Actually Hollywood has gotten better and is now incorporating the right culture that pertains to the actors. I have seen more than a few (fairly new) movies in which the actors play a Korean if they are Korean or Japanese if they are Japanese.
Not saying there won't be a stereotype, but really... Korea casts Australians and make them play Americans. Everyone does it.

In the end, it all is relative when it comes to what kind of life style is best for this person or that other person. It relates to many things in each person's life.
The important thing is to do what you feel happy doing, even if that "thing" you are doing is nothing compared to what you dreamt of doing in the first place.

Right now I'm a mechanic for the US Postal Service. I fix their shit, okay, no biggie. But I enjoy my job and find pleasure in doing the little things. That is what matters. ;)

The same happened with my other choice: criminal psychology. I wanted to go for that. Be a profiler in the end. Heck I love that shit... but! I didn't think I could handle all that studying and whatnot... truth is I was underestimating myself.
So I went for what I knew I could do with my eyes close: computer animation. But that too was a problem later on, because it requires me to have the kind of schedule I couldn't have due to my work hours. And I'm too obedient to tell other people "shut up and I'm doing whatever the hell I want." So I had to keep my job because others told me I was crazy to quit it for school... I was 26 or 27 at the time. I needed a career I could handle with a full time job. One of my friends suggested I go for Drawing as my bachelors, and that is where I'm standing right now. I do have to start my bachelors though... I haven't. One thing stopping me right now is where to do it and how I'm gonna go about it, because at the age of 32 (soon chingu soon) my most important thing; my biggest dream in the whole world; my deepest desire, is to be a mother. I would STOP being ANYTHING if it meant I could be a mother right now.

So... if you aren't ready to quit your job for nothing else at the moment, it meas you aren't ready to be a mother yet. The time will come, and when it does, if you have to quit your job you will. But perhaps you don't have to quit your job... plenty of people do it all the time. You will too! I'm sure. ^^

It is funny that the phrase "life is short" became some sort of contradiction after this guy from The Office said "Life is short, but is the longest thing you will ever do" because it is true when you think about it, still... life is short not just because years go by and you don't know what bit you; life is short not just because you can die at any moment and you haven't even started to do ANYTHING; but life is short because the moments when you ARE doing something about your life are the only moments that you can remember as to having lived at all... when you do the minimum, life is too short.

Initially I wanted to be a forensic doctor. I really like doing all sorts of jobs that can be gross. I also like discovering amazing things, it makes me feel amazing. Isn't that amazing? LOL. And the real deal is that I can handle blood and horrific stuff very well, but I didn't think I had the ability to study all that much material.

And you do just that!! I think you are doing great by sticking to what you like if its something you can do without harming your lifestyle. But for me, it all started when I didn't even know what I wanted to do with my life at 20 and didn't care for school as I should have. I think if I would have been more responsible during my early years of college I might have been doing something related to drawing at this point, perhaps not (because there is too much competition and its hard to get a good job doing drawings) but Im sure I would have ended up doing something related to drawing somehow. However, I didn't pay attention to school, and I didn't care much then, I was enjoying myself as a 20 year old girl with the freedom to do whatever the hell I wanted.

I think my whole life I have been very naive of the world in the sense that I was always thinking "there is time" and "there is time" became my nightmare. I was naive to think I could do so many things any minute, that I procrastinated doing them so that I could have fun and do what I wanted to do at that moment (I still do this... oh shit) The results weren't good, of course not.

If I had to give a conference to kids in high school it would be to never think they have time on their side, because no one really does.

Well I do want kids, and we have already planned out the whole thing. By 2015 I should be having my first kid if all goes according to plans, and it never does LOL. But definitely we have talked about it because we don't want to start having kids after 35, we want to have them now. I just know it would be something like this, me not getting sleep somehow.
I have given up on so many career choices its not even worth mentioning, but one thing I do plan on doing is freelance work. Artist cannot live off their art anyway, not until they become popular. Hahaha.

