@arakira Till episode 10 I honestly did understand In Young. I mean, she does all the mistakes I did with my ex while dating a new guy. He was such a douche and he was never going to change. SS is also easy to give into temptation, and I doubt he'll change either. So it's not that I don't understand...

SSpiegel

@Issy Yeah, episode 11 was the worst, wasn't it? sitting next to SS in the restaurant? O!M!G! When I actually got to that scene where she was returning to the table and suddenly making lovey dovey eyes at SS, I was, like, this is not happening! Then she started to walk towards the table and just a s...

So, after 11 episodes I'm finally soooooo done with In Young. Whatever happens to her love triangle, I'm sorry, love rectangle (or maybe it's already developed into a love pentagon... :roll ), I don't care anymore. I still love Pouty McPoutyface, but this romance is total bs and I'm not wasting my e...

:O I can't believe you just agreed to such behaviour as a woman. leaving all feminist issues behind, that was NOT the right action. be it from the woman or a man point of view. even though she was totally wrong and actually treated him so badly but seriously, that was not the right action. they are...

Episode 10 preview...

I have no more words for now.

SSpiegel

arakira, I thought it would be best to say that instead of saying "I want to eat his face" and other disturbing stuff. His face is just... perfection! I want to take it and wear it over my own face. Yes! You took the words right out of my mouth. I will be in serious disappointments if she ...

SSpiegel

Wow, who knew this was soooooo addicting! The first few episodes went by without much thought, but now I'm on pins and needles! I wish the drama was already over and all the subs were out, I can't take this anymore! If this ends with In Young and Sung Soo together, I might just die. But, if she does...

^ I'm already practically bankrupt with my student loans and a huuuuge credit card bill. At least I'd be bankrupt with a cute guy by my side, haha! I don't find the start that slow, tho. Maybe because usually I'm frustrated that the set-up is too quick and then we spend a million episodes going back...

SSpiegel

I'm surprised how much I'm liking this drama. I mean, it's not mind-blowing or anything, but it's pretty cute and I don't find anyone particularly annoying, which is always a plus. The music is definitely the selling point for me, I enjoy fusion music a lot. I've watched two episodes so far and it's...

SSpiegel

Good thing there was a thread for this, or I wouldn't have found the subs for this. Back when I heard about this, I was pretty sure no one would sub a cable drama, but I'm happy I was wrong. I'm glad to see Kim Jung Hoon again, I felt so sorry for hating him in Goong. Might be back to comment when I...

I'm not a guy, but as a girl with a boyfriend who's totally not into Asian stuff (except some Korean movies), there are only two dramas I've gotten him to watch: Maou and Ashita no Kita Yoshio. Maou we spent laughing our asses off, so I wouldn't recommend it, but we both really enjoyed Ashita no Kit...

What I meant was that baby fat and chubby cheeks on children is one thing and fuller cheeks on a grown man is a whole other ballgame entirely. I blame the fangirls, not for finding baby fat and chubby cheeks cute, since everyone does, but for "seeing" those traits in grown handsome men. M...

SSpiegel

I started watching White Christmas. The acting is so-so, but the guys are huuuuuge and absolutely gorgeous (5 out of 7 are models!!!). Anyway, the story is very intriguing, and I was genuinely shitting my pants pretty much throughout the whole episode. The atmosphere was so thick it could've been cu...

SSpiegel

SSpiegel , that's exactly what I mean. A man has some fat and fangirls rush to call them cute and "Awww! Those cheeeks!". From what I know, baby fat and chubby cheeks have always been considered as cute (probably pretty universally, too). I wouldn't pin the blame on fangirls on this one. ...

SSpiegel

While I saw no need for Ilu (or any other already really skinny Korean star) to lose anymore weight, I do get where he's coming from. He did have some baby fat in his cheeks, making them chubby and cute. I didn't pay much attention to it while watching 49 Days, but after I compared pictures from bef...

For me, even 3 hot guys and delicious looking pasta couldn't save that drama.

Tho, I did love angry Lee Sun Gyun. The way he yelled made my legs turn into jelly, haha!

