Elisabeth The Musical


My second pre-trip reserved ticket! Elisabeth The Musical, with Kim Junsu

In this post I will tell you how hard to get(almost impossible) some tickets can be.

Well, to be fan of a very famous Kpop group it  has its disadvantages, one and the most worrisome it's to get tickets to see your idols!. I have to confess that being a Cassiopeia is very difficult, our idols are literally the Gods from the West, so guess what? Tickets disappear in just some minutes! >.<

So, How did I get my ticket? ------> MIRACLE

When I was looking for tickets, (I must say I was late and I didn't have hope to find any), I searched for the dates Kim Junsu will be performing, and one by one, all dates were already sold out!, not even one damn space for me! I hated myself for not being aware of this before!

But I didn't loose my faith (what reminds me of JJ and YC tatoo: Always keep the faith), I checked the dates again and again every day, and there it was!! One ticket got canceled and it was available!!

Have you ever bought a ticket in less than 2 minutes? that was my first time, I didn't want to loose my opportunity to see Junsu singing in a musical, I found out how skillful I can be in emergency situations, I filled up all the spaces in a blink of an eye #proudofmyself

So, Thanks to my Gods I got my ticket, it was going to be held in the National Theatre, I dress up formally, black dress and high heels (which I wanted to take them off just minutes after! there were killing me!), and to my surprise everybody were wearing blue jeans and flip flops. I did hate even more the high heels I was wearing.

The place was fantastic and huge!, I noticed at that moment how far from the stage my seat was, or do I have to say how high away? anyway, it's better than nothing.

I could tell we all were Junsu's fans, every time we heard his voice, sounds of excitement arose everywhere.

I didn't even blink, it was so fantastic and charming, the stage changed so many times and each one of them were so amazing. You could see the inside of a castle, and some minutes later, it was a beautiful park and a river with boats, how is it possible?

Their voices, no words, they made it so vivid, I just wanted to cry time to time.

Now I will tell you about Elisabeth's story (or what I understood it was)

Elisabeth is from a well known family, when she was a kid she liked to walk in a rope. One time she went to the circus and start walking on the rope and felt off. Tod (the death) went to take her with him, but something happened (don't ask me what) but he let her live.
Elisabeth grew up, and got married to some kind of noble man, Tod always visited her and sang to her try to convince her to go with him, but she always refuse.
Elisabeth had a baby, but Tod take him  away (he died after birth). Tod was so mad at her, he was jealous because she was with other man, so that was his revenge.
After some years she got pregnant again, it was a boy and he grew up without his mother, Elisabeth was not allow to be with him and to rise him. Elisabeth was so depressed, Tod visited often, but she didn't want to died and leave her son alone. Tod also visited the son, and keep him company.
After a lot of years, when the son was older, he didn't want to be like his father, he followed the advises Tod gave to him and tried to get free, but plans didn't go well and he became a betrayer, Tod had planned everything from the beginning, he went to him for the last time, sang to him and convinced him to kill himself with a gun.
Elizabeth could not take it anymore, and when Tod appeared in front of her, she kissed him and died, so at the end Tod got what he wanted.

Junsu's role was really mysterious, He always had to laugh very darkly, always wearing black extravagant clothes, and his songs were very powerful and with a bit of rock on it. *sighs*

Something I will always remember is when all light turned on as if the show had ended, I got up, put on my shoes and almost left haha, nobody told me there was a break *ashamed* but actually I was glad I had more time to see the performance, it was so damn good...

It lasted 3 hours, full of good songs, scenarios, dresses, choreographs... at the end public stood up and clap for 20 minutes, when Junsu showed up it was even louder.

I am really happy I have chosen to be fan of a very talented persons, they really deserve to be so popular. Hardworking, handsome and talented... did I said handsome? yes, sorry :P

Conclusion: Another MUST watch!!

B.A.P Concert 2012-08-18

Before coming to Korea I had reserved my tickets for one musical and one Kpop concert, It's funny... you can't restrain your kpoper blood. So, I just had one day to remember how to use the subway, read maps in Korean and try to get around by myself.


Actually I did very well, I got to Jamsil very quickly and then I just followed the bunch of fans I knew they were going to the same place.

B.A.P concert August 18th Live on Earth -Seoul

There were two dates, I chose to go to the last concert of their world tour, I don't regret going even though I wasn't a Baby yet. Guess what? Now I love them.

A lot of foreigners! They are getting pretty famous out there, and what surprised me the most was their fans, they don't have chants, instead their use whistles, I like the noise they made, always in harmony with their songs, I really regret not having one of those.

It's sad that the place wasn't completely full, but it didn't matter and the show started.

The introduction of their concert is so nice, explaining about the planet and the Matokis, and then their spaceship landed on Earth, Literally!! a spaceship slowly went down the stage and B.A.P came out from it!

How can I describe their concert!? I don't have words! It was absolutely perfect! Their music and the show of lights they have is so vivid that make you enjoy every damn second of the concert. I remember I kept smiling the whole concert, I was absolutely happy, they make me happy, I love their energy that spread all over the place.

My favorite songs? I can't choose, all of them were perfect, but I love Zero and One shot.

Zelo is a little devil, he likes to play with the fans, he is so adorable that make me regret be born a lot of years before him LOL

We were not allow to take pictures, the ones who did it they were taken out of the place :(

This kind of stuff remind me the reason why I love KPOP, that's is something that completes your live (I'm being cheesy, so let's stop here)

Conclusion: You MUST go to a B.A.P concert!!

Living in Korea

Hi again!!!

Right now I am so excited because I am writting from South Korea, it's been 3 weeks since I arrived here to study in a Korean University for one semester.

I really missed this country... when I went to Insadong and later on after seeing the Jongno tower I almost cry... it brought all the memories back.

What I've been doing since I arrive? A lot of things... As you know I am a Kpoper so actually I am starting to think of myself as an stalker hahaha.. but you know I am taking 7 courses at the University but I will do my best to show you all the Hallyu things I can find in Korea.

Weather in Korea was really hot when I arrived (middle August) but now is getting colder (18°C) in a week I think Fall season is gonna start, I'm so happy about that.

Several things had surprise me a lot about the Korean culture and I am actually trying to accept it.. you know... Korea is not as it appears in dramas.

In my next posts I will tell you how the B.A.P concert was, also the musical Elisabeth in which KimJunSu (JYJ) acted and last but not less: Incheon Korean Music Wave concert :D

A lot of interesting things to tell... please don't hate me ;)

See you
