me too :D
saw a preview for ep 19 and i'm sooooooooo excited!!
during the airing of SG it has been the only time i've been looking forward to mondays :)
LOL, guilty as well! i let myself watch the raws (if i don't catch the live stream) and THEN i head to dramabeans to actually understand it. LOL
i am devastated that it's ending this weekend. WHAT IS LIFE! O_O i DO NOT-- and i mean i REFUSE, man--i DO NOT want my spoiled spoiled lifestyle of m,t: dream high, w,th: my princess and s,su: Secret Garden to end!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I've been watching every episode twice, precisely because I can't resist watching the raws...I just watch them, understand the 30% or so that I can, and then re-watch with subs later. Pathetic, but unavoidable! :D
Same here...can't resists the raws...after it will be subbed, I would watch my fave scenes...like before, I lost count how many times I watch the sit up scene, the kissing scene...every scene that is cute...esp if Binnie is there..:))
What I love is how I no matter how i watched the raws of SG, then go to dramabeans to read the recap then watch it again with subs, I never get bored. haah I can watch it all over again and again. Aww SG was a good show, and I better get a happy ending, someone should slap hyun bins mom (that too is apart of the happy ending) and even though some people didn't see the reason for the souls swap, I think its purpose was to bring them closer together and let them understand life from each others perspective. This drama was purely about relationship and how it's complicated and bitter sweet. heheh BUT LOVE is powerful enough to change anything. Gosh this is what i get for being a devout watcher of fairly tales.
Waiting for the ending, but am also preparing for major withdrawals. I hadn't had it this bad in a looong time. I'm going to miss JoWon, RaIm, JoWonda, RaHim, Oska and Seul so much. Yes even Seul. I actually didn't find her to be too bad after all.
What do you think of that site and its fast subtitle releases? (for example, My Princess ep 4 English sub was release about 18 hours after its Korean airing).
And its unique fan translating & fan editing software?
I watched the first two episodes of My Princess with the DarkSmurf subs and then when WITHS2 subs were released I read through to compare them.
There is a lot of key dialog missing or mistranslated in the DarkSmurf subs compared to WITHS2. Although the general events of the drama are clear the more complex details are not very clear......
I feel like you miss the more subtle stuff with the machine translated subs, so if like me you need to know exactly what they said, it isn't enough.
Then again, if you're in the habit of watching it raw and watching it again with WITHS2 subs, then watching it with the Darksmurf subs is an improvement on raw!
i've been wondering - are the recappers, i mean - girlfriday, and kaedaejun, and javabeans, and thundie and softy - are they all korean americans? just curious. i know they don't disclose anything personal on their blogs..
There was a post that javabean talked about being Korean-American - well not exactly about her, but about the whole growing up with two cultures thing, so I've always thought jb and fri were Korean-American (accents and all), but hey, they could just as easily be Canadian. kaedaejun is either American or Canadian from the way her words are spelled (-ize instead of -ise, that kind of thing), but she also once said her Korean is limited or something like that.... I think kaedejun uses subtitles to do her recap, but that's always been a speculation on my part. Anyways, I can assure you, jb and fri know a lot about the Korean and American culture (or is it pop culture? XD) so we're in good hands. And I'm thankful all the recappers are kind enough to share with us.
P.S. I think thundie is out of this world. XD She has a blog too and her writing is hilariously (to me), I don't know, fancy? dramatic? She could be real Thunder for all we know.
hahaha yeah i read all of their recaps. man, i'm a total drama addict. they're so good at writing which makes reading their recaps interesting even before watching the episode itself. and i agree with you about thundie looool. used to visit her blog everytime during SKSS days. so hilarious. :)
There's no way to ask about those pictures without sounding like a total creeper, is there? ):
(I'm not a weirdo, I swear! I've just always been curious :O)
I think its kbs. mainly because of their reach through kbs world channel. the kbs drama awards 2010 were broadcast live on 31st dec. in over 70 countries.
The guy I'm in love with moved permanently back to Korea two weeks ago, so I'm having a rough time right now...crying a lot. Not sure what to do next, but I know I'll figure it out...
Thank God I have K-Dramas to keep my mind occupied at least part of the time!! ^o^
Am so happy now that I staggered my drama-watching so that I'm beginning My Princess just as Secret Garden is ending...maybe I won't feel bereft after SG as much as I usually do when a drama I like ends!!
My Hyun Bin fascination just continues to grow with every drama he's in...I'm afraid I might die from seeing him in a Marine uniform, but I guess there are worse ways to go, LOL!!
oh gosh, the guy i love is heading to the army after his drama and 2 movie releases, i totally get how you feel, i am DEVASTATED...... OH wait, you were talking about real life. T-T
