One Zombie, Sharing Her Love of all Things Hallyu With The World
I’m just going to come right out and say this, I have never been a fan of girl groups or female solo artists… Ever. So when I sit down to tell the world that the song they need to have playing on “repeat” right now is 2NE1’s “Come Back Home,” you know it’s got to be good.
In anticipation of Boyfriend’s first U.S. showcase in Chicago, IL and Dallas, TX next week, I wanted to see just how much everyone knows about the group and help those who are not all that familiar.

You can find more that details right HERE.
Join us later this week for more information on Boyfriend! And don’t forget next week there will be live coverage of their Chicago Showcase via Twitter (@Hallyu_Tanya & @TheZombieMamma) as well as our review of the show!
Karen and Zombie Mamma have covered a lot of this week’s episodes! Chang Min is starting to grow on me too as he becomes less pompous and runs with his jealousy/confusion thing. He has decided to go all in and just follow the course where ever it take him. I admire that. The more he shows that he still cares, the better the chances he will have with Jin Hee in the end.

This week, I threw all logic and sound reasoning out the window as I fell head-over-heels for Chang Min and all of ridiculously adorable feelings for Jin Hee. Chang Min, FIGHTING!

Flashbacks! Memories! Jealousy! Rejection! Welcome to a brand new week of Emergency Couple, episodes 10-11, with Karen. The drama is progressing along well as our main characters continue to take major steps towards love. This week’s episodes are probably my favorite episodes so far because it is so romantically exciting. Where will love take everyone on Emergency Couple?

Zombie: To wrap up the month of February, we’ve decided to each pick a MV from the past month to talk about (or drool over…) so let’s get to it…
KpopKolorado: Do you want us to do C-Clown, Nelly?
Nelly: Yes. My current crack song now 😀
Once again, to make feeding your K-Pop MV obsession that much easier, here’s a list of some of this week’s latest releases…
1. Girls’ Generation “Mr. Mr.”
Zombie: I just have to ask, are you two loving Bride of the Century as much as I am because really, I’m freakin’ loving this show!!!
Tanya: I love the unexpected bits of comedy thrown into the darkness of this slightly creepy drama. It’s like they took My Love From Another Star and The Master’s Sun and rolled them together. I like it.

If you’re one of those who waits for the end of a currently airing drama so you can marathon the entire show in one, go you’re in luck because this week brought us the end of, what has to be, one of the best K-Dramas I have ever watched, SBS’s sci-fi/romantic drama, My Love From Another Star.

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you’ll know that I’ve had a thing for CNBLUE for a very long time. Jung Yong Hwa was the bunny I happily followed down the rabbit hole that led me into the wonderful world of all things Hallyu, CNBLUE’s albums were the first K-Pop albums I ever bought and the boys of CNBLUE will forever be at the top of my bias list. That being said, it only makes sense that their latest release, “Can’t Stop” would win this week’s music spotlight.
