Shim Eun-kyung is leaving for the states

Just a few days ago, I was reminiscing her acting in her previous work, The Legend and the reason I am going to watch Great Merchant Man-deok because of this girl. She is moving to Pittsburg to pursue her high school education, not that I have anything against her decision. It’s just that, aw.. the industry lost another young talent actress and I lost my favourite child actress.
Shim Eun-kyung had obviously made the most rational decision given she is only fifteen-year-old. Seriously, fame never last. One minute you are on top of the charts, the next you may be gone from the industry. Plus being a celebrity takes away all their privacy as their lives are pretty much open to the public. So for her age now, I would say education is what she needs most and going aboard to study can give her the cultural experiences.
I look forward to her return to acting when she grows into a more mature lady.
MV to Cinderella’s sister

Before I go fan crazy how soothing this song is, I would like to comment about the drama. It’s interesting how the MV introduces us to the four characters in the drama, which is a twist of the original Cinderella fairy tale. Instead of Cinderella, the drama focuses on her stepsister, acted by Moon Geun-young while Seo-woo played Cinderella. From the MV, it seems like there is going to be a four-angled relationship, again. To be honest, four-angle love plot is kind of old…
MV teasers, what do I think of them?
They are created to
- make you go screaming “OMG, they’re having a new single/album~”
- start counting down (mentally) to their comeback
- tell you the concept they are using for the new single/album
- eventually, it’s a marketing ploy to make you buy their albums (if you’re the die-hard fan)
I have selected a few that were released this month. The best teaser of this month, I would say it goes to Lee Hyo-ri with her coming fourth album H-Logic. This is so Hyo-ri like. Although I”m really a fan of her songs, I love the comic strip effects and colours they use in the MV. Jjang!
A glimpse of new drama ~ Dong Yi

I was supposed to start on Merchant Kim Man-deok after seeing Shim Eun-kyung (I liked her from the time she acted in The Legend) is cast as the young Man Deok. KBS world channel was showing the BTS of her and the other guy, Do Ji-han, whom I believe is relatively new in the industry but have heard others sing praises of him. He is the one who acted as the young chap in Will it snow at Christmas? Anyway… After all those hoo-ha… I went to download Dong Yi seeing that the episodes are already up. What a fool. Read More…
