IT SOO CUUUTE. :">
Everything reminds me of my older sister . She kinda a kind of girl you would find in this book. Yes, those kind who's obsessing about those korean dramas and kpop. Well, I'be got to admit that I was hooked to korean dramas last year (for I was too bored). :D
Anyway, I ALSO WANT TO MEET MY OWN SEOUL MATE. haha. :)

“Popped” tells the story of Andie Bautista and her friends, Trixie, Nica, and Cesca. The four of them have been brought together by what the initially call their “secret shame” — a fondness for Korean dramas and KPop.
That secret shame soon blows up into a full blown obsession, as Andie and the guys end up not just collecting any available merchandise on their Korean idols, but going on trips to Tokyo and Korea just to watch them perform and hopefully bump into them and be their friend, in real l...more

If you are a fangirl of all things Korean or you are keeping it a secret from all the real people in your first life then you should pick up Popped and Popped 2, along with some other Summit books (just to make it look like you are a chick lit fan and not a fan of kpop including book) and line them up to read. I have been a collector of some of these books and I would recommend No Boyfriend since Birth, No Strings Attached amongst many others. I have a few more than I care to mention.

I was quite reluctant to read this at first, not being a fan of chick lit nor K-Pop per se. However, this book trashed my every idea of chick lit. Not only was it the closest-to-home (being written by a Filipina) chick lit book I've read, it's also the BEST!
I reckon it's the casual girly language and infamous sarcastic humor that got me leafing through the pages with a giddy grin. I liked the friendship formed between the four girls mostly, and among the four I adored Trixie most especially her...more

I was very much excited to read this chick lit. Imagine, a book dedicated to Pinay kpop fans.
Well, I'm not like Andi though. I never had a boyfriend yet but my addiction to kpop started in kdramas as well. I think those are the roots.
When I checked on the checklist, I thought "This book is meant for me".
Every chapter, talagang napapapintig ang puso ko. Nakadagdag pa na ang nagpeplay na songs ay KPOP at JPOP. Talagang nagpipilit akong tapusin sya in a day. Pero dahil sa acads, naging one week ><....more

Fluffy, fluffy, fun. I enjoyed reading it mainly because I could really put myself in the girls' shoes. I've seen lots of the scenarios and I've probably even felt what they were feeling at one point or another. Sometimes they freaked me out with their over-the-top antics and I'd make faces at the book much as I'd make faces at crazy fangirls in real life. The ending was a little too surreal, but if that's what's coming to all fangirls, then I say bring it on! haha just kidding. Cotton Candy Flu...more
Where to start? This is now one of my favorite books. It was an accidental find in the Filipiniana bookshelf at Fully Booked and I can't be any happier. Mainly it's about K-Pop fangirling and ohmygod-seo, it is so full of cuteness! The way the author wrote the book was so relatable, you'd start to believe it's about the fangirl in you.

awww... Popped reminds me too much of my Kpop obsession that I can't help but relate to the characters.
Andie and her friends are so fun you think you're reading about high school girls when in fact they are all working women. This book is about 4 bestfriends who are soo caught up in their kpop world (mostly Movement-fictional kpop band) that they found themselves in Korea and meeting their idols no less!!! whooo! thumbs up for them! sooo jealous...
anyway, its such a fun read that I took my time...more

My rating is actually 3.5. This is the chick-lit for K-Pop fanatics. It was really funny most of the time. A K-Pop male idol group was featured and they are a combination of Big Bang and 2PM. wahaha! The grown-up women who are secretly K-Pop fanatic surpassed my expectations of a K-Pop fanatic. (>.<) I can't see myself doing half the things they did. It was just crazy! But then again, if I will end up with a Korean Prince Charming, it will be worth it! :))
I shelved this book because it felt like a memoir when it's not supposed to be one. While fan girls might find it entertaining, it'll probably be hard for one to appreciate it if one isn't familiar or interested with the Korean wave, or anything Korean maybe. I myself had a phase of fangirling but this just didn't work for me.
Popped is like the story of every fangirl. I was totally hooked to it's story coz I can relate to the characters of this book. Love Popped! ♥
It's not you, it's me.
I'm just not a fan of K-Pop and it's craziness but I read it because it's an ok book. I just can't appreciate it as much you guys do.

Awesome! Hindi nawala ang kilig moments haha :D Looking forward to read the next 2 sequels <3
It was a fun read especially if you can relate to all the excitement you get in the fangirl world~
Super funny! Filipinos who are a fan of korean stars can really relate with this stories...
I have read POPPED TOO. This book is really hard to find in book stores.
The story made me reminisce my fangirling years!!!!!!!
"Just welcome," I smiled. "Welcome to the fantastic world" -- Gosh! This book is just a fun, light read. It sooooooo reminds me of the thrill and craziness I felt at the beginning of my love story with Seoul. This book made me miss Seoul and fangirling even more. Oh, the memories when life was exciting and had so much meaning. I miss it dearly.
This book is sooooo right for me! Can't wait to read it :)
its great
so LIKE..
To all the Kpop fangirls out there, you'll love this book, promise! ~ I will definitely read the 2 epic sequels! Yieeee, lots of love! Thank you for making my fangirl heart so kilig! <3
