    I haven’t seen bad guy so I was just wondering out loud again. I have my pollyanna glad notes still going about playful kiss so…It is good to see others complimenting her work :)

    Thank you for your praise. Please do not hurt yourself too much with the laughing. I don’t want to be charged with anything criminal. “Woman found giggling near death, after hospitalization found to have k-limericks bookmarked.”

    oh the sadness of it… I worry

    I love warehouse 13, lots of goofy fun. And I also watch the worst directing on the planet that is Dong Yi. Can’t get enough of the big eyed shock. Or the twisted mouth of the current queen’s brother. Loving it! The cameras linger so long on every shot and accentuate every bad angle and over done spit-taked face. Truly the phrase “so bad it is good” fits this show.

    Antique Bakery was serious eye candy, but it was also one of the only BL adaptations I have seen in Kdrama/cinema. Then again it was crazy popular in japan as a manga and an anime. Both of which I loved.

    They did abbreviate the story a lot to crush everything into a single movie. If you liked the film I would watch the anime to get the whole story. It also has many more hysterical scenes.

    @Leonardswench

    Thanks for the movie, I shall enjoy it this week since i had her good things about it even before your post. :)

    @supah: That’s right, sharing is caring. But you can have all the CPY you want girl hahaha. Aww, I kid.

    I just realized there was a show I was meaning to watch, then went off my radar, then I remembered because it’s gonna be on tonight and it’s called Moteki with Moriyama Mirai and other people.. one who happens to be Kikuchi Rinko. Yes, that Kikuchi Rinko. (I know she was in Liar Game 2 but bare with me, this show will be more appealing to me). Tetsu no Hone was very dramatic. The other day I was thinking “Where the heck is Takahashi Issei lately” and he was in episode 2. Yes, I was able to spot him in the previews and went “Wait a second.. time to download this”.

    All the talk about playful kiss… I’m just disinterested it in the first place, I would have been interested if park bo young was in it, she since she’s not I don’t care to watch it. I don’t wish ill on the cast, it just isn’t a story I’m interested in. I’d rather watch Gumiho, and I’m interested in the new Bae Doo Na show Gloria.. which is another 50 episodes.. nooo

    Just got a call from my boss
    Have to go back, am at a loss
    drama’s can’t wait
    and I am late
    Dearest IPod, don’t make me cross

    I don’t think it had enough time to charge.

    Keep up the good fight for 500 while I am gone. I should be back soon.

    @janna
    Dude, Jung Bo-suk is one gorgeous, gorgeous man, no really, he is. So thank you.
    But, since he has a male fan following, any open fangirling/ogling, may put some of this male audience off him. So I’ll like… try and control myself and stuff. (OK, I’ll admit, as CPY he’s terrifying — runs!)

  9. 459 supah

    Gloria:
    You too janna? I’m planning on watching it for Suh Ji-suk (who was great in OB-GYN) who’ll be paired opposite Bae Doona. I think it’ll just be a casual watch, just skim through it when I’m bored kind of thing, there’s no way I could commit myself to another 50 episode-length show.

  10. 460 janna

    @supah: “since he has a male fan following” For reals?!

  11. 461 janna

    About Gloria – Yes, yes, yes. How can I deny time with Koreas favorite brother-in-law Lee Chun Hee. (Probably no one calls him this, but I want to. Spread it like wildfire)

  12. 462 supah

    @janna Yeah, for reals, my own brothers.

  13. 463 diadda

    temporarily back from work. I hate living a block from my job sometimes. Other times it is fantastic. Anyway i see the new OT is up :( ahh well not like we still can’t hit 500 here. But still there is sadness.

  14. 464 supah

    @janna
    I’m surprised you’re surprised though, but I’m sure he garnered enough ahjumma love in his High Kick days too.

    Lee Chun-hee is great too, and the overall premise. Lounge singers, gangsters and er, rich people… Not like we’re not seeing it already in Giant but more the merrier.

  15. 465 supah

    @diadda
    Oh, so close. Sorry, I’m still at work or I would’ve spammed it out.

