Edited comment:

Thanks for the gorgeous SYJ pirate pics and for writing "not-boyfriend Kim Nam Gil"! :)

Strawberry on the Shortcake isn't the best title and you watched that. What next, Icing on the Cupcake? To be fair, all of these things are a turn-on. Strawberries, yum. I can only agree with you, Rich Man Poor Woman is an uninspired title. Just switch off your over-active mind and look at the adorable couple again for encouragement.

It does. I feel complete with the return of the heroic waiter to my avi. Yes, he completes me! /bromance

You've created a happy place here, full of romance, little heroes, butterflies, golden teacups, cuteness and cheese. I still miss doctor's son, though :D

Btw, congrats on writing your second review. Lumi, the time has come for you to watch a proper rom-com > Rich Man, Poor Woman! ;)

Hey cuzie, we have the same favourite new couple ^_^

Pretty epic after 5 episodes. This drama is threatening to have everything. I love Sujini <3 I read The Drama Behind Dramas Part 3. How did Bae Yong Joon manage to survive in one piece, it's a miracle.

My word, he looks terrible (compared to before) I never thought this day would arrive - I'm hotter than Keanu Reeves, the 2013 version! Please don't ruin this for me by saying he's almost fifty, thanks. And I'm sure he'll start exercising again soon, never lose hope :)

I'm out of touch with Hollywood thanks to Asian dramaland. For example, I just found out Sandra Bullock won an Oscar in 2010 for The Blind Side!*shockface* The extended trailer for Gravity was good. I'm guessing you enjoyed it? Did you want to marry George Clooney when you were a teenager? Was that a silly question... :D

Stumbled upon the trailer for Spike Lee's Oldboy remake:

I'm tempted to watch it!! Could be the flu talking :O

I can confirm it's the flu, nothing deadly I hope. You're such a sweetheart Lumi! I almost feel guilty for scolding you :D You were underwhelmed as the jigsaw came together for the mind-blowing ending? My sister had the same "is that it?" reaction, and she's much smarter than me. She kept saying "well, this is weird!" throughout the movie lol. You're not alone :)

MARS - It's different to anything you've seen, guaranteed. The characters feel real. The lead couple are cute, we see how love between two people can heal and overcome anything > family issues, mental illness, psychopaths, sexual assault, suicide (it's not a melodrama...) Fun, fun, fun! Very satisfying if you reach the end, and somehow this drama wasn't too depressing! Give it a chance, you'll love Ling (Vic Zhou). And the music is nice, ignoring the stock 80's horror music they use in every sinister scene...

Could you marry a disfigured Keanu Reeves? My former workmate looked 10% like him, on a good day:P Sandra Bullock - It was just her lifeless performance in The Lake House. In my teenage years I would have married her in a heartbeat ^_^ My favourite Sandra Bullock movies: 28 Days, Speed, The Net and The Proposal.

The iPod is an excellent idea. How romantic it'll be to share headphones with the love of my life. There's no way I'm dying! We need to keep the iPod's battery charged forever! *sigh* I'm feeling brain-dead thanks to the flu.... Hmmm, you may have to ship SYJ to my house before the final battle :D

You'll forget about Mr. Reeves as soon as Il Mare begins ;) Your honest opinion is always welcome.

I hope you're beginning to feel better :)

Betrayal! How could you sneakily mark Fish Story down to a 6? Utterly preposterous.

Champion is writing this from his deathbed. I have the flu, or a common cold... Not sure which :(

Sorry to hear you're unwell arashi.

Keanu Reeves' acting seems to polarize opinion. I happen to think he's a great actor. An old workmate once said, with immense pride, how he was often mistaken for Keanu Reeves, at which point I spat coffee in his face... Awkward moment.

