It's ALOHA FRIDAY with a 3 day weekend! Happy Easter and be safe out there.

I'll be getting my new television soon....been without one for a month now and I'm anxious because I found out OBGYN is airing on our local Korean station right now and Catch A Falling Star is on its 8th episode.....so I will be in hog heaven following those 2 on regular television.

So all is good here and it's early morning so I will get the coffee going!

Enjoy today!

happy friday!! i agree, WHY IS IT FRIDAY. should've started studying properly today, for my last ever university exams.. instead i'm hanging about enjoying the drama-lovin' procrastinator's life. haven't checked out any of the new dramas yet, planning on starting cinderella's sister soon, in the mood for a melo~ and when i'm all melo-d out, oh my lady.

right now i'm watching jdrama sailor fuku to kikanjuu aka sailor suit and machine gun. it's about a schoolgirl who becomes the leader of a yakuza clan. everybody dies. \o/ it's amazing though!

enjoy your friday guys! happy easter weekend!

Hi everyone. Happy Easter Weekend.

Here's my question. Do the korean dramas tend to use some standard songs for to highlight a happy or dramatic moment? I don't speak a lick of Korean except for the few handful of words and phrases that I now understand thanks to my avid watching of kdramas. I've noticed though that there are songs that sounds familiar and I'm thinking Ive heard them in past kdramas I've seen. I swear it's the same song but then I don't understand it enough to be actually sure.

So do tthe Kdramas use the same songs over and over again. Granted they put it in a different theme song per kdrama.

Pls help me understand?

Happy Friday everyone!:-) Enjoy the long weekend:-)

Spent Thur night and all of Fri marathoning "The Last Scandal of my Life ".I couldn't tear my self away from the computer screen:-(.I wanted to watch it for a long time and found it online finally..When I was a kid, I used to think that movie stars used to live forever because I still saw them in movies even after they passed away.It is sad that the world lost such a brilliant comedienne so young but her work will always be remembered with a smile.

Such a lovable drama.I wish I had caught it sooner.Jung Jun-ho is so funny and clownish as Jae-bin and will just make you laugh out laugh with his silly antics.Choi Jin-shil was adorable as the ajumma.The chemistry between the duo was just great and they made such an amazing 'hate to love' each other pair.Added to my 'Dramas to hook people to Asian drama" list.-)

I can't wait for Personal taste to come out with subs.The recaps and the trailers make it look like another fun drama to watch.Curious to know why a lot of leading men in dramas nowadays are architects though.:-P

Random question -Any recommendations for Japanese dramas along the lines of Perfect Girl Evolution?

If you liked Chuno, try "Conspiracy In The Court" - 8 episode saegeuk drama from the same writers as Chuno. General Choi and Seol Hwa from Chuno are in it also!

I can't blieve I fell for the whole "Google is changing it's name to Topeka" thing. I was like "bad move" it doesn't sound right to say I topeka it instead of google it. I am so retarded!
Where r u guys watching personal taste. tried to look at lmhworld subs but didn't see any videos.

PS How many people here are viikiilans? When I was watching SFFTS I was like, I remember the days we used to gave to wait 1 week for subs! Now some of them are up in a few hours! And bcuz of viikii Istarted listening to a lil bit of bulgarian music! Ah, what a small world viikii is!

@lola: I did the _exact_ same thing!! It was so funny when, 3 hours later I was like "wait a minute . . . oh my gosh, I'm STUPID!"

I don't know if javabeans reads these comments, but I have a request:

I'm watching Soulmate and was looking for the unofficial soundtrack (since the official is ridiculously inefficient lol). But, javabeans, the torrent at d-addicts is no longer available because people are no longer seeding it.

Javabeans, could you pretty please upload the songs the way you did for the Coffee Prince soundtrack? *gets on bended knees* I haven't been able to find all the songs any where else.

Thank you!

So (coughs) I never watched What's Up Fox? I'm going to remedy that soon. The weather is amazing this weekend. I will take whatever I can get as long as it isn't torrential rain.

@20 anonymous

Seeding now through d-addict's Torrage link - and I'll leave it up for a couple of hours - tell me a specific time and I'll seed then. If THAT doesn't work, since d-addicts moved a bunch of their torrents since I last seeded, I'll put it up in private file for you. It's 2 files, Soulmate OST, and Soulmate OST 2. It's not totally complete but pretty darned close.

