lol...me and my korean addiction. Seems like everything/one is turning up Korean in my little world. I'm addicted to this show on Discovery channel called Jon and Kate plus 8. It's a reality tv show about a couple who has twin girls, decides they want more kids and ends up with sextuplets, 3 boys, 3 girls. So they have 8 little rugrats! (I would have said, "Kill me now!") Really cute! At first, I noticed that the kids look like they had Asian blood, so I thought father must be Asian. It turns out Jon, the father, is half Korean. The kids are all adorable and mischievious. The parents are funny in their interaction. Jon is laidback whatever. Kate is organized and straightforward. Check it out!

@Rocketfuel: You liked them that much?
I was personally rooting Kaba Modern....A bit biased on my side as I love Cali and their style...XD But they're also really good, so I don't mind loving them.
But after them, Jabbawoockeez was next. They were great.
Thank you for recapping HGD, Javabeans. It's ended, but I hope that's not the end of your recaps. They're hilarious.

what other dramas are you looking forward to summarizing?
i'm hoping Rivals/Powerful Opponents or I Love You will be good, and maybe you'll choose them to recap.

I've been watching Who Are You...I'm really liking it so far! The guy that plays Seung Hyo is hilarious!!!! I tried watching On Air - I couldn't stand it either. All the main characters are annoying...especially the writer and the top star actress person. And why is there so much yelling????

it has been a long week. constantly doing the same thing for two days straight has me going nuts. TGIF, everyone!
i watch Jon and Kate plus 8 too! i found out Jon was half-Korean when i saw his arm tattoo. i was tickled! their kids are all sooo adorable. hats off to Kate for keeping everything organized and sane! my mom and i just laugh at their antics but we may never, ever know how totally draining it is. thank goodness Jon has a more flexible work sked and can help around more.
really enjoyed your Gil Dong summaries javabeans, thanks! have you watched Capital Scandal already? Kang Ji Hwan was nominated for the Baeksang for his role. so excited for that.

Hi everyone, Happy Friday :D I haven't watched any new dramas since Golden Bride finished, I only just started watching KDramas this summer, so I have a LOT of older ones to catch up on! Currently, I am watching Winter Sonata, Oh! Phil Seung Bong Soon Young, Water Bloom and I just recently finished Attic Cat, that was really cute!!! But HGD looks good too, so that's on my watch list as well :D

Okay, can someone please clarify this?
The korean chick on the "international dating" banners that's plastered all over soompi and frankly, on this site as well...is that Han JiHye before she did something to her eyes? It looks awfully like her.
LOL!

This is super random.. but THANK YOU beans for the song sung by Sissel in HGD's last eppieee..
I was drawn to the song more than the scene itself (didn't like the ending very much, but it was satisfactory). But the point that I want to make is that I REALLY LOVE the song.. Sissel's voice is really very soothing.. I did not know it was sung by Sissel.. in fact I forgot that there was such a singer, until I youtubed her, and discovered that she was the one who sang the OST main theme of Summer Snow, the Jap drama! And suddenly I got so excited.. cos I remembered I love that song soooo much. Now I'm gona search for her videos...hahaha...
Okay, that was random XD

Cee, I have been wondering whether that is Han JiHye as well? If it's not her, that lady looks like her a lot.

Hm, in my opinion, that dating-site google ad girl resembles Han Ji Hye, but I doubt it's her.
And no, I haven't decided for or against watching new series yet. I find it's better to wait and actually see the first few episodes before committing to something, so as not to get stuck with something completely different from what I expected. I'm hoping the next crop of dramas has something exciting. I'm super curious about Daemool (with Go Hyun Jung and Kwon Sang Woo) and Rivals, although I'm still not sold on Chae Rim being some kind of badass secret service agent.
