Back again with Big Bang! 01 October 2008


I am writing here after a long time, it's been about 6 months now. Ah! My taste in Korean music and films have changed by now and will change later on too...
I have gone back to my teenage years and in love with these cute Korean (boy)bands...hahaha...They are really talented and their music is good. Well they do have cheesy image but at the end their music matters and they are really good at it...

Big Bang tops my lists. It consists of 5 members. G-Dragon (20yrs) is the group leader and lead rapper and vocalist, TOP (21yrs) is the lead rapper, TaeYang (20 yrs) is one of the main vocalist, DaeSung (19yrs) is main vocalist and lastly SeungRi (18yrs) the youngest member is also the vocalist.
Ah! I love TOP. He executes a lot of charm...lol ;) DaeSung is next...
Daesung brings smile on my face. His song 'Gwinsung, look at me' shows his vocal talent and his funny side. It's a trot music which is a surprise turn because Big Bang is a heavy Hip Hop group.

There are other bands too which I like- SHInee, DBSK, Epik High, VOS, etc... Among these SHINee is relatively new band and the members are so young!
Rain/Bi/Jeong Ji Hoon is still my favourite but Big Bang (TOP) and Se7en is soon taking along his place...

There are many new films that I like now... The films mentioned in the old list are still my favourites so I won't change them... Yesterday I watched The Host(2006) and bits and parts of Oldboy(2005)...I didn't like the synopsis of Oldboy, its incest storyline grossed me out but I'll watch it for the direction and acting for which it is known. Bollywood version of Oldboy, Zinda was made few years back (shamelessly). The Host was superb and now I am watching critically acclaimed and Cannes award winning best actress film Secret Sunshine and at the same time My Piano(2006)...so far both are very good!
