"Hymn Of Death" And The Song "Caro Mio Ben"

Hymn of Death was based on the true, tragic star-crossed love story of Yum Sim Deok and Kim Woo Jin. Woo Jin was already married to a disagreeable wife when he met Sim Deok. Sim Deok also sang a song called "Caro Mio Ben". It's an Italian song released in 1783 and composed by Giuseppe Giordani.

Now, it's time for the English translation of the song from Lyrics Translate:

My darling dear

at least believe me,

without you

my heart languishes.

My darling dear,

without you

my heart languishes.

Your faithful admirer

always sighs.

Stop, cruel one,

being so harsh.

Stop, cruel one,

being so harsh1

So harsh!

My darling dear

at least believe me,

without you

my heart languishes.

My darling dear

at least believe me,

without you

my heart languishes.

An interesting thing to notice is that Shin Hye Sun is obviously lip-syncing. In reality, she just can't sing... =P

This video shows that she's really indeed TONE DEAF. Well, I'm pretty tone deaf myself too. I'm just reminded of the 15th episode of Chojin Sentai Jetman where Ako was shown to be rather out-of-tune. Not helping really that she really has physical similarities to actress Sayuri Uchida.

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her. The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think. Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
