Seo Woo is taking a shower of pain! Hurry, someone tell me another heroine who took a shower of pain? I thought it was exclusively male territory?

Thank you @momosan again for the shower YT video. Seriously food for the soul.

@ serendipity

HJW may have taken a shower of pain but it wasn't in WHIB - where she took a dip in the pool fully dressed and come out of the shower to find Jae Min. But alas, no shower of pain.

The lady shower was surprisingly short - prolly cuz there is no fan service without it turning X-rated.

FoD is seriously shizzle for the fizzle. Cannot even digest the dialogue in it. Half the shit I feel like has multiply meanings and layer of context.

As for why SKKS is not my squeegie-love? I dunno, I really like it alot, alot, but I'm merely comparing it to the myriad other reactions ranging from "I'll sell my firstborn to watch the next episode" to "I'll trade you ten donkeys and a mule if you send me SKKS soft subs", and realize I must not like it enough if I have no such desire and am not even compelled to be caught up on it.

Just me being me, not trying to be contrarian or anything.

Her mamma NOT a heroine. On a good day she may be the anti-christ. But yes, she definitely took and deserved her shower of pain, as did Seo Woo.

Damn, both momma and daughter have serious crazy-eyes. How come no one else sees it and runs far far away? I would. Just like if I saw Moony I'd run straight towards him and then molest him the same way Seo Woo did to Yoo Seung Ho. I took notes, that's a great molestation technique.

O I'm lost on the squee?! I'm addicted to SQUEEEEing!! and OMOOMOOMOing
I do do them out loud now in RL, it's repressed and controlled, I've got it down.

and yeah I've just asked 2 of my HK gfs if anyone is interested in getting the tix + going to JYJ@HK w/ me....and sadly none of them even knew them.

after I've told them it's a Korean/Japanese boyband. One of them asked...hm... r they legal (age)?!

Yeah, I'd better just say things here in good company.

Also, can someone give me a 411 on what the freck is happening w/ the TVXK boys and SM and where is ChangMin? is YooSu couple still friends with YunHo, or are they ever friends?! Is JAeJoong sad? I'm really worried w/ ChangMin (and I'm that freaken lazy to even google or read.) And why is no station doing a drama poking at them? the script is writing itself, and if they have JYJ playing their *wink* selves, they dont even need lines or comedy writing. I just have a feeling they may pawn FoD (which is drama heroin in its shamelessly purest finest form)

I'm Mine-ing the antichrist MaMa of Seo Woo. MINE! Not unlike I'm so in love, part maternal, part like my love for abandoned wet poodles, part for the cushion and his fist and mouth and his fist in mouth with JAeMin.

Totally getting a WHIB redux with it. so so delish.

@ hjkomo

It's certainly him in the photo. Maybe he gets special mobile phone dispensation? Or maybe it's just his management company sending out the tweets. Who knows.

But for sure, he doesn't tweet as often as General Choi does (few celebs do) & he has 3 times as many followers (& probably 3 times more rabid), so I'd say chances of reply pretty slim :-(

OCKOALA IS PRETTY! MrGHKOALA IS HANDSOME!! BABYKOALAS ARE PRETTY and HANDSOME!! AND THEY ARE ALL SO FREAKING SMARTYPANTS YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO RULE THE WORLD!!

I need zzzz so I cant possibly read everything to not get too excited/amused to zzzzz. Just ignore me. But I'm sending meaty wet muahs to all my already sleeping unnis and sistas.

'Someone has been dropping hint that SKKS may be her drama of the year.' Officially it's Thundiedear. BUT I might as well tag along.

SKKS is my best drama of the year.

I've given it a lot of thought:
I'm ~drunk.
I've been told intelligence/mentally I'm 15 yo max tonight to no shock of mine (no offense to 15 yos)
Micky, Moony, Yummy r lighting fireworks in my womanly bits. (mookie'sTMI)
I have not watched Comrades.
SKKS addiction is keeping me away fr it and many more impt things like sleep in life. If a drama is keeping me away fr watching sth everybody's THE best (Comrades), or JXF, which has MM (ok and I'm the biggest wimp), that's it. BEST DRAMA.

