I'm waiting for Pinocchio recap but we can celebrate just a little bit longer. Maybe we should have some beaners get together in LA?

Thats awesome news and im glad for all the people work hard to make DB this good.

Dramabeans is also important outside American marketplace for the people who create Korean culture like dramas,films because us International fans outside US go from DB to licensed streaming sites.

Congratulations on the award! It must feel very rewarding to have put in so much work over the years, and have so many people, including professionals in the creative arts fields, in business, people in Korea and the KCCA notice the contributions this blog makes to spread Korean culture. I am absolutely NOT surprised, and in fact for some reason, this week, I was thinking about how DB really does a lot to help spread Korean culture.

Thank you for the many recaps written here, but also for taking the time to explain those cultural and language details that might be lost on many of us, and that have often left me puzzled. I still remember an experience I had, when I was watching 7LCS. As I read the recap for ep.8, I was very glad to see this sentence, written by JB, "He asks why she took so long to come to him. As in, why’d she deny her feelings for so long?"

That sentence was very important to me (at the time), because when I had watched the ep. (with English subs), and I had read that comment (subtitled) made by GR , my very first thought had been, "what do you mean, why did she take so long to come to you? She is right now walking by your side." I had taken what GR had said literally, and I didn't understand what he meant, since they were both walking side by side, when he said it. After reading that sentence (in the recap), and thinking about it for a few minutes, the sentence totally made sense (then) to me. It (then) made sense to me that in opening one heart's to someone, and in confessing one's love to someone, one IS "going to the other person," since the person doing the confessing is not as (emotionally) distant or as far away as s/he might have been before (confessing).

My mind was opened that day, and I thought how interesting it was that even though expressing oneself in that way totally made sense in a Korean context, it would sound very weird (and would not work) in French, for example (if said literally). And that to me is one of the many beauties of languages: one has to know about the culture (where that language is spoken), and its peoples. It makes me ponder, it sends me back to the different languages I speak, it makes me analyze my mother tongue, and question at times why we say what we say, and how we say it. In so doing, I find myself learning more about other cultures, and about my own.

Congatulation ajummas!!!!!
