Happy Open Thread everyone!!!!

Sure did. Got to do some fun things, eat some food I couldn't even pronounce, and touch Alan Rickman!!!

Now I'm just settling down and writing a romance novella starring some of our regulars here in OTLand.

Finished all three "Hunger Games" books, "White Christmas", and "Dream of 400 Years".

All caught up on PdPd, CoW, and OB.

Downloaded Sun/Moon/Touchy/Feely for my future viewing pleasure.

How have you been?

Sorry JoAnne, missed that one - I guess I wanted to savor the moment.

Still working on some of the outline, as I usually do my research and then start writing the story. This one sprang, Athena-like, from OT # 223, so it's not as put together as I like. It's been a lot of fun so far, especially the research.

Yep. The week was stressful but ended happily.

I passed an important exam (oral interview) at uni and, more importantly even, had the happy happy news yesterday that an oppa of mine who works for the UN in Yemen and was kidnapped two weeks ago, was released unharmed. That sort of thing always puts everything into perspective. :-)

This is why I'm SOOOO glad I'm OCD when it comes to my dramas. I download and then copy to an external hard drive. I usually dl both SD and HD versions when available, because I'm an HD ho but some of the people I share dramas with have older PCs or laptops that won't handle HD videos. Once I've watched a drama, I burn them to dvd. I even make labels for them :)

I also hard-sub dramas for my mother to watch. We have a blu-ray player that plays most video formats, including xvid avi and mkv, and it will also show srt sub files - but they are way to tiny for my mother to see, so I hardsub them with larger fonts. The hardsubs also get burned to dvd and fancied up with a pretty label :)

I don't mind using torrents, but MyAsianCinema and AM-Addiction often had versions I couldn't find elsewhere. Not to mention that MAC had tons of older and more obscure stuff that there were no torrents for. If necessary, I'll learn how to use clubbox, or any other method folks want to use to share dramas.

What I'm curious about right now is the Korean channels package that can be subscribed to through Dish or other satellite services. I'm not sure what channels are available. But it could become an alternative to acquiring some dramas, even if they air later than they do in Korea. Anyone here subscribe to these channels and can tell me more about them?

Stacy, good to see I'm not the only 'hoarder' here... I've been torrenting for ages and have THREE 500 GB hard drives filled with dramas and movies and specials and OSTs and... well, you name it, I've probably got it going back to around 2004. I'm hoping that once the dust settles on this whole situation that I'll be able to give back to the community that has fueled my dorama addictions for so many years.

Still, it was a dark day in history. Our grandchildren will be asking us, "Where were you when Megaupload was closed down?" And I will probably answer, "Huddled in a corner, softly weeping..."

*Chicago ex-pat waves at the Illinois gal* I read on their FAQ that certain streams were not available in all areas at present, but that everything will officially go live everywhere as of 1 February. And every now and again, I do see 3-4 minute snippets from the cable channels... but then they fuzz out to the "coming soon" screen.

So I just sit there at my desk and keep refreshing the page over and over and over... kinda like I'm doing in the OT today... :)

Wild Romance:

So, we finally get to see Kang Jong Hee, the ex-girlfriend Mu-yeol has been pining for, and I disappointed. Not by the acting or actress because I don't care so much about that right now - by the way, I would not have known this was an SNSD member until I went on youtube and there was a spazz-fest going on by her fans. I was building up this image in my head that it would a very regal woman who pretty much commands attention. She would be mature and at the same time sassy and full of personality. I was looking forward to a Kang Jong-hee that would make me jealous. And than we got a character who was childish at best, and all I could think was: Eun-jae, she's not worth getting jealous over. I feel Eun-jae should be like Jane Eyre who was never jealous of Blanche Ingram because, well, beautiful on the outside, but not much there on the inside. And Eun-jae straightened her hair. Sad day. But at least they made a believable enough reason why she changed it. I'm not a fan of the change, and I especially hate that Mu-yeol lost his 'stache. I actually found him more attractive with it than without. And Dad looked waaaaay better with the beard too. Sigh. Changes all around.

Fermentation Family:

I can't wait to watch this week's episodes. GAH! They kissed! The show is moving along quite nicely and I'm loving it. But... they KISSED! And it was one awesome kiss. <3 <3 <3

You know it was pretty interesting that they made Jessica/Kang Jong-hee have bipolar disorder. I'm not sure if that's supposed to make people feel sorry for her, or scared of her. However, they had to figure out some reason that she broke up with Mu-yeol without making him hate her too much. Blame it on her condition, right?

As for the changes in hair (facial and head), they kind of all implied that the fact they were changing their styles is because it was Christmas, and if you start something on Christmas it will be successful. In this case Mu-Yeol wants to get a new start with baseball, and also with Jong-hee. Eun-jae's father wants a new start with this woman he's seeing (I don't know if it's her mom or not), and Eun-jae herself said to Mu-yeol that the reason she wore lipstick is because it was Christmas (when she went to his house to eat dinner -- I know her hairstyle change was before that part).

