DOTS ost talk love's wistle part!!!
the best!!! will wake me up even im in deep sleep :D

I see you've taken your rightful spot at the top of the open thread! Love it. Bummer about the thumb, though! My ringtone is the one that came with my phone. I'd put another one on it, but too lazy to figure out how! Have a great weekend!

I don't have anything interesting as my ring tone atm, but the most interesting one I've had was the opening of Lejonet Från Norden by Sabaton

Healer's instrumental ost

Oh dear! Get healed soon! You never know how important a body part is until you hurt it.

Yeah, am not happy about missing Chicago Typewriter. My crush on Yoo Ah In, especially in the past with all that lovely arty revolutionary writerly mane!

redfox -

Hope your thumb heals soon!

No special ringtone on my phone --- just one of the tones that came with the phone. There are several to chose from on the phone, and I've gone through them, but they all sound awful. So I stayed with the default tone, which is like a chime sound. I should change it.

Hope your thumb heals soon!

Think I have an EXO song as my ring tone. Which means that my ohone goes "I lost my mind" everytime it rings. It amuses me :P

Hope your thumb gets well soon!

My ringtone is saltnpaper's Satellite, can't get enough of it!

well I bandaged and wrapped my thumb up nicely, then accidentally set it on fire slightly when I tried to light the stove with a match...

the flowers are planted, I also baked a "sai" (what we call white bread), vacuumed all the spilled flour off the floor and chased a pigeon. I have nothing to do not and I really dont want to write memos for work either.... dramas why did you leave me?????

I have different ring tones for all those I talk to often. Among those are Bubble Pop, Lion Heart, and Miu Lê - OST Em Là Bà Nội . A couple of others that I need to update.

Nice, shiny new article on CT...

Critics praise Yoo Ah In’s acting skills in playing two different characters from different eras. Many said he successfully created two very different persons. From their physical features alone, Han Se Joo and Seo Hwi Young are not even close to distant cousin. On top of that, Yoo Ah In successfully created different attitude, gestures, face muscles, and tone for each of the characters; the eccentric brassy Han Se Joo and the mysterious poised Seo Hwi Young– and these details made people believe that they are two people for real. It refreshed my memory too that Yoo Ah In can pull off a comedic role.
Critics on Ohmynews [Ohmynews is one of the very few news portals publishing independent reviews on dramas, films or books] made some interesting notes on Chicago Typewriter‘s scriptwriter Jin Soo Wan. Here are the summaries of their opinion:
Writer Jin Soo Wan is digging the psychological activities through a slow building process of the storyline, which stimulates the audience to think. She is excellent at delivering deep messages in a seemingly obvious and childish setting.
Novelist Park Jin Gyu, who wrote award-winning novel “Suspicious Molds” wrote in Ent Media that, “from the perspective of a realistic novelist, Chicago Typewriter underlines the reality of a trapped novelist, a character played by Yoo Ah In. Han Se Joo is a wacky and demanding personality, he is just like a myth of a fabulous artist that people [Koreans] have been craving for a long time– a well-worn, bizarre artist, a character that fits in the framework of the Koreans’ mind.” Han Se Joo told his rival novelist Baek Tae Min, “Instead of spending your time in the hair salon, write like crazy” –this is no different from the writer’s reality.
It is a bit understandable that Jin, as a drama scriptwriter, created a filthy rich author [note: in this case, Han Se Joo started his “empire” from the scratch. He didn’t become rich all of sudden] with idol popularity character, who writes weekly series [novel Chicago Typewriter], just like a ‘drama writer’ does, because it is close to her reality where she has to forget sleeping and spends her time writing 120 minutes of script every week. In the reality of making our drama, where production begins and drama airs before all the scripts completed, drama writers literally write like ‘crazy’. If the speed of the script completion does not match the speed of the drama, the writer is ought to write the ‘side script’ [fragmented script].

My ringtone is Lady Oscar "The Rose Of Versallaise", the Japanese instrument. I changed it since OH My Venus days, because SMH's ringtone was Lady Oscar the Korean version.

I am thinking of changing it to Satalite CT OST.

두근두근 from The Greatest Love... already long time I see...
Wish your thumb a speedy recovery!

