Hey, redfox! Eating corn chips and preparing for a beer tasting that I'll be moderating tomorrow. Also, keeping an eye out on OT! A text on light and darkness seems intriguing.

I am done! I have a workshop tomorrow, we are making lanterns, so I thought I´d collect some information on how light and darkness might have affected people of Scandinavia during viking age. Daylight hours, polar night, cod liver oil etc.. Perhaps Manin can give me additional information? (linguistic terms are much welcome) Did they really rub themselves with cod liver oil like some sources say, and would their actually be any benefit when you put it on your skin instead of eating it?

I even resisted the urge to watch a drama with my crush Lee Joon Hyuk. I did so well, right? Though the title (naked fireman - I am not even sure I should watch it... yet on the other hand....)

how is your endurance when it comes to not letting dramas interfere with important task (in %?)

also watching Hwarang just for Ban Ryu. I am routing so hard for him to take his fate into his own hands.
Missing 9 is so good. It has just the vibe I need. Cynicism, murky backstories, the lead actress is fantastic and I am looking at her the same way Joon Ho is at this point - total awe and respect mixed with surprise. Atta girl. Lee Seon Bin is also doing very good. Song Ok-Suk - hey ms No, stop giving me chills! On the other hand, don´t.

Re: endurance. I think it comes with time and/or age. When I first started watching k-dramas it was a craaaazy ride! Marathons, all-nighters, skipping work duties in favor of another episode. But with time I put my priorities straight and now I do everything that's necessary to do and only then do I turn on a drama to watch and unwind.

Howdy, redfox!

Late to the party, but at least I got here.

I've been away from OT for months now. Live-watching 4 shows at once -- a record for me -- took up all available time, since late August when MOON LOVERS started.

Anyway, when I saw your mention of light and darkness, and the topical application of cod liver oil, I had to drop you a note. As someone who notices minute changes in light and darkness, winter has been a challenging time of the year for me for much of my life. Being of Irish ancestry, I've got Vikings in the family tree, too, and am interested to learn how the people of old related to light and darkness.

I hope your class goes/went well. ;-)

Hi, PakanlanaPikake! Yes, I mean, I always do some research for my workshops, because they are kind of a "Hook" we use to tell people about history. but this time I am myself really intrigued by the question. If you think, only 5 hours of daylight during viking age with only a fireplace to compensate it (even candles and clay lamps were rare), then how did they cope? we are so used to switching lights on, we don´t even notice that it gets dark outside. we even talk about light pollution. there is too much of it.
Maybe they were less affected by lack of light than we are? Then again, people with viking ancestry have been found to suffer from conditions connected to lack of D-vitamin (it appears it affects people over many generations! Grandpa lived in dark cold north, and great-great-grandchildren get bad eyes or skin conditions!) That´s so mysterious. So there must still have been a physical effect, if not the psychological.

Hi, redfox!

Re: Vikings, cod liver oil, sunlight deprivation

In the 1930s, Canadian-born Weston A. Price, DDS, did field and lab research into sunlight, diet, and human health. His "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" is a landmark study of traditional diets among isolated populations around the world, including northern Europeans. He studied cod liver oil and vitamin D in great detail, and discovered seasonal mortality variations in sync with the content of vitamins A and what we now call K in the butterfat of dairy animals grazing on green grass. Sally Fallon's "Nourishing Traditions" is a terrific annotated reference that quotes his and others' research, and applies it in the kitchen.

Re: Vikings and sunlight

Five hours of daylight in winter in Viking times. No wonder I have always felt like hibernating for half the year. I think that's pretty much what people did back then. Make hay while the sun shines. Sleep when it's dark. Stay up later if the moon is bright on a cloudless night.

On the other hand, I cannot imagine what weeks or months of "midnight sun" is like. Do people living in those latitudes become manic from light overload / sleep deprivation?

Nowadays many of us are completely divorced from direct exposure to both sunlight and solar rhythms because of artificial lighting and staring at computer monitors (and Kdramas!) well into the night that flood our systems with unnatural frequencies of light. The health consequences of disrupted circadian rhythms are significant and well-documented.

I can attest that some frequencies and intensities of artificial lighting, especially fluorescent and LED, are nothing short of irritating and even painful. Give me good old tungsten-filament incandescent light any day. It's warm and yellowish, like the sun.

I use a nifty free application on my laptop called f.lux that modulates the blue spectrum to keep it in sync with daily and seasonal variations based on the user's latitude. It's the blue light (think of sunny skies in midsummer) that energizes us. But too much of a good thing can lead to insomnia, disrupted circadian cycles, etc.

