Money Flower Fan-Video ~ All The Same To Me


 

 

The other night I was struck with inspiration after hearing the 2008 song “All The Same To Me” by Anya Marina. (And became an instant fan!) I’d watched someone’s tribute to their favorite Ladies of Film Noir from the 40’s & 50’s.

Money Flower has been on my mind this week and I thought the song would be a perfect match. There’s a definite gloomy noir theme to both the drama and the song that blend well. It’s jazzy and sensuous with a hint of pop fun.

For those unfamiliar with the term, Film Noir is defined as – A style or genre of cinematographic film marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism, and menace. The term was originally applied (by a group of French critics) to American thriller or detective films made in the period 1944–54 and to the work of directors such as Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, and Billy Wilder.

I love making videos so when that urge hits I jump on it and get into a creative zone. I didn’t have many distractions so I was able to create it in two days. Hopefully I’ll be inspired to make more Kdrama videos. I’d only made two many years ago for Chuno, one for Lee Daegil and one for Song Tae Ha.

My regret is that the Chuno clips were subpar because Youtube didn’t have full HD yet. I shudder when I remember the very early years with only 240p! You can watch the new video at 1080HD. Youtube and I aren’t friends these days as they’d removed a lot of my content for other fandoms. So here’s hoping they keep up my Kdrama videos!

SSBG Fan Video – Hot and Cold


Hi friends! I am learning how to use a new video editing software and what better inspiration than our Hyukie, right? I already had clips cut from Successful Story of a Bright Girl, because I had actually started this video on my old software (until it crashed and broke my heart!) so I decided to finish the FMV.

Its a happy coincidence, that July 2nd is the anniversary of Fated to love you premiere! so we can consider this my present to all Snail Couple fans. As you most likely know, Successful Story of a Bright Girl is the first drama our wonderful Jjangs filmed together. They were so young and adorable as ever! Their chemistry already great.

I used the song Hot and Cold from Katy Perry, because I think it aptly describes Han Kitae’s volatile personality. I hope you enjoy it!

Fated to love you – OST – Only You by Ailee


The official single will be released on August 12th. In the meantime, a fan put together this video, putting together pieces of the song that were played in the drama. She also wrote the lyrics. This might need to get updated once the official OST and MV gets released.

I can’t listen to this without crying, especially now that I know the lyrics.  The song vividly represents Geon and Mi Young’s feelings during the  episodes where they began to drift apart, starting with the amnesia and ending with a three year separation. This couple that only knew each for a few months but had already created a strong and profound bond that we all felt and fell in love with. Now what? We don’t know but from what the song suggests, they will not be able to forget each other, no matter how hard they try. It also speaks of the way they love, always thinking of the other more than in themselves, always enduring, stupid idiots! especially him, but I love them damn it! Ahhhhhh this could be so cheesy and corny, right?, but it’s soooo romantic and heart breaking because its THEM! Our Snail Couple! Our Jangs! I’m cryinggggg!!!!!

Lyrics english translation cred. Heidi Lyon

ONLY YOU  by Ailee (It’s not official yet but they are saying it is her)

I think my heart knows

It’s almost in my grasp

The yearning I cannot hide

Inside my heart, you are there

Oh you

Even if I can’t see you

Even if I can’t touch you

I’m still ok

Even if it hurts so much

Even if I cry

As long as you are happy, as long as you smile

The more I try to forget you, the more I miss you

I’ll shed more tears than I did today

Like destiny, even though you won’t return

You are the only one

Only you

Only you  can make me happy

The more I try to forget you, the more I miss you

I’ll shed more tears than I did today

Like destiny, even though you won’t return

You are the only one

Only you

Only you can make me happy

Just once, will you remember us?

I’ve tried to forget you but I can’t

My everything, that’s you

Like a moment’s goodbye

Goodbye, my love

It’s karaoke time! Fated to love you – OST – videos and lyrics


Let’s get the party started!

ftly_karaoke_geonyoung

I’m in love with Fated to love you and with it’s OST. Besides the official romantic ballads, which I might not love as much if it weren’t for the fact that I associate them with the story and our adorable Snail couple, I love all the meta and the music used in funny scenes, such as the horror music used when Mi Young went for a midnight snack or when Geon was trying to tame his “demon” while taking a cold COLDDD!!! shower. :p

Whoever is handling the sound in Fated to love you is doing a superb job. There have been many references to past works from the actors, especially Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara and also famous korean movies. Next I’m going to highlight the ones I remember but let me know if you remember others to add to the post.

Let’s sing along with these videos with lyrics in korean and english!

A good way to hook your friends on Chuno – Amazing MVs


All the emotions provoked by Zhaoul’s review of Chuno has made me wish that more people were turned into Chunoholics 🙂 All humanity deserves to enjoy this masterpiece. So, besides pointing everyone to Zhaoul’s review and also Kfangurl’s review, another way to entice new fans would be to show them some Fan Made MV’s.

I found a collection made by user TM Collection  on Youtube.  It has a range of themes and use the OST from the drama itself.
