OMG I was in Rome just a few days ago and took some photos on the red carpet outside the Fest venue. I was then joking that we might see some big names – hope I haven’t missed any HGD cast………

Wow, that’s nice. I live in Italy and I had no idea HGD won. I didn’t even know it was a nominee. *headdesk* Just like Kallista said, dramas are not popular here. *pouts*

I love dramas, but for some reason I can’t get into HGD. I watched 2 eps and meh, still not getting into it. I’ll keep on watching cos you recced it and I only heard good things about it.

BTW, keep up the good work. You = awesome!

Hong Gil Dong definitely deserves this. I’ve seen alot of dramas produced in 2008 and so far Hong Gil Dong is still one of the most memorable. Kang Ji Hwan

Ouais, peut-être c’est parce que je n’ai pas aimé bcp les éléments plus sombres de la série que je me souviens plus facilement de Great Luck que de IF. Et aussi puisque je ne fais jamais le karaoké.

Mais quel que soit le cas, c’est une très bonne nouvelle! Javabeans reste toujours le meilleur blog de kdramas. Je te remercie bcp bcp.

Oui, j’ai regarde “Coffee Prince” mais je n’ai pas su que les chansons etait celles-la de No Brain. Ack, sorry. My French is pathetic. I’ve taken it for five years and visited France twice but still, anything that strays from “hello, how are you?” sends me running towards the grammar books.

My finding out about No Brain prior to HGD was totally accidental. Apparently, only old fobs know about them as they are “underground” I think would be the word? So no, I don’t know any of their other songs since they’re not really my style. ^^

I guess I take away a sadder vibe from HGD than others do and that’s why “If” plays in my head whenever I think of it though. Probably because of the last fifteen minutes of the series. The tears flowed freely. I admit I was part of the karaoke craze though. I sang it every time I went to a noraebang.

Jane Elliot — I believe “If” was the most-karaoke’d song of the year, or something like that. I admit to liking the song when initially used in the series (a memorable scene!) but it did get played out.

No Brain has some catchy songs, but the punk-rawk sound isn’t really my thing. I do agree that the song plays in my head when I think of Hong Gil Dong, though.
