If I WAS your sis-in-law, you'd better be shaking. I've had this account since June 2012 (after being locked out of my old one) and it would require a lot of stalking and patience to finally approach you from the middle of nowhere. Are you scared lol.

TBH, I use this site about 4 times a month, but been visiting it a lot lately. Just to check out the exclusives etc.

I'm in my 20's now, so pretty soon I'm gonna become an ajumma to all these boys and girls, lol. It's weird to realise there's kids born in 1997, acting 16. Then I realise they ARE sixteen! lol.

I remember 1997. Which is what made Reply 1997 so great. (omo, how nicely did I link those 2 subjects)....any stand-out 2013 drama for u so far?

Can't believe this drama aired 2 years ago. I remember waiting for each episode at the time with bated breath. How time flies :'(

Hi Mel. Again no hard feelings. I've sent you a friend request, hope you accept.

Your opinions are always valued here and I respect you for voicing them. This is a free forum for all, and glad to have you back with us!

Sorry if you felt like you were being "jumped." It's very easy to get passionate on these forums and I always try to put people straight, if I see them veering off in a tangent. At least something's good come out of this! You're giving this drama a chance, haha.

I will be looking forward to finding out what you think when the drama's out. You have every right to tell me "I told you so" if the drama turns out to be your worst nightmare, I will humbly accept your rants :P

Just because you saw An american intrepretation of "My Sassy Girl" and it was terrible...doesn't mean every subsequent forray into this world will be.

Again, if you had bothered to read about the production, you will have found the writers assuring us there are no sex scenes pencilled in. This drama is being produced by an independent company and aired online, because when they approached the major networks, they were adviced to include more "sex etc etc" and they didn't want that.

And I honestly don't understand the Johnny Depp/Daniel Radcliffe comment. This is a one-off season, with relatively unknown actors. They won't be playing this "for years."

God. I've seen you around this site Mel, and usually agree with everything you say. You might even be right. This drama might be a total dud. But it's a bit presumptious to judge now, don't you think?

I will be there on November 21st, checking out Youtube and lending my support. I've always championed money being spent on original dramas, than remakes but I see there is a market for this and this is breaking new ground.

It will be refreshing to see drama that doesn't shove sex down our throats (Western TV) but doesn't leave me limp in the "physical contact" department either (Majority of Asian TV)...I have been searching for this happy medium since the dawn of time and this might be it.

Wishing you all the best. Include good music. Have fantastic acting. That's all I ask, really.

Don't worry guys, the original/other adaptations will always be there...
I'll give the 1st episode a go, and I'll drop it if it's cringey and keep going, if I'm interested.
Slightly worried they haven't cast Makino...hope it's someone good.
And Domyouji looks like a male model who belongs in a catalogue, but his acting could be totally of the charts, so I'll keep an open mind..

But god, it's really hard. Genuinely hope they don't kill it.

Marvellous! I knew being part of the MDL community had it perks ;)<br />One of your vids was particular of interest. It was a solid 23 seconds of a girl texting/playing on her phone, and then suddenly a pink blur running away and (I think) Park Shin Hye yelling. It was fabulous!<br /><br />Especially since that fangirl didn't even look up! lol.<br /><br />Beautiful summary of events. Hope your success continues today too!

Now I'm getting a hilarious image of you "hypothetically" holding his hand, coaching him thru his 1st kissing scene with another cast member. ("No, darling. Too much saliva!")lol, and your fingernails biting into his palm whenever he's getting TOO enthusiastic.

lol. Imagination sometimes. What a wonderful thing <3

I feel really bad, because Donghae is my fav, but in your SuJu 15 picture...which guy is he?? I know - terrible fan! I blame watching "Skip beat" because I've yet to make the leap to listening to K-POP full time lol.

In response to your message (thanx btw)- I watched the first 11 episodes of SG (which is 55% of the drama) and I wasn't feeling it, so decided to drop it...Binnie was being too archetypal for me, and smothering his girl in too many luxury goods, like that's the only way into her ?...he also kept saying he didn't WANT to like her..to the point, I felt like saying "Dude. STOP saying that. You clearly like her, that's why you keep coming back. What are you trying to prove?"

Also the switcheroo left me a bit disappointed. Are there more in the future? Just watched the one.

Hmmm. You never know. Depending on your response, I might go back and watch the rest...or I might not!

Enough with the remakes. Everytime there is a remotely sucessful drama from the big 3 (J/SK/T), the other two jump on the bandwagon. Imo, remakes are usually a waste of time, though a few are good. Instead of flushing all this money into the toilet, why can't more money and time be invested in original scripts!!!!!

It's true. Better actors will show the "unemotional" guy as a mask. They will have the ability to show worry, sadness, joy, be very expressive with one look, to show the audience what he's REALLY thinking, and then let his face slip into stone. Kim Hyun Joong...does not do that. He can say he really really loves someone, and I wouldn't believe him.

I agree. Imagine all the sizzling couplings we've missed, just because actors have pulled out, or were never considered. *shivers* Too many to count!

Is this the drama that kickstarted the asian TV revolution? Although looking back, it may seem the worst piece of sh*t, I think it gave the foothold for Korea/China/Japan/Taiwan to start branching out to the awesomeness we have today.

I was really hoping for some twin action...like Ren Mei is stuck in a love triangle between the new, nice twin and the mean Long Tai, who used to enjoy ridiculing her when they were younger. Nope...that would require split-screen technology, and double the efforts of Mike He...so instead I just gave up. *shrugs*

I really shouldn't have watched that showbiz korea youtube video...now I'm practically in love with him...waaah O.o

Thank you for this article btw. It lingered in my subconscious until I watched The Man from Nowhere today! You're right. He's literally awesome. However I'm slightly bemused by all this fan worship...because he's in like 4 dramas, and like 4 movies...usually rookie standards...Won Bin is definitely on the cards, but I won't start fanworshipping until I see at least 3 different roles from him :P Not keen on watching the old dramas, though I might give the other movies a go...but act in something soon! Show these idols how it's done! :P

palek, you have no idea how much your comment made me giggle! :D I watched a few episodes last year, but I kinda dropped it, because it was weirding me out all these brothers were hitting on her. And the bald-styles! hmm...might give it another go...might not...

This is very Lee Min Ho heavy.

OK...this may sound bad, but the only actors I might watch dramas for, without knowing anything beforehand is Lee Min Ho...and that's a pretty big but! I just want to point out, just because some megastar is staring in something, doesn't mean the drama will have good writers, directors, supporting cast etc. So I don't watch anything, unless the complete package appeals to me, even yes, if it contains an actor/actress I like! I refuse to waste 16 hours of my life like that.
