Has this idea already been proposed?
You know how there is My Life is Average, My Life is Harry Potter, My Life is Twilight?</i?
How about My Life is Kdrama:
I bought my sister a new humidifier today. My god! I hope I haven't doomed her to a terminal illness!
or
I met and threw up on a handsome man yesterday. If my calculations are correct, we should be engaged within the year.
Anyone else have a MLIK?

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
Spending my New Year in the office yeah life sucks but hey I get paid and I could watch all the fireworks in our building's helipad and console myself that this will be the last time, I swear!! But anyway its not so bad to spend the new year, just miss my family, but I have great friends with me, and I think thats compensation enough for the suck factor.
So anyway I wish 2011 will be a good year for all dramas and more addicts will be created to rant, rave and be a fangirl/fanboy that will savor each and every morsel laid down before us.

You know what the best way to spend New Year Eve for K drama addict like me? Watching K drama all night long, kh, kh, kh
And saving the best for last, 2 last episodes of Bad Guy, bwa, ha, ha, ha Oh my Gawd I love the ending (I get it, the message, Life IS unfair stat). I really dig this drama background music. As Kim Nam-gil acted crazy, Madam shin screamed crazily, the drama went crazy, boo and I was going crazy too when the packets came, ha, ha, ha *who the hell had sent the packets?* That's a wrap for my 2010 K drama watching.
Happy new year everyone!! Hope more craziness come from Dramabeans and K drama land this year... :D

AHHHHHHH! That's a scream of utter frustration. Can anyone help me?
I was wrapping up the drama "The Devil" and had only two more episodes to go. You know, the big pay-off. But the links over at Mysoju.com for the last two episodes are really wacky. Either taking me back to previous episodes or only giving me 5 minutes of the ep's I need to see to finish up the murder mystery. And I can't seem to find any other website that has this old drama. Can someone either tell me how the show ended or direct me to a website where I can see the end for myself??
I'm at beggar1015@gmail.com if anyone can help.

Am I the only one who's upset that Yoochun beat Yoo Ah In for that new comer award at the KBS drama award? Nothing against Yoochun, I think he is decent, but Ah In's performance was stellar in that series and HE should get that award!
Anyway...happy new year...hopefully 2011 is filled with good shows to feed our addiction!

I watched (well up to ep. 55) my first K Drama at the end of 2009 (Queen Seon Duk) and this year I've watched H.I.T., Pasta, Coffee Prince, A Man Called God, Shining Inheritance, Coffee House, My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox, Triple, My Sweet City, Will it Snow at Christmas?, and I am finishing the year with Cinderella's Sister! I'm really excited for the new year and to watching and finding out about more dramas!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :)

They are so awesome together, btw.
I can understand it getting a bit draggy in parts, but as of now (episode 12) it's still awesome, I don't mind the slow lull in parts.
I am loving all the cast, from Chun-hee to Choi Bool-am, but Mama Kang = MAD LOVE!
Soundtrack -- I like it, too. Especially the ShinJi song, which I've had on my ipod for a good year or so.
But... I don't care eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!

January 5, 2011 at 3:41 PM
Mama Kang, such a spitfire. She is definitely the one that wears the pants in the parents relationship. That's one funny thing to look for, Hyun Su is so, so, so like his father. They are straight up nerds and end up in the doghouse a lot. Ha, ha, ha...
Chun-hee makes me laugh because you'd think his brother character would have some stern words but he's all like "You go. Go date my sister." (thumbs up/salute) And he's like "Nooooooooooooo, I hate that sister."
I can't even hate Han Se, even with the whole wedding thing and all. He's just too funny. Hyun Su & Han Se are the best frenemies ever. It's like Nerds vs Geeks, but we all win.

I'd like to think I'm one of the oldies here and even as Im used to the new snazzy site now, I still have moments when I wished it was the old li'l site which wasnt so cramped... but this is the price we pay for progress :-)
I dont always agree with your reviews and some times, I have to remind myself that it is your goal to deconstruct kpop. I watch dramas purely for enjoyment (aka to escape the reality of life - of career politics, crazy family demands and yup, motherhood). And I am glad that I am spared of doing the analysis and critical thinking --well, because you guys are doing it for me! Thanks for all these years and more power to you both.

I'm suffering SG withdrawal symptoms. Spotty internet connection here in Pakistan. I'm reading the recaps ( thank you JB and GF ). Will have to catch up when I get back. I'm attempting to get my family here to watch Prosecutor Princess ( I have my own DVD ) I might be successful in bringing more people over to the dark side Muuu Haaa Haaa. :P
LOL I freaked out a Korean family at the Dubai airport, when I asked if they were watching Secret Garden. Tee Hee. :D

Also, had to gush somewhere- I just watched The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry since I've been meaning to, and the editor's picks of the year clenched it. I loved every second of it. So well done, and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Wonderful assessment of "watch this yesterday", ladies!
Am watching Secret Investigation Record as soon as I can download it or stream it. Unfortunately, it isn't on dramafever.com.