Even not considering the pleasures/hotties it's giving me, it's a well written show, with interesting characters with little twists fr the typical making me caring for them enough (or a WHOLE GREAT DAMN DEAL), and it's feeding my BL shoujo beast like I can never believe it, even down to that harpy instrumental (yeah in my shoujo world, all those heart flutterings should be accompanied by harps, eyesexing and lip lickings). Also I think I've widen my range of high notes I can hit on squeeing so I feel really confident in conquering my next Noraebang Idol Contest w/ My Poor Poor chingus. My pulmonary function is also much better w/ my panting and the continuous OMOOMOOMOOMO and SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and since I do that to 8, 9 or 10? hot studs on that show (yes exc InSoo)

Logically I also wanna add, Cinderella Sister is so not the worst drama EVER this year, let alone EVERRR. most frustrating, and I've pulled most hair out (but I had a lot of hair to spare) and most I swear at, true, true and true. And it ends at 19 btw. and just to remind u girls, it has PIE and MM. nugh said.

Am I the only word TAE(a MetroDad reference) @OT? please tell me no.

Since this OT is so precious, I cant stop but throw in a rant on InSoo, the 1 blip stopping me fr my OMOSQUEEEEE every sec of SKKS:

InSoo can die and I wont care. What is totally a turn off for me is exactly his crushing of ChoSun since 10 yo AND Still dun know shit about the girl. This is not crushing this is lusting. If u LURVE your woman, you will want to know every single thing about her and her likes and dislikes, not psychologically raping her every single minute she has to spend with you. and yes, flaring nostrils, eyes out of sockets, bound fists, bursting veins on neck. SO. NOT. HOT.

And yeah, he chose his wingmen by very poor taste (ok except that mute but so winkwink secret admirer of his) and I do judge a man by the company he keeps. And he has no game and frankly quite mediocre in intelligence even by SKK standard (not the real historical SKK, that girl has no adams apple, DUDES!)

And I blame him on a more meta level, I always ship any baddie who can enslave me with anything and everything. He failed to take me, I can be his #1 fangirl and defend him all my stubborn annoying ways, but nope... just to add to his blehness.

If we start earlier, that would be great, but, well, I can still try to stay up late for you. However, if I find a job, that might change. Or maybe not, we'll see. I've always been a night-person anyhow. ^^

@thundie and whoever's watching SKKS. I snagged the subs for ep 7 and they had huge non-subbed gaps. Like, in the first 10 minutes, 5 weren't subbed? I'm so sad. My Korean is still, like, at newbie level. :(

@mookie, langdon813, ockoala and the KimuTaku groupies
Guys, I REALLY don't have a problem with KT playing KT and not a character. I can't possibly be the only one? For all I care, he could be reading the address book aloud and I'd be still hanging on his very word. Not that I'm a fan or anything. ;) And besides, I LOVED the trailer. It totally gives away the whole plot, but who cares, I ask? Who cares? KT was hot and alskdjsaldjasldjasdads Brain. Melting. Again just thinking about it so uh, yeah, not a problem with that movie.

I should learn quilting or knitting *pleading eyes Momosan* and just make a fangirl gift to KimuTaku with lots of hearts :

We LURVE youuuu~ WE LURVE YOU BEING YOUU~ WE LURVE YOU PLAYING YOU~! (and also insert an english line or 2 KT said in Good Luck!)

just to get our point across to KT, it's OKAY.

The only times KT being KT I dun really care for is in Change (I crave a bowl of old school Nissan sesame oil orig flavor ramen...just not on KT's head) and his Dr.Brain/Dr Whowannabe... that one the problem is stickier. I like my bananas, I cant sanely eat my bananas and have a visual of KT eating bananas...u know?

@mookie

Have you ever seen Antique Bakery the Japanese version?
Watching Abe Hiroshi try to knit a scarf for his daughter is a riot and a half if you are a knitter.

OTOH, I know for a rabid fan for one Canadian star who tells me that he has an Irish fan who knits all his sweaters....and he sort of commissions them at this point from her. 8-) Having seen them, I can believe it.

