Happy Friday, beanies.
Just dropped by to say Lee byung hoon is an a**hole and he deserves the worst. I hope all his movies/ tv series get the worst response and everyone boycotts him.
For those whose asking: he got into a scandal, apparently a model and an idol blackmailed him, apparently he cheated on Lee Min Jung with them and are now turning the tables on the blackmailers and calling himself a victim. Min Jung is said to be living with her parents now. I find him so despicable, he has major major scandals in the past but managed to cover himself up time and time again.
the idol girl is the one from the drama Monstar.
i couldn't believe when i saw the news...by the way i always had this strange feeling while seeing that guy in dramas, a weird vibe, i can't put it into words.
I know what LBH did was bad but I don't feel sorry for those model and idol who tried to take advantage of him being a playboy with a bad reputation by blackmailing him, he couldn't care less about LMJ's feelings as he's been like that for a long time but they should have known that he's a married man with a wife and it's wrong to get involved with them, instead of blackmailing him if they went to the police for sexual harassment they would have got my respect but they chose to blackmail him for money which is very low, now they are getting prison time and their career is over, Apparantely knetz reaction towards LMJ being victim in all this has been mixed, some people are saying they feel sorry for her while others are blaming her for being stupid to think that she could change someone like LBH, some are even speculating that maybe both have an open mentality about these things, as far as I know LMJ dated LBH about 5 years ago, their relationship lasted about maybe a year and they broke off, the reason for the breakup might have been the same, LBH's lady problems, now knowing all that she still chose to marry him, when the marriage news broke out knetz were totally against it telling her not to do it but she went with it, so I can't blame knetz for not feeling sympathy for her, anyway even though LBH had a bigger scandal than this before and survived it easily this is the second time he's been caught up in a huge scandal so it will be harder for him to get out of this, but, it's still not out of the question that he might beat the scandal again.
According to a gossip site I found after googling this, LBH was in a relationship with the model for several months. So when he wanted to break up with her, they then went on to blackmail him... so yeah they're all stupid.
So that's why the news about the blackmail of Lee Byung Hoon began! Like they say, there's no smoke without fire. Frankly I was surprised that he was able to settle down after going through numerous relationships. If all these are confirmed to be true it would be tremendously sad.
I looked around, and apparently Lee Byung-hoon's CFs are being cancelled now.
I know some will say he didn't break the law, but under Korean law, adultery is an offence and for a guy who chose to marry an actress and made a huge public spectacle of his relationship and wedding, it's not surprising that news of his cheating would be a scandal and tarnish his reputation. I don't feel sorry for him at all.
Poor Lee Min Jung though, she didn't deserve this humiliation and I doubt she'll divorce him since he has enough influence with the industry to make it difficult for her to work if she leaves him.
So I binge watched my way through It's Okay, It's Love this week. Yes, I was one of those people who didn't watch as it ran and got pulled in by hearing how great it was. It might actually be my favorite drama of all time. Sad that there aren't more episodes waiting for me.
I also started to watch Running Man (mainly because of Lee Kwang Soo) and have been watching nothing else since I started. Now I'm wondering why I didn't start watching earlier.
Haha running man does that! You start watching and bam you're hooked. I cannot wait for when i get time to proper watch it again. In the mwan time recaps are my friends
Sadly my rate of watching RM episodes is going to decline once the fall season for American TV starts because I watch a lot of those in addition to my dramas and now RM.
It's honestly one of the most fun experiences I've ever had as a viewer. I can't even imagine what it's like to be able to participate, well except for exhausting.
Regarding It's Okay, It's Love, I totally understand that you're sad about not having anymore eps to watch. ....... I have 4 more to watch and I'm already sad it's only 4!
It is very good, indeed. ....... Glad you enjoyed it!
I seriously teared up just clicking the last episode to play, let alone the episode. It's the first drama that I immediately wanted to rewatch after I had just finished it.
Awe I know the feeling- I'm rewatching it already and it's definitely better the second time around. It's now one of my favorite dramas of all time. The OST is available on iTunes now too and have been binge listening to the whole thing.
I remember doing that too, I started last september, I caught to the latest episode pretty quickly, But I have to say Runningman ruined me, whenever I'm watching some thriller or something of that sort, when the Hero hides behind the table/pillar/wall etc from the villian I end up shouting he can see the 'Cameraman' "What are you doing?"
The Night Watchman... - I thought episode 13 was going to be a turning point! So I was pretty disappointed in 14. I just can't handle the randomness. There's no cohesion. It's just scene and then scene. The writer's had some neat ideas and clearly wanted to put a lot in, but it's still not really working for me. And yet I'm still watching and caught up!
She's So Loveable - Up in the air on this. I didn't dislike it like I thought I would but I also am not grabbed by it either. I only saw the first episode though.
Secret Hotel - I still have half of episide 8 left but I'm still enjoying this. It's not perfect but I'm enjoying it's charm and I like a lot if their characters. I like quirkiness and this has some really great moments.
Bridal Mask - Still slowly savoring this show! It's nice to have such great shows to go back and watch. I wish I'd seen it while it was airing but I'm still loving it. There's just so much that's right about this show.
...
On a random side note, can anybody explain the need shows have for immediate flashbacks. A couple shows I'm watching (not just the listed ones) have had scenes where the character has flashbacks to something that literally just happened or was just said. And if not immediate it's still in the same episode. Are our memories really supposed to be that bad?