    @ supah, EoE ending episode and final scene thoughts:

    first, I was crying for like, the last ten episodes, off and on, especially any tender moments that I knew were leading to ‘that’ ending. Every time Dong Wook said ‘hyung” I would throw things at the screen and shut the door so I could cry scream rant like the insane woman I was. I actually hoped that it had all been wrong even until the end. (As I said, way way way too invested in Dong Chul!)

    But, hey, if I’m going to invest in 56 episodes, I want my payoff.

    Final scene: bedazzled, well, I wasn’t. On one hand, it was a set-up to explain the sacrifices ‘he’ made all the way through EoE (father-to-son ‘this is how you will live your life’), and it was a total letdown as a payoff. On the other hand, at least it was more consistent with the story flow than other moments. That said, it was a little heartwarming, but not enough after what I went through for 56 episodes.

    Sorry, trying to say all of this without giving spoilers, you know? My test, if you will, of whether something was worth it is to ask if I want the hours back, and even with all my angst, I don’t want them back. I love the Dong Chul character and I am still hooked to this day. I will watch again when I can have a more critical and less emotional eye … and probably get my heart robbed all over again.

  17. 467 Leonardswench

    Forgot to say, as with all melos, I hope for the good and the bad, and I know that Dong Chul could have never been the man he became without the stressors and enemies hat shaped him, as well as the father figures he had.

    Also, if, by chance, you mean the last image of SSH, I’m always bedazzled. Seriously, that man takes smoulder to whole new levels for me. I need ovary-gro replacement after watching him in EoE.

    As my last post over here, I shall list all my limericks in one spot. (easier for me to find them later :) )

    There once was a girl named friday.

    She wrote on the superhighway.

    _____

    I once met a gal named Java

    whose recaps were hot like lava.

    We did a moon dance
    
when we pulled down our pants
    
And served fangirls with chianti and fava
    ______
    Ever meet Jang Geun Suk
    
Long hair perfects his look

impregnates those phased

    And the legend lives on in toon
    ______
    Siwon and Heechul make out all the time

    ______
    Have you ever seen my Man won bin?

    ______
    Kim Jae Won his smile so bright
    
On his teacher he had his sight

    He’s a cutey patooty

    so she grabbed his booty
    
and ran with all her might
    _______
    No way he has a *%$#!

    Too pretty to be a chick!

    A king or Clown
    
A drag queen was found
    
in the army so come back quick.
    _______
    There once was a boy at a car shop
    
with no money he’d make them all hop

    He then found a girl
    
in a dress of pearl
    
and smiled as he made her heart stop.
    ______
    Her name was Kim Sam Soon
    
Her dancing made men swoon
    
her hips gave a shake
    
as she baked a cake

    and her boss licked the spoon
    _____
    Let me dream of Lee Dong Gun
    
A type B man of friends and fun
    
as the kiss will tell

    Miss Sun-Ah fell

    For his charm and perky buns.
    ______
    His name has to be Bi

    with chest for all to see
    
He sings his songs

    we pray that it’s long

    and pleasing for fans nightly
    ______
    Why’d that Fox forget

    a butt her hand had met
    
In a heart bed

But TOP is much more fun

    He likes to rap
    
a girl on his lap

    and play with his big gun
    ______
    How can he play a priest?
    
His body’s a sumptuous feast.

    Yes he got hitched

    and his car was ditched

    But I don’t mind the least.
    ______
    Kim Bum has these dimples

    no, it’s not that simple
    
right next to his lips
    
or next to his hips…

    now I have goose pimples
    ______

    What a busy boy was he
    
Precious Song Joong Ki

    A Doctor that skates
    
or a student that dates
    
oh make some time for me
    ________
    Still never to be avoided

    When kisses he claimed a Boy did
    
girls love this Flower

    and dream of his power

    One night to be exploited

    That should be all except for those on this page

    Can I share my thought, I like strong character of CSW from City Hall, Choi Chul Ho, Lee Dong Wook from Partner. I hope Min Ho wont transform like Bae Young Jun even though I love him on Winter Sonata.
