Just fancy that! Today’s two albums I’d like to recommend has this rain theme to it. Firstly, HyeJin’s debut album — Rain or Shine is a compilation of English and Korean jazz songs. My favourite tracks: Track 2 (For the Sunday afternoons I occasionally spend at City Mall) and Track 5 (Perfect bedtime song).

Another album worth listening is the soundtrack for the Korean film, A Good Rain Knows When To Come / Season of Good Rain which is a good forty minutes of instrumental guitar perfect for a weekend of relaxation. Have the album on loop and enjoy the moment. Listen here.

A quick film summary according to Koreatimes.co.kr: The film is set in Qingdao, China and its title was inspired by a stanza in a poem by Tang Dynasty writer Dubo — A good rain knows when to come. Directed by Hur Jin-ho; Starring Jung Woo-sung and Gao Yuanyuan.

Jung stars as a traveling architect who runs into a woman (Gao) he knew while studying abroad in the United States. The two realize that the friendship they shared back then had actually been love and rekindle the romance.

Walau your adsense is getting bigger bigger bigger and even bigger. lol. Eh, now only I realised your blog has similar direction as Dannychoo.com, he blogs about Japanese culture, lifestyle, anime, figurines and stuffs. I assume is because of your working line that has influence on your blog?

Just testing my placement. It is not finalized yet, of course. Quite possibly because we have the same interests hence the similarity. ^_^