Yes true. And well, I guess I was mistaken your explanations then. Sorry.
Right now I'm feeling kinda depress because I want to go to bed and I can't. I have to cook for tomorrow for work. Can't do it in the morning because I have to go visit my dad at my aunt's. He is living Saturday and this is the last week so I feel the need to see him every day until Saturday.
I don't like having to do things I don't want to do. -_-
I need kids asap so that I start feeling the real DEAL LMBO.

I answered your post. I know you want to end this discussion, but my chingu you keep saying and explaining things I know because I never said them. You said you read me right, but still... you go on to explain what a psychopath is and that TJ isn't. I never said he was. Anyway, I have cleared out my points, in the shortest answers possible, and I also tell the "story" I had saved for this occasion. Something I need to let you in on Castro will have to be for either here or message because we cannot discuss that kind of stuff in the thread. LOL.

This was my last comment to the discussion though... I hope you read it even if you don't answer it. :)

My Kimmy comment was totally random. It had nothing to do with what I was discussing previous to it. LOL. Sorry if I confused you.
Im just watching Ando Lloyd which is the new Kimura Takuya (Kimmy in my eyes) drama. I have found my new obsession, I love it. Read the synopsis, its on my updates because Im currently watching it and no other ones, although I have tons on my currently watching which I have started LOL.

<--- obsessed about the new Kimmy (Kimura) drama from episode one. ;)

So what did you end up doing? Oh and Im watching the new Kimura drama and I just got hooked from episode one. ^^

My Chingu... missing you already :)

I forgot to answer you that I do love happy endings. I don't like it when my favorite character dies or when the main lead dies which is not often the same thing lol.
But one thing is liking happy endings and another thing is - and the one I was referring to - to want every story to end happily ever after. I don't think that ending fits all stories. Moreover, I think a sad ending could be a happy one as well if the characters were able to find closure to their sufferings. I'm all about that. Let's end this with what the character NEEDS the most vs let's end this with a happily ever after ending because I want to imagine that there could be a fantasy land somewhere.

In the case of Empire, I don't see it as a happy ending for neither of the characters. They all realized their mistakes but it was too late.

I have another drama which I can make an example of the kind of "happy ending...sorta" that I was talking about, which gives some relief to the characters while still not being a true happy ending, but really sad. I know I'm contradicting things here, but is the only way I can explaining. However this drama I will not mention it because you have not watch it.

BTW I went to your list once more and saw you gave Lie To Me an 8 or was it a 9? Tell, PLEASE, what is it you saw good in that drama??? LOL. I'm just curious, not trying to judge your rating. :p

Hahaha this article is cute and made me laugh. Thanks.

King of Dramas taught me that we need to give writers and actors a break sometimes because what they have to endure is not that great. Also the same can be said to the team behind the camera, they have to endure so much from bratty actors its a joke... but all in all, what makes a good director is someone who can handle these situations and still deliver us the best drama ever!! BTW King of Dramas is such a great comedy, I highly recommend.

In which she played main lead. I'm imagining Lee Da Hae saying to her agent: "DONT EVER GET ME A SECOND LEAD ROLE EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...you twerp."

“I don’t want to act saying and doing such illogical, out-of-character things in this role that makes me look like an idiot.”<--- In other words "I don't want to be the second lead role anymore" I don't care how bad it got for her, if leaving the drama meant other actors had to be cut from the drama as well, then she should have stayed and play the second lead. It wasn't going to kill her to step down for a bit.

Yoon Joo Hee might play the girlfriend of Jihah Kim played by Ha Jeong Woo. Aside from Jihah and Andrew, the rest of the Korean cast are old actor playing the family of Andrew. I'm pretty sure Yoon Joo Hee plays the girlfriend which never comes out in the movie but only in a picture.

Well this film would be easier to watch. Its an indie film. Any DVD rent store might have it.

It really is not fair to those actor. Even more when this film has been added and its not even an Asian film.
