Faith (AKA The great Doctor)

I have started to watch k-drama again! And the last serie I watched were Faith (AKA The Great Doctor) from 2012.

As you can see one of the stars are Lee Min-Ho, and he looks awesome! Real eye-candy there girls! I usually don't watch that much of historical dramas but I really liked this one. The story starts with two time-lines, the one that Choi Young (Lee Min-Ho) lives in (around 14th century I think) and the modern days were Yoo Eun-Soo (played by Kim Hee-Seon) lives. Choi Young is escorting the king Gongmin and his new wife to Goryeo (Korea) after have been held hostage in Yuan (China) for several years. But during the trip they get attacked and the Queen is hurt badly. No doctor in that time are skilled enough to save here and as a last resort the king sends Choi Young into a strange "door" in witch the story says that a legendary doctor went trough to heaven. Choi Young ends up in the present days and somehow finds a convention for plastic surgery, there he also finds Yoo Eun-Soo. He brings here back to the 14th century against her will and this is the start of her adventure in the historical world.  

The drama is good even if 24 episodes is a bit of a stretch. I think it could be even better if it was shorten some, but it is still really nice with some really good actors.  The bad guys really gives you the chills and the protagonist feels really sympathetic. i really recommend the drama for people that likes a good story, nice acting and o course a gorgeous Le Min-Ho <3 

Some new kpop-videos~

Resently there have been some new MVs that I would like to share.

EXO - Wolf

I dont know if I love or hate it, but I do know that the "ulf"-part really is catching ;) 

CL - The baddest female

 

I don't know what I should say. It is nice seeing CL doing her own MV but... Somehow it is over the top. I don't like the video but the song have some nice parts. 

Lee HyoRi - Bad Girls (dance vers.)

 

I like this bad girl-video more than CL, especially the dance version with english lyrics. The song is catching and the video have a measage that I like. 

100% - Want U Back

I like the chorus in this one: Want u back girl!

B1A4 - What's Happening?

and finally some cute boys with a crazy video...

2PM - Comeback When You Hear This Song

I love this song! It makes me happy and hopeful even if the lyrics is kind of sad. I can also see myself walking a lot with this song in my ears, it gives me energy and I want to smile towards the sky. I somehow compare it to Big Bang's Blue because they makes me feel almost the same even if the songs is different. 

I like the theme of the video and the wardrobe as well. The guys looks cool and... Swag! I am a bit tired of that word but I can't find another way to describe it. The voices is good and is a big part why I get this happy feeling I get watching it. Taecyeon and his rap *sign*... I can feel his voice in my stomach! Especially when he tells me he loves me! Kyaa~

(and no, I am not usually a big fangirl of any group...)

The adding of the seven deathly sins was also a lot of fun in the video, I found myself searching for them. They added something. Like the "greed company" and the picture with Envy on it that describes the feeling in the scene. Such a good touch!

I think the only thing I don't really like is the six guys one girl concept. I understand that You can find different stories in the video and that they maybe end up differently depending, but still.... It feels a bit wrong.

PSY - Gentleman

It is hard for anyone to have missed that PSYs new video Gentlman is out. As his first video after Gangnam Style it has already got a lot of attention. The most usual though about it is that it is a catchy song and a funny video but not at all in the same class as Gangnam Style.

Gentleman have right now got almost 19000000 views and it is said that PSY now also got the "most views in one day on youtube"-record, a record that Justin Bieber earlier held even with the Gangnam hysteria. 

So what is the fuss all about? A lot of people is talking about how the video and song is lacking the deeper meaning, that Gangnam is famous for. It is also a lot of voices out there who is sad that it isn't Gangnam once again. To the first group of people I can say that somehow I can find a deep meaning even in this song, even if it maybe isn't done in the same kind of way. To all those who is sad because it isn't a replica of Gangnam I also say; If you want Gangnam, watch the old video. You cant make the same thing twice, and if you tried it would be totally ruined. PSY have still a lot of the Gangnam Style references in the Gentleman-video so you should find stuff there that satisfies you. 

