i don't need a man!

NEW OBSESSION ALERT:

Seriously, watch this video. It made my whole night. And I think I've finally found ~my girl group. Fei (the one with the curly hair) is my QUEEN, but all the ladies seem super awesome! (I already loved Suzy because she played this absolutely wonderful hbic character in Dream High. That drama was just decent, but her character was GREAT.) I was bouncing along with this song on my way to work, it's so damn delightful.

Lyric translations here. What I love about this song is this is a woman who says, "I don't want to be a burden to my parents [note: ONLY IN A KPOP SONG], so I work really hard for what I have, and it may not be a lot, but I know how to be content. I can live well without you so you better not be all talk, you better take this seriously." I find that really delightful.

Also: I am FOUR ICONS AWAY from reaching my limit. This is distressing to me. That's too close for comfort.

but she's so human and the show loves her and lets her grow and mature as a person without ever punishing her for the fact that she's a bitch? I'm such a TROLL. Every time I would try to watch this show with my Roomie I would STAN the hell out of everything this precious girl did (it was the one kdrama where I didn't buy that the mean girl is just mean to be mean - there was SO MUCH MORE going on!) ... but Roomie would scoff at me and convince me otherwise and list off all the ~bitchy until I just didn't want to watch anymore. Maybe I'll give it a go again during the Holidays when I have more free time.

Apparently BTD is some sort of ~allegory about the Korean school system? I've heard that before! And I gotta say - love the Vampirism too much to let it go. #shameless dork

BROWN EYED GIRLS KICK ASS First kpop crush was on this band. Every single one of them.

And Sixth Sense is my FAVORITE video of theirs even though I also have no idea why they're starting their revolution. MINE TOO - Only I think that it's about being tied to things/expectations or being trapped? The girl chained to the microphones and having to deal with a press conference makes me think they're talking about their own lives - plus the "sex kitten" trapped in a giant litter box; the girl in the pool/drowning = "beauty in death" - possibly even a rejection/symbol of anorexia (starvation/thinness/death/beauty all being tangled up and women get trapped in it); and then the girl tied to a chair... is the Femme Fatale? IDEK OK? I spend A LOT of time trying to figure out this video.

No I haven't!.... and I got about halfway through before I realized - CAN'T really watch this at work. But of what I saw? I want this girl for Christmas.

I STAN HER SO HARD. And you're so right--there was tons of layers of motivations for her. I kind of can't believe they created such a great character in such an otherwise just-okay show. I mean, it's one thing when like SUFBB creates a fabulous character--you expect that. But Dream High? That show didn't deserve her.

And I gotta say - love the Vampirism too much to let it go. #shameless dork

I KNOW.

I thoroughly approve of your kpop crush on BEG. They are amazing.

Now I've got to go watch Sixth Sense again when I get home! I need to analyze it more!

Yeah, that video's not the most NSFW but it's kind of mindblowing!

But Dream High? That show didn't deserve her. le sigh - I sort of got that sense from it. Shame on them!

And I gotta say - love the Vampirism too much to let it go. #shameless dork || I KNOW. WHY ISN'T THIS A THING?

Now I've got to go watch Sixth Sense again when I get home! I need to analyze it more! IT'S SO FULL OF THINGS!!!
