I'll watch any TW or HK drama with hawt girls in it.

Just curious, but on the original topic about girls wanting Korean girlfriends, has those girls ever been to grad school, or even college in the United States? Have you guys noticed that the Korean girls who go to school here, both international and American-born, look nothing like the Koreans in Kd...

XiaoPauli

Are you in college? If you are, then the answer is yes.

Boys Over Flowers is nothing like MNIKSS. You'll have better luck with My Girl or Cinderella Man.

Honestly, S2 is looking more like a variant, yet polished (albeit overproduced) remake of S1 instead of a full-blown sequel. I'm liking it though, but I do miss the old cast (old game show host was a better actor, too). Haven't figured out if the contestants have a relationship with the game show ho...

Video of funny Asian gamer chick play testing Spore. Also known as the Sprite girl.

I'm in love.

As a dude, I watch dramas too. I do it to hit on girls, especially on my fobby female classmates in grad school. They totally dig guys who watch the same thing they do. It's true. I'm awesome like that. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5599/awesomeql7.jpg Seriously, though. Too many girls in D-Add...

I honestly think that if it weren't for MG and HYD, people would easily be ranking this series up there with Full House and My Girl. Seems like hindsight is preventing people from enjoying the series more. Remember that w/ Full House and My Girl, people were watching an unfamiliar series. For a plot...

It is! As time went on, I've been more accepting of that. What you said, I couldn't have put it any better.

MG does seem more "inspired' than "based" on HYD.

XiaoPauli

In MG I couldn't really get into the idea of them being teens. In MG, weren't they supposed to be 20something characters in college? I'm not sure, since I haven't seen it in years. I don`t know what they were supposed to be. But in the end.. the scenes in the school are to few.. or rather.. it's no...

Sadly, no video. Would have been uber-nice to see the realism in action. Got wind of this from some tech forum earlier today. Aaaaand here's a larger image I just found just now.

I didn't know if this was already posted before, but what did you guys think of this Korean-looking girl? Do you think it jumps over the uncanny valley?

XiaoPauli

Here's a warning before watching the first episode then, have a low expectation initially (like I did since I've seen pretty much all versions) and once you start watching, let it take you to another world of HYD, enjoy it for the story and stop analyzing details like your nitpicking everything.

Did my post imply that I was saying the acting between Gokusen 1 and Goksuen 3 is the same? Because that is not what I meant; if it was.

XiaoPauli

The acting is the same as it was back at the start, and there are some scenes where the acting is just plain horrible that you have to just close your eyes and listen instead. Some of the boys are new to acting, but they haven't improved much from the start it seems. If I have to be honest, I'm fee...

XiaoPauli

I haven't been checking out Gokusen 3 since Ep. 2 because I couldn't stand the amazingly horrible acting from the main high school characters. For the non-biased Gokusen 3 watchers, has the acting been consistent since then? I was debating whether I should go back to it. My current impression is tha...

XiaoPauli

Finally got to see some of it recently.

*sigh*

Now I understand what everyone else was talking about. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, stop watching this drama and watch the original Korea movie instead.

XiaoPauli

Mad props to SARS for another great subbed release of the third season. It's always a joy to read their quality subs for parts that I don't understand. Gokusen has gone downhill for the third season, unfortunately. The first season was fresh with a wonderful veteran cast, the second one slipped in q...

Meh. We know how it ends.

XiaoPauli

So now what? What should I do? Given what you written, I don't think any action is required on your part. I can't possibly think why it would be your fault. The blame should be on the girl for trivially being upset over something like you having a strong friendship with the guy. If the girl is upse...

Sorry for the tangent post, but I still haven't figured out why the show was named "Last Friends"? Haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list of shows to check out (after finals).

When I was doing undergrad, some friends and I would watch that movie about once a year. Nowadays, I would be lucky to bump into someone doing undergrad or are in high school who's even heard of the original movie.

Much different? No, not really. You can type the kanji part of Japanese sentences, more or less, with the Chinese pronunciation, depending on whether you use the Traditional IME or the Simplified IME.

Yeah, it looks like the Sano/Mizuki angle is progressing healthily. Maybe too healthily, because I think there's much else development to it that can't be done in an episode or two.
