Wow! I understand that these comrades Che came from Japan, but nevertheless now I feel much more connected with T-Ara (on some deep level).

You can see Boram unpacking little case, and pen has a toy attached - Boram calls it Pikachu: https://youtu.be/e05d_s38_oc?t=44m43s But actually this toy is character from old Soviet cartoon - Cheburashka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheburashka : Here is the scene described in Wikipedia `s article I suspect that for Japanese children Cheburashka looks like Pokemon. It was so strange for me to see this toy in Boram`s hands. -) PS When I was a kid I did not like stop motion toy cartoons. But Cheburashka series were just super. Animation was so natural, articulated and expressive. PPS Noticed a link of character`s name to iconic T-Ara`s song?

Oh Hyuk (오í˜) & IU - Gondry (공드리) + 무릎 @ 2015 SBS ê°€ìš”ëŒ€ì „ Hyukoh caught me by their track "Comes and Goes". Live with several tracks

I feel your passion in that post. -) In university I studied technical/engineering cybernetics (practically rocket science) and supposed to work in space shipbuilding field. But USSR fell apart in 1991 (a year before my graduation) and all space programs were closed or put on hold, So I started to work as a programmer. I really love programming but sometimes I am slightly sad that space engineering was snatched from me. I have been there, but (1) it is very dry and (2 and the most) I want to interact with you guys, to make and maintain connections, to read opinions and to watch (possibly rare) videos. My question had practical reason (beside emotional communicative one) - when I am on the road (and that`s 3 hours per day) I listen audio player, and I created two folders for T-Ara`s tracks there: pure emotional with ballads, slow versions, and pure energetic with dance hits. Ballads I discussed earlier. Thank you for "Falling U" I will add it. And "Why We Separated" is already in ballad part of collection. All T-Ara`s performances I just love to watch at my PC. Thank you!

Hey, both versions were one after another in the search but I skipped "Hue" due to different title. I wonder why they changed title? Thank you. Another one dance hit is acquired. Edit: Ta-tam! Your ahjussi just became Debutee! Edit: I would gladly add "Love suggestion", BUT I am pretty much sure that I will blush or worse - loose orientation every time it is playing. Song is cooool though. Was it released as audio track?

This one is interesting. If only it was in Korean, anyway should listen it more. Thank you. "Target" sounds like track from old video game. -)

A rhetorical question for myself - why "1977" isn`t in my ballad part of T-Ara`s track collection??? There is no answer... Another masterpiece goes to collection. Ok, as for dance hits (groovy ones - which makes you nod to the beat, knock fingers, jerk leg, etc) I like these: T.T.L. Listen2 - which is strange because I am indifferent to hip-hop (as well as to house and to club) style in general, but beside overall high quality this track really impresses me with Hyomin`s and Eunjung`s parts - they are so powerful and well blended with Supernova`s energy; BoPeep BoPeep - beat is correct for me and sky level of cuteness; Roly Poly - hooked by disco legacy; Lovey-Dovey - don`t know ... it`s just flawless, and btw it has resemblance to some early disco tracks of Michael Jackson; Sexy Love - I hear a break-dance elements here, which was our obsession after the disco era back in 80s; So Crazy - jazz and rock-n-roll feeling in this one. Jeon Won Diary and Little Apple do grow in me the more I listen them. Unfortunately in Sugar Free I like only chorus (so much that I even caught myself at humming it doing home cleaning). So far I did not meet T-Ara`s tracks of bad quality, it`s just that other tracks either do not fall into dance category (being too slow) or just not in my taste. But, I only listen T-Ara for 2 months so it could be that I just missed many tracks. Can you guys post yours favourite T-Ara`s dance hits (which I missed) here?

Sorry to hear that. Now you keep living in her honor (I mean not only for yourself). Take a beam of sympathy from me.

When I saw this ep for the first time I did not get why Rian could not sing at that Little apple beauty pageant. Only now I guessed that it was due to JB and Hae Seung presence. Right? Scene with Rian and her mother reminded me Poor girl... At her age I have never parted with my mom for more than a month.

