(Sorry, it took me a bit because I only had Internet on my phone)
CNBLUE will have a new Japanese single ("Lady") on the 31st, have you heard about it? The teaser's out and it's making me miss that concert SO MUCH.
I'm consumed with jealousy of every Asian country that got to have them in concert already. :/
So, don't be jealous of me, I guess you can never see them enough, it's not like one time will heal you from wanting to see them. ^^ Why are they so far away?

Destiny is awesome, dramatic, I can't wait! I don't know what else to say than: I know I'll love it. ^^

So you seem to have a similar taste as me, J-Hyo and King, what a coincidence. :D The rookies can be mean and make you change it within a day... but I think it's good to have a member who caught your eye the most. We'll see whether we stay with J-Hyo (or in my case perhaps King a bit more) when their next comeback is out.

There are more than enough CNBLUE songs to choose from, I guess... and if one catches your attention and you work hard, I think it's possible to learn it. :) And the sound is always quite clear, I think they'd be a great goal to achieve (I myself only learnt to play "Arigatou" and "Love Girl").
Thank you! I wish you good luck when practicing, too!

I don't know whether I'll make it into the university I want, I'm still in the application phase and have to take an entrance test (writing a short essay) in political science... if everything goes well, I'll study in Tübingen, quite in the south and near Stuttgart, if you know where that is. Almost in Switzerland, so it's quite far away, but I've been there and I loved the city, it's kind of made for students.
The other options would be Frankfurt, Trier (near France) and Heidelberg (an hour away from Tübingen).

Ring Ding Dong was weird at first, I agree. I liked Lucifer because of the dance and then... I ended up loving both. ^^ I can totally understand that you liked hand-made music much more in the beginning... I was sceptical, too, though I was slightly older (17) when I discovered it and thought, "Well, music is music, just give it a try".
It's good that we still gave them a chance, I think, seeing they're so high up on your list of favourites and I gradually love them more, too.

The Jonghyun feels... he really is hot, I can't deny it. And I agree that Minho doesn't rap well, but then again, most of SM's rappers are amateurs and just get their lines to make fangirls scream. ^^ I still like Minho as a person, though, I don't even know why (No need to worry about cursing, I think it's because of the Englih).
A Super Show in Germany would be sooo awesome, let's dream on for a bit. ^^ <3

I feel better writing English, too, so it's great we can agree on that and just continue to avoid German smoothly. :D
I know these kinds of German fangirls sooo well, they really annoy me. And they can get so over-obsessive! It's disgusting sometimes. I prefer to stay cool about it and just fangirl by myself or with a few really good friends who're into Korean underground music and used to the whole thing. ^^ The scene itself is too scary, I guess.

You're from Hamburg, oh, that's awesome! I was there once, I loved the city! And I'd hope for a concert there, too... but I suppose only Berlin is well known enough for it. :/

I feel a bit ambivalent about SM sometimes, even now that I like most of them and would probably call it my favourite label (just because of the singers I like).

It was the best concert of my life until now... if I forget about how ill I felt and how long it took to get there. :D They're definitely worth it... though I guess, I'll save money first, as well, and rather see them in Korea, if they only come to London this time. It was a great atmosphere but I think it'd be even better to see them in their own home country. ^^
You should watch Arirang's Secret Box with LC9! It was short but so funny... and they haven't exactly destroyed my bias list with it. But they're really cute and talented. :)

(und hier geht's weiter, weil das Wortlimit doof ist ^.^)

Jonghyun only recently made it up to the top three for me, so I haven't been a fan for that long but I think, the concert and I'm Sorry were decicive. And those variety shows, oh yes. His constant grin is just addictive. :D
The concert was a really tiring but also extraordinary experience, for real. I've been to London before and luckily, there was a bus tour that day and a friend of mine agreed to come with me. It was still stressful and I was sick before, too... but the moment, the concert started, it was all forgotten. They're really good live and it was kind of a small concert, as well, I liked that. <3 But I do hope they'll stop by Germany on their world tour now.

The School 2013 episode of Running Man is amazing, you should try it! I started watching the drama now finally, too, and it's good to fangirl over. ^^

First things first: You're from Germany, too? Which part (<- ich bin aus dem schönen Niederrhein ^^)? God, these coincidences... Then why are we still writing in English? xDD

Well, I don't mind it... K-pop is so international I almost don't feel comfortable discussing it in German, so we could as well continue it. ^^ It wouldn't feel polite to anyone reading our profiles either.