Knitting is easy - 2 stitches, knit and purl. It's the counting that'll get you. Friends don't let friends knit drunk. 8-)

Re: Antique, the j-dorama version. When casting rumors about the kmovie were released, I tried watching the j-dorama version and...I couldn't. And I'm even a fan of Fujiki Naohito's.

I'm not weird or a crazy stalker. I think. I'm pretty sure of that.

BTW, Kim Ji-hoon used to tweet often before he started his military service. I'll miss the guy. OTOH, Alex Chu tweets, like, everyday and either posts pics or says something funny and cute because he's funny and cute and...what? I have a major crush on him.

@JANNA!
Over here! *waves*

Are you still watching the Drama Specials? Any that you want me to look out for? I caught a few this weekend, intend to watch the majority of them. Though some of them are pretty mediocre, it's still worthwhile to scrummage around and find a real gem.
I'm looking forward to the following: Last Flashman (questionable title but it's about kiddies and has Lee Sung-min in it, Lee Sung-min!). Also I'm a Butterfly (Choi Il-Hwa, Ryu Sang-wook), Boy Meets Girl (Seo Shin-ae) and Texas Hit (Kim Gab-soo), so I'll continue to trudge on through. Holler if you have anything to say about those four.

Just found out Baek Il-sub is in Balls... Dammit, I mean... Flames of Desire. Awww! Man! He's one of my faves.

Giant night tonight. Only 16 episodes to go, chingu.
I was thinking, where were we 16 episodes in? Aah, yeah, kkiongna. Mi-joo's former little 'hood (such an enchanting little place, so full of character, le sigh), her calling out into the night sky over Seoul ''Seoul-aah, my Gang-mo oppa is going to build the highest tower in this city!'' *tear* And that was some unappetising-looking jajangmyun they were eating.
OK, now I'm on a roll. 17 episodes in two people had an emotional reunion, 17 episodes to go the same two people had an emotional reunion. 15 episodes in someone was dealing with the aftermath of a run-in with Seong-mo's gun and healing in the hospital. 15 episodes to go I'm expecting some similar-ish scenes. Eeep... so cool.

Haha OMG, you guys kept going. XD

One the subject of boys+SKKS, my dad likes it. XD He wandered in one day while I was watching ep. 12 raw and got sucked it. I ended up translating everything I could understand and pausing to give backstory every now and then, and when we got to the end of the ep he asked if I had any of it subbed. We still haven't gotten around to actually watching it together (he's a busy bee), but every so often he reminds me. Obviously he was intrigued by the whole girl-crossdressing-thing and related inevitable shenanigans.

Mom likes JXF on the other hand, although after I warned her it was creepy and suspenseful we watched the episode that was SO NOT. Luckily the next one was, so she thinks very highly of it. She also agrees that KJH is a lovely man, although she wants to buy him a new hat. XD

@mookie

So sorry you are feeling the results of the obvious fun you had last night.

And yes you were very informative. Lets start with the first lines of your post...

"OCKOALA IS PRETTY! MrGHKOALA IS HANDSOME!! BABYKOALAS ARE PRETTY and HANDSOME!! AND THEY ARE ALL SO FREAKING SMARTYPANTS YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO RULE THE WORLD!!"

I had no idea we should be electing Ockoala and family to public office, nor did I know of their "pretty" factors. Now I do.

"I’ve given it a lot of thought:
I’m ~drunk.
I’ve been told intelligence/mentally I’m 15 yo max tonight to no shock of mine (no offense to 15 yos)
Micky, Moony, Yummy r lighting fireworks in my womanly bits. (mookie’sTMI)
I have not watched Comrades."

All of the above are declarative facts for you that I was unaware of, especially your womanly bits. While I agree that SkkS boys definitely have that sort of power, your boldness in stating so in an open forum, I truly applaud. Then again all the females here have said as much on multiple occasions with varying degrees of colorful descriptors.

"it’s feeding my BL shoujo beast"

This part for FTW! Actually the entire paragraph around this part was not really informative as much as explores your inner lustful desires and reflects back at my own "habits". I am known for Bad Girl Vids and dirty limericks. I can not judge. I can only giggle to myself knowingly. I don't think I am off in saying the majority of us high-fived your emotional expression here.

