Woo hoo! No, I haven't seen the subbed Ep 8 yet, just the raw, so YAY for that (and the YT cuteness overload, too)!

re: AC ep 8...who else noticed that the village chief's name is Hua Ze Lei?!!? i laughed so hard at that. I also liked how when Vanness was drunk, makeup was even so great that he had that slight red tint to his skin.. ASIAN GLOW!!

Fantastic catch, lovenyc52

Time for me to do something useful (the names of the villagers are hilarious!)

The names of the Hua Tien (Flower Paddy) Villagers:

花癡心 - Tuo-ye's child-bride fiance chick - Hua Sze-hsin (a Hua sze is a foolishly sentimentally attached person, so she's foolishly attached to Tuo-ye).
花雕雞 - A flower engraved chicken
花椰菜 - a flower chinese vegetable
花煞煞 - a flower stop
花枝丸 - a squid ball
花蝴蝶 - a flower butterfly - also known as a flirt
花公主 - a flower princess

And best of all, apparently Tuo-ye's (the second male lead) dead father is named 花美男 (we see it on his deceased plaque). Hua is the last name, but Mei-nan is Mi-nam (and where do we currently know this very name??).

Thank you! I'm finally able to watch Red cliff on AZNV! Just started doing so since I couldn't sleep in this morning with my jet lagged body. Now I have to go and attend to my business stuff, been doing more ghost busting(part of my healing work) lately, strange, 4 requests in row...

Anyway, coming home tomorrow just in time for YB! By the time I get home, it'll be hopefully available on Viikii?

Anybody watching Hero? Is it any good? Plz let me know.

I'm still reluctant on AC. When I cry, I get all stuffed up... But so many praises here... I guess I'll join up soon or later.

@188 Mzpakipot -- A Mac is probably a fine choice, but a cheaper option is to go to Craig's list or FreeCycle and get an older laptop and load Ubuntu. It comes with Firefox, OpenOffice, a bit torrent client, audio & video players, etc. but has a very light footprint I have a couple of machines that were given to me by more cutting edge friends & relatives, and am very happy with that setup. I am not super techie, but really Ubuntu is easy. If you do get your new mac, you could turn your old laptop into an Ubuntu machine and get years more use out of it.

@ This belleza

It appears you need to guest-star in your favorite show QSS immediately. Ratings have declined double-digits since This Mishil up and went to hell/heaven. You are needed to revive the Seon-doek ratings beast.

Perhaps you should do QSS before signing onto the YB Season 2 as Shin-woo's erstwhile love interest.

Can I be your agent? Zero fees, only want to tag along on set.

@langdon
Thank you...that video was funny...I needed that.

@YB OST
Maybe @Samsooki ( or anybody else) can help me with this. The song "My Heart is cursing" is sung by Kim Dong Wook...now this is HowL Kim Dong Wook and not Coffee Prince's Ha Rim Kim Dong Wook, right? I know CP HR sings also. So, I'm not 100% sure as to who is the singer...
I fell in love with HowL since Goong ( Perhaps Love). I bought his CD Almost Transparent Blue , and it's my fav ( so much so it's in my alarm clock CD player) , and I wake up every morning with his beautiful voice. I think HowL is THE drama OST ballard "go to" guy.

So sad...I know this week is the finale week, but part of me already gave up because I know I can't watch it., so I'm not that emotional ( sad nor excited) about it ending soon. I'm sure I will feel differently come Wed night and yearning for my JGS...which lead me to this....

Just saw clips of the AN JELL 's last concert...it was good, and like most of us, wished I was there. While I was watching JGS performing "Goodbye" and hearing all those young female fans screaming, why did I feel so ICOMYM??? I felt like these young girls,too, the "young girl" part of me also joined them shouting "Hwang Tae Kyung Oppa ". ***sigh***even with the formula someone mentioned earlier ( age /2 plus 7), uhhhhh...I still hear this in my head "jail bait"..."he's old enough to be your son"....*sigh** On the brighter side, thank God one of my manrem (Gong Yoo) is finishing his military service soon...so new target for me to drool about, he he :)

@ 236 belleza : my Takeshi Kaneshiro as the Chinese Johnny Depp? I like it. The face that is beautiful but not empty (a la Keanu Reeves). I also agree with Samsooki's comment about my TK's depth... even in lighter films he has presence. I haven't seen Red Cliff yet, so no comment there.