I'm expecting her to separate from Mu-yeol because there is no way she can work for him without difficulty. She would be miserable. I know what you mean about jealousy on her part, but even she had to admit to Mu-yeol that Jong-hee was pretty/nice/had a good style/etc.
I'm not sure if she is jealous of Jong-hee (and her pretty look, style, personality) per se, but rather the fact that Mu-yeol shows attention to her -- the kind of attention that Eun-jae wants from him. I am eager to see what Mu-yeol thinks about Eun-jae's confession, though. I'm eager to know how that will affect him, especially since Jong-hee is in the show for the rest of the episodes.

I agree with you about Jong-hee -- I thought they would pick someone more like Soo-young's age, but they picked Jessica, who in reality is a little more than 10 years younger than LDW, hence making her look more like a teenager compared to him. Seeing how Mu-yeol acts around Jong-hee, though, you can see he's definitely re-living his college time feelings for her.

Everyone is saying they changed for Christmas, but we all know they changed because of a crush. And I was wondering if that was Eun-jae's mom that the Dad was meeting. It would be sad if it is.

I think you're right that Eun-jae is jealous that Muyeol gives Jonghee so much attention, but my bet is also that Eun-jae wishes she were more like Jonghee and less like, well, Eun-jae. Which is sad, since I may find Eun-jae petty and childish, but she definitely skews more into the mature territory and I like her for it. Ack. The only thing I'm happy about Jonghee being as childish as she is is that we're seeing what Muyeol fell in love with in college - a childish girl - and we can only hope he moves on from this crush soon. I too can't wait until we find out what Muyeol will do with the confession.

January 27, 2012 at 7:33 AM

You're right about the Christmas/crush thing. Eun-jae is not the only one who wants to change their appearance for someone they like. Even though we're disappointed that Eun-jae wants to change her looks to attract Mu-yeol, are we as disappointed that Mu-yeol and her dad want to change their respective looks for their crushes? It doesn't seem like it. When they do it, it's more disarming, but almost cute/sweet.

Re: Eun-jae wanting to be more like Jong-hee:

I think Mu-yeol is partly to blame for that because he keeps saying that she isn't a woman. He only said she was a woman that time in the gym because he wanted an answer to his question and she was like, how can you ask me that. You don't even think I'm a woman." (Or something to that effect) Also, he laughed at her when she told him the story about how her first boyfriend dumped her because she showed her strength in beating up those dudes that tried to rob him. Mu-yeol said guys would get embarrassed because of it, which is what happened with her ex. If she ever wanted to attract Mu-yeol, he's sending off the signal that she should be "less Eun-jae" and more "woman", which, I also think, is a little sad. I hope, that as time passes, he will come to like her more for who she really is, and not because she's trying to be more girly. I wonder, though, if not her looks, or her physical strength, what would be the thing that gets Mu-yeol to see her in a different light? Hmm...

Actually, I'm sad that dad and Muyeol lost facial hair. But because I'm in this for Eunjae, I'm more invested in everything she does and what happens to her. Yes, Muyeol is to blame for some of Eunjae's current insecurities right now. I want Eunjae to be the kind of person who's confident in who she is, but I understand and find it realistic when the first crush she's had in a while finds her more of a guy than a woman. I also hope that when Muyeol likes Eunjae in return, he'll make up for all those mean comments he made about her being more of a dude than a dudette. I want Eunjae to get payback Kdramaverse. Payback. Heh.

I really hope they don't go full Cinderella with Eunjae. If he finally starts seeing her as a woman after she changes appearance, then I'll give up on the thin strings of hope I have for his character.
All the sympathy gazes when she was weepy-weepy-dependence ticked me off. If it's a "prince saves poor girl" kind of drama, it doesn't bother me as much, but I think it betrays what this drama is about.

And there's been a shameful lack of Director Kim this week.

January 27, 2012 at 2:43 PM

See and I don't even think she is gorgeous. But maybe it is because I just don't connect with that singer/actress (nor did I like her in Oh My Lady either). She looks so petulant. I wished they did not change Eun-Jae. Isn't true love supposed to overlook all those flaws? When you have to change to make the person fall in love with you ... it doesn't count does it?

I know! I was partial to the moustache and the hair as well!

I mean, I totally DON'T like moustaches, and I would never ever ever want hair like Eun-jae's, but having that moustache (MY) and that hair (EJ) just totally suited their characters. Because they are quirky individuals with particular kind of personalities that don't suit everyone and don't quite fit the norm (and don't bother to either). But they were so totally awesome in their own way, moustache, wacky hair and all!

I love how Dong-soo made Reporter Go apologize to Muyeol and Mu-yeol thank Reporter Go. It was so funny watching these two enemies have to listen to their hyung. Hahaha. Birth of a grudging alliance perhaps?

As for Jong-hee, maybe in a different actresses hands I might have liked her just a smidgen - because that confrontation shows she has ovaries of steal, and it's something I like in characters.... But I think the character itself is the annoyance, no matter the hands it is put in to portray it. I hope we get to see a side of her that has her live up to the expectations I held concerning the woman Muyeol once loved. Because if he liked her just for her ageyo and purty face.... Than that just doesn't sit well with me and makes for a very boring love rival.

I kind of get where they were trying to go with her. Maybe a kind of flighty, happy go lucky little pixie (early Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts) that you can't help but to love, but it didn't really work for me.

With respect to FF, there is an intensity when he looks at her that sends shivers up my spine. Heard his wife (actual) is expecting twins soon, so maybe that is what is reflected in his acting.

And it is the same way with the lead for Padam Padam.

I just love how these two actors look at their OTP women. Very jealous.

Two things. The MU boss obviously had criminal activities and earned a lot of " undue " money from both sides ( clients and producers / authors ). On the other hand, some people ( not me, i find insane to save sensitive files on a foreign server without any guaranties. Here is the proof that i was right... ) had personal files and PAID to use the services. There must be a clever way to calculate and negotiate a payback to rights owners without screwing everything up. Plus they should have informed users of the site before shutting it down so they could recover their files. As people say, Nature abhors a vacuum and i'm sure replacement is already effective. Those kind of spectacular measures won't stop piracy and won't certainly not solve the big problem.

Good morning DBers! Happy Friday!

Mom in law is staying with us for a week, because my SIL has a film in a film festival this week. The trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2PFbMpAWMM

She's won several audience favorite awards, and finally has a distributor. It will go direct to DVD and be available in Christian bookstores, WalMart and assorted other places. She made it on a shoestring, but that shoestring was her entire retirement fund, so she's relieved that she finally sold it. I'm proud of her, but anything she does, she does big, so I'm not surprised. This was her first (and she says LAST) moviemaking experience. Her son is a talented cinematographer, so she got some labor for close to free.

In dramaland, I finished Return of Iljimae this week. I really enjoyed it. I like historical/fusion, and although it was a dramatic storyline, there were plenty of fun characters to give it a little comic relief. Hubby and I started it on the flight home at Christmas and while he didn't watch the entire thing with me, he'd get updates and probably watched about half of it with me. I'll get him hooked someday... ;0) PP and FF are AWESOME and I've kicked ATK to the curb until the last episode and hope that it can redeem itself then.

Apparently, one. So glad she's in that family! They deserve blessings :)

I have a friend who made it to the final five Doritos commercials for the Super Bowl. He's already scored skybox tix and a chunk of money. If his CF is voted one of the final two, and if it makes it into the top best Superbowl commercials, he and his brother will earn a nice chunk of change, and hopefully start their next indie film (their 3rd).

It's cool to be surrounded by creative types! That way you can enjoy the process without being in the drama tornado!

So, this morning, after The Kid's early morning religion class, we went to take her friend home and the front door was locked (it was 7 am) and we could not wake anyone up. So....we left messages on cellphones/housephones and I took the girls to breakfast. Had a blast, made me wanna be 15 again. Ok wait, not 15...maybe 17, lol.

My daughter tried the hard sell on K-drama, but apparently this girl has Korean neighbors who yell alot (really?? would they DO that) so she's not convinced yet, lol.

January 27, 2012 at 2:00 PM

Just mostly hanging around....avoiding housework, doing jigsaw puzzles with mom and going to assorted Dr's appts. So far, I've avoided doing too much cooking, the sisterwives are coming over for a potluck tonight, so I only have to make one thing.

Yesterday at the cardiologist (he has to clear me for surgery) he told us that he wants to do a "stress test" next week. Hubby said, "She's already pretty stressed. Just give her the bill and if that doesn't do her in, it's all good!".

Unfortunately, my Indian doctor has no detectable sense of humor. He just looked at us like we were nuts. But, we laughed all the way home.

January 29, 2012 at 7:03 AM

So obsessed with MoonSun that I used to watch it raw. Now I watch it close captioned on iOnAirTv and stream it live as it is airing in Korea. Love that show and wish I can fast forward to Wednesday already. As today is Sunday, I keep telling myself, only 3 more days to go. It helped that I also watch Ojakkyo Brothers (so I have something to follow Saturday and Sunday). Not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing, but the subs on 7 of the 8 shows that I am following came out within 1-3 days of airing so I don't have much to look at this weekend. The only exception was the Color of Woman but I decided not to watch the raw as I didn't like what they are doing to the OTP and only follow the recaps.

Happy OT!

Pouring rain here, and very dark. But OT will cheer me up!

Not really marathoning anything right now...casually watching My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and really enjoying it, though. Lee Seung Gi and Shin Min Ah just have such sweet, open faces and enjoyable personalities that it fits perfectly with the (so far) light romantic comedy. And Noh Min Woooooooooooooooooooooooo...wow, what a pretty face!

