I want to give Cha Seung Won a razor (plus my heart *cough*), but damn, he still looks good. ♥♥♥ Congrats BB.

@ belleza - if i can have So Ji Sup for $999.99, can't he perform EVERYTHING for that price? i mean "So Ji Sup making a Heart gesture on demand: $19999.99" - it's a bit much at this point.. although, if i had that kind of money - maybe. lol

@ hpn88

umm.. i have already claimed 2PM and am timesharing w/ my twin. you CANNOT have Ang Ang.. tho i am willing to share 10% my 50% w/ you. this is NOT open to bargaining.

additionally, i have laid claims on LBH too. so you're just too late!!!!

@ twin..

i can't give up anymore of JunK.. i just can't!!! it's not feasible. sorry. i've already forgone my additional claim on TOP.. doesn't that count?

OK, I only read about the first dozen posts but clearly the staking and claiming is happening FAST this week. SO.... Takeshi Kaneshiro MINE, Jang Geun Suk MINE. Just back away calmly, OTers, and no one will get hurt.

These are my F4 and please no one claim them. Thank you

- Jang Guen Suk
- Oguri Shun
- Kim Hyun Joong
- Lee Min Ho

And I forgot to say... Oh Man Soek, MINE.

Calmly now people, no sudden moves, we don't want anyone to get hurt. Just back away, nice and easy.

Hmmm... I was just wondering... Dramabeans, are you not recapping God of Study anymore?

@ 35 samsooki - Jan 15, 2010 at 9:05 am

"red wine = not as good as white wine;
cakebread sauvignon blanc = best tasting white wine ever.."

I'm starting to worry about you. Has the smoking (rumour I heard on OT 117) killed your tastebuds? Red wine = not as good as white wine??? That's crazytalk.

@ 36 ockoala:
"I like my steaks with a nice bottle of Malbec as well. Though I’ve been known to eat two main courses and go with a French Burgundy."

Wah! Just my kind of dinner partner!!!

@ twin

it's ok i understand about junK... i am the same with Tabi. i'm actually ok with either 5% or 10% of junK as long as i can still have viewing/listening opportunities without any additional claim. so we're settled? :)

Thank you, belleza for your infinite entertainment.

Whoa whoa, the JGS wardrobe is only $0.99? LOL. Why is it priced so low? I mean, JGS dresses like a hipster girl (none offense intended, especially since I love him). That wardrobe price is like a good vintage find. I call it.

@kdxmel
The best part of that dance is the hip movement. Although it's really taxing on the thighs - I have sore thighs whenever I practice the dance and I seriously feel it every single time I do that move. LOL. I haven't been able to find a good tutorial on Replay, so I haven't learned that dance, but that is one of my favorites, haha.

I'm willing to timeshare Taemin with you. 50 - 50? LOL. As long as I have Jonghyun all to myself, LOLOL.

@lb_tmi
We can timeshare Jonghyun's voice. LOL. But yes, his voice is absolutely stunning. It's amazing how he hits some of those high notes - I die every single time I hear those high notes. His voice makes me melt into a puddle.

@lovenyc52
Dang... I am willing to timeshare Taeyang then.

What is this... I've suddenly become so generous in sharing people with others. LOL.

What's this? We have crossed into Jdrama territory? I stake claims on Kaname Jun, Fujiki Naohito, Fukuyama Masaharu, Mizushima Hiro (too bad he's married, but I like his wife, so it's all good, LOL), Tsumabuki Satoshi, Miura Haruma, Kame, and who can forget our dearest Chiaki sempai, Tamaki Hiroshi. I won't fight for Oguri Shun - too much competition.

What is this, lovenyc52, we keep fighting for the same people! I can't let off Tamaki Hiroshi or Tsumabuki Satoshi easily. Absolutely not.

I knew going in that WISFC was going to be a bumpy ride but after watching Ep 11 not sure if I can take much more! (But I will ). Good comeback drama for Go Soo, he gets to show off his assets and talent!
All this claiming going on made me laugh, life without a little fantasy would be soooo boring.
@momosan
I'm thinking we are ladies of a similar age and I find it interesting that its Kim Rae Won that piques our interest! Tell me its ok to have an ICOMYM!!!!!
As for all you younger gals and guys, didn't someone mention TimeSharing? Now that's a great idea, keeps everyone happy!
@bleu
Making good coffee has been a life long struggle for me. There are so many variables! The main one being, everyone has a different idea of great coffee. I finally found the way to make coffee to suit my taste but the fun part was in the journey to find it! I bought one of those stove top Italian coffee makers for less than $10 and that was that. Great coffee every time.
I think it should be 1 level scoop of loosely packed coffee to 1 cup of water. Good luck!