all right, there's never really anything to say that'll make it better, i know. only time really helps and heals. but hey, your OT family is here! we got tissues, sparkly tracksuits, hyun bin, taecyon, song seung heon and booze! and <3 <3 <3 :) *huuugs*
Hahaha, thanks!! Actually as sad as I've been over the real-life man leaving, when I read about Hyun Bin going into the military I nearly had a panic attack!! Ok, not a panic attack, but...it was close.
Nothing like K-dramas to dose the pain...seriously. All that melodrama and wackiness helps, somehow!! :)
im rewatching World Within to fill in the binnie-less gap during the weekdays.... his character was more carefree there, right? we get way more disarming smiles, it's addicting. :) .....i can already tell, imma totally have Secret Garden on repeat fro 2 freakin years! ARGH!
but you're right! the kdrama craziness helps! i feel ya!
Definitely loved WW, not only because it's a good drama but because watching HB kiss SHK just makes me squeal every time! :)
I've forced my sister to start SG, and I'm already trying to decide who my next victim will be...showing other people SG gives me the excuse to watch it yet again!!
aw Portia *hugs* The Ot family is here for you. To show the extent of my support, I will go so far as to make this offer: You can spend two minutes alone with Siwon. It costs me a great deal to make this offer but after all you are f family. But, please be advised though, I will have Psychic Pigeons on standby in case you stray over the two minute margin . :P
You need to also set some ground rules, like keep your clothes on or you die. Keep his clothes on or you die. A hug is ok, but a kiss, you die. Something like that. =P
Wow...seriously? You're willing to give me alone time with The Adonis??? That's some serious OT family love, right there!! :D You can keep him for yourself, though...I like my men a little less Greek-god-like! :P
We undercover heroines of the world must stick together! :P
I think I came up with "The Adonis" while watching Oh! My Lady. He's just too perfect-looking to be human...but I wouldn't dare encroach on your hard-won territory by sullying his spotless self with my unworthy touch! Hahahaha!!!
All I've been thinking about the past week is
Secret Garden!
But then again i guess i could say that SG is all i've really been thinking about for the past month!
I really want to know the ending but at the same time I don't want it to end!
Hoping that writer-nim won't give us blatant fan service or illogical plot for the last 2 episodes!
Please give a good end, writer-nim!
I want to remember SG as a drama with a good ending!
I'm kind of at a loss for words if you were to ask me what i'd watch after sg... because i really don't know.
The past couple of episodes have been so emotionally draining. I think i may actually need a break from dramas for a while to nurse my withdrawal symptoms for SG!
Exactly the same problem I've had after SKKS. (and other dramas I liked before that.) I placed my hope on SG & MSOAN to help me survive the withdrawal symptoms, but only SG delivered. And now, SG is about to end, good thing that I find My Princess and Dream High enjoyable. It's just like rebounding from a break-up. ;) Gotta go thru the pain or find someone new. (shallow, isn't it?) :D
i'm at a point in my life where i really need to be occupied, i just can't have any free time, or imma go cray cray. @_@ so just like you, i'm REALLY REALLY happy that after skks, was SG and now there's DH and MP. ahluvvv kdramas. thanks for helping me keep busy (or run away. whatever! potaytoh potahtoh)
yeah, exactly. but then there are times when NOTHING good is on (i'm looking at you, playful kiss era), and i'm like, "you mean, i actually need to go get a life? oh wow, there are new buildings outside?!"
i feel the same, sometimes i wonder if i'm wasting my time going from drama to drama but as meaningless as some people see it, i feel i learn quite a bit more about life after getting hooked on kdrama these past 2 years.
I think there is something that is good for your brain to be exposed to a 2nd language while watching.
I do not speak Korean, so I feel like my brain is on all the time I watch. Picking out words and patterns. Determining if the subs have the best translation, or not, based on what K I do know.
The fact that we get the emotional punches thrown at the same time as the words helps with the learning, too.
That is how we learn our first langauge after all.
Not from books.
I do that too! I have learned enough Korean in the last couple of years that I can follow most of what they're saying, unless it's a drama with a lot of professional jargon, like a law or suspense drama. But I too feel like it's good for the brain, it makes you work a little bit while you're being entertained.
Plus kdrama has opened up a whole new culture to me that I've never had exposure to before, and that's good for the soul. I think dramas contribute to world peace. :)
about MP & DH, wouldn't that be great if these dramas don't disappoint? :) what's more, they don't go on air on the same days, so there's something to watch for four straight days.
Luckily for anyone who owns an ipod touch or iphone crunchyroll has an app with tons of dramas (and anime if you like that too) in great quality. They have an app for the droid now but it's new and only has a few shows as of now plus you have to have a membership to use it. *pouts*
The itunes app is free though!
