My Favorite MV for September 2014

Every month I try to pick a favorite music video (MV).  This month the one that caught my eye is the one that is sung by "Della丁噹".  I believe it is a promotion for an upcoming drama called Sound of the Desert (formerly, Da Mo Yao, Legend of the Moon and Star)

The selection was based on the singing and the musical accompaniment consisting of various instruments including a piano, various strings, and a flute). Together with the video clips from the drama makes it my favorite MV for this month.



This music video trigger my memory of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" detailing "the turbulent years towards the end of the Han dynasty."  I have always enjoyed reading about the different leaders including Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

I am curious about the new drama, but probably wait before it becomes available in the states.

My Favorite MV for August 2014

Henry Lau Cho Young-pil
OK... I thought I share with you my favorite music video for last month (not necessary the latest).  After much deliberation (if you believe that), I am selecting Henry Lau's (of Super Junior-M) cover of  Cho Yong-pil's 'BOUNCE'   I love he adds the various sound tracks as the music video progresses creating a unique and entertaining video.  

'Henry's Real Music : You, Fantastic' Ep.5. Cho Yong-pil's 'BOUNCE' by Henry


The cover is based on Cho Yong-pil who is highly regarded as well known industry as the "king" of Korean pop music.  Over his career he has performed around the world including Carnegie Hall.  It is always worth viewing and listening to the original artist and song.  The song does have some bounce.  :)


Great job to Henry Lau and SM Entertainment and special kudos to Cho Yong-pil.