It's hard for modern people to appreciate how profoundly life on earth changed when Thomas Edison unveiled his version of the light bulb in 1879. Humphry Davy was the first in 1802 with a battery-powered carbon-arc lamp. Other inventors followed. It was Edison's dogged R&D, and business acumen, that led to not only a viable incandescent bulb, but the widespread establishment of DC electric generating stations and distribution systems to power them. We'd still be illuminating with fire in the form of gas, candles, and kerosene if those three technological and commercial breakthroughs had not been achieved.

Humans evolved under sunlight for how many millions of years? But it's only been in the last 150 years that we've had the apparent option to ignore sunlight and its rhythms. We're all guinea pigs.

Just wanting to share some good memories with you guys, my sister and I went to Park Bogum's fanmeeting last week! and we went there in Hanboks, which resulted in him bowing to us during the hi-touch session! :P

Anyways, I've watched The Liar and His Lover, and i loved it. I didn't expect to like it that much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Now I'm both excited AND scared for the Korean remakes, please make it good!

P.S. Sato Takeru is so good looking! Not the most handsome actor I know, but definitely one of the most charming. His best works, anyone?

We first started bowing, as well as calling him "Jeonha", he was taken aback and smiled! He then said thank you and bowed to us in return! :D

He wore two outfits for the night. First outfit didn't really suit him - red blazer, red pants. 2nd outfit was much better - white shirt with black pants (though he was lovely in both :))

OMG! I love Satoh Takeru. He is such a versatile actor, and is different in every role he plays. His beat work is probably 'Tenno no Ryouriban' in my opinion, but I liked 'Tonbi' best (as a show/movie). Also enjoyed Bitter Blood, the Kenshin movies and Ryoumaden.

His not good works - Real and The Liar and his Lover.

Okay, you can tell I'm a fan of the man. Which do you think are his best works?

I agree about Sato Takeru! I fell for him as Rurouni Kenshin, so watch the trilogy if you haven't yet!

He was also great in the live-action film "Beck", along with Hiru Mizushima.

Oh, and the lovely Q10 is also a must-watch! It's only 9 episodes long, so you can quickly breeze through it.

January 20, 2017 at 6:05 PM

He was honestly the sweetest person ever! I was surprised that his fanmeeting went over 3 and a half hours, usually fanmeetings only last for like maybe 2 hours? and even after 3 and a half hours, he still did the hi-touch session! he's very genuine in his love for his fans :)

Rurouni Kenshin for sure. I liked him in Bloody Monday but he's a secondary character and not too prominent though he is involved in a subplot of his own. And if you want to see him as an utterly charming loser who becomes a superhero possessed by goofy monsters, you can check out Kamen Rider Den-O.

I followed Sato since Den-O too, the only Kamen Rider I watched bcs he and overall imajin are so adorkable!!

He is one of my fave J-actors along Kamenashi Kazuya and Shun Oguri. Oh and Yamazaki Kento too! I know Yamaken is super mainstream these days, but he has the skill so whatsoever.

Japan doesnt have much handsome actors. I mean, they are handsome in their own way, but not quite fitting beauty standard.

Meanwhile Sato and Yamaken's face are really manga-like. And has japan-esque vibe too. That's why they often get casted in live action.

I am sooooo proud!

I recently finished japanese drama Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto and morning drama Mare, both starring Yamazaki Kento.

SHGIK has 10 episodes and each is 1 hour length. The story is about a pattiserie who recently gets fired and ends up working in seaside restaurant owned by 3 handsome brothers. Cliche? Yes. But jdrama is good at turning cliche into something meaningful, unlike kdrama. It has beautiful sceneries too. And I love it because the lead guy fall in love first, just like in Kim Bokjoo.

Whereas Mare has 156 eps and each is 15 minutes length. The drama is about life of Mare, a girl who doesnt have dream due to her father's constant failures. One day, her family move to countryside village of which people are so warm and kind. From there, she begins to find her dream as pattiserie.

Mare has all what you seek in slice of life drama: it's about growing up, friendship, first love and broken heart, family matters, father-daughter relationship, finding dream and courage to live your dream, hitting rock bottom, marriage, responsibility, and how to deal the up and down in life ... Not only Mare herself, but also everyone around her. What I like the most is none in this drama is pure evil bitch. Totally recommended. Just bear with the episode, or you can skip some.

In other words, Yamaken dates two pattiseries hahaha!

I’m not sure whether anyone will be interested with this news, but I just couldn’t keep it to myself. The last ost had been released, the so-called never far away is actually round and round by Heize.

Never occur in my mind that the singer is the one that had a duet with Go Young-Bae for Jealousy Incarnate opening theme. Such a departure from her previous OST in which she sounds very cute and bubbly in it. See y'all in the recap thread as well.

