Someone over on soompi pointed out that Tae Kyung is answering her question in episode 7 when he tells her he likes her. Minnam doesn't bother me that much - the ISWK2 heroine bothered me much more - I think TK likes being the big man looking after her. He probably needs to be needed, after the way his mother treated him.

I agree, TK does need to be needed and wanted and he wants someone with no games. I guess I watched too much YAB at once - Minam is a small-dose-only character for me.

I just watched episodes 9-10 of You're Beautiful since the WithS2 subs came out this evening, but I've thoroughly spoiled myself for future eps as well. This is my drama of the moment, since I'm in the mood for light fluff, but I'm saving IRIS for later.

I don't really have any problem with Mi Nam. Sure, she's really dim, but it fits this drama. And her pure and simple personality gets through Tae-Kyung's barriers. It's also evident that he needs someone to protect and to take care of, but hasn't even realized it himself before meeting Mi Nam.

And I just want to stab his mother in the face with a whole settings worth of rusty forks. Ugh! She's horrible!

I saw the first episode of Tokyo Dogs and wasn't that interested in seeing any more of the drama. So nay from me.

That mother is horrific? Ugh, who can be that way to their child.

I will tell you this now - NEVER watch Princess Lulu. It starts off alright, but descends into a train wreak quickly. You know a drama is bad when the actors actually say they didn't understand it or their characters.

You know, I adore You're Beautiful, but I agree that MN is really naive. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that she is: clumsy, was raised by nuns and never really left the orphanage/church until now, and knows next to nothing about romantic love, which is why she is so dim when it comes to the guys. She's simple, but it works for her character.

Oh, IRIS is one I am waiting to watch. I want to wait until my winter break though, as I want to watch it with out having to worry about tests and finals. (JIN is also on that list as is TOKYO Dogs - I hear it is a good show, but nothing life changing. A typical Japanese comedy-drama about cops and a mystery)

Yeah, I want something simple and jdramaish, so once I finish Love Shuffle, I am watching Tokyo Dogs.

I've heard about Lulu's trainwreckiness - I wonder why that happened.

That's all.

Tokyo Dogs wants to be a fun detective drama - till now with a hint of tragic, since the main girl has amnesia and is most likely a member of the organization Shun's and Mizushima Hiro's character go against.
To tell the truth, what I didn't like was how Shun talked english - in that way it would have been better if they make Hiro the FBI agent; and the other thing that bothers me is Hiro's character is way to hyper. Shun is the reserved and cool agent, while Hiro plays the hotheaded detective from Japan. Somehow I have the feeling that it should be reversed, but that may be just me.

That is bizarre that they didn't pick Hiro to be the English-speaking one.

btw, hate to be a pest, but what was the name of that office jdrama you recommended - I can't seem to find the post.

Yeah, bizarre is the right word. I still don't get the idea. Shun is so bad with english!!! >___<

No problem! I can promote that drama day and night XD. The title is Haken no Hinkaku.
