I've been hearing that the world is covering in snow...yet it is supposed to be almost 80 degrees and beautiful here in Los Angeles! I guess I can't complain!

45 days until Korea and Japan! Does anyone have any suggestions of things to do and where to go?

TGIF!
And yet I still woke up too early (Chuno habit's already ingrained in my cells)...aigoo, guess it'll be at least another 3 months before I get a good night's sleep.

JB, love the new Audio Player! The previous [non-changeable] volume used to be set louder than everything else on my computer, so whenever I switched between listening to your songs and anything while I used my headphones, my ears would always go into shock. ;)

Happy Happy Friday OT peeps. My big sis leaves today...this is the last time I am going to see her for a while because next month I leave for Seoul!!!! It feels good having the whole family together again.

So I finally finished watching ISWAK 2 and it was a fun ride, but I am glad it ended. Now I want to watch Flowers For My Life as I wait for more subs from Smile, You:)

yes, there is a lot of snow. i'm from the midwest and there was a blizzard south of where i am. we got like maybe five inches of snow but we're all still driving to work/school.

@KORN - that's so cool ur going to Korea and Japan! How long are you going to be there for?

No snow in Seattle, yet.

We had to cat-sit last night... I couldn't sleep at all because of the little ball of energy. I should catch up on WISFC, but don't feel like watching something so angsty at 7 in the morning. =____= Anyway, it's Friday... YAY!

@robotmatsuri - yeah i know what u mean. WISFC sure is angsty. i haven't started watching it; i've been reading the recaps on this site and it fills me w/ emotions already

OT has come round again, where did the week go.
I've just finished the first ep of pasta and i must say that I was pleasantly surprised as i had no high expectations for it, l cant wait to get started on the second one Thank goodness the folks over at viikii are so fast.
God of study is looking less appealing to me but i'll watch the first 3 eps and see how i feel after.
The little summary that Javabeans did of the mon-tues dramas was very helpful, i'll probably end up checking out all the dramas that she mentioned. though whether i'll stick with all of them remains to be seen.

Has anybody watched Chuno yet, any first thoughts? That ones high up on my to watch list

@ mississy - My husband and I are going for 2 weeks, 11 days in Seoul and 3 days in Tokyo. We're so excited! I haven't been in 15 years and this will be my husbands first time. Wow...5 inches of snow?! I don't think I've ever been in that much snow.

It's Friday! It's Friday.....lalalalalalala Happy Friday everyone!
It snowed a little bit in NYC last night...
Chuno, my newest drama addiction, is occupying my mind at the moment.
I've only watched a few j-doramas in 2009...anyone have any recs? I like dramas such as Galileo, Pride, Nodame Cantabile..etc. Not sure if there's a genre but just any drama in the vicinity of really darn good!

@KORN - five inches of snow is nothing. we had a foot of snow a few weeks ago. but luckily i was in California. Well have a great time in Seoul and Tokyo! that's so cool ... One day i'll go there.

hi there all!!! =D
it's already friday huh? i can't feel it because i have class tomorrow!!!

first things first:

god of study's first episode literally made me fall asleep! i loaded the first 2 episodes so i could watch them continuously, but my eyes were barely open after the first episode..i guess it's just really draggy, but i really want to watch the 2nd episode because it made jb cry, so i'm really curious although i have an idea because i saw dragon zakura (3 episodes, hahaha!)..i was looking forward to a hot lawyer, but i gota say, my eyes were stolen by that hot looking delivery kid..hehehe..

as for pasta, i'm really curious, but i don't know where to watch it..i was even gona download it from d-addicts, but i can't find the subs for it..so i think i'll stick with the recaps from jb for a while..

lastly, i want to take advantage of this opportunity to thank you jb for the wonderful recaps, you're really amazing =D

have a great weekend everyone!

for you guys in the states its friday.
but for me. its 5 mins till saturday and 2 days of madness cramming of work, as i have 2 projects due next week, and one test.
this does not feel like a new year.

but i must say, dramas are a great break from work. ^^ or more like something i get distracted with.