So what do we really find in the video? If we shall start with the Gangnam-stuff you find a crazy PSY doing not so good stuff and at the same time makes you kind of like him. He spend times with this old people, having crazy clothes, doing crazy things (some really mean things) and at the same time have these hot girls surrounding him. You find once again a elevator in the video, this time it is Jae-Seok in his yellow suit that is in it, and by the look by it he really need to go to the bathroom. PSY also have one really famous kpop artist in the video dancing with him. This time it is Ga-In (or Gain) from Brown Eyed Girls and not HyunA from 4minute. Maybe best of all, you once again finds a silly dance to adapt.The dance is in fact taken from Brown Eyed Girls hit-song Abracadabra, well known for people that have  been interested in kpop for years. As you understand the video is packed with stuff and you have to watch it a couple of times to really understand and notice all of them. 

 

So is this video really nothing more than a silly video, and is the lyrics really as blunt as they say? I think it is some different ways to think when it comes to it but first I want to really remind you all that even if the video doesn't have a meaning more than that PSY is a party-freak, he isn't the only one with empty lyrics and a fast beat, a lot of the songs in the radio doesn't have a deeper meaning at all. 

If we still shall try to find something we have to lift the biggest thing about the lyrics thats up for discussion. It is the use of Mother Father Gentleman. Of course you can translate it as "I am a gentleman, you can let me meet your parents" but the worlds Mother Father is also used in Korea as a substitute for Motherf***er, something you cant openly sing about (or talk about on national television). If this is what PSY really mean with the chorus, then we have something to use. The meaning of the song suddenly is mor in the lines of "I am a bad boy who likes to party. You are so sexy. I can trick you and pretend to be a gentlman (who can met your parents) just to get what I want from you". I hope you understand what I mean? 

This makes PSY seem like a really bad guy and some would argue that this is not the meaning of the song because it would ruin his reputation. I just wants to remind you how many songs there is out there about sex and using each other, who is really popular!  You should also remember PSYs way of doing things. In Gangnam Style he sung about being one of those hypocritical people from Gangnam that works hard on there image by day but party all night. This would only be another way for PSY to show the bad behaviour from an inside point of view. 

I don't know if this is really the true meaning about the song and video, but it is interesting to speculate. What do you think? I myself is at least trying to not think to hard about it, I like the song, it is catchy, and I think that is enough. It is also fun that I kind of already know the dance to the video, I can stand up and dance right now! Here, I posted abracadabra for you who haven't already seen it. Be sure to check it out, it is really a classic!

On a side note I can tell you that I watched PSYs live stream of his Happening-consert in Seoul yesterday. That man knows how you keep the audience happy. You should really watch it if you have the time. He even got guest performances from 2ne1, Lee Hi and G-dragon and there were over 150000 watching over the live stream at the time.

B.A.P - One Shot

B.A.P, I missed you guys, but finally you are back with the right sound! No matter what I wrote last time, I really do love this side of you. Even after almost 10 days after the realeas I still like it as much. I havent had the time to write about it before now. Hopefully that is a good thing? 

One Shot isn't my favourite B.A.P song but it is still really awesome. This is the way I like them to sound. One of my favorite things about the video is that it is like a short movie. It tells a story about these awesom men that sacrefices there safetly. they start out in the airplane hangar looking as cool as ever. They start dancing to the B.A.P's heavy beat with a lot of heavy movements in there hands and knees.

Then they changes location to the garage, where one of the members is hurt by a drive by and they get a video of Youngjae being held captured and  getting beaten. The other gang wants money for there prisoner. The members are realizing there bad situation and they starts planing something  with a lot of maps, cameras and weapons. Hopefully they will succeed in getting the money and save there lost member.

