Yes, we will get Eric, but you will have to pay us. We are all chipping in for Brookeve's plane, and in case the plane gets lonely we are also buying a getaway bus. ;)
You write whatever comes to mind. Sometimes related to Kdrama, and sometimes not, I have seen just about every topic of fandom, socio-economic political idolatry, chemical induced and chemical reduced posts. It truly is up to you to discuss whatever. Jump in and respond to the wacky fun!
Actually, that's the polite explanation. Seriously though, the whole OT idea came about because I talk about TOP too much. And my little sister talks about Siwon too much. And Diadda needed a place to show us her videos and limericks. And I have pigeons.
LOL :D You forgot to say long lost CRAZED family members.
Daughter, I just got my minivan windows tinted. I also have a stunt driving class this afternoon. This is all part of the elaborate plan. Bu Haa Ha.
Awesome! But you still need to go through a background check. How you answer the following question will determine your eligibility to join "Operation Super Secret Hush Hush Planned on a Public Forum" ;)
Answer: Choi Siwon is a very good brother-in-law whom I will never touch because he belongs to my little sister Viola. Also, no other girl will ever touch him, ever, because he belongs to my little sister Viola. Also, if any other girl ever touches him my pigeons will harm her (the girl, not Viola).

Yay! The limericks are back! You really are smarting from the lack of kiss, huh? Have some of my chocolate coverd Song Joong Ki smile, they take your mind off everything! :)
Yes I wanted that kiss! I started the fanfics from the link provided below. I think I am worse now. I should not have done that. I should not have done that. I was just starting to get better. The fever was breaking. Now I shall require hospitalization.
i miss jae hee this week so i started to watch his 3-Iron movie...and it left me speechless from awe...kinda like how jae hee doesn't have a single line here but still managed to be all kinds of awesome...care to share your thoughts?
I don't know what it was...perhaps lack of dialogue, or action, I was just waiting for something to happen. I mean, I understood the movie, and I'll admit it was creative and the acting was good. But movies that are too artsy tend to kill me slowly and painfully.
Maybe I'm like a dude and need more adrenaline injected into my movies.
Hi OTers,
It's been hectic in my country,tsunami and volcanic eruption.there are no words to describe how painful the situation now.these tragedies make me think a lot,of how we are so vulnerable,anything can happen.yet,we strive to survive because life is so precious.i guess when youre in a situation where you think you come close to death make you appreciate every piece of life.you want to keep it safe in your pocket of memory.
God,i hope i dont ruin your day by writing this..enjoy your day!
I hope you're enjoying your day as well! Even though the world can be a tragic place, these tragedies make you appreciate the beautiful things in life :)
Sad to see what happen to our country (yes, we come from the same country). I wish I could do more than sending them my best prey and wish (Ok I'll figure out how, cause even the simplest thing is matter when come about help). I hope these tragedies make people in our country more strong and united. Indonesia hwaiting!!
It's true, when you in are really desperate situations, you truly learn to value every little thing. May God keep you and your family members safe. Ameen. <3
I can't believe SSK is over. It's so hard to say good bye to "Lee Sun Joon" and the 4 of them had so much on-screen presence. = (
Thanks You for all the hard work and recapping SSK.
Mary Me, Me....here we come!!!! Anyone one else excited?
@holey moley
My 3-Iron DVD was borrowed and never returned damn youuuuuuu....
Your right it was a good movie, hell even my dormmates were able to finish it and they hate watching movies with subtitles. The consensus was that Jae hee is crazy. I never disabuse them of that notion too hard to explain that he was tring to be a shadow, to live in occupied space. Even I can't explain it to myself *sigh*.
yup. i'm with them in the sense that he is bordering crazy..but gah!!!! the execution is marvelous...in skks, i raved on how poignant and very necessary was the dialogues in the series...but here, i'm in awe on how dialogues are rendered useless in the movie but still managed to induced goosebumps in me...i watched it like 5 days ago but the feeling i had after watching it was just GAH!!!! 3 iron is kinda repulsive but still riveting, intrusive but astonishing at the same time...
