“I don’t know if I should be saying this… I miss Yunho and Changmin… No matter what anyone says, they’re our members and I know them better than anyone else… People might say it’s pointless in saying this but… I want to see them again. It’s been a while.”

I have mentioned before how much I adore Kim Jaejoong right? I wish I could thank him for writing this, it warmed my heart.

Always keep the faith.

Max Changmin

After giggling through a beautiful tribute-video to a certain evil maknae of TVXQ today, I realized something: I have never even once mentioned my love for Changmin in this blog! But I will now (and I will post the video mentioned above in the end of this post).

Max Changmin... Why do I like you so much?When I started listening to TVXQ, I first noticed Jaejoong (it's kind of inevitable when the first video you see is "Why did I fall in love with you". 'Cause you know, Jaejoongs face is the first one that shows up on the screen...). Anyway, after watching a few more videos, I realized that there was this really awesome guy doing these high-pitched powerful screams in several of the songs, and that is how I discovered Changmin.

Really, Changmin has a very unique voice. It's so strong and steady. Have you ever heard the scream in Rising Sun? That has got to be the coolest part of the whole song! His voice is one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard.

It's so hard to describe exactly what I like about Changmin. It's just the way he is. All quiet and in the background, until he suddenly has this brilliant insult/joke towards the other members. He's evil and smart, a dangerous but exiting combination. And he loves food. I love food as well. I love anyone who loves food.
And he's sexy. For real.

And he's openminded. I really think so. In an interview, he once claimed to like the movie Brokeback Mountain. You have no ideo how happy that statement made me. Changmin, openminded and wonderful!

I'll just leave it like that. No more rambling on how beautiful Changmin is. I love him, that's for sure, and I support him with my entire heart. Here's the tribute I mentioned, it's simply amazing.


Changmin, it feels like recently I haven't been able to see your wonderful smile enough, and you're getting skinnier every day that passes. Please eat more, stay healthy and be happy.

Today I saw this on SharingYoochun.net:
"Shim Changmin – It’s not easy for two (with U-Know Yunho) people to fill in the space of five people. I feel so much more responsibility now compared to when all I had to do was follow what my hyungs were doing. So I give my all for everything, dancing, singing and the visual aspect. There are times when I feel frustrated and disappointed. Sometimes, I ask myself, ‘After years of performing, I’m still the same, I’ve been doing fine without anything happening, but how did our team become this way?’ Idol singers who debut at a young age own many things people their age usually don’t own, and are faced with many temptations. I think people need to possess the power of discernment and good judgment."
Yes, it hurts to hear Changmin say things like this. That's really the only thing I can say. It hurts. As I've said before, I don't pick sides. I cannot pick a side when I love them all so much. So it hurts. It hurts that they have to talk about eachother in interviews, instead of doing the interviews together. It hurts that some things they say imply that they're not as close anymore. It hurts that they're not together. And most of all, it hurts that I don't know what's true and what isn't.

Yesterday night when I came home from a friend in the middle of the night, I went out in my garden and watched Cassiopeia, while crying and listening to this song:

How I miss them.

Paradise Ranch

Recently I finished the drama Paradise Ranch, with Changmin as one of the main characters. I might as well admit it, I watched it mainly because I love Changmin and wanted to see him act, I wasn't that exited about the actual drama. But now, after having seen it, I actually like it a lot.
It had some things I disliked, mainly just the short part where Changmin was way too possessive, telling her she couldn't meet the other guy etc. Possessiveness is a very unattractive quality in my opinion, and it almost hurt to see Changmin acting that way (I seriously had to remind myself that it was just a drama, and Changmin might be different in reality).
But mostly I liked this drama, since it never feels too unrealistic. I mean, it's never unnecessary dramatic, more like a very exaggerrated version of the reality. It's really sweet, especially since the story takes place on a ranch. It has kind of a friendly feeling. And I love that the ending wasn't cheesy and whimpy, as is the case with so many dramas (Really, I've been so dissapointed at some dramas just because of a whimpy ending.)
Changmin is good enough. He's not a great actor yet, but considering this is his first real try at acting, he does a good job. A lot of singers who try their hand at acting tend to act a bit exaggerrated at times, but Changmin doesn't, with maybe one or two exeptions. Changmin is good, and I would love to see him in more acting-projects.
I really recommend this drama, Paradise Ranch. It's not my favourite, but it's definitely one of the better ones!
