ZOMG, the end of the world is nigh! There are lesbians in K-drama land?! (Albeit, in a Drama Special, thus making it a one episode thing, but it's titled "Daughters of Bilitis Club" of all things, a reference that I think would be obscure to anyone who hasn't looked into lesbian history. XD ( Read more... )

If anyone would like to watch Secret Garden, DramaFever is actually putting up the episodes. My Soju is posting up using Viikii subs. For whatever reason, the Viikii Secret Garden subbing group seems to be releasing soft subs but is not making the episodes available at Viikii itself. Don't ask me. The Written in the Heavens Subbing Squad (WITH S2) ( Read more... )

I am really liking K-Drama The Secret Book/Joseon X-Files. My interest was piqued the moment talk about this show appeared on Dramabeans. X-Files is one of those extremely nostalgic shows for me, looming huge and impressing in my childhood.

My new big project is to retroactively tag all my "SNSD"-tagged entries to be more search friendly. I think. We'll see. I have . . . a lot of freakin' "SNSD" posts. And I'm already hesitating to add this or that tag. *facepalm* (ROFL, I found the post where I started luring JKO to the dark side . . .)

Slapping Fiesta I (AHAHAHAHA, "You still have the mood to drink juice?"), II, and IIII love slapping in Korean dramas for the simple reason that the actors usually really slap each other in some hardcore sense of authenticity. This is especially amusing/commendable because the attempts often result ( Read more... )

Both com-rom kmovie Too Beautiful to Lie (2004) and kdrama My Girl (2005/2006; 16 episodes) feature lying women who lie . . . but have hearts of gold. (AKA, a nicer, sexless version of the whore with a heart of gold.) Are there really con artists who have good intentions in addition to lining their pockets? And how come these leading ladies get to ( Read more... )

I knew there were a lot of lines that I really liked while I was watching Hwang Jin Yi so I thought I would just compile them, only to realize that there were more scenes that I liked than I had anticipated and quite a few that can't be rendered in text. In fact, a lot of these draw their delight from the tone of the exchanges, which I can't ( Read more... )
