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.

well here we are again, can't stay away...in wait for our next dosage...

@296
I would love to see that episode as well, where YH gets hit by a truck and dies...but yeah, I don't think we'll get to see it, but hey...we can always imagine it right?

But I do agree with some that TK and YH have chemistry. They match in their bratty ways and are able to handle each other's temper quite well.

AAhh...what will we do when this drama is over??? Oh, that's right, watch the next JGS drama!

Is it Wed yet?

"I’m always decorating my “next” house in my mind. Or the fabulous NYC studio apartment I’ll have one day, or my little mountain home away from home…which reminds me, wonder if hubby bought any lottery tickets this week?"

You can decorate my NYC pad anytime. Of course we have a little problem with distance. Actually I've been wanting to hire a color consultant because while I'm good at selecting furniture and stuff I can't seem to select the right wall colors to go with it all.

"Anyone else into SG Wannabe? I just started listening to their music after catching a snippet of La La La, and I think they’re fantastic. Once I learned what SG stood for, I was sold (Hil.a.ri.ous!). Lee Seok Yun has a pretty good voice, and I don’t mind him replacing the guy that left, since I was never attached to the original group."

I love SG Wannabe. They are my favorite Korean music group. I actually saw them perform when they were in NYC about 2 years ago. I have noticed they sound more folk and more like simon and garfunkle with the new member. I like the new member well enough but cringe whenever they do some of the old songs with him e.g. partner for life. It just doesn't sound right without Dong Ha.

The thunderstorms just keep rolling through here. When the lightning and thunder were 3 seconds apart at dinner time, I unplugged all my computers, but then peace prevailed until after I plugged them in & turned them on again, and now more thunder. The thing with rain in the pacific northwest is that it isn't just a nice weekend's rain to make things clean, it is six months of gray skies and wet, wet, wet. Well, time to stay indoor and watch dramas, I guess. I have the movie Crow's Zero for tonight, but I forget now why, or for who, I wanted to see it.

Me too, I want the pig-rabbit. And if anyone sees JGS' hoodie blouse, please let me know. I want to get one.

@langdon 813

I've been into interior designing lately too. I don't know why. I'm not particularly creative or artistic. But I do enjoy rooms and homes that are uniquely put together. I do think it's too late and inappropriate for me to change career now.

I'm going to be in LA next weekend. Anything I shouldn't miss?