@ 257 langdon813 : "Funniest. Thing. Ever."

Damn. I wish I hadn't followed that link b/c I can't sleep after laughing so hard! And it's time I went to bed.

You know, I still laugh out loud and helplessly when I see, try to explain, or even think about the fey tai-chi/pig-chase scene... that may be my favourite scene not only of the whole series but perhaps of any series--I seriously and deeply love stuff that can make me laugh uproariously. YB has made me laugh out loud a lot. Thank goodness.

@263 simplesim
I'm glad that you like "my version" of YB ending...don't worry, you and I can have a "viewing party" on Sun together... BYOB ( I will bring my beverage of choice-Schweppes' cream soda-yum yum) ...no popcorn for me ( for some reasons I cough severely every time I eat it) we will have BBQ chips....let's start about 2pm PST...sounds good....

I was a mess again...first I "tried" to watch Smile, you. Episode 17 wasn't too bad ,even though there was no subs ,since our dear DB had the recaps. As for epi 18, I got the gist of it. @langdon, aren't those 2 (Jung In and Hyun Soo) getting cute? Way to go Kang Hyun Soo- no more beta male- stood up for your love ;)
The "messy" part was when I watched Hwang Jin Yi- I was sobbing so hard...my poor JGS- he acted so well in that drama. And this was when he was sooo young. Damn, you're great, JGS! -all this without any manliner, too :)

Even though I love YB, there is a large part of me that is really looking forward to it ending since I have a bare semblance of a life since I started watching it. This is my first mania drama not having been overly enthusiastic about Coffee Prince and purposely missing the whole BOF boat. I realize this feeling is very similar to falling in love which sounds great on paper but falling in love is totally engrossing and exhausting as muskrats may attest to if they can talk. Thank god I only fell in love once (to my husband) otherwise I might not have survived my teens.

I have a major project waiting to be shepherded and a life to catch up on but all this crazy anticipation of YB's ending is preventing me from concentrating on work or my life right now. Instead I'm on youtube watching BTS, mini concerts or listening to OST part 2. BTW I'm so addicted to the fool song that shin woo sang. This is not his version but I really like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIkq2y_5KWs&feature=related

PS thanks to everyone who wished me well. I'm feeling better. Its one of two things work related stress or YB related stress. I'd like to think its the former since the 2nd would be a bit too embarrassing.

@ Belleza
If this is what you are saying, I do agree about Ralph Fiennes not always being able to make a distinction from stage to film. I've seen him and other great theater actors make the mistake of overacting in films from their theater training. KMM, however, I can't criticize. I loved him in white tower and almost everything I've seen him in.

And to whoever asked--if you can afford it get a MAC. I have a MacBook Pro. Today's macs offers everything macs are known for such as great graphics, great processing speed for film editing and photoshopping and ease of all apple products working well together, ipods, backup, wifi but due to the intel chip you can now run any software that can't run on mac's OS e.g. Visio and MS project provided you run Parallels or an equivalent.

@ 220 Momosan

Again I'm late but I have to say Hi! to Momosan, seems to rude not to say hi! in return. Momo or 毛毛 (in cantonese) is literally 'hairy' but it also in reference to 'fuzzy, cute" (feeling). The name just got stuck during high school.

In the area where I work now, there is a huge international community - Japanese, Korean, English, American, Vietnamese, Chinese, Burmese, etc and very often I get a Japanese or Korean mistaken me as one of them. I promise myself I ll take up Japanese (first) as I feel so obliged to answer when just the other day a Japanese old lady nodded at me and wanted to start a conversation. Yes! I will do it ...

