G'day fellow OTers! I need a major digression from the wait for Wednesday's YAB and have it here on OT :D.

@ 28 reluctantbutaddicted
First up, as a devoted Cityhaller, totally second and third your kiss scenario for Ep 11 YAB. Yet, seeing a photo from Soompi where HKT is taking off his jacket in the auditorium hall. I have a feeling that it might be more Last Scandal than CH.

@ 45 haezi
Lucky you to have seen the 2009 version of Emma. I love Romola Garai but guess we will have to wait till next year when it is shown in Australia. Definitely think it a great idea to have KMM as Mr Rochester and GHJ as Jane Eyre. Has anyone heard further about Ellen Page's turn as Jane Eyre??

@ Autumn's Concerto
Didn't realise so many DBers are following this one too! I watched the first five episodes in one go a few days ago with the same motive as everyone - Vanness. And, boy, what a great job he'd done here. And Ady is doing fine too! I am not sure if I want to follow up the drama immediately for its MG2 storyline though. Maybe a few weeks later after YB is done to fill the withdrawal void. Sounds like a plan, hehe.

@ 299 thankyou : first, thanks and second, ooh yes! He would have to ask exactly that. And then we'd see that she's wearing the hair pin under her veil.

Yoon So-yi jumps into filming for Hero

oh i forgot to say ~

at first i think she's not pretty at all, quite disappointed with the new female lead. Anyway, she looks so cute when she smile. It can brighten up the atmosphere. ^ ^ it quite suit the role of Ju Jae In who has some cute side when she loves someone.

i'll start to like her keke...

First of, love ur name
Second, I do hope he sings that song for her.
I would love love love for TK to show up at the nunnery. Infact, I want MN to disapper. I want TK to go look for her. And I want a scene where he is waiting to meet her. She approaches him as he has his back turned to her. He turns out hoping to see MN, the girl and finds MN, the sister standing there.
The question he would ask " Who are you? The MN who disguised herself as a guy and showed up at the Prez's office. The MN who stood in front me at the press conference in pink clothes? Or the MN who stands before me in a habit?"

Hello,

Sorry this is the first time I post here and I'm doing it to ask for some help.

I got my mom hooked on kdrams one of the shows we first watched was A prince's first love with subtitles in spanish since we couldn't find them in English. However they never finish posting them. I read here that the drama is on netflix, but I've been searching and searching with out luck.

If anyone has had luck finding or knows were we can watch it please let me know (link me)

@293 serendipity :

I think MN may go to back to the convent, and TK will sing the longing song for/to her, even though it obliges his mother whom he doesn't want to oblige, because in this episode he recognizes the potential power of the song. And then, in a twist of the first episode, MN will be the one listening to an iPod in church, when, as you say, TK comes striding in in all his guyliner glory to haul her out of there.

Hi there.

I've been haunting the YB thread, so I thought I'd come over here and introduce myself to all you nice folks in this community here.

I'm Asian and live in Asia (but neither Korean/Korea nor Japanese/Japan). My K-addiction started nearly two years ago when I was surfing channels one night and caught "Witch Amusement" on telly. I was sufficiently amused to keep going. Then decided to give Delightful Girl Choon Hyang a try - and loved it! Much to my dismay, as I had held out against K-Soap Opera for years, because my mother favours the Winter Sonata genre of weeping and wailing (which I can't abide). I was pleasantly surprised to learn that K-dramas include more genres than weepy soap operas.

I have since then branched out into Japan. My favourite K-dramas are DGCH (of course), Mawang/Devil (brilliant!), Last Scandal of My Life (sweet), My Name is Kim Sam Soon and A Story of a Man. My favourite J-dramas are Producing Nobuta, Honey & Clover, The Drifting Classroom, Hero, Meteor Bond, Galileo and Engine. Yes, I tend to veer more towards the J than the K. But my current addiction is YAB.

I'm a bit embarrassed by the completeness of my capitulation to K/J-drama. I have surreptitious conversations with my teenage nieces about K-pop culture, trying to keep abreast of what's really cool at the grassroots, but not letting on that I know as much as I do!

My justification (when I need one) is that my work focuses on East Asia, and watching K/J-dramas helps me understand the chopstick cultures better!

I used to frequent an internet book discussion forum. But since discovering K-drama my frivolous reading has drastically tapered off - there's just so much time to burn! Instead of my copious frivolous fiction reading, I now do copious frivolous drama watching. So it seems to make sense to transfer my internet play to this sandbox here.

Cheers, everyone! Here's to many more hours of fun and over-analysing!

Oh, yes, not to forget: All hail, Great Javabeans [prostrates self] Delighted to have discovered you and your entourage.