I have noticed that too. Most recently in Grandpas over Flowers Investigation Team. It looks like there was a commercial break in between (that we don't see), so they repeat the scene. It's very strange to watch.
That happens a lot in My Secret Hotel, and it's really annoying. I think the people who cut out the commercials could cut out that repeating part too.
Or leave the commercials the way they are, I actually like the Korean ones.
Perhaps it's just filler because they didn't know what else to write or perhaps it's to extend an episode. ....... If I remember correctly, in King Of Dramas, I think this was a technique they employed when they wanted to make an episode longer so that viewers would still be watching while the dramas in the competing tv stations were ending, thus affecting the ratings. ...... Anthony had asked for a rewrite of the episode to make it longer and they concluded "flashback" was the way to go! Heh.
Thanks to everyone for all the info on flashbacks. I'd wondered that too. I used to think it was after a commercial break, but it didn't correspond to the breaks I was seeing.
I'm thinking that the charm of the night watchman is its randomness. It feels like a diary where anything can happen anyday. Like a true account or journal. But the writers kept us in the dark about so much...Sadam's plot, for example. Which is why it's been a problem. If this had all been done from the Prince's POV, and if we didn't see the evil machinations of the other characters, then being in the dark would be part of the fun. But when we see characters plotting and plotting and we still aren't given the entire truth about a situation..it's hard to hold on. But all that said, I'm glad they are telling us what all is at stake.
I can't figure out the charm Night Watchman holds for me, but watch it as soon as it comes up with subs -- and sometimes before. I wish the team had come together sooner and that the Big Bad didn't make me giggle, but there it is.
On the other hand, I find Discovery of Love the most charmless of the shows currently airing -- I just can't even with those characters. Flawed is one thing ... but senseless?
yes, that's the word "charm"...there is some inexplicable thing that holds and enthralls you..even if the drama is incredibly flawed. There are so many choices the writers made which were wrong IMHO but still...am totally hooked into it.
I do think it has a certain charm, but for me it's not the randomness. I'm completely fine with the unexpected happening or not focusing on a single character's POV...but for me the randomness is often that they'll introduce something only to drop it or pick it up several episodes later when it's convenient. It's just messy.
The charm for me is really in the individual moments, certain actors, and then the fact that they did have some interesting ideas and visuals.
I'm totally piled up with project deadlines and term tests but my procrastinating self have been binge watching k-dramas (Discovery of Love - more on that later, I just caught ep 10!, Three Musketeers, Plus Nine Boys) and my current flavour of the month: k-variety Abnormal Summit! I love it so much, it's been quite an eye opener to see so many foreigners speaking fluent Korean and sharing their opinions about current topics.. I find the guests quite redundant as the hosts and the panel have been pretty entertaining. Have any of beanies around seen it yet?
Okay, now on to Discovery of Love!!
[SPOILER - FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN EP 10]
I have this bad feeling that end game would be Ha Jin and Yeo Reum. This is coming from someone who used to like them but can't stand the way they refuse to communicate properly and now stan Tae Ha - Yeo Reum. I love how this writer makes everything so relatable, like Joon Ho finally FALLING IN LOVE with Sol, and with Yeo Reum not telling anybody about her dad's suicide, I relate to her so much. It's a stinking feeling.... A person's death will never be easy to get over,much less someone who chose to take his life... Without Tae Ha, she is truly alone...
Three Musketeers
I must be the only one who doesn't quite like Mi Ryung. I'm very interested in her back story with the Crown Prince, how they fall in love and how he ordered her death - but I have this feeling they are soul mates, but not right for each other. The action scenes and directing definitely need some improvement, I find the action scenes very messy and lackluster.. I adore the costumes though!
Episode 10 was the best episode of Discovery of Love so far. Kang Tae Ha showed his maturity and the last scene….God…so painful to watch. The most beautiful break up scene ever….TT…TT…Eric-Yoo Mi chemistry is no joke…!!!!
Kim Sul Gi. I am literally fast forwarding through everything that is not her. Part of it is that at this poitn I'm not rooting for anyone in the central quadrangle. But Kim Sul Gi and her fanclub! They are so adorable and funny!
When are they going to give her a show? I mean, I knwo she's a comedian rather than an actor, but she's been doing solid work on this and in Surplus Princess. I could see her really running circles around a lighter show.
But that said, I think all of the central quadrangle should really just take themselves off the market until they become fully functioning adults. They've got some incredibly likable actors and even so. I just can't with them.
Love Abnormal Summit! It's my new crack variety show (since I don't have access to Youth Over Flowers subbed, boo hoo), and I'm forever grateful to Bumbdidlyumptious for subbing it!
They're all such funny characters, and their Korean fluency is amazing! It's inspired me to redouble my efforts to learn Korean.
Looking forward to seeing what hidden skills the boys have next week (like aromatherapy, hahaha...)
Hello and happy friday beanies!
How are you all? I'm feeling nervouse and am back in the airport again. Off to York to be a student again. Been a short week at home. Had to have the doggie put down which was horrible and sad. Also found out that one of my male friends listen to kpop!
Kdrama toddlers style; the last episode?
- boy G and girl F were playing the chasing game. She was running in front and made sure to stop every now and then to make sure he was still following. They will soon experience sepwration as she is moving back to korea next month (will they end up together as normal drama fashion dictates? Time will tell). They also spendt a lessons feeding each other candy (that boy G had smuggled past rhe teacher).
-boy J also tried to feed girl F candy as well as trying to hold her hand and kiss her cheek. Boy G was having non of it though and made sure she got distracted quickly.
Boy M tried to get girl C to say that she liked him. He did this while doing the "cool boy lean" pose against the wall.
-the player brought roses for the teachers (for teachers day) and in true player style handed them over while kissing the hands of the teachers. He also gave one for one of the girls and made sure to hug the rest.
Dramaland:
Still behind on most except high school love on. Still loving this show. Its got a light feel tl it, and is just entertaining. I want to see more of the mythology though as its very interesting. Wonder what will happen now in it. My only draw is that its age difference is quite noticeble at times. It doesn't bothet me as much as i notice that she looks much younger than the boys and the others in the class.
Hi owl!
The player does have his moves down indeed. He will go far wwhen he gets older. I will miss not having a dailt dose of him (and all the other toddlers) so much. I am already missing them a lot.
Manin was teaching English in a toddlers' class in China, and has been telling us hilarious stories about their activities - the kids are playing out some of the same drama that we see in the Korean dramas.
Yeah what okiejune said :p i started mentioning some thing that the children was doing becauuse it reminded me of drama tromps and i was finding it funny. (Who knew the fall down kiss could happen un real life?) And then someone else named it " kdrama toddlers style" and the name stuck.
How are you? ...... Oh wow, at the airport once again!
Sorry to hear about your dog. That is a sad situation, but I know that sometimes there is no other alternative. ...... I have a friend who went through this recently with the family pet. The pet was at an advanced age and was experiencing severe medical issues. Several vets did not give any hope for any type of recovery.
Regarding the last installment of the toddlers .....I see the player remained true to form until the end! ...... and the "cool buy lean" *laughing* ...... I can just picture these two!
Take care, best of luck in your studies in York and have a safe flight!
Korfan:
I'm good. Getting travel nervousness though :p how are you?
Thank you. Yeah he wasn't that old, only 7, but he has always had a bad foot. And its just become worse. This waa bassically the only option we had left and we did try every option that the vet would recommend. But at least he will no longer be in pain.
