#fangirlproblems #1

(Starting a new blog corner)     I shouldn’t be blogging when I should be doing what any loyal and respectable fangirl should be doing: that is RTing or upvoting or clicking whatever thing it is on the Internet to ensure that CNBlue wins. Though to be honest, I’m not really sure how an RT…

CAN’T STOP… looping

CNBlue’s new mini album, CAN’T STOP, is technically my “first” album since I became their fan. I’m still such a newbie in every sense of the word and if we are to count the length, we’re talking here of barely three months.

[blog] Shippers Anonymous: the 12-step program

I was supposed to write this post last year, documenting my “rehabilitation” as a survivor of a sunken ship. But I’m glad I’m writing this only now because hindsight is always 20/20 as they say.

There’s Oguri Shun with BORDER, a detective drama, on Asahi.   (Source)   Then there’s Arashi’s beloved Ohmiya with dramas of their own: Nino with the baseball-themed KOWAKUTEMO KATEMASU on NTV and Riida with SHINIGAMI-KUN…

[blog] move over Kim Woo-bin, Ahn Jae-hyeon is here

Anyone who is watching MAN FROM THE STARS would have noticed this pretty boy who plays the rebellious, reticent younger brother of Cheon Song-yi (Jun Ji-hyun). He’s known in the drama as Yoon-jae but he goes by the name of Ahn Jae-Hyeon. Just like Kim Woo-bin, he came from the modeling world.     He’s…