i did that for Coffee Prince and BOF (i KNOOOW O_O) i literally called in sick, got into my favorite jammies, popped me some corn (or stocked up on booze coz we had a BOF drinking game during that period, do ya'll remember?) LOOOL!
glad that I don't have this hurdle, cuz my work time starts at noon. :) but still I often come to work lately with puffy eyes, fresh from watching k-dramas.
I'm lucky, Monday is a holiday in the states, so we don't have to go to work - well, lots of us don't have to. But I do remember calling in sick to marathon a drama. Or even watching until the dead of night just to go to work as a zombie. The devotion we all have to dramas. It's pretty incredible.
I have a flight to catch on Monday, but I am carefully planning my trip to the airport AFTER watching the finale of course! My flight is 18 hrs, no way I can wait that long. HAHA!
Ah, some "The Big Bang Theory" lovers in here. I love Sheldon. When I saw the Jdorama Kimi wa Petto, all I could think of was that if I ever get a 'pet' like the drama has, it would be a Sheldon. How glorious my life would be then, haha.
i'm really liking the new headers, especially the ones by Tae, that don't necessarily say *blogging my kdrama obssession*.... i love the one that says, "get your own damn fruit" and "now accepting compliments" LOl so hard!
on another note-- anyone know when exactly hyun bin is slated to go to the army? *must prepare self psychologically* LOL oppa, don't go!!!!!!! god this is like waiting for Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo leave all over again!!!!!!!!!! AND hyun bin's going into the marines!!! during the brink of not-so-peaceful times!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Happy Friday, all -
I have a sort of mechanical question. Why can't I see all the posts on any given thread? For example, the SG 18 thread says there are 363 comments but I can only see up to page 4 and 181 posts. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Agree, agree, agree about SG ending, HB singing and being crushed about HB going to the Marines. And now we know even his writing is cute. *sigh* he truly is perfect.
eeeek! totally forgot it was Friday until I logged on here and saw the open thread. and Monday is a holiday too, yay!
Happy Friday beautiful javabeans people, wheee!
I used to think Hand Towels were quotidian.
I’d wipe ‘em and leave ‘em all day.
They never had abs, eyelashes or pecs,
Then JavaBeans showed me the way.
Soon after I saw the photos she posted
I watched all 20! of his Summer Scent
As boring as it was (like watching beets roasted)
I liked what I saw - didn’t care what it meant.
I’ve donated my sight to Song Seung-heon
When he’s on screen my eyeballs are glued.
I don’t really care if I have the sound on
Cause he’s one mother sharkin’ hot dude!
Did anything happen after episode 10 in that drama?
I did FF through 18 and 19, but I read all the subtitles.
I couldn't imagine waiting all week for a drama to air and then watching OPSAU happen. I don't know how they kept their audience. The ratings were averaged at 10%.
What a lovely ode. I'm going to sing this accompanied by my guitar to the orphans soon as I get a chance, cross my heart. Thinking of giving it kind of a bluesy twangy feel.
Your comments made me think to watch SKKS again after Secret Garden if no drama will get me hook...:)) I am almost over with the Jae Shin virus but when I see something posted about him...virus comes back full force...:)
muchas gracias, sisters. :) it's a symptom of the JaeShin virus resurfacing on me. just the mere thought of him is enough to make me lose my mind. :(
@Ladymoonstone143: so sorry to cause your relapse. will keep this in mind the next time I get on my own relapse and have the urge to babble about it. :)
@viola: and I, in turn, salute Jomo as the master of double entendre. :) I think Mr. Hand Towel has been causing her to read things differently. ;) can't blame her. Mr. Hand Towel has been causing disarray to my neurotransmissions as well.
LOL how right you are. and yes yes i have seen the NG's on MNIKSS (all us diehards should have a secret handshake or something LOL) and i truly truly believe you are correct!!! jedi master kim sun-ah did well. lips open, and all *gasp* :D
yes yes, he did! He looked like he didn't know what hit him. I don't think that was ACTING. Remember back when HB was a shy kid who got embarrassed being interviewed? Ahhhhh, our HB has really grown up.
There is another one of the kiss from a different angle where you see that she bounces away like "great! done!"(must be the "one take!") and he stands there looking like a fish smacked him in the face and takes a couple of seconds to "come to". (giggles) I've been looking for it but no luck so far. I love them, too. Watching all these clips makes me think that MNIKSS still stands as # 1.
hmmmm, found another one that's longer but still not the right one. Gosh, I've only had to look at about two hundred clips of them kissing! Don't everyone feel sorry for me at once.
Judging by the post in here...I am not the only one who is planning to be glued to my laptop for the finale of Secret Garden.
I can't wait for it...soooooooo excited. And after the finale, I will be rewatching it again, this time, just for the fun of the switching, etc.
My Princess is pulling me in there but still not committed to it...probably 2 more episodes to make sure that the plot will not be going ridiculous esp about the inheritance, etc. but I admit, it is funny and light.

