Definitely Key too! Dunno about Hoon though, that current hair looks kind of funny 😛 I feel like going to SK just to tell the stylist to do their job properly, while at the same time feeling awed that they managed to make him look weird LOL, cause that’s no small feat!

Oh definitely! How you wear your clothes can mean more than what you wear.

Lol I was fine with the perm, though didn’t find it great either, but now it’s all straight and with the weird highlights and it just looks funny 😛

Haha yep he is! And it suits him sooo well O.O

I mean, he’s a goodlooking guy, so it can’t be that hard to find a good hairstyle for him, right?

Yeah, it’s mostly when he’s got it down and with the 50-50 parting lol. Part drama villainess, part 90s idol 😛

Exactly 😉 And well, they’re the same company after all, so who knows, maybe it’s a tribute to his hyung haha 😛

What I particularly loved? Mino boasting about being good at table tennis because he is the best among his members at it and then other people’s automatic reaction that showed Mino had no chance in hell at winning.. loved the tiny glimpses of Winner members and their bad skills, and the mention of Jinwoo being incomprehensibly weird but the immediate backtracking that Mino himself is definitely the worst! Lol and Kyuhyun piping up that there is no one else like him in his group like him! Actually Kyuhyun in general- it already seems like he is going to go crazy as this is his last ‘outing’ before enlistment….

Mino losing the bet and the whole ‘can-i-please-leave-some-hair-at-the-back-because-i-had-a tough-time-growing-it’ and the hairstyle turning out so bad! And is it just me or that green hair looked best in this show… Till now I liked it during the other appearances but the lack of the many hair products, made it look just so much better right before he got it cut! 😛

Also that buffet and Hodong calling JiWon’s name 198 times! 😛

Haha true 😛 No prob, have fun! ^^

Manifest*
Autocorrect troubles *sigh*

I think Woo Seung and Hyun Jae can’t really end up together, unless HJ stays in that time. But at the same time I’m also wanting JH to be with the female trainee more and more heh, they’re fun together 🙂

Yeah, her and GJ are so cute together! She seems an odd fit for HJ, personality-wise, but perfect for GJ ^^

Awwww, hwaiting!!!! Just do your best and it’ll all work out the way it’s supposed to ^^ Happy to hear that the other exam went fine! 😀

It’s a dance group/band/thing/I honestly don’t know. They’re a kpop group anyways and from what I’ve seen do some dancing in their mvs. My point being a) he doesn’t exactly scream dance-singer and b) the rocker as a kpop idol? No freaking way 😛

Lol I figured they weren’t, I just liked the idea of all those guys hanging out together at the same time 😉

There’s no six degrees of seperation there, it’s like 2 or 3 degrees with everyone it seems lol! In Denmark it’s probably even worse though. Sometimes it feels like living in a small town instead of a country, cause we’re only 6 million people. For instance, my parents’ new neighbors just turned out to be related to one of my college professors and on top of that had an album released under my dad’s friend’s old record label lol 😛

Btw that article… Someone commented that Hongki “definitely” had a nose job. Based on those few, low-quality pictures… Ehhhh… What? I was watching that show and thinking “wow he literally looks exactly the same, just obviously a bit older”. Some people *slow headshake*

Exactly 😉

Actually that kind of thing happens more often that you’d think. Once someone I know updated their facebook relationship status and I thought “huh the new gf looks familiar” and clicked her profile… Turns out she knows THREE people I know, only two of which also know each other while the third was my childhood friend who’d been her best friend when they were teens lol!
Hahaha yeah can’t imagine it happening in such a populated country like yours! That would be like a miracle-level of coincidence kkk 😛

I don’t get the obsession with figuring out if they got PS or not. If it’s not obvious, then why bother trying to find out and if it’s obvious there’s really not much to figure out anyway, since it’s, well, obvious 😛
And the whole weight-loss thing happens so much. You lose weight to look different (or be healthy, but you get the point I hope heh), so why is it such a surprise when they actually turn out to look different after losing said weight? o.O

Yep, sadly so. Guess I was right when I kept seeing K2 parallels in the beginning, but I SO wanted it to be just my imagination. It wasn’t. And the “climax” at the end was just as wtf and anti-climactic as K2 <:( (lol it was supposed to be an angry one, but now it's just a sad smiley with a party hat pwahaha)
You can DEFINITELY wait till you get home!

