This was a wonderful article and brilliant list. I've added the ones I haven't seen to my watch list - but I have to of the ones I've seen 'Falling for Innocence' was the BEST. It was the first Kdrama I ever saw and I loved it so much I bought the (region free, english subbed) dvd. I STILL watch it whenever I can as, no matter down or fed up I am, it can ALWAYS make me feel better. :D it also made me a huge fan of Jung Kyung Ho; I think I've seene everything he's done so far now....even if I've had to watch it raw. Lol!
Can anyone tell me the ending? dramanice and dramacool are missing the ending; I just gets to the scene with the cup hitting and stops..... having sat through an hour and a half of it, I just really want to know what happened. Thanks so much.
If Put's as good as he was in 'Ugly Duckling: Perfect Match' (my favourite role of his) then I am completely on board for this. Generally he is excellent in all his roles - so, I see his name, I ALWAYS click. :)
I really like My Rainy Days, but just couldn't like Chocolietta. I'm also a big fan of Bi Rain, but I thought that, whilst it had good moments, I'm a Cyborg.... failed overall because it was just TOO off the wall.
I love Kang Dong Won - but I could not sit through this movie again....I was doing the hiccuping sobs at the end I was crying so hard even though, as others have said, you kind of suspected what was happening and how it would end......BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT movie and for those wishing to give their eyeballs a good wash this is the movie for you. If you don't like crying, ending up in a bottomless lake of your own tears, issue flood warnings to family, and with shares in kleenex then don't watch this....OR bail before the end if you really must see it.
Nice old drama, a classic indeed, BUT Kaoru is the most annoying woman ever in dramaland !
I'm a very tactile person - if I'm laughing I'll slap my leg or someone's arm; they don't have to be guys, just the person I'm talking to. If I see someone upset or it's someone I haven't seen for a while I'll pat them or even hug them. I remember hugging an elderly lady that was crying because her car had broken down with a flat tyre. I hugged her and then changed it for her - though that was back in my pre-wheelchair days. :) It's just something we touchy feely types do. We're very tactile. I'm a very huggy person - I'd hug the world if I could. I HATE seeing people sad, upset or lonely - my immediate reaction is to.....hug. I don't do ANY of it to offend - I'm trying to help; seeing people in a bad place hurts my heart and I have to comfort them, and then try to help solve whatever's the matter.
YOU hurt my heart; I wish I could hug you and show you not everyone is bad news. I'm a lot like you - but I'm different in one way, my late mum told me often when I was a kid that everyone has the 'fight or flight' instinct....except me. She said she saw it never even occured to me to run, just to turn and face whatever was coming. I think you have only the flight instinct - the resolution NOT to be hurt again no matter what. I completely understand that - it's terrible to feel so low that you worry you'll never stand again. I've had to try and think of excuses for bruises and cuts from my ex, when I CAN'T lie. I am like you in that I don't trust easily - it takes a LOT to earn it and if you break it I'm done. There's NO coming back from it. I NEVER break a promise - EVER. If I'm not sure I can keep it, I won't make it.
I'm 51 and so the woman who was 50 and cheating on you, her husband and her other lover just boggles my brain. I've NEVER cheated on anyone - I saw the damage my father did to my mum and my whole family. I couldn't put ANYONE through that pain.
I see you're in a lot of pain and I really feel for you. I've been there too but dragged myself free - it took some doing, but my health suffered (2 strokes by 41, then other issues leading to arthritis by 45, night blindness (which means I can no longer drive once the daylight dims) brain damage from strokes leaving me a bit.....broken in many ways. I fight every day to stay out of my wheelchair full time. But surprisingly I'm grateful - my health is the reason I got control of my depression, my self harming - all of it.
Now I take life and shake it every day to make sure I get the most from every minute. Admittedly my friends are a TEENY circle of a couple; but I've known them since primary school. Others have proven themselves to be users so I just cut them loose. They're not going to drag me down anymore.
I stick with my family - husband and daughter. They're ALL I hold close...well, and my two furry angels - one an akita cross and one a Siberian husky. Anyone else I tend to help,, hug, whatever but keep outside my circle. I cosplay with my daughter - we're still trying to work out how to steampunk my wheels - and I make sure I laugh at least once a day.
I hope one day you feel better too - I can't say you will for sure as I've not suffered exactly as you have and everyone's problems are relative to them. I know, even thirty years later, that I still can't watch dramas with rape and abuse in them as they make me feel sick and then I have nightmares. So I do honestly understand your issues. But I do hope you feel better because then YOU'RE winning and NOT the people who hurt you so badly. If you ever want to talk, vent, rant whatever, I'm always around. Like I said, I hate to see ANYONE in pain. My friends call me Merlin; so can you. Take care, Blademan, I genuinely mean that. :)
Yes, I am loving it too - and a BIG, HUGE, THANK YOU to the SUBBERS, without them we'd be sunk. :)
