It was great. It was a little odd in that it was all about maturity, rather than romance. It was very similar to Last Scandal, only a little bit more adult in the way it handled things. In last scandal, the male lead was still a bit of a child at the end. In this one, the male lead really grew up a ...

Stars from the sky had the usual Korean facepalm last episode, but otherwise was great. the main couple fit together so well. there is no way they could ever have a kid of their own in that household. And last scandal was great. Especially with the daughter complicating things. And the daughter son ...

to move the topic sideways, I just finished Love Marriage. I have no idea why they ended it there, and not five episodes before.

It was a nice ending..... but i didn't get the point.

Baruch Menachem

I actually liked Marry a Millionaire. The show sort of ended at episode 10, but they kept going for 6 more that didn't really make any sense.

They really had no place to go. As if she would go with the guy who humiliated her like that.

And he was a real good guy, even if he was pretty stupid.

Viikii is working fine again.

And this show just keeps getting better.

Baruch Menachem

It has been on Viikii, but Viikii is now broken.

Like I noted, Rich Bich calls The Other Girl to meet in Fancy Cafe. TOG has to walk half a mile to the bus, in the dark, wait however long it is for the bus to show up, (This episode is set in November, so Soul is COLD) then walk a bit more to Fancy cafe where RB tells TOG a few home truths and stal...

Baruch Menachem

I see similar stuff on US TV shows, but never to the same degree. Why can't rich jerk just drive to the house, meet outside, and then drive off. Making the other person walk and bus a long way (and get stuck with the check, as the usual procedure is rich jerk walks off first.) is a really high level...

Baruch Menachem

You can sort of understand it in a culture where phones aren't trusted. And Korea really moved faster from further back than most places both politicly and economically. I notice lots of dramas still discuss the time of military rule (When did that end, BTW?) as something recent enough that even you...

Baruch Menachem

Why can't the folks in Kdrama's talk their problems over on the phone? Is this a culture thing left over from military rule, a culture thing left over from party lines, or just a way to get the characters in the same set together? Anyway, I find it weird that folks get calls on the phone and immedia...

Baruch Menachem

I had to bail on episode 6, as it was just too weepy. I like how it was honest about its issues though. Something that FFA wasn't so good at.

Baruch Menachem

Fairly standard Kdrama plot... Plutocrat's son needs an education in order to inherit, eeevil step mom and step sibling.. predatory first love... super virtuous maiden left picking up the pieces of parental bad behavior.. at one level it is just more of the same, (don't get me wrong, I love this rec...

I found the ending to bodyguard very confusing. It looked like the writer was doing stream of conciosness and all of the sudden noticed "hey, this is episode 16. The end." What? I really liked the first 15 episodes of O Pil Seung. I can't understand why he did that. I also can't understand...

Baruch Menachem

Hmm.. regarding That Fool/Accidental Couple greatest moment. 1) When Kang Mo's Father asked Dong Baek how much is Ji Soon worth... and he goes on to give a blank Cheque. Dong Baek went on to write many many 0s including behind the Cheque and states "Ji Soon is worth more than anything you can ...

1) in that Fool when they are in Guam, he takes her to a high dive resort, but chickens out, and she jumps first and he goes after her 2)In You are my Destiny, when Romeo's mom visits him in the hospital and discovers Juliet in his hospital bed. 3)Also in That Fool when the bad Guy's fiance gives hi...

I have heard this is not doing well. I actually like it a lot. A very good villain in the lawyer. He gets sleazier every episode. I would think after his omai went so badly, he would give it a break. But he just keeps digging a deeper hole for himself. I do think she should go to her father and tell...

Baruch Menachem

I am still at episdoe 18. I don't want to go any further, because I am afraid she will wind up with the looser, Hwan. She has the other guy who is so much better. I can't stand the tendency of women in Kdramas to choose the lemon over the peach

Baruch Menachem

I use macs, which have region burnt in nowdays. In olden times you could change it.

Baruch Menachem

Something to watch out for is that Yes Asia products all have region codes. Mostly china and japan region codes. So if you buy a CD from them, you might not be able to play it on your machine. Yesasia has lots of really good stuff that I badly want, but I can't buy any of it because my machine is re...

Baruch Menachem

Yea I like Ethan's character but I felt sorry for Dylan near the end, he's a really good looking actor but overall it's a good drama, I can watch it over and over again :cheers: I didn't like Dylan at all. I thought his professor Higgens to Xin lI's Eliza Doolittle was way out of line. A lover is n...

