Kpop in January 2016

“Kpop in” is a series I hold where I tell you what the three best kpop songs of the month were. Here is the best kpop of January 2016!

1. Dal*Shabet – Someone like U
   Dal*Shabet is back after losing 2 of their members December 2015 and honestly, they’re rocking without them. I prefer their new song over all their old music. “Someone like U” is a catchy as fuck song with a very powerful lyrics about getting over a horrible boyfriend and hoping that he falls in love with someone like him. Plus the MV is so fun!
   Favorite line: I don’t freakin’ need you
   Band bias: Woohee
   Signed with: Happy face
2. Suzy ft. Baekhyun – Dream
   Dream is the collaboration song with Suzy from Miss A and Baekhyun from EXO. The song is very jazzy and I feel like it would be perfect background music for a small café in Paris. It’s just a lovely song to daydream on.
   Favorite line: Well I don’t care if you’re just a sweet liar
   Bias: Suzy
   Signed with: JYP Entertainment (Suzy) & S.M. Entertainment (Baekhyun)
3. Joonil Jung ft. BewhY – Plastic
   I had never heard of Joonil Jung before and I still don’t really know anything about him. I don’t even know what company he is with. But what I do know is that Plastic is a beautiful and emotional song that I keep listening too!
   Favorite line: I don’t wanna die without you

Until my next post,
Stay Nerdy!

Best kpop of January 2016

Dream High 2: a Wattpad story come to life

She was his biggest fan. He transferred to her school. They fell in love…. No, this is not a One Direction fanfiction, but the plot of Dream high 2!

Dream High 2 is the sequel of Dream High (A Korean drama series). It’s set years after the events of the original story and follow a completely new cast of characters that attend Kirin High school of Arts.
The story stars with the introduction of a new law, which forced underage kpop stars to attend school and five kpop stars end up at Kirin. One of them is JB, the main characters (Shin Hae-Sung) idol/obsession. And from the moment the two meet, there is a special kind of spark between them.

Personally, I loved Dream High 2. It is cheesy as fuck, but in a way that it works. But maybe my love for it is based on JB who is played by.. You guessed it, JB from the band GOT7. This whole show is literally a GOT7 fanfiction brought to life. And that is something that every fandom deserves.

Even though this whole thing was a fanfiction, I didn’t like Shin Hae-Sung and JB together. I preferred JB with his ex, kpop idol Rian. I believe Rian and JB had much more chemistry and a more healthy balance in their relationship. And it helps that Rian is my favorite character, I love her development from a bitch who thinks she is the best to a humble(ish) person who works hard to become the best. It was just beautiful to watch!

Just like Dream High, the center of this show was a love triangle. But Dream High 2 took it to a bit of an extreme with four different love triangles, it got so bad that even the other characters in the show complained they were tired of love triangles and just wanted people to fucking chose!

The original Dream High is better than the sequel, but both are lovely to watch! And a little bit painful… I like that both shows are centered around character development and music. It gives you a new insight in the world of kpop idols and for me, it made me glad that I’m not a idol…
I would recommend you watch both shows, if you love kpop or not. Because does it really matter what race the actors are if it’s a good show? I think not!
