ARGH, So. Cute. I dies now. I still get a kick out of that picture of his wearing his pink ear phones, gift from his dongsaeng, of course. If Hu Ge gave him pink earphones he'd probably get a punch in the face. :-P

You know they changed the drama's Chinese title. Do you know if the English title remains Clothing the World? I cannot wait. It's been too long and I need a loverboy OTP fix. Or else rewatch LoCH2008 but I'm on a HnH bender lately and not in the mood for wuxia.

Thanks for the posters! You need to be more lobu lobu as well with your guy. But tell me if Hotaru doesn't take dense to a whole nother level, when Buchou says let's sleep together, and she's like "why? is it because you're old so you're too lonely to sleep alone?" And she is genuinely puzzled. And he looks at her like she's an alien, and then smiles, because she really is that thick-headed and himono onna with no experience at love. Sigh, I adore them.

^ argh I'm EXACTLY at that scene right now and it's beyond CUTE. haha and I cant wait did call my dude and yelped on it!!! (and I'll make it a habit to send him more lobulobu text then...um...) I'm just saying next time couples have little fights, watch HnH2, it'll safe up some fighting time and convert it into awwwwwing and laughs.

I'm so bewildered as to how they can make dense so adorbs. My critical snarky side is still here last I check, but I just find that scene, those lines still so going w/ the flow and the characters. I know the fact that both Ayase and Fujuki r so right on and nuanced in their character, but it's still a mighty feat.

And are we having a new and improved V.02 of guy2 or what in Mukai Osamu's Seno? Caring yet not clingy, be there 4 her w/o forcing it. And he's a cool yet easy guy to be with in the first place (and... a HIMONO OTOKO..not that we're not suspecting, but still we want our icing on our cakes!). What I would kill for a guy bff like Seno?!

I hate that new Chinese name of Clothing the World. TengRen bosslady is not on my gd book, Clothing the World is totally like an abandoned stepchild to her in terms of affection and attention. She said she changed it since it's more befitting to drama and much more meaningful... ARGH, poor poor taste.

maaan, I'm so gutted! There's an NG video out apparently with Kim Soo-hyun and Park Sang-min, the two Sung-mos - but I can't watch it as I need to register -- filling out an e-form using Hangul only, it's hopeless! Sure I'd seen the uber-cute and funny snaps of the Kang-mos together, the two Mi-joos, the Jung-yuns, the So-taes, but none of the two Jung-shiks (that'd be hilaaarious - I'm so rotten) or the two Min-woos (freaky, they were uncannily alike in a weird, weird way) but more importantly nothing of the two Sung-mos... until now. Apparently, the kids occasionally visit the set of their adult counterparts to help their characters remain consistent (etc). Is it any wonder? And KSH finally made time to visit PSM at a very special location shoot. I'm not going to say where but I'm extremely excited now. Teen SM pulled quite a number of batshit crazy, death-defying stunts, there've only been a couple such scenes with adult SM, a relatively smaller scale one in 11 and a real badass one in 14 but even then there were two others involved in that scene and they put just as much back into it, but it looks like we'll be getting another dosage of action at some point, woooh. Now if only I could watch that video. Maybe some youtuber will upload it soon, I wish. I'd LOVE to see them two together. Maybe they'll put it in the DVD box set.
On another note: It seems KSH is going straight for the gold, any other young actor is eyeing up idol/prettyboy roles and whatnot, but his projects have him rubbing shoulders with greats like Choi Min-soo, Jung Bo-suk and now Park Sang-min. Hope he continues to pick his projects as carefully as he has been doing.

Ooooh, you're watching right now? I actually had to stop in the middle of that scene, because I was laughing so hard I couldn't continue. The acting and chemistry are perfect. When she went to change and he told her not to put on her Hawaiian mumu I also had a mental breakdown (same in the last ep. when he invited her to the Okinawa restaurant, and then had to call her back to remind her NOT to wear an Okinawan outfit to dinner, and you see she's already put one on).