I also agree that no drama with PIE can be the worst at anything. Cause PIE is wonderful.

InSoo is hot for me to look at. So we shall have to agree to disagree on him, but I get your point about the friends he keeps. For some men lackeys are supposed to be beneath you in every way, looks, intelligence, and status.

I know I am a smarta$$ for analyzing this to this extent but you were obviously wondering what I found informative. A soju trip is in order for OTers. It would be only fair after this wonderful post.

Also I didnt drunkfangirl Yummy enough, but I notice every single impeccably coordinated outfit of his. Even b4 I knew of the MoonyYummy ship (and I knew that VERY early, gaydar never fails me) those color-coordinated to the tee beads r matchymatchy to every color of outfit. And that boy uses some serious SPF2000, pretty sure Shiseido stole his skin whitening magic potion.

Man, for someone NOT drunk last nigh (i.e. me), I sure passed out early from just simply being worn out, and missed the last dregs of greatness from my twinnie!!

Last dregs in no way, shape, or form denote lack of quality in the posting or the deliciousness of said posts. Merely that it came at the tail-end of the excursion is all.

@ mookie my dearest nuggest of spazz

Did you just nominate me for public office? Butbutbut, I is very shy...... Cannot carry on public orations on the state of affairs in the drama world.

And now I feel like I was totally gaming my friends for some appearance pimping of myself. No no, whether me and me sad little family is pretty is moot, but merely we are not ugly should suffice as a "suck it!" to that troll.

Btw, the Taiwanese are ugly comment was actually directed at Joe and Ariel for why that person doesn't like ISWAK. I was LOL'ing so hard I think my right rib cracked, and then I remember to get insulted on my own behalf.

@ twinnie - just have one phrase for you. RICE KRISPY TREAT.

Yeah, we can't run for public office - GHKoala and I would kill each other first.

@ Sere and yo-ho-ho-KImuTaKu-and-a-bottle-of-rum folks

I'd take KT being KT anyday - when he tries too hard is when I zone out of his KT-ness. My sister dropped off Engine this weekend for me. But I also have Million Stars (Sora Kawa). Which should I watch first?

As for worst K-drama of the year - I think we have a few choices that we should all consider and weigh the evidence:

Bad Guy
Cinderella Unni
Personal Taste
The drama causing a dissertation on Aspiration Gap
IAL
Dong Yi
Poontang #1

Let's convene in 2 months and take a vote. If anyone votes for Secret Garden and/or Athena I am breaking up with you. Hear me, warning you now.

I like looking at Insoo too. His crazed pretty is strangely mesmerizing to me, even if he's not the best actor. (But at least he blinks now!) I just keep hoping that his character grows and changes somewhat. D: Is redemption too much to ask for such a pretty boy?

@mookie

Your drunkenness was entertaining to us all. You should do it again sometime. ;)

@ockoala

I think we should break that category up a little further. Like, Bad From The Get-Go, or Missed/Unused Potential, or Went Off The Deep End. Because they're all bad in their own way, and it's hard for me to pinpoint one that was head-and-shoulders above the rest awful. (That may be because I didn't actually watch Bad Guy, though.)

@momosan and Kender

What if a drama fit everyone of you guys' awesomely accurate subcategories?

Would it then win the worst award hands down? :-P

At least one of us watched one each of the candidates in its entirety...except for Poontang #1.

No one, I mean, no one admits to watching it all. Which is impossible to judge it then, except that no one watching it says reams about it in and of itself.

I guess since @serendipity recapped it for a few episodes she ought to be the most qualified Poontang reviewer we have.

I think I'm jumping the gun here, we have a couple of new dramas launching soon that may just take the cake. And I forgot to add Runaway to that list.

Also, public announcement - the dialogue I posted about the wedding night in PK - now 99.9% sure the spoilers are true. Set your blush meter to pink now.

Oh, whoever asked - yeah, I'm a Matsujun completist EXCEPT for Arashi. I pretend Arashi doesn't exist, just like I pretend SMAP doesn't exist. Sadly I can't do the same for KAT-TUN because they are too amusing.

