I can't believe A Love to Kill got an A and this got a D. I would have reversed the scores. I also didn't enjoy Thank You as much as I enjoyed this one (although the first half of Thank You is lovely). There was just something so special to me about the atmosphere in this drama to the point where the cliches didn't even bother me. In fact, I barely even noticed them at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-88757141171499231722013-02-13T00:12:07.492-05:002013-02-13T00:12:07.492-05:00Hi

Hv since watched other loooove KD such as My princess, Secret Garden, The Snow Queen, Padam padam and Full House. I watched Sang Doo on youtube but i can only found ep 1. It is very promising n i will surely look out for the dvd.

I started watching Kdramas and Kmovies this year and I'm catching up on some of the older stuff so it's fun to compare impressions. jensredshoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790464857862679837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-73350049416377185292012-12-26T16:27:31.279-05:002012-12-26T16:27:31.279-05:00Okay, not HIGH quality - but still has endearing q...Okay, not HIGH quality - but still has endearing qualities. Before anything else though, I totally agree about the great bromance between Sang Doo and the doctor boyfriend. They had some really great scenes and I like how the doctor became a warmer, more compassionate person (to people besides his patients). If a second male lead doesn't have great chemisrty with the girl, I'm usually thrilled to see them go, but this guy became likeable in alot of other ways. <br />I loved the father-like school principal who's all nosey and concerned for Gong Hyo Jin's character then later for the outcast Sang Doo - even dragging the other teachers in to sew beads on slippers to help him support his family and be a better person (stop being a gigolo).<br />The best for me were the sweet moments between the dad and his little girl. I'm not a fan of Rain as a singer/dancer. I just learned who he was this year after watching I'm a Cyborg(cause I love Im Soo Jung) and A Love to Kill(cause I like Shin Min-A), but he does heartbroken very well. Sang Doo had a life full of regrets and misery and his daughter was all he lived for. He even chose to marry his daughter's mother to make a whole family for her even when his true love came back to him. It was even more tragic to see him using humor whenever he could to get through the painful moments. <br />Oh, and the actress who plays Bora's mom. I saw her face on the poster and thought "Nasty Soo-Ran from Lie to Me!" She was so hate-worthy in the beginning of LTM then later let herself be seen as flawed and vulnerable. I wanted to see her again cause she's spunky and fun to watch, especially when she's spitting mad. She has a fantastic glare!jensredshoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790464857862679837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-73357941220842702012012-12-10T23:00:18.170-05:002012-12-10T23:00:18.170-05:00I still think that doctor on 49 days is the worst....I still think that doctor on 49 days is the worst.

I loved it back then (and now recognize one of the case members as the female lead from the drama Someday), but don't know how it would play for someone who already knows a lot about Korea. It's more freaky than funny, really, but not super gory.<br /><br />I also saw and really liked the UK movie Protect the Block, which it turns out is based on a Korean horror movie called Attack the Gas Station. Now I have to see that one, too.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062557298628072047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-61547711523385327112012-10-09T16:37:22.274-04:002012-10-09T16:37:22.274-04:00Hahaha!!

(Although it's sad that it takes a few drinks to actually get people to watch Kdramas...::sigh::) It's always especially tough when there are guys in the mix, because who knows what they'll like? Maybe thinking outside the box is the ticket...how about watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468492/" rel="nofollow">The Host</a> instead of a drama?

My friend wanted to have a big pot luck dinner thing at her house for my birthday on Friday and I am going to wait until everyone has had a few drinks and then announce that I am forcing everyone to watch kdrama with me!! MWA HA HA HA!!! They can't say no because it's my bday!! So which one should I make them watch? Obviously CP is my favorite ever, but I'm not so sure my guy friends will appreciate that... I was thinking maybe Arang will capture everyone's attention? I dunno...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-31208500664013448192012-10-08T12:41:26.585-04:002012-10-08T12:41:26.585-04:00I could not have held off one second longer before...I could not have held off one second longer before watching Nice Guy—I forced myself to wait until TTBY finished airing, because I don't want to get bogged down with a ton of currently airing shows. I love it so far, and can't wait to get caught up so I can read everybody's commentary without getting spoiled. I knew that Song Joong Ki was going places the second I laid eyes on him in Sungkyunkwan Scandal.<br /><br />If you're anything like me, you better make sure you have a box of tissue and some eye drops around for episode 6 of AM 1997 ;)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062557298628072047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952798172649226841.post-55863804881525192752012-10-07T22:30:14.490-04:002012-10-07T22:30:14.490-04:00ahah!