Not enough of Seo Hyun Jin in RTDK, so I decided to rewatch King Daugher Su Baek Hyang! Maybe she should do sageuk for next project?
I also thinking to rewatch Tree Deep Roots next simply because of not enough of Han Suk Kyu too.

Still in the RTDK withdrawal, and the current airing drama not really attracted me except Voice. Gonna save Missing 9 for next few episodes before start it.

I think that was the role that pushed him into leading man status. I knew he was a good actor, but as young Sejong, he blew me away. The actor transition from the young to older version of the same character was one of the best. Oftentimes, there is a mismatch.

Ooooh, a fellow RDTK viewer and KDSBH fan! Yes! Every once in a while I go back and rewatch a episode or two for the feels and the gorgeous cinematography. My gateway sageuk. ;-)

I would love to see SHJ in another sageuk (but please, drama gods, not Joseon era, I've had my fill of those 50-pound hairpieces!) Would love to see her kicking butt with Jang Hyuk or LJG sometime -- in another feisty role like SBH. I need more kickass swordfighting in my life right about now, although I must say that I've been enjoying Gong Yoo's first foray into Goryeo.

RDTK withdrawal hasn't really set in yet. Maybe it won't, as I've started watching VOICE, and am enjoying it.

I've been edging closer to finally watching TREE WITH DEEP ROOTS, but have been wondering if it'd be better to see SIX FLYING DRAGONS FIRST. The prospect of Han Suk Kyu and Jang Hyuk in the same series... that ought to be good.

BLUE SEA and GOBLIN winding down.

I've succumbed to DB's Why You Should Watch CAN I HEAR YOUR HEART? and am up to episode 9.

Plan to live-watch REBEL (because Writer-nim is the author of KDSBH), and also Jo Hyun-Jae's upcoming series HOUSEWIFE DETECTIVE. I loved him as Crown Prince Myongnong and have missed him. Would love to see him in another sageuk, too.

Also looking forward to SAIMDANG, TOMORROW WITH YOU, and HONG GIL-DONG, which I'll try to sneak in before REBEL.

See you over at VOICE recaps. ;-)

Hi Everyone! ....... I hope you are all doing well today! Glad to see all of you in OT once again!

Watched this week:

Legend Of The Blue Sea - Is it odd that, at this point, if Lee Min-ho is not wearing a sweater of some kind, something just looks "off?"

Night Light - I've only watched up to episode 3, but Lee Se-jin should know by now how to follow directions. I know she's wondering what exactly her new employer is involved in, but that curiosity of hers is bound to get her in trouble.

Tree With Deep Roots - Prince Gwangpyeong!! I still can't believe I saw what happened, happen. ..... Oh and by the way, 4 more episodes left to watch and this drama still keeps getting better and better!

That's all for now. ....... Everyone take care and have a great Friday!

I love Jung Kyung Ho too!! But I found him in a reverse order! I watched OMHE because I love Jang Nara. At the beginning of the episode I was all like- "This is the hero? He looks so ordinary", but by the end of ep 1 I was eating my own words. I fell in love with him, and while waiting for new episodes of OMHE, I finished Falling for Innocence and Heartless City (Paksa Adil is love)!

Now I am looking forward to seeing him every week in Missing 9 :)

Wow. That is a lot in a month. That's fever at its highest level!

There's definitely no shortage of precipitation in SoCal for 2017! It's been raining so much since the new year!

Finally gave in and watched Descendants of the Sun - gotta say I liked it a lot to my surprise. Even hubby liked it. Sure it was like cotton candy with the beautiful scenery and people and no real substance, but I did enjoy the banter between all the characters and the bromance.

I prefer a manly man, but to be honest Yoo Shijin is manly to me - he takes care of his career, has charm and if you need him, he'll be there (even if he is off to duty, you know he will support you).
Somebody who treats their other half well and know what they want in life is just attractive to me.

I like your question!

My preferred type is definitely boyish- or what I like to call "pretty boys"- boyish with looks that border on being pretty, but totally in a masculine non effeminate way.

Off the top of my head the guys that fit this type (and float my boat) are:

Korean- Song Joong ki, Park Bogum, Ji Chang Wook, Nam Goong Min, Jang Geun Suk, Jang Hyuk (ok he isn't really "boy" but still, very good looking!)

Non Korean- Yang Yang, Aaron Yan, Yamapi, Wallace Huo, Wu Chun, Jerry Yan (when he was younger LOL)

He looks great in a tux, but for me he's the furthest thing from pretty boy.

About time to hate-welcome the new president. Let's see what kind of trolldom he will develop. As much as he has the foot-in-mouth disease he is also an astute businessman. So I think he will do much better than expected. Problem is "expectations have already hit bottom in most people's views". Turbulent period ahead. Aye aye captain.

