I was unbelievably obsessed with Flower Boy Ramyun Shop. Every week, I would actually look forward to Mondays, and for the rest of the week, I would watch the raws, then read the recaps, watch the fansubs, then watch the legal official subs. And on top of that, I would gush like crazy about it with my friends. We even got into a (play) fight over ( Read more... )

I have finally committed to learning Korean. I really enjoyed Chinese, but I suspect that Korean will actually be more useful to my interests. ^^ I've started with the Pimsleur program and I really like it so far. Korean sounds so difficult to me and after listening to my friends who studied it at university complain about it, I was terrified about ( Read more... )

I haven't enjoyed a Korean drama since My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. (Mostly been sticking to British stuff recently.) I'll read the summaries on dramabeans but I'll seldom actually follow it up and watch it. The last drama I tried to watch was City Hunter with Lee Min-ho, but it was slower and less awesome than the actual recap. Also, my favorite ( Read more... )

With My Girlfriend is a Gumiho still developing, and after finishing Shining Inheritance, I watched King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo (which is also known as Baker King, Kim Tak Goo or Bread, Love, and Dreams). KoB had been beating MGiG in the ratings and achieved "national drama" status (40%+ ratings) so I was curious to see what it was ( Read more... )

I couldn't get episodes of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho soon enough last week, so I started up on Shining Inheritance also known as Brilliant Legacy, actor Lee Seung-gi's previous drama. (Lee Seung-gi being the main actor in MGiG.) I had heard that it was good (it hit 40% in the ratings at some point) so I figured I'd take a look at it.

I'm supposed to finish packing for my trip to SoCal tomorrow, but I wanted to take a few minutes to continue squeeing about My Girlfriend is a GumihoHave I mentioned that the two leads are cute? And that they have matching dimples? (I ended up in front of my bathroom mirror looking to see if I had dimples. I think I have just the one, but my face ( Read more... )

I am currently watching My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, the K-drama and I'm really really enjoying it, two episodes in. I'm already suffering withdrawals for episodes 3&4, and I have this sneaking suspicion that it'll figure out a way to make me hate it soon. The Hong sisters' previous drama, You're Beautiful stared pouring haterade on the women: the ( Read more... )

I've recently started watching the K-drama ( You're Beautiful... )

I'm in quite the academic mess so I shouldn't be doing this but I'm listening to this song and I want a vid of Hana Yori Dango Korean version to it:

The fit is too perfect.

I'm really behind on that drama, btw.

East Asia, South Asia. Southeast Asia. (That's right: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, etc. are defined by the fact that they are between India and China/Japan/Korea. Then again, in this world view, Europe is the center of the world.)
