I'll dm you the link !

Yay, I’m glad you found it helpful !

I don’t know why it’s not working but oh well. I hadn’t considered Vietnamese music either until Spotify played a song for me.

If you have the Spotify app there’s something I’d like to try with you. They have this new feature called a blend, where it mixes songs that we have in common and also some that we don’t.

Here's the website, if you're curious (https://www.chosic.com/). It has quite a few features but I think it's most compatible with spotify.

Yes, me too. I mostly listen to newer or more "modern" artists.
I'm just getting started and building up a playlist but here (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Xy73KjSzBUYcmr1SNyZ7I?si=2b430d2319cc4aeb) has the favourites I've found so far.

I feel the same way about genres. I sometimes find them hard to categorize. I feel as though many sounds have been merging and it can be hard to sort them under a specific genre.

Haha yes sometimes you can surprise yourself with what you end up liking

I mainly listen to rnb, pop, gospel, and now kpop (I'm a bit of a late bloomer as I only got into kpop last year, so I've been experimenting with k-rnb, k-hip pop, etc). Recently, I found this site where you can pick either a parent or sub-genre and have a Spotify playlist curated for you. I've been trying out genres such as alt rock, Belgian pop, and expanding my country listening beyond Carrie Underwood. I've also taken a liking to Spanish and Vietnamese music.

Hope you enjoy them !

Bollywood movies are extremely long but the music is very good.

Ou how are you enjoying mando-pop? Is pop your favourite genre?
I have yet to try Thai but I know J-rock can be pretty good.

You are right on that. I think they need to acquire a bigger domestic fan base. That could help push them more

Same, I listen to most artists casually. A.C.E is an extremely talented and slightly underrated group. I don't think I'm familiar with Ha Hyunsang but I am with Gaho's OSTs.

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Cix and PLT. Some of the groups that I "actively stan" are nct, monsta x, victon, stayc and a few more. I also really like Kang Daniel, Jiselle, Junny, Baek Yerin, Cacophony, etc. I'm always looking for new artists, not just in kpop but in general.

I, personally, don't care or pay attention to charts but it'd be nice to see them get more recognition as a group.

Hmm now that you mention it, that may be true. I'm more familiar with Oneus' discography than I am Onewe's so I can't say much on theirs.

What other k-artists do you listen to/keep up with?

This was so well done👏🏽👏🏽 I love that groups like sf9 and onewe were mentioned because I think they're very underrated

I have yet to watch some of the dramas you listed but I agree with the ones I've watched and with your notes.
- WWW and Hotel Del Luna are two of the best examples for badass female leads who weren't assholes. They did what needed to be done and fashionably too!
- I haven't finished WOTM yet but the FL definitely could've been portrayed as a stronger character. So many of her decisions were rash and she lost her composure a lot. If anything her neighbor had the stronger personality for how she dealt with her husband.
- ME TOOOOOO!! As cute and likable as Anna was, Changwook should've ended up with the stepmom. In my opinion they had stronger chemistry. I thought that was the direction the drama was taking because of the way they set it up. I assumed they've would've at least tried a relationship but I guess it would've gotten messy and some viewers might not appreciate that.

AAAHHH I'M SO EXCITEDDD

Wait can we talk about how JJ and Inhyung got hit by a truck but looked like they just tripped down some stairs??? I’m sorry that was so goofy. & I also wondered if Joon couldn’t have pitched the idea to live in the house with Geunyoung that way she wouldn’t have had to sneak around??? I’m sure the producers would’ve loved that idea, no?
