Japan and Korea bring on the awesome, yet again

1. Two and a half eps into Hotaru No Hikari and I continue to adore it as much as ever. I adore Hotaru, who is sooooo funny. Here’s a hint, girl. When you, a twenty-something woman, have to get relationship advice from a thirty-something divorced man (whose wife walked out on him!) and he is still better at it than you are, you need an intervention

Is it me, or does Jo Hyun Jae have more than just a passing resemblance to Vic Zhou? I thought it was him until he realised that the guy actually looked healthy as opposed to emaciated!

Ditto the Fujiki Naohito icon...I really want one of him in that white raincoat, with the hood all scrunched up on his face!

btw, you have no idea how much your posts save me complete suicidal boredom at work, at about 4 - 5pm, you start posting, and it helps keep me entertained until I can go home!

I would have never noticed if you didn't point it out, but you are absolutely right. Glad he looks like he eats though.

I just know Jae Hee will end up being ‘the other guy,’ the Lee Junki character in My Girl, the playboy who falls for the heroine and gets his heart broken and I do not approve of broken-hearted Jae Hee on principle.

This will not be RIGHT, I say! I was just contemplating this today - Kdrama association of Korea must change the rules and make "him" get the girl , at least IN ONE DRAMA! OR The creators must have a poll in a middle of every drama and which guy wins more votes should receive the girl.

[dangermousie]

Exactly. Apparently, there has been exactly one kdrama in history where 'other' guy got the gal, so I think our chances are slim. Oh well, he got the girl in DGCH and Witch Yoo-Hee, so that's not too bad.

I keep wondering why certain actors are *always* guy who never gets girl. In Bad Love the Guy Who Never Gets the Girl (or Eyebrows as Calixa calls him) got the girl but then had to give her up. Also, he was kind of a bastard.

[alexandral]

I NOTICED THIS TOO!
Is he the same as the other guy from "Full House"? He needs to get the girl!

And Daniel Henney needs to get the girl too! (I hope I spelled his surname correctly).

To be honest, i am more for a style from "Capital scandal" (or classically, from "Much ado about nothing"):

2guys x 2girls = 2separate couples + some misunderstanding.

THEN YOU GET TWO LOVE STORIES in one drama! And no one is left out!

And well, there could be some very evil guy who never gets the girl. BUT NOT THE NICE LOOKING ONES.

You haven't seen Only You? JHJ was in that and mighty awesome. It's about time he did another drama. I love JH, but if he's the other guy this time I can take it!

[dangermousie]

I've been recommended OY by a number of people. I actually have it, and should probably make it my next kdrama so I'd be prepared to like JHJ :)

lol that the beautiful actress is called "eugene" a name I associate with Asperger's sufferers.

[dangermousie]

Heeeee.

I'd actually peg Jae Hee as the one to get the girl, from the descriptions...

[dangermousie]

Thanks for the link!

I'd normally peg him for the one with the girl, too, only all the drama descriptions describe Eugene and JHJ as the leads, and we all know what that means. Not lead = never getting the girl ever.

Oh well, maybe he'll get an OTP of his own.
