(6)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$18.99Save: US$5.00 (26%)Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:November 4, 2006 SECOND CHANCE TO FLY?.........I'm grateful to the previous reviewer for the information relating to Brown Eyes. I bought this album without hesitation and I might just have found Brown Eyes again. I listened to the first several tracks last evening and didn't think it was Brown Eyes or Na ul who was in this album. I resumned this morning and I think I have found Brown Eyes' voice blue print and unique singing style in Track #12. I was just so happy and moved beyond words. The jacket on the CD is mysterious. It does not contain any picture of the group. Does the title THE SECOND CHANCE TO FLY, means that Brown Eyes are together again? Too bad that I can't read Korean, so I have no idea about any infornmation given in the CD. Even if THE NAME is not Brown Eyes, I just love the excellent and soulful voice of the group.

November 3, 2006 Irresistible good look......I've decided to own a copy of this series after my friend lent me a copy. I want to watch this series again because I like Dennis O'Neil and Nam Sang Mi and I think both of them did a decent job. I like the other leading actor Lee Joo Hyun too. Although not as nice looking as O'neil, he has a lot of charm. I also like the old spy partner of Dennis O'neil in this series. He is funny and I like the stunts that he did whether they were real or not. You will get disappointed if you take this series too seriously. There are some surprises and the ending is not original. Watch it! You might agree with me that Dennis O'Neil has irresistible good look and Nam Sang Mi is a good actress who can be really pretty. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

It's the first song I listen to in the morning.....or may be it should be during night falls now.:) The song has a very nice meaning. I think that Ryu is a talented song writer and composer. He wrote the lyrics and composed some of the songs for Winter Sonata, my number one drama series of all time. My package came with 10 nice big photos of Winter Sonata instead of the MTV.

It is a story of love and good vs. evil. This series does have some flaws. The part where most people dislike or refer to as dragging the show has to do with the relationship of Choi and her adult step brother who is not good looking, but an excellent actor. I think this part presents a glimpse of true human feelings while the actions are sometimes unrealistic. Watch the series if you are a fan of Choi Ji Woo and Kwon Sang Woo who are both attractive and excellent actors. The part I love most and watched several time is when Kwong Sang Woo chasing after the bus that Choi Ji Woo was riding in. This scene was imitated by other drama series. I also like the part how Kwon hired Choi to work in his firm after investigating into her business hardship. I wonder if there ever is such a handsome, intelligent and smart man who persistently does everything in his power to love and protect his true love, someone who does not yield to family and social pressure and pulls a trick wedding his true love. I love all the fantasy that this series offered. I also like it for the realistic portrait it gave of the step mother. Pay attention to how the step brother and Choi got back at their step father and step mother after they became adults. I got disappointed by the series for not having a Cinderella ending. If you can not bear the excessive sadness, skip watching the very end as I did after I took the suggestion of a previous reviewer. After all, this is only a series, you can make it more satisfactory to your liking.
I want to apologize for giving out too much details of a drama series. For Stairway to Heaven, I hope it is the only exception this time.
Oh, the music director deserves a big compliment. Get the OST too if you like. The recurring music theme of this series has a nice beat and its atmospheric quality really enhenced the suspense of the series at times. My many favorite tracks include one by my favorite singer, Kim Bum Soo.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

The first time I heard his song 내 삶의 반 (Dong Gam Vol.3, Dics 1, Track 11), I was very impressed by him. I didn't learn of his name until I bought an album that contains his song, 사랑해 사랑해 (Korean TV Drama OST Best-Romantic Couple Vol.3, Track 11). I now have all three of his solo albums and I like them all. What is amazing is that Han Kyung Il is good at each style of his singing be it ballads or Jazz. He has a wide vocal range and I think he is at his best with ballads with high notes. He has improved over time as this CD is his best. His singing is great Of couse there are rooms for improvement in his slower ballads. I hope he will get to sing more ballads from great composers who knows his best quality.

(44)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$18.99Save: US$5.00 (26%)Related promotions:September 8, 2006 Wheesung.......This talented singer is one of my favorites. I liked his music upon first listening but I grew to enjoy them even more later on. Wheesung captures the mood of the music very well regardless of what type of music he is singing. He can be fun and soulful. I have all four of his solo albums and I like them all. But I think this one is the best. My favorite tracks are 2, 10 and 11. I recommend his other CD, For The Moment in a similar style to this one which has a lot of R&Bs. Also, don't miss his first CD, Like a Movie which contains more slow ballads I guess.