Haha the player will always be the player indeed. If i get some stories from the other teachers i will make sure to share them. But yes, atm this is the last toddler instalement.
"Tidlig krøkes den god krok skal bli" bassically means you have to start early to become something. So guess he is practicing his moves for later. As well as the player ;)
I am! I know I've seen other Norwegians on here, but I never expected you to be one. You know, what with the teaching in China thing. :P
How did you end up doing that?
Oh where in Norway are you from? It's my first time actually finding other norwegians here (as I can remember atm at least) :p
Haha how did I end up in China. Good question :p I studied in Wales and they had an employers fair where someone had a presentation about teaching english in China. I went to the presentation, look up some information and though "Hey this sounds interesting. Why not try?" applied for it and got a job. So a bit of a impulse thing. Not that I regret it at all
(haha just thought about the fact that we are still speaking English :p)
I haven't talked to you in forever, it seems…I did read at the last OT that you've moved back home and about to go back to college, and that you were planning a meet with a couple of beanies in LOndon. Hope everything works out!
Thank you for the last installment of Toddler Kdrama :) I will miss them…
Stay safe in your travels! It's been raining non stop here in Houston, TX. Except on Monday, which made me so incredibly blessed, cause on Saturday my car's window was broken into and it was one big hole until I got it fixed on Monday.
Anyway, it's really really nice talking to you again, everyone! Happy OT!
Hi nomad!
It has been a long time indeed. How are you?
Thanks i need all the luck i can get. Major travel nerves atm. I feel almost more nervouse now than going to china!
Sorry to hear about your car! At least you got some relief from the train at a good point.
Hi Manin! Hope you have a good time at home, and good luck in York!
Kdrama: Toddler style has been a classic for the ages, so many of us in the Plus Nine Boys thread have been reminded of you when we get the nine year old's "love story" lol. And Boy G and Girl F are going to move to different countries?! This is ripe for becoming a twenty years later reunion of "first loves", you know that is what a kdrama writer would do to them! (I'm convinced the Plus Nine Boys writers hang out here and follow Kdrama: Toddler Style the way ajummas follow makjang dramas)
After an (almost) week of settling in, orientations, awkward foreigner moments, trying to get our ID cards to work, trying (and failing, probably) to figure out the garbage/recycling system, and meeting new friends, I am so excited to see where this semester will take us! I don't have much to say about dramas this week, considering I'm behind in everything except Three Musketeers and Reset (which are both awesome!), but I just had to tell this to someone (or ones, I suppose) who might understand the significance:
You guys, it exists. We've moved into the Flower Boy Apartments. There are two across the hall and one next door, and who knows how many others we haven't met yet -- even the landlord and the man who came and showed us how to use our gas aren't bad-looking (though definitely in the old-enough-to-be-my-father range, so...). And that's not even taking into consideration the other students at the university itself.
In other news, I am SO excited for Secret Door next week. And knowing that everyone involved is so excited too makes me even more so.
Oh, the FB apts ~ so lucky! I wonder if one of them will be a chef intern who invites everyone for dinner! Perhaps you can keep a log to update beanies on the weekly flower boy antics :)
How was the move? Hurray for flower boy appartments! How are you finding things? I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed whrn i first got to china so can imagine it feels a bit similar.
Thanks, Manin! Yeah, it's been a little overwhelming. It's been a little easier, though, I think, because I was in Japan already for six months earlier this summer, but there's still a different feeling to it, knowing I'm here for three months instead. I'm very glad to have my roommate here with me, too -- I imagine it's a big added stress factor traveling alone.
Ah so you traveled with someone then? That's good. I was all alone (and all alone in going to York). It's nice having at least one person to start off with.
I suppose you speak some Japanese then since you've already been there a round? Did you study then as well?
Nope, I only know a very few words and phrases. I was teaching Conversational English before, so we didn't need to know any Japanese. But I am definitely planning on learning this time around. Did you learn a lot of Mandarin while you were in China?
I learned a bit, but not as much as I'd have liked. WE were just working so much that there was no real time to get proper lessons, so I was basically just trying to pick up what I could from daily life and interacting with the children.
I can hold a very basic and limited conversation, and I understand a bit more than what I can say myself. I am wanting to learn more though.
Roommate new cast members - I am a fan of Park Joon Hyung (g.o.d.) ever since his cameo in Fated To Love You, which was a wildly random comeback. As a first generation idol with charisma, you’ve got to love that he lives with his mom in LA because her food is delicious and surfing is full time play. Park Joon Hyung is cool and the closest to Mama Shin, but I am pretty sure he won’t be in the kitchen with Dinah strumming on the ol’ banjo. Jackson is Mr. loose cannon and is a master at copping air time. Look out flower boys Min-woo and Kang-joon! Nana and Sunny will likely make for bright girl group cheer all around. Japanese actor Otani Ryohei – he’s everywhere these days – will join the cast, too. Ratings suck so far, so new cast, title, and format, and Cucumber the Beagle - we'll see if it survives.
FT Island Hangul Live – I’ve compacted all 23 lessons in a post – 4 minutes of fun Korean lessons in each episode. click owl.
I Am A Man – soon to be grooms special. I absolutely love Jaesook, he’s the best host ever. I just want to say that the guy who exposed his secret that he still talks online to his ex-girlfriend, those flowers you won may be for your funeral instead of your wedding, buddy.
Discovery of Romance - Playing My Girl during Joon-ho’s crush moment on Sol is daebak.
She’s So Loveable – Rain’s so loveable. *spoilers although I don’t think it matters* The truck of doom hit so hard and so fast I thought I was mistakenly watching the middle of the drama and went back to the beginning. Nope, truck of doom really did hit hard and fast. Bad news. Then Rain was an organic farmer/chef who didn’t care about money. Then his song was still playing when he returned to the rat race after 3 years and @wham!@ flashback to the truck of doom. Then he found the sister even though she switched her name. “If it was easy, I’d do it myself,” he told the guy who tracked her down. But it really was kind of easy. She’s right here, taking care of your dog under your nose (sad part about the dog excluded).
I am still so disappointed over the misleading title, Pride and Prejudice.
Three Musketeers – the crown prince’s smile is killer. Love Dal Hyang’s loyalty to the king and the suspense of how the duel will bond him to the Three Musketeers.
My brother was telling me about a survival show and I mentioned Laws of the Jungle. He stopped me and said, "you watch a Korean version of everything." Pretty much.
The sweltering heat has subsided somewhat, but the last 5 days or so were impossible! Glad to know we'll be experiencing more pleasant weather for the next couple of days.
The drama-watching continues and I'm enjoying every minute of it! ...... Watched this week:
Temptation - Hong-joo, what are you doing?? ...... It's unfortunate that she doesn't know or realize that if you make a decision it should be one that you're not unhappy or bitter about during every hour of your day. ...... I almost can't look away ....... I'm just curious as to where the writer will take this.
It's Okay, It's Love - I have 4 more eps to watch. ....... Pain and sadness here we come ....... but oh so good.
Fated To Love You - When the drama planets align, you get this. ...... What a joy it is to watch this drama. ....... I haven't mentioned it during the past weeks but it's not because I haven't noticed it, on a purely frivolous note, Gun and Daniel are just rockin' those outfits. Gosh, those two men look good.
That's about it for now. ....... Everyone take care and have a great Friday!
oh gee!I think you just spared me a whole mess of heartbreak, stress, and annoyance. I was just tempted to start when reading Korfan's post. But now I've been brought back to my right mind.
Her acting and facial expressions in this drama are annoying AF. Is her acting bad or is she just so good an actress that she knows exactly how to act to make you hate her? Ooh yess, hated her. Sorry CJW
