Happy Friday everyone!

Any Cinderella's Sister fans in the house? What do you think about the dynamic between Hyo-sun and Eun-jo? I can't decide if Hyo-sun is still Cinderella or has gone to the dark side. And does anyone else want Eun-jo to just yell at Ki-hoon, "You left me, you jerk, and you never even called!" and have a huge shouting match to get all this angst out of the way?

hello!

I just finished watching Cinderella's Sister (episode 6)...and I just have to say that each episode is absolutely breathtaking, and at the end, I always can't help but say: Wow.

Amazing plot development and characterization. The characters are so complex, exactly like how normal humans are...or maybe even more complicated.

Loving the show so far. I thought it would kind of die down after the characters left their teenage years and entered their adulthood... but that is definitely not the case.

If anyone has not watched it yet, I definitely suggest you give it a try!
I always watch the episodes, and read the recap on dramabeans afterwords :)
This drama is so amazing that you really have to watch every single moment of it, because every expression, every word, every scene is just so powerful and meaningful!

Happy friday!! Anyone else watched episode 6 of personal taste? Feel like I'm watching it alone...

I was nearly bawling towards the end of episode 6.... Still waiting for the recaps, but nevertheless, I'm really enjoying this drama. It's not as comedic as I thought it'd be, but I like the dynamics between the four so far. Inhee and Changryul & the highly complicated relationship between Jinho and Kaein that builds up throughout the episode. Hope I'm not spoilering but watching it alone makes me want to share :P

@#1@#2: Fellow CS fan here! This is my first drama that I watch the same week it comes out! So good. I just finished Ep 6 last night. I'm really loving all of the suspense and great acting. @1 I really wish he would just backhug her and let her yell at him and then turn her around and hug her and make it all go away. I bet there are some letters he's written over the years in a drawer in Hyo Sun's room somewhere, don't you think? :) The side story of his family, while understandable to add some drama to the drama, will be sad because you can just see how it will sort of play out in the future. As for the Hyo-sun dynamic, I think Eun jo is still holding her at arm's length, and Hyo-sun still wants to be close, however she's covering that up with a large amount of resentment built up over the years. I have to admit that while I don't really like her character (Hyo-sun), I understand her. Growing up in my family , I was always compared to someone else and I hated it. Now that I am doing alright for myself, I hear family members using me to compare my other cousins and I try to put a sop to it when I can, but it's sad to see the hurtful tradition continue . You want to be loved for who you are, but that's hard to find sometimes.

happy friday!

anyone watched Prosecutor Princess ep 6?

anyway, the last scene made me clap my hands like crazy lil girl..haha~
In Woo had solidify his status as the most stalker-ish person ever in k-drama land..
really made me totally curious to find out what's actually going on in his mind..

and I agree that watching Cinderella's Sister latest ep really really made me hold my breath almost at all the scene.. and again last scene also made me feels like want to scream at the top of my lungs..MGY really put her emotions at the right pace..

In a nutshell, I am loving PP and CS to the bits and it's taking a toll on me as I've my final exam coming up next week. . . .
ahhhh..Wednesday never comes this late..

@4 Yen --> Yeah, I was thinking something similar. Eun-jo really made her relationship with Hyo-sun into a self-fulfilling prophecy; she pushed and pushed until finally Hyo-sun broke, so she really has no one to blame but herself. As much as it makes me sad, because I think EJ really needs her little sister, I can't see her really doing anything else, nor can I really blame her for it -- she just doesn't understand normal family relationships. It breaks my heart to see just how starved she is for love without really understanding that that's what she needs -- she keeps pushing aside all those who are trying to love her, i.e. her step-father and Hyo-sun in particular. And now Ki-hoon, although you can't really call that 100% her fault, since Hyo-sun pulled that nasty trick at the end of episode 4. I really hope that there's a drawer full of his letters somewhere, but then again, he WAS back in Korea every school break, he could have picked up the phone and called her at least once. But oh, well, if he did we wouldn't have a show to watch.

KBS Priorities:

It is NOT OK for you to be in a fictional music video where you're like an....uhhh alien?.... driving without a seatbelt, or dancing on the highway with all your blinged out friends. (Lee Hyori music video Chitty Chitty Bang Bang MV banned)

It is PERFECTLY FINE for you to be in a fictional drama where you follow this girl who is obviously not in the mood to play games whilst in your car and drag race it out with the possibilty that one of you veers off the steep countryside road and bites it. (Cinderella Unni).