Planning to watch - Signal and Heartless City - but their hype isn't doing much for me Because all of the much-talked and hyped shows disappointed me.

Happily watching - Flower Boy Next Door and Father I'll Take Care of You.

Q: How many of you like Tv dramas[from any country] where Animals play significant role?
A: I have tried 175+ Kdramas and most hardly had any animal presence. No love for cats. Dogs are always preferred except in j-doramas.

I'm re-watching Hidalgo now and remembered that Seul-gi likes Horses[ 2nd to last love]

re animals in dramas-

I didn't watch but Imaginary Cat starring YSH and his best feline friend is totally animal centric and if I remember correctly the reviews in the recaps here for the show were good.

Also the puppy that belonged to PSH's character in Doctors was the most ADORABLE thing ever. The BTS clips with it were also darn cute.

Heartless City is good for the first 8-10 episodes, after which it goes steadily downhill. Good acting and OST may help with the soldiering, but it's admittedly a tough slog from episode 11 onwards.

I call killers "human garbage". People who don't agree with your political or environmental views are simply called opponents. And many of them are your fellow commenters on this blog. Don't listen to fake news (most of the big names) and ask us, people who live here, if you have any questions. Will be glad to answer any. BTW: That's how we got "deplorable" name calling flying around in this country.

Governments aren't businesses, they run on different models. Governments do not exist to make profits businesses do at any cost possible. Also Donald Trump bankrupted several times as well as having countless number of lawsuits. Myth that he is a good business man because he could have invested his inital small investment of 1million(worth 5million adjusted to today's time) so lol

also we don't have to wait and see trump's appointees to his cabinets are indicative of the terrible policies, his promise of draining the swamp has gone down the drain, in what world does Ben Carson have the expertise to head HUD or Rick Perry to the Dept of Energy. I mean his administration also took down the white house LGBT pages and climate change. this normalization of a dangerous regime is outrageous and insulting to be honest because their policies will result in the death of a lot of people. the republicans steps to repealing aca without a proper replacement(DESPITE HAVE OVER 6 YEARS TO DO SO) is appalling and negligent. i mean we can also thank obama for enabling and advancing the infrastracture for mass deportations and an expanded state surveillance apparatus but trumps admnistration is very anti lgbt and wait and see???? look at indiana and how much pence screwed the state over through his draconian policies regarding healthcare and enabling the hiv outbreak in this state

moving into the dawn of a global fascist age, remember this quote "Evil thrives on apathy and cannot exist without it."

It's also translated to My Shy Boss which doesn't really change things. I honestly don't mind that they used introvert in the title. They wanted something that sounded nice and went with it. My problem is the same as you. It's the other characters which includes the female lead and the execution of the story.

I watched the first 2 episodes and wasn't quite feeling the drama. Yeon Woo Jin plays Hwan Gi really well. His subtle actions and facial expressions fully conveying his discomfort, distress and internal struggle. My only gripe with his character is as Ami has mentioned above, Hwan Gi comes off as having social phobia rather than being introverted. Maybe it's just a translation error and just us reading too much into the mismatched title. His scenes with Park Hye Soo are quite funny. Though is she really an extrovert or more of an in-your-face kinda personality.

As much as I love Oh Hae Young Again, it's a bit distracting to see a few of the cast members in this show and also a sorta similar background sounds. I end up being reminded of OHYA and inevitably comparing it to Introverted Boss which spoils IB for me. I wanna love the show for its own charm!

Still perhaps it's far too early to judge the drama. *spoiler* I'm super keen to find out what the secret is behind Hwan Gi's secretary's death (the first one).

The issue is not just with the director+writer's definition of introvert but even the extrovert. The heroine seriously isn't the ideal extrovert type and comes off as more hyper/disrespecting people's privacy.

I remember a few months ago, I complained about not having enough time to watch dramas. Now I'm struggling to fit them into my schedule. But it's great having these amount of dramas on my plate. I'm writing mini reviews on my LJ to practice on writing and here's a little preview:

Voice - So far, so good
Introverted Boss - Let see how long I can last before this triggers me
Hwarang - Give me more political drama and BanSoo
Missing 9 - Is it bloody? Is it funny? Is it serious?
Legend of the Blue Sea - Behind 3 episode but thank drama gods, it's ending
Goblin - If the drama ends with reincarnation, I'll feel cheated.

There are streaming sites available for Asian fans like VIU who have their own subtitles. But it still boils down to popularity and demand why such streaming sites exist.

I don't know many girl groups, but when you say "Oppa" I'm thinking of KMHM Yona. Everyone is her (his?) oppa.