The ending is good/bad depending on whose team you are. The chaos reminds me of Reply 1994: Team Oppa vs Chil Bong. Mix some ethical issues and personal ways of seeing things within then BAM! Either you are happy or disappointed, no between.
I liked Kwon Sang-Woo in Cinderella Man and so I watched Medical Top Team (mediocre) and Temptation (although I dropped it and don't care about the ending).
I deeply regret watching Temptation. It was toxic, taxing, and stomach-turning. The writing was glaringly inconsistent and characters suffered from personality transplants/swapped personalities.
Temptation is totally a fanservice for fans of Choi Ji-Woo & Kwon Sang-Woo's previous drama Stairway to Heaven. It was crystal clear that the storyline was maneuvered and shifted to ensure accommodation of a different outcome from their prior ill-fated/doomed OTP ending. It was hard and in the end a losing battle for some people to easily distinguish, see, and accept their Temptation characters as separate and distinct entities from their characters in Stairway to Heaven.
If you want Stairway to Heaven Part Deux, then you'll probably like it. However, if you watched it because of how it was advertised as a totally unconnected and autonomous drama then therein is where the problem and frustration lies.
Any Scots on? What's your feeling on the Big Vote for Independence? Must say, I'm surprised the Vote was a "No", but then again, I don't know the details. Anyone care to explain?
I'm having serious withdrawals. I miss FTLY and IOTL so much!! My Wed-Thurs seems so vague. I will start She's So Lovable today.
Joseon Gunman - I'm up to ep 14. Like someone already said, it's really is quite a random story line. Not very cohesive at all! The major problem I have is that Yoon Kang "left" for 3 years. So how does he believe that just cutting his hair and putting on a pair of glasses will be a good disguise to fool everyone???? Dude, your face is still the same! Just saying your're not somebody doesn't make it so. LMAO.
Night Watchman - Another RANDOM SERIES!!!! Also up to ep 14 and not much of anything has happened. Each time you think "Now it's about to be on", we get more stares and a bunch of nothing. I love all the ghosts~ Smallpox is no joke! I love the Schizophrenic King (he's done quite a fine job with his acting out 2 deranged roles). I heard this drama was extended to 24 episodes, is that true?
Jang Bori Is Here - I'm surprised I stuck with this weekend drama. Really, I only enjoy Secretary Moon get revenge on Min Jung. Jang Bori continues to be foolish in many ways - it's really hard to watch her acting sometimes. Will be glad when this is over.
>I love the Schizophrenic King (he’s done quite a fine job with his acting out 2 deranged roles).
I agree! And I love the walking-on-eggshells looks he gets from everyone else as they try to suss out whether he's having a good day or bad day (or a super-crazy, cut-you-with-a-sword day).
I'm not a Scot but I did follow the referendum vote pretty closely. My guess is that the Yes side had an outline of where they wanted to go after becoming independent, but concrete plans weren't, like the currency question. Unlike a lot of people , I don't think that the question of independence is over for a generation. If the SNP and others with the Yes campaign can come up with firm plans, then I think the results may be a reverse of this vote's outcome.
Again, not a Scot, so take my opinion with the requisite grain of salt.
>I’m having serious withdrawals. I miss FTLY and IOTL so much!!
That's me with "Marriage, not Dating". ::sigh:: I was all excited because of my new Chromecast (now I can watch computer videos on my tv), only to remember that there's not a special show on Fridays anymore. ::sad face::
I'm with you…after FTLY, High school king savvy, MND have finished, I'm seriously at loss on what to watch. I went and watched CHuno, which was like everybody said, awesome in the beginning. I got to the middle, and went to read all the recaps…and then found out…oh God! Some important people died! *gasp* which for me, made the whole drama too bleak for my enjoyment. So I copped out. Ugh… I wish it's a rule in kdrama, where: if you make your hero go through crap after crap, then you'd better give him happy in the end, da** it! But it's not…so yeah…I still love kdrama anyway...
I'm watching Jang Bori and enjoying Secretary Moon getting his revenge on Min-jung, even if it's coming around ever so slowly now. Sometimes I just wish he'd blow the lid off of everything all at once.
And I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking Bo-ri is a bit dull in the head (I always chuckle at the person who keeps posting "Dumbbori" in the comment line section of Viki)...you're absolutely right, it's hard to watch. It's only a few more eps though...I don't have much faith in the followup, considering an idol rookie actress was cast lead.
I was also thinking Kim Sun Ah, because I love her and she can do no wrong, but I know Elizabeth is supposed to be in her early twenties. Not that Kim Sun Ah wouldn't pass
Watching IOIL, around ep 12, I'm loving it. Is anyone watching my spring days, is it.good, I checked the soompi forum and a lot of people seem to like it. My lovely girl is actually fun for me, I don't get why some people hate it. Blade man is so strange, but I think I kinda like it, will keep watching
oh can we talk about how awesome SD is? I really, really like it! And what makes it more enjoyable is that…I totally don't expect it. At. All. Every episode manages to make me laugh, HARD! (and not at it, but with it)
I'm hoping with you. Though I won't keep my hopes too high, for being burnt too many times before. The coincidences though...it's adding up, isn't it? *spoilers ahead*
For some reason I can feel the chemistry btwn Bom Yi and hyung nim but not so much btwn her and her boyfriend. I really like BomYi, btw...all with her flaws included. And how cute is the teenage girl? Her broken heart in the latest episode touches me so.
I watched all 4 episodes of Blade Man last night and I kinda liked it. It was 2 am and I couldn't sleep so I thought I would just give it a try. I kept laughing out loud. Happily I didn't wake the kiddo. I'm glad to find that I am not totally alone in kinda liking this strange drama.
It is the most most really most daebak drama right now I can really swear its excellence from d-a-e to the b-a-k hihihihi
My Spring Days for the actual win this 2014 imo. Hope it stays like this til the last episode. Characters are all so lovely. I wish I could spot a dull moment, which is impossible for me to do with My Spring Days!
Happy Friday Beanies! I'm glad the weekend is back... because it means the year is progressing along... 2014 has been a mostly good year that has moves fast. Drama wise there has been some hits and misses, but the fall line up is looking a bit interesting. I can't wait to see what will happen! Anyways I hope the weekend moves a bit slower this time around (I doubt it) and that we can all enjoy some catch up time with out favorite dramas or that we can watch our weekend ones!
So I recently started Ruler of Your Own World and so far even though I'm only three episodes in I love it. It's been on my radar as something I might love since I started watching dramas 3 years ago, however I've been hesitant to watch it as I quickly learned I should avoid "classic" dramas like the plague, with a few exceptions. In this case though I'm kicking myself for putting it off so long as it's so refreshing and everyone in the cast is wonderful and so young. I could easily see it joining Thank You, Flowers For My Life, Soul/Hon and Answer Me 1997, as the 5th Korean drama to make my all time favorite Asian drama list.
My Secret Hotel- I love it so much and I'm so happy Soo-ah decided to run away as if the wedding had happened no one in the show nor I the viewer would have been happy.
My Spring Day- This shoe seemingly has the mix of classicness and newness down I hope it continues to surprise me by being so awesome.
My Loveable Girl- Unlike My Spring Day it just feels old, though I still kind of liked the first week. However if it continues to just feel old it will probably go crazy fairly soon annoying me so much I have to drop it.
Blade Man- While watching episode 3 I felt like I was watching a completely different drama until the last 10-20 minutes, did that happen to anyone else? I haven't seen 4 yet.
I made the mistake of watching Blade Man with my husband--who walked out of episode #1, disgusted. I said, "Javabeans said episode 2 should have been the one the series started on." He looked at me like I was crazy. "Who's Javabeans?" (Saying it out loud didn't carry the respect I give her as I read this site.)
I think I'm going to have to watch it (if I continue to watch it) on the sly--like I'm an addict (yeah. I know. I am.) by myself, in the dark, under the blankets in the guest room, on my phone-----where I go to eat the expensive chocolate I sneak into the house.

