@ mookie

so.. the question is.. how do you like it? any changes in natural tear production? night vision? did you have astigmatism that was corrected? any irritations? i've heard some scary things--second hand, from ppl who have not actually had it done but know someone who knows someone who had a bad experience.. but from those that have actually had it done, the positives outweigh the negatives by miles... so i'm still super excited!!!

Actually the best part of the day when I come here to find the new recaps and to read all the insightful comments. Thanks to Javabeans for making it possible. It's amazing how kdrama addicted people all around the world can come together here and share their common interest and thoughts, and even their minds, like Amg1. Please, don't be bothered by such a comments as @32. Maybe he just wake up with his left foot.

@32: Absolutely uncalled for. As someone who has run large-scale fandom projects online for fun, there is nothing more annoying than someone complaining about the hard work you put into it because it doesn't run on their schedule or cater to their every whim. Neither javabeans nor any of the guest recappers owe you anything.

@javabeans: I hope you know how much everyone appreciates what you do here! I wouldn't be able to get through a week of watching all the great Kdramas that are airing right now without this site to share in my excitement.

PT ep. 10: I nearly died. I can't believe how much I'm loving this drama.

i cant watch PT ep 10
somebody tell me what happened????
i beg you :( :( :(
plzzzzzzzzzzz T_T T_T

Thanks JavaBeans for all you do and all the varied recaps! I too, have found myself drawn to new dramas that I wouldn't even have considered watching after reading recaps (and vice versa, haha ).
And I also visit this site way more than facebook!

@ 34 javabeans - I can identify with the sick and cranky bit.It sucks to be sick on a weekend.Get well soon.And there is nothing better than watching K-dramas while recovering.Well for me reading stuff at Dramabeans also helps hehe.:-) Your recaps are keep improving and your site is never static or stagnant.Your site is up there with chocolate and dramas on my list of favourite things:-) Take care.

@Personal Taste 10 - I am grinning so much that it hurts.:-) Now I am dying of curiosity to know what could possibly happen next.:-D Reminds me of the days when I used to wait for new episodes of "Your Beautiful" to air.:-)

come on people
i want to know
help guys :(

@ b.m

I was going to answer your query but your attitude kinda stinks. Was there a need to post such a rude followup comment not 7 minutes later?

You can find PT recaps at soompi, please go there. Patience, politeness and a sparkling attitude does wonders in getting things you desire from people more than happy to assist you at DB.

@ 32

Please go off to the himalayas or wherever else that last fed-up dude (Agent Darwin?) took off to. And don't let the rotating banners hit your entitled ass on your way out.

JB - Fighting! What langdon said, yeah, my sentiments exactly towards you and everything you do. Sorry I don't say it as often as I should, I think I take you for granted the same way I do my hubby. :-P I may love you just as much, but don't tell him.

@ JB : Sorry to hear you are sick. I'm cranky all the time, regardless of state of health, so I have no problem with that. But make sure you're getting some rest so you can fight whatever you've got.

I was quite pleased to see that the ludicrously offensive #32 intended to quit dramabeans and devote her/himself to soompi. On yer bike, pal. As lb_tmi cautioned, watch your butt--that door's on a wicked spring! I feel a little bad for our soompi peers, though, who now have to endure this ungrateful schmuck...

@ serendipity : re Eye of Jade. I like it so far. I think it's written by a Chinese writer located in the US (born in China, left as an adult if I recall the blurb correctly, maybe after Tiananmen?). I'm about half way through, so I don't know yet what I think of the plotting, but the writing is good. I find mysteries very relaxing to read, so I tend to read those (but must be set outside of North America, somehow I never enjoy the North Am ones so much) during the months that work is intense, and more 'serious' novels over the summer, when I can concentrate more. When I'm tense about work, I tend to read too fast and I hate to power through a book that should be savoured.

@ lb_tmi : Thanks for representing me on the lasik front! I too have heard mainly very positive things from those who've had it... and I'll await your results with interest. One day, maybe, I'll dredge up the resolve to go through with it.

@ Serendipity
Thank you! For a split sec, was wondering what 'news sight' meant... but figured it's not worth it ;)

CU/CS *spoilers*
MGY cant be praised enough. She's just magnificent! I cried even just as her tears started swelling up in her eyes, or just a quiver of her lips. It's unbelievable.

