Voting for the Mnet Asian Music Awards 2014 has started!


At the end of every year, Mnet hosts a huge award show in Hong Kong which features many Kpop artists. The troublemaker duo, Beast's Hyunseung and 4minute's Hyuna have had amazing highlight performance stages in past years. I've been watching MAMA live-stream at around 2am in the morning since 2012 x) This year however, SHINee isn't nominated for any of the categories, so I might just watch the replays later on. I will still be voting though so here's the link if anyone else would like to support their idol groups!
Vote for the 2014 Mnet Asian Music Awards here.
Here are the current standings for some of the categories so far (and who I personally am voting for):
Best New Artist: YG and JYP are battling it out with Winner and GOT7, but so far GOT7 is in the lead!!!! I love both groups, but I'd have to say I'm a bigger iGOT7<3
Best Dance Performance Solo: I'm actually voting for Hyuna's "Red," but Ailee is currently in the lead with "Don't Touch Me." Again, I really truly love both solo artists, but as for dance performance, Hyuna's Red is so much fun to dance to.
Best Music Video: 2PM's "GO CRAZY!!!" I agree with this LOL It's seriously the funnest video and dance ever!! I think this or Beast's "Good Luck" should also be song of the year because they're both just crazy good xD
Best OST: Right now Lyn is in for the win with her OST "Destiny" from the K-drama "You Who Came From the Stars." I'd say it's the cheesiest OST LOL, but I do love the drama<3 It's super cute and "Twilight"-esque.
Those are just some of the leading artists for now. The voting doesn't end until early December, so there's still time to vote for your favorite idol groups ^_^ Good Luck to everyone!!! May the awards be ever in your unnies and oppas favors!!!!

K-DRAMA: My Lovely Girl - Thoughts/Review on Ep.10

SPOILERS ALERT!!!!

So basically, for those who haven't seen it "My Lovely Girl" is a drama about two people who get to know each other through the combination of music and the loss of someone dear to them. The drama features Rain, f(x)'s Krystal, and Infinite's L. As a recap of the story, Rain's character Lee Hyun-wook was a genius musical composer for ANA entertainment company and had been dating So-eun, but she died in a car accident after arguing with Hyun-wook. Fast forward a couple years and we see Hyun-wook has closed himself off because he blames himself for So-eun's death, but suddenly one day he receives a phone call from So-eun's old phone, which he had kept after the car accident. It turn's out the call is from So-eun's younger sister, Yoon Se-na who is played by Krystal, and she seems to be stuck in life and has some money troubles, so Hyun-wook decides to go find her and help her. After finding her, Hyun-wook takes her into his company and because he takes care of her so well, Se-na falls in love with him.

In episode 10 however, he has begun pushing Krystal away because he's her sister's boyfriend and doesn't feel right dating her even though he has feelings for Krystal too. All while this is happening, Infinite's L who plays Shi-woo, a member of the play-on-band named "Infinite Power" under the same label ANA, interacts and falls for Krystal too. There's also Hae-yoon who's been in love with Hyun-wook since before he fell in love in So-eun, but she receives no attention from him. Of course there's so much more going on, but that's the main story line. So here's where my personal thoughts come in, I love Rain as much as the next Hallyu fan, he's completely cute and handsome in this drama as he always is, but I find myself rooting for Krystal to be with L because, as arrogant as his character may seem, he has a really sweet and sensitive side that makes it feel like he needs to be taken care of. I just love it when he says to her with a serious face that she makes his heart beat or something like that<3

Also, Rain still hasn't told Krystal anything about being her sister's boyfriend, but he keeps telling her that their relationship can only go up to here, which is frustrating because he made her fall in love with him after all this time and only now is he finally pulling away and accepting his consequences instead of realizing that he shouldn't have lead her on in the first place. That's k-dramas for you, but so far I'm enjoying the drama especially because of the beautiful OSTs and Krystal's acting.



On an additonal note, one of my favorite parts of this drama so far was seeing Krystal standing up for herself and slapping Shi-woo when he got out of hand instead of getting bullied by him or being pulled away by her wrist. Oh and Bestie's Na Hae-ryung plays the part of a stuck-up trainee so well. I really like Bestie as a rookie group overall so I'm happy she was able to play this part. Everyone else in the group is also super pretty and their songs are cute too so try to check them out!