For those whose asking: he got into a scandal, apparently a model and an idol blackmailed him, apparently he cheated on Lee Min Jung with them and are now turning the tables on the blackmailers and calling himself a victim. Min Jung is said to be living with her parents now. I find him so despicable, he has major major scandals in the past but managed to cover himself up time and time again.

I know what LBH did was bad but I don't feel sorry for those model and idol who tried to take advantage of him being a playboy with a bad reputation by blackmailing him, he couldn't care less about LMJ's feelings as he's been like that for a long time but they should have known that he's a married man with a wife and it's wrong to get involved with them, instead of blackmailing him if they went to the police for sexual harassment they would have got my respect but they chose to blackmail him for money which is very low, now they are getting prison time and their career is over, Apparantely knetz reaction towards LMJ being victim in all this has been mixed, some people are saying they feel sorry for her while others are blaming her for being stupid to think that she could change someone like LBH, some are even speculating that maybe both have an open mentality about these things, as far as I know LMJ dated LBH about 5 years ago, their relationship lasted about maybe a year and they broke off, the reason for the breakup might have been the same, LBH's lady problems, now knowing all that she still chose to marry him, when the marriage news broke out knetz were totally against it telling her not to do it but she went with it, so I can't blame knetz for not feeling sympathy for her, anyway even though LBH had a bigger scandal than this before and survived it easily this is the second time he's been caught up in a huge scandal so it will be harder for him to get out of this, but, it's still not out of the question that he might beat the scandal again.

