Just Another Day...

Hey!

Right now there isn't much to write about because EXO isn't having any teasers so far. EXO-M isn't going on any variety shows, and I do have homework to worry about. Right now at school, I'm just waiting for them to make an announcement of any special clubs because so far there isn't anything that interests me. They asked students today if they wanted to join the choir but I have a horrible voice. I really want to join the Japanese Arts Club but they haven't made an announcement about that yet.

Right now I'm just doing my homework while listening some of my favourtie songs on replay. Here are the songs...







Last one, I promise



Bye guys, gotta get back to my homework now.

First Day of School

Hey!

For starters, today was the worst weather for the first day of school. Honestly! It was raining non-stop, the bus didn't come on time plus my friend and I were sharing an umbrella, and by the time I got home from school, I was soaking wet. My blog's name is Adropofrain-sunshine, well why couldn't there be just ONE drop of rain. Uhhh....

As for school, well that's a different situation. Like I said, I have all the hard subjects first semester. I have, Science for homeroom, Civics/Careers, English, and French. I'll tell you this right now, I was actually born in China so when I came to Canada I got this English name because my Chinese name is hard to pronounce. The only problem is that, I have to tell the teachers to call me "name" all the time so it gets annoying. My science teacher is really funny, my friend who now is in grade 11 had him last year said that he's really funny, and an easy marker so that's good. However, she told me that they had to do alot of experiments in chemistry, and I hate doing experiments. I just hate writing a lab report, and cleaning up... Civics/Careers, seems really fun. I really like my teacher, she seems super nice and super approachable so that's good. My English teacher is okay. She seems approachable and really organized, but I am afraid that she's one of teachers who super awesome but when it comes to marking, she's super hard. My French teacher seems the scariest of all. Day 1, and she already yelled at our class twice, plus I think she really hates me because of a question I asked.

You see, sometimes I ask really dumb questions for no reason, and when my French teacher asked us what we're going to be scared of in grade 10 french, I said tests. After that, she seemed really unimpressed with me so it looks like French is not going to be my favourite subject this semester.

On a happy note, I'm not a niner anymore!!! YAY! Last year I was a niner, and this year I'm in grade 10! Now I get to make fun of the niners (just joking). I guess the main thing in highschool is to make sure that you have genuine friends around you because, even if you fail or mess up, they will always be there for you and you definitely don't want to be a loner.

Well, that's it for now, even though it's the first day of school, I still have homework to do.

Going Back to School

Hey!

So, in a few days, I will be going back to school. Yay...not. For me, going back to school is a bittersweet feeling. The bitter part is definitely the homework, the tests/quizzes, and the exams, while the sweet part is knowing that I have "work" to do rather than staying home all the time fangirling over 12 guys that I will never be able to meet them because SMTOWN never comes to Canada! ARGHHH!!

So, I'm already done the back-to-school shopping, I just bought some dividers and notebooks. I don't shop for back-to-school outfits because I have to wear a uniform to school. This year, I will be going into grade 10, and I'm super nervous because in grade 10, you have to write this literacy test, and you have to pass it to get into grade 11. For first semester, I have Science, Civics/Careers, French, and English. First semester is definitely not going to be easy, but i think if I work hard, then I'll be able to get good grades, and my second semester will be super easy. During grade 9, I didn't join any clubs because I didn't have time since I'm a figure skater. This year, I'm planning on cutting back my figure skating practices so that I can try out for the hockey team. One of my biggest fears in highschool is failing courses, but I heard that university likes to pick students not just based on their grades, but also if they joined any clubs/teams because universities like all-round students.

On a random note, fans recently saw Lay, Luhan, and Tao going back to China. I'm pretty sure that they're visiting the parents after all, I don't think SM want the "Hangeng leave" to happen for a second time. 

On another random note, I really do hope that in the future, SM will come to Canada. 

That's really it for now. Have a great day on your first day of school!

EXO-M Luhan to perform with BoA for Only One

Hey!

So when found out that Luhan was going to perform with BoA for Only One. My reaction was

Credit: to the rightful owner
Well, I was happy that Luhan got the part and was able to dance with BoA, but at the same time, I was kind of disappointed. Obviously Luhan is the "face" of EXO-M, so I wasn't that surprised, and also when Sehun went to perform with BoA, Luhan was accompanied him. I was really hoping that it would be Unicorn Lay because he's said many many times that he is the dancer of EXO-M and I was really hoping that this would be one of his chances to show off his dancing talent. Luhan is really good dancer, but I was hoping that SM would just give other members of EXO-M a chance. I mean, Kai is the face of EXO-K, but it was Sehun who got to dance with BoA. Well, why can't that be Lay? Plus, Lay was with both Kai and Sehun in a DANCING teaser.

