sarahbeans.. i can't help but go back and read the summaries.. yes.. I'm THAT into them & this series.. ahah.. kdrama is definitely a world of fantasy.. where perfect men like GC actually exists.. he's so different from all those "players".. so it makes those sweet scenes extra special since you know that he does it with sincerity.. and yes.. like everyone else.. i was melting away at his sweetness.. and he has that dorky & adorable child-like quality of an "inexperienced" man who is falling in love for the first time.. sooo cute!!!
falling in love w/ DJ totally changes him.. his life is now exciting and he can experience the process of falling in love * with thorns and all*.. i love his comparison of roses and DJ.. and I totally rotfl when DJ imagined GC kicking her off the bed and hugging his tree instead of her.. ahahah.. at least she only has to worry about him loving his trees and not other women * like that meanie HY's cheating hubby* tsk tsk!! gosh.. i better stop now.. i try not get too drawn into this world of fantasy too much.. hehe.. i think it's a mode of escapism.. hahaha.. i don't want to stay in dreamland 24/7 because i am afraid that i will be too drawn to it and ignore the life that i should live.. ehhe.. gotta get back to reality.. but thank you again sarahbeans.. your recaps brighten up my weekend.. honestly!!! * sending sarahbeans lots of love & hugs*

Hey guys, you don't believe in fantasy and there is a guy like DG? I do 'cause my hubby is like him. Well, not as romantic as GC, but closed in his own way. Like last nite I was tired from watching our hyperactive boy, and he only went to work for like 1/2 day, I asked him to go home early, he said he can't... but 1 hr later he got home to surprise me, and he took care of the son ever since so that I can take a nap... I guess when you found someone that love you like they love themseves, they show sweet sides that you never know... and of course this drama is written by a few authors, and probably with the audience's ideas too, so it collects all the sweetest things women can ever dream in a man. I guarantee that you can see your dearest one has at least one of them, if not, kick him out :-)

Javabeans:
Thanks for your response (#23..)….. My impression was that not just lying about big issues ( i.e. medical conditions) which I can understand, but also everyday conversations from “are you hungry?” to “do you love me?”…Most recent example was the K-drama “Pure in heart”. In it, lying is a daily occurrence in most of the episodes. Does anyone here feel this way too?

I'll try to be more specific next time. Thank you Javabeans.

atalanta, if you see the Episode 3 post, the song is posted there.

lambaste, of course you're entitled to your opinion and it's fine if you don't like the series, but i've seen a helluva lot of korean television and i stand by my opinion that Flowers For My Life IS very different. the tone and the presentation are something i've seen in western television (also something i've seen a helluva lot of) but not so much in kdramas. if you're just jumping in for ten minutes now, at more than halfway through the series, i can see how you might not get that sense, but i don't think it's something you'd get in a random ten-minute sampling anyway.

and as for ratings, it's similar to the States (the nielsen company runs ratings in both), so unless you have a nielsen "people meter" box in your home (and if you're unsure if you have one, you don't), your ratings aren't measured at all. they put boxes in select homes, then extrapolate the data to get an estimate for nationwide numbers. so ratings are inexact.

Haha, I love this movie I saw it. It rocks. But It's sad to me cause the exlover is so mean! I think he's the best though!

Wow that scene with the christmas tree was just great, thank you for putting the exact quotes i was melting as i was reading it. Like you i do not believe man like him really exist but is nice to hope that perhaps one day we will see a miracle. Thank you for making these summaries, am one of those who loves to watch the episodes in raw just to know what is going on so am glad you can help us out a bit.

Thank you for your summary. You're great!

Gosh I loved this episode. Gi Chan was BEYOND ADORABLE. It was times like that I wish I could read Chinese because I was watching the Chinese subbed version. Bunde, I have to agree with you there about the Gi Chan being a good demure guy. If only such men like that existed. I melted every time Gi Chan did something sweet. And his smile! And when he said he liked her smile. Big AWWWW from me there.

I'm sure what he did this episode would've given the guys a few ideas. Bad Couple is definitely the drama I'm anticipating every week.

tee-hee...

We can't afford to have Gi Chan rule the world! He'll make the world full of diabetic women with his high "sugar" content.

Thanks for your effort of summarizing. I really like it.

and also, i've always wondered this but how are ratings measured? 'cause i sure change the channel a lot... so do they take the percentage that has tuned in for like... ten minutes? or do they just take the one that was the highest throughout the hour?
