I don’t know who or even when I saw this post, but I went to my local Korean grocer for wonton wrap and came out with this (almost forgetting what I can in for)! Had to go back in after this pic!
Oh my goodness, you purchased one of the Beanie-mentioned melona ice bars! It’s the whole Beanie Provisions situation!
Certain food items that our fellow Beanies like are being mentioned on the wall, ice bars being the latest I think, hence, Beanie Provisions. ….. It’s apparently now a thing. 😊
Well, see… I posted a mini rant about the wastage of Melona bars in Strongest Deliveryman, and now all these Beanies are buying them and starting said Beanie Provisions… 😛 hehehe
Yeahp… hahaha
I DON’T KNOW. IT’S A TRAVESTY I TELL YOU. BUT. THEY WERE DROPPED. ON THE GROUND. I mean sure 5 sec rule maybe… but… I don’t think even I’d eat a melona bar after it was dropped on a random street in Seoul… 😛
(Seoul doesn’t have the cleanest streets lol)
Omg guys, just had a watch party for Temp of Love premiere and come back to DB with 12 notifs! Just for this yummy ice cream bar! I had zero intention of buying it–just happened to see it in the case, remembered seeing a post here, and now I’m hooked! Beanie provisions indeed! Hahaha???
I’ve always seen this but never tempted to buy until I read @sicarius post. I’m quite allergic to melon flavored stuff so if I love this, it’s really the beanie effect.
My dad is too, but his is because he’s allergic to ragweed and it’s cross reactive to melons. He could probably take an antihistamine and tolerate it. Or cook it which would denature the protein. Some people are actually allergic to the Melin itself though. My great aunt is deathly allergic to jack fruit! I’m sorry to hear that! My husband says he can make these with other fruits and condensed milk. We’re going to try to make some later!
I didn’t know there’s actually allergies to these fruits. Mine isn’t that strong, they just make me kinda nauseous. I can’t tell if I am just adverse to the smell and taste or it’s that particular artificial flavor that I am allergic to.
Was looking for gifs to send to family and happened upon this little treasure…it’s hump day! Two more days ’til the weekend and my mom coming to town! Yay!
And, coincidentally, it’s my sister-in-law’s 4th anniversary today, who was the first person who recommended Coffee Prince to me! And this is me and hubby wishing her a Happy Anniversary! ?
He just sent some pics of the food that he had on first class…Oh my word. And he just had some braised pork (similar to Let’s Eat 2) and I’m so jealous right now!
Oh wow, how fantastic! And how nice of him to share some pics with you! …… It’s not often you hear of a pleasant trip beginning with the flight itself, it’s usually afterwards, after dealing with airline nonsense of one kind or another. But it sounds like things have been wonderful on Korean Air! *taking note and saving more pennies for my 1st class flight to South Korea*
Didn’t I just say this? And now I wish I would have screen-capped more of TLAHL, just for him. But I guess now I know why he despises surgeons. #hospitalship
I am glad that Chan-young is getting a seemingly solid backstory and hoping for good character development throughout the show. It will be fun to see how this show deal with eastern vs western medicine compared to Live Up to Your Name.
OK, these two are going to be the death of me…look how earnest Mr. Dentist is–and way over his head. LOL! Im more invested in them than I am the rest of the story, TBH. #hospitalship #bromance
So, the 13 year age difference on Hospital Ship between the OTP’s and @Jrr ‘s comment on her fan wall made me wonder if I was cast as the heroine, who would play my love interest? Be prepared to swoon…I’ve never been a fan of noona romances, until just now. Who’s the other half of your OTP?
LOL no 😂 Sorry wasn’t being clear. These guys aren’t even born on the same year 😂 13 years my junior would be someone even younger than Yeo Jin Goo. That donsaeng 13 years my junior would still probably be in high school 😂😂😂
well, 13 years younger? I get Nam Joo Hyuk then. I can´t find any guys born in 1994. But I could be friends with Chae Soo Bin and Lee Sun Bin if we go for girls
Ahjumma reporting here!! Yes I hit the jackpot too 😂😂 – mine is 1987 and my goodness, when I googled that year, that is an excellent year! I have a slew of choices and my top three in order of preference of course is Seo In Guk, Chang Ji Wook and Lee Seung-gi. Special mention would include Lee Min-ho, Joo Won, Jung Il-woo 😄😄
Whoa! That’s quite a list! I didn’t realize Seo In Guk was as old as those other actors. Maybe it’s because he hasn’t been acting as long? However, I think he outshines all those others and I would choose him first as well! Well done!
I found Park Jin-Young for you too! He played the younger version of Lee Min-Ho’s character in Legend of the Blue Sea. He was also adorable in My Love Eun Dong (the first kdrama I ever saw)! And Nam Joo Hyuk!!! Not too shabby!
Um… Because I don’t fancy 13 year olds, I found actors 13 years older, instead of younger, (I know this completely defeats the whole noona romance thing) my choices are pretty good😍: Namgoong Min, Ki Tae-young, Yoon Kye-Sang, Eun Ji-Won and Joo Sang-Wook
Well, one day, those 13 year olds will be like Yoo Jin Goo, then you’ll have your noona romance! That boy grew up to be way hotter than he should have. Great choices! Which one would you choose?
Oh dear, I don’t think 13 years younger would be legal for me lol. 13 years older is too much of an age-gap for me too, however I’m very inclined to be an OTP with Kim Sung-oh.
🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻indeed! 13 years is such a huge age difference which is why I started wondering–cuz I’m old! Really, this game only works for ahjummas! Anyone under 30 will have to wait a few years, 😝.
haha! i can’t do noona romances of 13 years difference too coz the boy will only be in middle school now LOL!
but if i go with 13 years older than me, i could have Yeon Junghoon , Joo Sangwook, Kim Kangwoo, Yoon Kyesang, Ha Jungwoo & Namgoong Min! WOOOOOOOOOOO~
Weee your choices are all yummm especially those two *uknowwho*
I can’t find mine was hoping Yoon Chan-young and Nam Da-reum would fit the 13 years but turns out I need even younger☹