SSH being serious = wooden acting = limp, wet hand towel
plus his name sounds like song soo gun which means hand towel/handkerchief.
This is the most accurate answer, but by no means the funniest.
20.3.1.1 Tracy January 7th, 2011 at 3:53 am
I thought it was cos it was so hot while filming the cast and crew wiped their hands on him thinking he was a hand towel cos he was dressed all in white and looked like a hand towel.
I apologise for not knowing the original poster's name whol told the white suit story, but he/she had an alias to hide his/her amazing writing skills.
Guys, I'm really obsessed with My Princess's the evil girl's fish-net nightie....remember the question is how did she manage to get into those so quick? Were they hers or his?
Well, if you look at ep 4 carefully, the scene in the prof's office where they are surrounded by reporters....she's wearing a black slinky fish-netty thing under her coat....which means she wears it ALL THE TIME!!!!! It's hers; it's like a on demand thingy: anytime she feels like you-know-what, easy peasy, just strip off that coat and voila! No more closets!!!!
The Kidnappers from Mary Stayed Out All Night and I have established a trusted business relationship. ( only slightly marred by the fact that their secretary, Tae Sul, pawed Siwon's abs, when I hired them to kidnap him)
But, I believe their hearts were in the right place, so, on the last Open Thread I hired them for another job. This time to kidnap The Speedo of no other than Mr Hand Towel himself. I did this purely out of altruistic motives, I only thought of the joy this will afford all the females and maybe some males of Dramaland. I even offered to finance A Fellowship of The Speedo :P
They wrote this back. I am reposting this because how truly epic it is.
The Kidnappers
Madame,
It might be good news to you that you no longer have to put an effort to acquire the Speedo.
Mr. Hand Towel called us for a quick meeting this morning, for which, according to him, we need to discuss an important matter. The entire gang was wondering why the venue had to be his kitchen, and why he had nothing on except a towel wrapped around his waist. So here’s how the meeting transpired…
Our female staff, Tae Seul, dropped to the floor and wept upon sight of Mr. Hand Towel. We had to sedate her, because she kept crying, “Save me! Save me from myself! I don’t want to be demoted any further! I have bills to pay!” While she was high, she kept mumbling, “Towel… Siwon… towel… where’s the Speedo? towel… chocolate… abs… which one?… Siwon… towel… ”
“Speaking of the Speedo…” MHT began, as he checked the temperature of the oven before him, “I caught a rumor that you were being contracted to nick my precious.”
Precious, yes, he calls his Speedo that. Sometimes we confuse that he refers to his [tooooottttt!!!!].
“Sir, that…” we were about to reply. (Yes. We speak to him in unison.)
“… And I heard, it was Viola who offered you the job?” he cut us off and darted us a side-ward glare.
We immediately knelt before him and begged for his forgiveness. “We’re sorry Boss! We told her it can’t be done, but she insists! We couldn’t just brush her off because she’s a repeat and well-paying client.” we cried, to which he chuckled.
And then he gave off a sigh. “Viola…” he spoke, looking at empty space, “so you survived my spell.” At this point, we looked up and we swear, we saw his eyes glisten in a way that isn’t human.
“Boss, you know her?” we asked.
He didn’t answer. He just smiled and opened the oven door and out came his “precious” on a tray. (Turns out, his blow dryer broke down that’s why he was in the kitchen drying up his Speedo in the oven.)
“Get up! All of you!” he ordered us as he extracted the tray from the oven.
As we stood up, we saw that the Speedo was glowing red. A writing that went around the waist glared the words “One pair to rule them all… and in the darkness bind them.” The writings turned into unreadable characters before fading out.
MHT picked the Speedo off the tray like nothing. He turned to one of us and said, “Hold out your hands,” to which our brother complied, only to scream in fear when MHT placed the Speedo on his hands. “Don’t worry, it’s quite cool to the touch,” MHT assured him. And indeed, the Speedo didn’t hurt our brother.
“Take it to Viola,” he ordered us.
“But Boss!” we tried to argue. “This is your precious!”
“If that’s what she wants, then that’s what she gets.” He then sheepishly smiled before he turned away to leave.
We could swear, we heard him laughing out loud from the other room. It gave us the shivers.
The Speedo glistened as we placed it in a protective box.
So, Miss Viola, should you still be interested in having the Speedo, please let us know and we’ll arrange a meeting with you at the soonest possible time to hand it over. It’s quite a burden lugging it around as it goes heavier by the minute. Also, we’re already growing tired of keeping Tae Seul from snatching it away. Not to mention, dodging off constant attempts by mysterious hooded men to acquire the Speedo from us.
This was so hilarious I literally choked on my sandwich and my officemate had to save me. Whaaaa ha ha ha so embarassing, when they found out the cause they had this resigned look on their faces like "What did you expect?" Sorry GUYS! and a bunch of nice guys they are for accepting my drama addiction as part and parcel of who I am.
“ You offer The Speedo of Power to me freely. I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this."
* starts glowing* (please, please don’t mistake this for glittering )
"In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! Stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me, and despair!"
*stops glowing*
"I pass the test! I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Viola."
This was the strange premonition I had a few weeks ago. I was stroking a white Persian cat, ( It’s No Min Woo’s cat, Yoda. I “borrowed” her) and speaking to some