August 29, 2006 Generous..............The first time I read the translation of generous.......(Track 10), my eyes were swollen with tears. I was touched by such simple yet moving lyrics. Moon Hee Jun's fantastic voice with his emotional and musical interpretation of this famous classic makes it among the top of my favorites. I love the regular and ballad versions of this song. I also love Tracks 11, 19 and 21, his other ballads. Moon Hee Jun certainly ranks among the top of my favorite singers. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

I love the acting of Jeon Ji Hyun and Jung Woo Sung. I even think Lee Sung Jae was good too. They were so natural and cute in their rolls even though the story line was ridiculously unbelievable. As the previous reviewer had suggested, watch this movie if you are the romantic type. It's a real good old fashion romantic love story. Amstersdam is a beautiful city with great museums. The director didn't take total advantage of it because of filming problem. But overall, I think he did a good job. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

SG Wannabe Vol. 3- The 3rd Masterpiece
(17)Our Price: US$17.99List: US$24.99Save: US$7.00 (28%)Related promotions:July 1, 2006 The Best CD of SG Wannabe!This is the best CD of SG Wannabe. Don't hesitate! Get it before it goes out of print. Tracks 1, 3, 6, 9 and 10 are mid
tempo r&b. Track #7 is at a faster tempo and I guess with a Latin
musical instrument playing at the beginning. Track 1 is my favorite with Celtic sound as suggested by a previous reviewer. Both tracks 1 and 7 are atmospheric. The rest of the tracks are slow ballads I think.
My two other favorites are Tracks 3 and 5. SG Wannabe deserves
their fame. Other than their individual wonderful vocals, their singing are compatible and don't overtake each other.
I think at least two of the members can be stand alone
artists. But let's hope that they won't split up soon, so
that we can enjoy their wonderful and sometimes magical
music.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Lim Jae Wook is among my top favorite singers. I think he is
the best singer for very sad TV series. His beautiful sad voice and the emotion that he imparts into his ballads can wrench your heart. There is an air of sadness that lingers with his ballads.
If you listen to his song in A Tropical Night in December OST,
you will know what I mean. The music director couldn't have
picked a better singer for this heart breaking series. Well, if you
don't want to feel sad all the time, get this CD. It has other
mixture of songs. My favorites are tracks 1, 13, 21 and 24.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(10)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$18.99Save: US$5.00 (26%)Related promotions:June 5, 2006 One of my favorite seriesThis is for the previous reviewer: The singer of Track #2
is Lee Seung Chul. It surprised me too. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars on my iTunes. This has to be one
of his better songs. The title is "Lover" I think , except that I've only
learnt the 2 Korean words from Moment, one of my favorite albums by Ryu.
The words are in reverse order. So, I don't know if it still means
Lover or not.:) My 2 other favorites are Tracks 4 and 8. Btw, Phoenix is one of my most favorite K drama
series. I did write a review on June 25, 2005 for this series.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 27, 2006 Excellent ChoiceIf you like ballads and r&b, and not willing to purchase a CD for just
one or two songs, then try this CD. I bought it for just one song My Lady by An Jae Mo (Track 4) and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise and excellent choice. I discovered other very
talented singers like Lee Ki Chan (Track 9), Byun Jin Sup (Track
3), and Jung Jae Wook (Track 1). They are fantastic singers. I also like the singer of Track 11 a lot, but I haven't
figured out who he is. The music sounds a little bit
out of tune or weird, but the singer has a great and distinct voice. I also
like Track 2 by SG Wannabe a lot. Track 5 by Page and Track 10 by Park Ki Young are good as well.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

and Chae Tae Hyun. It's my second favorite Korean movie after The Classic. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Btw, Brown Eyes was my favorite dual. I started to collect all Na UL and Yoon Gun's CDs after their split up. I think individually they
are great, but they were magical as dual.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Sandglass, I will purchase it right away. I think Choi Min
Soo is one of the best Korean actors after I watched the
Sandglass, a sad and touching series of the country's student movements and political system in the 70's. The series was
so good and realistic that I thought some of the footage were
documentaries. I like Choi's dedication to his profession and
his appreciation of his role in the series. In the interview that
followed the series, Choi commented that giving an important role once or twice in an acting career, such as the one in Sandglass is what an actor can really ask for in a life time. I don't think I have his exact words, but his attitude
and outstanding acting really impressed me. I want to support him even without listening to his CD.