They attack a money truck and even if they hurt the guards they got the money for the ransom. Then it is time for the exchange, the money for the gang member. The other gang then shoots the prisoner instead of letting it go according to plan and the gangs start to fire there weapons at each other. They all falls one after another, coughing blood and loosing there life. They fire one final shot to kill the other gang leader.

And here you have two different endings: the first one results in every member being dead at the end and the other is a rewind version where Youngjae reveals being an undercover cop and that all the members getting arrested by the police. Either one of the endings is kind of bad for the members and some fans believes that the whole story is that you only have one shot at life, it is important to make the best out of it. So don't get involved with gangs my dears!

The story is really massive if you ask me, I really like videos where you can understand the big picture like this, not just get a lot of different settings without a story. the thing I finds a little disturbing is the breaks in the video where you hear the change in the music. It matches the video well but if you, like me, likes to play the videos on Youtube and at the same time doing a lot of other thing, just listening to it, you get a bit disturbed when the song just stops in the middle a couple of times. But hey, a music video is for watching not just listening so I know I have to live whit it. Besides that I don't really have anything more negative to say. It was a good video and a nice song. Keep up the good work!

Jaejoong - Mine

The first time I listened to Jaejoong's Mine I really started to remeber why I love Asian music. It got me thinking about jpop (even when it is a kpop song) and everything I loved about Jpop back in the day. The dark theme mashed up with a beautiful piano, the wonderful symbolic and the heavy feeling. I didn't expect this from Jaejoong (not from many Korean artists at all) and it was a wonderful surprise. It is like one of those awesome anime intros that you remember for the rest of your life, not just because it is a good song but also how it matches the story and your feelings. I think this is my favourite song this far in 2013!

I am not going to write more about this song here, a lot of other people have already done so, but I really wanted to share it with the people out there who haven't seen the video yet. Be sure to check it out!

Boyfriend - I YAH!

I realized that I haven't done a real post about Boyfriend, at least not since I started to write in English. Maybe it is time? I think so, especially when the opportunity arises with there new music video for I Yah! 

I took me almost a week after its release before I watched the video, mostly because I have had a lot of other things to do, but I liked it the first time watching it. 

Maybe I have to turn back time a little and explain myself to you. The first times I got in contact with Boyfriend I didn't really like them that much. I Thought that they were just any other boy band out there with a couple of nice boys. Sure I heard there music but it wasn't more than that for me. But now I have started to realise how many of there songs I really frequently listening to. They are one of those bands that just creeps into your play-list and then they starts to take over the whole thing!

Another thing that I suddenly realised is how good they really are, they have only been active for two years and they sing and dances great! and judging by there new music video they also tries to not only be those cute boys but really step it up a bit!  

So the video and music then. The song is really catchy, especially the chorus. I got the I Yah in my head for life now! The dance is also cool with kind of easy but nice moves that matches the song quite nicely. At least they look awesome doing it with little chest-rubbing and leg-flipping. And don't forget the out-calling with the hands. And the arm dance where they almost touches each other!! Gaah!! *overheating*... (Sorry, something is wrong with me today >___< )

The lyrics is also nice even if some of it maybe is not that easy to understand. When I read it I get the feeling that there is this love story and that somehow it is painful. My first thought was that the song is about growing up and be capable to catch love, or the interest of the girl at least. They both want the girl to do the work (if you can say it like that) by suddenly realise that the boy are there, but there is also talk about how the boy will get her attention himself. Catch her in his hands. The story is an easy one, how painful it may be, and it is the same old story of unreturned love. But the video grasp that concept with the cute girl in school and I have to be happy about that. 

School huh? I understand the thought behind this as well. The band members aren't that old yet, yes the leader is born 89' but three of them are still 17, and they haven't been working for so long. School is a natural place for these young bands videos because it is appreciated by all even if I had hoped to see something different.  At least the band is on its way away from this pretty-boy-image, just look at the leather and studs in the dance-sections of the video, but then it is back to the school uniform in the story. I think these two clashes a bit with each other. Don't you? Maybe I have to accept it as it is and just be happy about the bad boy-feeling you get at the end when the boys grows up and is helping the girl. Standing up for her when she is in trouble, driving her home on there motorcycle... Yeah, I can appreciate that.