I watched Ep 11 of Bachelor Veggies last night and without spoiling anything for those of you haven't seen it yet, I'll just say that when Wookie leans in for the kiss in the billiard hall my heart actually raced. They have good chemistry - and Ice Cream is my favorite favorite favorite girl now, having seen her in 3 things and enjoyed her performance in all of them. I don't know if she's a dramatic actress or not but she certainly has the ability to show a range of emotions in a comedic setting.

Am current on What's Up (through Ep 16) and man, there's just not enough good things to say about this drama. It's the only one I've watched so far that hasn't ever disappointed me in any way. (fingers crossed)

It's a pity that I'm back in school, otherwise I would have checked it out.

Happy Friday everyone

I haven't been watching k-dramas recently but I have been reading up on the Game of Throne series. I have read till book 4 the feast of crows which was not as good as the first three. I haven't read the dance of dragons yet but I read the reviews which mainly said it was a disappointing book to wasit 5 years for. My question is it worth it and do you know when the next book will be out? I really hope its faster than 5 years.

Be careful where you take ur car to and take pics. I took my car to Maaco for some bodywork and paint job but they ended up wrecking my bumper and blaming me for it. Talking to them was like talking to a wall. Plus they have poor customer service.

My birthday just passed but I cudnt celebrate it as I had to prepare my apartment for terminix to come and exterminate bedbugs. And they only found 3! Bedbugs r the worst ever!!!!!!!! Sneaky bastards!!!!!!! So now am going to avoid malls and movie theatres to avoid picking them up.

Hope you guys had a better January than me. I love the new mobile theme although I wish they left the handy recaps tab on.

Sethe -

You didn't mention if it usually controlled by medication, but I'm going to go on the assumption that it is with the exception of an occasional grand mal. Also, I don't know what kind of work you do, so excuse me for assumptions.

-----
First of all, from a medical point of view:

One of the problems with significant seizure activity is the inability for a person to articulate what is going on.

It is important that medical professionals and emergency care providers are aware of any pre-existing medical conditions (that goes for anyone that has anything, really), including medications, allergies, and the like.

In the states, we have medical bracelets that identify certain conditions such as diabetes, seizure activity, and medical implants.

It's something we look for in a patient who is unable to supply any information. We also look inside wallets, purses, or other personal items for additional medical information.

-----
From an employment point of view:

I'm going to have JoAnne be on point for that one. Depending on the country, there should be laws protecting employees from discrimination based on medical conditions, pre-existing or otherwise.

-----
From a personal point of view:

Your loved ones, significant others, and close friends should be made aware so they can support you from the aura all the way to the post-ictal state (if it happens again). This is even more important if the activity hasn't been sucessfully controlled.

-----
Your final question is self-evident I think. "...that'll likely be coming..."

**YOU** are the most important factor in this situation, and anything and everything needed to protect **YOU** needs to looked at, seriously.

=====
(1) I would highly recommend you write down a brief medical history, meds, and allergies, and keep it with your person at all times. If you have an empty drug bottle, roll it up and store it in there with "Medical Info" written on the outside with a permanent marker as a convenient "File Of Life".

Also include anyone you'd want contacted, and any special accomodations (like for religious purposes).

Basically anything that would allow a person like me to swiftly start treatment even before reaching the hospital.

(2) If not your entire staff or coworkers, at least your boss ought to be made aware, in order to have some idea of what to do to physically protect you in the event of episode.

======
I know it's a scary business being diagnosed with something like this, but those that love you will be with you know matter what. (And if they make you mad, just smack them on the side of the head and claim you had a several-second episode.)

Stay strong.

Ah - then apart from her personal safety and health I assume a big worry would be scaring the kids if it's a violent seizure? If I remember correctly they're youngish?

Oh, Sethe, what a tough spot to be in! Do you want to try to explain it to your class in case something happens? Is that what you are worried about?

Shuk had really good advice about what to do to protect yourself medically but I don't know what employment law is like in Korea. Before you talk to your employers, perhaps you could get some background on the law from the consulate?

January 28, 2012 at 1:41 PM

You guys are great -- thanks! You all had excellent advice, especially about keeping some medical info with me all the time. I've thought about doing that, but for whatever reason, I've never actually followed through.

Yeah, I teach school in Seoul (hi, Shel!). And yeah, I'm afraid if I mention this to any of the boss-types, they'll decide it's not worth the risk to have me around the kids.

I have to mention, though, that at the teaching job I had before this one, I did have a seizure in class one day, and the kids, my co-workers, and the employer ended up being fine with it, so maybe I don't give people enough credit.

January 27, 2012 at 1:10 PM

Hello Everyone! *HUGS to all!*

Happy Friday. It's very cloudy/overcast. It was snowing but it's making mush since the temperature is above freezing, just slightly which makes for lots of traffic accidents. We passed one on the way to school.