Tough occupation you have. Writing is considered as very lonely experience. I have never been able to squeeze out more than a page of text at literature lessons. I am in deep awe toward writers who can put beautiful and/or captivating texts. Good luck and respect. Yeah. Overall Jiyeon did her acting so good that sometimes I almost did burst with negative emotions toward her character. I want to mention another character from DH2 which caught me - Hae-sung`s little sister. She was adorable. And I think girl will be boys magnet at older age.

And remember how she approved with a laughter his decision to not perform as idol at final performance. To me what you wrote are properties of true friendship.

And they gain respect to each other as performers. They performed together really well and that created that teammate bond. Imo.

I see that you did not forget about a man fully responsible for characters - writer. I saw countless time people argue severely forgetting that they are talking about fictional characters. -) "do you like me now?" - isn`t focus here on "now" since they were in the warring sides in earlier episodes? He was on Hae-sung`s side in conflict with Rian. "I really really like nice girls, so don't act as if you're nice" - isn`t "nice" here about the change of Rian`s behaviour ? She was displayed as arrogant, selfish even bitchy at first, which was not nice.

Question is rhetoric. Ofc all fans wait for every public event. As for first schedule after you-know-what I assume that event in Korea in front of mixed audience should truly reveal changes of opinions toward T-Ara. And we all hope to see these big changes.

I don`t know, I did not perceive Yoojin - Rian relationships as love. To me it was friendship. Ofc when both - girl and boy - are attractive you can`t completely throw this out. But friendship is not about that. And another ofc - if you are shipper then all said doesn`t matter. Edit: Plus Yoojin recognized passion to perform, to prove yourself, to chase your dream in Rian. Plus they became kinda team since Rian performed with guys on the street.

Then why is it "March 2nd 1986" in the OP??? Edit: From wikipedia - Jeon Bo-ram was born on March 22, 1986 (I sent a message to craZy about that typo in OP.) Btw, in 1986 I graduated from school and managed to enter the university. Sweet memories. Wait, what? Qri was a bassist in rock group? Wow!

Summer is coming Btw, one day to Boram`s birthday, right?

20:15 - Hyomin`s solo part "Love suggestion" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehCi2EQ5hDQ (one word - SEISMIC) 22:08 - Wanna play

I am reluctant to post it, but since the thing returns to my mind I will let it out. T-Ara woke up my interest in Korea. First I did read about Korean language and alphabet because I really enjoy the sound of Korean speech and the look of text. I was truly excited to learn about cool features like vowel harmony and perfect letters design (most linguists call Korean alphabet "the most perfect phonetic system devised"). Then I went into history of a country. What a rough time was XX century for Korea! And here came shock of learning that USSR (my own country) played huge role first in separation of North and South and then in starting the civil war. Ofc I knew that there was a civil war (although never knew the scale) and somehow I thought that separation came after the war (which actually was vice versa). Some actions do not deserve forgiveness and I am in no position to ask about forgiveness. But I am deeply disgusted by actions of USSR authorities in Korea. Ideology is a monstrous thing. Sorry for off topic.

I did not see "God of study" yet. I started "Jungle fish 2" but was not involved enough. But "Dream high 2" did glue me...

Yeah. I meant ballad versions, slow versions and pure ballads - I suspect in sum their number is bigger.

Jam or gem? -) I reckon 'Treasure box' is masterpiece. Selection and pace of performances, all solo parts - all are just superb. Hyomin`s part was hot (no - HOT), Eunjung`s part was cute, Soyeon`s part was tender and velvety smooth, and every part of Jiyeons` solo was tender too - music, Jiyeon`s image and voice, whole scenography (with guy on the bench and sea on background, smooth lights) - but it drives me to tears every time I see it. (I am hopeless romantic, I know.)

After 2 months of listening T-Ara` tracks I can state that strongest emotional impact I receive from "Lies (slow ver)" - heart is crying, and "Good person" - heart is torn into little pieces (especially by Eunjung`s parts). Jiyeon`s "My sea" also steers sad feelings inside quite powerfully but that would be unfair comparison because first I was stunned by this solo part from Budokan concert video, so now I unavoidably transfer that impression on audio track. Overall ballad and slow versions settled in my collection twice more than dance hits.