@ #23 lb_tmi: I found the raw of ep 1 of Cinderella's Sister from Googling: cinderella's sister raw. The first result is a forum and you have to create a login, but I was able to get into it and they had a Megaupload link available. Good luck!

As for my random thoughts, I'm looking forward to a lot of things now that school is almost done. Can't wait for July 1st (last day of class), but before that is my bf's graduation on May 8 and then mine a week after. Yay. And I'm doing a group Las Vegas trip for a big post school party. Can't wait. Hope everyone has a good weekend. I'm a lapsed Catholic so while I still make note of Christmas and Easter, I don't celebrate or even remember them sometimes. Happy Spring to everyone. :)

Happy Friday and Good Friday to everyone!!

Work has been insane from the get-go, but that's good for me. Keeps me busy and also makes me learn faster, especially since it's just me and another girl today.

Almost done with SMM... looving it. My noona-killer bummie is really killin me here. I actually really did like the grey hair on him!

@ twin

don't know if you're talkin about downloads or streaming, but on d-addicts you can dl it under 'Personal Preference' and 'Cinderella Sister' or 'Cinderella Unni'

Looking forward to my weekend of vegging :)

@23 lb_tmi am-addiction.com has it. Register with them, reply to the thread with a quick comment (in their forum section) and you're granted access to the download links to that thread. Soompi probably has download links too in their forum, though you'll have to scroll through their posts.

Happy Friday, all!

So my co-worker gave me these bottles of Korean liquor, one called bokbunjajoo (korean raspberry wine) and one moonbaesool. Now, the only korean alcohol that I'm familiar with is soju from watching all those drinking at the street stalls scenes in k-drama so not sure what to do with these. Are they drank straight out of the bottles like soju or do they need to be mixed with something else? How is the taste?

i was hoping to not have to register w/ any more forums (as i've already forgot my username and password to so many forums!).. i may just have d-addicts or soompi send me my passwords again and go from there. thanks for the suggestions, everyone! i appreciate the help!

@ twin

i liked the gray on Bummie too.. and just when i thought he'd keep it, he went black again. which kinda turns him back to child-man instead of noona-killer. just a notch down, okay, it's just ONE-HALF notch. :D

gah, I'm hunting all kind of Kdramas sources since Aja-aja closed for public. It's sad but understandable, so no other way than finding other sites.
this information I got from WithS2's site though!
and yes, you can register on AM-Addiction too! It's a good site, very recommendable!

I just finished the YB box set last night... I hadn't really noticed first time around just how many shawl/cowl things Go Min Nam had in her wardrobe. It's an impressive collection.

Happy Easter to all those celebrating and those just enjoying a well-earned long weekend. Happy Friday to everyone.

i actually just finished my first round of watching YB yesterday morning. i wish i were on the YB train earlier so i could have gotten a YB directors cut box. i would have easily forked over the moola and made my family starve for a few days.. it was THAT good. i am so getting a mini pig-rabbit to carry around w/ me everywhere. along w/ Jeremy pogs. :D

@ twin

really??? why did i think i had to sign in? cuz i've totally forgotten my info. now onto figuring out that torrent stuff.. haha.

man-child=YES =noona-killer
child-man=not so yes. still kinda jailbait-like. needs to progress to man-child so he can be a YES. lol.

@ djes

hey, that site is great!!! i think i'll use that first :) thank you!!!

TGIF!! Happy (long) Easter wkend and drama-watching! (lots to choose from this wk).

Cinderella's Sister (raw) - ditto for Personal Taste/Prosecution Princess - can be found here.
1) http://www.dramastyle.com/drama/Cinderellas-Sister/

another streaming site which normally is first to upload, real fast (i notice even the dramastyle site uploads feed off tudou sometimes)- is the Chinese tudou site.
you do sometimes need to know Chinese to navigate though.
2) http://www.tudou.com/playlist/list.do.

another one i use (slower to upload - like 3 hr later) but uploads come loaded with bonus Chinese subs to fill in those blanks after watching raws.
3) http://www.natnatvip.org/2009/09/schedule-for-updates-of-dramas.html

Enjoy!

Yes! I was more on the Jeremy boat this time around--last time I did like him (esp the crying-singing) but I was riveted by his Prince Valiant hair. Now I would definitely want the Jeremy pogs!!

