Trivia Question #5 – (1 point)

In the wonderfully fantastic drama series, My Girl, with the effervescent and perfectly cast Lee Da Hae as Joo Yoo Rin, the character played by Lee Dong Wook has gotten his act together and realizes he loves Joo Yoo Rin... and so he buys her a gift and takes it home. But she is not there, she has left.

What was that gift?

@ KENDER
I feel your pain with awful roomies. I had my fair share with them after college. I had some good ones and bad ones. Now I got a place and live with my sis. Luckily we get along and pay the bills on time etc. Plus it is easier for our folks to visit and more comfortable for them too.

@Samsooki
question four---i had to think for a second who Min Yub was. Make up

Have not started CHUNO not sure when though. I find when I am watching dramas ie PASTA I am inclined to do marathon sessions. But watching as it comes out each week makes me look forward to the next week. *sigh

TGIF everyone!

@Samsooki Trivia Question #5 - was it a paperweight..?
I may have the drama mixed up but I'm sure I remember a cheap and tacky-looking paperweight.

@ Kender

"I will be comfortable enough with the man I eventually marry to confront him about the super annoying habits, and forgiving enough to let the little ones slide"

Or you will do everything in your power to change his bad habits, but in a way he never even realizes that you are attempting to change him (which would inevitably lead to the big pow wow over, for example, "why are you asking me to change when you married me knowing I never put the toilet seat down"), and then before he realizes it, he's suddenly got a brand new bag of habits you like, and your marriage is much stronger. ;-)

Your roommates sound exceedingly inconsiderate, self-absorbed, insensitive and outright mean. I can assure you that college roommating can be a very fulfilling and satisfying experience, but unfortunately, you better start running from these bunch of jerks as quickly as you can.

@ samsooki - point 5, a snowglobe.

@samsooki
At first I thought hat it was a camera but was it an Mp3 right? Cause he has the "player" in his hand when he sees the shoes. He's so taken with them that he forgets about the player.

@4
It sounds like the dude from Dal-ja's Spring? The second lead was cleaning to keep himself call all the time. But I'm not sure this is the drama you are thinking of just because... How could you forget DJS? Also it could be a character from a US film but I'm definitely at a loss with that.

@18
I know! Buy the rights! I was a music producer for a small stint in my life, so I was shocked to hear the "original" song and then read the statement made by the management...Just a few chords? Look, it is true, like with GD and others this year that cords can be similar, at times downright identical but not (or at least they shouldn't be) throughout the entire song! I was highly disappointed at the way they are handling things. I'm sure the lyrics are different but beyond that entirely too much of CNB's "Alone" resembles YNot's Blue Bird to the point that its laughable. To say words like "barely similar" insults fans' intelligence! Even the vocal are similar! My drama buddy is up in arms! She's a self-professed CNB groupie so its been a tough couple days. LOL :)

For the Goong question - wasn't there also a necklace in the box with the MP3 player that Shin sees later? A quite UGLY necklace with Triste or something written on it? I only remember b/c the necklace was so UGLY (ok I'm repeating myself).

Trivia Question #5: New snow globe to replace the broken one?

Apologies if this has already been discussed. BUT - the butter coffee in Iris. Is that a thing in Asia?? My husband and I freaked out when we saw that. We're huge coffee fans, so it just seemed really gross to us, but perhaps..not?

@Samsooki: Trivia 6, his part-time job was a cook. He wanted to open a beno shop I believed. The lawyer job was his full time job that he quit. Trivia 7, why can't I remember this. I've seen the drama 3 times.

Samsoon Question - I think it was money.

@kender
Hope venting helped. It's never easy to live with other people. But it is no fun living alone either.

I been watching Chuno and Pasta. Love them both!! Thank Goodness for the macho looking Korean men in Chuno. I was getting tired of all the girly looking boys. As for the Pasta, why so much yelling?? Still, it has the feeling of Coffee Prince and My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. Two of my favorite shows.