SHINee are really charming, I know... I just never cared about them a lot, I don't know what. But they're seriously getting more interesting, I don't know why now of all times. Maybe because of Taemin's Trap feature or because they seriously make better music. And they've always been funny, so yeah, what happened to you may soon happen to me. :D

Big Bang was one my first groups, too, cool! You've liked everyone except for my bias, hehe... I like Seungri, but the others really all have they're charms. :)

Bonsoir à toi! :)
Je suis d'accord qu'on écrive en français de temps en temps, je l'aimerais. :D
But I feel much more comfortable with English, I guess... I'm happy you read the whole profile! I guess then there's lots to talk about, I'm looking forward to it! I seem to have grown a habit of just sending friend requests in the last few days. But I immediately noticed that you like Nell in your profile, too, and it's really a relief to find people who adore them as much as I do. :)
I found out about them last year and have downloaded all of their albums now, they're just too amazing! "Ocean of Light" was such a great comeback. Do you have any favourite songs by them?
I'm glad you like the gif, Eunhyuk's my 2nd favourite and I just loved that picture, they both look so good. <3
I have yet to watch Barefoot Friend but I've heard a lot about it, it must be hilarious. :D

I think I prefer the bromance over the romance, too, but if a drama has great romantic scenes, why not? ^^ It would just be great to watch an alternate version of the whole thing... there won't be a sequel anyway, so something with a similar setting but more love would attract my interest for sure. ^^
CNBLUE's world tour is enough, I think, and I'm positive they'll do a real tour, not like the usual "Asia plus the USA, MAYBE". :) I really hope they'll come to London again, I was there last time and it was awesome... I think I'd spend some money for them once more. :D
There's not much to stalk about for some of the rookies. I just like SPICA a lot and watched All The K-Pop with them... I think I mainly like them for their music/voices, you really can't obsess about them.
As for LC9, well, I saw the nice covers and two interviews, and so far, I guess... a tie between J-Hyo and King. ^^

I'll wait for your opinion on the J-rock then... but they have lots of good songs, so take your time. ^^
CNBLUE can be reeeally hard to play, but I found that some of the chords are quite okay, you can usually look them up online, if you don't know them, and some are fairly easy with practice... I don't know whether you want to practice 2 songs at a time, though, or whether you love CNBLUE THAT much.
Barre chords are hard, I agree. :/ I still have problems with them sometimes because my fingers are too short. :D
By the way, I forgot to answer one question, I think: Yes, I do have lessons but only for one more month, then there's a summer break and I plan to move after that, so I'll quit then and just try to continue practicing on my own for a bit.

As for Leiden, I wish you good luck and hope you have fun! I've been to the Dutch coast a few times, it must be a great place to study. :)

Ah, Leiden... that's near the coast, right? I'll be moving to another part of Germany in autumn for university (there aren't many offering Korean Studies here either, so I'll choose depending on which uni accepts me) and I guess I won't be near the border then anymore but still, it's nice knowing there are drama and k-pop fans living not so far away now. :)
It's great that you want to check out the J-Rock bands - tell me what you thought of them, if you want to, I'm curious. ^^
You're on your summer break cool, yay. :D
And "Blue" isn't too easy, at least it has more than three chords and that's not always easy as a beginner... but I'm sure, if you practice, you'll get better and may try other songs, too. CNBLUE's, for example, are sometimes surprisingly easy, "Arigatou" was the first one I tried and it's ok to learn quickly. :)

(Well, no space, so I'll finish the post quickly)

I've been playing the guitar for 9 years now, but I took some breaks and I'm really not good. I can read notes and play melodies and some solos just fine but I'm not talented. I've also never played in a real band which I regret a lot.
You should keep it up, definitely, it's all about the fun! :) Especially once you can play sooome of the k-pop you usually listen to because it's not as complicated and you can find the chords online.