Hope everyone enjoys their Friday...
The guy I'm in love with moved permanently back to Korea two weeks ago, so I'm having a rough time right now...crying a lot. Not sure what to do next, but I know I'll figure it out...
Thank God I have K-Dramas to keep my mind occupied at least part of the time!! ^o^
Am so happy now that I staggered my drama-watching so that I'm beginning My Princess just as Secret Garden is ending...maybe I won't feel bereft after SG as much as I usually do when a drama I like ends!!
My Hyun Bin fascination just continues to grow with every drama he's in...I'm afraid I might die from seeing him in a Marine uniform, but I guess there are worse ways to go, LOL!!
Stay warm & safe on the weekend, everybody!

All I've been thinking about the past week is
Secret Garden!
But then again i guess i could say that SG is all i've really been thinking about for the past month!
I really want to know the ending but at the same time I don't want it to end!
Hoping that writer-nim won't give us blatant fan service or illogical plot for the last 2 episodes!
Please give a good end, writer-nim!
I want to remember SG as a drama with a good ending!
I'm kind of at a loss for words if you were to ask me what i'd watch after sg... because i really don't know.
The past couple of episodes have been so emotionally draining. I think i may actually need a break from dramas for a while to nurse my withdrawal symptoms for SG!
Argh, how will i cope?