I'm planning on doing this "Header" if you will because I have various topics I would like to address and it makes it easier for me to "package" the responses based upon sub-comment.

January 27, 2012 at 9:40 AM

Good noon-time, M! :)

Padam Padam: Ji-na's father? Still hate him.
Wild Romance: Adore it!
BVS: The mother is getting crazier by the episode. Plus, I'm feeling some Noble Idiot rumblings coming on from Ice Cream Girl. Uh-oh.
ATK: We're so far beyond crazy at this point that it can't even be called 'crazy' anymore. Need a new word here.
Vineyard Man: Isn't this a murder mystery? I'm confused.
Glowing She: I've watched the first 2 eps (subbed) and I'm liking it. I admit I have a bias for SS501 members - KHJ is doing a surprisingly good job. I think that scene was censured probably 'cause of that shot where she's undoing his pants. I know it caught MY attention.
TCoUC: Liked your comment. Not that it will make a dent in the fangirl mindset, tho.

Wait, maybe the ex but not exactly ex of the entitled Vineyard Man could cook something nasty for Yoon Eun Hye's character. Stay tuned.

STUPIDifying. That's a perfect word for ATK. That's how I feel wasting 44 hours of my life that I won't get back watching that. Certainly STUPIDified me. I watched the last ten minutes of ep 46 (which isn't subbed yet). STILL no progress on the WooBin JooYoung front. So I"m gonna skip those two eps, and the next two and wait for #50. Then I"m gonna read the comments on the epdrama site as soon as it's posted raw and if everyone is not happy, I'm not gonna bother with that one either. Totally disgusted with the whole thing.

I know, I should stop holding back and say what I really feel, lol.

What's funny is that I'm really known for being pretty even tempered (other than my daughter....yeesh. I had a good friend/brother die when I was pregnant with her and I SWEAR he was up there, coaching on how to drive me nuts before she was born. He's probably looking down and having a great laugh, but if I run into him in the afterlife, he's in trouble, lol).

BUT when I spent perfectly good drama-time that I could have been spending on a GOOD show, it irritates me. I'm mostly mad at myself for getting sucked in this bad, though.

BVS; Abit too confident maybe? seriously did he just bring a girl who he thinks is not related to his past at all to the church and confess his feelings for his childhood love? sure it's cute because we know that Ga On is really in fact Jin Shim. BUT he doesn't. imagine if this really was some random girl that had no relation to his life whatsoever. awkward.

I thought it was unusual, but he's an really honest person and I think in his mind, he was sharing a very important part of his life with her. In many ways he is the man he is because of Jin Shim, and he wants this new person he loves to know that.

What I found heartbreaking is that she didn't take that opportunity to tell him the truth...because really, when he finds out and thinks back over that conversation? That's gonna be bad. I understand why she thinks she can't tell, but still my heart really sank.

True, it's very like him to do something like that.
I'm also dreading the moment when he finds out who she really is, but I doubt he'll take it badly being the person he is, and his love for Jin Shim seems to be over everything else in his life.
I don't actually understand why she can't tell him, i mean she's a grown woman now and clearly she's proven that she can survive without help from her parents wealth.

I don't think the money enters into it at all for her. She loves her mother, despite seeing her clearly, and doesn't want to cause her problems.

But she adores her father. She wants to make him proud more than anything in the world. She is so grateful for his love and so guilty over the fact that she doesn't 'deserve' it since she isn't Ga On that she goes to these extreme lengths of working at the auction market, etc, to be more deserving of his love and pride.

January 30, 2012 at 12:38 PM

Padam Padam episode 15: one of my favorite episodes of a drama ever. It was just that awesome.

(SPOILERS) So I know theoretically that the on-again/ off-again cancer issue is a little wonky, and yet the emotions that came from it from Kang Chil's mom, Im Jung, Ji Na, and especially Kook Soo were just so damned moving that I honestly don't care. I'll admit it, I cried a little as I watched Kook Soo's pleading at Kang Chil's bedside. And again, the first fifteen minutes of this episode were gripping. The miracle being Kang Chil's self-sacrifice in order to save Ji Na's dad was perfectly painful yet inspiring to see, and the visuals complemented it perfectly. The time-travel sequences were just so seamlessly edited.

Somehow, I reaaaaaaaaally thought we would get away with Kang Chil not dying. These last few episodes are going to kill me with suspense and then crush my dead body with sadness.

Yay! I do love a good cry. But oh, how I wish they would all live happily ever after. And really, at this point, I even feel sympathy for Ji Na's dad. The way that he responded to Ji Na's questions and declaration in the police station? The expressions on his face?

I wept. I have seen that mix of recognition and sadness, regret, and resignation on my own father's face. That actor could not have done a better job in that scene. It was Academy Award-worthy.

Agreeing with you, JoAnne. I'm not seeing any way for a happy ending. A satisfying ending? Maybe.