To summarize: you can tailgate, just wear your seatbelt and don't get out to dance in the street, ok? :D

@3 meltedd

Count me in as watching PT and banking CU and PP for later. My limit is about 3 dramas, so since I'm also watching AMCG and OML that's my 3. I couldn't do CU right after Chuno. My poor little heart couldn't take it.

Of course, I'm also banking Harvest Villa and Dong Yi until it comes on MBC America - they've still got Pasta playing and I've got the parental units bugging me about when DY is going to come on already. We do love a saguek around here.

I think this is actually the most I've had going since I started watching k-dramas.

Anyway - PT - the leads are holding it together, but honestly, the secondary characters are stellar. I still want General Choi for Xmas, but the rest of the Chuno alumni - Kim Ji Suk here and Jo Jin Woong in AMCG are really making themselves known.

Happy Friday everyone!!! This week has *again* alternately seemed long and short. Too long between CU eppies and for some reason I feel like last weekend just happened as well lol

@ janna

haha!! i saw that Hyori's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang MV was banned. While I didn't watch the whole thing, it didn't seem so bad? A litlte weird but nothing like... BAD. Sigh, I feel like the stations just like to randomly ban things, and then there's an apology and the ban is lifted. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Re: CU. I watched ep 5 raw and with the short summary that my twin provided, felt what the episode was about. And then i watched it with subs and OMG... How freakin' kick ass is EJ?! Like, seriously. She is the most awesome person ever. I hated HS for hiding KH's letter, but right now, I can understand her feeling of not belonging anywhere. EJ has her dad's admiration and attention and now the mom is focused on her son and HS is just floating around. But it just shows how awesome EJ is when she tells HS like it is - no sugar coating, just 'get your a$$ in order!' <3!

today promises to be a hectic day at work. boo.

I think that Ki Hoon feels guilty and angry at the same time. Even if Eun-jo had gotten the letter, it does not make things any better!
Asking someone to wait for 8 years, and saying that he came back every single summer to Korea and never contacted her would infuriate any female.
@1 - I really want the shouting match!!! That's why I was quite pleased with the car scene. That was ALMOST fighting. Haha. But it could be even more intense!
He never said sorry :( That makes me kind of sad. Even if he might be mad that she is ignoring him, but he didn't say he was sorry for leaving. He didn't say he was sorry for not saying goodbye to her.

Although I feel that Ki Hoon really wants to find his connection/relationship with Eun-jo again, he knows that he can't. He wants to reach out to her, but from some scenes we can tell that because of family reasons (most likely) he can't approach her the same way he did 8 years ago.

Hyo Sun is getting extremely interesting. I love how the episodes are adding her own monologue now, and not just Eun-jo's. Hopefully we'll hear some from Ki Hoon soon!
I think Seo Woo (actress who plays Hyo Sun) portrays the contrasts within the one character very well. One particularly striking scene was somewhere in the middle of episode...4? When Hyo Sun was annoyed at Eun-jo who wanted to know Ki Hoon's whereabouts, and her father entered the room, forcing Hyo Sun to say "Unni, I love you" as tears rolled down her face. That was great.

Senior sem is almost DONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE! I have to hand it in by 5 today, and then I don't have to think about it ever again!!! Bahahahaha~

Also, my housemate accidentally outed our gay friend to one of his classmates yesterday, right after they'd had a man-hug. It was awesomely hilarious (unlike Jinho in PT, our friend is ACTUALLY gay, and really doesn't care if anyone knows), and thankfully the other guy is open-minded enough to just be like, "Oh, cool. Rock on. :)" Still, it made for an entertaining 20 minutes. Almost like the Senior Dinner on Tuesday, where this same friend was basically outed to the entire senior class after being given an award for his involvement in PRIDE and his activism in promoting awareness and whatnot. It was fun to watch everyone's expressions as he walked up to receive it. ;)

I love my friends. :)

Annnnnnndddddd..now back to senior sem! After today, I can FINALLY allow myself to watch all of the dramas I've been putting off. :D

Any Cinderella’s Sister fans in the house?

WHY, this house is full of CS's fans! :D
I'm still downloading ep.6 but already read those spoilers in soompi's thread :P
( darn, slow internet connection! )

i'm tired this week, but I have tons of laundries that I have to iron. Live by your own is suck, especially in the country where everyone else has their maids....and I hate doing house chores.
So I really feel yo, Kae In, but hell I'll clean up the house 5 times a day if I can have hot housemate like Minho!

