Running Man
Date Friday, April 20, 2012
I have become completely hooked on the Korean variety show Running Man! It all started when Big Bang became their guests and I came across some fansubs for the episodes. After enjoying those two episodes so much, I went and watched three or four backwards, and then the following week when the new episode aired--I saw that one too. ^.^; I figured I should catch up on the series and enjoy its roots, so I went and dug up the first fifty episodes (fansubbed of course) and I'm going through those now. It's been a very fun progression and I like to see where they all started. It's funny seeing their looks before!
I also found out this week that DramaFever is also getting the rights to air Running Man on their site! ^o^ So yayy~! I can watch it on there via my iPhone/iPad at work. And it'll be HD, which is always so much nicer. I just hope that their subs are as good as the ones I've been watching lately. ^.^;; I can be very picky about quality sometimes. It can really ruin a show or make it! From the font choices, to the translation style!
First seven episodes are done, and 81 to 90 complete~ Now onward hoooo!

Full Metal Jousting
Date Thursday, March 22, 2012
WHAT IS FULL METAL JOUSTING ABOUT?
The collision sport of jousting was an extreme sport centuries before anyone coined the term. HISTORY is bringing it back and transforming it into a 21st century event, pitting the toughest riders in the nation in a bone-crushing competition for big money. It’s as intense as it was 500 years ago, but with a new twist. Traditional armor is replaced by modern suits of steel and action is captured by high-speed cameras, like in a marquee sporting event. Each episode features full-contact jousts where jousters charge and collide at 30 miles per hour.
“America’s newest extreme sport is also the oldest in history,” said Chris Meador, VP consumer marketing for HISTORY. “We are thrilled to partner with PBR to offer fans an inside look at a live, heart-pounding jousting experience. PBR is providing us the perfect environment to introduce FULL METAL JOUSTING to their audience of extreme sport enthusiasts.”

LEDApple – Time is up
Date Friday, February 3, 2012
OverviewTime is up is the latest single from LEDApple, one of the newer K-pop groups with a very punk-pop sound. I’m expecting great things from this band, with their catchy lyrics, up-beat rhythms and collaboration of guitar and heavy drums. It’s hard to hope for a full album any time soon with all of their changes since debuting. (They originally debuted as a 5-member group in 2010.) ChiHoon left the group before debut due to differences in music styles. I-OH left the group due to illness. Seunghyun and Minyong left the group after debut promotions and Kyumin, Jaehoon, and Hyosuk were added. In November 2011, Jaehoon left the group and KeonU and Hanbyul were added.
The Single
Released February 2nd, this song marks the comeback for the band who has been quiet since late last year. The song expresses the thoughts of a man who’s disheartened by the fact that the woman he loves needs more time to accept his feelings, and the catchy melody is sure to cause some serious head boppin’.They only have three singles under their belt. When will we see a full album? :)