Can't wait for the next epi of Dr. Champ. I'm so curious on who will Yeon Woo will end up with, I like them both but I still prefer Do Wook. :) And I just want to ask if am I the only one who thinks that Go Bum, Park Ji Heon, Cha Eun Suk and Yoon Sang Bong an eye candy? They're all hot! LOL I really like the angst of Go Bum. :) Dr. Champ is really my current addiction and I'm looking forward to watch It's alright Daddy's Girl coz of Donghae and Kim Tae Ho.
Also, I really hope that Jo Hyun Jae will accept Love Song as his comeback drama. It's been months and they still haven't announce who the male lead is. :(
Also enjoying Dr Champ...story and acting pretty good, eye candy not bad, either...think Yeon Woo will end up with Ji Heon...agree that Jung Gyu Woon has quite a bod. Saw him on Kangs talk show last week tossing Shindong and dancing and baring his six pack (drool)
Me too, want to see Jo Hyun Jae back on screen (Love Song or any other drama), but his father just died. I read from his fansites that he really took it very hard. So I doubt if we'd see him any time soon.
I've been suffering from K drama withdrawal this week. I had a guest from out of the country. In true desi style I was cooking up a storm and shopping for gifts for my nephew and his family. I also got to go on a school field trip with my son to N.A.S.A. Ames :D It was really nice. They asked for the chaperons info. two weeks in advance. I think they did a full background check on us before we were allowed on base :P. ( They must not have read this blog :P )
I still have not seen episode 20 of SKKS. Where can I watch the full episode? Help!!!!!! It's been driving me crazy all week!!!!!
dramafever has 18 episodes of SKKS....next two episodes should be up soon. They have the best quality, without having to preload the episodes and without having to jump to different parts.
And oh yes, that does sound very desi :P
Dramafever will have 19 + 20 after the subs are out at soompi plus a few days. From 10 on those are soompi's subs that they have tweaked. I suspect eventually they'll switch to the official subs from the station.
I never quite know what to say in open threads. What? Open topic? No, give me a topic, dammit! (Sorry, too many years of writing college essays have ingrained in me this dependency.)
I guess... just... going through severe withdrawal symptoms with SKKS's end. Sigh. At least I have a recap left to alleviate the pain. And if they release a Director's Cut, I'm seriously considering buying it (and I NEVER buy DVDs!).
Ok start to rant or rave, join the fun....(oh you can have your own recap here, I guess, I would like to read some opinion on series I've watched that not recapped here at DB)
Welcome to OT :)
@ red pill: I'm still listening your song of the day, he, he, he I love this song, thanks for it.
People should use spell-check more often. That, and also check that the word that is spelt right is actually the word they want to be using. Hah. I've seen plenty of instances when the word is right...but not in the context you want to be using it.
This week I finally ordered my desired Kindel from Amazon & got in in 2 days [that was a huge surprise as I live outside of the US] - all I can say is the Kindel is the best device for reading books. I already downloaded many favorites of mine to it and am looking forward to tomorrow, when I will at long last get a chance to read some books who have been on my "must read list" for months.
I love my Kindle too :D Now I can get lots of my favorite books and not clutter up my bookshelves. Last year I had to say farewell to 10 boxes of books *sobs*, they were taking up half my closet space (I had already filled my bookshelves to the max, and this was the overflow).
I must confess, I miss holding a proper book. Also the book covers are not in color. :(
Is the Kindle worth it? I'm considering it but there's just something about holding a book and not looking at a screen that I really enjoy...how's the transition?
Oh yeah, did you celebrate our Giants at all? It was amazing!
Woo Hoo Giants won the World Series!!!! We were glued to our set that day. I wish they had won here in San Fran.
Kindle is nice it gives you a feel of reading a paperback. The screen is not backlit like a computer, so you can read it in the sun with no glare. Check out the new Nook too it is in color and has a touch screen. With the Nook you can get free books from your local library too.
@ okie dokie Hey you have an open invitation to come visit. Just give me a little heads up. We can do lunch at a nice Korean place or a Pakistani restaurant. Both places the food is HOT!!!! Or, if time is short a quick tea at my place. ( I know a lot of GOOD bakeries) :D
I live outside to the US so its definitely worth it for me. I save tons of money on shipping rates & save time by getting the books instantly without waiting for them to arrive by mail.