( what's with these ramblings? I guess there's something wrong with my brain nowadays :D )

Happy Friday!

I enjoyed ep 5 & 6 of CS because we got to see how the main characters have changed ovr the years. EJ has obviously matured, which is nice, but has also managed to keep some of her infuriatingly EJ-ish traits like not allowing HS's father to get too close etc. MGY plays the cool 8-yrs-later EJ really well. HS seems to have not matured at all, other than in terms of her looks. Bah.

Hm, I'm a bit unsure as to why KH was so annoyed/curt with EJ when he first got back. I get that EJ would be annoyed with him since she thinks he basically just left her (GAHH to HS for not giving her the letter!!) but I don't really get KH. Maybe he tried to send letters to her all those years but somehow EJ never got them (koffHyo-sunkoff)? Hm. I guess we'll find out.

All in all, good episodes! Can't wait for the recaps and for eps 7 & 8 next weeeek! :D

okay cinderella sister fans....we had another 2 great episode but nothing beats ep 4 for me,,,because it holds now a special place in my heart.

in ep 5, what strucked me the most is the first and last scene...the convo between eunjo and hyosun, we are starting to see some of hyosun's complexities (as if the writers didn't give us enough) and the heart-tugging eunjo-ya...that is like my favorite phrase now...and no one, i dare say no one should utter it convincingly like my baby-faced cjm...its like its eunjo's weakness and strength at the same time, kinda like her cure and poison...and i like it when she threaten (like "ill kill you if you do) kihoon to not say it again, because she might be healed or poisoned by those words... then we head to ep6 where the last scene between ej and her motheris just pure awesome...omg the scream...mgy, you're just the love of my life...its like her life has been sucked out of her with that scream bec of what her mother told her...maybe SPOILER: its like for a second she wanted a fantasy that her mother liked daesung so that she could be for once worthy to be given the love and care daesung gives to her...

and how annoying it is that it doesn't have preview....wed please comeand ep 7 be more epic than ep 6 or better yet ep 4....

Well, I'm a CS fan too, even though I actuallu only watched ep 1 with subs and read JB amazing recaps^^ I can only say I loved how EJ dug her own grave with her sister because she just couldn't accept the love she was awkwardly throwing at her. It's something to see a character so afraid of loving she feels more comfortable being hated (I'm referring to ep 3, or 4? I don't remember). I have a soft spot for this kind of personality. Speaking of other dramas, I discovered Prosecutor princess today, and the argument in ep 1 concerning the skirt made me think of "Ally Mc Beal" and the way she had to fight to keep her skirts short as they are at court, brings back fond memories^^
I also have a strong passion for OB/GYN: this drama is just awesome, I want more dramas of that kind in the future!

Okay!
FIrst time participating in the open thread.

Also obsessed with Cinderella's Sister. All the actors are GREAT, the plot is wonderful, well I'm not gonna repeat what everyone has said already... It's been more than 2 years I haven't been THIS obsessed and excited about a drama, and given the number I watch THAT'S saying something!

Unfortunatly, I'm in no mood for sageuk or romantic comedies at the moment... Tried personnal taste but got bored ( still kept the episodes... you never know...), Tried Oh my Lady but couldn't get attached to the characters... Chae Rim's daughter is actually pissing me off. Don't like the way she acts. So for now I'm just enjoying one show...

And THANK GOD It saves the whole drama week!

The whole OST is great by the way. My fav being "Minor Waltz" ( the song played at the end of episode 4)

Wednesday is gonna be long to come, but I'm glad I can share ideas with all our fellow soompiers ^^

AJA!

MUFFIN LOVE!!! PP fan right here!!!

can't wait for this week's episode - been putting it off since i have so much school work to do first before i get to watch it. i heard that eps 5-6 were game changers for In Woo's character...

Someone said that Hye Ri's antics are getting annoying - if I were just watching another drama like this I would normally agree. however for some REALLY WEIRD reason, i don't find her annoying just yet. maybe it's the way that kim so yeon plays her, or the way the character is just so logical too with her explanations. i feel more pity for her than anything - especially in her relationship with her father/family.

but i love a mama's girl any day, 'cause i'm one too! =D

My take on CS:
Moon Geun Young and Taecyeon tried too hard to fit into their characters it came off as forced and a little overacting.

CMJ and Seo Woo handled their roles much better and more naturally, I think.

the plot is fine but some scenes are really unnecessarily dramatic.

