JB,

Do you have to pay money to make ringtones for your cell, do you need to go to a special website or something? I remember my friend sending me mp3 of the Final Fantasy 7 victory song (the song is called Fanfare), but he said that if I wanted to make it into a ringtone, I would have to pay some fee...

i used the free trial, create-a-ringtone...or you can just edit a MP3...dunno exactly how to do it...

speaking of ringtone, What's your current ringtone?
mine's from movie Amelie, La Redecouvete...

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!

i was just watching sad sonata, and I've realized that kwon sang woo is a tool. My Kdrama watching has really come a long way

It depends on your phone. Some phones can make a ringtone odd of an mp3 for you.

@ samsooki

Really depends on what phone you have. Some phones have proprietary software, others are more open.

@ JB

So give me a quick update. What are you watching, what are you skimming, what are you dropping/dropped. For some reason my head's been spinning too much to keep up

thanks a lot for this one. it sounds so nice. i've been reading your reviews for korean dramas. they are really helpful for beginner like me^^

Happy Friday all....

Goodbye to Fashion Fanfaronade week. lol

I am slowly watching city hall and story of a man, but I am suckered into dang gae geum. I heard many great things about it but since it was an old k drama I wasn't too excited; plus it had like 54 episodes. Good thing I did though. Dang gae geum is killer. The story, the characters, the plot, the scenery, etc are freaken fantastic! I am only on episode 8 but I am loving it!

Has anyone seen the X-Men: Wolverine movie? How did Daniel Henney do?

Thanks in advance :D

My computer was out of commission for a couple of days this week. I was searching for Allegro Cantabile by Suemitsu & The Suemith, when I got to a bogus site. My machine got infected! #$^%&!!! Norton was able to fix it, but for a hundred a pop! Owel, I'm just glad it's up and running now, and that I get to read Dramabeans on a bigger screen as opposed to my cellphone's.

@Samsooki

You can do it through iTunes...

@Shin7,

Daniel Henney was ok...mostly because he didn't have that many lines. But the one scene where he did speak a fair amount was um...interesting.

javabeans, just wondering... I know you enjoy blogging about kdramas and all that (and I do appreciate your work!), but do you ever get tired of it and feel like taking a long break from it? Especially the drama recaps, which must be tiring to do. What keeps you going all this while? Hope you're having a great Friday!

Happy Friday!!

Excited about the Epik High concert tomorrow night :o) I'm so glad they decided to do a mini world tour... i was totally prepared to go to one day go to korea to see them in concert haha. And if I get to meet them on Sunday, it'll just make my year!

javabeans, thank you for introducing me to my first ryuichi sakamoto song. of course i've always heard about him and probably watched a movie with his score (though I didn't consciously know it was his score) and i did dl like 3 of his albums last month but didn't get around to unzipping and listening to them. love the song you posted, it's beautiful.

@Samsooki
you can create your own ringtones from mp3s at phonezoo.com. it's free, you get to choose about 30 secs of your mp3 and then text it to yourself.

Sarah, what are the good bookstores in K-town?
I know of Dong-A Book Plaza on 8th. Any recommended reads (for a slow reader)?

City Hall is good. very different from the show Lovers at least at this point of time. I found the first few episodes rather slow but funny. Looking forward for Episode 7, i think things will pick up a little more interesting relationship wise but duller politics-wise. overall i think its a light heart drama. javabean should take time off from serious drama and relax a little w city hall just for brainless laughters. why not? =)

i was waiting for your comment about City Hall..Yeah, don't force yourself to watch it if you don't like the writer. From watching too many kdramas and movies before, I have my share of K-actresses and K-actors that I hate to watch again, no matter how good the drama or movie is....I watched Lovers in Paris last week, I thought it was a cute romantic drama, but to compare the writing, City Hall has a better script so far..and Cha Seung-won and Kim Sun-ah have an amazing chemistry!

btw, I don't know if the rumor is true or not, they will mention Sam Shik in the upcoming episodes, but i do wish Hyun Bin will make a cameo as Mi-rae's ex-BF..

I actually like On Air, Lovers writer. I like her woman characters. Her weakness is she doesn't know how to sew up her dramas. They always fall apart in the end. I Ioved the first half of Lovers and hated the rest. On Air was better. Didn't watch Lovers in Paris....I don't find the leading man attractive. Also it's too old. I don't care for old dramas.....they dress so funny.
I might give City Hall a try out of respect for the leading lady.....MNKSS still remains a sentimental fav......the first 5 episodes were brilliant and that Hyun Bin was easy on the eye.

Re Kim Seong Hyuk -- glad he's alright now after his car accident a few weeks ago & back to his drama filming! All the best to his full recovery - Kim - keep fightin!

This is the kind of movie that ... kills me.

I know that I go all nuts for the daily drama Temptation of Wife (I don't even know how to begin to rate this drama, it is a species all its own, and it doesn't get compared to anything else because I've never seen anything like it ever, but it is like a drug, and if you get into it, there is no getting out - I am rather surprised that so few of you are into this drama, maybe you all "just say no to drugs" or something like that), but really, I like good movies and I think this movie will be a great one, if you haven't seen it yet, maybe go and search for it.

Yes to sassy vampires and to masked ninjas and to world's greatest swordsman and/or pop star assassins, but a HUGE YES, for films like this.
