Happy Friday!! Buenos días!!
I am actually new to this site, though I have been a huge K-drama fan since 2003.
I wanted to say I love the dramas recaps.
Well, I have tons of things to bake.

Have a nice day everyone!!

Happy Friday to all...

I just felt so miserable..congested and all. I am always at the end of the line when kids gets cold or cough. They all feel better and I am the one that is getting it all now. That is what I get to having a kindergarten in the house...lol

At least it is Friday...hubby dearest is off ..so probably I will have some TLC ..he can take the kids out and I will have my peace and quite and sleep. Rainy weekend and I love to sleep when it is raining...:))

Enjoy your weekend everyone...and here comes May....in a few months...it will be Christmas once again...lol

just watch CS ep 9 so here goes.. MAY CONTAIN SPOILER:

i know its a cinderella-like plot but it doesnt have to follow it all the way through right?
if you get what im saying... i mean we all seen it coming but im sure everyone was hoping praying and do all kind of matra hoping for the opposite.. I couldnt stop crying until an hour later.. :'( Why o why?

Happy Friday to all. I am planning to curl up in my comfy bed tomorrow and watch "Personal Taste" ep. 9 and 10 with Subs of course.. I have been reading some of the spoilers and these two eps is a must to watch. So all have a great weekend.

Hi all, happy Friday... I was up far too late last night trying to finish a project and I'm a little shell-shocked today. But it's sunny outside, finally, so I must go out there and get some vitamin D.

@ lb_tmi: you are brave! I can't bring myself to do it, even though my eyes are so bad. Are you near or far-sighted? I am very very near-sighted. I dream of waking up and not having to reach for my glasses... but I think I would find it weird and disconcerting to suddenly be able to see the ceiling of my bedroom. There's a certain comfort in soft blurry edges to the world. Well, fingers will be crossed for your successful surgery next week!

kop...
i know! the only genuinely good character.. and how could k ever redeem himself now?

Happy friday to everybody! Just wanted to say I had a wonderfully week on a professional level and I feel so relieved because I've been working so hard to make it, it's really nice to see your efforts being awarded^^ I'd like to ask a question to my fellow drama-addict, even though it has nothing to do with drama : what are you reading these days and are you enjoying it? I'll start with me: I'm reading a Robbin Hobb's book "The Golden Fool" and I have to admit it's one of nicest book I've read in years: wonderful characterization, intricate plot, twists and turns,amazing style...I'm basically having the time of my life reading it. What about you?

Anyone watching dong yi? it is THE BEST!!

SLTSMTW! (so little time, so much to watch)

Cinderella’s Unni (ep 9) — Wowz. Picking up the plot with ep 9, are we. My interest is perking up again.

Personal Taste (ep 8 ) -- Not ground-breaking, but I like the lead actors, their interactions are getting more and more adorable and the romantic tension is upping gratifyingly. (and yes, I'm looking forward to ep 10...)

Prosecutor Princess (ep 3) -- OK, it's touch-and-go with the legal travesties. Some I can live with, others are making me want to crawl up the wall and run around the room screaming "non sequitur!" Still, the show has a certain mindless charm. I'm on the borderline as to whether In Woo is creepy, but one thing I do know:-- I'm terrified by his dress-sense! Really, the two leads should get the maximum sentence for Sartorial Misdemeanor.

@ 20 mumuchan

Reading? Who has time to read when there is so much K-drama to watch? :-)

But if you must know, Amin Maalouf's The Garden of Light (Maalouf is a brilliant writer - vivid, and yet not showy) and Peter Sheehan's Generation Y (quite an interesting and zippy read, as you'd expect from a Gen Yer)

Happy Friday!!

Not much to say today except the usual: I'm still CU's b**ch and preeeetty sure I will be till the end. We're at the halfway point now :) Another month of this awesome torture and then maybe my life will go back to normal after haha

@ twin

Lasik in a week! Awesome!! I'm so excited for you... :o)

@ reluctantbutaddicted

i feel you on the 'soft blurry edges to the world'.. there is comfort in not giving into the morning until you want/have to when you put on the glasses hehe

@ djes

IM2 is out?? i thought it came out next Friday!! I'm planning on watching it still - RDJ is just such a funny guy! But it's true - sequels are never as good as the original.

Today is the last day for class for me. I have one more presentation to go and bam! Done! I will be off to partying with the cool people :)

Anyways, I watched ep 9 of CS yesterday. My heart actually ache. I began ep.10 and lets say that Taecyeon is doing sooo much better than I expected him to. I thought he would only be eye candy, but oh boy, with some more polishing he can become quite the actor. The way he looks at MGY makes my heart melt. The adorable, unwavering, and innocent devotion is seen through his eyes. Though they don't have the poignant look I think Ki hoon oppa acquires, it is the rawness of his childlike helplessness that really kills me.

I know its a great sweeping general opinion, but MGY is just so good. She makes me want to hold her and tell her that everything is going to be alright. But honestly, If I met Eun jo in real life, I would probably dislike her. I think Hyo Sun was right when she said that Eun jo character was weak. She puts on a strong facade, but in reality, she is more sensitive to the people around her, and even more self conscious than Hyo Sun about what people think. Strong in character, weak at heart.

Despite popular opinion, I see myself liking hyo sun. I like her and hate her ( same can be said about Kangsook, Eun Jo, and Ki hoon). In the beginning I was afraid that she would not be a suitable opponent for Eun Jo. But she is really shaping up to be the competitor. And I think the turn of events this week will really bring her some emotional growth. It gives her character room to develop in different directions that otherwise would have been a singular path. The end of ep.9 really is the crossroads of these character's life, in which one defining emotional moment changes their motives and open new paths. They ahve to decide where to go next now that the foundation they were walking on is shaken and destroy.

On the upbeat note, I also watched PT yesterday. I just have to say that ep.9 of PT have some of the darnest cutest moment. From Kae-in's conversation with Do-bin about unrequited love to Do-bin's confession to Jin-ho about boredom, to Kae-in and Jin-ho's estranged date. Everything is just adorable. But it is also in these adorable moments that emotional sincerity is leaked through. We see Kae-in's desire to see Jin-ho happy despite of her growing feelings for him, we see do-bin's genuine happiness in his bravery, and Jin-ho's internal conflict between hurting the people he cared for, being honest, and his frustrations on his own growing feelings.

2010 has been such a great year for K-dramas. I find myself actually engaging and emotionally investing in these characters like I have never before. But I really do need to watch something happy after seeing CS. the lord knows that it was DEPRESSING.