I was very surprised! Yep, after I saw TKL lastnight, I thought, “how does HJH do so much with just his eyes?” I was mesmerized. Still working on getting through White Christmas too. Think I’ll have to download it and watch it on the way to Canada!
Now, this was a travesty! Omma!! Come back with the bag full of kimchi and other Korean sustenance! I’m overworked, eating stale bread! If my mom did this to me, I’d never speak to her either.
You wouldn’t talk to your mom if she brought you this much food? 🙁 Could you explain what you mean?
I was so touched by this little side story. Watching the mom and her love for the selfish rude daughter, my heart totally went out to her.
I was too curious, so made an excuse and watched the rest of this episode. So, she didn’t leave the food! And then she has a heart attack? Why didn’t she leave the food, give it to her daughter–at least put it in the break room? So, some glaring common sense things, not even medical inaccuracies (although I saw no less than a half dozen of these) that should have happened that didn’t. Any mother would have left the food—especially after seeing their daughter not eating well. (Maybe I just feel too strongly about Korean food and kimchi. 😳) You really have no idea how upset I was she didn’t give her the food! The daughter is a brat, though, I agree. But I sympathize with her too—overworked, probably stayed up all night taking her chief’s shift—but I keep coming back to the food. 😂
She even went through the trouble of following her daughter all the way to the lunch area/cafeteria. In my head I was like, just give it to her even if she gives you lip! But then I thought, yeah, this needed to play out that way to get her out of the hospital. Will/have you watch(ed) ep 2?
Hahaha. I can sense how hard it might be handling the children. My sister has two and watching them is like managing tornadoes. 😜😅 ABout mom, oh yeah she didn’t leave the food with her. I guess she was too upset and I felt it was natural since the daughter was so rude with her. She didn’t even let mom finish her sentence and it must have hurt her a lot. I guess mom didn’t leave the food since the doctor told her never to come to her workplace with patients and her word choices were a bit harsh. :'( Haha, I didn’t honestly think of the food until you mentioned it. I was so angry with the doctor at that time, that her food choice didn’t catch my attention :P. Probably what I felt was that she has enough money to buy whatever food she likes, so serves her right. But lol yeah, I was being biased towards mom of course. 😄
I feel like I need to employ a kdrama trope of having a terminal illness in order to be able to watch all the dramas I\’m collecting…
Old Dramas to watch:
Soulmate (Shin Dong Wook)
Worlds within (bts of dramas)
Life is beautiful (63)
I remember you (PBG)
King2Hearts (Lee Seung-gi)
Marriage not dating
Forest of secrets
Seven day queen
In progress dramas:
White Christmas
Man x Man
I need romance 3
Lets eat
The king loves
Hospital ship
New dramas to watch:
Temperature of love
Mr.Sunshine (Yoo Yeon suk)
Four men (Park Hae Jin)
You who forgot poetry
Lets eat 3
Movies to watch:
King and Clown
Age of Shadows
Coin Locker Girl
Oh! And I still have to watch the last 2 episodes of the most recent season on Sherlock. So I was lamenting about that to a patient today who does have a terminal illness and watches Netflix during her iv treatments. I know, confirming I’m a horrible person, but we had a good laugh.
Hahhah! God! The patient was a good sport about it!
Sherlock is one of my many favourites (First 2 episodes of IRY reminded me of Sherlock S1 and hence the initial love- rest you can just chalk up to my love for SIG)
It helped that she’s a Sherlock fan too and we fangirled over Benedict Cumberbatch for half her appointment! She’s chastised me into watching the rest of the season before she comes back for follow up so we can talk about it! Yes, she’s a cool girl, and doing really well, so although I wouldn’t normally take such a departure in an appointment, it was the end of a tough day (I just sent the prior patient to the hospital by ambulance) and we both needed to decompress.
But you know I am sure talking about things one loves is a good therapy. Many of us on DB feel good because we are able to talk about our likes and dislikes. And I am with her, you NEED to watch Sherlock! It is brilliant! Though, I don’t like the possibility that we won’t get any more seasons! :/
Yup! Quite similar in style. Remember all those messages that we would see on screen in Season 1 of Sherlock? And the way we were shown how his mind works? There was a quite a lot of that in the first few episodes of IRY… I guess the burden of live shooting was too much for it to continue later. But then the story was way too interesting even without that, so I didn’t mind. But a good way to increase interest initially.
I’ve got another movie for your consideration: DUELIST. Kang Dong-won and Ha Ji-won in the most gorgeous tango with swords you could imagine. It’s based on the same manhwa as DAMO.
Actually, I’ve got a couple of posts in the above thread. One extra-juicy tidbit: I was tickled to discover Amogae in LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. He gets a lot of screen time, too. Rawr. 😉
That looks gorgeous! Looks like a great one for date night! I looked at the review by thundie. I feel like I have my own personal filmographer! Thanks again.
I’m already jumping ahead a couple of years, to the first day of kindergarten ….. when they go around the room, doing introductions, asking your name ….. “Just call me Oppa. That’s all you need to know.”
The look on everyone’s face, especially if there a couple of parents hanging around.
Haha, yes, because @korfan got me imaging a lil’ baby going around introducing themself as “Oppa.” And you mentioned that Messi quote! Haha, sure! I look forward to seeing ’em. ‘Oppa’ can be used between siblings, too. 🙂 that’s what some little sisters would call their older brothers, but I’m sure you knew that. 🙂
Yes, I knew about about older brothers. There was another page of discussion about that I didn’t include here. Lol. AS and I were explaining it to my other SIL who was misunderstanding it and thinking it was a predatory term between much older men and young girls! I would have, but only 5 pics can be posted at a time and I wanted the “just call me oppa’s” pic included! 😂

