“Soulmate” Song List Posted
by | October 16, 2007 | 42 Comments
I was looking through some of my files today, and came across this list of songs for the series Soulmate, sorted by episode. (I’d found it compiled on a Korean site when first watching the drama, and translated the list.) Those of you who’ve been reading this site for a while know how much I... More »

Wherein I self-critique
by | September 11, 2007 | 63 Comments
I like seeing how other people translate, for a few reasons. For one, it helps me improve my own translations, seeing how others express a phrase, plus I’m curious at how I’d do things differently. Lily over at the now-defunct jlandsubs.com used to write posts analyzing her translations, comparing hers to other translations of the... More »

Excuse the squealing nine-year-old girl; blame anime
by | September 7, 2007 | 35 Comments
Oh man, oh man, oh man. Excuse me for a second while I ramble on about totally irrelevant (to kdrama) things for a second. My heart just stopped for a second reading that apparently a major Hollywood-ified Robotech film is in the works with the possible intent of being transformed into a live-action franchise. Holy...

For the bored and random
by | August 30, 2007 | 35 Comments
Keke. Totally just for kicks and giggles… Today’s useless but amusing toy of the day comes via Pop Candy, which, if you’re unaware, is a fantastic blog on American/Western pop culture. Not the Perez Hilton-y, slagging-on-poptarts (or as they say, “celebutard”) kind of pop culture, but a witty, smart, ironic kind that skews a little... More »

For Your Reading Pleasure
by | August 9, 2007 | 21 Comments
I said I still had something up my sleeve, didn’t I? You may have noticed a new tab up at the top of the page ^. Yup, I’ve posted the scripts of various Korean dramas (in their original Korean), so now you can read through and see just what the heck they’re saying! Note that... More »

This Time it’s More Like Zen Annoyance
by | July 31, 2007 | 21 Comments
OMG you guys. So by now you’ve all heard my big server upgrade moan-and-groan story. Over the weekend, I upgraded from shared hosting (which was killing me with limiting my CPU restrictions, which build up very quickly when highly trafficked). I’d outgrown my little shared hosting plan and needed my own space. And now, thanks... More »

Dramabeans, Now With More Zen Violence
by | July 29, 2007 | 25 Comments
Dare I say it? … dare I hope? … …that the site is now working? If you’ve dropped by anytime in the past two days, you’ll have noticed lots of weirdness. You may have noticed that I’d posted two posts that have since disappeared — they were both just there to let you know of... More »

Moving in
by | June 28, 2007 | 40 Comments
I’ve moved! Please update bookmarks and feeds and all that good stuff. The javabeans.wordpress.com site will stay up indefinitely, but I’ll be updating here instead. I’d been thinking of upgrading to my own host for a while now, but I’m lazy. I should’ve done it earlier — it’s a pain moving once you’re settled in.... More »

Fansubs and drama addictions
by | May 7, 2007 | 16 Comments
Clearly I’m a kdrama addict, and if you’re here, you probably are too. So you might want to hop over and check out Popseoul’s new fansubbing-related post to see how badly your addiction measures up. For me, a large part of my kdrama addiction interest relates to fansubbing, which is a curious thing. Despite the... More »
