Talking about war times is not something veterans usually like to talk about again. But I agree, I also don't understand why my parents brought me overseas if they want me to be follow traditional Chinese culture and learn its language lololol

I love how joo won's totally different from his characters and his real self <3 he's so freaking cute.

Do you know where it might be possible to get an English translation of the lyrics for the songs in the Gaksital sountrack?

I watched Big years after it aired and because I expected to hate it, I was surprised that I actually liked some parts. I watched it for Gong Yoo and the Hong Sisters.

This still was the worst Hong Sisters drama out of all of them. But... I WISH the lead actress had been played by Gong Hyo-jin instead.

Lee Min Jung is good, but this podcast states correctly, that she can play bigger, more filled-out, complex characters. But if Gong Hyo-jin had gotten hold of the messy writing for this character, she would have said the lines differently, she would be grounded. She would take control of the character. Even when she plays a character that on paper should be unlikeable (It's OK, That's Love) if Gong Hyo-jin plays the role, you can't help but still like her.

Also Biscuit Teacher, Star Candy reunion *squee*