According to a gossip site I found after googling this, LBH was in a relationship with the model for several months. So when he wanted to break up with her, they then went on to blackmail him... so yeah they're all stupid.

I looked around, and apparently Lee Byung-hoon's CFs are being cancelled now.
I know some will say he didn't break the law, but under Korean law, adultery is an offence and for a guy who chose to marry an actress and made a huge public spectacle of his relationship and wedding, it's not surprising that news of his cheating would be a scandal and tarnish his reputation. I don't feel sorry for him at all.
Poor Lee Min Jung though, she didn't deserve this humiliation and I doubt she'll divorce him since he has enough influence with the industry to make it difficult for her to work if she leaves him.

The Night Watchman... - I thought episode 13 was going to be a turning point! So I was pretty disappointed in 14. I just can't handle the randomness. There's no cohesion. It's just scene and then scene. The writer's had some neat ideas and clearly wanted to put a lot in, but it's still not really working for me. And yet I'm still watching and caught up!
She's So Loveable - Up in the air on this. I didn't dislike it like I thought I would but I also am not grabbed by it either. I only saw the first episode though.
Secret Hotel - I still have half of episide 8 left but I'm still enjoying this. It's not perfect but I'm enjoying it's charm and I like a lot if their characters. I like quirkiness and this has some really great moments.
Bridal Mask - Still slowly savoring this show! It's nice to have such great shows to go back and watch. I wish I'd seen it while it was airing but I'm still loving it. There's just so much that's right about this show.
...
On a random side note, can anybody explain the need shows have for immediate flashbacks. A couple shows I'm watching (not just the listed ones) have had scenes where the character has flashbacks to something that literally just happened or was just said. And if not immediate it's still in the same episode. Are our memories really supposed to be that bad?

I have noticed that too. Most recently in Grandpas over Flowers Investigation Team. It looks like there was a commercial break in between (that we don't see), so they repeat the scene. It's very strange to watch.

Reagrding the flashbacks .....
Perhaps it's just filler because they didn't know what else to write or perhaps it's to extend an episode. ....... If I remember correctly, in King Of Dramas, I think this was a technique they employed when they wanted to make an episode longer so that viewers would still be watching while the dramas in the competing tv stations were ending, thus affecting the ratings. ...... Anthony had asked for a rewrite of the episode to make it longer and they concluded "flashback" was the way to go! Heh.

Flashback in a drama to a moment/event that literally just happens minutes ago, means they need to fill the airtime.

I'm thinking that the charm of the night watchman is its randomness. It feels like a diary where anything can happen anyday. Like a true account or journal. But the writers kept us in the dark about so much...Sadam's plot, for example. Which is why it's been a problem. If this had all been done from the Prince's POV, and if we didn't see the evil machinations of the other characters, then being in the dark would be part of the fun. But when we see characters plotting and plotting and we still aren't given the entire truth about a situation..it's hard to hold on. But all that said, I'm glad they are telling us what all is at stake.

I can't figure out the charm Night Watchman holds for me, but watch it as soon as it comes up with subs -- and sometimes before. I wish the team had come together sooner and that the Big Bad didn't make me giggle, but there it is.
On the other hand, I find Discovery of Love the most charmless of the shows currently airing -- I just can't even with those characters. Flawed is one thing ... but senseless?

I do think it has a certain charm, but for me it's not the randomness. I'm completely fine with the unexpected happening or not focusing on a single character's POV...but for me the randomness is often that they'll introduce something only to drop it or pick it up several episodes later when it's convenient. It's just messy.
The charm for me is really in the individual moments, certain actors, and then the fact that they did have some interesting ideas and visuals.

Hi everyone! How y'all doing?
I'm totally piled up with project deadlines and term tests but my procrastinating self have been binge watching k-dramas (Discovery of Love - more on that later, I just caught ep 10!, Three Musketeers, Plus Nine Boys) and my current flavour of the month: k-variety Abnormal Summit! I love it so much, it's been quite an eye opener to see so many foreigners speaking fluent Korean and sharing their opinions about current topics.. I find the guests quite redundant as the hosts and the panel have been pretty entertaining. Have any of beanies around seen it yet?
Okay, now on to Discovery of Love!!
[SPOILER - FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN EP 10]
I have this bad feeling that end game would be Ha Jin and Yeo Reum. This is coming from someone who used to like them but can't stand the way they refuse to communicate properly and now stan Tae Ha - Yeo Reum. I love how this writer makes everything so relatable, like Joon Ho finally FALLING IN LOVE with Sol, and with Yeo Reum not telling anybody about her dad's suicide, I relate to her so much. It's a stinking feeling.... A person's death will never be easy to get over,much less someone who chose to take his life... Without Tae Ha, she is truly alone...
Three Musketeers
I must be the only one who doesn't quite like Mi Ryung. I'm very interested in her back story with the Crown Prince, how they fall in love and how he ordered her death - but I have this feeling they are soul mates, but not right for each other. The action scenes and directing definitely need some improvement, I find the action scenes very messy and lackluster.. I adore the costumes though!
Busy month ahead, hope everyone's doing fine!! Happy weekend, all!

When are they going to give her a show? I mean, I knwo she's a comedian rather than an actor, but she's been doing solid work on this and in Surplus Princess. I could see her really running circles around a lighter show.
But that said, I think all of the central quadrangle should really just take themselves off the market until they become fully functioning adults. They've got some incredibly likable actors and even so. I just can't with them.

