Under the queen's umbrella

Genre: Historical drama

Episodes: 16

Starring: Kim Hye-Soo, Moon Sang-Min, Yoo Seon-Ho, Yoo Sang-Hyeon, Kim Hae-Sook, Oh Ye-Ju

Synopsis: Queen Hwaryeong is supposed to act with grace and dignity, but she has sons who are troublemaker princes. She gives up on those protocols and she struggles to change her sons into eligible princes through education.

Positives: It's really beautiful and sweet drama. The queen is really the main star and she steels the show for herself. She is the best, I was rooting for her and her sons a lot. There are beautiful costumes, amazing soundtrack, cute and also sad moments This show has everything.

Negatives: I really have a problem to fully understand the relationships in the royal court and it took me few episodes to familiarise myself with all the characters. I also wasn't that impressed about the romance part, but it's not the main storyline.

Conclusion: Very good costume drama, perfect balance between classical historycal story full of intriques and feel good drama about family, motherhood and love.

Action: 6/10 Romance: 6/10 Intriques: 9/10 Blood: 4/10 Whump: 5/10 Friendship: 8/10 Emotions: 9/10 Humor: 7//10

TW`s na bio: acidente, coma. Biografia:

Hyesung foi uma criança que cresceu rodeado de amor e liberdade para ser quem era. Seu pai, Sungsoo, sempre fez muita questão de que o filho entendesse muito bem o conceito de liberdade desde muito novo. Também lhe foram dadas algumas responsabilidades, como sempre proteger sua irmã, mesmo que ela fosse mais velha que ele. Na escola, não chegava a ser o melhor da turma, mas sempre tirava notas satisfatórias para passar de ano. Também era sociável na medida do possível, já que passava mais tempo em seu mundinho de super-heróis ou jogos.

Cuidou para não ultrapassar o que consideravam “normal” para um hobbie e também para não se tornar um esquisitão na visão dos colegas, mesmo que os amigos dificilmente o julgassem. Ainda na escola, começou a praticar esportes e por conta disso, se interessou por alguns, como futebol, taekwondo e até mesmo dança. Não era difícil ver o garoto tentando revezar os clubes na escola, mas nenhum havia de fato arrebatado seu coração a ponto de se dedicar totalmente e deixar de lado seu hobbie principal.

A vida seguia simples e sem qualquer complicação, quando do dia para a noite seu pai se acidentou no trabalho. O traumatismo foi tão grave que Sungsoo acabou ficando em coma por mais tempo do que Hyesung se lembrava e com isso, o jovem precisou assumir um papel muito pesado para sua família, ao qual não tinha nenhum preparo. Conseguir um trabalho mesmo que de meio período ficou fora de cogitação, já que estava estudando para as provas finais. Além de dedicar um tempo para ajudar sua mãe, Eunju, que fazia turnos extras. Tudo ficou muito exaustivo para todos naquela casa, e ainda mais com o dinheiro apertado, Hyesung não via nenhuma saída a não ser esperar por um dia melhor ou apenas quando seu pai acordasse.

Com o tempo, a empresa que Sungsoo trabalhava começou a ajudar financeiramente a família e com isso os trabalhos extras de sua mãe foram diminuindo. Sungsoo ainda não dava nenhum sinal de que acordaria, quando em outro belo dia uma mulher bateu na porta da família Kim, exigindo ajuda financeira para custear a criação de seu filho. Foi nesse dia que Hyesung descobriu ter mais um irmão, um ano mais novo que ele, e que seu pai levava uma vida dupla, com outra família. Descobriram também que Sungsoo, na verdade, era o gerente na empresa onde trabalhava e ganhava muito bem, mas sempre dizia ser um valor muito abaixo da realidade. Seu pai acordou algum tempo depois, e nesta fase o garoto já estava se formando na escola.

