Anyways, what I wanted to blog about is Kim Yuna (The world-renowned Olympic Korean ice skater, Kim Yuna for those of you who are uncultured or don't have a TV or the internet.) and her new ice show; Kiss & Cry. (for those of you who don't read titles.) (Ok. I'll stop now. NO MORE PARENTHESIS!!) It's basically like the equivalent of America's Skating with the Stars except 10 times better because it's Kim Yuna. In my humble opinion.
The first episode aired recently, yesterday I believe? Now I admit I didn't watch the WHOLE show, I was only interested in seeing my favorite stars/idols; TVXQ's Yunho, IU, and f(x)'s Krystal, etc.
The first performance I watched was IU's. I'm a HUGE fan of IU I love her to death! She's basically the most adorable human being on the planet.
Now, obviously it was not the greatest performance in the world, and yes she did FALL. But I personally thought that the fall was a part of the choreography! And I think that IU showed real professionalism by getting back up and finishing the performance! Yeah, yeah, I can hear you all saying it "You're IU biased!!" And maybe I am and maybe the judges were too easy on her. But come on the girl is 18 years old she's probably one of the busiest 18 year olds at that, I mean everywhere I look left and right she's on some kind of variety show or doing some type of performance or jetting off to another country to do a photoshoot, this girl has got a FULL PLATE. and I mean REALLY full like loaded up with kimchi and bibimbap and dukbokki and any thing you can think of. So considering that she probably had the least amount of time to practice and I know she really put her heart into it I'd say she did pretty well.
Also if you're a fan of IU you probably know she's not exactly the most athletic person. She doesn't even really dance, so it was probably harder for her than it was for someone like Yunho (who I'll get to in a minute. ;D) who is an incredible dancer. I enjoyed watching her and she was adorable as usual! I loved seeing Jiyeon(T-ara) and Yoo In Na there cheering her on!
Next up I watched TVXQ's Yunho's performance. Which I'm sure a lot of fangirls out there were looking forward to, myself included. ^___^

I only have 3 words for you to describe Yunho's performance. HOT. SEXY. AMAZING. Yeah, that's right. Yunho BLEW me away!! I know this guy is talented (I should since TVXQ was my first ever Kpop group I got into.) He can sing, he can dance, he can rap, he can act(kind of.), and now he can ICE SKATE?! *passes out* Seriously, is he trying to kill us?! His Michael Jackson inspired performance was so hot. hot. HOT!! The way he did the moonwalk on skates!? I didn't know that was possible.
I loved the beginning with him sitting on the bench and when he flips the hat onto his head. WOOO! My first thought was "Yunho, will you marry me?" and I would have gotten down on one knee if it wasn't for the cuts to the crowd showing Changmin cheering his bandmate on. AGHHH! Changmin why must you do this to me every time!? Even when someone else is being all amazing and sexy all you have to do is sit there and point and clap and my eyes can't be torn away from you!! OTL. I have an extreme bias for Changmin. It's true love. He just doesn't know it yet. >.<
Okay, I'll stop gushing on and on about Changmin and Yunho, next up Krystal's tango/salsa/whatever inspired skating performance!
Now I gotta say I wasn't expecting that much from Krystal (SNSD Jessica's underrated sister) but I was really impressed!! Now I would say that her performance for me was just a tad lackluster, nothing compared to Yunho's but 10 times better than IU's (See guys, I'm not IU biased!). I really liked the one move she did with the chair (well the whole thing was kind of with a chair...) when she sat down on it. Yeah that doesn't sound impressive at all when you read it but watch the video! I thought she looked gorgeous and really elegant and graceful! I'd put her in 2nd place with Yunho in 1st and IU in 3rd. Obviously this isn't counting any of the other contestants because like I said I only watched these 3 performances.
Let me know what you guys thought of the first episode of Kiss & Cry! Who was your favorite performance/contestant?
