OMG THIS WAS FAST

Hey please recap or watch 청담동 살아요.it's on jtbc and it's like the best sitcom ever. Seriously, u will not regret watching it.

Aw, thank you for this podcast, you're all adorable!! ^^

I'm actually not sure if Dream High 2 will be as popular as the first one, but I guess so. Many Korean teenagers will make their parents watch it XD But I'm more excited for Shut Up ^^

HeadsNo2 is really cute!

I hope after this podcast you guys will do a podcast more often instead of months a part. I can deal with a once a month podcast if I can throw that idea out there. I listen to about 7 different podcast and I think I enjoy this one a lot not only because of what is talked about but because every single female has a pleasant voice that I enjoy hearing compare to the other podcast I hear.

Oh goodness! Afraid to press play... *crosses fingers*

Welcome Headsno2!

I always love your detailed recaps!

WELCOME HeadsNo2~

WHAT?!?!
Another Podcast so soon?!
This is like finding a Christmas present you had squirreled away and forgotten ~ and all Rain music, to boot?

Thank you, ladies. My Sunday is complete!
:)

Yay, nice you finally meet you, HeadsNo2!

HHAHA I'm like headsno2! I have phases where I'm invested in someone or something and then get over it, and Move on to the next bachelor!
Hahha and I too love sageuks and historical movies from other periods of time. I do like some historical accurate productions, but I prefer some that doesn't focus so much on the historical context. I find it more fun :p but I love the costumes, the back ground, etc. I find it so interesting to try to imagine yourself in that time long ago!

Hahaha. "HeadsNo1". Truth be told, I thought you were going to say it was because of the No2 pencils we had to use as kids in school. XD

I'm glad I'm not the only one who follows K-pop because I find it bizarrely fascinating. I have always hated pop-music, but following K-pop is like when you drive by an accident and you can't help but look. The more i read and watch, the more I need. It's as addicting as watching dramas.

Does HeadsNo2 and gummimochi have their own blog? I know kaedejun has one.

i don't remember which Headsno2 recaps I read but Headsno2's taste in dramas seems almost in line with mine (except for the Rain fandom heh ^^). I look forward to Heads' future DB contributions :)

Welcome Headsno2!!~

I'm excited about future sageuk recaps, I recently became a sageuk fan and started watching Jumong, haven't gotten too far because of megaupload's shutdown. I enjoy the mixture of history and folklore. Or in some cases folklore with modern perspectives. My favourite so far is Deep Rooted Tree.

Smile Donghae...eh I watched parts of it for Lee Jang Woo...big WooJung WGM fan LOL

Everyone has a Rain phase...even if I'm not crazy obsessed he is still on my backlog for when he comes out of the military.

To be perfectly honest if I get stationed in Korea next year I'm going to make my way to his training facility for some reason LOL.

As far as idols...I keep adding fandoms but I don't have many. Big Bang are my long time loves. I do adore Heechul of Super Junior and though he is in the military there are so many pictures and articles about him he's still around.

Note to Self: Learn to work the term "Batman-yness" into normal conversation from now on... :)

Another great outing, gals -- Heads, is it weird for me to think your voice sounds exactly how I figured you'd sound? Also thanks for the horrible flashback to Catholic school and the nuns measuring the distance between boys and girls during our school dances. ::shudder::

As I'm finding out the hard way myself, I totally agree that it is very difficult to spool up a drama just to watch and enjoy these days. You put it most succinctly when you said "if you love it, you're gonna want to recap it anyway" (which is why I agreed to take on BVS at one of the most busiest times in my life). There are several shows out there right now that are enough to make me forego sleeping and eating and working overtime... but that's why external hard drives were invented, ne?

Also good to hear the voice of one my fellow Sisters-in-Lust wax poetic about My Precious Changwook-ssi -- I know I'm in the minority here, but you should eventually give "Smile, Donghae" a chance. Take it in little chunks like I ended up doing just to see JCW's amazing character transformation. And for all you guys to kinda fade out to the music bumper with squishy thoughts over Yoo Seung Ho's new drama coming up made me grin like a clown. :)

A technical question, though... what application do you guys use to put your talks together? I'm part of a podcast where we're using Audacity, and the process is not intuitive whatsoever and absolutely sucks on toast.

Anyway, enough babbling. Thanks again for all the fun!! 새해 복 많이 받으세요 -- Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!!

I'm excited for future Choi Tae Joon dramas (Jung from Padam Padam) and Park Minwoo Dramas (Bawool from FBRS)

Oooooh!^^ I was waiting for this podcast since the last one came out. Welcome to the dramabeans family HeadsNo2! *hugs* I'm glad you're here!=D

I loved this podcast. It seemed to me like you girls really work well together and understand each other a lot. I find JB and Heads match up on many drama-related things while Heads and GF have similar writing styles in the way they deliver their commentaries.