Exactly the same problem I've had after SKKS. (and other dramas I liked before that.) I placed my hope on SG & MSOAN to help me survive the withdrawal symptoms, but only SG delivered. And now, SG is about to end, good thing that I find My Princess and Dream High enjoyable. It's just like rebounding from a break-up. ;) Gotta go thru the pain or find someone new.

jomo143
January 14, 2011 at 9:50 AM
My two cents = not wasted time.
I think there is something that is good for your brain to be exposed to a 2nd language while watching.
I do not speak Korean, so I feel like my brain is on all the time I watch. Picking out words and patterns. Determining if the subs have the best translation, or not, based on what K I do know.
The fact that we get the emotional punches thrown at the same time as the words helps with the learning, too.
That is how we learn our first langauge after all.
Not from books.
annie
January 14, 2011 at 1:52 PM
@ Jomo
I do that too! I have learned enough Korean in the last couple of years that I can follow most of what they're saying, unless it's a drama with a lot of professional jargon, like a law or suspense drama. But I too feel like it's good for the brain, it makes you work a little bit while you're being entertained.
Plus kdrama has opened up a whole new culture to me that I've never had exposure to before, and that's good for the soul. I think dramas contribute to world peace. :)

Then JavaBeans showed me the way.
Soon after I saw the photos she posted
I watched all 20! of his Summer Scent
As boring as it was (like watching beets roasted)
I liked what I saw - didn’t care what it meant.
I’ve donated my sight to Song Seung-heon
When he’s on screen my eyeballs are glued.
I don’t really care if I have the sound on
Cause he’s one mother sharkin’ hot dude!

here's another one that illustrates your point that she taught him everything he knows - and then he repeats it back to her LOL in slow motion.

There is another one of the kiss from a different angle where you see that she bounces away like "great! done!"(must be the "one take!") and he stands there looking like a fish smacked him in the face and takes a couple of seconds to "come to". (giggles) I've been looking for it but no luck so far. I love them, too. Watching all these clips makes me think that MNIKSS still stands as # 1.

hmmmm, found another one that's longer but still not the right one. Gosh, I've only had to look at about two hundred clips of them kissing! Don't everyone feel sorry for me at once.

Happy Friday to all...
Judging by the post in here...I am not the only one who is planning to be glued to my laptop for the finale of Secret Garden.
I can't wait for it...soooooooo excited. And after the finale, I will be rewatching it again, this time, just for the fun of the switching, etc.
My Princess is pulling me in there but still not committed to it...probably 2 more episodes to make sure that the plot will not be going ridiculous esp about the inheritance, etc. but I admit, it is funny and light.

This is a quote from Episode 2 recap thread:
12.2 kay January 6th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
SSH being serious = wooden acting = limp, wet hand towel
plus his name sounds like song soo gun which means hand towel/handkerchief.
This is the most accurate answer, but by no means the funniest.

I thought it was cos it was so hot while filming the cast and crew wiped their hands on him thinking he was a hand towel cos he was dressed all in white and looked like a hand towel.
I apologise for not knowing the original poster's name whol told the white suit story, but he/she had an alias to hide his/her amazing writing skills.

Guys, I'm really obsessed with My Princess's the evil girl's fish-net nightie....remember the question is how did she manage to get into those so quick? Were they hers or his?
Well, if you look at ep 4 carefully, the scene in the prof's office where they are surrounded by reporters....she's wearing a black slinky fish-netty thing under her coat....which means she wears it ALL THE TIME!!!!! It's hers; it's like a on demand thingy: anytime she feels like you-know-what, easy peasy, just strip off that coat and voila! No more closets!!!!