I think JiNa's father is going to assist with a positve outcome to Kang's declaration of innocence, but one tiny moment of regret / mercy at the end does not ever make up for a lifetime of ugliness, and I want karma to smack his butt.

Praying for a good ending!

I agree, Shuk, I think her dad is going to do the right thing in the end.

My friend, whose father worked in Asia most of her growing up years, LOVES SIngapore. That's her hands-down favorite Asian city. She loves shopping there, loves the food, etc. So, if you get out that way, you should try and find a way to include it.

I haven't been anywhere in Asia yet. I'm anxious to go all kinds of places, but I promised hubby we could go to Italy first....he lived there back in the 70s and hasn't been back. His brother lived there at the same time, so we're sort of planning a trip back with brother and my son to celebrate my son's graduation from law school in a couple of years.

You know, it doesn't seem fair. Most of us, when young, don't have the resources to travel very much. A few get lucky....my sister got a really good job right out of college and made travel a priority, knowing that if/when she got married and had a family that it would be harder. I made one trip to Europe, but really didn't have the funds to do much overseas traveling.

Then, when you get my age, you have so many more responsibilities, obligations, aches and pains, so that even when you do have the cash, you just can't do it.

I say, if you can find a way to do it when you're young and single, see as much of the world as you can get to. I really regret not finding a way to do that.

Six days of that, and now it's back into preparation for yet another trial that will start up on 25 February. Lather, rinse, repeat...

In between that and getting the BVS recaps up-to-date (Changwook-ssi, I'm sooo jealous of your guyliner!!), I'm one tired little ahjumma. I need to hop on the phone for a conference call, but will check in later today. Everyone have a nice morning!!

Apparently some netizen/anti-fan backlash stating she caused the suicide of a good friend finally sent her over the edge.

When I watched "The Greatest Love", I realized that the Hong Sister actually did a pretty accurate, although toned-down, portrayal of how Hallyu stars are treated in their own country.

I've been sick most of the week, but I'm headed back to work today.

I've been loving Wild Romance this week especially as I recap it. That confession was brilliant. I'm really curious what other people think about it. I tend to share a lot of my own opinion, but finding others' opinions is harder.

Last weekend I had a Brain marathon and I'll be writing up some short little recaps over the next month. Maybe...It's harder recapping something that has already aired.

I really missed Skip-Beat! this week.

Anyone else feeling a little annoyed with Wild Romance? Out of all the plot lines, I care about the relationship the least- that girl will NOT STOP MUMBLING. Plus, I'm pissed that she never once acted professional, that part when she thought the guy was cheating with his best friend's wife? That was sooooo painful to watch. NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, LADY.

I kind of wish they would switch the focus to the landlady and the uptight business guy.

Hey....Sethe! How's our man doing this week? I haven't been keeping up with the news....entertaining Grandma so I've not gotten in much computer time.

Ricky-Oppa???? Where are you??? Maybe he's on his way back to school or wil show up later.

Raine! How's the music biz? It's slow here, but I'm enjoying the break and just playing for church. Which isn't a real gig, as it's a freebie.

Cherkell! How's SV? Hubby is working from home these days, have to say we don't miss the commute. Especially when the weather sucks. Downside is that we can see the Bay from the great room and it makes it hard to not run down and sit on the beach.

Leaf...you might have to fight TammieR for Bummie, cuz she's reserved him for her daughter. (It makes her feel better about her "inappropriate crush", lol)

Mystisith: I bow to you dramawatching prowess. I don't have enough hours in a day. How do you do that?

Cynthia...lucky you to be Ricky's assistant in Shukmeister's story. :0)

MJP??? Are you there???

I'm sure I forgot someone...but hey to everyone else. ;0)

OK, I have a question. I've only been watching PP, FF and ATK due to time constraints. Oh, and Return of Iljimae, which I just finished. Now that Iljimae is done, and I've kicked ATK to the curb because I was DISGUSTED (I'll go back and watch ep 50 when it's all over.....maybe)....I wanna watch something else. But, I don't have time for major time suckage. So....these are the shows I've been downloading and not watching. What I want is opinions as to which one or two I should absolutely be watching NOW.

What's Up?

Shut Up (which I know hasn't started, but is starting soon and maybe I should leave a slot for it?)

Sun/Moon/FunBuns (as someone said last week)

Wild Romance

Salaryman

Bachelor Veggie Store

Is anyone watching all of these, or most of these, or a few of these and if you had to limit yourself to only two, which two would you pick???