Happy Friday! Glad we had a short week-it was tough to stay awake with the cold which just doesn't seem to go away. Now just about everyone around me has cold. :(
Bye Romantic Doctor Kim Sa Bu. Wish we have more doctors like you. Jin Kyung who played the nurse Oh Myung-sim in the show had an interview.[OSEN] Epilogue where a history between Oh Myung-him and Kim Sa bu was told had the highest ratings. "If you see the script, that part was attached as an epilogue. I guess it made an impact because it was the last scene for the viewers. I felt good. People told me if you eat the last part, it is same as you eat it all. As an actress' point of view, Oh Myung-sim felt like a little Kim Sa Bu. She is a person with firm professional belief. I could feel what the writer-nim wanted to say in this drama by the fact that real professionals' encounter in the past was told in the last scene. In addition to me appearing, I think it was the meaningful wrap up. I felt good. In the epilogue, there was a part I jumped up from my chair and yelled. That was my ad-lib. I did that to make her younger version consistent who was like "I yell if I get treated unfairly" and to make people realize her trait."

Jin Kyung is really good in whatever roles given to her.

I was surprised too, when I found this boy is still very very new in this kdramaland. His acting was not awkward and he acted well even around his sunbaenims. Looking forward to see him more.

I enjoy Hwarang with all funny moments, but it got more interesting with birth secrets. Seo Ye-ji(27) who plays princess Suk-myung in the show had an interview for her new movie 'Another Way' with Kim Jae-wook.
[star news] In the movie, she plays the female lead who lives hard life and decides to commit suicide accompanying Kim.

About working with co-stars, Seo said, "I am scared of being close to my partner actor. In cast of Go kyung-pyo(JI) who filmed together in 'Potato Star' 2013, I become close to him because we were close in the
show, but in the movie I had to share the pain with a stranger Kim Jae-wook oppa. We started to film only after we greeted each other... I am very shy of strangers, so I can't approach first. I approach
Sunbae-nim fine, but I can't make friends easily with people in my age group. I can become friends if they approach me first, but there are not many people like that. Because of my shy personality, there are
people who misunderstand me. But I can't pretend or play coy. I just try not to listen and remember misunderstanding comments."

Seo also talked about actors in Hwarang where she plays a princess. "Park Hyung-sik(Sammakjong) spoke banmal when we first met so I assumed he was same age, but I found he was one year younger than me.
Everybody is very nice and kind, but I can't join in their cheerfulness. Park Seo-jun oppa plays a role who is cold toward me. So I kept that emotion treating him coldly as well."

Btw the interview made an issue because PD Jo Chang-ho asked Seo to actually breathe in carbon monoxide from Yeontan(Yeontan is large coal briquettes used for cooking and home heating. The risk of carbon
monoxide poisoning was a major cause of death in coal-heated houses.) [The fact] Seo said "On the day doing the shoots, all staffs had a meeting without me, and director-nim asked me if I could actually inhale
coal briquettes gas. So I asked him "You don't mean I have to die now?" and he said "It will be nice if we can have real feeling and emotions when you actually inhale the gas." So Seo followed his suggestion and acted taking in the poisoning gas. "After we heated coal briquettes, I went into the car and I felt hell. Still even though I had hard time physically, I had serene state of mind. I felt like I was meeting with my death in peace."

(Yakes! then again I think an actor like Kim Myung-min(our beloved Anthony) would do the same thing for his acting)

HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!

So, I've been in a drama slump for months now... Slowly getting back and I'm so glad I chose to finally continue watching Doctor Romantic! Partially, errr no it is for a great part due to Master Kim himself- SWOOOON.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkPVJCgZxmM
This video is of course about Seo-jung and Dong-joo's romance, but in my universe doctor Kim aka Doctor Boo( ;-)) Yong-joo is the one that gets my head upside down. I didn't think I would come to admire Han Suk-kyu any more than I did but now I want to go as far as making a mv starring Master Kim being all brilliant, stern, and so dashing in his white coat! Je t'aime, aishiteru, sarang hamida!

On another note, the rise of the drama's ratings are totally awesome and reflect the quality of the episodes. YAAAAYYY
I'm at episode 18 and DREAD the end. I'm afraid I'll fall in a slump again due to some serious withdrawal symptoms. Hmpf

Good Morning everyone! Happy Weekend! I got home from school yesterday and realized I have the best homework ever for one of my classes:

Read these excerpts from the Dao De Jing and give us five things they teach about leadership.

Not even kidding, and there was at least one water metaphor in there! (Well, it's sorta known for that). I'm gonna have a good time.

Dramas:

Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim: It's oveerrrr?? Aww. I wrote a review... rant about everything I liked on my blog, but I will add one more thing here--now I'm sad for two reasons: it was a good drama... and a potential new guy friend is watching it (he's still on like ep. 6) and now we're not watching the same drama anymore. Maybe I can get him to start Voice... ^^

Voice: Holy Guacamole, batman! This show is terrifying! And I wasn't secretly super bitterly scared when they left the week without resolving the conflict... hey, they grabbed me for next week.