The transition between pages while reading is smooth and I find Its easy to adjust. the device isnt too big [like the IPod] so it doesnt tire either your eyes or hands.
I also debated and in the end decided to buy an ebook device. the Kindel was the best choice for me b'cos it allows me to enjoy a large variety of content. it suited me more than the Nook or even a e-reader sold in my country which offered very small choice of books.
Holding a book in your hands while reading a pleasure that as a book lover I will never give up. I am still going to be buying hard copy of books that I enjoy and plan to re-read over the years. so far, I am the only one in my family who likes the kindel so there is no question of us not buying or reading books taken from the public library.
I know the feeling of having to say goodbye to a collection of books I had for many years. when we changed apartments I saw no way to take all mt books with me and had to donate some to the public library. The great advantage of the Kindel is the space it saves.
Some say there's a sensation of touching the paper with hands that makes people keep coming back to books even there's e book reader. A book is safer for the eyes (my eyes hurt reading e-book to much) and save you from the inconvenience on having to find electricity source, in case you travel to a place without electricity.
I fought the whole e-reader thing for so long too. I gave in and got it because it is great for travel. I can't sleep on an airplane, so I read the whole time. I used to have to carry four paperbacks with me ( two for the outgoing journey and two for the return). San. Fran. to Islamabad is a LONG flight :(
I hear you mommy, 22 hour flight are no joke! I lugged hardback, omnibus edition of Patricia Mckillip's Riddle Master of Hed trilogy, but couldn't fit it into my bag. So, I kept it in the pouch of the seat and left it on the plane. I had a SIX hour layover at Abu Dhabi, stuck with my bratty bother with nothing to do. Purgatory! I cried my eyes out for that book, it was a first edition. :(
Because you all and JB high recommendation, I stared watching Soulmate last week. Oh yeah forget to mention, the premise: The OTP won't truly meeting until half of the series.
Oh Ok like usual my random comments: Before watching this series, I thought my sister is my soulmate in certain way. But Soulmate gives the highest definition of Soulmate. Soulmate: The person who accidentally meets you every where & uses the cloth that color matching with yours, has the same taste of music or food, and the most important thing can read your mind. And now, I'm more confuse what Soulmate is all about.
I don't judge series, it's bad or not, not to this series or all kdrama series that I've watched before. Everyone has her/his own cup of tea. But I would like to compare it with series I watched recently: I like WISFC, Wish Upon A Star and SoAM more, same with Friend Our Legend, not more than Love & Marriage. And ups I like Cinderella sister and World Within more than this (I know there're many people who disappointed with this two series, hee). Ok I prefer a classic conventional type of kdrama than the type kdrama that Soulmate has.
Those classic conventional type of kdrama is the reason behind my unreasonable love to kdrama.
And now I wait impatiently for My Bus to take me fast to Monday.... SKKS So Long, Au Revoir
me = BARELY restraining myself from reading the SKK ep 17 recap. 17 and 18 aren't on dramafever yet and I can't find anywhere else to watch them. :'(
I think it may be my favorite drama of all time. I guess I'll know once I see the end... I felt this way about Gumiho Girlfriend too, but then the end was flat for me. *sigh*
I hate school it keeps me from watching korean dramas...getting your phd seriously gets in the way of EVERYTHING wonderful. I've already decided what I shall watch during break:
Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Playful Kiss
Marry Stayed Out All Night
Whas been holding me over is "Running Man"...OMG, I love this show. I do miss "FamilY Outing" but this show is a wonderful substitute. Song Joong Ki is adorable of course and he totally knows it too.
Omo, I love Running Man too. They show it on Sunday nights but without subtitles but I found a site that has links to streaming fansubs. It's pretty awesome. Some of the games are repetitive but they are SOO funny. I think my fave is the game where the chasing team wears bells. Yoo Jae-suk is hilarious. And the loveline between Gary and Song Ji-hyo is funny too. Now that SKKS is over hopefully Joong-ki will be on more.
This week kicked me while I was already down. Not only am I suffering from a head cold but:
NaNoWriMo started on Monday. I managed to get my 2k word goal for the day done, same on Tuesday (even though I was working on a presentation/project that my prof railroaded me with). But failed on Wednesday (didn't write a single word because I had a 6pg paper to due as well as a 2pg single spaced paper to finish) and yesterday I made it up by writing a little over 4k words.
This weekend I hope to get to 14k words because I will be doing nothing all weekend...though that is a total lie because I will hopefully be watching eps 52/3 of Life is Beautiful...but only if WITHS2 releases it. I would donate for VIA access, but I'm waiting until Athena starts airing to do that. Oh and homework, I have a paper due next week as well as rough draft of another paper. And I have to catch a train on Wednesday to go home for the long weekend (Veteran's Day on the 11th, skipping class Friday, Family Reunion on Sat, and trip to visit family in NH on Sunday).
When I going to have time to watch anything between NaNo, all my homework, and family stuff? Only this weekend and next Friday...
Hope everyone's Friday isn't as hectic as mine is going to be (this friday, not next).
Yes, drama watching is like a drug. But I can multi-task and watch a drama while writing; it's just a bit difficult when I get on a roll with my writing because I tend to focus more on that then the drama. It doesn't help that the cast in my novel is Asian and the settings are Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea. Makes me want to watch dramas more.
I've been watching K-dramas for years, but for the first time I'm thankful for them in helping me keeping my sanity while I'm looking for a job for the first time.
I'm in the very last stretch of SKKS and I'm so sad it's ending. I always do this to myself. I will marathon a series cuz it's so darn good, trying to watch 3,4,5 eps each night after work before i pass out... and then before you know it it's over and i'm sad that i didn't take longer to enjoy it. I did this with City Hall too... sigh.
So I just wanted to say thanks so much to all the recappers for this series - I would not have understood so much of it w/o your help!! So to @red pill, @cassie, @girlfriday, and @javabeans, thanks for all your hard work on not only recapping but your ever witty commentary :) looking forward to the last 2!
haha yes, City Hall was just one of the many I've done this with... it leads to many zombie-like workdays :T
I loved City Hall - it's really a gem that I think was way under-appreciated. CSW is beyond smexy and the chemistry he had with KSA... indescribable. a very enjoyable ride... just ask @ockoala :D
beware.. it took me until ep 8 or so before i didn't want to drop kick Gookie.. but i kept at watching because of all the ravings from said poster and aforementioned poster... and then i absolutely LOVED the rest of the drama!!
the only dramas i semi-marathoned were YB and B&W. i could NOT get enough of those dramas.. it took a while for me to get over them ending.. heck, i've just recently gotten over YB because of MGiaG... which i have yet to finish. BOO!
@ twin
you didn't finish watching SKKS last night? i would have thought you would be done already. lol.
my twin (@lb_tmi) has warned you fairly i guess. i personally never disliked Gookie - probably because i knew they were meant to be and there was a reason for all the madness lols.
Black & White (B&W) was another one I did that i regretted marathoning too because before i knew it, it was over :( ... omg the bromance in THAT one haha... not as 'obvious' as SKKS's but definitely took center stage over any of the leading ladies.
@ twin
can you please finish MGiaG already please? it's up fully subbed on dramafever :) so get on that!!!
and no i didn't finish watching SKKS... it's only subbed up to ep 18... i watched ep 19 raw and read the live recap on thundie's prattle to supplement my complete lack of knowledge of the korean language. that process takes twice as long to watch one ep btw haha. so by then i was way too tired to do that with ep 20 ha. figure i'll just wait till next week and rewatch 19 and 20 together... Yummy in ep 19 is super epic.... he's such a rockstar.
but i just don't want MGiaG to end.. it hurts when dramas end. BOO!!! plus i can't this weekend (i still have one more project and midterm next week i should be studying for). but i will.. SOON. promise :)
CSW was all sorts of freaken HOT, but he was a jerk at the beginning, so it took a while for me to warm up to him, but i still thought he was hot the whole time. lol.
dude, i was super sad when MGiaG ended too... but i really liked the ending a lot. and it makes me want to rewatch the series soon... cuz i finally finished SKKS this weekend and need something else.
