Who's That South Korean Idol?

Not sure if "idol" is the correct term. I made this a few years back with the intention of making a game where the readers would try to guess who the person was given clues and the above picture. Doubt anyone will actually comment. If you do and get it right, I'll give you a mystery prize! *Oooh! Ahhh!*

Based on a quick web search, here are the facts.

1. Born in 1993
2. Debuted in 2008
3. Blood Type A
4. Used to lie to her dad, telling him that she lost her money to get more.
5. Auditioned 20 times
6. Wanted to become a singer since 7th grade
7. Dabbles in acting

Going Backwards

Just when I said that this place would be my everything blog, where I talk about whatever, I make a new one within a week; my bad. The thing is that I'm applying to graduate school for a Master of Science in Visualization and it was recommended that I have a blog of some sort. While I do have this one, I did not believe it was a good reflection on my artwork or refined enough to show to professionals. This place is where I spitball things, to get it out of my head. It's for me, not the pretty version that I'm trying to, in some ways, sell.

I'll go ahead and put the link here in case somebody actually wants to see what I create.

Without A Head 

Hopefully this will be the last social media account that I create...well, here's to hoping.

Skip Beat Episode 12 and 13 - Sort of Recap

Although Episode 11's sort-of-recap went differently than expected I'll continue to attempt explaining what happened in the episode with the screen shots I saved.

I think this might be the set of Dark Moon (one of the gigs that Lian and Gong Xi are working on). I don't know why he's dressed like a student, but there he is.

Gong Xi just found out that she's adopted!! ... kidding, she's obviously upset about something. Perhaps she's thinking, 'Why is Lian not looking at me, even though I could never ever like him. He's still not looking. Maybe he'll look now? Now? Well he can go to hell!'

Episode 13

"I'm only doing this because it's my job....wouldn't do this otherwise...nope...never....wouldn't happen."

"Just breathe. Everyone loves me. Everyone loves me. Everyone loves me...."

"We all know I'm the true main character. YUP!"


Summing episodes 12 and 13: shenanigans between Lian and Gong Xi, Shang pouts , and the manager steals the show in adorableness.

Skip Beat Episode 11 - Sort of Recap

Remember when I said that I had pictures for the remaining episodes of the drama, remember? Well I'm bringing them out now and will give comments on what I think happened!

Gong Xi is straight up tripping as she sees her fairy companion "Corn" from years ago. She's either dreaming or recovering from a head injury.

When you're a wealthy actor with a nice pad, being shirtless and drinking a bottle of water like everyone's looking is a must..

Maybe someone told Gong Xi she's acting a little too crazy?

Probably one of the many scenes where the two have misunderstood each other. Maybe Lian saw the previous picture?

I totally forgot that I saved these. I thought it was something odd and slightly humorous for Gong Xi to say, "I want Qin to feed me a hotdog too." while spying on her in the bushes.


And that's Episode 11! I thought for sure that I'd have some idea of what went down this episode from the pictures. All I got was that Gong Xi is still up to her usual shenanigans while Lian broods.

Laundry

   At the beginning of this blog I had a clear direction in mind, sort of. I was going to write about all the dramas that I watched even the movies, because I love analyzing things. For a short while I was a guest Korean Movie writer for Seoulbeats (this was probably two years ago, I'll list the articles below). I eventually quit, because it wasn't fun anymore and every week felt like I was writing an essay for class. Sometimes I wonder if it was the right decision, perhaps I needed a push. Looking at this site, over the past two years I've only come up with around 30 or so articles, not much.

   I created this place with the intention of writing about any movie or drama, no matter the origin, and not having to worry too much about grammar or somebody giving me the go ahead. It was my place. I always dreamed of becoming as popular as Dramabeans or any other mass Korean media sites. I'd check my stats all the time, watching the view counter slowly rise to 3,000. I discovered that a majority of the views were either from robots or people looking at pictures I've posted. I begged you guys to comment and as of now I'm at three. Not discouraged, I decided to expand my outlets, making a Deviantart and Tumblr account. I'm pretty sure I won't be using the Deviantart account, but on Tumblr I've got 4 followers and few likes, better proof that people are actually out there taking notice.

   So why mention all of this? Why go on and on about stats and popularity and being just like everyone else. Well, since creating my tumblr I've also made another one centered around lesbian fanart and the occasional fanfiction. I didn't want to turn away some of already gained audience with things that might not interest them. I have been thinking about creating yet another account to talk about my life and things and sexuality and stuff. Today it hit me; this place is mine. I seriously doubt anyone is reading this and though my page view counter is now hitting 8K, fuck it. I'm going to write about what I want.

   Clarifying things, I don't identify as lesbian or straight. Maybe I'm confused or in denial, but at this point in time I don't think it really matters what name I put on it. I tried the word bisexual when coming out, for the first and only time, to my best friend and it felt weird. I just know I like people and one of my favorite things in a person is when he/she seems nice, genuinely nice.

  To think this whole post was a result of wanting to post a picture of Hush Puppy from Beasts of the Southern Wild. I was contemplating if this was the right place to put it and the dread of creating more and more places to categorize where my things go was dreadful.

Hush Puppy

 

While I didn't LOVE the movie, I did find it memorable. I'd love to check back in on Hush Puppy years down the line.
