Vagabond
Genre: Crime, Spy, Thriller, Action
Episodes: 16
Starring: Lee Seung-Gi Bae Suzy, Shin Sung-Rok, Lee Ki-Young Moon Yeong-Hee
Synopsis: Cha Dal-geon works as an underrated stuntman, while simultaneously taking care of his orphaned little nephew Cha Hoon. When Hoon travels to Moroco, the plane crashes due to a structural failure and all the 200 passangers are killed. With his world now turned upside down, Dal-geon travels to Morocco to attend the funeral for all the victims of the plane crash. In Moroco, he discovers, that the plane crash probably wasn't an accident and he gets in a spiral of very dangerous power play reaching to the highest positions in Korea. Trying to find out why his nephew had to die, he teams up with NIS agent Go Hae-Ri and they. They have no idea how deadly dangerous situation they entered.
Positives: It was really entertaining. I love the conspiracy dramas full of mystery, nervewrecking plot twists and good actions scenes. Also the characters are quite good, Dal-Gein is a relatable hero who is not perfect, but you just root for him. Also the side characters are very interesting, I especially appreciate how we just don't know who is a "good" guy and who is the "bad" guy till the end.
Negatives: The drama ends with a clifhanger, but hopefully there will be season 2 in 2024. I would also appreciate more backstory and screentime for somw side characters like Gi Tae-Ung or Jessica Lee.
Conclusion: I would recommend this show for everyone who likes the "one man against the system" stories. It's very complex plot with a lot of inerteresting and morally ambiguous characters, definitelly worth to watch it ;)
Action: 9/10 Romance: 7/10 Intriques: 10/10 Blood: 8/10 Whump: 6/10 Friendship: 6/10 Emotions: 7/10 Humor: 2/10

OUR DATING SIM (2023, SOUTH KOREA)
This story begins with Lee Wan (LEE JONG HYUK) running towards his past just as fast as he ran away from it (without knowing both times)
Here Lee Wan runs to make it to an interview on time in which (unknown to him) he's running to Shin Ki Tae or Gi Tae (LEE SEUNG GYU) his "failed first love"
And 7 Years Ago he ran away from Shin Ki Tae after a "rejection" without knowing how desperately Shin Ki Tae was searching for him.

What is this post you might say? Well exacly as the banner says. I saw a tweet where some kpop fan said their childhood song was ruined was by a classical korean group. And bunch of other kpoppers agreed. Guess they only listen to some mediocore kpop artists and never heard a good singer. So I present you a bunch of Korean artists (male version) with really good voices you should check out. And behold! It’s all live performances! No youtube embeds since you can only embed 5 so links instead.
황치열 (Hwang Chi-yeul) - All Of My Life
https://youtu.be/oEEr7nEGOHU
This is a cover of Park Won’s All Of My Life. I listen to both artists but never knew Hwang Chi-Yeul covered this until it showed up on my youtube front page. And my first reaction was “Wait hold up! The All Off My Life??? The one from Park Won???”. I insta clicked and wow this cover is phenomenal. It even made me emotional.
김재환 (Kim Jae Hwan) - Leave The Door Open
https://youtu.be/RNsksNAAk14
It was the cover of Tom Grennan’s Little Bit Of Love that introduced me to Kim Jae Hwan and I was like damm who are you. He has done many covers and this is one of my faves.
WOODZ (조승연) - Accident
https://youtu.be/C2ybLIsT21c
Every single time I listen to this live clip I am amazed at how easy he hits those high notes. Woodz is also an all rounder since he can also dance and write songs.
퍼플레인 (Purple Rain) - 자옥아
https://youtu.be/3Qv-Cmcgsao
Purple Rain unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore but the singer is also part of The Vane. This guy’s voice is no joke. He got such a volume.
이홍기 (Lee Hong Gi) - 사랑아
https://youtu.be/6nDpVI12xnU
So the singer of F.T Island. Everytime a list would pop up with best kpop singers he was never in there. Like excuse me? He has an amazing voice. He puts in so many emotions when he’s singing. You can feel it.
비(RAIN)의 킬링보이스를 라이브로
https://youtu.be/VKwvmLS0BBY?t=1034
Well this is a collection of Rain singing small parts of his hits. This channel has a lot of great singers doing their own hits. I timestamped this because the performance for one his songs is out of this world!
박효신 (Park Hyo Shin) - 야생화
https://youtu.be/geqkGm6YpCo
He performed this song many times but this live version is something else. I won’t say why, just listen!
Kim Feel & - Kim Jongwan (Nell) Time To Walk Through Memories
https://youtu.be/DKgZVNW4Zok?t=201
First of I love the show Begin Again. I like the the setting and the stripped down versions of songs they do. This is a song by Nell they are singing. And it made me emotional the first time I listened to it. Such a beautiful version.
몽니 (Monni) - 세상만사
https://youtu.be/3Jiy2SToM1s
Listen, I listen to a lot of music so I don’t always know what the artists I listen to look like. And Monni was an example. I always check out every Immortal Songs 2 performance. And here is I was like I wonder who this band is. Then the singer started singing and I was like “OMG this is Monni!”. Another singer with a big volume.
라포엠(LA POEM) - 여러분
https://youtu.be/TmemF9bK6mI
Not everything is always my type of music and when I checked this out and they started singing I was like “O opera”. Definitly not something I listen to. But I continued to listen and I ended up breaking down. I had tears streaming down my face. I also checked out their recorded music but it doesn’t do anything for me. But their live performances I do love.
김기태 (Kim Ki Tae) - 그대 앞에 난 촛불이어라
https://youtu.be/gbsbYHLIP0M
Immortal Songs 2 also introduces me to artists I have never heard of. Because to be fair there are a lot of ballad singers out there. Kim Ki Tae is one of them snf wow. I love how he has a raw edge to his voice. Vocals don’t always have to be super clean to me.
임태경 (Lim Tae-kyung) - 낙인
https://youtu.be/1vEkouZmUH4
Last one in this post. I gotta stop somewhere. Lim Tae-kyung is also someone I never heard of but this performance is great.
Other artists you should listen to that are not in this post: Bumkey, Crush, Daldam, KCM, Kim MinSeok, Muzie, O.WHEN, Park Won, Shin Yong Jae & Soulstar