 

Don't worry  Lay, one day, you will get your chance. On a random note, Sehun looks really good here. Anyhow, here is the video of Luhan dancing with BoA




Well, that's all for now otherwise if I keep on continuing, I'm going to get a lot of haters, good luck to EXO in the future, and have a happy school year.

EXO-M version of Boys Over Flowers

Hey!

So, I recently finished watching Boys Over Flowers and I have to say that it was awesome. Boys Over Flowers is the first ever Korean Drama I've ever watched and the drama really got me interested in Kdramas. Right now I'm currently watching To the Beautiful You starring Minho and Sulli, and Meteor Shower which is the Chinese version of Boys Over Flowers. So here is a picture of Boys Over Flowers and Meteor Shower.

From left to right: Kim Joon as Song Woo Bin, Kim Bum as So Yi Jung, Lee Min Ho as Gu Jun Pyo, Koo Hye Sun as Geum Jan Di, and Kim Hyun Joong as Yoon Ji Hoo (Credit: to the rightful owner)
Meteor Shower

From left to right: Wei Chen as Ye Shuo (Woo bin), Zhang Han as Murong Yunhai (Gu Jun Pyo), Zheng Shuang as Chu Yuxun (Jan Di), Zhu Zi Xiao as Shangguang Ruiqian (Yi Jung), and Yu HaoMing as Duanmu Lei (Ji Hoo). (Credit: to the rightful owner)
If you've seen Meteor Shower, then you probably know that the plot is twisted in a unique way which I personally find it really interesting because it's not really fun watching Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese version all following the same plot. Anyways, I don't really think that EXO-M fits the Meteor Shower character's personalities, but for Boys Over Flowers, they do.

I honestly can see Kris as Gu Jun Pyo just because he is the tallest out of all six, and he has that angry bird face like Jun Pyo. Jun Pyo's is a very protective person, and Kris definitely has that protective aura around him, but at the same time, Jun Pyo does smile a lot and I think if Kris tried, he can definitely produce a bright smile. I definitely see Kris do the same things as Jun Pyo.

As for So Yi Jun, I definitely think Tao would be the best fit because when Tao smiles, he has that "player" look and plus he's really good looking. Yi Jung's character is very flirtations, has that arrogance, but at the same time, we did see Yi Jung's soft side when he was with Ga Eul. Although Tao is a shy person, we've all seen Tao's arrogance or should I say confidence when he was on Do Your Best when he was high up in the air singing MAMA. I think that if Tao gained just a little bit more confidence, I know that he would play a good Yi Jung. Plus there are a lot of fighting scenes in Boys Over Flowers and I think that Tao should definitely show off his talent in wushu. Or, they could add a scene where Tao save Ga Eul from robbers using his awesome wushu skills.

I think that Luhan fits best with Ji Hoo because of both their personalities. Both Ji Hoo and Luhan have that kindness and vulnerability in their eyes. Ji Hoo smiles a lot in the drama just like Luhan in real life. Almost every interview EXO-M has been, Luhan always smiles, and both are very caring people. I think that the main difficulty for Luhan is that Ji Hoo is very nice, and gentle which Luhan has but, Ji Hoo is also very manly, he rides on motorcycles, he kisses Jan Di, and he does punch people in the drama. Punching is honestly something that I can't see Luhan do but for some reason, I do see Luhan riding a motorcycle and kissing Jan Di. Other than that, Luhan has the same hairstyle as Ji Hoo and the same smile which makes him the perfect Ji Hoo.

 
See, they're just like twins. Except one's Korean, and the other one is Chinese (Credit: to the rightful owner)

In terms of Woo Bin, I'm torn between either Lay or Hangeng. I'm leaning towards Hangeng more than Lay because Woo Bin's character is really mature and I just don't think Lay is mature enough. I really don't know, what do you guys think?

What do you guys think? Hangeng or Lay?

For Geum Jan Di, I think Victoria from fx is the best fit because they both have that cuteness. I think that Victoria is extremely cute, but I do have a hard time seeing her yelling. However, I maybe wrong, since she already has acting experience starring Ya Yin at a new Taiwanese drama, When Love Walked In. I do see Victoria doing things like what Jan Di did, for example the high kick, wearing that Wonder Woman outfit, and being drunk. I'm not gonna lie, I do think that many people will be jealous of Victoria because she does get to kiss both Luhan and Kris. 

 
What do you all think? (Credit: to the rightful owner)

So, there you go! Here's the EXO-M or the Chinese SM version of Boys Over Flowers. 

