Comparable to: When the Camilla Blooms (kdrama);

Wholesome, beautiful, fluffy, and just top quality. It’s a short kdrama being four episodes with one hrs long each, so it’s very easy to binge right through the whole series. It’s a light fluffy romantic drama that focuses on bullying and healing. The main leads did an outstanding performance in their roles (chemistry is off the charts oof) as did the supporting, the child was so adorable. It’s a very nice hidden gem and definitely a recommendation to romance fans.

LỜI HỒI ĐÁP 1997: TUỔI MƯỜI TÁM VÀ NHỮNG LỜI YÊU CÒN BỎ NGỎ.

Tên tiếng Anh: Reply 1997 Đạo diễn: Shin Won Ho Năm phát hành: 2012 Diễn viên chính: Jung Eun Ji, Seo In Guk, Hoya, Shin So Yul, Eun Ji Won, Lee Shi Eon, Sung Dong Il, Lee II Hwa, Song Jong Ho.

Nằm trong chuỗi phim quay ngược thời gian cùng với những cái tên đình đám như Lời hồi đáp 1988, Lời hồi đáp 1994, ở Lời hồi đáp 1997, khán giả được quay trở về với cuộc sống người dân Hàn Quốc, đặc biệt là giới trẻ những năm 90 trong giai đoạn làn sóng Kpop nở rộ và những câu lạc bộ fan cuồng nhiệt ra đời,…

Bất cứ thời đại nào, tôi tin tuổi trẻ vẫn là khoảng thời gian đẹp đẽ và khó quên nhất mà chúng ta từng trải qua. Một trái tim chân thành và cháy bỏng dành cho những điều ta yêu – đó cũng chính là những tháng năm tuổi trẻ của nhóm bạn 6 người: Sung Shi Won, Yoon Yoon Jae, Kang Jun Hee, Mo Yoo Jung, Do Hak Chan, Bang Sung Jae.

Phải chăng tuổi trẻ khó quên vì những lời yêu còn bỏ ngỏ? 

Với mối tình đơn phương của Yoon Jae với Shi Won và những cảm xúc không thể gọi tên của Kang Jun Hee thì có lẽ là như vậy. 

“Vô tình gặp nhau trên đường. Lấy cùng một cuốn sách ở thư viện. Ai đó vào che nhờ ô của tôi. Tôi cứ nghĩ tình yêu phải đặc biệt như thế. Nhưng nó không giống như tôi tưởng tượng.”

Những thổn thức đầu tiên của trái tim đến thật bất chợt. Bỗng một ngày, bạn nhận ra cô bạn lớn lên bên cạnh mình từ thuở bé cùng cắp sách đến trường xinh bất ngờ, như khoảnh khắc mà Yoon Jae rung động trước Shi Won khi cô tháo kính cận. Hay sự âm thầm ngưỡng mộ Yoon Jae của Kang Jun Hee đã lớn dần thành mối tình đầu từ khi nào mà anh cũng không biết. Điều này làm tôi chợt nhớ đến câu hát trong bài “Chuồn chuồn” của Tùng: “Tình yêu diệu kỳ đến thế/Tôi có trao đâu mà tình yêu bắt đầu.” 

��Có một Yoon Yoon Jae luôn hướng về Sung Shi Won

“Yoo Jung tỏ tình với tớ” “Tớ nên làm gì đây” “Tớ không nên hẹn hò với cậu ấy à?” “Tớ không nên hẹn hò với cậu ấy à?” “Bảo tớ đừng hẹn hò với cậu ấy”

Tuổi trẻ của mỗi người đều đã từng là Yoon Yoon Jae hoặc có cho mình một Yoon Yoon Jae không thể quên. Yêu thầm cô bạn thân và nhìn thấy cậu bạn thân của mình dường như cũng thích thầm cô ấy, Yoon Jae lúc nào cũng trưng ra bộ mặt “u sầu” trước mặt Shi Won. Cậu bật đèn xanh và ra tín hiệu mọi lúc có thể nhưng vì quá thân thiết nên Shi Won chẳng bao giờ để ý. Dù tỏ ra thờ ơ, luôn cãi vã nhau nhưng Yoon Jae vẫn âm thầm quan tâm cô, thậm chí còn không màng đến bản thân mình. Cậu luôn ghi nhớ mọi thứ về Shi Won từ những điều nhỏ nhặt nhất. Ước mơ từ thuở bé của cô là động lực để Yoon Jae quyết định vào Học viện Không quân. Khi đàn ông bày tỏ với cô gái mình thích tức là anh ta đã chịu mạo hiểm không gặp cô ấy nữa. Và Yoon Jae cuối cùng cũng quyết định đặt cược ván bài tình cảm với cô gái mình thầm yêu…