Okay, you guys have to total up your own point totals. I can't multi-task work and play for a few hours. Sorry!

Last Question For Now:

Trivia Question #8 - (1 point) -

Kim! Rae! Won! plays a chef Sung Chan in the moving and well-done drama series, Gourmet. On his itinerant travels, he learns about what kind of wood makes the best charcoal for grilling korean BBQ. In his competition with Bong Joo towards the end of the drama, both Bong Joo and Sung Chan go after the same charcoal that could be found in only a certain place....

Where did this charcoal come from?

(su-pah of course you guys can come up with your own questions! I was just fooling around like i always do on open thread. :) )

see samsooki!!! I'm not alone! I wonder if my colleagues at the soompi thread remember the answer! hahaha! I'm thinking of quizzing them too! HAHAHA!

in my defense, he did buy her sweet potatoes... But, I just remembered she was there when he brought it home... That was the time he missed her at the 63 building... and he thought she was lying again (because she said she was there when they were talking on the phone earlier...)

Gahhhhh I suck! *Hits head on the wall*

Anyway... Can't remember answer to #7...

[s]Next question please! :)[/s]

#8:

I must say this is taking my mind away from Chuno! HAHAHA

@ Kender

man, your roommate problems sound horrendous - sorry about that.. unleash your rage here - that's what we're here for :) i have thankfully always had pretty decent roommates and right now am in a situation where i have housemates but we all do our own thing and so it's like having my own place (but never having to take out the garbage!!! my housemate thinks it's a guy's job to do that and i'm not contradicting him lols).

*edit* be glad you don't have a klepto for a roommate. my friend's college dormmate stole all her stuff and then got mad when my friend called security to check the locked closet... then denied she stole anything when they found everything...

Waves at you from the MD side of the border. 8-)

@3 notoriousnoona
Tell me if you start yelling "B@@##" at the screen every time Ja Rak shows up later in ILPK. I certainly did. 8-) Kind of fun, actually.

And uhoh. That's big trouble for CN Blue - I can't see who they credited with the writers credit, but you never know. If they didn't buy the writers credit (long story, I know a few songwriters who actually do ghostwrite for other artists), then their agency really needs to be more careful with their due diligence, eh? I seem to recall FT Island had some similar problems about a year ago.

@samsooki
MP3 player;
question 2 is harder: I can remember dropping a stitch or three when the second amnesia happened - really that was wild! Dude should be in the NEJofM - and I remember the well lit and beautifully filmed ending....but what does he put in the mailbox? Nope. Blanking on that one.

(btw, hjkomo is very correct. the reason i know all of these dramas is because every k-drama i've seen was recent. hehehe, yeah yeah not fair, etc. after you are done crying a river at how unfair samsooki is for giving trivia questions where he has the advantage, you got a few more coming)

Okay, really, quickly, last 2 trivia questions while I try to get some work done:

Trivia Question #9 - (1 point)

In that really awesome and very very fun and totally underrated drama series, Super Rookie, with Eric Mun, Oh Ji Ho and Han Ga In, the administrative assistant Han Ga In lives by herself above a dive bar. What was the name of the dive bar?

Trivia Question #10 - (1 point)

In the fusion sageuk Hong Gil Dong, the incomparable and beautiful and cute and wonderful actress Sung Yuri plays the character of Yi Nok who is simple and gets embarrassed very easily. What does my KJH, as Hong Gil Dong, give to Sung Yuri as a present, to prevent her from being embarrassed?

Happy Friday everyone, we've been getting lots of rain here in AZ. We even has a tornado watch, a very WTF moment for me.

Oh, so I finished FFML yesterday and LOVED IT. I learned so much from watching this drama, and it was just an amazing experience for me. I don't even know how many times I cried watching this story unfold.

So....I only have 34 days left before I head to Seoul. I am so excited to finally be doing this. I will apply for my E-2 visa next week, and I cannot wait to get my visa so I can buy my plane ticket.

Life is good, enjoy your weekend everyone!!