Hello and happy friday beanies!
How are you all? I'm feeling nervouse and am back in the airport again. Off to York to be a student again. Been a short week at home. Had to have the doggie put down which was horrible and sad. Also found out that one of my male friends listen to kpop!
Kdrama toddlers style; the last episode?
- boy G and girl F were playing the chasing game. She was running in front and made sure to stop every now and then to make sure he was still following. They will soon experience sepwration as she is moving back to korea next month (will they end up together as normal drama fashion dictates? Time will tell). They also spendt a lessons feeding each other candy (that boy G had smuggled past rhe teacher).
-boy J also tried to feed girl F candy as well as trying to hold her hand and kiss her cheek. Boy G was having non of it though and made sure she got distracted quickly.
Boy M tried to get girl C to say that she liked him. He did this while doing the "cool boy lean" pose against the wall.
-the player brought roses for the teachers (for teachers day) and in true player style handed them over while kissing the hands of the teachers. He also gave one for one of the girls and made sure to hug the rest.
Dramaland:
Still behind on most except high school love on. Still loving this show. Its got a light feel tl it, and is just entertaining. I want to see more of the mythology though as its very interesting. Wonder what will happen now in it. My only draw is that its age difference is quite noticeble at times. It doesn't bothet me as much as i notice that she looks much younger than the boys and the others in the class.

Stay safe in your travels! It's been raining non stop here in Houston, TX. Except on Monday, which made me so incredibly blessed, cause on Saturday my car's window was broken into and it was one big hole until I got it fixed on Monday.
Anyway, it's really really nice talking to you again, everyone! Happy OT!

Kdrama: Toddler style has been a classic for the ages, so many of us in the Plus Nine Boys thread have been reminded of you when we get the nine year old's "love story" lol. And Boy G and Girl F are going to move to different countries?! This is ripe for becoming a twenty years later reunion of "first loves", you know that is what a kdrama writer would do to them! (I'm convinced the Plus Nine Boys writers hang out here and follow Kdrama: Toddler Style the way ajummas follow makjang dramas)

Happy Friday from Japan!
After an (almost) week of settling in, orientations, awkward foreigner moments, trying to get our ID cards to work, trying (and failing, probably) to figure out the garbage/recycling system, and meeting new friends, I am so excited to see where this semester will take us! I don't have much to say about dramas this week, considering I'm behind in everything except Three Musketeers and Reset (which are both awesome!), but I just had to tell this to someone (or ones, I suppose) who might understand the significance:
You guys, it exists. We've moved into the Flower Boy Apartments. There are two across the hall and one next door, and who knows how many others we haven't met yet -- even the landlord and the man who came and showed us how to use our gas aren't bad-looking (though definitely in the old-enough-to-be-my-father range, so...). And that's not even taking into consideration the other students at the university itself.
In other news, I am SO excited for Secret Door next week. And knowing that everyone involved is so excited too makes me even more so.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Thanks, Manin! Yeah, it's been a little overwhelming.

I'm very glad to have my roommate here with me, too -- I imagine it's a big added stress factor traveling alone.

Nope, I only know a very few words and phrases. I was teaching Conversational English before, so we didn't need to know any Japanese. But I am definitely planning on learning this time around. Did you learn a lot of Mandarin while you were in China?
Manin
September 20, 2014 at 9:48 AM
haha that changes things a little :P
I learned a bit, but not as much as I'd have liked. WE were just working so much that there was no real time to get proper lessons, so I was basically just trying to pick up what I could from daily life and interacting with the children.
I can hold a very basic and limited conversation, and I understand a bit more than what I can say myself. I am wanting to learn more though.
MistyIsles
September 20, 2014 at 11:03 PM

Good morning !
Roommate new cast members - I am a fan of Park Joon Hyung (g.o.d.) ever since his cameo in Fated To Love You, which was a wildly random comeback. As a first generation idol with charisma, you’ve got to love that he lives with his mom in LA because her food is delicious and surfing is full time play. Park Joon Hyung is cool and the closest to Mama Shin, but I am pretty sure he won’t be in the kitchen with Dinah strumming on the ol’ banjo. Jackson is Mr. loose cannon and is a master at copping air time. Look out flower boys Min-woo and Kang-joon! Nana and Sunny will likely make for bright girl group cheer all around. Japanese actor Otani Ryohei – he’s everywhere these days – will join the cast, too. Ratings suck so far, so new cast, title, and format, and Cucumber the Beagle - we'll see if it survives.
FT Island Hangul Live – I’ve compacted all 23 lessons in a post – 4 minutes of fun Korean lessons in each episode. click owl.
I Am A Man – soon to be grooms special. I absolutely love Jaesook, he’s the best host ever. I just want to say that the guy who exposed his secret that he still talks online to his ex-girlfriend, those flowers you won may be for your funeral instead of your wedding, buddy.
Discovery of Romance - Playing My Girl during Joon-ho’s crush moment on Sol is daebak.
She’s So Loveable – Rain’s so loveable. *spoilers although I don’t think it matters* The truck of doom hit so hard and so fast I thought I was mistakenly watching the middle of the drama and went back to the beginning. Nope, truck of doom really did hit hard and fast. Bad news. Then Rain was an organic farmer/chef who didn’t care about money. Then his song was still playing when he returned to the rat race after 3 years and @wham!@ flashback to the truck of doom. Then he found the sister even though she switched her name. “If it was easy, I’d do it myself,” he told the guy who tracked her down. But it really was kind of easy. She’s right here, taking care of your dog under your nose (sad part about the dog excluded).
I am still so disappointed over the misleading title, Pride and Prejudice.
Three Musketeers – the crown prince’s smile is killer. Love Dal Hyang’s loyalty to the king and the suspense of how the duel will bond him to the Three Musketeers.
My brother was telling me about a survival show and I mentioned Laws of the Jungle. He stopped me and said, "you watch a Korean version of everything." Pretty much.