Um, rumors of a Japanese version of Coffee Prince? No thanks... I just think with all the lovey dovey moments it won't work that well. I have a strong dislike of remakes because........ I'm lazy about watching things over again. So I only watched Meteor Garden, and I only watched the Japanese version of the "Man who can't get married" (Kekkon Dekinai Otoko).

@ simplesim-moni

You asked, I delivered. ;-)

@ Islanders (and Team Park Kyu!)

Turning a family member into a raging TPK member is fun - my sister bought the Tamra OST AND forwarded me a link to the original source manhwa she scoured the web for. Yes, score one for mania dramas cut short by evil TV stations. I miss Tamra, a lot.

@ Autumn's Concerto lovers (do we have a name? Concerto-goers? Vanness ab-admirers?)

I went back and re-watched the first four episodes last night, because when I first watched I wasn't paying as much attention, cuz I thought it was just another fluffy throwaway TW drama (didn't help that I had just watched 2 episodes of Momo Love right before, which fits that bill perfectly). But takeaway after round 2 - the second male lead, Tuo-ye, the actor is going places. Mark my words, he's gonna get a lead role real soon. And if it wasn't for Vanness playing the lead - I would be in full-blown second-lead-crush-syndrome right now. As is, I merely marvel at this wonderfully written character and just wish I could insert a lovely lady for him to end up with.

If YB addicts think that Shin-woo with his manufactured date-like gestures and little caring moments for MY makes him the perfect second lead - oy vey, please, please see what Tuo-ye does for Mu-cheng, and how he is in front of her. He's a 100% open, honest, she knows he loves her, they are best friends, he takes care of her, she doesn't want to let him, but what he does for her is because he loves her, and let's all remember that when you truly love someone, you can't hope that the other person also will want to be with you because of what you do, you do it because you want to protect, help, and take care of that person. Shin-woo is a sweet dude, but he has yet to learn that honesty is the best way to face the girl you love - his continued pretense, even to this moment, that he didn't know from day 3 that MN was a girl - beyond annoying and lame to me (which is why he's not getting MN even though in many ways he's much better for her).

I melts - both guys in AC make me want sit in front of a window and just gaze outside with a doofy grin on my face and think about how awesome they are. Mu-cheng's crappier than crappy life is counter-balanced by her having Guang-xi and Tuo-ye in it.

Hey Smilers!

I'd love to know what the melody that's playing at the beginning of this clip is (during Jung-in's fantasy movie date with Hyun-soo). Can anyone tell me what it is? I can't seem to find it on the OST.

The music begins at about :28 into the clip.

Hello, I have a question for all the ANZV.TV viewers Is your viewing experience is like watch movies on 5 inches screen with low resolutions(at the point of having hard time deciphering sub-titles)? Am I doing something wrong? I'd love to know. I have hard time concentrating being distracted by images breaking up.

I think it's still Tuesday in the States? I first thought it's already Wed. there and get excited about YB ... I was wrong... Sigh.

Anyway, please let me know. Thank you.

@ celestialorigin

I haven't had that problem with AZNV.tv, sorry!

If you select the "Video" tab, there are different screen options shown in the lower left part of the screen; full screen, 1X (normal size), 2X (double size). Have you tried each of those to see if there's any improvement? I hate that you're having issues because it's such a great site. If they would just load Oishii Man, it would be close to perfect.

Good luck!

So, samsooki raved about that giant slice of revenge best served warm Temptation of Wife a few months ago. I did indeed catch a few scattered episodes on TV, all of them from the second half after the wife comes back with a new identity. Missing episodes never hurt my understanding - horrid husband and evil bitch of a second wife Must Pay For Their Crimes!

The length and low budget look of the daily drama deterred me from ever watching it in its entirety, but I totally get why the drama was addictive.