And then we have the whole all-members-and-one-girl-thing that I don't really know if I should comment or not. They did succeed with the story so it matches the lyrics but I still think that they could all be in love with different girls and still make it this good. Maybe even better. Different girls could have given the boys all a different story and could have matched with there personality's a bit more! but hey, that is my opinion and they made it work. 

So finally, what did I think. It isn't my favourite song of the year but it is rather cool. I like the way it easy get stuck in your head and the way it will be easily remembered. So it is really good even if it isn't the best video ^__^

B.A.P - Rain Sound

First I would like to say: welcome back B.A.P... or did I wish for to much? 

I miss the kind of sound that B.A.P come with in there debut last year. They had this hard, cool sound with warrior and continued that for a while. Then come Stop it, a song that got a long post on this blog from me.I thought that the song wasn't as cool as it should be and even if it is a nice song it doesn't really match my picture of B.A.P. 

I just watched Rain Sound a couple of times now and this video is also different. It is sad and easy whit this yearning lyrics and sound. Some of the B.A.P-feeling is back with the good rap and manly voices, but it is also filled with boyish crisp sounds and a pitiful feelings. 

Bang Yong Guk have some trouble to keep it civil!

Somehow I think the song is better than Stop It but the video is a bit dull. It doesn't have as much things to think about as Stop It at least. They are only showing the boys standing alone in a room and breaking different things; Burning a mannequin, trashing a chair, pouring poison in the flower water... and then this green rain falls over them (like poison) and stuff explodes and they get all shot in the chest... really a WTF-moment!

I like manly men crying as much as every other girl but I don't thing that is a theme that matches this bands image and even if it should be it is a bit dull to build the whole video on even  when the settings and the light matches really well. I myself would have liked a video that tells a story a lot more. The lyrics have a lot of thing to work from like the red umbrella, the heavy rain and the boys odd sad feelings lying in there beds and thinking about her. A girl in the video may have matched also in flashbacks ans such.

But instead we get the different metaphors for how they try to erase the girl from there mind (by burning, ripping, throwing it away) and at the same time trashing all of the things. (One other thing I was wondering about was the ambulance, what the hell are that doing there? did they burn down the whole place?)

Cute Zelo pour all his hate into the vase instead...

So the song is fully ok, not there best but ok. The video is a bit boring in my taste but I will still watch it a lot I think, mostly to listen to it. 

And Hey, I haven't told you to see my new playlist on Youtube yet, have I? I have a new one for kpop in 2013 so be sure to check it out! And of course you are welcome to add your opinion on this post if you like, I want people to write to me a bit more! Love you and see you later!

Kim Sung Kyu - 60 sec

I have a lot of different things going on in my life but I still have some time to listen to music. Now i also found some time to write about it (or found... I should be studying right now but this is much more interesting to do!). I have been watching and listening to Kim Sung Kyu's 60 sec a lot recently and is really falling in love with it. 

In the beginning the video is kind of hard to understand and a lot of different stories have been going around but I find one of them easier  to understand than the rest. The songs title is 60 sec and in the video description you can read "60'' taken to fall in love, 60'' taken to fall out of love" and even if the English isn't really right you can understand the meaning anyway; that it can take 60 seconds to fall in love but also 60 seconds to fall out of love. Right?  So the video is trying to explain this  by letting Kim Sung Kyu fall in love at the first sight with the girl. The time freezes and he can see their future in his mind. 

The chorus starts right there and the first lines can be translated to: 

"60 seconds is all I need for this story You came into my heart, I don’t doubt it" 

He then spend some time in the café thinking about how it could be, they being happy together at first. but he also realize that if they later on would break up it would be devastating, she turning him down by giving him back the ring. 