I used to have the instrumental OST from Secret Garden :)

Oh no, get well soon! Speaking of injured fingers, I had a colleague who slipped in the parking lot and injured her middle finger. She had a splint on for a whole week, so every time she held up her hand she would unintentionally be giving everyone the finger XD;;;

My ringtone is (still) Big Bang's Tell Me Goodbye :D

Mine is instrumental of Reset by Tiger JK, ost of Who are you: School 2015. My co-workers find it cool.

It was three or four phones ago (a GS2 or a Moto Rizr) where I got tech-y and had "La Distancia para un Deulo" as my ring tone. It came from Bleach, when they go to Hueco Mundo. That whole arc had a Spanish theme to it, and I loved it!

This is the only comment I can leave tonight, as it's taken at least 30 minutes to type this, which included a restart of my miserable current phone as well as deleting my browser history. This is painfully slow, which makes me want test my phone's flight potential.

Beyond that, Happy Friday!

When I started to read your comment, I thought you meant you'd been "liking" a lot of things, but as I read on, I realized this much more serious! Feel better!

It was the orchestra version of Fantastic Baby.
Then the sound of my nephew giggle, laugh, shrieking.
Idk what to do next.

I have got born hater from epik high :P:)

My ringtone is Balloons by TVXQ because I still love that ridiculous song, and then my text tones are just like suho screaming exo sarangha! at mamas, or chanyeol's "chogiwa" from wolf. jhope screaming i love you. sungjae awkwardly saying hey guys in english....park jimin saying ding dong and excuse me. kai asking for noona to buy him chicken....Baekhyun saying bacon....ah i have no life all i do is make silly audio clips >.< when i should be working on my salon notebook thats do on the 16th

lol, i binged Love 020 in one weekend, i absolutely loved the fluffiness, i recommend boss & me (shanshan comes to eat), its from the same writer, slightly slower in the beginning but it does pick up and its also a bit more mature relationship! hope you enjoy it

"Queen In Hyun’s Man" is really good, I agree. the OTP is awesome! as a matter of fact, I heard they dated for some time after the show ended ! That Chemistry was real !
hahahahaha

Aww... Sweet little story.

Queen In-hyun is a great drama, even though the ending is a bit disappointing. Recommendation for drama with great ending??
Hmm... Have you watch Jealousy Incarnate, Marriage Without Dating, and Reply 1997? Personally, I think those 3 have great and memorable ending that suit their overall atmosphere well. Maybe you can try those.

Definitely check out Oh Hae Young Again!

Aww, that's cute!!

Queen In-Hyun's Man definitely had a disappointing end :(

I recommend you check out "I Hear Your Voice" (Lee Jong Suk & Lee Bo Young so are adorable!!)

Ally -

Aww, flowers just because. ...... Awesome. That gesture never goes out of style.

Aww, your husband deserves his own Baeksang. ? Might give you an excuse to see him in a tux. ^__^

Mystery Queen. :D

Same problem but there is I can see your voice S4... and I haven't watched all of the behind the scenes footage of SWDBS yet either

right now, i'm pretty excited about man to man. and i can't wait for suspicious partner to start up next week \(//∇//)\

You have a strong will, if You can see the positive side of that

12 Days in Korea sounds not long enough, but then I'd easily spend a month there and probably not see everything. Countries are like that.
I'm going to Korea soon too, but only for 4 nights, and only Seoul, as a taste tester I call it. 12 days sounds awesome in comparison.
I haven't been before obviously, but I know Busan and Jeju are on my list, despite the latter being an extremely popular tourist destination (Seoul-Jeju is the busiest airline route in the world, and the Chinese can travel to Jeju visa free for 30 days... so... lots of people and probably expensive)
There are lots of cool wee places on the South West coast that look really interesting to me, but I'm not sure what accommodation is like and I'm bad on the names so that probably doesn't really help...

How can 12 days be too long? I've never been to SK, but Busan and Jeju at least would definitely be on my list, since they're such common places to film/mention in dramas etc :)

Garden of the morning calm is far.. but you can do.. nami island and the garden..
Stay around Insadong...

@captblackdog is there now, so I would suggest checking out her facebook page and messaging her--her pictures are absolutely mesmerizing. @trys.three on FB.