A mãe precisou aprender a engolir todos os sapos do mundo ao entender ser justo depositar uma quantia mensal do dinheiro de Sungsoo para a outra mulher, mais por conta do filho. Também, começou a usar esse mesmo dinheiro para quitar dívidas e custear a universidade e uma moradia em Acrópolis para o filho. Hyesung optou pelo condomínio por ser um lugar até próximo de sua casa, por conta da mãe que ficou encarregada de cuidar de seu pai com sequelas e também porque gostou muito do apartamento no Tártaros que viu. Sabia que a qualquer momento tudo podia mudar mais uma vez, mas agradecia pela reviravolta da família ter um lado bom. Agora estava focado em se tornar um bom arquiteto e custear suas despesas básicas até se formar, mesmo que levasse uma vida boa preferia trabalhar para custear alguns luxos e se distrair, conseguiu um emprego como auxiliar de produção na Sugary Nymph e estava feliz com isso, Hye era apaixonado por cozinha e quando viu essa oportunidade foi atrás. Quem sabe morando sozinho ele realmente aproveita a vida.

malpabo:

It’s a Shinhwa Liberation Day that we’ve waited for quite a long time. I hope our hard work and actions will become even the smallest amount of firepower and present to everyone’s daily life. Although this is something that the Shinhwa members and Shinhwa Changjos have wanted for the most, the  Shinhwa Company employees have worked hard, feeling upset like it is their own matter, and have suffered physically and mentally. A day that is brought about through a long period of waiting and hard work!

Shinhwa, Shinhwa Changjo, Shinhwa Company, applause to all! Clap clap clap! Everyone is awesome and I’m so proud of you all~

Good night everyone!

K-pop Discography Deep Dives: SHINHWA (Part TWO)

We left off just after a break-through hit in Perfect Man, and we’re now…still in 2002, oh my god. I hope they got some sleep. I was expecting Wedding to be another sentimental, sweet ballad, and I couldn’t have been more wrong. It begins with a hard-hitting hip-hop verse and then the absolute whammy of the line: “why did I have to meet you when you’re the bride at my brother’s wedding?” It’s the mother of all “the one that got away” songs, and I confess that I liked it far more than I expected to. I’m honestly impressed by how dramatic it is, because everyone needs to rhapsodize to the stars while wearing a shirt that’s ~~artfully~~ half unbuttoned at least once in their life, right?

Deep Sorrow is the ballad that I was expecting Wedding to be, and it’s quite sweet, especially the “if only I’m by her side, I could be anything…I would even be a street light, if only I could see you walk home”. Again, I don’t have that much to say, but I appreciate this one more than their other ballads because of the lovely lyrics.

From the album, Wedding, I enjoyed the great harmonizing and springy beat of Hiway, the whispered intro of Lost In Love, the ethereal “maybe you like me, you like me too” from Soulmate, the catchiness of “Get Up” (though I could’ve done without the sound effects), and the harmonizing (ah, my one true love!) in You. I have to say though, this album isn’t really for me, since it’s very ballad heavy, but SHINHWA do have great voices. Sidenote, the AAVE overload has returned in 79, with an amount of swearing that’s just trying too hard to be cool to actually be cool.

Young Gunz had me concerned from the title, but I was surprised to see that the song is actually about the strength that someone close to you gives you to keep going; I admit that went “awww” at the line “everlasting friendship in my life” and felt the urge to call my best friend. Though it’s not a song I see myself replaying often, as the style of slowed-down hip-hop isn’t normally my thing, I do appreciate it, and it was nice to see them have fun together when k-pop videos now are so often highly produced. I do want to point out though that in the English spoken-word sections, the way that they’re speaking is very reminiscent of AAVE (African American Vernacular English), and I’m not certain what to think about that.

From the album, Winter Story 2003, I liked the spoken word intro Let’s Start (and especially the laughter, which was a nice change of tone from the Wedding album), the smooth R & B of Mistake, and the slight electric guitar in The Days. Again, though, like the last album, this is quite ballad-heavy and overall, not for me. I did appreciate the spoken songs though, of which there were many.