Along comes its successor Angel's Temptation, which is not only digestible in length (20 eps!), it has Bae Soo-bin. Win! So, last night I caught an episode on TV by accident (the program guide said Dream, and I was feeling a Kim Bum fix) - and there went my night (of sleep).

Holy hell in a handbasket, is this stuff unreal - and totally wickedly delicious in its sheer evil plotting silliness.

@ samsooki - I think i may have just found you another guilty pleasure (not like you have any free time, what between work, wife, newborn, recapping City Hall - but.....I think this may even be better than ToW).

Bae Soo-bin, what more can I say, hallelujah, he is THE only reason to watch, the show doesn't even get good until he shows up. But hot damn, once he does, he shows up as the guy who had full facial reconstructive surgery, then learns to cook, weight train, swim, become an amateur photographer, tennis player, and drummer, all in the span of, I don't know, 3 months. Awesome!

Anyways, I'm up to episode 10 (what can I say, it's a slow work day - sorry about your situation, samsooki), and I can't wait to be caught up because this drama is for real totally unreal. Gotta be seen to be believed. If On Air is a meta-drama, Angel's Temptation is the uber-revenge fantasy of all k-drama fantasies. Wish I could have been in the room when the writer pitched the story, they must've all been drunk.

Oh, and forgot to mention, BSB shows his abs in every episode he's in, without fail.

Angel's Temptation - it delivers what it promises to deliver, in spades. Oh, and also forgot about the need for logic and realism, neither shows up in this drama.

Added bonus on Angel's Temptation:

The indescribably awesome Lee Jong Hyuk even shows up in an multi-episode cameo that totally caught me off guard, I had to rewind to make sure it was him. Then I realized must have been between days of shooting that three-way sword fight mano-a-mano-a-mano scene with Jang Hyuk and Oh Ji-ho in Chuno, and he needed a break. Or else he thought Angel's Temptation was Green Rose 2 (man comes back with a new identity to seek REVENGE!).

No matter the reason, he popped up in Angel's Temptation to mess with my mind, and steal every scene he's in, well, because he's Lee Jong Hyuk, and he tends to do that, it happens when he enters into the frame.

@274 langdon813

Awwwhhh! Thank you for the tips, I shall try that.! I've been so jet-lagged ever since I'd landed here that my brain function is at bare minimum level. Haven't even noticed those options! Just also notice my English writing is totally going down hill as well... after 30 years and still writing like above sentences... Sigh...

@277 ockoala

So, does this mean it still worth watching? I guess?
after my next Sydney trip(leaving the day after I arrive home from Japan, Madness!), I'll be home for at least 5 days, that will be a good time to start on that one and watch Red cliff with higher res. I'm already dreaming of my time at home... Hummm.

Anyway, thanks for the useful tips as usual, my fellow ICOMYM members. Sending love and hugs.

Sorry samsooki! As I'm sure you can tell, we miss having you around. Hope things settle down for you soon!

Must be going around, I've been really busy with work the last couple of days too. I did manage to get caught up on IRIS, Autumn's Concerto, and Hi, My Sweetheart last night (the latter has me scratching my head, because I can't for the life of me quite figure out why I'm watching it, but I am). I hope to start watching Robbers tonight; I've been meaning to for a couple of days now.

My husband is in the man room tonight watching G.I. Joe. I told him to be on the lookout for the hot Korean guy, which interestingly enough didn't go over that well. I, however, thought it was hilarious. :-D

How about Bad Couple? I watched the first episode of that a couple of days ago and it seems kind of awesome...is it??

No ideas on my sound bite from earlier today (Smile, You)? I think I'm doomed never to know what that song is. What makes it even more frustrating is that I also recognize it from a commercial, too. I just can't remember what the commercial was for. :-(

@ockoala,

"Anyways, I’m up to episode 10 (what can I say, it’s a slow work day – sorry about your situation, samsooki), and I can’t wait to be caught up because this drama is for real totally unreal. Gotta be seen to be believed. If On Air is a meta-drama, Angel’s Temptation is the uber-revenge fantasy of all k-drama fantasies. Wish I could have been in the room when the writer pitched the story, they must’ve all been drunk."

