I am very interested in what is Fan Culture for these K-dramas....

=)

hehe...it is a pity that after reading this entire summary of the story..that one comment about fan culture interest me more. =)

oh..and Hong Kong. I am so dissapointed with how they use HK in the script. sigh. That was one of the reason I was looking forward to AC. I wish they didn't even film in HK.

i agree with you 100%, the media outcry was ridiculous but (hopefully) i think most koreans understood it as just a joke. Also, did you see colbert's reply to the korean media? That was funny too, go check it out .

accusations of Korean "oversensitivity" on certain issues should perhaps be tempered with some understanding of their history, both recent and not. I'm not saying that the reactions such incidents provoke are always proper or positive, but they are understandable and comprehensible in context. And some of the matters are not inconsequential, especially to the parties involved.
besides, as the reaction (or in reality, non reaction) demonstrates, an initial surge of complaint turned into a trickle of discontent. And netizens are not exactly a representative group or majority opinion - simply a vocal set of internet users. Would you like the US judged on what its internet users say in chat forums? I've heard hardly any reaction at all from people here, and when I have it's been mildly positive.
that said, humor is very culturally based, and what's hilarious to Americans is incomprehensible to Koreans sometimes (and vice versa ) so while yes, the reaction reported in the Korean press seems inappropriate to us we should perhaps not be surprised that the exact meaning of a foreign comic utilizing a style of humor seldom seen in Korea could be misunderstood.
once again, not to say that the reported reaction was justified. And finally, Colbert was hilarious. And that's no bulgogi!

Super Thx for your summary...I also agree about sisterly relationship was solved too easy , which is weak point of this series, it should use conflict of the sisters continue and solve step by step...

ANYWAY, I DO LOVE THIS DRAMA and I'll watch it till end of the story...

Coz I love CJW, LJJ, LJW and your review..javabeans!! ^^

i swear sarah, you should write a book or something. it would be like a bestseller. i like ur version waaaaaaaaaaay better. i laughed so hard at the fact that LJJ is bleeding on a plane. plus expression on LJJ's face watching LJW pretend to be a bad ass secret service agent. its amusing at some level. lol. i wish they'd be more creative are they like saving up for something? at some point id like to be moved by the actions too. but nonetheless, merci, arigato, gomawo, graci, muchos gracias, thank you for the summary :D

hey sarah!! well its a decent episode to say the most. but i couldnt help laugh out loud after those semi-sarcastic comments about the sweater and HJ messing up the opeartion. thanks for this! :) i know why you arent so keen on continuing at times, im a huge alias fan and im sad it ended too. so i know where you are going, plus i think they are a bit underutilizing CJW and LJJ in some parts.

thanks for continuing this sarah!! ^^ it was unexpected for me to like this drama, and i cant imagine how it has hooked me. wow im suprised how im liking how RSY plays Gi Chan its adorable here. sooo incredibly sweet and a nice guy. sigh. i cant help but feel bad for him some points hahahah im enjoying this series i hope they can keep it up. i didnt really feel this drama at first but im saying now its funny, cute. ^^

Javabeans, I prefer your version with the sisters! Oh, if only you could be hired for the writing staff. It seems too easy that Yi Kyung would forgive so quickly. It's not supposed to be that easy!! *grumbles*

I agree with cocoa, I totally like your version of the sisters as well!

I remember you mentioned that Air City was written by a team of writers instead of the traditional one or two. It seems like there was a lack of communication on their part--like they didn't consult with one another when writing the script.

And it's definitely a pity as the production value, the actors and actresses, and the overall idea is really great.

Ah... I'll probably watch this series later, but it's good that I have your recaps first :)

can you please tell me how i can download this song?