Wow, you're from the Netherlands? That's great! We're even somewhat close neighbours, I think, since I'm from the West of Germany.
And you want to study Korean, I just read it in your profile, as well... how cool is that? Have you graduated yet? And are there unis for that in the Netherlands, or do you plan on studying abroad?
Your musical taste is diverse, that's why I like it... you don't see names like ALi, Younha or Brown Eyed Soul often, and it's definitely something to be proud of. :D I've listened to K-pop longer than I have to J-Rock but I'd definitely recommend Cocoa Otoko (sadly, they're not active anymore), UVERworld and One OK Rock (I loved "Deeper Deeper"). Spyair are good, too, a bit more hard rock but still. I'm not into the "real" J-Rock or Visual Kei, more the down to earth bands... oh, and Miyavi is pretty cool, too, but you probably know him. :)

Hi there!
Thanks for accepting the friend request! I loved your list of the musicians you like and it seems you liked Shut Up Flower Boy Band and Reply 1997, too (I keep meeting people who adored them, I guess ^^), so I just wanted to send you one. :)
You seem to have an awesome taste in both dramas and music, I just wanted to say that. :D And a high-five for guitar players!

More romance in Shut Up Flower Boy Band? Maybe that would've killed the mood, but I really agree with you. Sungjoon is so cool, he would have deserved more sweet scenes... and L and Yerim, definitely! I feel like re-watching the whole series right now, all that bromance was awesome. And I love thinking about how dramas could have continued or be changed a little. I'd have loved more romance, oh yes.
I'm definitely looking forward to the A-JAX comeback. The info came all of a sudden, I thought I had survived the comeback rush with my favourites or interesting rookies quite well. Only thing missing would be a new CNBLUE album now, then I'm officially done for. ^^
LC9 are cool! I don't know them well yet but I listened to the mini album a lot (because "Mama Beat" has such a great choreo and fun-action MV and one of the songs was already sung by SPICA). Do you have a bias in LC9 yet? ^^

Apparently you are. :D
Yes, I know exactly what you mean, the whole shock about Byunghee but things would've turned out so differently without it... it's such a complex story with so many realistic conflicts, you just have to love it. :) <3
Sorry I didn't clarify, I meant Burning Lee Jonghyun of course. I do think SHINee's music is getting better and better and Kim Jonghyun looks hot in blonde (I was never able to pick a bias in SHINee, so I'm just admiring him, and then Taemin in "Trap" and Onew's voice and... ^^). My heart belongs to CNBLUE though. I was lucky enough to see them live in London last year, and if I loved them before, then I can say I adore them now.

Running Man is awesome! I wish I had more time for it, I want to watch all the episodes at once, they're so entertaining. :D The Jonghyun one wasn't too bad either. :P
D'you have a bias in Big Bang? Mine would be Seungri. :D

Die hohen Zahlen mag ich am liebsten, Miss BAEKSHIBSAM.
Keine Sorge, ich plane, die im Sommer gemächlich durchzuschauen. ;P
Join me for some movies, will ya?

You're welcome, and thanks for accepting it! :) I don't send requests often, I think (okay, I'm also quite new to Dramaland, I guess), but I loved your bias list and I thought, why not? I love chatting with people who're into the same things.
SUFBB is by far my favourite Korean drama, one of the only ones I can't get out of my head. I'm glad you liked it. <3
And Jonghyun's definitely perfect, I have to admit it, although his hyung (Kyuhyun) has that special place in my heart. ;P
You're a variety fan, too, that's awesome!
Hope to hear from you again soon!

Pleased to meet you, too!
The sexy actors in your profile provoked me to send that request. xD You have a similiar taste in Koreans (oh, how awkward does that sound?) as one of my best friends, so I hope we also get along well. ^.^
Jonghyun's my CNBLUE bias, he's just so freaking awesome! :D
I also saw that you watched Shut Up Flower Boy Band, kudos for that!
The rookies are surprisingly unpopular on this site, yes. All the more reason to love them. I heard something about a possible A-JAX comeback today, so I hope it won't take long!

C'est toujours ça de gagné. :D J'étais très heureuse que tu sais un peu d'allemand, c'est bon! Mon français n'est pas très bon du tout, mais j'essaie. ^^
I'll switch to English more often, though... but I wouldn't mind it either if you just wrote in French or tried German. :) We shouldn't bother any mistakes as long as we communicate... just like idols who don't know any European languages. It'd be so great if they came to France or Germany... I actually live in the west of Germany, so going to Paris wouldn't be a problem for me, and I long to see SuJu so much. <3

I'll work hard to watch the dramas and then leave comments, I'll start with some films this week!