First time on open thread!

Someone mentioned OB/GYN. Suddenly felt like trying even though series ended already. Medical dramas are quite my thing. I was a crazy New Heart follower back when it aired.

@27: could you by any chance be referring to the following song?
f(x) krystal & luna's 불러본다 (calling out)

This song was only released like two days ago. So I was also equally curious and eager to find out who/what the song is when I was watching ep3. Anyways hooray! the entire ost was released on April 15! i can now enjoy the instrumentals i love. such as the one that was playing in the momentous chase scene.

Although I'm trying to follow all three wed-thur dramas, CS is the one that really sucked me in big time. I'm mad. I live in a GMT+8 region, and I simply stay up till 2-3am every thur/fri (after the drama's aired. past midnight should be considered the next day right?) waiting for the chinese subs to be released. Damn, these chinese subbers are efficient. I haven't found any fault with CS yet... except that ep5 and 6 seemed to lack enough kick after the phenomenal episode 4. and darn. i'm so upset that there wasn't a proper trailer. i will be stalking KBS site daily. They'd probably only upload it by monday or tuesdays anyways.

For PT, I like the cast but the drama's not doing that much for me here. Why do I feel like Kaein and Jinho are having a meal every 7 min interval. Is that seriously the only time they can bond? So far the drama is getting a tad boring. I can see all those trite kdrama plots being dug out of the grandma's closet. I seriously *fainted* at the sight of having to to endure another "guy sits in the boutique waving fingers like a wand while ugly duckling twirls out of the dressing room with different outfits" moments. eeks. Not necessarily for the scriptwriter to spin such an intricate spider web of romantic relations either. hyemi-taehun combo is friggin annoying too.

PP is quite an interesting show but it borderlines "ridiculous" plots. I realized that even though it's ranked third in ratings, there seems to be more online cult followers of this drama than PT. (on TW PTT board) I think there may be something here, but I am somehow stuck at episode 3. Can't will myself forward. Perhaps it's the fact that I can't stand how Ma Hye Ri is such a bimbo (even though she has an IQ of 125).. Can't bring myself to empathize with her. I'm not on her team. Reading the recaps, the first and second male leads also seem to be rather vague here. I so hope it isn't Se Joon. I don't like his stiff character. I'm with team In Woo here.

Overall, I'm a solid CS fan. As for PT/PP I'll have to wait a while more to decide if I wanna drop them. But I am still likely to keep reading the recaps. I realized recaps could sometimes be more entertaining and logical than the dramas itself. Dramabeans is truly a haven for kdrama addicts. :D

@35 dramalover

I had to stop watching it because of the intense acting that I felt was overboard. I was getting a headache putting up with MGY's character and now with Trayceon having the same non-smiling face. Seems like the only normal person is the father and everyone else needs to go into therapy!

@ momosan

By all means you gotta follow DONG YI! I am loving it and so impressed with Han Hyo Joo! She's doing an excellent job as DY.....and Ji Jin-hee as the King is wonderful! Just finished episode 7....what an enjoyable saeguk drama!

Yay for Cinderella's Sister! It's definitely my favorite drama of all the ones I'm watching right now, and for good reason. I think the writers know how to balance out all the melodrama with just the right amount of whimsy so we won't have another Will it Snow for Christmas on our hands. And can I just say.. the Moon Geun Young - Chun Jung Myung couple has me pulling fangirly hysterics every single time they share a scene together. It's almost bad enough that I cease breathing because I'm watching with such anticipation. :P

Now for PT.. it's gotten better in episodes 5 & 6 in my opinion. But does anyone else hate Wang Ji Hye's character of Kim In Hee as much as I do? She annoys the beejesus out of me and I can't stand watching her for more than 10 seconds. I think most people might find her annoying in an entertaining way, but I can't stand women who have a superiority complex and think they're so much better than everyone else, so In Hee just rubs me the wrong way.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not very excited about the news that Yoon Eun Hye will be taking on a cameo on PT. I feel like there are way too many love triangles as it is, and YEH's appearance will muck things up even further. Hopefully her character will be in very few episodes so the writers could flesh out the already existing triangles more because some of them are confusing the heck out of me. Does Chang Ryul still have feelings for Gae In? Why did he go to her house drunk? What the heck is In Hee's motivation in her advances towards Jin Ho? Argh, so confused.

what if KH also wrote other letters mentioning to meet him during his breaks but EJ never responded and came out to him.

perhaps that is a reason why he looks angry with her and has not apologized for leaving her. all at the same time EJ is all like.. u didnt come visit or call!?

yikes. i hope there's a collection of his letters somewhere... (like MKIKSS!)