(Maybe I just feel too strongly about Korean food and kimchi. 😳) You really have no idea how upset I was she didn’t give her the food! The daughter is a brat, though, I agree. But I sympathize with her too—overworked, probably stayed up all night taking her chief’s shift—but I keep coming back to the food. 😂

She even went through the trouble of following her daughter all the way to the lunch area/cafeteria. In my head I was like, just give it to her even if she gives you lip! But then I thought, yeah, this needed to play out that way to get her out of the hospital. Will/have you watch(ed) ep 2?
Ally

No going to tonight. Busy weekend! I don’t know if I can keep up with his one and The King Loves! Two live shows is the limit for me.

Yup, it’s pretty tough to juggle multiple live shows. I wouldn’t put this on the front burner though, at least no yet.

Hahaha. I can sense how hard it might be handling the children. My sister has two and watching them is like managing tornadoes. 😜😅 ABout mom, oh yeah she didn’t leave the food with her. I guess she was too upset and I felt it was natural since the daughter was so rude with her. She didn’t even let mom finish her sentence and it must have hurt her a lot. I guess mom didn’t leave the food since the doctor told her never to come to her workplace with patients and her word choices were a bit harsh. :'( Haha, I didn’t honestly think of the food until you mentioned it. I was so angry with the doctor at that time, that her food choice didn’t catch my attention :P. Probably what I felt was that she has enough money to buy whatever food she likes, so serves her right. But lol yeah, I was being biased towards mom of course. 😄

I just wrote an essay on why food is so important to us doctors on the recap, so yeah, I might have an unhealthy preoccupation with food! ?