@ 70 Samsooki -

"All I have to say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4BNbHBcnDI"

That is HILARIOUS!

@ belleza : Very astute marketing.

$0.99 for the JGS wardrobe?

If I pay YOU $0.99 can you get rid of JGS's Goth-meets-Tinkerbelle wardrobe and deliver him in jeans and t-shirt please?

@ belleza : do you have a price yet on JGS doing NPW? I'd pay for that... if he's not dressed as Trailer Park-meets-Glinda.

Hmm...I might actually consider sharing. It's more fun to swoon over these guys with DB peeps anyway. I share...Shin Dong Wook! How's that? I only claim his character in 'Soulmate', including his hairband.

As for Gong Yoo, sorry, but I can't...just can't. He's mine and I'm his. :P

@79 Taohua

Be very careful in choosing your hotel. Do an extensive research. My friend booked us through hotels.com, and when we got there the "hotel" didn't look like the pictures posted online. It was in a seedy neighborhood; suspicious-looking couples came in and out (if you know what I mean); and our room had about 20 chairs stacked on top of each other, it looked like a warehouse with 2 beds. We ended up staying somewhere else.

@ A.

timeshare taeyang? i gotta think about it.. i just solidified my 95% claim on Tabi with 5% going to my twin... and i gave up on oguri... and now you wanna take tsumabuki and tamaki away?? no way. nope. no can do. but i gotta give you this: you have good taste :) mizushima hiro and miura haruma are cuties too...

@ reluctantbutaddicted

if you pay me $0.99, i'll rip up all of JGS's wardrobe and deliver him completely nekkid. :D

@ twin..

i think we've come to an agreement. :)

@ A.

ikr? i LOVE his voice.. i'm quite a new fan of JH, but since i've found him.. he's been my newest obsession.. and i adore him more and more.. he definitely has raw talent... but ultimately, i just wanna timeshare his voice..

I know it seems like I started this MINE-claiming free-for-all, but I didn't really. There was a certain Go Soo thread that got out of control, so I was just protecting my I LUB YOU. Him, I cannot share.

Anyway, anyway...

Before we begin comporting ourselves with the greater decorum samsooki so rightly called for, can we please take a moment to discuss Han Jung-soo (and if no one has claimed him, then by God, I certainly will) in Episode 1 of Chuno? Or, like me, does the power of speech oddly disappear from your throat at the mere thought of Han Jung-Soo in Episode 1 of Chuno?

hanjanman....where are you? Any comments? Thoughts? :-D

@ thundie

You someone off your list - Lee Jong Hyuk Lee Jong-HOT ;)

And on the topic of VOICES,
one must not leave out Park Jung Chul (deep and sultry...melts butt-ah)

...and Han Jung Soo HOT-Jung Soo...but he cannot be contained to claims merely for his voice, of course ;)

@ Samsooki
*AHEM*

We must comport ourselves with greater decorum! This pouring forth of mass avarice, with claims of mine mine mine!

so sayeth the FOUNDER of the blackmarket Dramabeans Meat Market free-for-all... :P

@ 120 lb_tmi

"if you pay me $0.99, i’ll rip up all of JGS’s wardrobe and deliver him completely nekkid. :D "

DEAL and I'm even willing to move the decimal point a little to the east for that particular arrangement, too (this month I'm clearly going to have to pay double my dues in the ICOMYM club). But, it's winter here, and I don't want him to get pneumonia, so some clothing might be a good idea. No dead stuffed animals crawling around his neck, though, ok?

Any Seattleites catch Hyun Bin filming yet? I'd love to see photos. :P

@A.,

You can keep Jonghyun all to yourself, no worries there! I'm all about Taemin :) , That boy is so darn cute, I want to pinch his cheeks everytime I see him smile, which is ALL the time. So DEAL on the 50/50! Jonghyun does have a great voice though. Him and LSG, with those voices smooth as silk. How can anyone not melt listening? I sure do.

