Nice to meet you too :)

Woot woot!! That's exciting. Yup. We're getting there w/ the end of November. I cannot wait. Big things are coming my way in the upcoming year :)

No drama watching for me yet. How about you? Any new genres that you've attempted the last few months? Any of the currently aired dramas worth watching? I agree with your statement. "Don't add me if you intend to be a statistic." This has esp. been happening to me over the last few months w/ all of the friends requests that appear in my e-mails. Btw, how's your film coming along? I forgot to ask you this in the beginning.

Hey :) Long time no chat, noona. It seems that you've tweaked up your profile lately. Enjoying the additions esp. the Cheating Husband's part. So true. We all definitely don't need a reminder. Anyways, how's life taking you? Anything significant happening in the past few months? For me, school is well underway to finishing for the month of December. Love Life? Getting over a close guy friend that I've been friendzoned for over a year. Gave up asking him out when he keeps changing topics on me, avoid answering the question, and claims to be 'uber' busy. Accomplishments? I made an amazing Halloween costume from the anime Nana, Nana Osaki as a matter of fact. I went all out for the costume. It will be worn next year for anime con. Got another certification to add to my resume. Became club service director of my college's club. I'm taking a very active role in the community now.

I'm 'another one' who has read your review on "The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry". Intriguing points you have there. I actually enjoyed The Woman who wants to Marry. It's relatable for those who are in their 20's and 30's. For some particular reason, Korea and Japan seems to take these single woman into account that there's something wrong with them, and the pressures and struggles that are faced when dealing with family and older generations parents. It's quite evident and understandable that older generations parents want to have grandchildren and etc.

I really enjoyed on how you made these significant points in the review on how these noonas are being portrayed and the shit that they go through. I'm definitely not over 30 and nowhere near 30. Mid-20's to be exact.
When I first watched this drama, I watched solely for entertainment but not realized the ill-treatment of these woman.

Randomly, I viewed your profile today, thanks to the feed with Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin's bromance pic. Your daily diary segments lured me in. It's amazing how your life seems like a top hit Korean drama, that I can imagine. I can relate as well. Currently, I am in love with a guy for over a year but he quickly lost interest in me and barely messages or hangs out w/ me anymore. I asked him out several times however he's amazing at changing topics swiftly. I'm on the verge of fully giving up with him and moving on. I keep telling myself it's not worth chasing someone when one tries to avoid going on a date. I got FRIENDZONED. Pretty much. I understand it seems like you put a lot of effort in with this wonderful man for the past year and things turned out sour. You are very lucky to meet a hot Japanese guy. You deserve it! One day, he will hint in and notice how really awesome you are.

Lol. I meant Summer Snow. Wow. The actors tend to look similar to me. My bad. Summer Snow was one of my first dramas that lured me to watching Asian dramas/movies in the first place. I agree Japan is known for their originality. I tend to like how they use serious topics along with meaningful life lessons like LIFE, GTO, Gokusen, Nobuta wo Produce, etc. For some reason, Taiwanese and Korean dramas cannot pull it off.

Huh....Fascinating. When you mention 'meaningful', how so? Personally, I find anything older than 1990's hard to watch, maybe it's because of the picture, the lack of technology, fashion, music, etc. However, I never tried it and have been reluctant to attempt watching anywhere from 1920's-1990's. Is it possible to recommend some titles to watch? I won't be watching them now, but when I go on holidays, I will have plenty of opportunity to do so.

Hi :) no worries. Same here. I cannot wait for the semester to be over with and start watching more dramas/movies. Also being more involved with the MDL community.

When I commence watching dramas during the holidays, I'm sure Running Man will be one of them. Thanks for explaining your favourite ones to me. It sorta is like celebs in real life and how they interact with each other outside of their tv sets or MVs or concerts. Am I right? Or sorta correct?

I have such a long list of dramas and movies to watch. You'll be surprised. I haven't added anything to PTW list but once school's finished, I'll be adding them like crazy. lol. I'll check out your blog later ^^

Hi. Thanks for the add :) I've noticed that your main asian movies/tv series focus is Japanese. Why is your favourites mostly Japanese other than Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese, etc.? I'm a fan of Domoto Tsuyoshi from Nobuta wo Produce. He's a great actor.

Hi :) Thanks for adding me. I just notice you're from Poland. Btw, I'm Polish too..More like I'm Polish/Russian who's currently living in Canada.I'm glad to find another person who is lazy and procrastinates as well. Lol. I am the same but when I go to school, I cannot afford to procrastinate. Other than that, I do it all the time. Wow. You like Japanese classics? Why are I interested in older Japanese films?

I just uploaded the Jdrama Akuryo Byoutou trailer and Queen of SOP trailer. Both worked :) Send me any more links if you have any available. I'll upload them as I go.

Marry Him if You Dare's rating is starting to drop significantly. I haven't watched it at all lately. The type of genre you've stated sounds interesting. Examples of any?

I'm looking forward to returning to MDL to see any of 2013 shows and their ratings. I may be surprised for the outcome like Gu Family Book, You're the best, Lee Soon Shin, Heirs, etc.

Yes, yes. That is life. I hope it settles down with you in the near future :)

Hey. I'm doing great. How about you? No worries. I am on/off MDL the past few months due to school and its hectic schedule. Oh wow, long break then :) Hahaha. Thanks. What drama/movie have you been watching lately?

I thought A Gentleman's Dignity was a hilarious gem in my books. Though, I did not finish the entire series due to my break from watching dramas. It was very well-received. At times, I was in tears laughing throughout the episode. By far, the funniest drama I've ever seen.

Thank you! Cannot wait until January arrives!

Never tried variety shows. Can you recommend me any?

Probably, I'll pick up the TragedyJuly in January to finish it up. For now, I'm just finishing my final semester for the accounting program. Then, a 8 month break. woot woot :)

The trailers should be up today as I just uploaded them into the system. The Queen of SOP may need english subtitles. It's not accepting the video for some reason.

Yes, I was thinking of rebuilding homes in Fiji. It is a plan for another year as I have Haiti on my mind which I'll be leaving to in February.

Currently, I am involved in two clubs at my college now. One is a community service based club and the other is the accounting association. I am heavily involved in the community service club as I have a director position (involves lots of planning, organizing, etc.).

I am still in my last semester of my program. I don't start the 8 month break until January.

I agree with your final statement. It's better to have a job to advance forward than struggling to handle monthly payments.
