The ending... you can't simply bring him back without an explanation as to how he came back. I get that Dr. Jung may have implied for a second that it wasn't inevitable for Jisang to survive, but with just that, you can't assume the audience would put that together and also accept it. Even if it's a fictionalized world, we want to be informed of the process and need to make sense of it so it feels more conclusive. If there isn't a second season, then they've done their dedicated watchers an injustice.

Oh! and leaving out how the ward patients fared after Jisang sacrificed himself (well...you know) to create the anti-virus to save them and others who were inflicted with the virus. Fans can't feel satisfied with so many loose-ends! TT__TT....

Buuuut, with all that said, I still liked it. ^^

I honestly didn't recognize her in Blood! I haven't seen any of her work since BOF. Wow.

Happy New Year!
I like that you added your 'firsts' to your profile. I like that idea.
Take care in the new year! akemoshite omedetou gozaimasu.???

I hope there is another season! It ended too soon!

His role in Tokkan is so great. I love it. Still on ep.3. <3

From? Do you mean country or school? If country, the U.S., and if school, IUS. :D
And I haven't started watching that drama yet! Is it good? ^-^

Pretty good! I just got back a little while ago from a pub, so I'm exhausted. xD It's a prefect time for me to catch up a little on some shows, I think. My spring break is almost over. :(
What drama are you most into right now? I see you're watching many at the moment.

Not a problem! How are you? :D

Haha, right? :D I liked it so much, I decided to buy it! ^-^ I'm going to get my best friend to watch it with me. :) And sorry I've been so absent from the site! School is drilling me this semester. T_T

This drama has serious re-watch value in my book. I'm going at it for the third time and when I told my good friend I had started re-watching it, she instantly was like, 'I should watch it again, too!' It's just a wonderful drama. There are a couple aspects that puts this more on along the scale at 8-9, rather than 10, but sometimes you have to take the good in with the bad. :D

Yes, exactly! Many times over I never wanted a drama to end, or at least for there to be a second season. But really korea, japan, and taiwan continuously let out dramas to keep your interest--and to have the same basic play-out but performed or made into a different environment is another factor that keeps us coming back. As you put it, they have the winning formula. :D

I see you dropped Flower Boy Ramyun Shop. How come? I actually have it on hold at the 10th, but I'm curious why you dropped it? I thought the story is a bit different than the usual, you know?

When watching Paradise Kiss I really thought I'd develop a strong bias since such a story and art style is hard to portray in live action especially if there is a strong fan base for the original, which there is. But just as you said, I think Mukai did a phenomenal job and I really enjoyed the movie.

And thank you for the recommendation! Hana yori dango but in ancient china? Sounds interesting!

Very true. I just wish there were more people locally that enjoy watching and conversing about Asian dramas as much as I do. My best friend really happens to be the only person in which we have elongated discussions about this or that drama. But even then, her drama history is but a fraction of my own and I feel I go on and on far more than she does. xDD; Which she doesn't mind because she knows I have a passion for it.

Geun Seok I believe is a favorite among many. But for that drama they really selected a strong cast. Did you know he made a guest appearance in the Japanese version, Ikemen desu ne? I was caught off guard with that one because I'm strongly against watching previews or sneak-peaks. xD And as far as hair preference goes, I don't have one. xDD I thought the blonde was absolutely adorable on Lee Hong Ki, but he looks fine with brunette, too.

Absolutely loved Goong. :D and how have you been?

Hana Yori Dango was an excellent drama to begin your career with! It was well executed, which is why it's on my top. :D But yes, I was recommended by Akai-kitsune to watch Goong. I remember all the hype back in 2006, but at the time I didn't dabble to much on the internet nor spent a lot of time watching dramas, so I didn't watch it then. I'm now on the fifth episode and enjoy immensely! :D And thanks! I'll put Goong S on the list. ^-^

You know, I'm not quite sure how I found Ikemen desu ne. I actually think it had something to do with this site, but the details are already fuzzy. xD But it definitely similar to You're Beautiful, practically follows the original, but there are some slight differences and the cast has great chemistry. An old room-mate and myself watched You're Beautiful when we were freshmen and it holds great value to us for reminiscing purposes. (at text limit xD)

I was actually GLAD they took that out. For two reasons: 1. it, as you said, made me cry! I was preparing for it, but was to glad when discovering they deducted it. And 2. Hong Ki's performance was so astounding that someone trying to reproduce it would no doubt seem second best. Hong ki really made that role. ^-^

Thank you for the insight. I'm not adverse to watching dramas that focus around music, like you're beautiful...just afraid to tread in the lines of--"then they bursted out into song!" xD you know?

Hey! Not a problem!
Taiwanese Fran Dresher? xDD I suppose some saw her that way, but really enjoyed her role. She reminded my slightly of my flamboyant years as well as some of my friends into alternative style. Xiao was just adorable and you get insight on how different minded people approach situations. It's definitely a drama I recommend time and again. ^-^

Not a problem! I'm well and somewhat chatty this morning. xD How are you? And as far as Asian movie recommendations go, I'd recommend Dororo. It's great!

Ah! thank you! Since I didn't give it a chance, it hard to believe the series develops that way since much of the previews and sneak-peaks had mostly focused on the musical aspect of it and continually calling it a 'musical'. I'll definitely give it a proper chance. And thank you for the recommendations!