i think i'm going to watch Antique Bakery and Frozen Flower and Strongest Chil Woo now actually.. i need my Yoo Ah In and Song Joong Ki fix... STAT!!
I totally do that too... I always regret it the next day when I have to get up for class, but somehow I don't learn my lesson.
I was kicking myself for not taking it slower after the last episode of City Hall too. I have never felt the thrill of wanting to know what happens next so much with any other drama.
i have seen episodes 19 and 20 of SKKS, but still waiting for the ones with sub. watching the no-sub eps reminded me of my visit to Seoul last winter where I had conversations with a lot of locals in Korean (asking for directions, ordering food, etc.) and was amazed at how I got what they were saying, although I didn't understand word by word. can't wait for the eng sub episodes!
anyway. SKKS took me away a bit from the rom-com story that I am writing, which is about a star football player and a starting out diva - both still in college and attending the same school - who are in a Romeo VS. Juliet kind of situation. (Their families want them together, they would turn violent at each other when left to themselves.) and then someone put a spell on them which caused them to switch bodies, which is a problem more than the given, because the Romeo is about to be drafted into the professional league and the Juliet had just signed for a record deal with her girl group.
I used to have Jang Geun-Suk as my character inspiration for the Romeo, but has now switched to Song Joong-Ki, because I loved the way he handled the Yeo-rim character. And for the Juliet, Shin Min-Ah (GF is a Gumiho) is the character inspiration. It helps to have these people in mind while writing, because it makes the process more fun. :)
wow...SKKS withdrawal is pretty strong here...due to my 3 week hiatus..i have yet to catch up...i gues i should be caught up by the time subs for ep 20 are up somewhere...on a sadder note Life is Beautiful is also ending this week... along with SKKS, Dr Champ is rocking my life right now as well....i sincerely hope this doesnt go the path that the sports dramas of last year took (Dream, Triple) ...next week is going to be awsome!....Mary stayed out all night will be premiering....sigh i havent seen JGS on screen forever!!.....also Secret Garden will be premiering...all i can say is BINNIE!!....despite having my reservations on both dramas i might still watch for the actors
SKK Scandal has ended. Waiting patiently (er, sorta) for the English subs. Am so gonna miss the Jalgeum Quartet. Especially Yeorim. He really stole my heart. (Well, Jae-Shin is time-sharing it with him, hehehe).
I gotta come out and say I didn't have high hopes for this drama at first. I'm very, very wary of saeguks. Not being Korean, I'm always worried that half of it's going to be over my head and spoil the fun. A lot of the stuff in SKK was a bit of a question mark for me (a lot of the political stuff, like the factions) but that didn't stop me from having a fantastic time. So thank you, drama, and thanks for all the recappers for filling in the blanks.
I think on another thread, someone said they finally realized that Micky Yuchun was cute. Me too! I've seen him on and off (don't really listen to Kpop) in other places, but he always had some weird asymmetrical haircut that I found unflattering. He's smokin' in this drama though, to the point where if I see him in JYJ promotional stuff, I just wanna yell, get this man in a hanbok, STAT!
And Jae-shin - love the hair. Love the bracelet. Love the brooding. Love it all.
And Yeorim - just LOVE. :D
Yoon-hee deserves a shout-out too, for not being a simpering milk-and-water miss and being able to quote Confucius around the guys. You go girl!
Gonna miss this drama so much. Sigh. Well, Mary's coming, right? Gotta catch my bus!
Micky seem to me always that ehh kind of haircut, not the kind that Kpop idol usually has. I look at him in modern style cloth over and over again, wonder why so many people find him cute. Now, I can't help to agree with them. Micky is hot in Hanbok.
I am constantly torn between my love for JaeShin and Yeorim.. whenever one is onscreen, i pledge my undying love for them... and then the other one comes on and i find myself doing the same thing. it's probably another reason why i ship them together.
I think what's so great about Yummy+Moony is that they are polar opposites of each other and yet are BFFs. Yummy is pale pale milky white with impeccable fashion, a cheerful playboy and has an aversion to physical exertion. Then we have Moony who is dark and broody with a lil bit of facial fuzz (<3!!), couldn't care less about his clothes and can fight off 20 men at once, but hiccups when ladies are around. The hiccups have to be one of the cutest character traits i've ever seen, btw.