Happy OT Friday!
@11 Do you mean Oh Ji Ho(TaeHa) or Jang Hyuk (Daegil)?
I'm still watching Chuno but I am on ep 21. All I can say is that since the show started I thought that it was pretty much a guarantee that Daegil would have a tragic end. I don't want to burst any bubbles but the hero is never eternally happy, especially not a tragic one. Saying that though, after seeing 20 I think that DG has so many moments of intense and true joy, that not matter the outcome, he can say that he lived well, loved hard and enjoyed the ride. Daegil is truly a blessed character. Tragic but blessed.
Taeha on the other hand will probably live happily Everafter. If he doesn't I think I may turn over a table or two. I don't actually love one over the other but I think that certain things work better for certain characters. Unless, everyone dies and for me that totally works too. Either way, I don't believe that whatever the case may, you will be too upset. But we'll have to see right? Let me know your thoughts when you are done. My drama buddy was a little pissed, but we have extremely different outlooks on oh too many things... ;)

@ Cinderella fans
So I suppose I need to start the show today, huh?

Still Kimura stalking...*sigh* What is a girl to do? Enjoy it? Yeah that's what I was thinking too. (kekeke :) )

Have a great weekend everyone! Welcome newcomers! Love to see new names and imagine virtual faces. Post away.

@39 soluna413

I'm not too annoyed at In Hee because she did get one-upped a few times and the Inhee x Changryul scenes are sort of amusing. I wouldn't go so far as to call this show funny since the humor is a bit off for me. And there is way too much repetition. Like someone else mentions, they seem to always bond over eating. Unnecessary flashbacks. Kae-in spilling the secret every episode. Kae-in getting teary over either lost love or having a childhood with no mom. Good thing this show's got a few good emotional moments and I do like Lee Min Ho's character though I think they should flesh him out more. I can see why he came off as a bit gay. He was raised by his mom, who is a very feminine woman.

@39 soluna413

In Hee's motivation for putting the moves on Jin Ho are a) Gae In challenged her - "He's gay, no matter what you do, you can't have him" b) she's a mean girl - she wants what Gae In has plus he took her place in the house and in Gae In's life c) she has a huge sense of entitlement thinking that she deserves everything she wants d) he's LMH and cute as a button and she's getting genuinely intrigued by his aloofness yet attentiveness.

In Hee is more or less supposed to rub you the wrong way. She's mean to darned near every one - Jin Ho and her boss being the exceptions at this point - her only moments of humanity are at the end of ep 6 and her embarrassment before Chang Ryul's father.

Chang Ryul probably still does have some feelings for Gae In. He went to her house more or less apologize and explain himself. At least he had the decency to know he'd done things seriously wrong and feel bad about things. Unlike In Hee who strolled right back into the house thinking all would be well again. Way to destroy your life - steal the bf of your supposed bestf and roommate for the last 10 years. At this point, she has zero friends.

Hye Mi - that girl needs a bitchslapping. Although clearly she's being directed OTT, just to get that effect.

As for the acting - it's pretty solid, but the secondary characters are making this. Sang Jun and Young Soon - priceless best friends. The father - oh man, it's hard to believe he's the same actor who was artist Bang - got to love the scar, though. Chang Ryul - almost making me leave Camp General Choi for Camp Wang Son - he's alternately pathetic and sympathetic.

Now, explaining the cult following that AMCG has - well - truthfully, for me, that thing is a gem of a show - absolutely a riot. But so so hard to explain without laughing or just throwing up your hands and saying "it's a cartoon."

Ahhhh, OBGYN... I am still waiting for someone to provide English subs for it. I kept the whole collection RAW format. I really like this series. Anybody know which SUB TEAM will provide subs (.srt)?

Anyone watching Because of You [aka Fairytale Below Starry Skies] starring Baron Chen, Lego Li, and Megan Lai? I can now see how Ella [S.H.E.] fell in love for Baron while watching this series. I am starting to like Lego Li as a human being. Keke.

Arrgh, Vivian Castle [AMCG] is simply an evil jealous woman. It's scary to see a jealous woman do terrible things afflicting harm towards the man she claims to love. Gees, how can one call that love?