Nodame Cantabile 4x.

Fated to love you

That Fool. I have watched episode 14 especially.

Baruch Menachem

I really loved the first episodes of Sweet Inheritance. I have given up at episode 15 because I can smell a train wreck coming. She is going to go for Hwan. Such a mistake. The other guys is so much better on so many levels. I can't see why she chooses the lemon when the peach is right there. I thin...

Baruch Menachem

Yea, I guess you are right. And also the fact that he's actually loyal too. I mean he still choose her even though his old lover come back en make a move on him. That's also one good point of him, I think. I don't know if that is so much loyalty as basic intelligence. When Lucy von Pelt shows up wi...

I have seen two episodes of this. It looks like a winner so far. Terrific family dynamic. Terrific dynamic in general. Basic story so far... Girl gets dumped on her wedding day because her father goes bankrupt. Girl goes to live with her family's ex chauffeur because she is so mad at her dad. Who is...

Baruch Menachem

I have been watching a lot of Korean drama lately. I have to think, despite the fact she is portrayed as kind of dim, she is the smartest Kdrama protagonist out there. She found a guy who had a good job, was painfully honest, good to his relations and grabbed on and held on for dear life. To many Kd...

Baruch Menachem

It was a nice bit of froth. I really loved how the sister in law was such a total mood breaker all the time, preventing them from getting to know each other real real well..

It was a pretty happy story. I really think it is a sad fantasy. There is no way a real life guy would put up with that.

Baruch Menachem

The one I want seems to have been dropped at episode 5, just when it was getting great. It has two titles. I have no idea where the videos can be found, and I fear it may even be too old. It is called either Big wife little husband or strong wife cute husband. it is a very sweet may/december thing t...

Is this streaming anywhere?

Baruch Menachem

- The summary on dramawiki had info on several teachers and students. One student was so old, he looked like a teacher and used the teachers' office as his own. One student was scared of people, so she spent all night in the nurse's office. One male student looked really fierce, but he was easily t...

Baruch Menachem

I think I will watch anything with Eugene in it. She is very good in everything she does.I like her little verbal tics too, the way she moves her eyes at the actor working with her.

Baruch Menachem

I am hating torrent with a white hot hate.. It still moves real slow, keeps the computer awake all night, and won't allow the streaming sites to work. Isn't there some alternative?

Baruch Menachem

I couldn't finish the series Single Dad in Love. I quite at episode 14 and went to the end. where all the rest of the characters were at his funeral. god that was horrible after all that. And he never got the girl, either. This was a great drama for the first 12 episodes, I watched the show non stop...

Baruch Menachem

The reason I like these dramas is they are honest about the issues involved, but they really go for hard stuff, don't they. Anyway, really hard high concept list of the shows I have seen just this year : Bad couple... Rape and pregnancy by woman against a man (Very happy ending) I really really like...

Baruch Menachem

I finished it. Thinking it over, I reallly like Ethan's character the more I think it over. He did his best to do the right thing, even in an impossible situation. Xin Yi was also fundamentally a good person, even though she did do some very dumb things. No girl should do what she planned on the shi...

Baruch Menachem

Really weird relationship between the cop and his wife. What kind of person totally ignores their housemate like that when he comes home, let alone a spouse? Of course, from the phone call before, you can tell he is a bit of a jerkass, but that was one poisonous marriage. I just can't figure the rel...

Baruch Menachem

Bad information I guess. I read a posting over in the manga discussion..... The guy saw the KVR trailer and thought it was for Nadome. He has been corrected. He saw UJ in a wedding dress and put 2 and 2 together and got a wrong answer.

Baruch Menachem

the show so far has stuck pretty close to the manga. (they dropped the arc of the visit to his parent's house, which makes sense from a budget standpoint, but lost an important part of the logic behind Chiaki's emotional coldness) The manga is supposed to end in January, about the same time as the s...

Baruch Menachem

Chapters 127-128 are her doing chopin with Stressman in London. I thought the whole arc from 120 on to 130 one of the best parts so far. Would love to see Uri do the scene which leads up to it. It colors my feeling for the music. It now has the feel of "Its tomorrow, and he does not love me now...

Baruch Menachem

Badly want to see where Nodame plays london.

Baruch Menachem

Linky goodness please?