In the café he can feel the sadness from this imaginary future and leaves the ring and tries to leave before it is to late. The girl tries to give him the ring that she things he forgot and at the same time as he declines it she also falls in love and can see how happy they could make each other. She becomes sad over the future that will never be. In that moment they share a love story that never got the chance to bloom. 

Meeeuw! the video and the story is so sad and romantic an probably why i like it so much >.< The thought that a minute can make such a different is really appealing and at the same time devastating to me. It get me thinking what if about a lot of different things in my life...

Another thing that is important in the song and video is the way it tell a story about love as not only something great but also something sad when it ends. The end is so hurtful for all of us but at the same time it is the reason that love is so important. Think about it, love wouldn't be so wonderful if it wasn't so sensitive to everything else. One minute is all it takes to be over.  

So as you can see, the message is all it took to win me over for this song. but beside that Kim Sung Kyu sings really well and the song is both hopeful and sad. The lightening and the setting of the videos is also great and makes it easier to access the feeling of the song and the video. 

Of course you can criticizes some parts in the video, like how they portrait there happy-couple-times (a lot of the things they do in the video isn't something i would call really romantic, like poking each others forehead...) you can also criticizes it based on the story telling, you have to see the video a couple of times to really understand it. But I am a sucker for sad love-stories and thus I overall really do love it! 

A lesson about bullying

Yes, this week I started my first "internship" as a high school teacher, For five weeks I am going to make lessons and hopefully teach the students something. So today I was going to work on one of my assignments for next week but unfortunately I got stuck on Youtube instead. Maybe because I realized that there are so many good videos out there that you can use in the classroom as a way to make the subjects a little bit more interesting.

Anyhow, I was watching "Teens React" and one episode is about Bullying and the video made by Amanda Todd. Maybe you don't know her? Amanda Todd is a girl that made a mistake in 7th grade that hunted her for years, she was bullied and got sick and depressed. She made a video that she and told here story through notes for the whole world to see. she wrote about being followed by the bullying, trying to commit suicide and hurting herself. About a month after posting the video online she did committed suicide and the video got a lot of views.

This got me thinking. I would really liked to talk about this in class someday. Bullying is important to talk about as a way to defeat it and I would want my students to get active to prevent it. So instead of making the lesson I had to work on I made one about bullying instead. I am going to share these with all of you and I would get really happy if you used the idea!

Bullying

Video: Amanda Todd - My Story 

Intro: Start with asking the kids if they know about Amanda Todd and her video on Youtube, just as a way to start up. If no one knows her just let it be with saying that you are going to show them the video. If someone do knows just say good and show them the  video as a way to refresh there memory. 

After the video is done you hopefully can get some different reactions from the students. Maybe someone feels sad and maybe a couple of them don’t really know why this is something you show them. Now is a good time to ask them “what did you think?”. After some short answers you can inform them that one of the reasons this video has so many views on Youtube is because the girl really did committed suicide about a month after the video was posted online. This will hopefully get there attention and they are ready to discuss.

Questions to ask:

•  Why do you think she posted this video?
•   What do you think about the “friends” that followed her with their bullying? Were they really hoping for her to end her life?
• Could anyone have prevented this?
•  Why didn’t anyone do something?
•  Why do you thing that a lot of people online post comments to the video saying: “she deserved it” and “she was the one that made mistakes and killed herself”?
• Why did the video get so much attention?
• Can you see tendencies to this kind of bullying in your life? 
• what would you do if it happened to you? how would you feel?
•  What can you do about bullying?

After this you can make a follow up assignment for this class. Maybe you ask them to make something to show that they care about people, like writing a text themselves or together, they can make their own video and post online, find out information about who you can contact if someone is getting bullied or anything other just to spread the word. That way they get the inspiration to do something creative and at the same time learn something about bullying.Of course you can get a spin on the lesson just to make it fit the subject that you are teaching, a video or a text can be a language-assignment and not just about bullying.

