Produce X 101- Second Elimination

Ok, episode 8, another elimination, but it was also mixed with the first part of the Concept Evaluation, which I will put in the Concept Evaluation post that combines all the Concept Evaluation parts. It was a nice distraction from the eliminations until they showed everyone crying having their last lessons, which honestly broke my heart because I don't want anyone to go home. For the entrances, my favorite was definitely Peak's. Other honorable mentions are Cho Seung Youn, Jeon Jae Han's and Woo Je Won's, and Park Sun Ho's.

I was honestly a bit surprised by the rankings there were a some people that rose drastically like Lee Hyeop and some that dropped like Kim Min Kyu. I'm honestly so happy for those that rose up the ranks because they really deserve it, but it was really sad seeing some people's rank drop. The top 11 for this episode were:

1. Kim Woo Seok
2. Lee Jin Hyuk
3. Kim Yo Han
4. Song Hyung Jun
5. Koo Jung Mo
6. Lee Eun Sang
7. Nam Do Hyun
8. Lee Jin Woo
9. Han Seung Woo
10. Kim Min Kyu
11. Son Dong Pyo

I was shocked by how much turnover there was from Episode 5. I was really surprised to see how much Lee Jin Hyuk rose. It was kinda funny to see TOP Media's Kim Woo Seok and Lee Jin Hyuk compete for first place. Honestly, the top 11 seemed pretty well rounded and wouldn't be terribly upset if that was the lineup. However, my top 11 are

1. Cho Seung Youn (Of course)
2. Park Sun Ho
3. Lee Hangyul
4. Han Seung Woo
5. Kim Kook Heon
6. Baek Jin
7. Kim Yo Han
8. Kim Si Hun
9. Song Yu Vin
10. Kim Dong Bin
11. Lee Jin Hyuk

The twist added in the end was surprising. I was honestly really happy that the eliminated trainees had another chance to stay on the show. I really wanted a lot of the guys to come back, because a lot of really talented guys were eliminated. I was really surprised to see Baek Jin, Kim Dong Bin, and Mi Dam eliminated because they seemed quite popular and are clearly talented. I was also surprised to see Won Hyuk did not make it either because he received 2 benefits by getting first place for the Rap Position. I really liked the clips that was shown for the trainee's videos because it was clear that they all really improved and are very talented.

It was really sad to see 30 trainees eliminated. I truly hope that all 101 trainees find success. I don't know what to expect from the next elimination, but I am looking forward to it. I am also super excited to see who comes back after the X Consolation. So... Um... Yeah...

Sailor Moon- Jadeite

After a watching a video on Sailor Moon that was constantly on my recommended on YouTube, I was reminded with how much I loved this show. This, of course, led me to rewatch the entire show because wasting hours of my life for no reason is my favorite past time. I also found that I seriously lacked anime content so that led me to want to write about it. I was trying to figure out how writing this would work because there are a lot of episodes which means I'm not going to review Sailor Moon as a whole because I would forget the beginning by the time I got to the end. I also would not review every single episode because again there are a lot and since it's a superhero show there are a lot of "throw away" episodes. (This also lead me to want to create an "essential viewing" list, which would include only episodes that I think is important in regards to plot or character development.) The arcs themselves are quite large and are split into even smaller parts with ...

NCT Dream- Chewing Gum

Ok, so, another sub group of NCT, NCT Dream, came out Chewing Gum. This might be favorite single that NCT came out with. It's so bright, fun, and cute. Every time I see the video I break out into a smile. The story is pretty lighthearted, and it's very entertaining to watch. I absolutely love the bright colors that they use throughout the video. It really adds to the group's cute and bright theme. I found the video quite interesting to watch. They had a variety of different sets, including the ones made by the computer, and all of them were of bright colors. I also enjoyed the electronic made backgrounds for when the members had the closeups. Each person had a different animated background, so it was interesting to see what was behind them. I also kind of funny that they were using those hoverboard-thingies. (I have no idea what they're called, but I think it's a hoverboard?) The song is quite catchy, and I could probably listen to it over and over again for hou...

Astro- Baby

For those who might know, Astro is a somewhat new group under Fantagio that debuted in 2016. I have been fans of theirs since I watched To Be Continued, which is available on Netflix. 😉 (Check it out!) Sanha has to be my bias 💛, but Moon Bin is such a bias wrecker. 😖 I LOVE this song! It continues their fresh, sweet, and fun concept that they have kept since debut. However, this is less cutesy and right up my alley. It's smooth but still bright, which is absolutely perfect. It has that certain funk to it that is irresistible and insanely catchy. The reoccurring beat is sooo catchy and is great. The electric guitar at 2:43 is EPIC!! I'd have to say though that the ending has to be my favorite part. That beautiful harmony hits the spot, and is perfection. But, Sanha singing the 2nd chorus was really great as well (I really love his voice 💛) One thing I love about this video is how it's filmed in first person so it feels as if you are truly experiencing what's happ...