The most laugh I receive this week is from Personal Taste, when SangJun played GAY in ep.05 calling JinHo 'chageya' in front of KaeIn and her best friend. He's [SangJun] too funny!

HAVE A SAFE WKEND PEEPS!

Hola! this is my 1st time on Open Thread too!

I'm totally sold on CS. The long wait for Wednesdays and Thursdays to arrive have started again for me.

Frankly speaking, i'm not convinced about Ki Hoon and Eun Jo's feelings for each other. I just don't get how Ki Hoon fell in love with Eun Jo; to the point of asking her to wait for him as he goes-off to do battle for his heartless-dad. KJ only knew EJ for a short period of time. Even though they have their "moments", and KJ feels that EJ and him are alike. for me KJ's concern and affection for EJ are deemed as brotherly care and not love. EJ has always been hostile towards KH and just when she starts thawing by 0.1°C, KH leaves. Wth...?? It feels abit abrupt to me. Had the PD extended their childhood interaction for another ep or 2, (added with a little more significant happenings that draws them closer together), i might be convinced that KH and EJ are in-love with each other. I've got no beef bout MGY and CJM's acting. They carry-off their characters with great aplomb. But based on KH and EJ's childhood interaction and moments, i'm not convinced that KH loves EJ enough to ask her to wait for him. Does that make sense to anyone??

@ Ivy (36): It was me who mentionned OB/GYN^^ By all means try it! It's an amazing drama with good cast ,and the situations displayed are very dramatic without being over the top. In addition, for a Korean drama, the overall tone is quite bold I think, in the sense that in my opinion, it allows you to see sides of Korean society you rarely see on tv . I love medical series and I've been quite disappointed with a japanse one (code blue 1, I didn't like the cast and the pace, no offense to Yamapi fans) and I'm happy my first Korean medical series is so unique. You can find this drama with English subtitles on viikii^^

I am following OML,CS, PT & PP. I just have to say this is the first time I am watching that much of dramas in one season -the same week it is being aired. I love EJ character in CS. She is totally amazing. Her acting totally bring the angst and the degree that her dark shadows of the past just gets to her. It took me out of my breath seeing KH getting dazzled by her & wanting to befriend her. Amazing plot, amazing cast and amazing drama. I keep myself updated by recaps and reading plus watching the dramas raw with totally no understanding of korean :)~

As for lighter drama PT & PP as well as OML are so great for fun, breezy, cute yet funny scenes that makes my heart tug at romance and also enjoying the light drama that entails a big smile on my face~ I'm totally enjoying the dramas.

Plus I'm watching Jdramas too~ Can't say a girl has nothing to do~ I'm totally like in holidays=)

Have a great weekend. Meanwhile I'll be resuming my drama feast=)

I need to share my thoughts on last week's P.S. Man [ep.07]. I am embarrassed to admit, I melted after watching Blue Lan sing (even though he lip sync) and played the piano (even though he is not really playing it). The art of illusion worked really well on me. I really like Blue's voice, at times, I was in disbelief thinking it should be Jay Chou singing. I hope he releases a mini album or something, and have "Shi Huan Ni" full song recording.

"Shi Huan Ni"
excerpts to lyrics (well, I try to romanize)
performed by Blue Lan

(Hmmmm)
Wo shi huan ni de yen.
I love your eyes.
Kan jir wo de yen.
The eyes that are looking at mine.
Wo shi huan ni de len.
I love your face.
Tei jir wo de len.
To be next to mine.
Sir zhen zai gai ben. (woooo)
Time is changing. (woooo)
Wo bu hue gai ben.
But I won't change.
Ying wei wo hen ai ni.
Because I really love you.
Bu shiang you ni fang qi.
I don't want you to leave.
Ai ching, ju zhong mo qi du lah bu yi.
In love, this kind of connection does not come easily.
Wo ai ni, zhen de zhir hen ai ni.
I love you, I really love you.
So yi sum mah
So, I want to
Bah zhun ga sir je do gei ni.
Give you the whole world.

Anyone else watching P.S. Man? Please share your thoughts.

Cinderella's sister...so many complicated emotions all at once. I feel for all the characters in their own worlds. They've each got their own demons that their battling, their own insecurities. So many gray shades to each character. Even
Ki hoon has his low points. Its kind of awesome to see their flaws and cracks.

Also CJM's smile has me in its grips. They part where him and HS meet in ep 5 and he smiles that smile, I can't help but smile along with him. Its ridiculous. I love him!

Happy FRIDAY everyone :)
