Lee Min-ho considers new drama role

by javabeans

I have to say this "FINALLYYYY", wah, i wait this for so so long,why he's not choose It Started from Kiss?. Tired for drama from comics? whatever the drama or film it's ok for me as long as i can see him with his charm in some actions,real actions i mean, not just CF or photoshoots. But i hope it goes well, not like Rain who take A Love to Kill after his famous drama Full House and end up dissapointing (I agree with u Nicholai), coz i don't know, may be because his role in that 2 drama is so opposite and extreme. I think in LMH new drama he's become someone who so opposite with Gu Jun Pyo, wow, you have to be carefull MInno ssii. BTW i'll always support u, Hwaiting!!!!

Anybody watch Heading to The Ground starred by UKnow and Goh Ara? When i saw that drama i think that drama suppose to be a serial with Macarell Run starred by LMH, Macarell Run is the story about the football player in high school and HTTG is about the football player after he finished his school,try to be a pro soccer player but he failed and try to be success. When I saw HTTG i always think "waw, how about LMH play this drama?" I don't know he will make the hit or not, but i always think LMH is good for that kind of drama, ha was good in Macarel Run but too bad that drama not make a big hit. Yeah, that's only what i think. >< V

Ooh! Have to comment since we're onto the last 3 episodes!

Firstly a pat on the back for JGS for not butchering a Sinatra classic. I'm so proud of the boy : ) except for the "jupiter & mars" and the "in other words" as mentioned above, i think he did good. Very often any english dialogue (let's not even go to singing) in Korean, Taiwanese or Japanese dramas really, really makes me cringe. I thought I would feel embarassed for JGS, but he actually exceeded my expectations. BTW, i thought the song tied in well with the stars and moon theme.

Agree that JYH seems to tackle the complex emotions like anguish and regret much better than the straightforward ones. I think the Hong sisters must quite like him coz they gave him really good material to work with in this episode. With episode 13, SW has become a character you can emphathize with and feel for. He is officially Mr what-might-have-been. Although he is still caught in his web of half-truths, i would like to think that it is out of selflessness that he's still there. I think he figured out that confronting MN with the whole truth would not change anything except add to her burden of guilt and self reproach. Better to be her friend in the shadows. I think that's what is really appealing about SW right now. He's not just concerned with how he feels about MN but also about her bigger picture and how his actions could adversly affect her.

MN's stupidity is starting to get to me. I mean she's never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, but her current level of denseness is just off the scales. If she gets any dumber she'll need a post-it to remind her to breathe. Just because you grew up in a convent doesn't give you license to be that dense.

But my fav scene was the cooking scene ;p I loved how TK threatened HY with the knife when she tried to slide up to him. And Jeremy's face when he ate the pasta! Hilarious!!! I actually really enjoy TK and HY moments. Their oneupmanship really adds to the humor. I am a little sad that HY's face doesn't look as big as it used to though.... someone feed that girl!

First of all, thank you for yet another wonderful recap Javabeans. I think it's granted that we should be thankful of your effort to make a recap so quick, precise and well written. What a day of watching drama would be without your skillfully written recaps, and I have to say I'm growing accustomed to reading your recaps in order to have a full grasp of what was happening in the story because I feel that you are better in relaying the details and strips the hidden depth of each scene beautifully. For instance the part where Shin Woo sees Mi Nyeo in the shoes that he's trying to give her in the past, though I know it's heartbreaking for him, I couldn't figure out as to why it would hurt he deeply, but you manage to make me see how it affects him as the character he is. And I love how you bring up more joy into reading your recaps by putting scenes (i.e. the gifs) that really cracks me up as the drama would. All in all, great job and I look forward to more in the next episode to come. ^^ Good day.

thanks for the recaps and insights... Carpe Diem. Seize the day...