“Mối tình đầu – tình yêu tươi xanh ai cũng hết lòng ca ngợi. Có lẽ thứ tình cảm ấy tươi đẹp không phải vì nó là mối tình đầu, mà vì nó chứa đựng cả một thời thanh xuân ngây thơ, nhiệt huyết mà không ai có thể quay về được.”

Lặng thầm một mối tình “câm”

Thời niên thiếu, có những mối tình câm, tình thầm mãi mãi chôn chặt trong trái tim. Không biết bắt đầu từ khi nào cũng không biết đã kết thúc từ bao giờ. Có một câu nói như thế này: “Hoa nở là đẹp rồi, tại sao nhất thiết phải biết nó thuộc về ai.” Kang Jun Hee lặng lẽ bên cạnh Yoon Yoon Jae suốt 6 năm, dù biết chuyện tình mình sẽ chẳng bao giờ đơm hoa kết trái nhưng đối với cậu, chỉ cần được nhìn thấy người mình thích đã là sự đáp trả ngọt ngào nhất khi yêu đơn phương. 

“Lý do tớ thích cậu… Lý do tớ thích cậu là gì ư? Bởi vì đó chính là cậu. Chỉ là cậu mà thôi. Còn lý do nào khác nữa sao? Giá mà tớ biết được…làm thế nào mới có thể ngừng thích cậu. Nhưng điều đó tớ không thể tránh được. Tớ chỉ mong duy nhất một điều… Mãi ở bên cậu như một người bạn…không hơn.”

Cùng nằm trong chuỗi phim nổi tiếng của đạo diễn Shin Won Ho, thật khó để không đặt cả 3 bộ phim lên bàn cân so sánh. Tôi chưa xem qua Reply 1994, nên ở đây chỉ nói về Reply 1997 và Reply 1988. Cá nhân tôi cảm thấy cả 2 bộ phim đều chứa những giá trị ý nghĩa riêng dựa trên thời gian và trải nghiệm sống của mỗi người. Ở Reply 1988, bộ phim làm tôi xúc động trước câu chuyện của người khác: tình cảm gia đình, tình làng nghĩa xóm của khu Ssangmun Dong và đặc biệt là nó tái hiện lại những ký ức rất hồn nhiên, trong sáng và vui vẻ bên bạn bè. Còn ở Reply 1997, tôi lại thấy thân thuộc và chạm tới cảm xúc nhiều hơn vì nhìn thấy ở đâu đó có bóng dáng câu chuyện của mình. Chúng ta đã từng là những Sung Shi Won, Kang Jun Hee và Yoon Yoon Jae,… đều có khoảng thời gian tuổi trẻ vô tư và nhiệt thành như vậy. Ta sống hết mình với tình yêu cho hiện tại không cần biết sẽ nhận lại điều gì, có lúc thấy bồi hồi trước những cảm xúc chưa dám gọi tên, có lúc dũng cảm chạy theo tiếng yêu đầu đời, nhưng cũng có lúc loay hoay không biết mình sẽ đi về đâu. Lời hồi đáp 1997 lấy nước mắt người xem còn ở việc khai thác rất tốt về khía cạnh tình cảm gia đình khi con cái bước vào độ tuổi 18 quan trọng của đời người nữa. Nói chung là rất đáng xem đóoo! Phim nào của đạo diễn Shin Won Ho của làm mình tốn nước mắt hết.

Six Flying Dragons episodes 43-45

Sambong’s thoughts and my thoughts are the same. Think of Sambong’s orders as my own. Ngl Taejo this is some Alexander and Hephaestion level romance! But it’s really tragic how Sambong has become the kind of checkless power he sought to eradicate. At least he looks pretty in his new uniform.

Bang-won’s fake act of seokgodaejwe LMAO. He even squeezed out one perfect tear before giving Sambong the cuntiest little smirk I have ever seen. Also Ha Ryun’s facial expression when they’re reading the envoy decree is the funniest scene in this show so far, he’s basically purring in the middle of the state assembly

The way Yeon-hee keeps lighting up like a lantern in the beginning of ep 45 🥺 please I just want my sneaky spy girl to be happy

Rip Eun-ho, rip Young-gyu, and rip Cheok Sa-gwang’s neutrality I guess. Bang-won’s voice breaking when he says hyung? hyung? did not leave me unaffected.

Aaaand here we are, our murder prince coming full circle. Haha so I suppose my faves are all gonna die now :) I am feeling unwell

BOSS RIIZE, Episode 10: The semi-vengeful, kinda-mean-but-not-really Rule of BOSS 5

We are back. Tensions are high. Snails are cooking. For breakfast. Grab some Pepto-Bismol and let’s power through this.

The first words we hear are from Won Bin: “I’m dreaming of a coup.” THAT’S how you kick off an episode.

Everyone arrives at the barbecue area for breakfast. BOSS Sung Chan commands, “Bring the food now.” Chef Anton announces the meal of bibimbap and snail soup. He and Shotaro start prepping the ingredients while Eun Seok gripes, “So all you’ve done so far is catch the snails?” Is he always like this? Even when he’s not on this show?

Anton and Shotaro figure out how to cook the recipes they’ve pulled up on their phones. They’re having such a hard time of it, the BOSS has to help. Eun Seok actually helps peel potatoes. “You should have just made scrambled eggs, not this,” he grumbles. Wait, scrambled eggs were an option? We can see a dozen eggs sitting on the table with the other ingredients. What the hell, you guys?

“Today’s breakfast is vegan,” says Anton, who is currently preparing a meal with snails in it. “Good idea. We had a lot of meat yesterday,” Sung Chan says without a trace of sarcasm, while I bang my forehead on my desk.

Anton has to pull out his phone again to look up how to chop a zucchini. Eun Seok gives up and starts making the bibimbap himself. The others start frying eggs for this vegan meal.

Time for more Korean mukbang. Everyone enjoys a huge breakfast, even though it must be late afternoon by now. We don’t get an extended eating scene this time because the drums and dramatic music start playing. Someone has successfully pulled off a coup! The crew announces another election will be held. Sung Chan has only been the BOSS for about 12 hours, and he spent most of that time sleeping.

We find out the culprit was Shotaro. Before breakfast, he went straight to the crew and said he wanted a Mission Coup. I can’t believe it wasn’t Won Bin. Shotaro’s mission was to make the BOSS say the title of a drama or film at least three times.

We get flashbacks showing the awkward conversations Shotaro had to start to get this to happen, and the fact that Sung Chan never catches on tells me he deserves to be overthrown. Eun Seok doesn’t catch on either, although he does ask if the Mission Coup is making the BOSS prep the ingredients.

The voting booth is set up next to the table. Eun Seok’s eyes are darting around the table, wondering if he can set up an instant alliance. Dude, I’ll be shocked if anyone trusts you again. But he still tries. He tells So Hee that he’ll be exempt from being a worker in exchange for his vote. So Hee knows better than to commit.

We zoom in on Anton and Won Bin, neither of whom has been BOSS yet. No time for them to negotiate. Voting is starting. Won Bin says he’s desperate for revenge against Eun Seok. Then dude, why didn’t you stage the coup? What an embarrassing bias you turned out to be. So Hee even tells him, “If you don’t get it this time, just give up.” Not only should So Hee be the BOSS again, he should be Leader of the group. Won Bin says he doesn’t care as long as Eun Seok doesn’t get it. There’s some serious bad blood here.

The crew announces the winner, who got six votes. Everyone voted for him. It’s … Won Bin. I don’t know how, especially since Shotaro staged the coup in the first place, but fine. It should be fun to watch him take his revenge. He signs his letter and gets the budget, which now totals 300,000 won ($229 USD) because Sung Chan didn’t have time to spend any money.

“Yesterday’s sorrow will be released today,” says Won Bin. He immediately turns to the job of selecting the workers. Eun Seok can’t even look him in the eye. But according to the crew, Eun Seok did vote for him. He had to know this would happen. His motives make no sense. I’m guessing the crew rigged this election because everyone in the group has to be BOSS at least once.

Won Bin decrees that Eun Seok will be the only worker. WOW. I kind of like this petty look on Won Bin. Eun Seok’s first task is to clean up breakfast by himself. The others leave while Eun Seok makes plans to be the next BOSS. I can’t believe they all just left him there with the camera crew. All he has to do now is ask the crew for a coup assignment.

We flash forward to the whole band going to the creek to hang out. Won Bin gets a chair, umbrella, and coolers of snacks. Everyone else has to sit on the rocks, except for Eun Seok, whom Won Bin orders to stand.

Won Bin opens one of the coolers and is excited to see patbingsu, which is a red bean paste on shaved ice. Korean people must be the healthiest people on Earth. While several of the band members put the ingredients together, Anton grabs a raft and plays in the creek, which looks way more fun.

Back on shore, Won Bin is being very generous with the food, even sharing with Eun Seok. These guys just had a huge breakfast, and now they’re eating fruit and donuts and bean paste. I don’t know where they’re putting it.

They go swimming right after eating a metric ton of food. Out of revenge, Won Bin has Shotaro flip Eun Seok’s innertube and push him into the water. They’re all having fun swimming, and I’m just waiting for the Jaws theme music, because I know SOMEONE must be attempting a coup. But no, this is where they end the episode. With everyone happily playing and splashing in the water.

I predict the next episode will begin with the attack of a vegan snail army, who will have foolishly joined an alliance with Eun Seok. Grab your parsley garlic butter and join me there.

New girl groups to shake up K-pop scene

Story by Dong Sun-hwa

Following the dazzling success of K-pop girl groups like NewJeans, IVE, Le Sserafim and aespa, a wave of new girl groups are set to arrive this year, seeking to bring a breath of fresh air to the scene.

K-pop powerhouse HYBE, home to the Grammy-nominated boy band BTS, plans to debut a five-member group, ILLIT, on March 25. It consists of Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee and Iroha — the winners from the 2023 audition show, "R U Next?" which was co-produced by HYBE and cable channel JTBC. It gathered viewers from more than 180 countries, according to HYBE.

ILLIT is the third girl group to be launched by HYBE, following NewJeans and Le Sserafim, who started their careers in 2022. But all three of them are represented by different sub-labels. ILLIT, for instance, is managed by Belift Lab, home to high-profile boy band Enhypen.

"ILLIT is the combination of the phrase, 'I will' and the word, 'it,'" HYBE said in a statement. "As its name implies, ILLIT is a group that boasts the potential to become anything it wants."

The quintet's debut album, "Super Real Me," will be released in two different versions: "Real Me" and "Super Me." HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk reportedly took part in the album's creative process.

"We are so happy and thrilled to make our much-desired debut," ILLIT members said through HYBE. "We will continue to display our growth, so please give us your support and love."

The Black Label, an associate company of YG Entertainment that gave birth to K-pop sensation BLACKPINK, is also scheduled to unveil a new girl group in the first half of this year. The Black Label was founded by producer Teddy Park, who was behind the success of numerous K-pop hits such as "Whistle" (2016) and "Shut Down" (2022) by BLACKPINK.

Although The Black Label said details will be disclosed later, speculation is rife that a granddaughter of Shinsegae Group Chairwoman Lee Myung-hee — the youngest daughter of late Samsung Group founder Lee Byung-chull — will be joining the new team.

The speculation surfaced after she was spotted in a series of photos showing The Black Label's idol trainees. The pictures, which immediately went viral, also feature American model Ella Gross and dancer Bailey Sok — who crafted the choreography for girl band aespa's songs "Savage" (2021) and "Illusion" (2022) — at a place that appears to be a dance practice room.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, K-pop behemoth SM Entertainment is poised to present a new girl group, approximately four years after creating aespa in 2020. SM CEO Jang Cheol-hyuk said on YouTube in May that the label was preparing to produce a multi-member group.

Whether Na Ha-eun, a YouTube creator who signed an exclusive contract with SM in 2022, will be part of the new team is of utmost interest among K-pop fans worldwide. Na used to upload dance cover videos on her channel, "Awesome Haeun," but she is inactive these days. Her channel, however, still has more than five million subscribers.
