-;" ( "총장님이 정환이랑 둘만 자꾸 먹어서 난 내돈 주고 시켜먹었음. 먹방땜에 짜장면이 땡겨서ㅠ") how cute he is!

As soon as getting well, I'll definitely have Jjajang-myun right away!!
