Latest Obsessions!! (Korean T.V Shows + Funny Photoshop Fail)

17th March, 2013 (6:41pm)

Hey Everyone!

Well, this post is going to be all about my latest obsession!! T.V SHOWS!
For those of you who don't know I usually watch these shows on the internet because my t.v only has one channel which is SBS (POPASIA FTW!).
Just thinking about it makes me happy... crazy right? XD

Without further ado let's get right into it.
This month I've been crazy.. even right now I should be studying for my half yearlies which is in about 2 weeks. I get distracted very easily.. and a strong procrastinator as you might have already known.

These are the shows that I freakin LOVE <3:
- Running Man
- Invincible Youth (Season 1)
- X- File
- Rollercoaster
- Xiaxue's guide to life

I'm sure there's more but this is all I can think of right now. Okay, here's a little overview of what the show is about.

Running Man

(I've already blogged about this show before but for old time's sake ONE MORE TIME)

This is a korean reality/game/ variety show. There are 7 main members (above) from left to right are:

Lee Kwang Soo (이광수) a.k.a Kwang-Vatar 

Kim Jong Kook (김종국) a.k.a SPARTA,The Commander, Kookie 

Yoo Jae Suk (유재석) a.k.a Grasshopper (메뚜기), Yooruce Willis, Yoo Hyuk, Nation’s MC

Song Ji Hyo a.k.a Ace, Mong-Jihyo

The guy in the yellow jumper who is Song Joong Ki left running man :( but is sometimes a guest member 

Ji Suk Jin a.k.a Big Nose Hyungnim

Ha Dong Hoon(하동훈) a.k.a HAHA

Gary a.k.a Peaceful Gary, Gaecholas Cage

This is my ultimate favorite T.V show! It is amazing! They go to different locations across Korea (even thailand, china etc). Most of the time they are separated into teams, sometimes guest members join in and they have to accomplish different missions in order to win a prize (usually gold). The missions are random as... sometimes it's as simple as multiplication table (with a slap of water if wrong) to carrying people on their backs across different locations and eating food to claim that territory (chance game like monopoly). The last mission is always this thing where it's kind of like the game tips, but it involves a name tag in which you have to rip off. And it's really funny because there are things such as spies and betrayers. I'm up to ep. 111 and once I start watching I can't stop.

I usually watch it on this website: http://runningmanclub.blogspot.com.au/

Invincible Youth 청춘불패 (Season 1)

This show is about these young idol stars (kpop singers) experience the life in the rural areas. The chosen location for this place is Yuchi-ri village in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do in South Korea. These girls (known as G7) help the villagers out with farming, making tofu, making Korean sake, fishing, tutoring, shoveling off snow and all sorts of things (with some entertainment).
Their slogan was: 청춘은 지지 않는다~ 청춘~ 불패 (Youth Don't Lose! Invincible Youth!)

The cast are: 

Sunny (SNSD) 

Yuri (SNSD)

Hyuna (4Minute)

Sunhwa (Secret)

Narsha (Brown Eyed Girls)

Hyomin (T-ara)

Hara (Kara)

Kim Tae Woo (Solo Singer)

Kim Shinyoung (MC/ Entertainer)

Noh Juhyeon 

I love this show.. but after Sunny, Yuri and Hyuna had to leave I literally cried because I was so attached to all the members. When the new members came in to replace them, I stopped watching because it had a totally different feel to it. It didn't seem interesting anymore.. it's not because I don't like the other members it's just it just turned ... strange. But I still love it! 

I watched it on this website: 

http://ithetimes.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/eng-sub-091023-kbs2-invincible-youth-season-1-ep-1/

You just basically go on Google and type in 'Invincible youth ep (insert ep your up to) and it automatically comes up. 

Maspeople X- File (화성인X 파일)

Now.. this is sort of hard for those of you who can't understand Korean because some of the clips don't have English subtitles on them. Nonetheless, you can't really find the full episodes.. but I watch the shortened clips on YouTube. Just search in 화성인 X 파일 and it will come up. This show is similar to that show called 'My strange addictions'. It's just about finding people who aren't ordinary.. it's very interesting. Like they look normal but they just behave differently. Sometimes I envy them haha :D

Here's a short preview of ep 104:

24 hour drinking girl

Rollercoaster (롤러코스터)

I wouldn't call this show a variety/ reality program. It's about the differences between a girl and a guy. It's really funny because most of them are so true. Just go on youtube and type in 롤러코스터. This is hard again for the non-korean speakers.

Xiaxue's guide to life 

And last but not least is a reality show with the blogger/ youtube star Xiaxue. Technically this isn't a Korean TV show but I just put it in here because it's awesome!. This is in English so don't fret :) I only found about this about two days ago and I've been constantly watching them. It's really interesting because it's just random as. Xiaxue, as a host goes around places or find things that are just random that people always wanted to know but never really had the chance to. She's so funny because she's so honest about everything :D

This, I also watch on YouTube, just by searching Xiaxue's guide to life.

Well, I didn't cover a lot of details but you get the jest of it. Now it's 8.p.m and I haven't started my homework that's due tomorrow.. yay -.-. I'm still procrastinating since Friday . lol.. how lame am I. 

In one of Xiaxue's episodes she teaches people how to Photoshop. And I've always been curious about this... and since my laptop came installed with the 'Adobe Photoshop CS3' I decided 'heck why not?'.

Lol.. I deliberately tried it on my friend's picture just for fun. She's holding the camera like it's a baby lol :D

After

                                 I guess this one isn't very dramatic. Can you notice the difference? 

To be honest... I can't be bothered using Photoshop. It's just too much of a hassle and as you can tell I suck at it. So.. I hope you like my post for today :D It's currently 8:20 p.m. and I'm tired as hell. Have to do my homework now. Save me!! :'( 

Until Next Time,

Take Care
