1. I have been quietly watching Someday and am through episode 6 - it's such a lovely, understated gem. I don't care for Kim Min Joon's secondary-guy shrink a bit though - he seems very controlling - in a benign enough way but it rubs me the wrong way.

2. Ep 4 of Next Stop Happiness is out subbed. Oh my GUH. It's every teen fantasy I ever had. My ( Read more... )

After a year of disappointing K-dramas (really only a hand full have been worth watching) I'm so happy to see that the winter season of 2009/2010 is beyond wonderful. I'm loving You're Beautiful - its romance, fluff, and comedy. I'm looking forward to IRIS, though I'm not watching until at least six episodes are subbed - it's so a marathon type show. And, I'm looking forward to Chuno so much. I'm also looking forward to, about five other shows premiering in November, December, and January/February. It's going to be a fun winter break for me.

Hmm, was it Episode 4 of Next Stop, Happiness that you watched? That's the latest one from Sunday night ( ... )

Yup, ep 4 - it was sooooooooo good.

Ep 5 looks totally fantastic. Me being me, much as I am excited by the babymaking, I am even more excited by the scene where she has to watch him in excruciating pain and is falling apart because of it.

I think Muchen's flaw is her passivity - I always dig heroines like Shancai more - she really should yell at her awful stepmom etc (btw, stepmom believed her and left but didn't testify or send the pics or anything? FAIL).

He looks lean and athletic, not as though he spends his time bodybuilding.

Yes. This. I find excessive muscles a turn-off.

This is going up there in my fave romances, for sure.

OMG, I just realised who the male lead in JIN is! He's the guy in Heaven's Coin right? And that cute Japanese movie, Christmas on July 24th Avenue?!

Oh, you know, everytime I see him, the word "dashing" always comes to mind...hahaha...I think he's one the VERY few Japanese actors whom I can classify under "tall, dark and handsome" hahaha

Whenever the scene takes us to Edo-Miki, the colors become artsy, bright colors stand out kind of like when I capped Bakemonogatari.
