Howdy :)

I don't think I am enjoying Innocent Man all that much. I still don't really like any of the characters :(

Awwwww! It's the dorky North Korean soldier from King2Hearts! He was adorable in K2H :p

Bahahah, I always forget when I use Internet explorer at work, I can't hit reply or it posts on my own page instead of replying for some reason! I was coming to comment about smile you and wondered where my comment had gone :p I watched an episode of Innocent Man and I'm just now starting Smile You cause I needed the happy! I hope I am not supposed to like the girl's dad any time soon. He is a jerk!

Oh, that's OK! I will check it out when I get home in a few hours :) I hope it does work! I love finding new places to watch dramas :)

I am not huge on open endings, but sometimes they can work! I feel better already about moving it up on my PTW list :)

And yes, boyfriends do have the tendency to take over things. Luckily we have two TVs, otherwise we probably would have killed each other long ago :p His TV is giant though, so I am always watching it when he is at work! Lee Seung Gi, song Joong Ki, Lee Min Ho, any number of hot kdrama stars look so much better on a 52" :p We only have the one desktop though, and ever since the new Starcraft expansion came out last week, I have had ZERO chance of even looking at the computer :p

It's an impossible act to follow :p I started My Girl once and it didn't catch me in the first few minutes. Ill give it another shot if you and Lyna want to watch it though!

I have a Roku, which is kind of like an Apple TV and I was using Hulu Plus at first to watch dramas, but I HATED the commercials. If I am paying for it, they shouldn't be able to make even more money showing me 6 commercials every kdrama! So I canceled it and decided to get a paid Dramafever account and I love it! No commercials and they have a decent selection. But they don't have a lot of older stuff and it makes me sad :( I do watch Viki on my tablet, especially Queen In Hyun's Man cause Dramafever won't carry it. I will have to check out Dramacrazy! I hope they let you play videos on a tablet, a lot of the drama sites people recommend won't play on it, and my desktop computer is constantly taken over by the boyfriend.

I was worried about Powerful Opponents cause I heard it has a sad ending! I really hate when people die, so I am nervous about it :p But the storyline sounds EXACTLY my type. The dad in Reply really pissed me off when he cut all of her hair off. I just couldn't believe it! And I couldn't believe how porn-centric the entire drama was. It is so very rarely mentioned in other dramas, it was weird watching one where every episode talked about porn :p But I am definitely keeping an eye on your list from now to make sure I don't miss anything great :)

Bahahaha, seriously??! I swear, MDL is psychic :p I guess that must mean Smile You is great! I think I'm going to watch it in between episodes of Innocent Man if it gets to angsty on me :)

I was just nosing through your list to see what you'd seen and rated high that I haven't seen yet to see if there was anything I should add to my list and I see you watched Powerful Opponents!! Where did you watch it at? I have been dying to watch it since I first started this addiction a year ago, and have had no luck with finding it.

Bahaha, we are so similar in our drama tastes! I am the exact same way, I'd prefer just ONE main story than 10 side stories. The more characters, the more dropped storylines! Especially if the drama is only 16 episodes with more than 2 or 3 main characters, there is just not enough time to give enough character development to everyone. KPOP: The Ultimate Audition failed at that the worst, I think. I liked TUA alright, but they tried to give too many characters quasi-interesting storylines, but only touched briefly on them, so you never really cared enough about anyone :p I am hoping that a longer episode length would help correct that, but even so I would still prefer the main couple to be the main focus. Reply 1997 has given me hope that I could some day like dramas with lots of characters to care about. I really liked all of the stuff they did with the side characters in that show!

I have been really wanting to start this for the past week, this just made up my mind to bite the bullet and see if I can do a drama with so many episodes :)

DUDE. Smile, You was the drama I was seriously considering the most!!! That's so funny :p And Shining Inheritance is the longest drama I've seen too :p New Tales of Gisaeng is the other drama I have been considering, but I think that one has more angst in it. And Ojakgyo Brothers and Dandelion Family. I keep putting Ojakgyo Brothers off cause it has Uee from You're Beautiful as a lead and I really hated her character :p Probably cause she was such a jerk to Go Mi Nam! I just think I'd have a hard time watching her in a nice girl role.

Hahah, we picked such an unfortunate time to marathon dramas together! Normally, it doesn't take me more than two or three days to finish a drama, but it's tax season and my dad is in town, so I am slow :p But tonight I am going to watch at least 5 episodes! I really want to start a long drama after Innocent Man. I have been looking at some with around 50 episode that I am seriously considering :p 28 is the most episodes I have seen in a drama (Not counting Full House Take 2, since really it's 32 half episodes, which equals 16 episodes). What's been your longest?

I am so glad you are loving it!! It really is just perfect. No stupid makjang getting between the couple, everyone is really smart and doesn't do things that put your TV in danger of having stuff thrown at it! When you get to the angsty part of the drama, there is no one to hate for it, it's just stuff that they have to go through. I looooooove it :)

LYNA! I hadn't realized you hadn't seen Queen In Hyun's Man!!! You HAVE to watch it with Minoz!! I rewatched it after she started it, it's the best!!! I am still moving soooo slow on Innocent Man :p

I think she might be finished with it already! She is stuck in bed all day with a broken leg and foot, so she does a lot of marathoning :) But last I talked to her she was loving it, so I hope that bodes good things for us :) I am only on episode 6 though :p

Whenever I hear this song, I start to tear up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-sBE73m5jQ

QIHM just works its way into your soul, I swear. It's so lovely and beautiful, and hard to get over! I am convinced I will never love anything as much as I love it. I really hope after his military stint they star in a drama again. And yes, I just recently saw the director's cut, and I nearly died, it was that good :p I can't believe they didn't just add it into the real ending!!

Missing You will require a lot of tears! It's pretty horrific in the beginning, and the child actors just do a phenomenal job executing how horrifying the whole thing is. And then the adult actors are incredible, showing how long and hard the road to recovery and forgiveness is. I am in utter awe of Yoochun, never has a male actor been able to make me cry nearly as much as he did. Even through all of the sadness though, they manage to insert a ton of levity, which Innocent Man seems to be lacking. So far, it's pretty much 24/7 doom and gloom. Ugh, now I want to go home and rewatch Missing You! This is why I never get any dramas finished :p

You're making me so happy :) I am glad you are loving it! The lead actress just does an incredible job. I love it when she is frustrated, how she kind of puffs out her cheeks! It's so endearing :p

Isn't it the greatest!? I love that there are no villains, really. I mean, there are some bad guys in the past, but nobody that you ever really loathe. Han Dong Min poses some interesting problems later on, but it's still all mostly funny, not really angsty like most dramas!

I think I've seen Queen In Hyun's Man 9 times now, though I try to pretend it's a lesser number than that cause that sounds ridiculous! It's funny, we have seen all of the same dramas over and over again, those are the ones I rewatch the most, too! Especially King2Hearts! And I've rewatched Missing You at least 3 times now. I am the same way, if I love something, I have to keep going back to it! One time is never enough :) Minoz says she is loving QIHM! I have a hard time believing that there are people who wouldn't love it in the world. Those people must have no soul :p