November 5, 2010 at 1:04 PM
Answer: Choi Siwon is a very good brother-in-law whom I will never touch because he belongs to my little sister Viola. Also, no other girl will ever touch him, ever, because he belongs to my little sister Viola. Also, if any other girl ever touches him my pigeons will harm her (the girl, not Viola).

I don't know what it was...perhaps lack of dialogue, or action, I was just waiting for something to happen. I mean, I understood the movie, and I'll admit it was creative and the acting was good. But movies that are too artsy tend to kill me slowly and painfully.
Maybe I'm like a dude and need more adrenaline injected into my movies.

Hi OTers,
It's been hectic in my country,tsunami and volcanic eruption.there are no words to describe how painful the situation now.these tragedies make me think a lot,of how we are so vulnerable,anything can happen.yet,we strive to survive because life is so precious.i guess when youre in a situation where you think you come close to death make you appreciate every piece of life.you want to keep it safe in your pocket of memory.
God,i hope i dont ruin your day by writing this..enjoy your day!

My 3-Iron DVD was borrowed and never returned damn youuuuuuu....
Your right it was a good movie, hell even my dormmates were able to finish it and they hate watching movies with subtitles. The consensus was that Jae hee is crazy. I never disabuse them of that notion too hard to explain that he was tring to be a shadow, to live in occupied space. Even I can't explain it to myself *sigh*.

yup. i'm with them in the sense that he is bordering crazy..but gah!!!! the execution is marvelous...in skks, i raved on how poignant and very necessary was the dialogues in the series...but here, i'm in awe on how dialogues are rendered useless in the movie but still managed to induced goosebumps in me...i watched it like 5 days ago but the feeling i had after watching it was just GAH!!!! 3 iron is kinda repulsive but still riveting, intrusive but astonishing at the same time...

Can't wait for the next epi of Dr. Champ. I'm so curious on who will Yeon Woo will end up with, I like them both but I still prefer Do Wook. :) And I just want to ask if am I the only one who thinks that Go Bum, Park Ji Heon, Cha Eun Suk and Yoon Sang Bong an eye candy? They're all hot! LOL I really like the angst of Go Bum. :) Dr. Champ is really my current addiction and I'm looking forward to watch It's alright Daddy's Girl coz of Donghae and Kim Tae Ho.
Also, I really hope that Jo Hyun Jae will accept Love Song as his comeback drama. It's been months and they still haven't announce who the male lead is. :(

I also got to go on a school field trip with my son to N.A.S.A. Ames :D It was really nice. They asked for the chaperons info. two weeks in advance. I think they did a full background check on us before we were allowed on base :P. ( They must not have read this blog :P )

Kindle is nice it gives you a feel of reading a paperback. The screen is not backlit like a computer, so you can read it in the sun with no glare. Check out the new Nook too it is in color and has a touch screen. With the Nook you can get free books from your local library too.

I live outside to the US so its definitely worth it for me. I save tons of money on shipping rates & save time by getting the books instantly without waiting for them to arrive by mail.
The transition between pages while reading is smooth and I find Its easy to adjust. the device isnt too big [like the IPod] so it doesnt tire either your eyes or hands.
I also debated and in the end decided to buy an ebook device. the Kindel was the best choice for me b'cos it allows me to enjoy a large variety of content. it suited me more than the Nook or even a e-reader sold in my country which offered very small choice of books.
Holding a book in your hands while reading a pleasure that as a book lover I will never give up. I am still going to be buying hard copy of books that I enjoy and plan to re-read over the years. so far, I am the only one in my family who likes the kindel so there is no question of us not buying or reading books taken from the public library.

Happy Friday.....
Because you all and JB high recommendation, I stared watching Soulmate last week. Oh yeah forget to mention, the premise: The OTP won't truly meeting until half of the series.
Oh Ok like usual my random comments: Before watching this series, I thought my sister is my soulmate in certain way. But Soulmate gives the highest definition of Soulmate. Soulmate: The person who accidentally meets you every where & uses the cloth that color matching with yours, has the same taste of music or food, and the most important thing can read your mind. And now, I'm more confuse what Soulmate is all about.
I don't judge series, it's bad or not, not to this series or all kdrama series that I've watched before. Everyone has her/his own cup of tea. But I would like to compare it with series I watched recently: I like WISFC, Wish Upon A Star and SoAM more, same with Friend Our Legend, not more than Love & Marriage. And ups I like Cinderella sister and World Within more than this (I know there're many people who disappointed with this two series, hee). Ok I prefer a classic conventional type of kdrama than the type kdrama that Soulmate has.
Those classic conventional type of kdrama is the reason behind my unreasonable love to kdrama.
And now I wait impatiently for My Bus to take me fast to Monday.... SKKS So Long, Au Revoir

Some of the games are repetitive but they are SOO funny. I think my fave is the game where the chasing team wears bells. Yoo Jae-suk is hilarious. And the loveline between Gary and Song Ji-hyo is funny too. Now that SKKS is over hopefully Joong-ki will be on more.

