'ello! ^.^ Thanks for adding me! I just read through your profile and it's awesome! <3 I agree with so much that you said about leads, second male leads, and especially kissing scenes!! (Nothing more disappointing than waiting for kiss all drama long only to see them stand stiff and just mush their faces together. It always reminds me of those Precious Moments dolls, but less cute.) Anyways! I'm a babbler, be forewarned! :P I guess I'm hopping on the Buzzer Beat train with you and allyson this weekend! :D Thank you for inviting me! It's a blast to meet fellow drama lovers and share the addiction! ^.^

funny how now I'm comparing RP with SI instead of QIHM. (Yay for acronyms! XD) Haha I'll have to try and stop that. But it's almost the same show inside a time travel drama!! And no, there aren't that many people that would take all that, but I think that's a good thing. There has to be a line, if you want to respect yourself.
And I'm excited to watch more dramas with you guys! Hopefully we'll be able to watch one together that turns out really good, since Innocent Man and Level 7 turned out the way they did. haha

The over the top physical/insane humor in some jdramas does make one nervous. I'm not a huge fan of slapstick humor either, so it's always a win/lose situation. Either it's done well, or it's just ridiculous and makes the drama look silly. Lets hope Buzzer Beat has intelligent humor. ^.^ I really don't like bathroom humor, which quite a few Kdramas seem to think is just hilarious, so that took me a while to get over too.
Wow..the evolving drama in RP is REALLY resembling Shinning Inheritance. Like..a lot. And it's the same grandma too!! I wonder if she felt like she was acting the same exact role? It's actually really annoying me right now. The rest of the show is awesome, but the evil-ness of the sister is really cliche and I've seen it before. She might get even crazier than normal villains, but I'm feeling the same kind of hatred and frustration I did towards the villains in SI. It's

but I know that ache and foreknowledge that separation is inevitable will be the same. That's what I'm avoiding. XD Because they never let you forget it, not even for a little while.
And I completely agree about the Sageuk F4 being way better! For me, there's not even a comparison. Give me the Sageuk boys any day of the week! :P
And I'll be ready for Prosecutor Princess whenever you are!. ^.^ I haven't seen Buzzer Beat, but everyone raves about it, and it was on my PTW list for after I got done with Faith and RP. Since I'm going out of order, if I finish RP soon enough, maybe I'll join you guys! I like some Jdramas, and I think it'll be a fun one. Just keep your mind open and expect differences in style. That's a given though. XD
And it's such a shame Level 7 turned out this way!! I was so excited too! Maybe the ending will make up for some of it??

He really does! And he's just so gosh darn adorable in RP that it's stealing my heart! It took a while to get used to the way he talks in RP, but I think watching it after SS really helped make the transition seem less extreme. Omo, I almost keeled over when he was dancing as the panda!! And I haven't seen Playful Kiss really, and adamantly refuse to (XD), so I don't know him as anyone else but evil and lacking any chance of redemption. I really want Park Ha to stand up to Se Na, but I get the feeling it's going to be one of those Shinning Inheritance scenarios, where she keeps her mouth shut even when she's being played by the devil, for no apparent reason besides stupidity and naivety. That's harsh to say, but it's frustrating. I'm still enjoying it, and I'll do my best to follow your advice and not compare the two. They broadcast such a different feel that I don't think It'll be hard

Haha I think I've read that manga about 3 times now, it really is awesome! <3 And I think we should all have our own personal JaeShin! It's not fair. :P
Let me know what you think of SS when you finish it and OHSC too! :D

And I would love to watch Prosecutor Princess with you guys! :D I heard the first few episodes are really hard to get through though. But after that, the plot picks up and gets good. ^.^ Just let me know when you are all starting it. :D And what episode of level 7 are you on? I'm on 13 now. I think I'll watch Lever 7 a little more and avoid Rooftop Prince until I've stabilized my fear of it. XD

sociopath. So not only will there be the whole "We can never really be together forever because I live 300 years in the past" thing, there's also going to be the evil sister is out to take everything from you and watch you rot in misery thing. And Yoochun is going to be on the sister's side too, probably without knowing anything. Ugh, idk if my heart can take it!! *cough* >.>;
But getting back to happy, SS rocked my socks. I'm so happy it was the first historical drama I've seen! I almost want to re-watch it. And I really like Chosun too! For the same reason! She was smart and realistic. And I never expected the twist about her either! That was awesome. <3 I think I would have liked to see the quartet together, working on various puzzles/mysteries for just a few episodes more. There was so much drama going down by the time they really stuck together that it felt too short. XD I miss them

I've kind of put Level 7 on the back burner, but I'l still watching it slowly, because like you, I need to see how it ends. I don't think I've ever dropped a drama this far in besides Mary Stayed Out All Night. And It has too many redeeming factors to drop anyways.
But SS was freaking AWESOME! <3 You've now introduced/recommended two dramas that I've come to absolutely adore! Coincidentally, they both star YooChun. haha And..*Le gasp* I've cracked and started Rooftop Prince! I'm hoping I'll like it as much, and so far I'm loving it, but I'm scared!! It's not nearly as powerful of an ache as I got during QIHM...but I just know the ending is going to leave me broken even if it's semi happy. Even during the happy ending in QIHM, I cried and still felt half empty. Idk if I should just stop now, at episode 5, and avoid the angst I know is coming. Not so mention the sister is just a