And with Brand New, we arrive at another music video where they’re inconceivably shirtless, though at least this time it starts with such an over-dramatic slow-motion intro complete with an orchestra and very bizarrely dressed female dancers that I could get in some good laughs. As is fitting for 2005, this song felt much more reminiscent of the 2nd gen k-pop I’m familiar with, and is obviously going for attraction both with its styling decisions (or lack thereof), the very…uh, let’s say….hip-thrust heavy choreo, and the way the beat slinks along. Despite all my making fun, though, I did actually quite like this one, and it remained stuck in my head for a good day or so after, especially the cathartic high note.

Angel, though it’s from the same album as Brand New, initially seems as different as possible, with a sunny, relaxed beat that’s at odds with its dark music video. Then, the song slowly gets darker and more desperate, giving the vocals time to shine and blossom into what’s quite an emotionally affecting ballad. I wish it had been so obvious about its style from the outset, though, as I think it would be stronger that way. 

Something I noticed when watching this video especially is how..normal they look? SHINHWA was in their mid to late twenties, and they look pretty normal for being that age. But with k-pop idols that age now, they look practically the same as when they debuted, and I’m not sure if that is due to better quality videos, SHINHWA being a notable exception, or changing beauty standards, but I thought that it was interesting.

From the album, Brand New, I enjoyed the punchy pre-chorus of Shooting Star (though I could’ve done without the quite cringy “I’m a gangsta”), the harmonizing in Crazy, the easy-going beat of Time Machine, the layered vocals in Liar, and the acoustic guitar mixed with the flute in I Want. Side note, I was caught incredibly off-guard by the very religious “My Everything”; not sure what that’s about.

How Do I Say is more relaxed than many of their songs have been thus far, and though it’s somewhat a ballad, it’s guitar-driven and overall feels much more low-stakes than a lot of their more angry music. I really enjoyed this one with its “how do I say, I love you baby?” It may just be a better quality recording system, but their voices sound very good in this track, and I really enjoyed the harmonizing especially. I’m still not the biggest fan of a random rap verse shoved in there, but with the harmony in the background, I didn’t mind as much as usual. I watched their 18th anniversary performance of this, and I admit it, I was won over seeing them have so much fun singing together.

From the album, Winter Story 2004-2005, I liked the background vocalizing in Rain On A Sleepless Night, the lyricism in Red String, the catchy 60’s (?) beat of On A Night Like This, Lyn’s feature in Erase All Of Time, and of course, the drama of the hilariously-titled Painfully Loving You. This, unsurprisingly, was another ballad-heavy album, so not my favorite.

Hey Dude starts differently to a lot of their songs, with a sprightly, springy guitar and some quite catchy hand-clapping that’s a nice contrast from how quiet the last two albums have been. The music video I was watching was a behind the scenes cut and so I had a very similar feeling watching it that I did to Young Gunz: though it was nice, it’s not something I’d replay often. From the album, Summer Story 2005, I liked the energy of the intro, but I don’t have a hidden gem for the rest as it’s mostly new versions of their previous songs. I did enjoy the Rock & Roll version of How Do I Say though; it really complements the song’s strengths and gives it a 70’s feel that I’m absolutely in favor of.

Once In A Lifetime is a ballad if ever there was one, and is made to spotlight their voices, which it definitely does. It’s a very heartwarming and gentle track (“once in your lifetime, fly to the stars”), which is about what I expected, so I don’t have much to say about it. I still don’t understand why so many songs insist on having a rap in every one, though, because I know they can all sing and rapping isn’t needed in a song like this. You’re My Everything is also a very standard ballad, and though Once In A Lifetime distinguishes itself, this one falls into the “pretty but forgettable” category.

