Rapid(ish) Reviews, September 2017: B1A4, B.A.P., GFriend, and More

August was hectic, and October and November are shaping up to be just as wild.  So September provided a nice little breather!  Things were on the lighter side, but there were still plenty of comebacks to enjoy. I’ll admit I spent most of my time fangirling over EXO and BTS, but some of my otherContinue reading “Rapid(ish) Reviews, September 2017: B1A4, B.A.P., GFriend, and More”

Rapid(ish) Reviews: August 2017 (GFriend, Sunmi, Winner, and more)

Frequent readers of my blog will know I started out mainly writing reviews of K-POP’s latest releases.  I still really enjoy doing those, but they’re super time-consuming.  On average, it takes me about two days to do all the research, make GIFs, and actually write the review…and that’s when I’m focused! If I did that forContinue reading “Rapid(ish) Reviews: August 2017 (GFriend, Sunmi, Winner, and more)”

Favorites of 2017: March

(Oops, we’re already over halfway through April….) As I predicted, March was all about the boy groups for me. Though of course several girl groups had solid comebacks, most of my attention was consumed by favorites like Got7 and Monsta X.  But no matter your preferences, there was something for everyone this month.

GFriend Comeback Review: “Fingertip”

Normally, I avoid teasers because I find them misleading.  But GFriend’s teasers got me so hyped. The Awakening, indeed.  The popular girl group is clearly ready to their expand their horizons, and this comeback is supposed to signal a big turning point.  It turns out that “Fingertip” isn’t that different from their previous work, but it’s a solidContinue reading “GFriend Comeback Review: “Fingertip””

My Favorite Songs of 2016: January – March

Happy 2017! Time to get cracking on this blog. It’s been over half a year since I originally set this up, and I stupidly did it while I was still finishing school (practically guaranteeing that I wouldn’t have time to work on it).  But this is a new year, and my New Year’s resolution is to actuallyContinue reading “My Favorite Songs of 2016: January – March”