B1A4 - Tried to Walk

 I haven't been that interested in B1A4 earlier, just listened to a couple of songs. But when I saw this video earlier today I fell in love.

Baro and the girl

The interest woke from the beginning of the MV. I love the bird cage, and all the flowers and the sun shining through the window and.. Everything. It is like a fairytale (and I love fairytales!). And out steps cute Baro and finds a girl in all that beauty. But he cant reach her really and then the song starts. Jinyong is really hot! I haven't really been interesting in B1A4 earlier, mostly because they always has this cute side to show, but in this video they are all kind of manly!

The first few lines in the beginning of the song is making my heart ache And then the girl is giving Baro his ring back and leaves and everything gets even worse. The song and the lyrics is sad but wonderful. It is about a break up and loneliness but also have this slowly growing positivity that the guy is also a bit relieved.

"I guess love is leaving,
it rides the wind and flies far away.
I guess everything is changing,
I guess you’re changing just like me."

These two different feelings is also represented in the video. they have cut together two different takes of Baro's single shots. one where he is dressed in shimmering light colors and the light is flowing on the set and the next take is dark and dead and the treas and flowers doesn't bloom. Personality I think i prefer the dark ones (maybe I am a Sadist?). I think they have more depth and feels more beautiful. If you watch the end these two personas get different endings but exactly what I am not going to tell you. 

So as you understand I really like the style and the symbols in the video, and the song is really sad and beautiful and hopeful at the same time. And the boys looks awesome! Maybe they could have put the other boys more in the story as well but at the same time I really like the way they tell the love story between Baro and the girl. This video isn't one of those all-members-on-the-same-girl kind of thing and that makes me really happy! This is going to go on repeat at home for a while I think.

Music for you

I haven't had so much time over for music this past week or so and not at all for making something good about it here on the blog. Every ounce of my energy is put into school work right now. But I want to share some new good kpop songs with you anyway and can hopefully make something nice for the end of the week. 

First up is B1A4's new video Tried to Walk. I saw this earlier today and then it had like 300 views. 
I really love the video and the royal romantic theme and the song is good to so hopefully I will be able to review it later on ^__^

I also wanted to post FIESTAR's new song We don't stop:

The last tip is also a prince-video. Boyfriend's new MV Janus. Check it out:

ohh, so nice with music. I really do want to take some of them apart and talk about it... Maybe I have to make some time for it! In the mean time  you can still watch all the MV's I add to my playlist on youtube.

B.A.P - Stop It

My mind is kind of divided over this video, I like the song and the MV but on the other hand I don't know if this is the picture I have of B.A.P. The song is sweet and beautiful. They sing about how the girl doesn't have to wonder if they like her, because as they have told "her" many times they really do, It is about insecure love and of how important love is. A song that I really think would fit a band like Boyfriend, or SHINee or something. I am not to sure about how this fit B.A.P's image? For me B.A.P is all about the rap and the revolution but maybe I can't let go of that picture they med with WARRIOR, Power and No Mercy an such, even when they want to develop something new? For me this isn't something new, more like big step back for the band, however good looking they are... I want something more from my boy-bands!

But as I said, the video isn't bad, it is kind of funny actually. For once they get the whole all-members-on-the-same-girl-thing to work in some way. It is like all the members is in love with the teacher and is competing for her interest.I have to confess I have some trouble to tell the boys apart but I think it is Yong Guk who is the "ghost" in the video, the one that the girl can't see. He try to sabotage for his follow members because they all is in love with the girl. Exactly what he is I cant decide but he at first got me to think about a normal ghost, he got hit by a car, but later on i also thought about a dokkaebi and a gumiho... But non of them fits as well...