But sort of by accident when momochan was visiting a few summers ago, we marathoned a whole lot of doramas, and in the end we only needed 1 more Matsujun to be complete so we manned up and watched Myu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru - yeah.....well....

I dunno, the WithS2 crew subbed it, so I imagine SOMEONE watched it through to completion. o.o; I can't think of who in their right mind would do such a thing. But it would definitely be my nom for Profound Misuse of Talent. And it'd win, no matter what else you put up against it. ><;

And Runaway probably fits under the So Bad It's Good category. Because really, I'm rofling all over the place during every episode (largely because of the Henney, not gonna lie) but I'm having loads of fun doing so. XD

I stopped actively watching PK back around episode 6, but I may tune in for the wedding night. Sexy fun times with those two awkward souls? I'm blushing just thinking about it. XD;

And on the subject of Personal Taste, I recommended it to my old roommate way back when it was first starting and still had potential because she has a serious thing for Lee Minho (probably because she's 6'1" and likes that he's so tall XD), and she would call me every week to yell about the new developments. It was awesome. XD;; She and I discussed at length the crazy and how it had SO MUCH EFFING POTENTIAL. For someone who'd only ever seen one other Kdrama (BOF) in her life, she was very passionate and opinionated. XD

There may have been a few people at WITHS2 who watched all of it, but generally every drama is spread out among a bunch of different people. I worked on two eps, 14 and 20, without ever having watched a single minute of the rest of it.

After watching Comrades? It was pretty laughable.

I got the impression that anyone at WITHS2 subbing or timing Poontang was akin to getting the short straw in the vote for who had to clean out the barn after the race.

I feel just awful for SJS - it's like he is desperately in need of drama career intervention after coming back from MS.

PT - that is one drama that makes me more and more pissed. If I wrote my Firs Impression review of it today (rather than 3 months ago), I'd be about 5 times more brutal. The lack of anything working right in that drama gets my goat angrier with the passage of time.

Did you friend think PT was more insane in plot than BOF? Just curious.

You have to check out the PK wedding night scene - I'm already imagining the 530 thousand KHJ-fangirls first expiring on the spot, and then pitchforks in hand hunting down poor Jung So Min.

mild spoiler - a certain line of dialogue that may or may not involve "I can't wait any longer....", and then someone getting carried to bed.

If it wasn't a young idol drama, this wouldn't be anything remotely noteworthy. Because it is PK and involves KHJ, this might just redeem any lacks in that drama for all of eternity.

@Kender, mookie and everyone

you guys are SUCH teases, do you know that? You tell me Gen Choi has a twitter, but you don't link me. I checked some of the ppl you're following -and yes, NOW I totally feel like a creep stalker who creepily stalks- and I couldn't find him. Are you trying to keep him all for yourselves?!? *pouts*

@okoala
ENGINE! It's an easy watch. Not exactly his best project to date, but it's fluffy and makes you feel good. And there are fast cars and cute kids!

What's the "drama causing a dissertation on Aspiration Gap"? I'm curious now.

@momosan
What? I liked Myu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru. Or rather, well, let elaborate. I liked how MatsuJun acted cos, well, he acted. As for the story, it was probably manipulative, but me? I thought it was rather touching and sweet, but then again the hospital experience was still fresh in my mind and I still had health problems (I still do, but whatever, beside the point) so MAYBE the topic hit close home and I was all emotional...
You should watch some clips of the Arashi boys on variety shows: they are hilarious ^^

It's like... the first time I ever watched any sort of drama at all. I feel like I have to be quiet so that I can learn stuff... but there's no cheat sheet here. The more I read the more I get...

SMAP!!! Every time anyone mentions SMAP I go all goofy. I love them to pieces. As a whole or individually, just love it. They will be holding idol concerts when they are 80 and I will be in the crowd with my grey hair and cane swooning.

@mookie

You are a trip and a half! Love You! I outed my BL issues when I made this stuff and put them on OT.

Yummy steals scenes and the hearts of men and women everywhere. I figured he was strongly Bi.