Baruch Menachem

That is exactly right! Thanks. I was thinking it started with a z for some reason. The first episode was great! Was there a problem with the second Ai no Uta that there are no subs for it anywhere? It sounds real good. I liked the one I saw a lot, but I want to see the other one too. (I like the lea...

Hi! I found an interesting series that I forgot the name of, and I was hoping I could have some help finding again. Essential start of the plot is girl works in a small italian restaurant with quality food. Corporate buys the place as the launching site of new chain, and has inept son of CEO run the...

Baruch Menachem

I am looking forward. Too bad US tv isn't good about foreign movies. This would be a hit, I think That scene where Chaiki is conducting Beethoven's 7th and everyone is applauding, but Nodame is crying is the best part of the whole series. The phone call between them near her house is the second grea...

Couple of Trouble That Fool I really really like you (Hated the ending, but I hate the ending to most Kstuff.) Goong (another really lousy ending, almost. They fixed it at the end) As for # 5, another two with bad endings, one is a police drama where a local female cop gets caught up in the search f...

I can't do torrents, but I badly want a copy of this. Is there anyone who is thinking of releasing it here in the states? Such a brilliant story. I am looking forward to the movie too. I have been following the manga.... Chiaki is finally getting his act together, but it seems as if Nodame has moved...

Baruch Menachem

Well, her movies were "Is this love?" and "becuz of you." She has a bit part in return of the illuminae, but the real drama is the life of Sandara Park. I just wonder where that one will go.

Baruch Menachem

I just discovered her while watching a Philippine drama. It was an interesting drama because it covered a lot of areas that I thought were pretty honest and courageous. But Sandara herself seems unable to act her way out of a paper bag. Cute is good, but... The really amazing thing is that her biogr...

Sounds more like a combo of Get Smart (The shoe phone) and It Takes a theif (My favorite 70's spy show)

I look forward to it. I am going to hunt it down now.

Baruch Menachem

I found this at a different place. The translations are going slow and kind of weird. From what it looks like, I think it is a grand slam home run. But the translations are kind of weird especially in the pronouns. Anyway it looks great and the place I am watching it is kind of slow. Is there a bett...

I am only 2/3s of the way in. I feel for Xin Yi, a honey pot to jerks. I dislike Dylan the most for some reason, trying to play Henry Higgins to Xin Yi's Eliza Doolittle. I think she gave up too much of herself. I have reached a point where it looks like Anna is going to dump Ji again. She and Ji ha...

I am even more annoyed now than I was before with the women in these dramas. I just finished Sweet Spy. What was she thinking? The boss was cuter, spoke Korean and was just plain nicer. She still preferred the jerk! Why did she go to bed with him only after having his perfidy spelled out to her in g...

Goong gets an 8. I just love the concept. And the actress was special. Goofy last third of the show. Great ending. Fantasy couple gets a 12 out of 10. It was that good. Vinyard Man had that really cute girl from Goong. I watched it far longer that it was worth just because of her. Is bodyguard valid...

Baruch Menachem

Pity. I don't know anything from 2008. But That Fool is on my best of all time.

Loved the comment by his sister at the end of the movie that her sister in law got married three times to the same guy. (And still had a white wedding)

Baruch Menachem

Just got to episode 14. She turned him down. All Right! In your face Yoon!

(I like his dad, BTW)

And it looks like Yoon really should get a job he is more qualified for.... Like schlepper in the fish market They are loosing suppliers. that is beyond incompetence.

Baruch Menachem

Yoon's record at the company is such that I wonder why he had a job at all. First episode he was trying to exercise droit de seignor on the sales staff, he was consistently late and drunk when he did bother to show up, and his record at West Market was pathetic. Of course, he had no problem firing t...

I am watching a really good (for me) Kdrama "Oh! Phil Seung And Bong Soon Young" and I am wondering why the women in most drama's put up with stupidity and jerkiness that is way beyond the pale. Over and over again Yoon has done things to Soon Young that had had me yelling at the screen &q...

This show has such great villans too. I love the attitude of counselor Lee. Snarkist villain evah."What is the point of power if you don't abuse it?"

I had to give up. I had my overload of bad guys winning. I might try again later.

I loved watching most of city hall, but I had to give up on it when Shin Mirea was arrested the second time. Since the first episode made it clear the whole rest of the show was flashback, I could see a train wreck of biblical proportions comming that I just couldn't handle. I liked her too much. Th...