RE: Replay. I'm sure you've seen all those youtube tutorials? I still say, kudos on learning RDD. I don't even dare to attempt. If one day you ever decided to conduct a class, I'd gladly pay to attend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOd5jLwvD10

And just because TM is so cute in here, I have to share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsgiZsSMqgM&feature=related
(Well that, and the fact that this video is in some ways more amazing to look at than the official dance MV.)

@lovenyc52 & A.

Can I chime in on timesharing Tamaki Hiroshi. Just because he is the one and only Chiaki sempai.

@ 124 reluctantbutaddicted

i got some good wardrobe ideas ala FashionTerrorisTaec aka Wild Bunny DEG wardrobe coordinator mode.. JGS's guyliner will definitely look good w/ what i got in store for him.

i wanna stake a claim on Yoon Eun Hye. she's one fine looking woman. and Son Ye Jin. i want her too. and just for good measure, from my Thai dramas, i want Anne Thongprasom, Aom Piyada, and Aff Taksaorn.. three of the most beautiful women i've ever seen.

@72 I don't know about everyone else but I turn 30 in a week! I'm so excited! I don't think I've been this excited since I turned 6 and was able to go to school!

@Timeshares...
I think we need to come to a consensus that the merchandise is delivered in good condition.

@belleza
Who is coming up with these prices? I'm not sure that the quoted prices are consistent with the listed prices? To whom am i dishing out all this money to? What forms of payment are required? In an exchange like this I might only be willing to trade using CODs. I know its a little archaic but this is sensitive merchandise. Though I'm not the type to be misleading... there are too many MINE's to not be just a little wary.

@118 Snikki
MMM. You can have the headband if I get the personality... Actually I even like him in WUAS. He seems a little tortured but sweet... just how I like 'em :)

And someone wanna share M. Jun? I can definitely do that. What about Kim Ji Hoon?

@105 lb_tmi I must say you are generous. I must now establish that I have
10% of Ang Ang preferably in there current "tired of waiting" leather jackets or
In the brownie commercial outfits.

Also of the claiming topic, I want to thank all the people who encouraged me to
start Sandglass. I just finished up to ep 4 but I am already completely sucked in.
I'm a bit confused about all the history so wikipedia has been a good friend.
But as far drama goes I'm already getting chills for what could happen next.
And may I add, what is Lee Jung Jae eating/doing. He has not aged, infact I think
he has just gotten better looking.
And since we are claiming, Choi Min Soo (the Park Tae Soo character, I think that is
his name) circa 2001...claimed

@kdxmel

Aww, Taemin is so cute in that video (he and I actually share the same birthday date, as with Chace Crawford but that's a tangent, but I'm older than him). But I think his stylists seriously need to scrap any variation of bowl cuts on him. They just don't flatter him at all, in my opinion. I liked his hair the best during the Amigo days, where like it was rather gelled.

Sigh... I am just waiting for Perfect Girl Evolution to come out with Chinese subtitles...

@126 kdxmel
OMG just watched the vid! I love Onew! Every time I hear that song I definitely think they're singing to me! I have pinned this the Year of the Oppa but crap I love that kid! Its time to reread my ICOMYM anonymous pamphlet.

@A.
The hip thing is the only part I can ever seem to get down. I may need to watch some tutorials... got some links?

@notoriousnoona

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29FLhuWa5n0

That's what I used to learn, because I really like how you have the mirror but you can also see what she's doing. I still need to work on my Ring Ding Dong dance... there are parts I really can't get down / I fudge or make up when the part comes, LOL. It's a nice workout each day, actually.

@ notoriousnoona

good point....and I'm assuming these prices do not include shipping costs (foreign S&H from Korea is notorious for its outrageous costs) or service charges for such fees to title companies & title insurance (gotta make sure you're buying from the current legal owner)....ahhh, scratch that last part...I forgot this was black market transacting...but definitely watch out on the S&H.

And since Samsooki was the original instigator in all this, watch out for his pals, the gangsters a la Friend, Our Legend who will be close at hand to enforce smooth market operations. ;)

@ 127 lb_tmi -

"i got some good wardrobe ideas ala FashionTerrorisTaec aka Wild Bunny DEG wardrobe coordinator mode.. JGS’s guyliner will definitely look good w/ what i got in store for him. "

I find this a bit worrying, esp the Wild Bunny part, but I guess I should trust you....

___

I followed the link for the ShinEE dance thing, but I've never seen the original so in looking for that I found this, Teletubbies do Ring Ding Dong :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmx3bDgVEWI

and OMG it's hysterical. I'm still giggling.

