today's ballad > Lee Seunghwan '애원'

This was one of the songs that got me into Seunghwan's music.

It is called 'I Pray', or entreaty. It is track 6 from his 5th album 'Cycle', released in 1997.

I've had my far share of emotional and sad ballads, but so far this is purely heart wrenching you listen to sometimes. The slow melody, along with Seunghwan's sweet yet haunting voice really makes you feel the emotions of the masterpiece. The music video also stars one of my favorite actors; Jang Hyuk and Kim Hyunjoo! This music video was actually one of the works that Jang Hyuk starred in as a rookie. Then a couple years later in 1999, they star along side each other in one of my favorite dramas, Into The Sunlight!

Screencaps I've taken of them from the music video. Hyunjoo looked so beautiful here with this hairstyle and makeup, and Jang Hyuk with the long hair!

One of my favorite moments from this music video. I believe this scene really properly conveys the possible story of the music video.

In my opinion of a possible theory, I believe their characters used to be lovers.

As Jang Hyuk runs into Hyunjoo for the first time, he recognizes her while she stares blankly to nothingness, not knowing how to properly approach her. And then later in the music video, we realize that Hyunjoo is blind, hence her using a walking stick towards the end.

I believe this scene in the gif represents that even though he is there, she cannot see him, as if he doesn't exist (physically and emotionally).

He also realizes this towards the end, where they cross paths, Jang Hyuk staring so intensely at her, but she walks pass without noticing his presence. But this does not stop him from chasing after her at the end of the video.

It is a bit hard for me to listen to this song at times because it does really get me in my feels (lol), but everytime I watch the music video, I just love seeing two of my favorite actors in such a sad story. The lyrics are just as sad too.

Lee Seunghwan has many ballads that are my favorites, as he is of course one of my favorite balladeers.

It's so clear now that you are all that I have I have no fear cos you are all that I have

so i decided i wasn't actually all that happy with the background of this piece and redid it haha :'D

again, this is from a post-series Empty rescue plotbunny, it's yet another image of Dean and Cas in freefall (which is probs from watching too much Eureka Seven in hs), and have the soundtrack that is both inspired by this scene and acted as inspiration to draw this (mostly Snow Patrol's You're All I Have and Signal Fire being blasted on repeat):

(also how the FUCK do yall size your procreate shit for tumblr? i feel like everything i post looks like a pic i took with my first slide phone circa 2008... it makes potato quality look good *sobbing*)

I don't know if this is a report or more a edit suggestion for two things with this update.

We don't know V's name as they're attacking us, but after we wake up and get out of bed and find M and V talking the name's revealed. There's no introduction, it's just... there.

We can select their gender but maybe either during or after this paragraph:

>All you can focus on is a pair of hurried footsteps coming towards you and a string of panicked apologies before you drift off to the land of dreams.

You could edit in M saying V's name so the MC hears it before they blackout.

Next, the strangulation itself.

>She tightens her hold, fingers digging into your skin painfully.

This is going to leave a mark. A very visible mark, so maybe MC's outfit choices should always cover the neck, or the MC actively ensures they cover their neck, until said marks are gone.

That may mean a change on formal-wear choices. I don't think the dress-related options covers the neck area either.

I feel like a party pooper sending this, but I hope you find this appreciate/helpful.

for the name part, i’m pretty sure i had something written out about it in one of my drafts which i forgot to add in the final product 💀 my apologies, i’ll find it and send it to alby to be coded.

spoilers for this update: for the bruises, there’s a reason why there was a little sentence in the scenes (squint or you’ll miss it) where MC had their nosebleeds and it was mentioned that injuries and other types of bruises disappear way too quickly than should be normal.

obviously M knows that MC should not be moving around like that with a pretty spotless skin and barely a limp in sight after what happened. as for V, they’re not a very observant person in general and, bless their naïve heart, they’re just happy that MC doesn’t seem to be in pain anymore.

M’s keeping shush about it for reasons unknown, and V would rather not bring it up even if they take note of the weird vibe around MC.

I interrupt this month's Baljin posting with a long overdue Ko'jin/Malon post. Also a meme that's been in the back of my mind for a while coz it fits so many of my ocs, but I thought these two would be a perfect fit 👍

[witchw0lf]

Started rewatching Bebop with @taytaythefemboy and it has to be one of the best shows ever made. Jupiter Jazz II and Ballad of Fallen Angels have me in the weirdest feelings still.

Listen to both songs before voting, and define "better" any way you wish!

Random Steve headcanon!

Steve discovers 90s boy band love ballads and is a BIG fan of them. Why?

1) they are either raunchy as fuck or just lovingly sweet.

2) 90% of them are about cherishing your partner and giving THEM pleasure.

3) they're catchy good songs but also cheesy as hell.

Tell me that doesn't describe Steve and his style of carring for his partner 😩

Today's Ballad _ Lee Sora '난 행복해'

Today's ballad post is Lee Sora's 'I'm Happy."

It's is the 3rd track from her first album, Vol.1, which was released in late 1995. It is one of her representative songs.

I really love Sora's ballads, and her emotional and unique voice. She sings in such a way that you can feel the true emotion of the ballads. Her voice is almost like no other.

This is surprisingly not the first song I have listened to by her, but it is from the same album, I just can't remember the English title.

This song was also composed by Kim Hyunchul, who is also one of my favorite singers of the X Generation!

'I'm Happy', is another sad ballad. It seems that interprets the regret of loving someone, and not being able to let go of your love for them, clinging onto the happy memories that remain.

It is a bit heartbreaking...

Lee Sora's style really reminds of Lee Seunghwan's way of ballads. They both have unique voices that expresses the feeling of various emotions while singing with similar style of ballad themes.

She also looks soo beautiful in this music video. I loved her red pixie during this era.... As well as her style and makeup that really complimented her. She is just beautiful!

Sora is one of my favorite ballad singers. She is just so talented.

why does it feel like takes on this webbed site are either "coryo is just a misunderstood cinnamon roll who has never done anything wrong in his life" or "snow was born a fucking sociopath and should've been shot in the face as a child" with no in between

the funniest part is that both of these extremes do the same thing in effect: strip coriolanus of actual agency in his actions ("the bad people made him like that and he had no choice!" or "he was always evil from the cradle to the grave without an ounce of possible good")

Release: January 8, 1990

Lyrics:

It's been seven hours and 15 days

Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

I could put my arms around every boy I see

But they'd only remind me of you

'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you

I went to the doctor, guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said, "Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do"

But he's a fool

All the flowers that you planted mama

In the back yard

All died when you went away

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

Songwriter: Prince Rogers Nelson

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you