I thought The Lake House was mostly bad because of Sandra Botox. Sis' pointed out that Sandra wasn't making any facial expressions. How could her face not be moving, she's supposed to be an actress! Anyway, I'll try not to be too judgemental if you find Il Mare inferior. I've encountered many people who prefer The Lake House. Too many T_T

Thanks for being supportive of my guilty pleasure! The final appearance? Are you saying I have to die as a Champion to be remembered? Can't I just die in the loving arms of Son Ye Jin, listening to the Personal Taste OST, is that too much to ask?

Get plenty of rest now :)

Park Shin Hye just made a brief appearance in My GF is a Gumiho ep.6:

Nothing fishy happened :P

Why am I hiding? Licking my wounds, recovering from old fights. We can affect the world through computers, a hero doesn't have to go outside! Admittedly it's a PR disaster for a Champion to be living underground watching... rom-coms.

Keanu Reeves soulful performance and my sister's witty commentary are the only reasons I survived The Lake House. Il Mare is superior in every way *wink*

I've been in a grumpy mood for days, I'll keep this comment short to protect you! *hugs arashi* Chilling Romance is amazing, just don't expect anything remotely frightening. I'll wait for your final verdict on Don Quixote.

I think the contrast of warm, panicky surgeon friend with the withdrawn, cold, sombre personality of male lead made for the perfect bromance lol. That being said, CC and IHYV win for characters, there are more to care about. The writers succeeded in making a kickass time travel story full of :O face events, an easy 9 for me.

I agree with you about the romance... *sigh*

"When the girl was his niece, it seemed perfectly acceptable. That's wrong"
Loved that twist (in a "nooooo" kind of way), until I realised the same as you, they're waaaay too convincing as niece and uncle!! *vomits* It's as if the writers were teasing/threatening(!!) the male and female leads for their failure to portray a convincing adult couple.

Thanks :), I think... >_> My dream doesn't involve Son Ye Jin being my half-sister. That's now officially the scariest thought of the month! Lumiere strikes again.

My story does lack a few crucial details:D

4 episodes of Nine left, are you excited? Can Nine challenge I Hear Your Voice and Cruel City for Lumi's drama of 2013... (EDIT: Just checked your list, you enjoyed Flower Boy Next Door as well. I didn't deliberately exclude that)

Don't be afraid to be brutal with your rating of Afro Tanaka, I'm sensing a 5 or below. I'll prepare a burial for his afro. I gave it a very generous 8 purely for Matsuda Shota's serious-faced awkwardness and the story of friendship, but I won't be re-watching. His afro lives on in my heart! How are you finding Don Quixote, is the sense of humour there your cup of tea?

Altered my profile since your comment, there's a tragic story about my life now :D The gifs at the bottom are from the classic romantic movie, Il Mare. The other gifs are Chilling Romance and Zhang Yimou's Hero :)

Thanks for your kind words on my playing. TGWLTT is one of my favourite anime movies too, I've watched it over, hmmm, 5 times now^_^ Zero talent at piano? That's incredibly defeatist. I'm the same with singing (although I haven't passed any exams) My monotone singing voice cannot be controlled, perhaps I need lessons? ;) Opera singing, now that's much more exciting than sitting in front of a computer all day. Chopin loved opera singers. I vaguely remember learning that from a documentary years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rOOLm3n6GY

My roller skates are on. Feeling apprehensive, I think sneaking into the neighbours house to do the cleaning is going to be too much of an adrenaline rush! LOL

Don't worry, your sweet romantic ending for 3-Iron works. He's alive :)

*hugs* You do realize that boys PANIC when girls cry, and this was my fault.... T_T

*throws laptop out of window*

You must have been like "what the.. huh?!" when Im Jong Soo said to SYJ: "Oh my God. I'm sitting next to a miracle" !! Meanwhile, fanboys (and girls) were crying with joy, and I was one of them. I can imagine you jumping with glee and screaming whenever LMH is on-screen, before Heirs happened... :(

I wasn't expecting her to make an appearance in Secret Garden, that was the shocking part :)

SYJ approved of every man's Yoon Seul fantasy with her Secret Garden finale cameo. And yes, I got the shock of my life:
