It might helpful to state WHY the movie provoked such anger & hatred? Just a thought...

How is it going? Watching anything good?

Dey ya a fight di good fight, yu kno. How tings a yard? Watching anything good?

Oh dear, It Started With A Kiss & Devil Beside You are both high school dramas. I've only seen one episode of each and I'm already fed up with their childish antics. I'm actually considering if I should just skip ISWAK & go straight over to the sequel, They Kiss Again. In TKA the characters are married & deal with more mature dilemmas.

I want to watch more Taiwanese dramas, but not at any cost. ISWAK & Devil come highly recommended by a few people I know so I'm gonna hang in there a bit longer & see if they grow on me. Seriously, though, if they become too juvenile I WILL drop them.

Too bad about your Chinese friends & relatives. I kinda understand them a bit though. Since discovering Asian dramas I haven't really been that interested in Western cinema, esp TV shows, any more.

Jamaique, wha gwaan? Long time!

Life sure is funny! Sometimes I wish I was shorter because I love shoes. I'm a serious shoes freak & I LOVE sexy footwear. Problem is because of my height I become a moutain when I wear heels! Taller even than my yobo! I want to feel petite & feminine, not like a giant. :D

Yoo Ji Tæ & Ha Jeong Woo are on my favourites list. Yoo Ji Tæ also stars in One Fine Spring Day which was one of my weekend movie pics back in January. It's on your list.

Ok, thx for the heads up on HK dramas. I guess I won't be watching one anytime soon then! haha. I agree with you about J-dramas. That's why I love them on a different level than k-dramas. Korea seems to be a very image fixated country more than Japan. I started It Started with a Kiss & Devil Beside You recently. Hope they're good. Your sis-in-law is likely missing out on some good shows. You should share the addiction with her! :)

For me what's sexy about KT isn't necessarily his physical self, but his aura. KT has this enigmatic, magnetic, strong stage presence that sucks me in. Physically, Abe Hiroshi is more my type. I'm pretty tall (176cm) so I need me a tall oppa! I hear that South Koreans are the tallest among East Asians. So I'm in luck! Have you seen any movies with Yoo Ji Tæ and or Ha Jeong Woo? Some might argue that these guys are not classicly handsome men, but to me they're very handsome. I love them to bits. I haven't watched that many HK/Taiwanese/Chinese dramas, but guys like Mike He & Vic Zhou seem pretty nice. I'm looking forward to meeting them one day soon. I like that in Taiwanese dramas the kisses are mostly real & that the sexuality of the characters aren't glossed over like in K-dramas. :D

LOL, does he? I didn't notice that he has large eyes. I noticed that he's short, kinda skinny & typically not a guy I'd fall for but I luuuuurve him!

Hadi, what drama is the second pic from? It looks really good!

Edited to Add: Not to worry, I found out! A Love to Kill ... right?

I'm tellin' yah, it's a good thing KT isn't my neighbour! My oppa would be in danger of being shelved. Haha

I presume you've seen Pride? Aside from that what's the best (romantic) KT drama or movie have you seen? I'll gladly accept any recs you may have.

RainFlower, you changed your name! I saw Rosie & I was like ... huh? Who the heck is that? lol

I finished Reply 1997 a few days ago. Wonderful little show! It took me a while to warm up to it, but once I did my feelings ran raging hot! Seo In Guk as Yoon Jæ ... OH.MY.GOD!!! I love that kid! Sooo gorgeous! :D Thanks for urging me to go for it. I'm gonna watch Smile, You as my next long drama. I've really done my homework this time around so I don't think it will disappoint me as much as Unexpected You.

Watching anything interesting now?

I did recommend Season of Good Rain to you long ago. Back when I had it up on my favourites list. It is a great little love movie, just like we like it. So yeah, watch it, you'll enjoy it, & like I wrote in my review Jung Woo-sung is verrrrrrrry handsome in it. You can also look forward to some badass kissing. I was actually planning on reminding you about it after you watch The Servant.

I Saw the Devil is a revenge movie so brace yourself going in. There are some gruesome scenes that might make you queasy if you have a weak stomach like me. Great, great movie though. LBH is at the top of his game. The closing scene stayed with me a long time after the credits rolled. You'll see what I mean when you watch. Enjoy :)

Hey Rose, we haven't talked since we became friends in November. How is it going? I just read through your profile and I so agree with you about the melos. I'll watch them on occasion, but generally I don't like them. Life's hard as it is. Are you watching anything interesting? Do you like long dramas? They are usually good at combining genres. I checked your list & noticed that you haven't seen Ojakgyo Brothers. I didn't like everything about it, but it was an okay drama. Not too heavy with a little action, a little love, and a little comedy. I'd also recommend Brother Beat. It's a j-drama (so only 11 episodes!) about a slacker mom & her 3 sons. It made me laugh a lot & the romance in it was very sweet (only down side, some pretty lame ass kisses, but that's Asian dramas for ya, as I'm sure you well know). Definitely worth a watch otherwise! :D

Finished Reply 1997 yesterday & it was GREAT! Wasn't feeling it at first, but it grew on me by the end. And gosh, LOVED the male lead who plays Yoon Jæ. What an eye candy! Hope he makes dramas & movies STAT! As for Queen In-Hyun's Man ... ah, QIHM. The drama I kinda love to hate. Actually, I blame the fangirls for making me hate this drama. They rose my expectations to epic proportions only for me to realize this was your usual k-drama trope, which would have been fine for me. Had they not convinced me what a fresh, innovative, non-cliche kiss fest it was. Only thing I loved about it? The couple & the ONE major kiss scene in it. Otherwise, the story was crap & had all the frustrating cliches k-dramas are known for. But definitely watch it for yourself. Just don't be like me & expect too much. Now Song Seung Hun ... with a body like that there's no way he's safe from me now!

I've only seen him in what appears to be his most well known work, Autumn's Concerto, and he was just meh for me. His spin in that drama has not enticed me to see him in anything else. Not that I'm opposed to watching him ever again. He's just not a priority. I'm looking forward to becoming acquainted with Mike He. He is, at the very least, cute. My hope now is that he can act too.

I hope you enjoy Happily Ever After as much I did. It's a thought-provoking, sweet little story.

It's difficult to find online I've heard. I watched it at a film festival when it first came out. Search around on all the different sites. It's been a while since its release so it should be up somewhere. To tide you over until you find it, you can always watch A Bittersweet Life. Another great, mesmerising performance & good story. One thing you should know though, Byung-hun ahjussi has an affinity for tragedies so rarely, if ever, will you see him in anything with a happy ending. :/

Had a look see on some of my earlier convos with mdl buddies and I saw a convo between you & I. It Started With a Kiss came highly recommended by you, but you warned that there aren't that many kisses in it. I started it last night & I gotta admit reading that had me disappointed because with a title like that you kinda want to expect lots of skinship! lol
So I just wanted to ask have you seen the sequel They Kiss, Again & are there more kisses in that?

Haha, I saw your recommendation to another mdl'er about Mike He being much better to look at than Vaness Wu. Totally agree & I haven't even seen the guy in anything yet! I'm about to watch him in Devil Beside You (and will add your Sunny Happiness rec). But even so I can never fathom all the hoopla about Wu. He's not a particularly great actor nor is he all that good looking. In my humble opinion. I better go hide before his fangirls crucify me! lol

Hahaha!

LOL, nah, that's enough fangirling for the day! :D