Haha Well, if you want any recommendations or have any for me, just send an e-mail and we can chat! :D

I really really want to see Nine too, but I am far too impatient to watch dramas that aren't completed, because I marathon and I can't handle the wait. XD
I've been looking through your list, and it seems we've watched most of the same dramas, at least most of the ones I would highly recommend. I think the only ones I found missing were, "The Greatest Love", which is an awesome drama! Hilarious and romantic with a good plot. Other than that one, I don't see any I ranked high enough to say it's a must see. XD I guess we'll have to find new dramas to recommend. :P

Ah, time zones. It 11 at night here. ^.^ Sorry you have to go to school. XD I actually haven't seen Shut Up Flower Boy Band yet, but it's supposed to be awesome. I hope you get the subs soon!

'ello! Omo, I'm loving Sungkyunkwan Scandal so much right now!! I'm on episode 18, almost done (T.T) and it's sooo good!! Have you ever seen/read Ouran High School Host Club? Yong Ha's adorableness but deviousness, mixed with his good heart and his main love for JaeShin really reminds me of the Twins in OHSHC! haha I love him to death! Not to mention JaeShin is such a bada@@ character, but so good at the core, that he's stolen my heart and I think he's one of the first second male leads I legitimately wanted to get the girl. But I also was rooting for SunJoon, because he's utterly adorable and also such an amazing man. UGH! I don't want it to end!! What episode are you on? Have you finished yet??

Heh, Thank you! It's still a work in progress. :P Are you watching any dramas right now?

Hiya! Thanks for the add! :D I love seeing Queen In-Hyun's Man on your favorites. <3

be fine skipping the revenge scenes, and I am right there with you. It's more of a "meh" feeling during Level 7. There are good parts, but it's not nearly as good as I wanted it to be. It actually is kind of disappointing me.
I don't really mind the king, but I don't love him either. He's just..there. His character does seem a bit forced, like it doesn't quite blend in with the rest. If that makes sense. And yes, I loved the squabble about the sleeping positions! SunJoon and Jaeshin having a butt pushing war was absolutely AWESOME! <3 haha
I haven't seen Prosecutor Princess yet! I've been wanting to, but I actually kept forgetting about it. >.>;

OMO! I never once noticed that!! O.O I'll have to pay more attention to her! You're right, they're such different roles that it would have never even crossed my mind! Two actors from SS went on to be in Level 7! Heh Or is it three? The mom from SS is the mom from Level 7 too isn't she? o.o Hmmm
And it'll all blow over eventually, once everyone cools down and starts to think straight. I already put up with the friends/BF deputes the first year of dating, so it's just more frustrating since it's been this long. But people will fight and relationships are messy. 'tis a part of life. And I love that we have a lot in common like that. haha
And I know I'm going to watch Nail Shop Paris too! It's a set up I love/hate. Because it's been done so many times, I hate it, but come on...reverse harem and cross-dressing? I'm there. XD Hopefully they'll bring new light to it.
And I can safely say you'd

she likes by herself. I don't think I've really ever seen that. It's always some scenario makes it known and she escapes the uncomfortable situation. I think it would have been an awesome and hilarious scene. Also, does the main president have any other face?? Besides crazy looking and insanely mad over things that have nothing to do with him? It was like at the beginning he was just out looking for things he could say were against him personally, just to do his crazy eyes. XD I think I've gotten so fed up with him that I just ignore his shenanigans now. heh But I'm super excited for the next few episodes. All hell's going to break lose because of the king's request,SunJoon's going to have to face his father, and now the main pair has actually kissed! :D
Now that I've ranted so much, how are you? What episode are you on? Thanks for listening/reading my babble!! <3

are not adults. *sigh* I feel better after ranting all that out, I'm sorry you became a bouncing board for this ridiculous situation.
HOWEVER, I'm completely and utterly in love with SS!!! Omo, it's so good!! I still love all of the main 4 so much! Even though YongHa can be so devious, to the point where I want to smack him, he's got a good heart there and he's just too darn adorable. And JaeShin still has my heart, but I'm on episode 17 and it's pretty much a given he's lost all hope with YoonHee. He's a second male lead I actually rooted for, but SunJoon is so adorable and like a fish out of water with the real world, that I wanted him to win too. It's such a fun ride!Except that whole, He finds out she's a girl because she conveniently fell into water thing. I think it would be really nice to actually see the conversation where the cross-dressing girl has to come clean to the guy

drama's fault or my lack of patience. The BF and room-mate are still snipping at each other, and it got to the point where I felt like I had to take sides, which is the WORST possible thing to do. On one, she's been my friend for almost 20 years and I live with her, and on the other, he's been my BF for 6 years and I'll eventually live with him. So I sat them both down and said they needed to grow the hell up, because I'm not choosing sides when they were and are both wrong. I'm not a kindergarten teacher and if they cared for my damn opinion, they would have talked it out and accepted each others apologies in the beginning. But if the BF doesn't stop, I can't get mad at my friend for telling him to leave the apartment, because this is her home. She should be able to feel comfortable and that's her right. So now the BF is in a tissy because of that and I'm fed up with feeling like we
