I didn’t have any song lined up for this week’s “Beautiful Lyrics series,” and so this week’s featured song comes as a special request from a reader. I’ve already featured this song once before, but as I agree that Jo Sumi’s “If I Leave” is one of the most beautiful (and saddest) song pretty much ever, I think it is worthwhile to introduce the complete lyrics.
Sorry for the delay! I really need to have a better grasp on how detailed I want to make these summaries because they’re becoming quite lengthy. I paraphrased some, summarized some, and directly translated others, but for the first chapter, I directly translated a lot of the dialogues to give you a better sense of the speech style of the characters. As my chapter one summary became too long, I decided to dedicate its own post to it.
Yes, the Twilight franchise is upon us in Korea. But Chilling Romance is putting up a good fight.
And also, I realized that posting just these box office rankings may mislead many people. Korea has a much smaller market, and a movie ranking in the top ten may not have much significance. In general, a movie has to rank at least within the top three to bring in enough numbers to be considered remotely successful. There is usually a huge difference between the numbers brought in by the number one film in the box office from that in number 10. To give you a better idea of how the movies are actually faring, I will include the ticket sales information in this and all future “Weekend box office ranking” posts. Hope that clarifies any confusion!
After a two-week hiatus in the “Beautiful Lyrics series,” we’re now back to our regularly scheduled program! And really, Kang San Eh’s 1992 debut song “Raguyo” is the perfect song to be featured in the series’ “comeback” because it is one that needed two other songs to be first featured in preparation for its own.
Both Yun Jung Hoon and Joo Sang Wook currently star in their own crime investigation drama on cable channel OCN – Yun Jung Hoon as a vampire/prosecutor in Vampire Prosecutor and Joo Sang Wook as a detective in Ten. But finding clues and the bad guys is not the only thing they share in common, as they were also seen wearing an identical leather-lined trench coat on their shows.
After five years of dating, actors Yoo Ji Tae and Kim Hyo Jin finally tied the knot on December 2 at Seoul Jangchoong-dong’s Shilla Hotel. I’ve always thought they radiated so much love together, and it warms my heart to hear that their love led all the way to marriage. Of course, marriage takes a lot of work, and I wish them the best for a long and blissful one!