Basically think of it as a melodrama turned into a Bond movie, The Ultimate Bond Movie. :D For a melodrama fiend like moie, show is magnificent, beyond magnificent.

And, yes, I think I like Angel Temptation more than I like You're Beautiful. Why? Because at the end of the day, this is the Bae Soo-bin of my wildest dreams. The eerily pretty (but manly) boy from Jumong and Painter of the Wind. The Greatest Support Oppa in the History of K-drama (I've said it -- Shin Woo, learn from THE MASTER. Unlike emo boy, this dude was never afraid of putting his heart on the line and doing the hard thing, the right thing. Even if it meant going against his own dad due to his principles. Seriously, BSB in Shining Inheritance was PERFECT. It took me a long time to come around to LSG/HHJ, but I guess I realized, well, BSB IS MINE lol!!) in Shining Inheritance.

But, girls, now we know -- NOW WE KNOW -- mere dress rehearsal to playing 2009's Sexiest Beast in K-drama. His character
--cooks
--cleans
--plays drums
--ride horses like a cowboy
--makes figurines for mom
--kendo
--photographer
--winning tennis game
--basically seduces 3 different women without actually being nice to 2 of them
--stabs himself in the hand, just to make a point
--drinks and almost dies but still drinks

And my God was he born to wear suits. I've not seen an actor own his wardrobe like this since Jo In Sung and Lee Jung Jae.

@ belleza

*Agree* *WIth* *Every* *Single* *Word* *You* *Wrote* (see above for what I am agreeing with).

I almost said in my earlier post that BSB comes back from surgery as a cross between James Bond and Bear Grylls, but minus the guns and drinking your own urine to survive (but thought better of it, but now, what the heck, saying it!).

I knew as Jun-se oppa in SI that he was perfect. But now in AT, he's God-like. How is that possible, and yet still acceptable to me? Because he's portrayed by Bae Soo-bin.

Man looks GOOD, from every angle, he's owning this drama without allowing a single ounce of camp to seep through. He's bringing the levity to what is otherwise known as *what the ^&*^&&^**! is going on?!?!?" type of show. And he can kiss.............folks, BSB makes out all over the place, and I hope to god he does moar moar moar (suck on it Eun-sung! Go make out with your birds nest of a hair-do sullen boyfriend).

Shin-woo - You Annoy Me. Jun-Se - I Adore Thee.

And even though I said I agreed with you, b, I still must quote you so these words live on and on:

"Unlike emo boy, this dude was never afraid of putting his heart on the line and doing the hard thing, the right thing. Even if it meant going against his own dad due to his principles. Seriously, BSB in Shining Inheritance was PERFECT. It took me a long time to come around to LSG/HHJ, but I guess I realized, well, BSB IS MINE lol!!) in Shining Inheritance."

There is currently a three-way battle for most enjoyable currently airing drama I am watching - YB and AC, with AT barging in late. But holy heck, why choose? All completely different in every respect, so I love them all equally.

@ ockoala and belleza - you two have convinced me to watch Angel's Temptation... i loved BSB in BL and same as belleza, took some time to like the LSG/HHJ pairing. Only wish he got a lady too!! Once AT is done airing i think i'll pick it up. It seems like one of those ones i'll need to marathon cuz waiting ep by ep may kill me.

@ ockoala - i agree with you 100000% about SW in YB.. as much as i think he's the ultimate nice guy, i can't stand that he pretty much has yet to tell MN that he loves her and has not said a damn thing about knowing who she was from the first ep and yet still thinks he can win her if he pushes and prods a lil more. Totally needs to take a page from Tuo Ye's manual of 2nd male lead. :)

@ langdon813 - i'm watching Hi, My Sweetheart too, and though it's not crazy addictive like YB and AC and does not have the hottness and big budget factor of IRIS, it's still nice fluffy fun. i'm only on ep 3, but i'm just waiting for Ugly Mushroom Head Show to turn into Hottie McTottie Show and for the love triangle games to really take off !

