Erhu (Source) 2006/03/22
A song used in a cosmetics ad featuring actor Kwon Sang-woo has gained popularity recently. Many people have asked, "What musical instruments were used in the ad?" on internet sites. The song, which has an Asian melody, was played by Chinese erhu player Cao Xuejing and is called, "Put Your Hands Up".

There is a Korean musical instrument called the haegeum, which is a Korean-style fiddle with silk strings. Its Chinese counterpart is the erhu, a metal-stringed fiddle. The erhu, a traditional Chinese instrument, has always been likened to the haegeum because they are both string instruments and make similar sounds.

These days, it is easy to hear the sound of the erhu played not only in Korean pop songs, commercials and TV dramas, but also in Japanese pop music and even by musicians from other countries.

A familiar sound-

Couch potatoes get up and make own shows (Source) 2005/12/21
Television: the boob-tube, the idiot box, scourge of civilization, addiction of couch potatoes across the world, a passive medium that renders its victims immobile physically and mentally. Or at least, it used to be.
Leave it to Korea's Internet pranksters to flip television on its head. Now that almost every T.V. drama is also available over the Internet to anyone with a broadband connection, tech-savvy youths are using special software to capture freeze-frame images, edit them, add their own dialogue bubbles and then post these "drama cartoons" or "dratoons" on the Web.
These do-it-yourself dramas are often parodies. One that circulated widely was of based on MBC network's epic series "Sindon". Internet users noticed the resemblance of a character in "Sindon", Wonhyeon Monk, to the star of an earlier television series "Sinipsawon". Naturally, enterprising graphic artists mixed the two characters and plots to produce a video clip called "The Dream of Wonhyeon Monk". Explaining the p... |More

The pilot episode of the new Monday-Tuesday KBS TV2 miniseries "A Love To Kill" (written by Lee Kyeong-hee and produced by Kim Kyoo-tae) kept viewers riveted to their TV screens when it aired yesterday.

korean epic dramas by yeoreum

K
orean Epic Dramas are very incomparable... You will surely like them all... When i finished watching Dae Jang Geum (DJG), it took me months to get over with the DJG fever... Then came Seodongyo... It may not have come equal with the achievements of DJG, but still, it's so captivating that you really could not tell which one is better... I love them both and still watch my favorites scenes from time to time...
