		<description>@Samsooki

Oh my, my, Samsooki, if you keep saying things like that, you might end up with a Samsooki fan club very very soon and I don&#039;t know how your wife will take *that* ;) 

&quot;And so I learned about not fighting the hair’s natural direction.&quot;

So true! And yet, if I don&#039;t fight it, my hair looks more like a birdnest than, you know, hair.  

PS: that pic is one of my favorites! \o/</description>

		<description>Well, honestly, since January (when I randomly got into k-dramas and discovered that Korean guys are good looking and cool after all):

1.  I&#039;ve grown out my hair a lot.  And for the first time in my life, tried a Korean salon (Sook Hui, Palisades Park NJ - highly recommended) for styling.  And so I learned about not fighting the hair&#039;s natural direction.  That, and learning about cold air styling has made all the difference in the world.  Lee Min Ho hair baby!

2.  Added more color to my wardrobe, added better fabrics and better clothing, and wearing things more fitted and looking at outlines and shapes.  Phillip Lee without the frilly ascot velvet scarf thingies!

3.  And now I care about how I look, not just because I&#039;m my wife&#039;s accessory, but because I am trying to see that I am good looking too.  Way back when I was in college and visiting Korea, I visited my mom&#039;s sister and she was like in Korean, &quot;oh, wow, you are so good looking&quot; but I always thought she was just saying the typical auntie thing.  Now, I actually feel it, and I actually smile when I pass by mirrored windows on the street.  Binnie attitude!

4.  Oh and instead of bourbon for a bit of the taste, I&#039;ve switched to chamisool soju.  Instead of mainly western style food, we&#039;ve started making k-food at home, and that goes well with the chamisool.

The hair, the clothes, the attitude, the soju/food.  check check check check.  hehe.  A few wrist grabs and misunderstandings later, and I&#039;ll be well on my way to being a k-actor wannabe.  hehe!  :)</description>

		<description>pfff!

SamSOOKi is the stuffed pig!  Binnie is SamSHIKi... and of course the lovely Kim Sunah is SamSOONi...don&#039;t you guys know that?  If I were Binnie, wouldn&#039;t I have a dramabeans handle like Samshiki?  To see all three, click the pic below:

http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/3300000/My-Name-is-Kim-Sam-Soon-korean-dramas-3300896-1024-768.jpg  

BTW, for those playing along at home with the Dramabeans (TM) home game, the quote in the above picture says, &quot;oo ri yuhn-ae han buhn hae-bol-gga-yo?&quot; with an insert for the word &quot;ha-nun chuk&quot;.  basically, &quot;shall we try courtship&quot; with the insert literally meaning, &quot;acting as if&quot; (fake).  This pic is practically the entire drama in a nutshell.  Awesome picture.

As for Joo Ji Hoon, I believe the phrase is &quot;Joo Ji Hoon... who?&quot;  It is a shame.  But, so be it.  Hey JJH, man up, take responsibility, smile at your fortune of being young and alive, and move on.  Life is too short to search for lost time.  If there is one lesson to be learned in life early, it is that life is too short to search for lost time.  You can waste lifetimes trying in vain.  Whether you are JJH or a fan of JJH, it is better to eat a madeleine sexy cookie instead and just move on.</description>

		<description>&quot;But who knows? Maybe it would reveal that Samsooki is the Real Hyun Bin? &quot;

Ah, well, whether it&#039;s Hyun Bin in incognito or not, he must know how much we love him ;)

BTW, what&#039;s up with Joo Ji-hoon? Do we know how things are looking up for him?</description>

		<description>Of course we need news &quot;to confirm&quot; that Phillip is sexy! Haha.
Maybe this way will give interests to everyone who hasn&#039;t  watch Story of A Man.
Oh, I love tall guys. And I don&#039;t mind with his messy look. Makes him hotter. ;)</description>