NCIS tonight... it's one of those nights i wish i still had my DVR because i really just need a nap and to pack for this weekend. Plus i may actually have to watch NCIS:LA as well cuz Abby's on it tonight!! I've noticed there's a lot of cross-over episodes lately. Off to do laundry...

Good Lord...forget Robbers (for now). I've got to either watch Shining Inheritance or Temptation something-or-other (Angel? Wife? Must learn to read previous posts more closely before responding to them). All I know about BSB is that he has a movie coming out with my baby Kim Bum. Obviously he and I need to get better acquainted, sooner rather than later. :-D

Sigh...

What I REALLY want to just wail about is the end of YB. I'm such a spoiler whore for this show...I want to know everything right now, I want it to be Wednesday right now, but then again I really don't want it to be Wednesday right now and I can't even think about Thursday....ARRGHH!!!. :-(

I want a Pig-Rabbit and a gaudy pin and and another 16 episodes, damn it!

@ celestialorigin (and anyone else who wants to know)

Send me an email at soompi if you can (if not I'll give you my email address) and I'll tell you. I don't want to say here because I'm afraid the IRIS police will find out and shut them down like they did viikii. And that would be a very BAD thing.

Welcome! Yippee--Mother-Daughter YB marathon! I'd love to have a YB marathon with someone, but no one I know has the stamina. I managed to force Ep 1 on some visiting friends, and I think I hooked their daughter, but they're too far away.

Wow! I seriously did not know how many folks in OT have not seen Bae Soo-bin in a drama. Get thee to the nearest Shining Inheritance feed, and meet the almightly Jun-se, I says.

Jokes aside, SI is only okay of a drama, and at 28 episodes really too long to slog through just for all the BSB scenes. But, sigh....it's all worth it, he really is the best k-drama oppa of all time. and lovenyc52, Tuo-ye is pretty much a lock for best tw-drama second male lead of all time. I can sense it, he's got that much heart.

And langdon-unni - it's Angel's Temptation, m'kay, make sure you pick the Angel one and not the wife one. Think Angel, Bae Soo-bin, cuz the boy is Angel with wings.

Got it! He's the Angel. Which reminds me, the poster for this made BSB look deformed. So I'll be glad to see him looking...not deformed. :-D

@ celestialorigin

I normally hate spoilers and avoid them like the plague, but for some reason I'm terrible about YB, although I was this way with City Hall too. Now with IRIS, it's a completely different story. I would hate to know anything in advance so I try to avoid all discussions about it.

Funny...as much as I enjoy IRIS, and I do, it's such an "in the moment" drama. While it's on, it keeps me on the edge of my seat, yelling "NO! WHAT!? OMG!" at the screen, just all up into it. But the minute it's over...I never think about it again until time to watch the next ep. Unlike I'm Sorry, I Love You, Hong Gil Dong, Friend, Return of Iljimae...those will be with me for life. Probably because they scarred me for life, LOL! But mostly in a good way.

YB and City Hall are just in a class by themselves. I've been totally obsessed by them and completely overjoyed to be so.

Have you seen Oishi Man? I've been looking forward to it since it was first announced but I can't find it anywhere. Is there a possibility of it being uploaded on aznv.tv?

@ doublethink101

I haven't seen it but I'd really like to. I suppose there's always a possibility of it showing up on aznv.tv but I haven't personally requested it (they have a whole page of rules about posting requests and I'm too lazy to read it).

I'll probably end up buying it anyway since it's LMK. :-)

@ ockoala, "Man looks GOOD, from every angle, he’s owning this drama without allowing a single ounce of camp to seep through. ... And he can kiss………….folks, BSB makes out all over the place, and I hope to god he does moar moar moar (suck on it Eun-sung! Go make out with your birds nest of a hair-do sullen boyfriend).'

