Abuela's Song of the Day (Feb 23)

Minho - Heartbreak https://youtu.be/xRLou1OngWQ
cw: aggressive flashing, arson, breaking The Matrix, destruction of yet another car

As noted in a previous Kpop Monday, SHINee are terrible with cars, as Minho demonstrates in this solo comeback. That lovely car didn't deserve this fate, dammit. XD

#Feb3 #day6 Most memorable line?

I provide no context because that would be a spoiler, but quite at the beginning of my Korean learning journey I understood the line without reading the subtitle and I laughed so hard I remember it to this day.

#ChoiMinho is an amazing actor, I hope he gets a lead role someday!

Drama: Lovestruck In The City

#LoveStruckInTheCity

MINHO is back with his first studio album, 'CALL BACK', along with a MV for the title track!

ngl, I'm starting to get suspicious that he's building out a storyline with his solo MVs. Why is he always on the road ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿง

Romance in the House
(2024 - Netflix, 12 1:00 eps)

A story about a divorced mom & 2 adult children. The dad had many failed businesses & put the family at financial risk, so they cut him off & he disappeared for 11 years.

The daughter became the head of the family, making for an upside-down relationship with her mom. The son takes after Dad & causes trouble. When Dad appears suddenly financially successful, everyone wonders how he did it & rumors abound.

The leads were all good. It was nice to see relationships between older people & a young romance. The set & costume designs had beautiful colors. Responsibility seems to be the theme - too much or too little & we watch as they navigate setting boundaries & maturing & forgiving.

The writing is okay. Don't expect revelations, but it's a fun, easy, pretty watch.

I need to stop watching dramas with #JiChangWook because I can't help but binge them!

A light and funny #kdrama with the main couple meeting during a vacation. The other couples are interesting as well.
I particularly liked that the cold and distant person is the FL, a role typically played by the ML.

The cast is absolutely fantastic. Other than Wookie #KimJiWon (#FightForMyWay ), #KimMinSeok #SoJooYeon (#DrRomantic ), #ChoiMinHo โค๏ธ...

Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth

This watch was even better! The episodes seem 5 minutes long.

I had watched originally for my Park Hyung Sik & Park Seo Joon quests. Now I see so many familiar faces. The acting is top-notch.

For BTS fans, this was V's acting debut & he won an award for Best Idol Actor that year.

I paid much more attention to the music (which I loved before, but now I see the contribution to the story & love that 3 of the actors sang tracks).

Now that I've seen several historicals, I appreciate the costuming here - the details are gorgeous.

Not to mention over the top swashbuckling fighting in silk robes, sweet moments, funny, seasoned actors, & shower scenes.

I think this will continue to be a holiday tradition.

Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth
(2016 - Viki, 20 1:00 eps)

For a holiday treat, I rewatched Hwarang (1st watched in March '23 - just 6 months into my kDrama hobby).

I'll put the summary here & my thoughts in a comment because I ran into a character limit.

It's a story of political intrigue. The Queen Mother sends the crown prince into hiding for his safety. He never develops the relationships he needs to take power & doesn't have confidence in his ruling abilities. Through a new group of young warriors (the Hwarang), the future king discovers himself & his abilities. There is a lot of comedy, but the political story takes over the last 3 - 4 episodes. There's bromance & romance. Watching the friendships develop between the Hwarang is one of my favorite things.

Hwarang

The names of just a few Hwarangs are recorded in history. Not many people these days truly know about Hwarangs. How did they start? How did beautiful...

100% this. He was amazing. I too went & looked up his other stuff.

I have "Tell Me What To Do" from Shinee on my playlist (it has Han So Hee in her first acting role). I will listen to this - thanks!

I watched "The Fabulous" because of him & although it was cute, I didn't feel any chemistry between the leads there. I need to go look up his other stuff.

PS: If you haven't watched, the BTS for Hwarang videos are very cute.

Following the impression left me by #HwarangThePoetWarriorYouth #ํ™”๋ž‘ #kdrama I've looked at #ChoiMinHo #์ตœ๋ฏผํ˜ธ 's work.

I'm not a fan of #Shinee however Min-Ho's solo discography is remarkable.
This MV was directed by him. Therefore he was involved in every step from the composition to the performance and without leaving out the video direction.