Then maybe the woman is the one with all the magical powers? All the member get smitten by her in a magical way, she do blow something like fairy dust on them, and they got tamed by there love.... Hmm... Is this the reason for the sudden change in style for the band? They were really crazy and bad boys and then this magical teacher woman cast a love spell on them, so that they falls in love with her and want to show there sincerity by stop there mischievous behavior, even if it some continues withe there rivality over her?

and the tail grabbing part at the end? is that her final attack at the Yong Guk? She strips him of his last powers and rebelliousness? to "stop it"? and then he wake up in a white simple room and a feather falls to the floor? is she an angel? send from heaven to get the boys act together? does this mean that B.A.P here forth will have a new and nicer image?

so many questions.. but is it true then i don't know if the band will continue to be one of my favorites? even if the video was interesting with a deep meaning I don't like the change in style. We can hope that the angel spell will be put down in the next video ^__^

Want to see Iron Man 3

Iron Man is maybe on of my favorite superhero when it comes to all these new movies. Tony Stark has humor and he isn't your usual hero-material but he still got that pure heart no matter how he behave. Now the official trailer for the third movie is out and it looks promising, so long they don't overdo it with all the special effects...

Block B - Nillili Mamba

Block B rocks again with Nillili Mamba (and crazy pirate theme and lyrics)!

Eat Your Kimchi did a review on this video for K-pop Music Monday's already and I can't make something better than that but I still wanted to post the video on the blog because... well, I love it a little! The song is just spinning in my head. I like the dark and a bit heavy beat and the pirate-feel that they really did success to add! Maybe this can even be something my fiancé like to listen to? he doesn't really care about k-pop (just have to listen to it when I play loud music at home) but he do like pirates ;)

here are the Eat Your Kimchi-review (and if you don't really follow them, subscribe now. They are awesome!)

HyunA - Ice Cream

HyunA is back! She is maybe the most well known of the members of 4minute, at least for me, and she is really fun and sexy most of the time. The MV Ice Cream is one of the track of her new mini album Melting and maybe is the most talkative because PSY is a guest star in it?

But beside PSY's and HyunA's continuing collaboration I want to talk about the video itself. As you all can understand she is singing about ice cream! And not just that, the lyrics is about how she is changeable as ice cream, with a lot of different flavours and sides, and also that she is going to get someone to melt like ice cream. Easily put, she is going to be as hot and interesting that everybody is going to melt for here. 

the lyrics isn't really that sensational, a lot of girl band sing about stuff like this in a way of being sexy without saying the really sexy things out loud. I don't really know what I think about the lyrics, what can you be thinking? it is kind of main stream and the usual play with english words. It is not an important message, it is more shallow and I really don't like the way she sings for example about the diamond ring:

Ma diamond ring so bling bling
I’ll show you my sexy swag
One look at me and they all fall for me
You better surrender

  

It feels like she is a gold digger, she will show you here sexy side if you give here diamonds... Nothing I can relate to or like.   

The video then?  I hate the long intro, I almost always do. But I can understand why they wanted PSY in the video, he is really big right now and it is good PR to work together with someone like that. 

When the video begins I cant understand if they are serious or not. It feels like a parody with the colours, accessories and the truck and everything but then the dancing starts and suddenly it all become so serous again with the sexy message in the lyrics an all the pelvic movements. 

And then you see the furry steering wheel and the clown and once again you cant decide... Maybe it is both? a parody of being sexy or a girl being sexy while shooting a parody?... This is why I don't really like the video >___< 

And for being such a good dancer you don't really get to see how she is melting us with her dancing. The clean cut dance sections is mostly some hip hop steps and nothing more exciting than that. 

 

Though, there is one scene I do like in the video. Believe it or not but it is the most sexy shot, with HyunA bathing in bubbles. If you are going to sing about being sexy then you have to have these kinds of pictures, not just crazy accessories and heavy make up. The one where she is standing behind a mans body and caresses him is also really hot. 

Maybe it is time to wrap it up now? I don't have anything more to talk about I think... So I don't like the lyrics and not really the video either even if I do like sexiness... hmm... I don't know what that tell about me?...