I'm actually very hopeful for EJ after 10, things can only go up now. At least she has more 'control' in the love front. She got confirmation KH is still in love w/ her w/ the letter convo, she's stepping out of it on her own terms for HS' sake, to her family >>>> her personal romance. KH maybe more comfy/ able to emote w/ HS, and EJ w/ JW, but these 2 r not into anything easy/comfy/ settling (yes to be EJ+JW, KH+HS = settling) I actually think JW/HS will make a perfect match.

I'm reading The Joy of Living by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. I need more happy, and it's intriguing me w/ the whole Buddism x science.

@JB

I think i'm just echoing everyone else's sentiments here when I say no words can describe how grateful we are for your site. Not only do we get timely and well-written kdrama news, we get awesome collaborative efforts on a variety of drama recaps (which I prefer anyway since everyone's watching different shows and enjoy different recaps) and last but not least this world of OT where we're able to come and talk about anything and everything. Pay no attention to the likes of @32 - they obviously can't recognize a good thing when they see it.

ps - i hope you feel better soon!! being sick (esp on a friday!) sucks :o(

@ djes

i feel ya on the myopia - i have that too and the retinal specialist i went to suggests that i don't do lasik because i'm way too high risk. Plus because my vision is sooo bad (legally blind!!) they would only be able to shave off so much of the blurriness and i would still need contacts anyway... kind of defeats the point =/ i'd rather deal with contacts forever than not have my vision ha.

@ lb_tmi

let me answer your questions 1 by 1, hope it helps:

'how do you like it? any changes in natural tear production? night vision? did you have astigmatism that was corrected? any irritations? i’ve heard some scary things–second hand, from ppl who have not actually had it done but know someone who knows someone who had a bad experience.. but from those that have actually had it done, the positives outweigh the negatives by miles… so i’m still super excited!!!'

I love it, but I did a lot of research on it and picked a very good surgeon (I think). You must've looked into the track record of your surgeon and how many procedures he/she has done. I evaluated fr there.

Right after the surgery, there are just too many eye drops to apply, it was quite inconvenient...I had to use an eye gel Rx at night for the first month...but it's all transient. Now I dont need eye drops at all.

I do have serious astigmatism as well and therefore I need to opt for a slightly more complex procedure to correct that, I was warned the success rate of correct the astigmatism entirely is much lower, and I do have some residual, but very minor. I can still drive at night no prob, but I did get a RX in case I want to get glasses for night driving.

@Ockoala

I can't believe you remembered Agent Darwin. haha. I try to exercise those demons/memories from my head.

On a more uplifting note,

CU and PT has gotten better. I'm only up to CU 9 but the plot and character development has me hoping again.

PT ep 9 has been my favorite so far (didn't see ep 10 yet). LMH's eye acting is very good though he looked so tried and man Ryu Seung Ryong's acting in this episode was killing me. I was all blushing and smiling. Is it so wrong for me to want him to get the boy and not SYJ? I think he is my favorite character in the show.

*Spoiler on CU 9*

BTW the death was so necessary to get the plot moving and to let out some plot steam. It was necessary as Bora's death or a pin prick on your nail bed to release the stagnate blood. For your sacrifice I thank you so I can keep watching CU though lovely man though you are Daesung.

it's a friday night but assignments have to be done :|

@javabeans i always enjoy reading your comments following a drama recap because it gives me a deeper insight and/or a different perspective to the characters in a drama series. you have a gift for critique and i hope you go a long way with that.

-back to the books-

my pc crashed, couldn't watch personal taste :(

at least i managed to get my blog posting on Chuno and IRIS up before the crash...

@ nycgrl

PT10 is even better than 9, and yes, Director Choi (and Sang-jun) are almost tied as my favorite peeps in the drama. Honestly, I'm the total opposite of Kae-in, I'm really a Jin-ho in real life, and normally KI types annoy the heck out of me. But SYJ is just marvelous at bringing out all the subtleties of KI's personality, she's become almost three dimensional to me, and I can't be annoyed at someone who's just so darn kind and has a heart wide-enough to drive a two by four through. Btw, Director Choi is at the heart of his attraction to JH, also looking for connection and friendship, and if we eschew a happy ending for all trope that requires everyone to pair up, I'm looking forward to him developing a lifelong friendship with both KI and JH.

As for my Mawang watch (@ serendipity, this goes for you, too) - I want to talk about only the PD for now. I've just finished ep. 3. I don't think I've seen any kdrama directed with such flair (CitC doesn't count in what I just said, it's intricate camerawork still had requisite moments of straight saguek-required static and grounded, but still innovative, shots).

