Happy Friday Yorabun (though it isn't that happy for me.. LOL) I'm addicted to dramas and I'm addicted to this site too.. so thanks!

On a random note, I think I'll have to stop watching dramas as they are ruining my life!

does anyone know where i can get an instrumental mp3 version of lovely day by park shin hye?

First post maybe?!!!

Anyway just wanted to say my drama addiction has kicked in again, unfortunately its a taiwanese drama this time called Autumn Concerto. Three days, 21 eps, by the end I was dying, the drama was like crack. I was wondering if anyone here could recommend a similar drama? One that has the same sort of epic love romance, good acting and a low angst level, AC really had the perfect angst level, unlike the weep-a-thon that is CS.

Happy Friday! :)

CS was a wee bit more enjoyable this week (esp ep 11) and it looks like things are going to pick up a bit in nxt week's episodes (hopefully). I sometimes feel like there's no main plot point here, like there's no goal. but some warped form of loyalty makes me keep going back and watching more eps. and after watching the cast on Happy Together, I genuinely like them. esp Seo Woo who doesn't seem that cutesy when out of character but instead v straightforward and sharp. And all in time for me to start liking her character a bit more on CS.

I really reeeeeally hope CS picks up the pace a bit for a good final sprint. I'd hate it if it started out awesome and ended flat. They'd just be wasting too much good talent!

The Miracle of Love starring Han Yeo-woon should have aired by now (both episodes aired today starting 21 pm Korean time). Did anyone watch this special drama yet? Also, is it available anywhere? I couldn't find a soompi thread for it...

btw, Happy Friday everyone! I've got a weekend of intense studying ahead of me but at least a birthday cake will lighten the mood somewhat (great study break) ^^

I have never had so much trouble as I've had.....TRYING.......
to watch "Personal Taste" online with English sub-titles.
I've posted before that I wish the dopes who run Korean TV
would recognize the existance of their non-Korean speaking
audience....or isn't "world-wide audience" any part of their
vocabulary? I only watched up until Episode #9.

Viikii plug-in, my foot. :(
Saving up my money to buy the Personal Taste DVD. :(

Aloha Kakahiaka! It's Aloha Friday!

Happy Mother's Day to all the special moms and grandmoms on OT and to the drama world!

A thought to carry you through today and the days ahead:

Take care....be good to yourselves and to the person next to you.

Love and peace!

I'm a viikii subber and the plug-in is a very small file which helps people view the videos faster. As we have so many people in our site, the site has lag a lot w/o th eplug in. If you don't wish to use viikii, it's actually better for us as we'll have one less person on the site! lol =.=

i'm so glad cs got better this wk, last wk was really quite a bit of disappointment. but overall, i'm still addicted with cs!
btw, who else here is looking forward to what's up!

Grace, I've only watched personal taste up to episode 8, where did you find episode 9?

#12 (:
I am looking forward to What's Up and I can't wait. Im Joo Hwan is one of those actors I am looking out for. Loved him in Tamra Island, and he has great potentials. I hope What's Up does not disappoint.

Caught up on Oh My Lady last night and couldn't stop SQUEEing at the ending of episode 14. <333333333333333333

Magandang Gabi!

It's Friday and I am so bummed. I am currently trying to download
Personal Taste ep 09. I do love LMH but patience is not one
of my virtues. I became interested in Procescutor Princess coz of
the recaps. Thanks javabeans and the talented guest who feed
my kdrama addiction.

@1 IcarusFalls you and me both, I think after PT i'm gonna have to stop watching kdramas for a while. I mean when more than three people (friends/coworkers) tell you, you're addicted, i guess there's some truth to it right? Heh, thank goodness for this site I don't feel alone...kdrama addicts fighting!

@grace from Jersey
Hi from California!
Uninstall and then reinstall the viikii pugin. Also make sure your flash player is up to date. It asked me to download the newer version. I did that and it works now.
If all else fails you can watch it on mysoju, but it will be a few episodes behind viikii.
Hope this helps.
Hey Jersey girl I grew up in the east coast too. Westchester county New York. In a tiny town called Pleasantville. I miss the change of seasons. What I don't miss is the hot and humid summer weather.:P
Hope you have a great weekend!

@grace from Jersey
youtube autumnspet (PT with English subs)

@ Stella
Happy mother's day to you too. I'm wondering what my kids have up their sleeve this year!