Just watched ep.6 yesterday, in which middle-aged, slightly overweight man transformed into mascular sculpture that is BSB. Ep. 1-5 without BSB was crack enough for me, but from your description, I'll speed up my viewing for sure!

@belleza, hubby has watched Legend of Four Gods, too (and the Chinese drama Ghenghis Khan - awesome). Come to think of it, he watched it while we were on a holiday overseas. Since family will be taking off to Europe on a 5-week holiday over Xmas-New Year, I'll have him and pre-teen watch what I bring along! Will definitely bring YB to get 12-old who-doesn't- find-Wolf Boy's abs-interesting-yet hooked. She likes GLEE and High School Musical, so maybe YB will work!

And folks, if you dig Stephenie Meyer, try Anne Rice. The reason I can't jump onto the SM bandwagon is because I've read Anne Rice. Her vampire series is so rich and heart felt - and mature. "Cry to Heaven" is the only book that has made me cry, ever.

@ belleza : But does he still need to eat a sandwich? He needs to eat a sandwich. (I've seen photos of some sort of fashion catwalk thing and went :O)

I feel the need to attach "Like a Boss" to your list, haha He Cooks LIKE A BOSS. Makes figurines for Mom LIKE A BOSS. Stabs himself in the hand LIKE A.. wait, what?!

To JB, and to all dramabeans readers:

Happy Thanksgiving!

People say that this is the time to consider the values that we hold close to our hearts, to reflect on the things for which we are thankful, to connect (or re-connect) with our friends and family, and to reach out to the less forttunate.

For us and our household, for my family, one of our primary "things" is that we try not be arbitrary with respect to the above. In other words, every day is the time to consider our values, every day we should think about our blessings, and there is no time like the present to bring our family and friends closer, and to help those who are less fortunate. If we were to act differently, to think differently, only at specific and rather arbitrarily determined times during the year, how hypocritical would we be?

Yet holidays and this Holiday remain special, not because we will be acting or thinking differently, but because convention and logistics allow for special events to happen to highlight what should be already in our hearts. And so, with that in mind, on behalf of Mama Samsooki and baby Ji-Hoon, I'd like to wish everyone the safest of Holiday seasons, the brightest of Holiday cheer, and the warmest of gatherings.

We are all limited creatures, and some of us are more fortunate than others, and so this life can be so random and unfair. For these reasons, I would like to urge everyone to take care (but not just during this Holiday season) to behave in a way that reflects this tyranny of opportunity. Even if you believe that you have earned everything that you have, the fact that you were born with the ability to earn itself is not something that was under your control, as it is axiomatic that the amazing miracle of life cannot to be taken for granted or ever taken lightly.

So be good to each other, be more patient with each other, be more honest with yourself and with each other. Apologize sincerely if you screw up. And finally, send JB an email asking for her to officially declare that KJH is mine and not hjkomo's.

Oh and of course, and we should never forget how much we owe JB a big thank you for dramabeans. It is the coolest place on the internet, with the best peepz, the most awesome of authors, and the first and last website I visit each day.

:D

Thank you, samsooki, for your heartfelt words. Brought a warmth and happiness to my heart immediately.

Warmest wishes to everyone on this Thanksgiving weekend (in the US), and blessings for everyone everywhere.

Finally - *Now that's what I'm talking about!!!* You're Beautiful, if tomorrow's final episode is as good as today's, then I forgive your lapses for the last few episodes, you are beautifully awesome again!

2009 has been one of the best and worst years of my life. What made it one of the best was discovering the wonderful world of Kdramas, this fantastic site, and all of you guys. You will never truly know what you've done for me and I am very thankful for all of you, not just today but every single day.

Virtual hugs and hand-holding all around as we say goodbye to A.N.JELL. It won't be the same without them around. :-(

But there is a bright light in the not-so-distant horizon called Chuno...