Princess' Man:... I need help. Is the angst worth it? Because they just killed his entire family, and I did look up the history and it doesn't end well. Do they spend the entire rest of the series (after ep 8) being angst-mad-in-love with each other? Because that makes my heart hurt. Is it worth it to continue? Because they're so cute when they're together! Also, thank you DB for the recommendation.

Hwarang: So I'm interestingly less invested in this after having seen Princess' Man and how epic it can be... but I still like it as a light, fun watch.

Legend of the Blue Sea: I'm an episode behind on this one (I know! I did watch the first bit raw to see if she would be ok) because I had no time yesterday--well, I had time I was just watching other, more fulfilling things... like Healer. Again.

Healer: Lol I'm so happy to be watching this again--because I got my best friend to watch it with me! Hahaha it's so much more fun squeeing over Bong-soo when you have a friend next to you doing the same thing.

Goblin:Whyyyyyyy are you goooooonnnne?! I really hope you don't get reincarnated. Just come back.

That's it! Happy Friday, everyone, may the force be with you and may you be one with the force! Or peace and long life, live long and prosper--whichever way you run. ^^

Happy friday everyone! Still trying to squeeze time to watch dramas even though school has already started, but I'm glad I've made some progress this week.

Solomon's Perjury: I'm being suspicious of Ji Hoon lately for some reason...

Master: God of Noodles - I had been watching this for the past week, and I'm sad to say that I've dropped it after episode 6. The story got me all confused but even after 6 episodes I wasn't hooked. Also accidentally read a spoiler :(

Amachan: After around 2 months, I've finally finished my very first asadora! Amachan was really really fun and right now I'm having major withdrawal symptoms :( Jejeje I didn't expect to be so attached to this show. Now I'm on the hunt for my next asadora, anybody got any recommendations? Preferably something not too serious and set in modern times.

Voice: Just finished the second episode, and right now it has the potential to be my new favourite drama. It's so intense, I can barely wait for the next episode.

I love dailies because they become part of one's morning habits, a way to start the day off (for those of us in the West.) But over the years I've gotten very careful because well, dailies can be grueling stuff.

So when the two new KBS dramas popped up "Still Loving You" and "First Love Again."

"First Love Again" is absolutely feral. It feels lurid and relentlessly grim and dark. And not in a good way! Hey, grim and dark can be good but...somehow the grimdark didn't grab me. "Still Loving You" aka "Radiant Eunso" aka "Bitnara Eunso" is just a perfect blend of lightness, family love, normalcy, humor, Kdrama coincidence, kdrama moral tale, and suspense. But it's a different kind of suspense. We all know villainess Bitna is going to get her comeuppance but wow, the way the writers have written her, we feel for her and hate her at the same time. She is so privileged that she has no understanding about not getting her way, or the sorrows involved in the consequences of actually getting her way. And heroine Eunso is just the perfect Candy, a good person with a heart of gold and spunk. Oh my gosh, I love this drama! My new discoveries are Kim Dong-Joon (heroine's soon-to-be-boyfriend) and Yang Mi-Kyeong (heroine's mother)! But Park Ha-Na is absolutely nailing it as the villainess Bitna! Love, love, love this drama.

My other drama like is Voice. I don't love it as much as I love "Still Loving You" but I like Lee Ha Na a lot and she is doing a great job. Jang Hyuk is good as well but he has a few drama tics (that laugh of his has got to go!) that I'm kinda tired of.

I'm avoiding Goblin until the end. I seem not to be dealing well with kdrama angst nowadays. So i'll skip the angst stuff.

Same alas can be said for Our Gab Soon. The angst in this show was relentless and kinda steam-rolled me. Normal angst in a family show is one thing but then everything just got so over-the-top bad and in a weird kind of stasis where there is no sense of movement in the characters or the plot.

Missing 9 is okay. Great filming but somewhat unbalanced in its tone. The humor and the suspense don't quite mix. Shy Boss felt like it was going to tread over the same ole drama territory so I'm waiting for his right-hand man to take over his company.

Am awaiting our Time Travel drama although am not a fan of Shin Mina. Will see how it turns out.

January 20, 2017 at 8:24 AM

i just wanna say that i started hwarang for park seo joon and hyunsik but here i am totally in love with ban ryu as a character and do ji han. i didnt know who he was before this but now im like where has he been all this time, i wasnt expecting to be so taken by him. i love how his arc is unfolding, cant wait to see where it goes + him and sooyeon are just too cute, their chemistry is awesome. definitely an actor im gonna keep my eye on

Happy Friday everyone! I was just thinking how funny it would've been if Donald Trump's inauguration happened on a Friday the 13th instead. OK juvenile, I know.

