It’s always an honor to read the comments on my blog posts and discuss stuff that I love with other people who are passionate about it as I am. Occasionally that leads to blog nominations like this one. I never really follow up with these nominations because it’s just cool to be recognized by a fellow reader (Thanks Analogueblues!) but this one requires me to get involved by answering questions. Sounds like fun.

NINE LIVES OF A TIME-TRAVELING DRAMA
Newsman Park Sun Woo (Lee Jin Wook) is given nine chances to travel back through time to right the wrongs of the past. Through his journeys, he realizes that correcting minor things in the past veers his life in an unforeseen direction in the present.
The big thing about watching this drama was to see if the makers of Queen In Hyun’s Man figured out the time traveling genre to make it worthwhile to explore Nine. After having seen both, there are clearly some differences. Some things that were done better in the Queen In Hyun’s Man and some which were done better in Nine and this review will be making a number of comparisons.

Oooh, there was some good TV this week. The American TV season is in the midst of finales and one which I’ve been interested in is Scandal. On the Korean TV front, there is also an episode of Dad! Where Are You Going? that I have been waiting for since we’ve been introduced to some of the other family members of our favorite kids. I know, the two shows are quite different so I’ll start with the G-rated one first.

I loved Geeks’ debut album with their title song “Officially Missing You”. True, the song is a cover of Tamia’s song but the hip-hop duo added their own vibe to the song beyond just changing the lyrics. The song had a stronger backbeat and sounded less sultry than the original.
Since then, I’ve been an ardent listener of their music but it just didn’t strike the same chord as that first album. The songs weren’t bad but they weren’t good either. Truthfully, isn’t that typical of most artists? Maybe that’s why they decided to release another version of their biggest hit, this time featuring Sistar’s Soyu.

It’s a precarious time on the American tube right now. May sweeps and the news as to whether your shows will be returning for another season.
Usually I don’t really report on this but it’s worth noting that NBC is going axe-happy on quite a number of shows. Most I don’t even watch or care about and a few that I do.

She & Him isn’t the only American artist that’s playing on my playlist these days. Michael Bublé recently released a new album a couple weeks ago.

It’s been awhile since I featured something American. I have been waiting for the new She & Him album and it’s finally out. Looks like it’s gonna be an adorkable playlist this week.