Speaking of music, I keep meaning to ask... Does anyone know anything about the group Reason Ave? They have one song on the Coffee Prince soundtrack and it's my favourite. When I was in Seoul last year I tried to find their CDs (tried a number of shops) but had no luck. The sales clerks didn't seem to recognize the name even. I would love to get more of their music, if anyone can give me some pointers on where to get it.

Thanks in advance!

happy friday! enjoying my weekend by watching Personal Taste...really liked the drama after watching Episode 1. still have to see the 2nd episode but loved Son Ye-jin's transformation and Lee Min-ho was really great...

Now on a You're Beautiful marathon...I'm quite late to jump in but I'm currently on Episode 6, it is now making me smile, Jang Geun-seok and Jung Yong-hwa are so adorable...I love the drama's feel good vibe

Good Friday peeps, and let's give a Happy Easter!!

Whose following Dong Yi? What do you think of it so far?

Whose looking forward to A Man Called God this wkend? What do you think of all the magic tricks? How many illusionary scenes will this entire series pertain? (Cheesy! Makes me crack a laugh though when I discover how cheesy it can get.)

This week zipped by for me trying to squeeze time in to watch Personal Taste, Cinderella Sister, P.S. Man, Down with Love, Because of You, Oh My Lady, and Dong Yi. (Great Gatsby, I saw all that!?! I really need to balance my qi this wkend and be more outdoors with nature.)

Hope you all have a fun and safe Spring Break!

Ah, Open Thread Day! (It's like the grand holiday).

@Sere: High-fives!

--

Why does April have to be sooooo busy!? I mean, yes, I'm happy. So much to keep me entertained, but I'm going to get panda eyes from the lack of sleep! I slept at 2:30 am to watch Cinderella's Sister (AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!) and woke up insanely tired today. Ahh, I had to watch my little nephew who always goes to my bedroom in the mornings to wake me up. GAHHHH.

"Emo (aunt), who's going to take care of me?" (Note: he's a living prince who likes to be spoiled. He doesn't even want to put a blanket on himself or feed himself cereal despite being 4. Direct Translation of comment: He wants me to be his slave.)

You see, when you have to hear that from a 4 year old with an insanely flower-boy face and cuddle you as he says that - you can't refuse. And than 10 minutes later he likes to rub his face against your "chubs" (any part of your body that's not bone-skinny is "chubs"), which is arms or legs, and says "I like your chubs -smiles-". GAHHH.

My mood is so... awful. I sound like a mean Aunty (Me + Kids = NO). Weather doesn't help either... It was freezing cold a few days ago where it was still considered Winter, and there was even a tornado and hail the other day. But BAM! it's Summer. Where's my Spring!? I adore Summer season to bits, but the transformation in seasons is too... quick. My spring clothes... *grumbles*

Okay, back to K-drama. Watched Cinderella Sister... and it blew me away. There's a special allure about it, except for Seo Woo's voice. Geez, I want to whack her, put her on a chair, and force her to talk NORMAL. Yet, her character seems so innocent and pure. I just... can't. All leads have such a charm, I had to repeat certain scenes over again (Chun's smile when he first meets Moon!)

Definitely adding this to the Must Buy DVD List. Muah.

@lb_tmi (or anyone who's interested in RAW videos without having to sign up for anything):

Check out this website:

http://tek1nn.wordpress.com/

He (she?) has links (megaupload) to raw episodes of Cinderella Unni, Personal Taste, Prosecutor Princess, Dong Yi, Life is Beautiful, Oh! My Lady, and The Birth of the Rich (and others, but I don't remember what they all are).

Hope I helped! =]

@ relunctantbutaddicted

i was totally a Jeremy lover, more so than either TK or SW. i actually didn't feel much of anything for SW. there were only 3 instances that i felt for him, a little.. the seudo-date, the shadow scene, and the shoes scene. other than that, nope.. didn't feel bad for him. but i LOVED jeremy in EVERY scene he was in.. every time he ate something, i loved him more. the first bus scene he was awesome, and then he completely topped it w/ the second bus scene. LOVE HIM!!! and i did actually grow to like TK.. finally. :)

@ twin

that's exactly who i was thinking of when i was typing up my child-man description--SHINee!!! but i do think that JH is more a noona-killer for me than the others.. the rest are too child-man for me.

@ isk4020 and Carinne

thanks! he will be my go to for currently airing dramas for sure!!!