Mawang is, for me, less about the story and more about the tableau. What am I seeing? He likes to shot through openings in objects, reflections, cross-cuts, partially obscured profiles. His camera is almost always moving, except I noticed when Shin Mina is in the picture, then there is a pervasive calm that drifts downward and grounds the anxiety. So far, the story/plot of Mawang the LEAST interesting part of the drama (for now, I know its gonna change, though I still find it likely WHAT happened is less important that WHO did what, and everything hinges on cause and effect). I'm transfixed by the scenes. Its almost like staring at a rorschach test, do we care what we see, not necessarily, but I love the process of looking at it and wondering about all the unseen possibilities.

I love it so far! Btw, UTW as a cop has got to be the single biggest typecast for any male actor. Its a credit to him that he's acting ability allows him NOT to be typecast as the perfect cop guy and play lots of other actors equally as well (and no, I don't mean Yushin in QSD, Yushin was a sageuk cop for the record).

@nycgrl

I hope this is not spoilerish, it's intended to be a friendly warning, but I cried thro WHOLE CU10. The ending is as good as ep4 ending. I cried more than SW I swear.

@ mookie, twin, reluctantbutaddicted

i did research, and listened to my eye drs referrals and suggestions. and the dr i found is a leader in the field. he's even developed 10 of the instruments that are used by all the lasik drs.. so he's got to be good, right? i'm impressed by him. and i'm having the all laser procedure.. instead of the traditional lasik where the blade cuts the flap.. i'm going bladeless!!! i will be having the astigmatism fixed w/ the cornea reshaping at the same time as the lasik, so i will finally be rid of my astigmatism (which is very very bad in my eyes). this should *crosses fingers* help w/ my night vision, so i'm doubly excited!!! i will definitely let you all know how it goes. tho i will not be doing so until at LEAST Monday following the procedure. cuz i'm not looking at a monitor until then! i'll be able to wear my new sunglasses coming home from my lasik on Friday. so awesome!!!

:::WARNING WARNING WARNING:::
:::::::::CU spoilers:::::::

it was necessary for DS to die for the continuation of the story.. but it was still heartbreaking to watch. i felt that KS's tears were sincere. tho EJ would not like to admit it, but she is like KS, that they hold themselves very stiff and try not to show their true feelings, however, i believe that KS was showing her feeling for DS in the hospital. the horror in KH's eyes as DS fell and then again at the hospital.. how does he do that?? what a talented actor C!J!M! is!!! and EJ struggling in the stairwell as she's trying to cry out "appa" is so heartbreaking! i totally feel her pain on a personal level, as i've never had a father to call.. and it is very hard to call a name that you've never called before.. *tears*

I mentioned this before, but Ang Lee has officially started pre-production on Yann Martel's The Life of Pi (screenwriter did Finding Neverland). [btw, I keep typing PIE for Pi, and I blame mookie, dahee, ripgal, hjkomo and all you nomnomnoms for distracting me with so much PIE for the last few weeks]

He's in Taiwan doing scene scouting (hhhmm, shouldn't he be in India?). It's going to be in 3D, which just means I'm going to get my heart ripped out and cry like a baby banshee even more.

I love The Life of Pi inversely proportional to how much I loathe The Kite Runner. Cannot wait. Ang Lee is best when its just him and silence, which is half of The Life of Pi. Itching to rewatch Eat Drink Man Woman. And still cannot bring myself to watch Lust, Caution.

@75 ockoala -I'm curious to know why you loathe 'The Kite Runner'.:-)Though I found the subject matter of the book a bit too depressing,I liked the simple way Khaled Hosseini wrote such a powerful story. It was one of the few books that made me cry.Same with 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'.Heartbreaking story but one that had to be told.

The Life of Pi was an amazing book.It would be interesting to see it made into a movie.The last chapter was E.P.I.C .

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Just wanna say:

1. Hope your mood (and health) lifts soon, Javabeans.

2. I love Dramabeans. Its raison d'être legitimises my k-drama obsession, and its recaps bring me joy with their depth of thought, heart and ability not to take themselves too seriously.

3. I've been following PT on Viikii, so I've caught the end of ep. 10 too. Woah, nelly! Made the angsty bits in eps. 9–10 *totally* worth it! Yeaaaaah!