Anyways, I'm so happy to report that I've been diligently following up with my new year resolution of watching more dramas/movies!

1) Recently picked up Signal which is sooo good.

2) The Voice! The first 2 episodes were a little bit repetitive with both ending in a cliffhanger and Jin Hyuk banging down the wrong door. BUT GOLDEN TIME TEAM replete with a super hearing female lead so I'm sticking with Show.

3) Introverted Boss... Fast forwarded a few scenes...

4) Bookmarked Police Unit 38 and Six Flying Dragons! And planning to start right after I finish Signal.

5) does Goblin and WFKBJ count? since they started in 2016

What is everyone else watching or planning to watch? Any drama backlog clearing happening? :)

I promised to myself that I would just "drop by" DB because I have a lot of case readings to do. I ended up reading recaps, read comments, and even posted one myself. Hahaha. Happy Friday, beanies!

Shows that are keeping me sane these days:

1. Goblin - I sacrificed a lot of sleep for this show. A lot. And tears too.

2. Lobster - Even though I'm not entirely all on the OTP's chemistry, I decided to stick around. Because, you know, Lee Min Hoo. Yeah, him.

3. Hwarang - Oh my Silla boys. Stay pretty.

4. RDTK - I marathoned the last 4 episodes in the wee hours of the morning. Did not regret it one bit. Eyebags and all.

5. Missing 9 - I hope my arithmetic is not as bad as my memory of remembering names but I'm pretty sure there are more than 9 people on that plane. This show is giving me the Lost vibe. I hope it won't disappoint. Did I just jinx it?

6. Introverted Boss - I have issues with the female lead character. She's obnoxious!

That's it for now. Now, back to my readings. Have a great weekend, beanies!

Happy Friday Beanies!

So this week I've been living in Doldam Hospital - yes, it was marathon week for Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim. I'm glad I decided to save this one for a marathon because some of those cliffhangers would have driven me nuts if I had to wait.

I'm so sad it's over, I actually really enjoyed it more than I thought and can TOTALLY see why it got all the hype! It's beautifully written, the acting is very very good and I like how "human" it was. A lot of medical drama's tend to shift towards the romances/relationships and sacrifice good medical operations and scene but I have to say, this was the opposite, which I loved!

I'm deciding what to watch next. I'm already watching Hwarang and Goblin, but like to have a show to marathon while waiting for new episodes of ongoing ones.

And not to mention the chemistry between hottest onscreen Thai couple Aom-Mike is no joke. The drama itself has loooots of main couple scenes and only little portion of second annoying female bitch.

Oh. Beside Full House, Aom-Mike act in Kiss Me too (Thai remake of Itazura na Kiss). So cuuuute.

Hi, again.

Thank you to everyone who replied last week @michykdrama @fan @stuffed @yukari @Klurker @Mermaid Scribbler @CatoCat @Bee @redfox @bbstl @Bad Cheese Cheddar @ GedSkaiKru

I didn't feel down when I posted about it. But throughout the week the comforting messages helped.

I got through Tuesday, the death anniversary, ok. Now the gloom is starting to lift off. Long-term grieving is odd because it can affect you for a day, not affect you for months, then affect you for weeks. It's odd.

But my family hung out. Which was nice because even though there are only 6 people in the house we don't often spend evenings together. My oppa brought us yeodongsaengs Chinese food. My sister-in-law had a class. He was in their room but the door was open. My sisters, nephew and I had quiet evening in. We didn't talk about her. That wasn't the point. But it was nice to see sibling life carrying on 13 years later.

More than being our mom, she witnessed us being together and it continues even without her present. So for me, her anniversary hangs over me and makes me extra depressed. My therapist says it's because I had someone die at 5, 7, and then my mom at 8. So death was very real to a young girl, unusually so. And as an young adult with suicidal ideation 365/24/7 since I was born, it makes Dec/Jan difficult.

But once the day hits, it reminds me of how much I've still got with me. Next year, I'll be with my aunt instead of the whole family. However, my nephew will be old enough to understand video calls and will be speaking. And hopefully I'll be closer to my sibs after several months apart. Away from the evil town.

Oh, yeah. I hate my hometown. At the moment and it's not logically. Logically I love it. It's beautiful. But just being alone on the street I've walked for 18 years upsets my year-round depression. My therapist has a theory that my brain shuffles the good memories aside and focuses on the bad. So I've challenged myself to see places and dwell on the good.