Happy Friday Everyone! :)
The Kidnappers from Mary Stayed Out All Night and I have established a trusted business relationship. ( only slightly marred by the fact that their secretary, Tae Sul, pawed Siwon's abs, when I hired them to kidnap him)
But, I believe their hearts were in the right place, so, on the last Open Thread I hired them for another job. This time to kidnap The Speedo of no other than Mr Hand Towel himself. I did this purely out of altruistic motives, I only thought of the joy this will afford all the females and maybe some males of Dramaland. I even offered to finance A Fellowship of The Speedo :P
They wrote this back. I am reposting this because how truly epic it is.
The Kidnappers
Madame,
It might be good news to you that you no longer have to put an effort to acquire the Speedo.
Mr. Hand Towel called us for a quick meeting this morning, for which, according to him, we need to discuss an important matter. The entire gang was wondering why the venue had to be his kitchen, and why he had nothing on except a towel wrapped around his waist. So here’s how the meeting transpired…
Our female staff, Tae Seul, dropped to the floor and wept upon sight of Mr. Hand Towel. We had to sedate her, because she kept crying, “Save me! Save me from myself! I don’t want to be demoted any further! I have bills to pay!” While she was high, she kept mumbling, “Towel… Siwon… towel… where’s the Speedo? towel… chocolate… abs… which one?… Siwon… towel… ”
“Speaking of the Speedo…” MHT began, as he checked the temperature of the oven before him, “I caught a rumor that you were being contracted to nick my precious.”
Precious, yes, he calls his Speedo that. Sometimes we confuse that he refers to his [tooooottttt!!!!].
“Sir, that…” we were about to reply. (Yes. We speak to him in unison.)
“… And I heard, it was Viola who offered you the job?” he cut us off and darted us a side-ward glare.
We immediately knelt before him and begged for his forgiveness. “We’re sorry Boss! We told her it can’t be done, but she insists! We couldn’t just brush her off because she’s a repeat and well-paying client.” we cried, to which he chuckled.
And then he gave off a sigh. “Viola…” he spoke, looking at empty space, “so you survived my spell.” At this point, we looked up and we swear, we saw his eyes glisten in a way that isn’t human.
“Boss, you know her?” we asked.
He didn’t answer. He just smiled and opened the oven door and out came his “precious” on a tray. (Turns out, his blow dryer broke down that’s why he was in the kitchen drying up his Speedo in the oven.)
“Get up! All of you!” he ordered us as he extracted the tray from the oven.
As we stood up, we saw that the Speedo was glowing red. A writing that went around the waist glared the words “One pair to rule them all… and in the darkness bind them.” The writings turned into unreadable characters before fading out.
MHT picked the Speedo off the tray like nothing. He turned to one of us and said, “Hold out your hands,” to which our brother complied, only to scream in fear when MHT placed the Speedo on his hands. “Don’t worry, it’s quite cool to the touch,” MHT assured him. And indeed, the Speedo didn’t hurt our brother.
“Take it to Viola,” he ordered us.
“But Boss!” we tried to argue. “This is your precious!”
“If that’s what she wants, then that’s what she gets.” He then sheepishly smiled before he turned away to leave.
We could swear, we heard him laughing out loud from the other room. It gave us the shivers.
The Speedo glistened as we placed it in a protective box.
So, Miss Viola, should you still be interested in having the Speedo, please let us know and we’ll arrange a meeting with you at the soonest possible time to hand it over. It’s quite a burden lugging it around as it goes heavier by the minute. Also, we’re already growing tired of keeping Tae Seul from snatching it away. Not to mention, dodging off constant attempts by mysterious hooded men to acquire the Speedo from us.
Please advise.

Oh.My.God. That was hilarious.
I have a question. Did you happen to mean:
We immediately knelt before him and begged for his "forgiveness."
Cause that's what I pictured.

This was so hilarious I literally choked on my sandwich and my officemate had to save me. Whaaaa ha ha ha so embarassing, when they found out the cause they had this resigned look on their faces like "What did you expect?" Sorry GUYS! and a bunch of nice guys they are for accepting my drama addiction as part and parcel of who I am.

“ You offer The Speedo of Power to me freely. I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this."
* starts glowing* (please, please don’t mistake this for glittering )
"In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! Stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me, and despair!"

"I pass the test! I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Viola."
This was the strange premonition I had a few weeks ago. I was stroking a white Persian cat, ( It’s No Min Woo’s cat, Yoda. I “borrowed” her) and speaking to some