Wow! That’s a lot O_0
You can take out Mr. Sunshine I guess. I heard it is not being made anymore? Or something along those lines.
Ally
August 30, 2017 at 10:07 PM
Oh! And I still have to watch the last 2 episodes of the most recent season on Sherlock. So I was lamenting about that to a patient today who does have a terminal illness and watches Netflix during her iv treatments. I know, confirming I’m a horrible person, but we had a good laugh.
ObsessedMuch
August 30, 2017 at 10:40 PM
Hahhah! God! The patient was a good sport about it!
Sherlock is one of my many favourites (First 2 episodes of IRY reminded me of Sherlock S1 and hence the initial love- rest you can just chalk up to my love for SIG)
Ally
August 31, 2017 at 4:43 AM
It helped that she’s a Sherlock fan too and we fangirled over Benedict Cumberbatch for half her appointment! She’s chastised me into watching the rest of the season before she comes back for follow up so we can talk about it! Yes, she’s a cool girl, and doing really well, so although I wouldn’t normally take such a departure in an appointment, it was the end of a tough day (I just sent the prior patient to the hospital by ambulance) and we both needed to decompress.
ObsessedMuch
August 31, 2017 at 6:01 AM
But you know I am sure talking about things one loves is a good therapy. Many of us on DB feel good because we are able to talk about our likes and dislikes. And I am with her, you NEED to watch Sherlock! It is brilliant! Though, I don’t like the possibility that we won’t get any more seasons! :/
Are you a counselor?
Ally
August 31, 2017 at 7:55 AM
No, just a doctor. I’m honored to hear that someone might think I have the emotional IQ to be a counselor though! I do not envy those people.
Ally
August 31, 2017 at 4:44 AM
Really? About IRY? I guess it should go up my watch list!
ObsessedMuch
August 31, 2017 at 6:05 AM
Yup! Quite similar in style. Remember all those messages that we would see on screen in Season 1 of Sherlock? And the way we were shown how his mind works? There was a quite a lot of that in the first few episodes of IRY… I guess the burden of live shooting was too much for it to continue later. But then the story was way too interesting even without that, so I didn’t mind. But a good way to increase interest initially.

Aloha, Ally…
I’ve got another movie for your consideration: DUELIST. Kang Dong-won and Ha Ji-won in the most gorgeous tango with swords you could imagine. It’s based on the same manhwa as DAMO.

Actually, I’ve got a couple of posts in the above thread. One extra-juicy tidbit: I was tickled to discover Amogae in LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. He gets a lot of screen time, too. Rawr. 😉
Enjoy!
Ally
September 7, 2017 at 5:45 PM
That looks gorgeous! Looks like a great one for date night! I looked at the review by thundie. I feel like I have my own personal filmographer! Thanks again.

You’re most welcome! Thank @keiru for making me think of it. Truly stunning. I’m getting the urge to rewatch it again. Manseh, Sad Eyes! 😉
Oh, yeah, one other surprise: Woo Hee-Jin, who played the tragic Court Lady Oh in MOON LOVERS, is also in LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.

I’m already jumping ahead a couple of years, to the first day of kindergarten ….. when they go around the room, doing introductions, asking your name ….. “Just call me Oppa. That’s all you need to know.”
The look on everyone’s face, especially if there a couple of parents hanging around.
*laughing*
Ally
August 28, 2017 at 4:51 AM
Can you imagine? All the little kindergarteners saying “Oppa?” The most adorable thing, him and his posse of K(inder) fangirls following him around!
korfan
August 28, 2017 at 5:04 AM
Oppa will need an entourage.
You know, for crowd control at the playground.
Ally

The other thing he could say is “Do you like Messi?” Cuz he has future soccer star written all over this picture!

Lawl, “Just call me Oppa.”
Ally
August 28, 2017 at 10:59 AM
Are you still laughing at this??? 😆 I just sent his mom some examples of girls calling guys “oppa” in Korean dramas, I should start posting them. Lol!
chingu
August 28, 2017 at 11:05 AM
Haha, yes, because @korfan got me imaging a lil’ baby going around introducing themself as “Oppa.” And you mentioned that Messi quote! Haha, sure! I look forward to seeing ’em. ‘Oppa’ can be used between siblings, too. 🙂 that’s what some little sisters would call their older brothers, but I’m sure you knew that. 🙂
Ally
August 28, 2017 at 12:15 PM
Yes, I knew about about older brothers. There was another page of discussion about that I didn’t include here. Lol. AS and I were explaining it to my other SIL who was misunderstanding it and thinking it was a predatory term between much older men and young girls! I would have, but only 5 pics can be posted at a time and I wanted the “just call me oppa’s” pic included! 😂
chingu
August 28, 2017 at 1:45 PM
Omo. Hahaha, no no no. Although there are times when guys in K-drama act way too excited when they’re called “oppa.” Haha.