@ 129 hpn88

i was thinking about starting sandglass.. sounds like you're enjoying it.. so should i give it a go?

i really shouldn't keep the ssanti that is Ang Ang all to myself... so i'm ok w/ sharing him.. he's just so goofily adorkable.

@ 131 notoriousnoona

Year of the Oppa???
no, no, it's Year of the Noona!! i'm definitely on the prowl. Proud Puma rite here!!!

@cheap NYC places
I'll have more to post on things to do in NYC but I thought I would reply to question of affordable places. If you want to stay in NYC for cheap try couch surfing http://www.couchsurfing.org/ , staying in hotels in the outskirts of Manhattan or VBRO. I use VBRO in other major cities including Europe and its more affordable for long stays, better for groups of people than hotels and plus you can cook in the apartment. The outskirts of Manhattan can be cheaper like downtown Jersey City (in NJ). long Island City and parts of Brooklyn. They will all be accessible via subways so it won't take a long time to go into the Manhattan or even grab a cab.

@Mine list
Now for the fun part, here is my top five "mine" list which changed slightly from two years ago when we last did this

1. So Ji Sub--sexiest man alive
2. Im Soo Jung--my muse
3. Um Tae Woong--sexy intense ajusshii
4. Yoo Jae Suk --funny cute skinny grasshopper
5. Jang Woo Hyuk--have you seen him dance? He is so hot and cool and part of legendary H.O.T

Jang Guen Suk...maybe in a few more years can push someone out of the 5 top list (he needs to age a bit more like good wine and steak but that smile slays me)

@Belleza
Jo In Sung's fist in mouth has become iconic symbol for bad acting and highly parody-able.

@ nycgrl

"Jo In Sung’s fist in mouth has become iconic symbol for bad acting and highly parody-able."

Touche, but I dunno, that was a seminal moment in my k-drama viewing experience, and probably propelled WHIB into a higher stratosphere in my faves. A perfect confluence of "really method acting" + "an explosion of noona desire/worship + "the discovery of thine own noona-come-pet me appeal."

JIS in WHIB - sigh, that requires a whole nother 10 pages to dissect. Add that to HJW's priceless noona appeal, it so dirty and wrong and OMG-no-they-didn't.

WHIB is the one night stand of Kdramas; so naughty, so wrong, but oh-so-good, too. You're not sure you'll ever want to go there again, but...you won't ever forget it, either. ;-)

@hjkomo

"White burgundy! My favorite is Meursault – the most well-balanced, imo"

Thanks for the rec. I'll try it. From CA I love anything from Behrens and Hitchcock and Chappellet's Cabs are not bad.

I love the Pinots from Oregon like archery summit and ponzi. I spent a week's worth of salary once in their vineyards.

And I find spanish wines pretty good for the price point and they are doing some interesting things with their riojas but if your into the old classic style you may not like it..

@reluctantbutaddicted

HOLY COW that teletubbies thing had my tears streaming out. And here in the office too. OMG Thanks for that link, I'm gonna share it till the cows come home. Or the teletubbies in this case. OMG Hahaha thank you!!!

OK back to serious business: the dance version MV of Replay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvD7tD61cPQ&feature=related

@131 notoriousnoona
There's an ICOMYM anonymous pamphlet? Where? I think I need to read it too :P

@A.

I don't quite mind TM's bowl cut actually. In fact him dancing in above Replay MV 03:20 with his bowl cut hair flopping is what made me first notice his cuteness. Oh, and 02:16 is to die for. That boy can dance. But I still like his recent bowlcut hair better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JjsxL59Ax4
Cute but more mature looking.

And just because I can't get enough of TM. He looks so cute here :p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp2Cbgdf3WI

@ NYC on a budget:

hotel: priceline definitely... try $75 midtown ( if u don't mind @ Times Sq). even on a bad day $90 should do it ... and I've heard u'll always get the Hilton there. Very good deal.

staten island ferry is FREE... just take round trip and u can have a decent look at the city and Statue of Liberty

if u r a Seinfeld fan, u can really pay homage at the Soup Nazi they based an ep on, it's near central park, so a lite lunch b4 MET? I had a lobster bisque there once, it's good and in the baggie there's even a piece of chocolate amongst the bread. :)

Also, NYC in 36 hr: http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/travel/12hours.html

claim @ binnieboy... instead of $ we have to show Heart now... get his current pama do and can MINE him as long as can stand it. i'm going to my hairdresser tmr anyways

@ ockoala twin: *sparkly eye* share loverboy, pls? o that temple scene was beyond priceless! HAHAHA we're literally mwahahahaha-ing for a while and had to pause and rewind... there were many OuYeung Fung lines that r st out of a StephenChow's... I like it, actually. it does fit this production.
I was expecting a lot fr the GJ vs YK .... but the lines could be better if they wanted to fault GJ on YK's doom imo, lets spazz more after u've seen it.

lol the DB community is so much fun to read ♥

Since most of the hot guys are claimed....I will switch gears and claim Lee Da Hae.