Happy Friday!
This week kicked me while I was already down. Not only am I suffering from a head cold but:
NaNoWriMo started on Monday. I managed to get my 2k word goal for the day done, same on Tuesday (even though I was working on a presentation/project that my prof railroaded me with). But failed on Wednesday (didn't write a single word because I had a 6pg paper to due as well as a 2pg single spaced paper to finish) and yesterday I made it up by writing a little over 4k words.
This weekend I hope to get to 14k words because I will be doing nothing all weekend...though that is a total lie because I will hopefully be watching eps 52/3 of Life is Beautiful...but only if WITHS2 releases it. I would donate for VIA access, but I'm waiting until Athena starts airing to do that. Oh and homework, I have a paper due next week as well as rough draft of another paper. And I have to catch a train on Wednesday to go home for the long weekend (Veteran's Day on the 11th, skipping class Friday, Family Reunion on Sat, and trip to visit family in NH on Sunday).
When I going to have time to watch anything between NaNo, all my homework, and family stuff? Only this weekend and next Friday...
Hope everyone's Friday isn't as hectic as mine is going to be (this friday, not next).

Yes, drama watching is like a drug. But I can multi-task and watch a drama while writing; it's just a bit difficult when I get on a roll with my writing because I tend to focus more on that then the drama. It doesn't help that the cast in my novel is Asian and the settings are Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea. Makes me want to watch dramas more.
Good Luck to your sister though!

I've been watching K-dramas for years, but for the first time I'm thankful for them in helping me keeping my sanity while I'm looking for a job for the first time.

Yeah K dramas are a good for relaxing. They are my drug of choice, since I don't drink or smoke. :D

Happy Friday everyone!
I'm in the very last stretch of SKKS and I'm so sad it's ending. I always do this to myself. I will marathon a series cuz it's so darn good, trying to watch 3,4,5 eps each night after work before i pass out... and then before you know it it's over and i'm sad that i didn't take longer to enjoy it. I did this with City Hall too... sigh.
So I just wanted to say thanks so much to all the recappers for this series - I would not have understood so much of it w/o your help!! So to @red pill, @cassie, @girlfriday, and @javabeans, thanks for all your hard work on not only recapping but your ever witty commentary :) looking forward to the last 2!
long live Yummy+Moony <3 rawr

lol...I've totally done that marathon thing, with more dramas than I'd care to admit. :-p
You really liked City Hall? I never got around to watching that one...

haha yes, City Hall was just one of the many I've done this with... it leads to many zombie-like workdays :T
I loved City Hall - it's really a gem that I think was way under-appreciated. CSW is beyond smexy and the chemistry he had with KSA... indescribable. a very enjoyable ride... just ask @ockoala :D

hm...I'll have to check it out. I love KSA already, and am certainly inclined to love CSW (never seen him in anything, but HOT!). :D

beware.. it took me until ep 8 or so before i didn't want to drop kick Gookie.. but i kept at watching because of all the ravings from said poster and aforementioned poster... and then i absolutely LOVED the rest of the drama!!
the only dramas i semi-marathoned were YB and B&W. i could NOT get enough of those dramas.. it took a while for me to get over them ending.. heck, i've just recently gotten over YB because of MGiaG... which i have yet to finish. BOO!
@ twin
you didn't finish watching SKKS last night? i would have thought you would be done already. lol.

@ hester
my twin (@lb_tmi) has warned you fairly i guess. i personally never disliked Gookie - probably because i knew they were meant to be and there was a reason for all the madness lols.
Black & White (B&W) was another one I did that i regretted marathoning too because before i knew it, it was over :( ... omg the bromance in THAT one haha... not as 'obvious' as SKKS's but definitely took center stage over any of the leading ladies.
@ twin
can you please finish MGiaG already please? it's up fully subbed on dramafever :) so get on that!!!
and no i didn't finish watching SKKS... it's only subbed up to ep 18... i watched ep 19 raw and read the live recap on thundie's prattle to supplement my complete lack of knowledge of the korean language. that process takes twice as long to watch one ep btw haha. so by then i was way too tired to do that with ep 20 ha. figure i'll just wait till next week and rewatch 19 and 20 together... Yummy in ep 19 is super epic.... he's such a rockstar.