Can I tell a secret, promise it won't get me kicked out of Buchou-fandom for life? I ADORE Seno. Mukai Osamu is making me just melt with her adorableness. I swear, if Seno was the other guy in HnH1, instead of that douchebag Teshima, I may have a hard time 100% supporting Buchou. I knew he was a himono otoko, but I lovelovelove his character and personality. Total agree, best BFF evar. And the fact that everyone is being honest about who likes whom, I am in bliss with Season 2 so far.

Anyways, I'm ambivalent about the CtW name change, she mentioned the original name sounded too harsh, the new one softer and more suited for a drama with a female lead. It's weird the lack of promotion about it, which worries me. Either it sucks and she knows it so no wasting money to promote, or it really is a sad stepchild bc the lead is not Hu Ge.

Just finished the Jdrama "Mother" and while it wasn't the sob-fest that "Watashitachi no Kyokasho" was for me, I did shed tears in episodes 1 & 2, and actually cried in episode 11. I was never abandoned, abused or adopted as a child, but didn't have too jolly a time of it then either, so those stories with children trying to make the best of bad situations really get to me. Now for the movie "April Snow" before going on to "Delightful Girl Choon Hyang" which sounds altogether cheerier.

@ Pipit

As for your romance novel, that's wonderful! Keep at it. It always takes a really long time to write the first one. My friend has been writing a novel that she started when we were in college almost thirteen years ago, and she still only has about fifty pages. I know is that the hero's name is Luca (he's Italian, naturally), he's ridiculously tall, has golden skin, brown bedroom-eyes, luscious lips, a fantastic butt, wonderful hands (in more ways than one), and he is an amazing kisser. But she pretty much stalled there because over a decade later, she still hasn't figured out how to give this silver-tongued love machine a personality or any depth. Or a heroine! Hahaha. :-)

I'm sure you're doing much better. What's your general plot, if you don't mind me asking? Please don't share if you're not comfortable. But if you ever do publish it, I'll read it! Are you writing it under pen-name or your real name?

@4 ockoala

Oh man, you guys are killing me! I can't watch HnH2 or indeed any new drama until the relatives leave. The kids stick to me like glue. OTOH, I've managed to suck them into You're Beautiful, so all is not lost on that front. Between them and the parental units, I may need a vacation from my family after this visit. So a long visit to kdramaland may be in order.

I think after YB, I may send them careening into dorama land with Yankee-kun.

Man, watched BG episodes 14 & 15 together and it really is laying it on thick now. The atmosphere is heavy, stifling and I'm still sighing heavily when I think back to Han Ga-in's scene towards the close of 15, you could really y'know... FEEL what she was feeling.
I think you could expect things would turn out frantic towards its wrap-up, what with its 3-episode cut and rushed filming but it's actually quite manageable. In fact it's brilliantly done, everything from the acting, the atmosphere to the background score. With only two episodes left I'm reluctant to let the show finish now. I'm gonna miss KNG *sob*. (Bogoshipda, Gun-wook-aaah!)

@Lahlita
(Sorry for taking so long to come here. At this point in time I'm practically working 24/7))

Is that really true? Hehehehe....You must be joking right hehehe......Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem ^-^

My problem is that I just don't know how to bring the hero and heroin together. The title is ' Worlds Apart' perhaps that's why it becomes a torture for me who's trying to play cupid.
I don't know whether you've heard that we (I'm Indonesian BTW) had been under the Dutch for 350 years. My story started from 1830 a
round the end of the biggest war between the Dutch and the rebels lead by one of the princes from Java island. My heroin isn't directly
involved in any rebellion movement but she let her people provide fund and amunition to them. The hero is an English Duke with the usual traits we always find in any historical romance novel.

They have nothing in common except that my heroin is probably as powerful as the Duke himself if not more so in a different way (her farther is one of the richest merchants in Batavia -now Jakarta- but she has her own trading empire which he knows nothing about, plus she's the beloved student of two of the most revered martial art Gods in China).
And...I'm too embarrassed to continue ^-^

Thanks for asking^-^
