Bo Peep Bo Peep - T-ara

Song : Bo Peep Bo Peep
Artists : T-Ara
Album: Vol. 1 - Absolute First Album
Release date : November 27, 2009
Label: Core Contents Media, Mnet Media


Aku ngebahas lagu ini karena lagu ini sangat entertaining. Mungkin karena dancenya kali. Dance lagu ini terkenal dengan nama "cat dance" karena emang ada gerakan menyerupai kucing imut yang menggerak-gerakkan tangannya didekat pipi, tau kan gerakan itu? Aku sering liat gerakan itu di variety show ataw music festival.

Dari segi lagu, lagunya juga enak, unik, bagus, pokoknya lucu deh dengernya. Aku saranin sih mending kalian denger lagunya, jangan liat MVnya karena MVnya sama sekali tidak menarik. Terlalu vulgar. Mungkin ratingnya 18+. Bahkan MV ini pernah termasuk ke dalam kategori merusak remaja dan pernah hampir diberhentikan penayangannya.

Kalo mau liat dancenya, mending nonton yang dance versionnya aja. Lucu banget deh dancenya. Bagi yang udah nonton Cinderella's Stepsister pasti udah tahu gimana dancenya.

Aku salut loh ma para koreografer korea yang jago banget bikin gerakan dance yang unik n bisa dengan mudah diikuti ma yang nonton. Banyak gerakan dance yang terkenal dari para boyband atau girlband. Contohnya aja "leg dance"-nya SNSD di lagu Gennie, atau "butt dance" nya Kara di lagu Mister, terus dancenya Abracadabra nya Brown Eyed Girls, Heartbeatnya 2pm, Sorry Sorry nya Super Junior, Nobody nya Wonder Girls, dan masih banyak lagi.

Oiya, satu lagi yang unik dari lagu ini, yaitu judulnya. Bo Peep Bo Peep. Ga ada arti khusus ma kata2 itu, sepertinya bunyi alarm atau sejenisnya. Tapi justru judul yang unik itu yg bikin menarik. Lagi-lagi aku mau menyebutkan judul2 lagu korea yang sejenis. Kaya Gee dan oh!-SNSD, Ring Ding Dong-Shinee, Toc Toc Toc-Lee hyori, Yeah-MBLAQ,  Chu-f(x), Hi Ya Ya-DBSK, Ddok Ddok Ddok-4Men, Bing Bing bing-Ft Island, La la la-SG Wannabe, dll... Banyak kan, mereka ga takut ngeluarin lagu dengan judul yang aneh2. Indonesia ada ga ya yg kaya gitu?

A Frozen Flower: This Love Triangle Is a Fading Pink


My heart goes out to this King (Ju Jin-mo). He needs to sire an heir to protect his kingdom but he can't get it up for the Queen (Song Ji-hyo) or his concubines. My heart also goes out to Hong Lim (Jo In-seong), the King's male lover and bodyguard. After being enlisted to impregnate the Queen, he fatally discovers that he's got a taste for the ladies -- as one 69 scene graphically illustrates. And because I've got a big heart, my heart also goes out to the Queen. Horny and unhappy, she's trying to make the best of a bad situation. Which, for a time, she does. (After being pimped out by her Lord and Master, she falls head over heels for the royal sperm donor and demands that they do it again and again in as many different positions as possible.) As love triangles go, Yu Ha's costume-drama/softcore-melodrama is ingenious in how it inverts a familiar forbidden love setup by having the straight couple sneak around while the gay man gets bitchy and suspicious. If A Frozen Flower might seem to side with the straights, it also illustrates that whether you're hot for men or women, everyone loves to kiss with a lot of tongue.

Smiling Goodbye / Good Smile - Soya N Sun




Song : Smiling Goodbye / Good Smile
Artists : Soya N Sun
Single : 웃으며 안녕 (Smiling Goodbye)
Released: 2010.04.23


Kali ini aku ga akan bahas lagu baru karena semenjak jenpoo ga ada aku ga pernah update lagu baru lagi hiks2... Tapi ga papa, masih banyak lagu yang bagus walau pun ga baru2 amat, salah satunya lagu ini. Smiling Goodbye / Good smile dari Soya n Sun.