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well today.
The sweltering heat has subsided somewhat, but the last 5 days or so were impossible! Glad to know we'll be experiencing more pleasant weather for the next couple of days.
The drama-watching continues and I'm enjoying every minute of it! ...... Watched this week:
Temptation - Hong-joo, what are you doing?? ...... It's unfortunate that she doesn't know or realize that if you make a decision it should be one that you're not unhappy or bitter about during every hour of your day. ...... I almost can't look away ....... I'm just curious as to where the writer will take this.
It's Okay, It's Love - I have 4 more eps to watch. ....... Pain and sadness here we come ....... but oh so good.
Fated To Love You - When the drama planets align, you get this. ...... What a joy it is to watch this drama. ....... I haven't mentioned it during the past weeks but it's not because I haven't noticed it, on a purely frivolous note, Gun and Daniel are just rockin' those outfits. Gosh, those two men look good.
That's about it for now. ....... Everyone take care and have a great Friday!

Is Temptation good? NO
I deeply regret watching Temptation. It was toxic, taxing, and stomach-turning. The writing was glaringly inconsistent and characters suffered from personality transplants/swapped personalities.
Temptation is totally a fanservice for fans of Choi Ji-Woo & Kwon Sang-Woo's previous drama Stairway to Heaven. It was crystal clear that the storyline was maneuvered and shifted to ensure accommodation of a different outcome from their prior ill-fated/doomed OTP ending. It was hard and in the end a losing battle for some people to easily distinguish, see, and accept their Temptation characters as separate and distinct entities from their characters in Stairway to Heaven.
If you want Stairway to Heaven Part Deux, then you'll probably like it. However, if you watched it because of how it was advertised as a totally unconnected and autonomous drama then therein is where the problem and frustration lies.

Any Scots on? What's your feeling on the Big Vote for Independence? Must say, I'm surprised the Vote was a "No", but then again, I don't know the details. Anyone care to explain?
I'm having serious withdrawals. I miss FTLY and IOTL so much!! My Wed-Thurs seems so vague. I will start She's So Lovable today.
Joseon Gunman - I'm up to ep 14. Like someone already said, it's really is quite a random story line. Not very cohesive at all! The major problem I have is that Yoon Kang "left" for 3 years. So how does he believe that just cutting his hair and putting on a pair of glasses will be a good disguise to fool everyone???? Dude, your face is still the same! Just saying your're not somebody doesn't make it so. LMAO.
Night Watchman - Another RANDOM SERIES!!!! Also up to ep 14 and not much of anything has happened. Each time you think "Now it's about to be on", we get more stares and a bunch of nothing. I love all the ghosts~ Smallpox is no joke! I love the Schizophrenic King (he's done quite a fine job with his acting out 2 deranged roles). I heard this drama was extended to 24 episodes, is that true?
Jang Bori Is Here - I'm surprised I stuck with this weekend drama. Really, I only enjoy Secretary Moon get revenge on Min Jung. Jang Bori continues to be foolish in many ways - it's really hard to watch her acting sometimes. Will be glad when this is over.
Have a great weekend!!

I'm not a Scot but I did follow the referendum vote pretty closely. My guess is that the Yes side had an outline of where they wanted to go after becoming independent, but concrete plans weren't, like the currency question. Unlike a lot of people , I don't think that the question of independence is over for a generation. If the SNP and others with the Yes campaign can come up with firm plans, then I think the results may be a reverse of this vote's outcome.
Again, not a Scot, so take my opinion with the requisite grain of salt.

I'm with you…after FTLY, High school king savvy, MND have finished, I'm seriously at loss on what to watch. I went and watched CHuno, which was like everybody said, awesome in the beginning. I got to the middle, and went to read all the recaps…and then found out…oh God! Some important people died! *gasp* which for me, made the whole drama too bleak for my enjoyment. So I copped out. Ugh… I wish it's a rule in kdrama, where: if you make your hero go through crap after crap, then you'd better give him happy in the end, da** it! But it's not…so yeah…I still love kdrama anyway...

I'm watching Jang Bori and enjoying Secretary Moon getting his revenge on Min-jung, even if it's coming around ever so slowly now. Sometimes I just wish he'd blow the lid off of everything all at once.
And I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking Bo-ri is a bit dull in the head (I always chuckle at the person who keeps posting "Dumbbori" in the comment line section of Viki)...you're absolutely right, it's hard to watch. It's only a few more eps though...I don't have much faith in the followup, considering an idol rookie actress was cast lead.

So I recently started Ruler of Your Own World and so far even though I'm only three episodes in I love it. It's been on my radar as something I might love since I started watching dramas 3 years ago, however I've been hesitant to watch it as I quickly learned I should avoid "classic" dramas like the plague, with a few exceptions. In this case though I'm kicking myself for putting it off so long as it's so refreshing and everyone in the cast is wonderful and so young. I could easily see it joining Thank You, Flowers For My Life, Soul/Hon and Answer Me 1997, as the 5th Korean drama to make my all time favorite Asian drama list.
My Secret Hotel- I love it so much and I'm so happy Soo-ah decided to run away as if the wedding had happened no one in the show nor I the viewer would have been happy.
My Spring Day- This shoe seemingly has the mix of classicness and newness down I hope it continues to surprise me by being so awesome.
My Loveable Girl- Unlike My Spring Day it just feels old, though I still kind of liked the first week. However if it continues to just feel old it will probably go crazy fairly soon annoying me so much I have to drop it.
Blade Man- While watching episode 3 I felt like I was watching a completely different drama until the last 10-20 minutes, did that happen to anyone else? I haven't seen 4 yet.

I made the mistake of watching Blade Man with my husband--who walked out of episode #1, disgusted. I said, "Javabeans said episode 2 should have been the one the series started on." He looked at me like I was crazy. "Who's Javabeans?" (Saying it out loud didn't carry the respect I give her as I read this site.)
I think I'm going to have to watch it (if I continue to watch it) on the sly--like I'm an addict (yeah. I know. I am.) by myself, in the dark, under the blankets in the guest room, on my phone-----where I go to eat the expensive chocolate I sneak into the house.