SSpiegel

Ethlenn - I get where you're coming from. But, imho, I think there's a difference between being a wooden log and being lifeless and having no will to live. It's indeed a strange combination, but I think she just managed to overact being lifeless, haha! Overall, the acting was pretty horrid. I had no...

SSpiegel

I finished the first episode, and while it was mildly interesting, the acting was pretty atrocious all around. The rich brat was annoying (+her acting was the worst!), the convenience store lady was like a log of wood. But, like I said, it was pretty interesting. I'll probably watch at least a few e...

I'm at episode 5, and so far so good. It's pretty different from usual kdramas, but it's just refreshing. The young actors are really, really good! Don't know if it will fit your taste, but you should at least try it!

SSpiegel

Has anyone watched Giant? I'm deeply in love with Hwang Jung Eum right now, so while I'm waiting for her new drama, I wanted to check out something else she's in. But Giant sounds a bit melodramatic, plus it's hella long (60 eps).

I think Bethoveen Virus had a love story in it. I'm not use, though. I haven't watched it. It does have a love story but Not for JKS character. In better words، she changed her mind and that what made hate her character even more. Over all, I think it was JKS's best drama. When he was a manly man (...

I'm still devotedly watching All My Love and High Kick Through The Roof (damn those 100+ episodes!). But, I haven't gotten sick of either one yet, which is a good sign. I also started Jungle Fish 2 just yesterday, and damn, it's so good! I literally had no expectations, it has a few idols and relati...

^ Well, my point exactly. For me it was obvious that Monami was never there, and that's how it ended for me. But I do understand that there was some space for another interpretation, and I get it if others think it's Monami there in the end. Plus what pissed me off about the ending was that Naoko co...

SSpiegel

Well, it's been a few days since I watched the finale. I dunno, I have to say I didn't really like it. I know they wanted to leave us hanging about whether it was Monami or Naoko in the end, but to me it just failed. They should've been much more vague. It's soooo obviously Naoko, it makes me wonde...

I'm trying to read Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry right now, but it's progressing slowly. I loved The Time Traveler's Wife, it was so well constructed, but I'm not into this new one yet.

Haha, you got me there! I'm so bad with grammar (both Finnish and English) and I never know what things are called. But maybe it's a good thing it got explained, since others might not know either.

I'd say forget about romanization, it'll just make you crazy! And when you can't avoid it, like with names or places or foods, get used to the idea that there might be a few versions out there. My Korean friends still use the old system for their names, and I've actually only seen the new version on...

In general, I feel really strange about adding/changing members, like they've done with After School or T-ara. It's just not something you're accustomed to with Korean pop groups. For example, with groups like Morning Musume or AKB48 members come and go all the time. In Fact, didn't Pledis say from...

Man, that sucks! I mean, I'm not a fan, there's maybe two songs I've ever heard, but it still sucks!

사라미 is correct, but it's colloquial, so I wouldn't recommend using it for the beginner. 사라미 is a typical example of a contradiction in a language. It happens usually with names. With Korean names ending with consonant, when we call someone by his/her name, we add "아" or "야" (whe...

I watched the first episode, and I liked it a lot. Pink's songs are pretty wack, tho! I think Miura looks too young to be a teacher, but what he lacks in looks, he makes up with maturity.

Regarding SHINee, I'm guessing it's a matter of taste. I personally think Onew has the best voice. Jonghyun's voice is more powerful, but not as beautiful and controlled as Onew's. And when Taemin manages to carry a tune, his voice is quite nice, too. All in all, I think SHINee is one of the good on...

I watched the first episode, and while it wasn't totally bad, it was way too similar with Gokusen!

Everything from ...

I have to agree with Baker King Kim Takgu. I only watched it on tv in Korea, so I didn't understand all of the dialogue, but it looked stupid anyway.

They could play pretty much anything during the introductory video. At least what I've seen in music programs, sometimes it doesn't even sound like it's a real song.

Yeah, I think this drama makes it really hard to relate to anyone.