"you have to respect the guy who’s learned from his first almost-missed-chance to grab it (literally!) the second time. Shin-woo has had multiple chances, but he’s still too afraid to take them."

reminds me of 'My Best Friend's Wedding'
"if you love someone you say it, you say it right then, out loud. Otherwise the moment just... Passes you by."

i don't know when this amazing news article was posted but let me just say, I AM VERY FREAKING PLEASED RIGHT NOW. I AM EXTREMELY ECSTATIC AT READING THIS AT 6:36AM WHEN I HAVEN'T GONE TO SLEEP ALL NIGHT AND WAS PLANNING TO BUT THIS WONDERFUL TIDBIT OF INFORMATION IS GOING TO KEEP ME AWAKE AND EXCITED FOR ANOTHER FEW HOURS. I AM TEEHEEING ALL OVER MY DORM ROOM AND ROLLING AROUND MY BED AND KICKING MY HEELS IN GLEE.

...

yeah, like other people, at second thought i was a little apprehensive of more draggy storylines (is it just me or has it started to drag a little more lately? no? just me? okay, i'm just getting my 16-episode itch on then. damn, those things are annoying, but they just won't take the hint and leave me alone), howeverrrrr, yes, it was planned for 50 episodes anyway, wasn't it? and knowing about it this change this early is not going to dent the effect of the pacing by much.

...

sometimes i wish korea paid more attention to things i like but i am very glad right now that they more or less love (when they remember) the two things that i'm in love with, which is wonder girls and smile, you. you freaking rule, korea. keep up the good work.

I'm looking at this from SW pov.: I like this girl. I know she likes someone else. But perhaps if I've been good to her one day she'll see me and perhaps like me back. The closer I get to her, the more I wanted to tell her how much I love her, but I can't. And the more I can see how much she's in love with that other man. I wanted to tell her, so I plan and plan and plan for the grand gesture, so that she'd be impressed with me. Even though deep in my heart I know it would never happen, I do not want to give up hope. But when she told me that the other man accepts her, I know there's no hope at all. But again, I keep on hoping that perhaps, being a nice guy would pay off. I wanted to cherish her, making her happy, make her smile for me etc.. and the worst part of it is that even when I did that, she still can't see me. It's tiring that I keep on chasing her shadows, knowing fully well that I would never catch it. I must be pathetic. Really, really pathetic.

And for that I really pity him.

As for the Mo Hwa Ran, I think she's somehow disillusioned at some point. The fact that she repeatedly keeps on assuring herself everytime she listens to the song was a bit weird to me (it happened in previous eps too). As if she's trying to tell and convince herself that the song was meant for her. That she's his true love. But what if.. I mean what if the song wasn't truly meant for her. What if it was meant for MN's mother? And she can't accept the fact? Like HY, she's trying to live with memories that are of her best interests. If that really happens, I would really pity her for being that way. But again, we'll have to wait to solve the real mystery.

Btw, I think TK has his mom's traits more than he thinks - they're both very blunt with their words - saying what they think, instead of going around the bush. Both are also very stubborn, and will do anything to get what they want.

As for the progress btw MN and TK's relationship, I love the cute Internet scene, and the fact that he's now has fully come to terms with his own feelings. But I was not really moved on the duet piano singing. The gesture was sweet, the song is nice, and the voices are ok.. the pronunciation was a bit off (haha), but I don't know.. I don't really get that scene. Perhaps it's kind of weird seeing TK being all lovey dovey LOL. But if everyone's prediction is right.. that they're preparing us of the storm, I wish they could give us 1 or 2 more cute scenes, so if would soften the blow LOL.

As for HY, I do pity her too, and I think she knows that she's being pathetic in her actions, but in denial of that She's so disillusioned that I think TK's the only one who mananged to tone her down. Which is one of the reasons why she is attracted to TK. Despite his harsh words, he always managed to push her to the ground.

I could only watch ep 14 earliest on Saturday, :( ...coz I'll be going off somewhere. Won't watch the raw tonight, because I need to feel the words. Especially in these last three eps. Waiting for the whole 2 days will definitely test my patience. Arrgh!