@132 A. Thanks for the link. This is def. going to be my workout for the week.
@136 lb_tmi
LOL! That was last year for me, from which I acquired quite a slew of dongsengs: Mithra, G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang, 5 non-criminal members of SJ, Onew, Lee Min Ho,Lee Wan, Kim Bum, JGS, KJH, KHJ, Hwanhee, Oguri Shun, JJH and the list goes on... I feel now that I'm 30, I want to give oppas a whirl... We will see if I can reap as many benefits. If not, naturally Notorious will make a notable return!
For my Y.O.O. I'm thinking one Oppa per month... Go Soo is January. I have some close contenders for Feb. The Voice, JiSung, BH and LJJ. I'm still undecided at the moment.

And is it just me but I can't pick a "sexiest man alive" I mean jeez how on earth do you do that?

I don't understand how so many people are claiming Gong Yoo when I've made it clear, time and time again, that we're SOULMATES. Now, kindly back away from my man and nobody gets hurt...

In a show of kindness, I will offer to share my boyfriend, Rain, on a first come, first served basis.

jabbing @ JIS in WHIB's fist/cushion in mouth wailing is like kicking at a sick stray whining kitten...literally, coz he's dressing the kitty part in tiger print furs ;)

@ 144 notoriousnoona

don't worry, once you're about to turn 31 (like me in 2 weeks), you wanna go back to the dongsaengs.. cuz last year i was about the oppas.. but then this year, it's all about being a PUMA noona. lol

C.N.BLUE are now the official ICOMYM mascots.

*memo from the President*

@ mookie

"*sparkly eye* share loverboy, pls?

Oh, how could I not co-own him with you, of course! I wouldn't have discovered him BUT for you, and you discovered him first (plus all his million and one hilarious tweets - the three-legged cat kungfu line that became the NG line of the three-legged kungfu cat which when the director yelled wrong, the director even further mangled into the three-legged kung catfu was ROTFLMHO - I still laugh and tears come out out my eyes when I'm driving and that ridiculous NG springs to mind).

Yeah, OYF was definitely channeling Stephen Chow off-the-cuff-nonsequitor "moy len tau" style - totally random yet strangely appropriate - this version of OYF is what I would call mildly autistic, maybe has aspergers? The roasted-chicken-over-the-fire exchange on the deserted island between our bedeviled Ouyang father and son combo was so sweet and Li Jie killed it with his wry smile, but damn if daddy didn't make me love his adorable lack of any social skills.

But that 10 second exchange in the Temple between HR/OYF/YK had me in stitches mwahahaha-ing so hard, too - I rewinded like 5 times just to get the full effect, and to notice the subtle facial changes in Ariel and Justin's face, they couldn't even look at each other for fear they would either bust out laughing (out of character) or start making out (in character) - or is it vice-versa.

I saw a preview of that final fight btw YK/GJ - and don't know the entire dialogue - but one line and Justin's delivery and the look he had of just hopelessness and resignation, has me just speechless - when YK tells GJ "No matter what happens today, who wins or loses, I know I am not walking out of here alive. Please, for once, can't you just allow me to let it happen."

Sigh, just performance love, right, twin?

Btw - can you explain moy len tau to me fully - it was a huge part of my youth, Escape from School and God of Gamblers and even the renaissance of SC with Shaolin Soccer and KungFu Hustle. But I still don't quite theoretically understand it. It's like I'll know it when I see it.

@ langdon-unni

Now I know what you think about one-night stands. Naughty unni. ;-)

I've been watching Wish upon the star and loving it.
i've seen the 1st eps of Chuno and feel there is something missing too,too polish?
i plan to go to Korea early April on my way back from Viet nam for a week. i joint Hospitality club and email people who lives there for a play to stay. any one here done this before?any suggestion?thank in advance
