With the success of Gangnam Style, K-Pop is suddenly becoming a thing. It's very big and bright and loud and catchy, and it might actually catch on in Canada. Is Gangnam Style just a fad or will K-Pop become mainstream?
Here's some background.

Some of my favourite videos:
Movies/TV Dramas
I think the best drama of 2012 was Ghost:
Trailer:
It's a big cyber-crime case (20 episodes)
Episode 1 (entire series english subtitled):

Another one I'm watching right now is King of Dramas.
It's a funny look of how a drama is made.. a drama poking fun at the drama making industry so it's really interesting. The first episode is about how to get a box of orange juice into a death scene as product placement!
Trailer:
Episode 1 (out of 6 so far) (english subtitled) (it airs Monday and Tuesday nights in Korea)