January 27, 2012 at 3:55 PM

Shel! *waves* Once I finally got back to the Valley of Heart's Delight, it's been groovy! I'm soooo glad the monsoons have ceased for a bit -- isn't it such a beautiful day today? I keep telling myself this weather is why we pay such a high premium for living in California. :)

Oh honey, you KNOW what drama I would tell you to pick up out of your list... but I'm a bit (okay, a LOT) biased towards it right now. All I do these days is eat, sleep, breathe and daydream about Our Hottie Veggie Boys. I haven't picked up any other watching, outside of the odd episode of "Vampire Idol" that runs at 9:30 PM here. But because it's wiping the floor in the Rating Department, I am leaning toward starting Sun/Moon/Funbuns soon, just to stare at The Other Pretty that is Kim Soo Hyun. Mmmmm... yup, I'm shallow. What of it? ;)

BTW, how are you feeling? Last I remember, you were a bit under the weather (no pun intended)...

I'm partial to Baroque music myself, which is a bit amusing in that my fave classical pieces are "Air for G strings" and "Claire de Lune".

Happy Friday fellow OTers!

Why is OT so addictive and interesting? My once piping-hot egg and cheese sandwich now has been sitting there for 45 minutes untouched.

I sure MIPPA doesn't mean 'The Motor Industry Public Affairs Association'....
And I'm also pretty sure ACTA isn't 'Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement' (although given all the laws trying to get though recently maybe?)
And is DL 'Deputy Lieutenant'? I think not....

Which can only mean one thing.... Google has failed for the first time in my life and therefore we should boycott it and create our own more K drama friendly version :D

"MIPAA" - one of the music industry conglomerates trying to curb p2p sharing.
"ACTA" is another attempt to close down the internet like they did with MU.

Since so much of the internet is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it's amazing that we can find anything we are looking for.

Especially in KDramaland, where the same title can have multiple interpretations that aren't even close from a word-search point of view (i.e. Shining Inheritance / Brilliant Legacy).

Happy friday everyone!

A question to Moon/Sun followers: Please, explain me how is princess Minhwa responsible for what is happening to Wol and King...because that is what I read on some blogs. I dont get it.

Also...Cant wait for Dream High 2! I hope it will be good.
I got interested to see DH2 because of the cast, but I felt it is necessary to watch DH1 first...so I marathoned it last week and dowloaded it (just in time)...cant believe I missed this great drama when it aired...

January 27, 2012 at 2:02 PM

JoAnne and Hillary thank you...I didnt notice when Minhwa learned about what happened. ...I know now.

When her husband finds out, it is going to be hard for him to stay by her side, because YW was/is his beloved sister.

That is what I think as well. Because while she was not responsible for it directly, she was an accomplice to his sister's death. If it were me, I don't think I would be able to forgive. I am hoping that Electric Ground book recaps can get ahead of the story to provide background (even if they change it in the drama).

I LOVE when someone goes against type and knocks it out of the part - an example here would be John Travolta, who was the goofy, hot, dumb guy in EVERYTHING...and then plays a KICKASS bad guy in White Arrow, or Straight Arrow, or whatever that movie was he did with Christian Slater about the nukes.

Since they're made with sugar, they are relatively sweet anyway, but I do like all of them! Durian excepted.

Nope, Meaghan is a complete fabrication. Even the name I randomly pulled out. In fact, I was thinking about wordsmithing to a softer sound ending in a vowel - Angela? Christina? Regina? That implies a certain helplessness...

As for me...

I'm shorter, my original haircolor was dark auburn but I started turning grey in my teens, blue-grey eyes, long fingernails with one extra long pinkie nail (no reason, just to be different, but I tell people it's my cocaine spoon). My nail colors are exclusively black, most shades of dark purple (I have about 20 or so), and silver crackle when I can get away with it.

Glad to know that you like durians too. I can eat a large one all by myself. And yeah, it is a bit like custard. Except sometimes you get some fibrous bits (which i love to suck on).

I cut myself a few times trying to crack open durians a few times but that never deter me from enjoying them.

Have you ever tried skipping ahead to where you left off on viki? It then goes into a loop and gives you the same commercial over and over again.

I also tried skipping ahead on dramacrazy and depending on where the subbed episode is residing it either lets you do so (up to the point where it is buffered only ... so you may have to wait until entire segment is buffered to jump to the end) or moves the cursor ahead without actually skipping ahead (so you still end up watching something that you have seen before). At least the raw version in Tudou has a way of letting you skip ahead (and skip embedded commercials... however slowly).

Which is why I love dramafever. Allows you to pick up that episode exactly where you left off and I don't have to remember that I need to start at 16.44 minutes in (for example).

Yeah I agree with you about the daughter/Mgr Hong's feelings. She totally likes Captain Kim, and not in the brotherly kind of way, and that she just told her dad that she would protect him like a brother-oppa.

I also wonder why her dad is looking into Captain Kim's past. Is it just because he showed up "suddenly"?

Hi Kewbie!

I think Hillary pretty much summed up it all up. Although, I'm starting to think the mom actually died in that fire and since Captain Kim took the blame he got sent back to the orphanage.