Moving will help a lot. Saying goodbye to me 1.0 and hello to me 2.15 (joke because I'll be almost 21.5 years old when I move)

Roll into town step off the bus,
Shake off the where you came from dust - Jason Aldean

Old boots, new dirt, no reminders
I've got a feeling this town will get me over her
You've been through what I've been through man
Nothing feels better than old boots, new dirt

There's a thousand faces, I ain't seen before
The only history that I can see is from a civil war
It's good for me to look around
And go down roads she ain't been down
No memories of our used to be's, set me free

Well I'm separating my OT post into 2 parts for the number count. Below is my media and my rambles about what I watched and plan to watch.

Hey,

I always thought you were a guy and in late 30s but turns out I'm the Hyung here. I have some experience of depressive weeks. My mom always says, "she can't understand my personality". Childhood Trauma leaves a big impact on your life.

I can't stomach physical violence or scary stuff and the possible reason given by my mom was that i saw verbal and physical aggression or adults.

There were days after days when i followed all the routine and even watched positive stuff still i couldn't find where this tiredness and sadness was coming from. Whenever i was lonely i felt depressed but as soon as i had something to do i felt all emergiesed and broke the cirlce of depression.Well, everyone has their own state of mind. But distracting yourself does works good. That's where you need to be a realist or this seasonal depression will continue for many more years.

No matter the pain i suffered i always wished for a long healthy life. No negative social environment was able to change my views of life. This is why i find it hard to understand how come someone have suicidal thoughts and tendencies.

There is so much to see and experience in life and you must never let the hunger die. Still Water stinks and is source of diseases. So one shouldn't be bound to memories alone.

I think FantastiC was the best choice for you in dec/jan - Joon Ki is inspiring Character

Ok, so like I was totally against Jane being of African descent. Like, no! Tarzan is already adopted. But I like her. And her voice actress totes seems like the love child of the fabulous Cree Summers/Tara Strong. And Tarzan not liking being home as John was emotional and amazing, probably because it's 6 am and I've been up all night but whatev's. I can't wait to see what these 2 get into and when they get together. I mean they are only 15. Though the crushing on cartoons is still a thing I do.
Star Trek:The Original Series - next ep 4
I have a month before I leave. I want to finish rewatching this one &
• ST: The Movie
• TAnimatedS
• ST2:Wrath of Khan
• ST3: Search for Spock
• ST:The Next Gen
Before February 20th. Then I can watch the rest for the first time after I move. I don't know about the movies that I have seen before but starting there might give me a bit of familiarity in a unfamiliar place.

Movies:
Alice through the Looking Glass - fun watch. I thought Netflix added the prequel so I was slightly disappointed but always good to see the Hatter.
The Swap - halway. It's a DCOM. I'm watching with my sister and 9 month old nephew so we get bits at a time. It is hilarious! ???

Music:
Three Days Grace - didn't finish their discography yet.
Grease OST - loved it. Especially the full Sandra Dee reprise. Helped me understand the story more.

I was super behind on watching LOTBS and then I was away for a week so I'm even more behind, so my question might be answered in the episodes I haven't watched (I'm up to 16) and I also don't know if this has been asked in the comment threads of the episodes,

BUT!
Does anybody have any theories as to why Tae Oh and Nam Doo are not in the Past Timeline?

So I have been waiting for a goblin ost ever since the goblin and grim reaper catwalk their way to say euntak. I searched everywhere for it. And It's finally out today, and it's nothing like I image ㅠㅠㅠ Don't know what to make of it: take a listen and let me know what you ? Think

First reaction: Finally!!! It's here!
Second reaction: Oh, I see what you mean... Hmmm. Youtube comments suggest the opening theme was not intended to be part of the soundtrack but became so popular that they got someone else to continue after 0:50. Maybe that's why it sounds kind of weird?

To be honest I was pretty excited with that song. Part of it because, Ailee OST got no. 1 in gaon chart recently (? phew … finally the first goblin OST that able to do so) so I put my hope up that it might be the second song from goblin that able to follow “I will go to you like the first snow” footstep.

But then I adjust my expection to consider the fact that not many full length english song by korean singer do well in major korean charts and I’m not sure how the producer planned to extend the song that felt complete. So I had kept my expectation low so I’m not disappointed when it had been released.

Anyway, I appreciate the producer decision to make it into a full length OST as it is good for both singers as both Han Soo Ji and Heize is relatively new in the OST market. But got to say that the instrumental piece for that song is so good, I think it’s even good enough to be a bgm for top tier game like Final Fantasy? Sorry if it seems that I give it too much credit.

Hi there.

Hope you're keeping warm or cool depending where you are.

Enjoyed the end of Naked Fireman, the first 2 episodes of Introverted Boss and Laurel Tree Tailors this week.

Would love for more people to give Introverted Boss a go.