Awalnya tau lagu ini dulu dari jenpoo, waktu itu liat cover lagunya gambar So Ji Sub, aktor kesukaanku. Pas denger lagunya ternyata enak. Penyanyinya cewek n ada suara cowoknya pas bagian rap. Aku kira So Ji sub yang nyanyi pas rapnya. Tapi ternyata aku salah, aku baru tahu pas lihat MVnya. So Ji Sub ngga nyanyi di lagu ini tapi membintangi MVnya. MVnya bagus banget. Dan sam sekali tidak memperlihatkan penyanyinya. Itulah yang aku salut dari penyanyi korea, mereka benar2 menjual lagunya melalui suaranya bukan tampangnya, jadi ga masalah kalo kita ga tahu tampang penyanyinya tapi kita suka lagunya. Betul ga?

Sekarang aku mau nyeritain MVnya. Konsep MVnya simple yaitu cuma satu scene. Adegannya cuma nyebrang jalan aja. Tapi dari nyebrang jalan itu aja kita bisa tahu kalo ceritanya tuh sedih. Begini adegannya, So Ji Sub berdiri di tepi jalan dekat lampu merah karena mau nyebrang, sedangkan di sebrang jalan ada Park Han Byul bersama seorang pria di sampingnya, sepertinya pria itu adalah kekasihnya. Selama menunggu lampu merah, So Ji Sub dan Park Han Byul saling berpandangan dengan tatapan sedih. Dan adegan itu berlangsung cukup lama sampai lebih dari setengah MV, walau begitu ngga ngebosenin kok nontonnya karena kita bisa tahu dari adegan itu kalau mungkin sebelumnya 2 orang itu pernah saling mencintai. Dan ketika mereka bertemu lagi, kini Han Byul sudah punya kekasih (setidaknya itulah perkiraanku).

Lanjut ke cerita MVnya, akhirnya tibalah waktunya saat mereka menyebrang jalan. So Ji Sub dengan langkah yang berat akhirnya mulai menyebrang menuju Han Byul, begitu juga sebaliknya dengan Han Byul dan prianya. Sampai akhirnya mereka semakin dekat dan akhirnya berpapasan, saat berpapasan mereka sama sekali tidak melihat satu sama lain dan hanya memandang ke depan. Menurutku adegan ini cukup sedih, fillnya dapet. Apalagi saat itu sedang turun salju. Jadi kelihatan mellow banget adegannya.

Kalau dari MV n judul lagunya, aku mengartikan bahwa lagu ini bercerita tentang perpisahan. Judulnya Smiling Goodbye. Jadi initinya berpisah dengan senyuman. Bagus kan ceritanya? hehe... aku sok tahu ya, abis ga tau arti dari lirik lagunya sih. Tapi MVnya n judul lagunya kok ada yang ga nyambung ya, karena MVnya mereka berdua sama sekali ga senyum tuh waktu berpisah, coba endingnya Ji Sub senyum, pasti keliatan lebih sedih karena itu berarti So Ji Sub udah mengikhlaskan Han Byul buat orang lain dan mendoakan biar mereka bahagia, hehe... jadi buat cerita sendiri.

Yang jelas lagu n MVnya bagus. Suka banget ma So Ji Sub disini. Terus Park Han Byulnya juga cantik. Keliatan beda dari biasanya. Udah pernah liat korama Oh My Lady? Han Byul main di korama itu jadi cewek yang naksir Shiwon. Di situ Han Byul keliatan muda n fresh, kalo di MV ini dia kliatan dewasa. Tapi tetep cantik kok.

