i think we're gonna need a bigger corner! this is killing everyone.

ugh this is why i usually wait for dramas to finish airing before i watch. excuse me while i sit in a corner and cry until the next episode is out.

i feel like the writers are purposely taking the very common archetype of a childlike/ innocent female lead and flipping it. in k-drama countless heroines are portrayed as innocent and childlike, which is presented as romantically desirable. at the same time they do their best to style the actress in ways that make her look like a little girl or that evoke that sort of image. that's what gives me the jeebs, and it's what makes so many people have a negative reaction to NMW's character, b/c that persona of child isnt considered attractive or romantically desirable for a guy.

i find it odd how people are reacting to No Min Woo's character. he's weird or stupid or annoying, but let's face it, k-dramas have been churning out female leads like this for a looong time, characters who's main appeal is supposed to be a child like innocence and ineptitude that makes the other lead want to take care of them. guy or girl i dont find it funny or endearing. a little creepy maybe....

viki and drama fever are both free. you dont have to pay them. as for the speed, you get what you pay for when it comes to internet. often these problems arent the site but consumer connection. $30 dollar a month DSL isnt going to cut it when you're trying to stream in HD, especially if you're using wifi. streaming of HD asian dramas to the rest of the world is still working out some kinks. availability is expanding all the time, whenever one of these big sites gets shut down, you see the legal sites expand. i personally look forward to a day when we all have legal reasonably priced access to asian dramas so the industry can benefit from it's huge international audience. if they are more profitable there will be more dramas and you will see an increase in quality, like we've seen with the t-dramas in recent years.

i tend to watch on the legal steaming sites, but every once in a while there's a show i can only find on the illegal sites. i hope the bank seizure is not true. i understand making enough money off the site to keep it running but if you are making a significant profit off intellectual property that you dont have permission to use, welli just cant feel bad for you when you get shut down. until there is a legal way to access this stuff from anywhwere sites like this will continue to pop up. in recent years access has improved, but it's still no where near where it needs to be to accomodate the demand.

that looks better than i thought it would. anyone know the nbame of the song that was playing?

dubbing that bad takes time :P

some of the dubbing here is just criminal. Jerry's dubbing is particularly irksome, since i really like his voice. the kids are just...{{{shudder}}

it's a special episode that aired during the show's original run when the lead actress was unable to film.

i guess i'm the only one who's feeling kind of "meh" about this drama. the 1st episode felt like they were just trying to pile on flashy or pseudo exciting sceenes in hopes that you'd be too distracted by all the pretty colors to realize that the exposition is seriously lacking.

JJ....guh. i'm so glad to see his acting getting better and better.

i think KJ's perusing a woman he knows is miserable. you can love someone and still be miserable with them. what i see is that IR has been stuffing it down for so long b/c she loves her husband, then along comes KJ who tells her she doesnt have to stuff it down and makes her feel good. i dont think IR's actions mean she will always cheat, i think they mean that people are flawed and dont always do the right or honorable thing.

i watched about half of it, but then the big reveal made me mad so i havent finished it yet, he is pretty awesome in that too, but he's awesome in everything lol

apparently Il Ri is a homophone for the korean word for valid, according to one viki subber at least.

have you seen king of high school savy LSH is mesmerizing in that.

i think it all makes perfect sense, these are two people who are hurt and confused and scared, they wont always do what is right or logical.

and yess lee soo hyuk is walking deliciousness.

i'm on EP 15 and i dont see anything crazy happening so far. actually, i'm in my early 30's, so alot of my friends have been with their significant others for about 7 to 12 years. i think that up to this point the drama has done an excellent job portraying a relationship that has moved well past the butterflies and puppy love to a stage where you have to decided if this is how you want to live the rest of your life and if your relationship will evolve into the next, more mature stage of life.

yea, when i watched full house the language sounded really abrasive but by the end i hardly noticed.