"you’d be surprised at what of can make myself get through for the sake of sarcasm and finishing something"
Pfffft that's so me 😛

Didn’t even notice the typos lol, no worries.

I dunno. The romance shoe-horned in; the hero who’s stoic and action-y and secretive, but also suddenly like a little kid in a totally random, uncharacteristic way; lots of action in the beginning, hardly any by the end; completely unrealistic, unsatisfying and random wrapping-up of the major “mystery”. I feel like it has a lot of similarities, but maybe that’s just me.

Well, then I hereby grant you permission to use said smiley! 😛

Thankfully I was still somewhat new to kdrama back then and was charmed by Lee Hyun Woo, so it didn’t feel as bad a show to me as it did to most. Don’t know if I’d be able to finish it now though, 80 shows or so later 😛

I think tonally they aimed for the same, but ended up differently, maybe. MxM seemed to really try to make the mystery and spy parts thrilling, but they just felt boring most of the time, while its comedic moments saved it from complete horrendousness. The K2 on the other hand had an interesting villain that all but saved the show, while its attempts at a lighter tone always felt weird or just meh (like the ramyun twirl. What the literal f was that scene even about?).

It’s not that I found LHW particulary impressive or anything, in fact I’m not quite as wow’ed by his acting as most beanies, but there’s just something about him that draws me in and I don’t even find him handsome. So I guess it’s his charisma?
I thought I was the only one who liked the female leads! They were a big part of why I stuck with it. But if I hadn’t live-watched from the beginning I’m not sure I would’ve made it to the end LOL.

Yesssss. I was rooting for him and the villainess the entire show. Just imagine the complexity and moral ambiguity and ugh, it could’ve been so good! Don’t care that she’s that much older, that just adds another layer. Their chemistry was sizzling! The rest sounds AMAZING too and now I really want that drama! I think it should’ve gone for something more like Lookout, with lots of moral ambiguity and stuff, would’ve been awesome. Or maybe that’s just my preference for that kind of thing in stories that makes me want it everywhere. I like real life people to have a steady moral compass, but fictional characters are so much more interesting when they’re not plain good or evil.

Someone’s voice can totally make me watch their drama. Like Sung Joon. I think like half his charisma and appeal is that voice of his lol. Watching for someone’s hands though… that I’ve never done 😛 Although nice hands is always a plus!
I loved Seo Ye Ji in MS! I was so surprised to see people talking negatively about her when she was announced for Hwarang. But maybe you’re right, maybe the writing made her stand out more positively.
Now I want to go back and check… Except I don’t think I’ll ever want to revisit that drama, it’s better to just let it lie as a nice memory of one of my first live-watches LOL.

Lol yeah, not the moral ambiguity I was thinking of ^^ In fact, I’d even forgotten she was married (oops). (I don’t want characters to cheat, but I do sometimes want them to get a divorce, cause there are some seriously abusive, controlling monster-spouses in kdrama O.O) The moral ambiguity I was thinking of is more along the lines of making people flawed and the kind of people who feel like sacrificing something “small” for the sake of something “greater” or something that would save more lives along the line etc. Basically any kind of character that isn’t all good or evil – like a more nuanced writing, I guess? I like the tension and unpredictability it brings to a story.
I know what you mean about their chemistry. When I say it was sizzling, I mean that their raw chemistry was insanely full of potential. The writing did indeed sadly fail to deliver on that potential, which is such a shame.

I don’t think I’ll ever watch Hwarang. The combination of sageuk, cheap-looking costumes, bad writing and Minho (he just. can’t. act. at all.) kind of scares me away.
Lol I have no idea what you’re talking about, I can’t remember any of the music from that show haha.

Exactly! So many interesting things they could’ve done with the villainess and their chemistry.

