&quot;Haven’t you seen Que Sera Sera? I didn’t think Eric much until QSS – he was the first male Korean actor who moved me to tears. He surprised me big time in playing out – in a heartbreaking but understatement way – the internal turmoil driven by his own guilt and regret. Someone (Frac?) at the City Hall Ep 13 re-cap post compared JG’s role to Eric’s role in QSS which is kind of true to a certain point. The important point is he could carry the show beautifully if given the right material.&quot;

You can see potential in Eric even back to his first drama Pheonix when I thought he eclipsed Lee Seo Jin. I can&#039;t say I&#039;m a fan of Eric yet but you can see it there. If Que Sera Sera has good acting I wanna check it out since I&#039;m a sucker for good acting even if the writing is sucky. My post YB kdrama sights are pinpointed at What&#039;s Up Fox but I haven&#039;t started since I have taken the opportunity to catch up on work, life and christmas shopping.</description>

		<description>This has to be the longest OT, and you gals and guys surely have fun.  I&#039;m probably the only one not excited by Chuno.... because I&#039;m no fan of JH or OJH.  I like LDH but sageuk is simply not my thing and the reason why I still haven&#039;t started Tamra.  But all these food talks made me drool.  I like the idea of a Korean soup base for hot pot which is my favorite though not my hubby&#039;s.  In fact, after watching Family Outing aplenty, my daughter cooked a kimchi stew lately which is pretty tasty.  It would be nice to use that as hotpot base.  

Talking about anniversary, I was waken up two mornings ago by my hubby with a bunch of lillies.  I asked him what&#039;s up ... only to realise that was our anniversary !!   I was so hopeless even though totally immersed myself  in romantic dramas all these times.

&quot; I never thought Eric Mun could act&quot;

But Bidam eats the whole chicken! What are you going to feed your babies?

@488 ockoala
Oh no, I didn&#039;t know nobody likes JNR. How sad...

@514 cingdoc
Aaaw, thanks so much for your invite! Will have to drink your soup virtually as it will take me 20 hrs or more to fly there. Where are you, my Superman?

I am backreading OT, makes me giddy. See y&#039;all in OT#113 and let me know how&#039;s the soup. :-)</description>

		<description>Holy moly...I was gone for a few hours doing my Chrismas cards and then I found you guys:
drooling because 1) I mentioned about my soup, 2) Chuno and 3)more Chuno...lol ;)

@Samsooki
I will just forgive you this time for calling us &quot;loony&quot; since I noticed the time that you were posting was quite late...that would explain your insensitivity toward your beloved friends (and a bunch of aunts of Ji Hoon) here in OT. Besides, you are PART of our group, too  :)

Anyway, it&#039;s getting late , and with the bad weather, I know I will be busy at work ;(
@ockoala, Belleza, langdon, hjkomo, mookie, simplesim ( and everyone else)- I made a BIG pot, so come on over....dinner will be ready by 8pm PST  ;)

@ockoala
For your Thanksgiving ham bone- if it was a honey baked ham, you might want to rinse it twice ( boil it , dump out liquid, repeat a second time) to get the &quot;sweet&quot; honey taste out. Don&#039;t worry....it will still be delish, and flavorful, just not &quot;honey sweet&quot; ( which tasted funny to me the first time I did it)

@no pork in my house
There&#039;s a cute story behind this. When my lil one was 6, she got a stuffed pig for present. She, herself, declared pork-free diet because she didn&#039;t want to eat &quot;her friends&quot;. She even gets upset with us when we get roast pork from Sam woo... So, with my new red meat free diet, we have also gone pork free, too ( with occasional cheating). Ummmm, 16 yo loves the pig rabbit, so are we also going to be rabbit meat free, too??? lol</description>

		<description>brrrrrr....may I ask y we venture into food 11sth at nite?!?!

@sweet cingdoc...u made me miss my mommy BAD!!!! :(  I just dropped them off at the airport  last wkend.

Yeah my family have those hotpot &#039;traditions&#039; as well.  Actually for some odd reason, HKers are very into hotpot (but I went back last yr, I sweat in 70+ Christmas and peeps r wearing Northface).  Even regular Seafood Restaurant which is usually serving dishes communal style have the option of going hotpot for your table.  It&#039;s very &#039;festive&#039;.  I&#039;m not into hotpot until all those numbingly spicy TW  (ma la) ones were in vogue in HK.  I&#039;m literally craving Little Sheep&#039;s (the lamb dumplings) or a ggori gom tang or a kim chi ji gae now!

btw I DEEPLY, VISERALLY cared about Nighto!! He was one perfect sex robotto that lowered himself to a mortal existence out of love for THAT Riiko.
Hiro was trillionX hotter in anything BUT ZK, he had a bird nest for his hair piece for the love of mankind!!! Yeah that Riiko can die, bring that soshi with you girl.  I was BEYOND upset with that SP&#039;s ending, don&#039;t mention that word &#039;okaeri&#039; I turn feral.  I can never ever stand a character (or acting style) whose screentime was occupied by 80% the same wide doe-eyed &#039;huh?!&#039;, ignorant is bliss for them, but I want to poke at their eyes Miike style repeatedly (yes I&#039;m lumping Hiro&#039;s Soshi squarely there)  even in those good old Long fr LV days Matsu Takako = Erika Toda (die!! and DIE!!)

phew now that&#039;s out of my system...  I&#039;ll pull out Otomen for some pinkpink cream cake making bishonen! *draw hearts*</description>

Happy to hear you like it. At  this moment, my brain is taking a good night sleep and I can&#039;t recall much.  All I can recall at this moment is Hiro&#039;s perfectly buffed naked torso, he&#039;s so gorgeous in this drama. Such pleasure to indulge.... TD, wait till you see the subbed version, I can&#039;t spoil your viewing experience I&#039;m sure it&#039;ll be out soon, too bad they were found out and deleted at ViiKii, I was helping that one out.  But lately, my business is taking all of my time beside my day job and I had to retire from all volunteer works for now. Anyhow, Bed time...</description>
