Just in time for the big Game of Thrones season finale, musician Luna Lee is here to perform a wonderful Korean-style cover version of composer Ramin Djawadi’s theme song from the hit HBO fantasy. We can imagine dragons flying overhead as this track plays.

Yoo Jei, a then 16 year-old Korean girl turns in an surprising and soulful performance of the Billy Joel classic New York State of Mind during her run for the title on the show KPOP STAR back in 2015. We can’t believe she didn’t win.

Almost entirely wordless, Korean MMORPG Blade & Soul leaves nearly everything to the imagination with this beautiful (but largely un-narrated) North America Debut trailer.