Addicted: Self-Denial Can Be a Form of Love


Something undeniably creepy is afoot in Park Young-hoon's Addicted, a transcendental love story about a woman (Lee Mi-yeon) whose comatose husband (Lee Eol) appears to have returned to the conscious world by taking possession of the younger, hotter body of his little brother (Lee Byung-hun). While you could look at this sibling soul-swapping as a form of superficial upgrading for the widow, you do also have to wonder about the morals of a guy who'd evict the soul of his brother just to continue making kitschy furniture and cuddling with his wife. Naturally, the widow is confused and full of questions. Possession's not as commonplace as it once was, though -- in this movie -- the hospital's resident psychiatrist seems to treat it as a rare yet legitimate diagnosis. What the psychiatrist does not provide is a treatment plan. The younger brother's wannabe girlfriend (Park Seon-yeong) takes a stab at an exorcism of sorts by inviting her old love interest to the family farm for some backbreaking labor. All this does, however, is break her heart a little more. He didn't love her before. He doesn't love her now. Like any smart reject of romance, she packs her bags to study abroad. But not before sending those soul-mates to Hell!

Arahan: Urban Martial Arts Action: The Karate Kid Grows Up to Be a Cop


I'm coining a new term: Adorkable. Definition? Stupid-cute. Prime example? Ryu Seung-beom, an actor who embodies the idea here via his role as a goofy, rookie cop with unprecedented superpower-potential. The film itself, the martial arts pic Arahan (directed by Seung-beom's brother Seung-wan), is pretty adorkable too. This fabulist tale about Seven Masters guarding a magical, transferrable tattoo has found a way to philosophize about justice and balance without ostentation by keeping the action -- and there are some killer action sequences here -- in a world of black market acupuncture, backfiring self-promotion, and deadly lotus positions. This is The Tao according to Marvel Comics, or a Universal Religion that inserts its message between splashy fights and silly slapstick done with a wink. Sweetening the deal are a supervillain (Jung Doo-hong) who knows great evil requires great abs, and a foxy love interest (Yoon So-yi) who's fierce with her fists but faulty with her palm blasts. (Some superpowers are harder to perfect.) If Arahan has a fault, it may be that to describe it is to demean it. This is stupid-cuteness of the highest order, as adorkable as Old Partner is poignant and The World of Silence is creepy.

Popee: All Dogs Go to Hollywood to Die


You'll have to be an ardent dog-lover to get into the spirit of Kim Ji-hyun's pseudo-documentary Popee. A weird mix of "true crime" re-enactments of very un-criminal moments surrounding the death of the family dog ("Popee") and naturalistic interviews with various dog owners who flounder and falter as they discuss animal consciousness ("Do dogs dream? Do they know their names? What are they thinking?"), this hour-long video -- hardly a movie -- holds a small fascination for people who like to see the raw, awkward output of weekend artists committed to decidedly non-commercial, personal endeavors. This is what happens when someone has the power to round up a bunch of friends to man the cameras and stand in front of them, talent be damned. Many of the anecdotes -- especially one concerning a woman who buys a sick German Shepherd from an unsympathetic pet shop owner -- feel overly scripted; others -- like the one about the titular dog mating with all the female dogs in the neighborhood -- reflect poorly on the owners. Evidently, Kim made a sequel called Cats six years later. In another six years, I suppose we can expect the final entry in the trilogy: Birds.

Into the White Night: Fashioning an Imperfect Murder


I don't know what to say about this one so how about director Park Shin-woo's mystery is filled with symbols galore: a police detective (Han Suk-kyu) who's slowly going blind, a killer (Go Soo) who wields scissors for art and murder, and a rape victim (Son Ye-jin) who desires nothing more than to launch a line of ugly clothing for men. Fighting interpretation, each lexicon of Into the White Night's cinematic semiotics loses significance as quickly as it gains meaning. The more you study it, the less the movie reveals. So put aside that imagery! You're better off sticking with who kills whom how, when and why as the action rewinds and fast forwards with all the stylishness of a ten-year-old operating a VCR. That same clunkiness trips up most of the characters who feel only half-developed. One of the more complex roles -- a tough private eye (Lee Min-jung) with a good sense of intuition -- gets knocked off too soon; a largely forgettable police chief (Jeong Jin) gets reincorporated too late. Stick around long enough and you'll witness a perverse scene in which the rape victim psychologically victimizes the sexually assaulted daughter of her husband-to-be but I'd rather spoil that plot twist for you here and save you the trouble.