@Amg1

Remember the small instrument that Earth Wind and Fire made popular...kalimba? I'm listening to a cd with assorted music from Nature Company...hearing that sound brought back memories! :-)

I have been listening to the PT soundtrack in my mind the whole day! couldn't wait to get home and watch ep. 12. So glad i don't go crazy with every new show.

Happy Friday!
Happy Mothers' Day!

My heart flutters for you, Mum.

Coffee House seems to be an interesting drama, my exams are coming yet i couldn't stop my drama addiction. Help!

Happy Friday everyone!! and Happy Momma Day to all you awesome moms out there!

@ twin

i know you won't read this until next week, but GOOD LUCK on your lasik today!! so jealous of you and your soon-to-be perfect vision!

hello everyone! happy friday to all.
my flatmate is calling me an addict to k-dramas. i watch raw versions of PT and OML as soon as they are posted at dramasub. i understand a few ...and get a little frustrated when the scenes are sooo good i'd want to understand what they're saying.BUT, as a whole, i just get a kick from watching.
i like the way jin ho looks at kae-in...sweet!

exams/essays + dramas are such a dangerous combi. i remember nearly throwing my honours thesis to the four winds thanks to season 6 of buffy! gah! patience is a virtue. i recommend pulling through by 'rewarding' yourself for every hour or so of study with maybe 10 min of the drama you're chasing. worked for me once.

@ Autumn
miharatori is uploading Romance on youtube. (it's a hard to find drama)
Whenever she does that it slows our internet connection to a snails pace.
So, I know what you are going through.
Tell your mom that your sisters are watching too much Pokemon and not reading enough books. LOL That might buy you an hour or two of computer time :P

Happy Friday everyone!!
Happy Mother's day !!

More rain and cold winds here in southwestern Ontario .....

Prosecutor Princess is my current obsession, loving the actors and the writer ... so good !!!

=)

Happy Friday, everyone!

@#3, Om -
I love Autumn Concerto! I really enjoyed watching it. I'm following Down with Love, right now. Although the mood is lighter, it's still quite enjoyable (at least, to me).

@ badtanline
Help I can't find the PT soundtrack with English subs. It's driving me crazy. Since I don't know any Korean. Need to learn it some day!
Do you know where I can find it?

I was going through one of my most depressing phases when drama actaully took me away into another world. And i got hooked into a taiwanese drama called Iswak. Then coffee Prince and the list is now endless. I just finished autumns concherto and following OML and Personal Taste.
As a drama addict I am totally bowled over by Pt. I guess the whole gay thing where a man and woman discover each other ( similar to coffee Prince with out too much angst ) and fall in love despite of it , Its somr thing evry woman wants to experience. Lee Min Ho now makes me blush while even thinking of him. These dramas are really cool stories and i love the romance in them . Sorry for waxing poetic but i feel really good about Drama beans as well. Its showing me that there is a need for these things and its getting fulfilled. Hope i did not take too long ......
Lets Have more fun. FIGHTING .

@30 mastille what do u mean? I have'nt seen it yet but in very curious to know if its better than ep 11? Don't want any spoilers just curious whether its good ot bad?

Despite the load of midterms during this past week, I would say that all is well because I got to see Chun Jung Myung's smile(s) make an appearance in Cinderella's Sister! So beautiful. I can't believe how much I've missed it.

Anyway, Happy Friday!

it's midnight and I'm still in office!! *sob*

@ Babes ' I can safely say ep 12 of PT is jjajang !!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day wkend peeps! There's a free California Philharmonic concert in my area celebrating Mother's Day so that's where I'll be heading for a sweet time with my family.

And those of you striving through life without, here, there is always one, two, three, and more, HERE, to mother you towards a stronger life path. Try not to forget that. Much love!

@ 2 dramaville

Here ya go @ http://tiffanytrangann.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/park-shin-hye-lovely-day-instrumental-youre-beautiful-ost/

Ahh, the last wkend of AMCG. I really want to find out what SIK's next project will be. I happen to find AMCG OST addictive, who here feel the same?

TGIF! ^ , ^ v

@ nileey
Hope you can look forward to a weekend full of Kdramas.:)

@ carinne
Where is the concert? I'm in Cupertino. (Near San Jose)

@ 41 Lessaofpern

yay for Cupertino!! haha that's my hometown ;)

@ 41 Lessaofpern

The concert is in Arcadia (6 hrs away from you dearest). =(

* free popcorn from Kernal's... too
* free ice cream from Ben N' Jerry... too

AHH! Friday! Someone tell me it isn't so! Work today, Soccer Coaching tomorrow in the morning, work tomorrow in the afternoon, work sunday! Did I mention my mom is throwing a BBQ for just about everyone we know on Saturday?! Oh, and what was that about mother's day? And all I EVER wanted was to catch up to OML and PT~! Save me from the weekennnnndd!