JB, I just have to tell you how much I appreciate and treasure this site. I don't even know if I can live!? without coming to this site as often as I do or whenever I can. It helped me out tremendously while I was going through one of the worst time of my life by providing a place to come and hang out with some fabulously nutty, caring and generous fellow drama lovers. Above all, I don't know how I could live without your fabulous recaps? It's even not a option!!! It's an addiction like coffee! Actually I was able to quite coffee 6 years ago but not this site, as long as it exists.

So, we all make our own choices, if someone doesn't care for this place, you can also simply choose not to be here without making some insidiously rude remakes, after it's a blog site run by one person with love and passion. Show some respects!

@lb_tmi Good luck in your LASIK! :) I cant say how much it felt like a divine miracle the first day after surgery and waking up, able to appreciate the paint strokes on my ceiling for good 5 min in glee (as boring as it sounds) (for the subsequent days though, i was in horror waking up, I thought I left my contacts in!)

I'm totally w/ u on CU9. It's back to rocking me so viscerally. EJ is an animal of nature and nurture. She's born w/ this sensitive big gooey heart, but she has a complex warped loathing filial relationship w/ her Mom invincible to Mom's stretching her tolerance, and subconsciously she does pattern after Mom's model in expressing 'love'. She's very knowing of herself, as damaged as she is, she cant deny the fact her mom's harsh, tough love shaped her to be this steely strong existence. Her treatment on HS exactly reflects that and it's not without inner conflicts and turmoil.. it's so delicately layered in 9,10. and FINALLY in 9.10 C!J!M! can be put to full use his amazing talent. It's understandable to think EJ is beyond cold and harsh to HS in 10, but she cant be loyal to Mom yet warm up to HS at the same time. Her pragmatism kicks in and the EJ way is always to toughen and prepare the still naive HS as much as she can even if she has to be the devil incarnate.

OMG I must've missed your previous mention @twin on Ang Lee filming The Life of Pi (SQUEE)
I cant finish The Kite Runner, I just cant compute the characters and felt very emotionally manipulated.

I watched Eat Drink Man Woman w/ my parents in a theater, I cant help but hold my dad's hand most of the movie. My dad is an awesome and intriguing cook and it's therapeutic for me to silently watch him diligently peel every clove of garlic w/ a tender care, wash them one by one then lining them up before smashing them almost w/ a prayer for their better reincarnation. It's one of my fondest vision of a man.

I had lotsa fun loitering loverboy's miniblog:
a coworker at TengRen tweeted (after ladyboss bday party) 'YH is a surprise, we thought he can only flirt like Yukata, little did we know he can play the piano like him in LV (though he's just passable)' *SWOON* This is a match make in fangirl/dreamboat heaven. I dont deserve this.

and this boy has to reply on ShiShi's tweet on a pic of herself and her fat cat, it's so beyond cute:
盯着小图看了八秒没发现猫在哪，可是大图又不知怎么点不开，于是凑近看，当时我的脸离屏幕只有0.01公分，但百分之一柱香之后，大图突然弹开，吓我一跳，这猫脸是怎么长的跟大饼似的？

lolz, how desperate was he to get his gorgeous face 0.01 cm fr the screen just coz the thumbnail wont show up in real size? SO much <3

@ celestialorigin-san, hope u have time to unwind and enjoy the wkend in J! ;)

i lub you, javabeans!

@23 - serendipity
O_0
I read that as 'legal transvestites', why yes, they are-- but not my Yoon Se-joon! He honesttogoodness is not, and if you've seen him in episode 3, you can also attest to the fact that he is not.

continued from #132

@epyc
That smile! (spear-pierce-heart).

About IW, no matter how virtuous he MIGHT turn to be, his tactics and mindset are so wrong.

And you're so right, KSY is solid and she's my #1 actress now. I knew she was too good for a more conventional kdrama heroine role - girl next door*? Never! Warrior? Always.

Oh and episode 10: sh*t-meet-fan! About time, too!

*pun not intended

@eiko
Jung Sun (aka. Prosecutor Jin) did look really cute, dressed all feminine for once, and how cutely she was mumbling to herself. But there’s a saying for this: ‘’too little, too late’’? Muhahaha!

Anybody experiencing problems with Viikii? Seems like I can't get to all the new episodes being supported by Viikii.....there's a message about the plug-in and I DO have it installed and haven't had any problems until today.

????

happy friday OT to all (well, except for the rude #32 commenter)!!

PT - end of ep10 nearly gave me a heart attack. i definitely rewinded that 20x just to see the beginning of that kiss. lol

PP - i'm really loving how hye ri is finally starting to depend and defend in woo.