Here's a little recap.
Victoria Song as Geum Jan Di
Kris Wu as Gu Jun Pyo
Luhan as Yoon Ji Hoo
Tao as So Yi Jung
Hangeng/Lay as Song Woo Bin

What do you all think of the cast and who should play Woo Bin? Hangeng or Lay?

Evolution of Kris Wu!

Hello again!

So I found this picture on tumblr.


So this is a picture of Kris in the Korean version of Hana Kimi. I thought that it was pretty funny since the way the pictures are laid out reminds me of a high school yearbook. Speaking of highschool year books, a while ago on tumblr, someone revealed Kris's highschool years. I think the first picture was taken either in 9th or 10th grade.

WOW! Kris has changed a lot! Although I have to say that he doesn't look that different from the way he looks now, apart from his dyed hair and his dyed eyebrows, Kris still has that angry bird face, and his nose looks completely the same thing. Some differences are that he seems more tanned in grade 9/10 than he does now, but of course when you are in the kpop industry, many artists are expected to be very pale, which I personally disagree because if you are too pale, it's going to seem like you have some sort of disease. Another difference I see are his eyebrows. Kris's eyebrows today seems more bushy than they did before. I personally prefer the bushy eyebrows because it gives his face more depth, and it gives his fans like charismatic face, while thin eyebrows kind of gives you that blank look on your face. The next picture of Kris, is completely different.

WHOA!! I think this picture was taken in 11th grade. No offence to Kris and Kris's fangirls, but he does not look good here. I don't know if it's the picture but I think that he really needs to shave, and get a professional hair stylist. Maybe it was a bad hair day, I have absolutely know idea what's going on in this picture. Although I do have to admit that his eyebrows look way better, he still has that angry bird face, and maybe it's the angle that the picture was taken but he looks like he got a nose job. Because of the hair, I don't know if he got ears pierced. On a random note, the picture says "point grey secondary," so I went online and typed in Point Grey Secondary and it has its own Wikipedia page. Click here to see the Wikipedia page. On the Wikipedia page, it has a list of notable alumni, and there's a lot of notable alumni including Mr. Wu. If Kris wanted to become a kpop artist at a very young age, then he might have already known that Point Grey Secondary has a lot of notable alumni. 

During Kris's highschool years, he definitely looked like the archetypal character of the "bad boy" but now, he's turned into an angel from heaven

Of course, I think all the girls wish to have Kris as their guardian angel. Honestly, who would have ever thought that Kris went from a blank face, to a "bad boy", and now to a guy that girls fall over for. It really shows how people can really change. After looking at his pre debut pictures, it kind of reminds of that story "The Ugly Duckling," but I won't elaborate on that because otherwise I'm going to get out of control talking about it so yeah... 

That's it for now, may all your dreams come true.

A Quick Update

Hey!

So I know it's been a very long time since I've updated my blog, you know, it's kind of nice taking break from blogging. Back to my blog...

EXO recently traveled to Thailand to promote (obviously!), and came back. To be completely honest, I was surprised that they would go to Thailand instead of Taiwan. I mean 4/12=1/3 can speak fluent Chinese so that the rest of the members won't have problem with the language barrier, plus Chen and Xiumin's Chinese is improving, and EXO-K can always ask EXO-M for help with their Chinese. However, most SM groups eventually go to Taiwan anyways, so I guess it won't be long until EXO travels to Taiwan.

Super Junior M in Taiwan
Right now, EXO is currently working on their new album which I can't wait! I really hope that My Lady will be their new album, and I hope there will be songs that Kris and Lay wrote. However, what I'm really excited for is that a while ago on weibo, the Hunan Do Your Best team wants EXO-M to come back and record another show!

On tumblr, they are showing some pre debut pictures of Luhan.

Do you know where Luhan is?
I thought that this was really cute because now I realize why Luhan is really tall. Another thing is that Kris isn't the only one that plays basketball, in the future, I would love to see Luhan vs. Kris. Hehehe...

Oh yes, my pointillism painting is coming along, I only have to do the bottom part like the lake part and I'm done, and yes, I did promise to upload my short hair don't worry, it's still short, it's just that I can't find the cable that attaches to the computer so yeah... School is definitely around the corner, I recently got new uniforms, and I haven't done much this summer other than reading the Lorien Legacies, so I'm going to this volunteer workshop where I have to bring a resume and a cover letter, and I have no idea what I'm going to write. However, this is life and in the future when I'm looking for a job, I will have to write a resume and a cover letter AGAIN, but this is all part of experience.

Well I'm going to watch the Olympics now so bye!