From the album, State Of The Art, I enjoyed the strong background vocals of Thanks!, the surprisingly hard-hitting beat of Doobob, the catchy underlying hip-hop of Paradise, Ivy’s voice mixing with SHINHWA’s in Highway Star, and the gentle warmth in Chance.

I was expecting Snowy Night to be another ballad in the vein of You’re My Everything, but I was pleasantly surprised by how upbeat it actually was. It has a jazzy undercurrent with some lovely strings and excellent harmonizing , and another behind-the-scenes music video of them fooling around that definitely got a few smiles out of me. 

And here’s where we’ll leave off for part two! Please enjoy the picture above of the SHINHWA members dancing at Eric’s actual wedding in 2018! Let’s hope no one fell in love with their brother’s wife this time. I had a feeling (call it intuition) that this was going to end up being a three parter, and here we are. Tschüss!

💜 a ship that you like but have never written for before! >:)

thanks i went insane about this (bstars ending spoilers + suicide cw)

💜 surprise kiss / impulsive kiss

When Seil slinks out of the hospital at half-past eight in the morning, he isn't expecting an ambush.

"You're not hurt!"

He instinctively pushes away from the attack, only for the words to sink in. He's not being strangled, he's being hugged. It's still weird, but it's not entirely unwelcome.

"Tae-yeon... How long have you been waiting here?"

Tae-yeon Kim is probably the only person in the world Seil thinks he can call a friend. Prior to last night, a few other members of the Top 5 could have qualified, but not anymore. Those bridges are nothing but ash.

She lets go of him and takes a step back, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Ever since you were airlifted out. Soon as I found out what hospital you were taken to, I... I had to make sure you were still alive."

Seil's neck prickles. Of the seven people trapped in the collapsed stage site, five survived. Hyesung's in surgery and apparently Do-yoon's in a much worse state than any of them thought, but they should still live.

"Hey," Tae-yeon says, her eyes crinkling around the edges, "let's bail. We can talk more somewhere private."

"I can't go home," Seil mutters, tugging on the strap of his messenger bag. "My parents... They won't be..."

She rolls her eyes. "Obviously. You can crash on my sofa for now. Min-hee won't mind; they're too busy doing damage control with the rest of the staff to notice, honestly."

Seil doesn't feel up to arguing with that. They take her car -- a plain, scratched up sedan -- back to her apartment, and she doesn't force him to talk on the way. He's too busy running through the events of the night in his head, trying to pinpoint the exact moment when everything went wrong.

When they get inside, Seil sits on the sofa and cradles one of the decorative pillows to his chest. Tae-yeon brings two cups of herbal tea in after a few more minutes of silence, and sets it town on the low table.

"Is it true?" she asks finally, trepidation dripping from her words. "One of the light techs caught wind from the rescue team that... that Gyu-hyuk's dead."

Seil clenches the pillow tightly. "...Yeah. We took our eyes off him for a minute and he... he hung himself."

Tae-yeon gags on her tea. After struggling to swallow it, she rests the mug between her thighs, no longer looking interested in it. "Oh my god. That's... Right at the end...?"

"He didn't leave a note," Seil says, but it feels like a lie in his mouth. He'd seen Do-yoon clutching scraps of paper, white knuckled and shaking, but that's not proof of anything. In any case, Seil has a sinking feeling he knows what the note would have said.

Silence again fills the apartment. Eventually, Tae-yeon clears the mugs -- both cold and neither more than a few sips from full -- and Seil rests his head on the sofa arm. He's exhausted, but the thought of sleeping feels foreign.

(He shouldn't be here. He needs to turn himself in. It's the only way to absolve the sins festering in his rib cage.)

"Tell me what I can do to help you," Tae-yeon says softly when she returns from the kitchen. "Even if it's just to leave you alone for now."

Seil shakes his head and, impulsively, reaches for her hand. "Stay. Please. I'm... I'm afraid."

Delicately, she presses her lips to his fingers, and settles down beside him. "Okay. I promise."