@ twin
but i just don't want MGiaG to end.. it hurts when dramas end. BOO!!! plus i can't this weekend (i still have one more project and midterm next week i should be studying for). but i will.. SOON. promise :)
CSW was all sorts of freaken HOT, but he was a jerk at the beginning, so it took a while for me to warm up to him, but i still thought he was hot the whole time. lol.

dude, i was super sad when MGiaG ended too... but i really liked the ending a lot. and it makes me want to rewatch the series soon... cuz i finally finished SKKS this weekend and need something else.
i think i'm going to watch Antique Bakery and Frozen Flower and Strongest Chil Woo now actually.. i need my Yoo Ah In and Song Joong Ki fix... STAT!!

I totally do that too... I always regret it the next day when I have to get up for class, but somehow I don't learn my lesson.
I was kicking myself for not taking it slower after the last episode of City Hall too. I have never felt the thrill of wanting to know what happens next so much with any other drama.

i have seen episodes 19 and 20 of SKKS, but still waiting for the ones with sub. watching the no-sub eps reminded me of my visit to Seoul last winter where I had conversations with a lot of locals in Korean (asking for directions, ordering food, etc.) and was amazed at how I got what they were saying, although I didn't understand word by word. can't wait for the eng sub episodes!
anyway. SKKS took me away a bit from the rom-com story that I am writing, which is about a star football player and a starting out diva - both still in college and attending the same school - who are in a Romeo VS. Juliet kind of situation. (Their families want them together, they would turn violent at each other when left to themselves.) and then someone put a spell on them which caused them to switch bodies, which is a problem more than the given, because the Romeo is about to be drafted into the professional league and the Juliet had just signed for a record deal with her girl group.
I used to have Jang Geun-Suk as my character inspiration for the Romeo, but has now switched to Song Joong-Ki, because I loved the way he handled the Yeo-rim character. And for the Juliet, Shin Min-Ah (GF is a Gumiho) is the character inspiration. It helps to have these people in mind while writing, because it makes the process more fun. :)

SKK Scandal has ended. Waiting patiently (er, sorta) for the English subs. Am so gonna miss the Jalgeum Quartet. Especially Yeorim. He really stole my heart. (Well, Jae-Shin is time-sharing it with him, hehehe).
I gotta come out and say I didn't have high hopes for this drama at first. I'm very, very wary of saeguks. Not being Korean, I'm always worried that half of it's going to be over my head and spoil the fun. A lot of the stuff in SKK was a bit of a question mark for me (a lot of the political stuff, like the factions) but that didn't stop me from having a fantastic time. So thank you, drama, and thanks for all the recappers for filling in the blanks.
I think on another thread, someone said they finally realized that Micky Yuchun was cute. Me too! I've seen him on and off (don't really listen to Kpop) in other places, but he always had some weird asymmetrical haircut that I found unflattering. He's smokin' in this drama though, to the point where if I see him in JYJ promotional stuff, I just wanna yell, get this man in a hanbok, STAT!
And Jae-shin - love the hair. Love the bracelet. Love the brooding. Love it all.
And Yeorim - just LOVE. :D
Yoon-hee deserves a shout-out too, for not being a simpering milk-and-water miss and being able to quote Confucius around the guys. You go girl!
Gonna miss this drama so much. Sigh. Well, Mary's coming, right? Gotta catch my bus!

Micky seem to me always that ehh kind of haircut, not the kind that Kpop idol usually has. I look at him in modern style cloth over and over again, wonder why so many people find him cute. Now, I can't help to agree with them. Micky is hot in Hanbok.

I am constantly torn between my love for JaeShin and Yeorim.. whenever one is onscreen, i pledge my undying love for them... and then the other one comes on and i find myself doing the same thing. it's probably another reason why i ship them together.
I think what's so great about Yummy+Moony is that they are polar opposites of each other and yet are BFFs. Yummy is pale pale milky white with impeccable fashion, a cheerful playboy and has an aversion to physical exertion. Then we have Moony who is dark and broody with a lil bit of facial fuzz (<3!!), couldn't care less about his clothes and can fight off 20 men at once, but hiccups when ladies are around. The hiccups have to be one of the cutest character traits i've ever seen, btw.
And yes, Micky is hot in a hanbok.

@lovency52
they all look hot in a hanbok! :))
I prefer Micky's hair pulled back - after comparing his SKKS look to his DBSK/JYJ photos. his face needs more exposure.
Yoo Ah In... he looks refreshing with his hair pulled back as well (and in a white, clean hanbok), but he has more appeal with the grungy look.
and Joon-Ki... I wonder if he can sport the grungy look like Yoo Ah In's Jae-shin.
