Hi girlFriday! (Wave

Wow, that was quick I thought you'd space these out. Nice surprise though.
Ahhhhh, Buffy ? my obsession before I found K-dramas (I'm the type to only get over an obsession with another obsession)

Buffy will never not be awesome. You know, except for "Beer Bad" because that was a terrible episode. There's a group of us at work that love love LOVE Buffy and like to make references. I know one of my friends is having a bad day when her dry erase board says "Fire bad, tree pretty." I even have a Buffy action figure on my desk. Maybe because I see myself as fighting baddies for my work. To be fair, I'm finding them by looking at data and internet searches so maybe I'm not Buffy. Maybe I'm actually Penelope Garcia. I'm good with either one.

Favourite drama is Doctor Stranger? or is that most hated drama?

Exhibit A just made me want to be Seungho's cat as well. omg How in the world did I forget this fluffy relationship?

The mutant baby drama though... hahahaha! As much as I like LJS, to this day I have never gone beyond episode 2 of Doctor Stranger. I pretend that this drama is just a 2-hour drama.

Heol I recognized Doctor Stranger. But what's the other drama in that last part?

"And I’ll likely try any rom-com you throw at me." This is so me and I din't knew a bartender job could earn us more than being a college lecturer.

Good feels, you had that affinity for films and dramas right from your high school, same here.

I too have this dream of meeting Na PD (tho I don't think we can converse, language problem)

I think its high time that I go back to the time I was born and watch dramas such as "Jealousy" and "Feeling", also long impending "The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry"

"Yoo Seung-ho's cat" LOL!

Mentioning Buffy brings all the memories back, I was so crazy for that show!

So Reply 1997 and Doctor Stranger?!

Jealousy was also Javabeans first memorable kdrama wasn't it? Thanks for sharing these with us.

It's nice to know that recappers are human too!
Super-natural rom-com is my personal favourite! *hi5 girlFriday*
I've got to thank you for recapping IHYV. It was through reading your recap that I started to catch the show and I love it!

Heyhey @girlfriday I totally have a shopping addiction too! And ironically that's what got me really into kdramas because I needed an outlet to spend my time, rather than window shopping (because it always became actually shopping!). So that's when I really started watching dramas and not just reading recaps. And then I was down the rabbit hole with no turning back.
So I swapped one addiction for another! Haha.

My shopping now takes a backseat for my dramas. Except when there is a sale. Or a piece of clothing costs less than 10-20 dollars. Things that are below 10 dollars don't even register in my brain, it's a spinal reflex and they get purchased. Maybe I'm not that cured after all. ?

"I distinctly remember thinking as I walked to the train that it only needed a ballad soundtrack and I would’ve been convinced I was in living in The Truman Show."

My sides! Cheers girlfriday!

"A fangirl goes up to Seoul to see her oppa in concert, and ends up being kidnapped and taken to North Korea. Years later, she returns to South Korea as a doctor, and the only person who doesn’t believe she’s a doppelganger is the boy who grew up next door, who also became a doctor. They fall in love, so naturally spies are sent to kill them."LOL

I'd like to commend Doctor Stranger for making a mark in your life.

Hi, @girlfriday. *wave*
Woah, you mentioned all my fave dramas. From IHYV that started my addiction, Gumiho, to my all-time favorite Reply 1997.
Ha, I love your choice for drama character you wanted to be. Bok-gil did spent more time snuggling with Yoo Seung-ho than any of his other partners.

Veronica Mars! Oh, you remind me of my childhood, GF.
And don't worry dear, shopping is every women's most deadly sin. You're not alone... ^^

Hahha the mutant baby drama made out of Answer Me 1997 and Doctor Stranger is the strangest imagination ever and I would so not watch it if it were real. Or watch it to make fun of it's every scene! :P

What drama character would you want to be?

girlfriday: Yoo Seung-ho’s cat in Imaginary Cat. Exhibit A:

Me: uh oh!

Count me in as a Buffyologist. I would love to see a venn diagram of kdrama lovers/Buffy and Wonderfalls (javabean's fav). I think there would be significant overlap. Just thinking about this make me full of joy!

Dear Girlfriday, you are the reason why I watched King2Hearts and why I am still watching it 'til now. Thank you!

Jung Eun Ji is like one of my most favorite characters ever! Love her to bits and of course R97 is one of the best dramas I have watched! ❤️

And I'm assuming being a bartender paid more than college lecturing? ?

LOL! I was able to get the favorite drama/worst drama mash up without having seen the latter.

I love ya, Girlfriday!
Love My Girlfriend is a Gumiho - watched it 3 times and LOVE The King 2 Hearts -watched it ..... I lost count! Was one of the participating beanies for that drama and had a ball of a time! TK2H holds special memories for me, cos some of my very good k-drama friendships were formed as a result of that drama. See? Watching k-dramas and joining in the beanie discussions can bring life-long rewards!