Anyway, I could listen to the three of you go on and on about dramas the whole day. It was an awesome podcast and I was quite sorry it had to end because I totally did not feel the 42+ minutes go by. The conversation between the three of you flowed so naturally I had trouble keeping up with the outline.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us!^^ Happy to know I'm not the only series/film consumer who watches by current actor bias. Teehee!=3

Hopefully, I get to hear more from you girls! Keep rocking!^^

I completely agree with you HeadsNo1 about Rain because I have been feeling really guilty about getting over Rain. Its so weird. I love kpop too because its so much fun but its hard for me to watch idols in dramas because i want them not to suck and they rarely don't suck which is sad. Leave the acting to the actors is what i say (except Rain)...;)

Whoa... all the music is Rain. Haha! :D

Will listen to this while doing house chores. Thank you!
Transferring to phone now^^

Yay, for HeadsNo2 and sageuks! It's great to put a voice to all of you. Hope you continue with these podcasts.
I also went through a Rain phase around his 2nd album when he came out in Sangdoo! Let's go to school.

I love you guys so much :) Thank for making me laugh while I was supposed to be reading Plato haha!!

Hi HeadsNo2! I also think History of the Salaryman might be the best drama EVAR ;) I don't understand why everyone isn't watching it.

Loved hearing HeadsNo2. I hated...absolutely hated A Love to Kill too. Man....that was some wasted time - watching that.

thanks for the podcast. really appreciate conversations on saguek dramas. saguek/fusion saguek brought me back to korean dramas after walking away from the arly 2000's melos.

random question: are all bloggers & guest bloggers korean americans?

Awww Heads, your "y'alls" made me think of Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights. :-)

Great podcast, ladies!

welcome Heads!

that was great, Heads really blends well with Javabeans and Girlfriday. i love these podcasts, i wouldn't mind more at all. i think when you guys are having your conversations about dramas you should just put a recorder on and we'll lap it up tbh.

Welcome, Heads No. 2 :)

That was funny!

I remember watching 'A love to kill' and like everyone else, did not understand what to make out of it...BUT, Rain and Shin Min ah, gorgeous human beings. nuff said.

I did watch Ninja Assassin and Rain's abs may have something to do with it :)

Thanx for the podcast, like always, it was super fun.

A NEW ONE SO FAST?!
:D

I was so happy when I saw this, embarrassingly happy. And welcome Head (: This was such an entertaining podcast to listen to <3

Warm welcome Heads ! I just love hearing you talking girls. I love Rain too and i miss his clown face ( and his abs of course )! I hope to see you soon on your next recapping project. Did something catch your attention ?

Um is it bad that I just recently began my Rain phase. I watched Runaway Plan B and for some reason became obessed with Rain and his very shiny beautiful hair. I have since watched the video for love song a embarrasing amount of times (even though the end makes me somewhat uncomfortable.) By the way this is the Hip Song Rock Tonight!

Aw~ I too miss gorilla Bi, not many Asian celebs can tower over me with such long buff arms and broad shoulders to make me look small.

Amusing podcast as always. There's Heads, now where's Tails? *waves H-E-L-L-O*

I was pronouncing your username as heads-no-2. And then I would scratch my head because I just didn't get it, LOL. You bet I facepalmed myself when I heard it on the podcast. Anyway, you're not alone about Rain, Headsno2! I was in love with him around the same time, too. Full House was what started my kdrama addiction. And then I moved on to Choi Shi-won, then Lee Min-ho, and now I'm stuck on Park Shi-hoo!

Thanks for another entertaining podcast! And a chance to get to know HeadsNo2!

Double yay for Rain "the gateway drug" as javabeans put it and for a whole podcast playlist with his songs! Listening to the songs made me feel all nostalgic for those good ol' days..

I feel I must speak up in defense of open-ended series.

Yes, I agree that tightly-plotted stories can be very rewarding, and that the American model of television doesn't encourage it the way Korean television does.

However

Open-ended series are operating on a different plane. Growth and change are not encouraged in an American series. The story doesn't move very quickly horizontally, but instead it spreads out vertically. Characters don't change, but our understanding of them changes as the series reaches deeper and deeper, exposing what was there all along, unseen.

It's difficult to do well. I would say it's more difficult to do an open-ended series really well than a series with a limited run. This is why many American series start to fall apart as they age. But when done right, it allows for more complex world-building and greater depths of character.

A thoroughly enjoyable podcast -- it only lacked a dissenting voice on this one subject.

It's true, everyone has a Rain period. And if you haven't, you should. He was my gateway to everything Korean. When Rain was mentioned for the first time on the Colbert Report in 2007, I had never heard of K-pop. By the time Rain and Stephen Colbert had a dance-off roughly a year later, I was totally caught in the whole phenomenon. It happened that quickly.

And "A Love to Kill" makes me feel like such a sucker. The drama is so damn sappy, and completely unsatisfying and yet I really enjoyed it.

One thing that's frustrated me with K-dramas in the past is how rare it is that they take risks. You just don't see usual and challenging television like Twin Peaks or Mad Men or the best of Buffy. The nearest I've seen was episode 7&8 from Joseon X-Files. That's also why I'm looking forward to History of the Salaryman. The more unusual, the better!

HeadsNo2 is so witty! It was a pleasure to finally hear from you, Heads. Thanks for another great podcast, ladies!

Thank you girls for another great podcast! I love listening to you talk about dramas:)
