A bunch of new song here. Lim Kim is actually “all right” (ㅋㅋㅋ), but I got bored by it really fast.

My Love, from Lee Seung Chul sound old, like a song from the 90, but not in a good way.

For Best Wishes To You, well, an acoustic version is just an acoustic version, and it seems that Korea does not know what an acoustic version means. I would have said “orchestra version” on the original one and leave this new version without any label to it.

I HATED A Good Boy from Baek A Yeon, it’s too… blend. It has nothing special or outstanding. It’s kinda boring and a bit too candy-bubbly-naive-whitish-girly for me.

I’m Sorry, from BATOOST, is really kinda boring too. Ok, you’ll think I’m a crancky music bitch that never like anything, but really, the song is just not cutting it for me.

Darling of All Hearts is not really good either, the country vibe makes me want to throw up. SunnyHill is not doing really that well lately. The songs are not good, at all. The MV before this one was at least interesting, but this one is just lacking.

And again, Lee Seung Chul, with The Day To Love this time. Again not really impress, except for the piano. So the instrumental part of the song is great, but the song… really blend too.

Overall, same old same old : too much OST stuff, too much songs of the same artist (could someone save me from my 4MEN mysery?).

So yeah, Sistar conquered that chart. Give It To Me actually was my ringtone for a while, the song and MV are great. The other songs are ok, but they don’t stand out as much that’s for sure.

Nell is awesome as usual. This song could actually be introduce to non-Kpop fans since it sounds a lot like U2.

Painkiller is not bad, but it just never stuck in my head even though I’ve listen to it plenty of time. And, I’m sorry, but Ivy’s song is just so blend. Considering the amont of hate she generates, I don’t quite understand how she got to the top 25 in the first place. Anyway…

Not too much to say about this one. 4 new songs that are not that impressive, but some of them are still somewhat good, like Bumkey’s Bad Girl or 2BiC’s Return. I’m not really into Sunshine, from Rainbow, even though I really like their last song. Maybe it’s the effect of the MV that feels like the aegyo demon puked all over it. Rainbow was more fun in Tell Me Tell Me, they still had aegyo stuff all over the MV, but there was some bad-ass stuff to compensate somehow, like one of the girl working on her motorcycle.

Am I the only one that is not really attracted to the drama every OST songs are from? From the MV, Gu Family Book seems to be bleeeh. Yes, Suzy and that dude and all, but it looks so “textbook” to me. I’ll check it out on Dramabeans though, then I’ll make up my mind about it. And you know… 4MEN… gosh, they are boring as hell.