@Kendar

I always include InSoo in all my day dreaming cause the man is fine as all get out. Yeah he makes those faces and has those tantrums, but that just makes me want to...um never mind. Maybe in a drunken fit I'll talk about that. :)

As for the wedding night on PK, They should do nicely. The sexiest scene of all time though, in any drama or any TV anywhere is still They Kiss Again. The honeymoon sequence was shot from the shoulder up and I dare anyone to watch it and not need a cold shower after. Seriously the hottest thing on film I ever saw.

The worst show of the year so far that I sat through was I am legend. Things I could not sit through I try not to count.

Haha, maybe that's true. I almost wish they'd dropped it and focused on their other projects, but I guess they wouldn't be the WITHS2 people we know and love if they didn't keep going. ><;

BOF was definitely crazier, but PT just sort of..lost its mind, I guess. When we were watching BOF we didn't even question anything most of the time, because we'd long ago accepted that it didn't follow any logic we were familiar with. But with PT, her main problem was that things didn't flow the way they were supposed to, and random things came in (the whole dead mom drama at the end, especially) and screwed up an otherwise okay plot and made our beloved characters do things that a sane writer wouldn't have made them do. She also was incredibly upset that the SJ character turned into such a bitch, because for a long time he was our favourite. :(

He is indeed fine. I was totally swooning for him way back in the beginning, even before I realized just what a sociopath he is. Mmmmm, evil.. I wanna sex him out of his evilness, mrrrr~

@Sere

MatsuJun's been my least favourite member of Arashi since..well, since I realized there were other members. XD He's so far behind Nino and Ohno in awesomeness. >.> Please don't hurt me.

And random, but on the subject of Arashi, I love this clip XDD "NYAN NYAN NYA." "..big fish?" <3

You are so evil today. First with the LOL-AHAHAHA-LALALA video that almost blew my brain.

And now this one? So kawaiiiiiiii. But why is MatsuJun not wearing either the wang-wang suit or the nyang-nyang suit? Either suit is just screaming his name - Junnnnn put me on.....

And the nyang-nyang team got slaughtered. Clearly its harder to speaketh cat to convey information than it is to speaketh dog.

No I'm flashbacking to an OT convo with samsooki about how Korean animals talk, and how animals around the world talk. My brain vaguely remembers....

@Sere

I can't talk about the Aspiration Gap drama. I want to live to see another day. Pppst, ask Serendipity.

Found it! After talking about it I had to go find it to share.

They kiss Again, The Honeymoon scene.

This clips starts off with Xiang Qin(HaNi) lost in Guam after she has had a fight with her husband Zhi Shu(Seung Jo). Also we have Ah Jin(Duckie) who has gone on his own personal vacation to forget his loss of Xiang Qin only to see her running through the street and end up in a bad situation.

If you want to skip all of that stuff. The scene in question begins at 6min50sec-ish

And the extra 2 minutes of even more of that same scene. Whoever uploaded this was seriously wrong for separating it :)

It's not that it's harder to speak cat, just that the Cat Team is made of so much fail -- in fact, Ohno, Aiba, and Sho are masters of the fail. XD Nino and MatsuJun are just surprisingly quick.

I have plenty of other lol-worthy videos stowed away. Maybe I should break them out on some rainy weekend. :P

I'm also curious about this Aspiration Gap drama too. What could it be, I wonder?

@diadda

Haha yes, Joe and Ariel have ridiculous chemistry. *_* I loooooooooaaaaaaaaaathed her character (SO DUMB, and not even in an adorably dim way like the manga/anime version or Jung So-min's version), but she did have fantastic chemistry with her leading man.

So I sit down to lunch with Mom...she ponders a moment and ventures "You know, that girl is falling in love with the wrong boy there." ::THUD:: that would be me falling out of my chair laughing hysterically. Yes, Mom is shipping Moony. And hard.

I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying because she was so SERIOUS in her tsk tsking of YoonHee/YoonShik.

"I can see where this story is going with them, and well...that's just wrong." ::THUD I dies::

@sere - I just usually don't do disease of the month shows. Especially after Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake.
So that was the last of the Matsujuns we queued up. Actually I quite liked Smile. That was an interesting acting choice.

At least, there's Gloria. The right couplings and characters who talk about their feelings and express their fears...and abounding cuteness. :D
