First time we hit 0 Celsius this winter, and it has to be with strong wind and snow. Shame that trick-or-treating tends to involve kids in full-blown snow suit intervention. Speaking of which, what are you planning to do for Halloween?

I will start referring to the first orchestra (Hee Yun, Yi Deun, Kim, Bae etc) as ‘Kang’s Irregulars’, because they really are.

He cooks, cleans, is relentlessly nice and has innate musical talent. If this was craigslist, Gun Woo would be so taken.

Only the one episode this week, due to a soccer game on Wednesday. The good news is that the ratings broke 20%.

Alas, that this shiny, happy couple is no more. (On the other hand, this does break the trend of having Kang Mae here and weakening some people’s resolve. :P)

Finally, ze weekend is here! I’d like to just take a moment to say to all you eligible Canucks out there - take some time this weekend to inform yourselves, then vote on the 14th. (That’s Tuesday, btw.) Go, because it’s important that democratic rights should be exercised, or else why bother? At the current participation rates we could just let Michaëlle Jean dictate foreign policy and no one would CARE.

Do it for yourself, even if democracy often doesn’t work out to be that great, it’s still better than the alternatives.

Also, happy Thanksgiving, folks. Try not to eat too much turkey. (ETA: The Canadian Thanksgiving. Sorry for the confusion. :P)

On to the recap!!

For he is an awesome conductor, though we need to work on the communication skills a bit.

Oh, Twilight trailer at 1:55, you have got to be kidding me. On to official business! If I have not mentioned it before, let it be known to all now: Kim Myung Min is made of awesome.

Screencaps belong to Luv.

I miss my Kang Gun Woo interaction. D:

Choi Su-jong of “Dae Jo Young,” Kim Haneul of “On Air”

Nominees are out for the 2008 Korea Drama Festival awards, and the list is rather ho-hum. For example, the nominees for Best Drama are: Legend (MBC), Mom’s Dead Upset (KBS), Dae Jo Young (KBS), and Gourmet (SBS).

At first I was disappointed in the list of nominees, but then I thought back to the year and realized it’s just been a ho-hum year for dramas overall. Although, if we’re nominating Legend for Best Drama, which premiered over a year ago in September 2007, surely there are other series that have been overlooked.

The Korean Drama Festival runs from November 1 through 5 in Jinju; see the nominee list beyond the jump.