Lucky Seven is about a part-timer who inadvertedly ends up getting hired to work for a detective agency. It's somewhat of a comedy (although it has its touching moments). I only started watching because I wanted to see Eita in something that wasn't sad. I thought the first episode was pretty good but the second one dragged a bit. I'll keep watching though, I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't think that the mom died in that fire. Because won't the daughter be laden with guilt that her actions caused her mom's death? She sure doesn't act as if she has anything to be guilty of.

And I thought that in one of the episodes that the daughter told the Captain that his mom never blamed him or something ... I just thought that their house burned down.

I didn't think of that. Silly me! But you're totally right she would probably be pretty messed up with guilt. If the wife died with a broken heart then I can imagine why he's so angry with Cpt. Kim. He's displacing his guilt. He was the one who sent him away in the first place and he doesn't admit he had a hand in making his wife so upset. Cpt. Kim's just his scapegoat for those feelings. Oh well, It's all conjecture on my part but it makes me more curious to see how the story plays out.

Yeah, in episode 4 they kinda made it sound like Mgr. Hong's mom died in the fire, but she would be feeling terribly guilty. Her dad definitely blames Capt. Kim for "leaving us too early", as he says in that same episode. He also tells his daughter not to trust anything Capt. Kim says. I wonder if there's more to his hate of the Capt. than just the fire.

Lucky Seven (Japanese Drama)

Cast: Matsumoto Jun, Eita, Naka Riisa, Kadono Takuzo, Tanihara Shosuke, Fukuishi Kazue, Kaneda Akio, Iriki Mari, Koyama Koichiro, Okae Kumiko, Oizumi Yo, Matsushima Nanako

Synopsis: Tokita Shuntaro (Matsumoto Jun) becomes a detective at a small detective agency in Tokyo’s Kita Shinagawa as a result of some incident. A detective should be level-headed, but Shuntaro gets too emotionally involved with his clients and investigation targets, which spell frequent trouble for this passionate rookie. In contrast, the cool Nitta Teru (Eita), who works in the same agency, is not impressed with Shuntaro’s tendency to step over the line, and the two are always at odds. Asahi Junpei (Oizumi Yo), their senior, has been a detective for a while. He regards himself as their older brother and serves as a buffer between the two. The agency of seven people initially starts off hard on the trail of small case(s), but they soon develop into a major event.

I enjoyed watching it.

Awww y'all are so awesome ( sorry that's one of my fav words to describe when I'm happy) ^.^

Well I'm kind of in a runt, I've been watching more Kmovies then anything later but I do love me some ATK ( ahhh yes I do love to torture myself I know I know it's a problem).

Like no show so far has turned me into a crazy obsessed stalker, like some do in the beginning but then I just lose interest, idk why but I can say I'm so freaking excited for my Oppa Yoochun to be back in Kdramaland ( sorry but Ms.Ripley just didn't appeal to me at all).

I'm gonna try and get back into my Kdrama groove cuz I'm hearing great things about certain dramas that are out.

January 28, 2012 at 8:30 AM

I cannot believe A Thousand Kisses and Padam Padam end next week. Both are super sad this week. Noble idiot syndrome won't stop torturing me on ATK and all I want is woobin and Jooyoung back together. It's sad her mom is going to die without ever making up with both her daughters and the dumb writers won't even give us the real backstory on the affair.And sigh I am off this till Ep 50. I hate when people get a clue on the eve of the wedding.
Being an Noble Idiot is just dumb.

Now as for Padam Padam why do they have to break up. Is the wedding really going to happen along with that bed scene? Hoping my couple gets to reunite and be together and Kc lives.

I love Brain so much does anyone else and I am going to marathon it again when Viki opens the rest of the episodes. I love the subs there but I did want 2 more episodes for an Hot Tension wedding and family.

Deeno where are you going to do Brain recaps at and for anyone else check the show out it is so funny, sad, romantic, and unbelievable sometimes.The cast is solid even though some do not act like residents and the love plotline should have had more passionate kisses.Missing it already.

Also Glowing She is so good and I am excited for a mature romance. It's about time a woman can show she is in control while falling in love.

Doing recaps on my blog site. I only have one so far.

This should help you find them

I'm still not sure if I'll continue. More likely to recap if it gets some love and comments. Recapping after a drama has aired is hard unless you love and adore the show. It's a rather thankless task.

The funny thing about the Brain episodes on viki. When episodes were closed using computer, I was able to access on the viki app on my iphone. Strangest thing. Of course, I only discovered that after the series ended.

Oh, the start of 2012..i'm finally on the k-drama ship.

Last year, I totally skipped.

Currently on the 'watch' list:

MoonSun
The Captain.

MoonSun - This is a good show. Despite being sageuk, it's quite heavy on the romance area. The writing is good even though most of the elements of the story I have seen elsewhere. Additionally, the acting is really good too - except a few...

The Captain - a hard series to swallow. If MoonSun is light/funny and tragic (a weird combo...O.O) then The captain is... tragic and aggravating. It's probably in the whole conflict revolving around the main characters in the show. *sigh... I cried from episode one to five. -_-;
