I watched it years ago and have never forgotten it. When I decided to use it instead of getting a stillshot from a drama, I was hoping that would make at least 1 person's day, lol. I linked to the video in the text ;-)

LoveCandy is correct, that is a still I took from Pride and Prejudice. The adorable child is Kim Kang Hoon and his character's name is Chan.

Ah, since Toots mentioned Seaweed Soup (miyeok guk). We see it given to people a lot when it's their birthday. The reason being that it's usually the first meal a woman has after giving birth to nourish her milk for her newborn child. A lot of women eat it during pregnancy, too.

So, to give the soup is to remind you of the nourishment you were provided for you to grow up strong and healthy by your Mother. Well, at least that's the original purpose. I think it's more of a tradition people follow now, like having cake with candles.

I'm happy people are liking it so far. ^_^

By happenstance, yesterday my friend brought over some baechu and chonggak kimchi her mother sent from Korea. My soul was refreshed upon first bite. I ate too much last night and gave myself a tummyache, but I have no regrets. None.

Episode 10 = Huh? I have a vague idea of what happened there.

Goodness, I can seriously relate to this drama. Work culture can be so cumbersome. I've also had to work hard to get a position while someone else who had no background or experience got a position at the same level and pay. So, I can feel both sides. While I've never been awkward and unskilled at my job, I've had some intense work wars with Jacka** co-workers. Oooh, and that sinking feeling when you get in trouble for something you didn't even do. Worst of all... TEAM PROJECTS! This drama is so real-real.

I guess I need to have faith and keep watching since a lot of people seem to be at the latest episode and feel the show is good. I just finished episode 5 and the female lead as a character just really doesn't make sense to me. Her attitude, strong assumptions, and insubordination just baffle me. I think all the other characters are good, also having Choi Jin Hyuk and Lee Tae Hwan on screen together is glorious, so I haven't given up yet. But so far, the two Choi brothers are the ones mainly keep this show afloat so far. Either Baek Jin Hee is not conveying her character well, or the character itself was just developed poorly.Hope it's the former of the two.

I was mistaking her for Gong Hyo Jin until I looked closely, lol.

Ah, I take it back. It's subbed in Chinese. :-/

Good lord, No Min Woo with his ethereal self.

Now, I offered to do this the last time this came up. Someone messaged with me a bit and then I never heard from them again. I'd no longer be able to write articles, but I definitely could do editing. Just wouldn't want to get prepared to make time for it again and there be no follow-through.

Choi Jin Hyuk looks like he's 22 here! The older that man gets, the younger he looks. He looked like he was in his mid 30's in "Pasta." Then early 30's in "Gu Family Book." From "I Need Romance 1" on, he just keeps looking younger. (side note: this just made me realize I've seen most of his dramas. Fan girl epiphany.)

The whole purpose of the review is for people who haven't watched it ye. And they say so many times on the sidebar to not give spoilers. I will never understand people's insatiable appetite for telling everything. Especially, when you know it's for people who haven't seen it.

I guess that's what you do to try to get away with saying racially offensive things. Your "joke" is neither funny, nor appropriate. You could be white yourself and it's still not cool.

How about you keep racist comments off of this great website.

I know, right?!?! Who are they gonna get to match his pretty boy swag? No one, that's who. LoL

When I rewatched "Spirited Away" I understood so many things I didn't even know I didn't get with the dubs. I didn't think "Return of the Cat" would better in Japanese, but it was. I highly recommend give the subs a try. :-)

"Remake" is definitely the operative term because it will need to be totally redone. Think Hayazaki films with English dubs. So much of the story is lost in translation in order to accommodate American culture. I learned this when I rewatched them with subtitles. "Love From Another Star" is a story that has so much to do with the culture in S. Korea. Her Mother's position in her career even though she's an adult. The pressure for her to get married within a short time of dating a guy. Him not eating with others because it is very commonplace to eat as group from the same dishes there for most meals. Her pressure for them to live together so soon. The way she's bullied on the set because of the hierarchy of actors there. Don't even get me started on the historical part. I could go on and on. None of that translates to American culture. I wasn't even a big fan of the show, so I'm quite unbiased. But so many people, many of my friends included, are too lazy to deal with subtitles. So, a white-washed version is what people will get. My vote is for hot mess.

I watched earlier tonight while in Japan when it came on NHK. I desperately wanted siubs, lol. It looks good.

So, you're basically saying that if she hit him first, he is well within in his rights to beat her to the point of having to recover over a two week period?? Cause... that's what it looks like you are saying. And you don't necessarily have the right to "hit back", you have the right to defend yourself as needed. I know martial arts, and people who I know I could have easily beat up have attempted to accost me. Just because I can beat them up, doesn't mean I should. And I didn't because all I needed to was to get them to stop. Anything further is out of anger and/or retaliation. Regardless of whether they initiated the attack or not. That is called excessive force. I can agree that women shouldn't get a free pass on hitting men, but in no way does it justify her being beaten up and having bones broken. We can already see, that he was much stronger than she was. Her hitting him is not the same as him hitting her. If the situation was her initiating the physical altercation, which I doubt, he could have subdued her. But no, he beat her because he can.