CS - buckets of tears for ep10. i know it's a melo, but still.. that ending was too emotional for me. what made me cry even more was the fact that eun jo broke down alone.

wishing everyone a fun weekend!!!

JB - please get well soon!! try to drink lots of liquid if you can and sleep lots!!

@82 supah

Prosecutor Jin might not be in there too late.....after all Yoon hasn't made any declaration of sorts in the "I like you" arena.

I've been doing the muhahahaha from this morning! What a day of episodes!!!

I can't watch PP 10.....or any of the other Viikii supported dramas! Bummer!

I did get to Dong Yi ep 11.....love it, love it!!!! I think next ep Bae Soo Bin will finally see Dong Yi face to face and I want to see his reaction to her as an adult now. he only has mental image of her as a child.

Happy May day girlfriend!!!!

Wooo... I've met Ang Lee before during the CTHD years, and he's really down to earth guy, he had a cute little kid too (but who I bet is now in college). I didn't know that he is working on the Life of Pi. Neat.

@32 - Sheesh if you don't like Dramabeans content then just stick to Soompi or whatever. People have some nerve to complain about everything! Why don't you come up with a better blog then and do it the way you want to.

JB - hope you feel better!

I put off my habit of watching kdramas but after reading all the comments, it seems like both OML and PT had some great episodes this week! I must find time this weekend to watch, however, the weather is almost too good.

I love PT! Ep. 9 and 10, especially ep. 10 whose ending gave me those "smiling ouchies." :)

@ Nonbirira
Harvest Villa is a hoot, isn't it? Its fast-paced storytelling keeps me on my toes. And the well-writen plot, directing, and music are all awesome!

@ javabeans
Thank you so much for all that you do! Get well soon!

@ ockoala
I agree with what you said in response to #32. LOL @ the rotating header bit.

Re: The Life of Pi
I'm currently reading the novel right now and am loving it! Love Yann Martel's writing style and choice of words. I was wondering whether it was going to get a big screen adaptation, so thanks for the info.
A co-worker of mine and I were talking about novels that we've read or are currently reading and he recommended highly The Kite Runner, saying that it's one of his favorites novels. I'm planning to read it after I finish The Life of Pi and would love to read more on your opinion of The Kite Runner.

Also, have you seen Resurrection? It came before Mawang, from the same production team, and also staring UTW. Great show!

@ lb_tmi
Good luck on your procedure. You are more courageous than I am. Happy sunglass-shopping and wearing afterwards!

@ twin

Been so busy haven't been stalking our loverboy enough. Thanks for the goodies! He can play the piano like Yutaka?!? Seriously, his taste in books, movies already makes me giddy with appreciation all the time, but add to that some soulful piano playing, oh, and he's an amazing actor, yeah, he's our loverboy for life. So happy I found him, thanks to you. :-)

The Kite Runner is to me the Crash of the literary populist world. I only compare it to The Life of Pi but for what it aspired to be and fell short of, and for the accolades it got inspite of it.

When Crash won the Oscar over Brokeback Mountain (sob, thank the lord almighty Ang Lee won Best Director), I literally felt the urge to vomit. I hated Crash while I was watching it, each manufactured emotional frippery made me want to bitchslap the screenwriter. And Brokeback left me a mess, I was literally sobbing my way to sleep that night. If Crash hadn't purported to be some life affirming lesson against racism, I would have enjoyed it. To shroud oneself in pathethically preachy mores is what makes my skin crawl.

I think Ang Lee making The Life of Pi is theoretically a match made in Heaven.

@ doozy

I'm glad you are enjoying The Life of Pi. Its one of my favorite novels, it was an unforgettable read (still remember where I read it: one the beach in Puerto Rico with my GFs helping me get over a bad breakup). Yann Martel's prose is exquisite, I can't desribe it, only can say one has to read it to understand how difficult it is to write in such a simple way with a light touch of whimsy.

My thoughts on The Kite Runner? It took me awhile to dare say this, during the Kite Runner craze I felt like an apostate. But to heck with it, if I have an opinion, I should voice it and then substantiate it. So here goes:

I abhor The Kite Runner because it pretends to be so much more than it is. As a story that opens the door to modern day political turmoil in Afghanistan, it is very well done, the writing vivid and precise. As a story about the redemption of a person, its a maudlin, cliched, chock full of coincidences and soap-opera-esque revelations type mess, and characters who are good, bad, wise, kind, pick a trait, you;ve got a character who embodies it.

The first half was okay, the second half I wanted to burn, if I could ever "unread" The Kite Runner, I would. Trust me, I'm no literary snob or expert (I read enough romance novels to start my own bookstore), but The Kite Runner is a sandwich dressed up as a four course meal, and that pisses me off. I like sandwiches, just don't sandwiches faking itself and asking me to take it seriously. Blergh. Oh, and I felt the same way when I finished reading The Corrections. But the feeling of sheer emotional manipulation by the writer in The Kite Runner is way higher.

Oh, and I haven't watched Resurrection, but plan to after I finish The Devil.

hi everyone i am new here but have been a silent reader of dramabeans for about 2 years now and felt i should start talking now because I am constantly on dramabeans all the time. i check on it about 7 times a day.. he he

also a huge thanks to dramabeans....i absolutely love reading your recaps and your insights on dramas and want to thank you for taking the time and recapping some of my favourite dramas...and a hi to everyone......

@ supah

I am laughing like a looney lady right now! Okay....I'll go back and watch PP ep 10 after I send this to you! I know I got such a kick with Yoon....exercise?!!! The look on MHR face was PRICELESS!!!!

I'm done trying to figure out what's going on....I'm just gonna watch for the fun of it. I am so confused with IW and what they are doing....this drama feels like the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid! Or some others that have twists and turns and there's a big surprise at the end!

Because I'm (not) being so productive today (understatement)... I just found and need to share with any Calvin and Hobbes fans out there a C&H page written by 3 guys who just love C&H:

http://progressiveboink.com/archive/calvinhobbes.htm

I'm just sitting here reliving some of my favourites and laughing aloud.

@ ockoala

"Yann Martel’s prose is exquisite, I can’t desribe it, only can say one has to read it to understand how difficult it is to write in such a simple way with a light touch of whimsy."
I agree completely. What an apt. description of Martel's style.

Thanks for your thoughts! You wished to unread The Kite Runner? Eeks. From your review, the Kite Runner sounds like it's pretty pretentious and if there is one thing that I dislike from be it k-drama or books, it's pretentiousness. Will probably try it to see for myself but will drop it if it starts to stink.

I love this site. I check it about 10 times everyday. This site is easy to read, to wonder through, to find what I want. Some of the other sites are hard to maneuver through, can't find the topic I'm looking for, etc.

Plus, the news items are current and the writing is insightful. Thank you Javabean.

@ doozy

My thoughts on The Kite Runner is most likely in the minority (I know mookie hates it, too, and so did my husband), so you should definitely read it and form your own opinion. Khaled Hosseini choose a narrative event that was IMHO totally unnecessary to set up a redemption arc that would haved worked just as well through a less viscerally distasteful event. From that event, everything flowed outward and he had to play keep playing set up to move his story along. Unlike The Life of Pi, The Kite Runner is not a journey but is instead a series of narrative tollgates. And since I found tollgate 1 a giant cringeworthy shock and awe plot device, nothing thereafter worked for me.

I don't think Hosseini's writing (he's a good, not great, writer) or his novel's purpose, was pretentious. Its the critical mass his novel gained as a novel of meaningful stature does it become pretentious, and that is not Hosseini's doing. I would still read his books, if one is highly recommended to me.

@ the indian girl

here's the link for PT's ratings: http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Personal_Preference/Episode_Ratings

I don't normally like to snark back at people like 32 (oh, who are we kidding...I LOVE to snark!), but have you done the math? As one of the guest recappers who are "diluting" your direct feed to JB's genius, I happen to know firsthand that JB recaps the same amount she always did--FOUR friggin full-length recaps a week (please someone agree with me that that is a superhuman feat), plus she gives us updates on all the drama-related stuff we want? How on earth could you complain about that?

It's possible you were infected with an alien virus and have no control of your typing fingers....in which case I'm sorry for you. I hear they make a cream for that.

Peace,
GF

omg... i know everyone hate spoilers but i have to write this!!!! doesn't anyone else think that lee min ho gives the best onscreen kiss? he doesnt freeze which is what normally seems to happen in kdramas... haha!!!

btw... @javabeans hope u get better soon!!! ignore ppl like 32!!! been following the blog for the past few years and i still love it. the recaps are still awesome! if ppl cant wait they should just go to other places and check or just watch the damn episode themselves!!!! just wanted to say that... fighting! :D
