we both look forward to our nightly and weekend marathon kdrama date. We’re going to finish Hotelier tonight. last weekend we finished On Air and prior to that 1% of Anything. we love to watch romantic/comedy and some melo dramas to wind our day. we’re reminded of our courting and early married years. (29 yrs married) i’m not into hardcore tear duct wrenching dramas. there’s a lot of that in my surrounding

if you get the chance, watch the movie Beautiful to Lie. it’s so hilarious!!!

can you please tell me where you watch gourmet with subs I’ve been dying to watch it ever since Sarah recommended it!

thanks!

about BBF – i still watch it every week but it lost some of its flavor for me when they dragged the hell of the JP and JK pairing.

i have a lineup to watch on aznv and now i’m rethinking them
1. new heart
2. fly high
3. flowers of my life (this one is kinda strange)
4. sweet spy
5. painters of the wind
6. invincible parachute agent
7. hyena
8. marrying a millionaire
9. gourmet (my goodness, waiting for subs for this drama is like waiting for xmas)
10. great inheritance

believe me, i started oone or two episodes on all of them except for gourmet. i’m on ep 16 which is the last they subbed.

for those coffee prince and kim sam soon fans…I LOVE THEM TOO!!! I’ve seen both almost 10x already.

javabeans – i can always rely on you to give me your thoughts (which are funny as hell) on bbf. i always have to read your recaps because sometimes i’m left with a big “huh”.

@84 Sere

you can e-mail me if you want : najmuthakib[@]yahoo.co.uk

and I decide to watch Cain and Abel. i like it.

@121 jacq

i hated Terroir, was very boring. sorry to say!

@125 nurse.v

i like your idea. what you say java?

*crickets*

@Samsooki,

“Jang Nara plays her Yang Song Ee character as a good and decent person, not as a person who is of the same coin as Hong Eun Hee. ”

Yup, “Jang Nara” and “spunky” go together like cabbage and anchovies.

As for the ending, it is arbitrary on its face, but it really isn’t. Song-Ee has chosen Hyun Sung. That’s why the coins tossed in the fountain – one that was kept in the fountain (true love) came true, and the one that was tossed out (don’t get caught over the arson) was broken. Her feelings for SJ are strong because she liked him first, but it was Hyun Sung that she couldn’t leave in the end.

@111/112, I have Soulmate on my list now, and 9 End 2 Out is there too.

@120, wow, i’ve don’t know anything about those dramas, but I have to say, my suggested list has grown to about 25 dramas, not including your suggestions. If we watch 3 dramas every 4 weeks or so, that’s 8 months before I catch up!

@123, Ruler of your own world was on my list, but then I heard it was sad, so I took it off my list. I am scared of sad dramas, which is why, MISA didn’t make it, and I think Winter or Autumn story (Endless Love series) may not make it either.

@127, For the same reason as above, I can’t watch Glass Slipper because I know that has a sad ending too. And as for Love Story at Harvard, I can’t watch that for personal reasons. Hehe.

Finally, my wife and I finished episode 6 of the K-drama, Super Rookie, tonight.

Honestly, I didn’t like it at first. But it is getting better. In a very surprising turn of events, my wife actually LIKES the poor secretary girl BETTER than the mean rich daughter of the CEO, while I am thinking, “so far, there are no evil people – everybody has their story, and nobody is perfect.” In that way, it is just like real life, but with more beautiful people.

See you guys next open thread!

These are just among the list that I can think of right now, i’ve seen many good ones aside from the ones listed above and have enjoyed them.
Re Bad Family DVD — check yesasia dot com or malkee dot com both carry Kdramas & other Asian dvds, local stores in your area might have it too.

@Belleza Re the “My name is Kim Sam Soon” parody.

LMAO that was funny! ACK, for some reason now I want to watch Nonstop… at least s5 and s6. *headdesk* Must. Resist.