Ha, you'd be the hobo woman from 'Legend of the Blue Sea' then?

I like mutant baby drama part.. doctor stranger of course, i don't like it either.. thank you @girlfriday ?

Great to see your 'profile' GF!

We seem to have the same taste in drama genres:
Likes the supernatural (check)
Likes rom-om (check)
Likes mysteries - definitely (check)
Dislikes - conventional melodrama or makjang family drama (check)

I deplored Doctor Stranger too... until today when I see characters get shot and fall off into water (as in the recent Man X Man even), I think ... oh no... they're doing a Doctor Stranger on us again. ? ?

Cheers GF! Always glad to read ya. ?

After watching Imaginary Cat, I was so in love with Bokgil that I went to see the cat that played her when I visited Seoul (she's called Beetle and she lives in a very well-kept cat cafe in Gangnam). She's very chic and aloof, she sits on a shelf and never lets anyone touch her, and she only comes to you if you have snacks (girl knows her priorities).

And so I concluded that Yoo Seung-ho is some kind of cat whisperer, because how did he get her to be so sweet??

Dunno, I'm pretty jealous of Yoo Seung-ho in that picture, too. (Fact: that will be an exact picture of me when I go home in a month.)

Great getting to know You! Based on your western choices I suggest you watch Wonderfalls. It's hard to find, but awesome.

If you get kidnapped by Na PD, is that considered a vacation? I'd go only if Lee Seojin and/or Kang Haneul were going also.

@girlfriday I laughed out loud on the train at you wanting to Yoo Seung Ho's cat ~ but who can blame you??!!

Is it bad I would marathon your awful mutant drama sometime when I'm either sick or moving and need something in the background?

Wow! I really like this section. I've been dying to know more about you guys and obviously thought it to be too intrusive to ask! And somehow I totally missed when Javabeans was up here. So off to read that now!

@girlfriday I'm sure you have a random skill like javabeans

Veronica Mars! Logan is kinda like an angry chaebol with a marshmallow center. I have similar taste and am a sucker for anything supernatural (and some sci fi).

Best dressed hobo makes me think of Legend of the Blue Sea.

And omo, that mix up for the dramas! This time I know both of them rather than just one. Though, @javabeans hated parts seemed a bit worse than Doctor Stranger. Ew, just writing the name of that drama still makes me mad for all the hours I spent on it.

But Lee Jong Suk! So...

"Gluttony. I have a shopping problem and I could actually imagine the slippery slope where I shopped myself out of house and home. I would be the best-dressed hobo there ever was though."
You would then looks like Hong Jin Kyung in Legend of the Blue Sea. maybe without the food stains...

Any time anyone says the words "girl friday" I automatically think of you and DB in general now! Your recaps are always my favorite to read, GF. <3

Hello @girlfriday! I love that you have this section in the page, yay to that!
I laughed at the Doctor Stranger reference.
Just so you know, I always love your recaps and POV and I'm your fan for life. You're the other half of what I consider the holy grail of recapping!

Pleasure to know ya, GF. You're always a great read!

If ur like Jung Eunji in 1997, I love u.

It's really cool you guys are doing this! It's nice to get to know the people behind the recaps and the site! Thanks for all your hard work!

Recognized Doctor Stranger as the hated drama right away. I still shudder at the thought of it... and all those hours of my life I'll never get back.

Also, the cat. Totally agree there would be no better character to be!

It makes me sad that both your moments that resembled a drama are kind of painful memories. Why doesn't a good looking guy recover a umberella that we may have left in a bus and give it back to us right at the moment it rains? *sigh*

Also, I recently watched my girlfriend is a gumiho and also read all the recaps. It was super fun to read mostly because of all the comments you guys had left throughout the episode recap and in the last episode recap, both of you had commented! That was something I didn't expect at all! It actually felt like I was watching with you guys! I wish a drama now would get you guys that excited, so that I could be a part of that fandom too!

Buffy was my show back in high school. The past couple of weeks, I been watching some of favorite episodes from season two. I just finished watching the second season of Veronica Mars and the show is so good.

Lol.
I tried watching Reply 97 but I was so unentertained that I couldn't finish the first episode and developed an allergy to the series since then. I love Jung Eun-ji and, I sort-of like Seo In-guk but I just wasn't feeling the show. Which is funny because being an obsessed teenaged fangirl is something I should be able to connect with.

Hi Girlfriday!
Just catch up with your podcast and I really enjoyed it!
Nice to see I was not the only Buffy and Veronica Mars fan!

a lot of unexpected answers. I don't know GF as well as I thought, so good thing there's this spotlight for us :)