Lol EVERYONE in Shinee is probably a better actor than Minho hahahaha 😛 I did make it through the entirity of To the Beautiful You and was pleasantly surprised at him not being quite as embarrassingly bad as I thought he’d be, but since I expected the absolute worst, that’s not saying a lot 😛

So true so true hahaha Hongki just has that grimace smile of his going on.

Ahhh just about finished the 2nd ep with his group now 🙂
I mean… I’m not complaining if he wants to show them off. Not complaining at all.
I was gonna say though I got kinda annoyed that they kept asking the boys (JH and Shin from Cross Gene mainly) what they thought of Boa, and who was prettier etc etc, like, no need to force some silly crush angst with editing guys, just let them be! I know it’s variety but still. Plus I have major issues with the whole ‘ideal type’ thing that Korea has. Dunno if we’ve had that convo yet…

I really hope so too! I wanna enjoy Colorado!

Ah ok. It wasn’t super necessary at the end cos they just played haha but good to know they’re out there.

Ugh waaaeee. Yeah well I’m only watching this for JH, and kinda Shin now that I know he’s on there, and I actually really like Boa, but I just wish it wasn’t there it’d be so much more enjoyable to watch.

It’s definitely a cultural thing for sure. Like it’s normal to talk about your ideal type.. and I’m just like, that’s such an unhealthy view on romance. And to go around asking if x person is more your ‘ideal’ type than another? Like what? Do they just want to breed ship wars? I think to a certain extent everyone thinks about what they’d like in a SO, but preying on that for variety comedy must be so emotionally tiring.
It’s refreshing when I find someone (KR) who isn’t specific about it other than ‘likes music’ or ‘I have to like their personality’ or just flat out refuses to answer the question.

Yess you so could. But he kinda got more comfortable as it went on and after he laughed.
Did you notice JJ through JH a weird as look for something he did on the bass? I don’t know why but it made me chuckle. Although, knowing several guitarists who can play bass, I bet JH can actually play.
Very listenable indeed! So true, and how relaxed they were.

Oh gosh no, I don’t think I have. But I’ll find it, sounds like a blast.

I mean, I can’t say I was surprised at them knowing how to play other stuff? My little brother is a guitarist and can play bass, drums and bits on the piano so… Musicians man, musicians.
I knew Hongki could play drums, for YB and also for that really sad movie he was in I can’t remember the name of.
(The same reason I know random facts about bands and also everything)

Yeah they did look really awkward haha but a good awkward.
oH YAY! Thank you!!

Oh gosh no not one of them! Dunno if you know of Kurt Hugo Schneider, he’s a youtube musician and producer, but he TAUGHT himself everything he knows about music, and he play pretty much anything he picks up and I’m just like ffffffffffffffft

Yayay! Another KHS fan! Omo yes that you-got-served series was incredible and so well done… I wish they kept it up tbh haha
Yeah, I haven’t see much of his latest stuff but generally speaking, if he makes a cover of something I prefer it to the original haha

I want everyone to know how talented they are even though I am still in the process of “discovering” their talents myself!
I just listened to a FT Triple song and Jaejin is really good there!

I saw that post abot 50 songs a year and I was like- no, thankyou, I love FTI but that is a lot to cover! And there are just so many new songs to discover and like!

Haven’t you listened to Winner’s complete songs though? I don’t think they have many anyway! 😛 I sometimes miss their version of “I’m Officially Missing You” from WIN… not their best song but I liked the idea behind it 🙂

Please tell me that what you wrote was not about the end, I don’t even care if it’s true or not heh, I just want to calm my mind and trick it into forgetting I read a spoiler 😛

I did manage to divert my eyes before reading all of it, but would you mind deleting it, before I read the entire thing? 😛 I know I sound crazy right now lol, I’m sorry! Spoilers are just a really big part of how much I enjoy a show, so I always try my utmost to avoid them and is basically going in blind with this show ^^

(And I should have clarified it in the post that I just started watching, so it’s also my own fault. Guess I just forgot because I wrote it in the first CT post *facepalm*)

Thank you thank you thank you!!

(and again, sorry for being crazy about spoilers *hides head in shame* I try not to be, but sometimes I fail completely heh)