@KORN... yay! I have 72 days 12 hrs 54 mins 40 secs (I have a trip countdown..hehe) before I leave for Tokyo. Just in time for cherry blossoms, I hope.

Comtemplating over the decision to pursue Kim Nam Gil (who happen to be in my country) or not ....Mmmhhhh???? To be or not to be, that is the question...

"Has anybody watched Chuno yet, any first thoughts? That ones high up on my to watch list"

First thoughts on Chuno -

AWESOMESAUCE

WE ARE NOT WORTHY!

SLEEP, WHO NEEDS SLEEP???

:D

@1 KORN,3 Dele & 15 Snikki - Lucky you!:-)I'm sure your trips will be fun.:-)

From the Urban Dictionary
Happy Late Year - When people are still saying Happy New Year, even though it's already a week after the new year.

A little late but wish you JB and all at Dramabeans a Happy New Year. :-)

I've been off the OT for a while, but I'm back..... Sick as a dog :(. We got a little coating (like an inch) of snow here. Not as bad as say... the two feet we got a few weeks ago. I'm already in pursuit of a bathing suit. Please Pasta, don't make me indulge in food stuff all winter long!

Hey OTers! It snowed 2 days ago, still lingers today and it's literally just started snowing again, and at sunset too. Yeppo.

SUPER excited about Chuno, I'm stalking WITHS2's sub stats page already. Not to mention waiting for ep8 of WISFC, whose plot direction is making me uneasy but the atmosphere is lovely so we're sticking with it. Kang Jin's mother is so ace, and the actress is wonderful, I rather love her. How refreshing as a kdrama parent. Do so miss the teen actors though.

So 2 days ago I found out my Korean class homework was to watch a drama/summarise in Korean/write new words. But I'm stuck for time so I'm cheating/using YAB, and I keep getting stuck rewatching bits. This drama is still gold. Ah, Shinwoo, how perfect you were back when you were untouched by unrequited feelings for a nun-in-training. I would also like to take this opportunity to sadface at the fact that they thought it would be a good idea to dye Hongki's eyebrows blonde.

I cannot believe how super-fast and awesome the WITHS2 guys are! *gives each and one of them a big virtual hug* Seriously, when I feel down or I've had a bad time, I check their page and there's always, always something new. Pasta made my day yesterday. I may have been refreshing it like mad since their latest tweet? Ahem.

And I think I'll be watching many dramas in January. *is embarassed to name them all* Too many. Wayyy too many.

@20 xiahkixiri Re: Hongki's eyebrows
WOOOOOORD!

I am very unhappy about my inability to understand Korean at this point of time.
Pasta, Chuno....both sound so good and I have time, but no subs yet

French? why did I take that language. It has done nothing for except to pile on papers and exams.

/rewinds time and decides to take korean as a college freshman

Just finished watching Queen of Housewives and I must say it was actually pretty good. I was hesitant because it's an ajhumma drama but the characters were a pleasure to watch. Yoon Sang Hyun and Kim Nam Joo were amazing and brought a lot of depth to their characters. The extension did hurt it's overall plot direction and got a little too serious in the final stretch but it was satisfying drama.

@xiahkixiri and Sera: oh my eyebrows... i kept wondering what changed about hongki's hairstyle that episode, and then it hit me, and I too was very saddened.

@KORN: it snowed a LOT about a week ago, enough to make the buses stop running. and most of it's still here, just... brown. but only in the streets! :P so the slopes should be really nice about now, and I've heard that Konjiam and High 1 are both great ski resorts. Gwanghwamun and the Hyatt Hotel are both nice for ice skating and Myungdong is awesome for shopping! So are Sinchon and Hongdae.

hope you have fun!! ^^

@17 hjkomo

if its as good as what everyone is saying it is well then I smell a new addiction coming, this won't be good for school