Best place for Korea visit is Trip Advisor. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g294196-i8160-South_Korea.html

Oh man, my sister and I went for two weeks last October and felt it wasn't enough! We're actually going end of Oct this year too :)
My friend used to live in Busan (now she's in Seoul)) and always gushes about how nice it is. If you're going in the middle of Oct., I believe the Busan Film Festival will be going on and apparently it's fantastic. (FYI at the beginning of the month is chuseok so some places might be closed down for 2-3 days.)

Are you planning on going to the DMZ at all? It's very impactful and quite surreal. I highly recommend if you're a kpop fan to try to go see a daily taping—we went to an Mnet countdown and it was so neat. Also SMTown at COEX is freaking amazing.

I have tons of food recs too if you need them :)

Last year, I was staying in an apartment (Airbnb) in Hongdae which was amazing because the building was above the subway station. The escalator to go to the subway was just a few steps from the building's main door. Convenience store, cafes, Innisfree store, etc were nearby. Hongdae street was just a walking distant.

If you like shopping, I suggest Yeongdeungpo and Garosugil/Sinsadong! Also, I think the palaces will be open for night tours during the period you're going. It's worth it to go at night since they have beautiful lighting set up and they'll have a stunning light/dance show at gyeonghoeru!

Jeju would be wonderful! You can take the kids to the orange farms and pick oranges! And the museum areas will be fun! Although you can also find the museums in Seoul..
I went during Chuseok two years ago, so it wasnt that crowded. And i suppose theres considerably less tourists these days, due to the political issues, so i guess its worth considering!

Do try the black pork bbq, abalone porridge, and the fish! There was this restaurant that I went, its called 춘심이네. Their specialty is this super long fish bbq (probably ribbon fish), which theyll cut at your table. Im sure the kids would love to watch it! ^^

This week my wife will have an affair?

Yesss! It made me to rewatch it!

I feel like a bad addict.. I have no idea where it's from!

two thumps up for MWIHAATW:)

Thanks for the anime recommendation: I'll check it out this weekend!

Since we're talking about anime, can I piggyback your post and recommend Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor (Roku de Nashi Majutsu Kōshi to Akashikku Rekōdo)? This was definitely a case of don't judge a book by its cover. If you don't like ep1--and most people didn't--at least watch ep2 and judge from there.

It seems I should do the same for Tsukigakirei as I didn't get past ep1. Will watch again and see.

Lovely complex is one of my favourites!

I was recommended gekkan shoujo nozaki kun earlier this week by a friend. It was hilarious! Its about a high schooler who writes shoujo manga, and tells abt the close friends he gets his characters inspirations from! So funny!! And simple and really its something you can watch anytime lol

The second lead in QotR, is that Lee Tae Sun? I've been meaning to watch it, since I really want to see him in something more after Entertainer :)

I love Kim Seul Gi but couldnt bring myself to finish QOTR. And I like the second lead too. Luckily can get to see KSG in Lookout soon. I hope her character this time would be a bit different from what she usually does.

Me too. He's the only character that I like in that series. I'm really hoping to see him in another project where he'll be the lead soon.

Ah Queen of the Ring.. That drama kinda left a bad tast in my mouth. Even if they tried to redeem themselves in the story it just didn't cover the initial message they seemed to give. Same with that other body swap drama... what was it's name again... anyway two sisters swap body and they ALMOST managed to teach something. But then kinda fell short.

Hey! Congratulations on finishing the semester in one piece!!!! And I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and Germany. It's a wonderful country with a great train and bus system that will allow you to spend each weekend in a different country if you so desire :)

I thought about getting super power girl for my phone lol

I wanna get the "WHAT" soundbyte from WLFKBJ as a notification tone.

I'm actually waiting for the subs to come out for Onna Joushu Naotora. It will be my first historical Jdrama. How is it ?

Hey John: How is Secret Romance? I love Sung Hoon but it seemed so fluffy and I wasn't in the mood for fluff. Same reason I didn't try to watch The Liar and his love. What am I missing? Is the J-drama good? Haven't watched one in a few months.

i'm watching Onna Joushu Naotora on dramanice dot es - the epilogue history segments are subbed... tho it's only subbed thru ep 10 currently.