@ 42 lovenyc52
Cupertino: Land of the Asians. Where whites are a minority. It does not feel like I'm living in America. You see Asians, and Indians everywhere.
Where I grew up I was the only foreigner (Pakistani). Here I don't stand out at all (darn it).

@ carinne
Please eat my share of popcorn and ice cream :P

Happy Mother's Day (in 2 days) to all the mommy drama lovers out there (and daddy, children drama lovers, make sure you give your mommy/wifey a big fat kiss for all their hard work!).

First things first, for those of who curious about the old-school K-drama What Happened in Bali, a review has been posted at Thundie (written by yours truly, but I would love if you all went to poke around TP and see all the goodies Thundie has compiled): http://thundie.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/what-happened-in-bali/

I'm still not caught up on PT12, gah, I blame it all our Our Pi (um, our is mine and serendipity's, but everyone is welcome to come claim a piece, I think Pi is meant for sharing).

I finished Buzzer Beat last night, which entailed trying to watch the last 3 episodes with my husband making fun of Pi, Keiko, and the entire cast and the "basketball" playing skills. I'm just so glad I was not caught watching YT vids of Seshun Amigo (oh lord have mercy, never have I been so hypnotized by sheer cheese). [and yes, serendipity, the boy wonder appears to have been severely tanned making BB, love to read his blog myself, except my Japanese is rustier than a nail submerged in the Pacific).

@ momosan, I'm totally gearing up to watch Yankee-kun, just want to bank a few more eps. Is it more Nobuta, Zakura or Otomen in flavor? And are you gonna watch Tsuki no Koibito on Monday? If so, please give an ep. 1 first impression. The CM I watched, and some cast interviews, everyone is looking good, but I CANNOT get over how annoying Lin Chi-ling's real voice is (remember, she collectively pissed off the entire Chinese audience in Red Cliff part 1 so much they dubbed her and only her for Red Cliff part 2). But I have to say, she looks great with KimuTaku. Is she the koibuto?

BB is a third-rate sports-rom (rom-sport?) that is saved by a "seared into my brain I love it so much" soundtrack, the quitessential jdorama directing that combines movement with elegant simplicity, and of course, For the Love of Pi. Otherwise, it's probably Pride's bastard younger brother. [Yeah, my Pride DVD is coming, I can finally see what makes momosan all fluttery about it!]

I feel like AMCG is limping towards the finish line (what a shame, such an exhiliratingly Am I seeing what I'm seeing? start). But I'm totally geared up for Kim Suro. Dong Yi lost me the second it became Da Jeum Geun part 2, but 6 years later you would have though PD Lee would have take steps forward and he appears to have stayed stagnant (plus HHJ is not (yet) LYA, and JJH is strangely the smiliest Emperor ever in a saguek, and kinda creeps me out with his grinning eyes and yo-ho-ho portrayal).

But PT, sigh, PT is love. Lee Min-ho-My God, I'll take the fast train into the fire for you and Pi. I'm okay with or without an extension. Or even a bout of cancer, leukemia, or kidney failure. I vote for paralysis, hand paralysis, so that Kae-in has to be Jin-ho's hands in finishing the museum project. Yay for fatal illness + OTP working together!

hulu now has korean dramas such as coffee prince, iris and my name is kim sam soon! :) and theyre probably gonna add more yay!

@ Icarusfalls: Good to see another fellow ViiKiilian who understands the hard work we put into subbing/uploading/editing/etc the dramas.

Anyways, this is dramabeans guys, let's not forget that and let's not use it as an excuse to to start an all out war between those loyal to ViiKii and those less appreciative of the effort put into it.

So:

@Om: It's funny you said Autumn's Concerto is not angsty, because the fast forward button became my best friend. It wasn't just the angst (although you're right, CS is a bit more extreme when it comes to the angst) but it was just too slow for me. Maybe it's because I'm used to the shorter J-doramas, or the often fast paced K-dramas I decide to watch. Don't get me wrong, I love me my Taiwanese dramas too (Down With Love, P.S Man - this one starts out REALLY SLOW but gets better, etc).

@Folks still in School: I just can't help but say... My last final was this week and I'm not taking any courses for summer, just work (Finally.. I'm tired of overloading with classes and no play). HAHA! SUMMER here we come!
