It really bothers me when I look at her. The slant of her eyes are unnatural, her eye-bags are larger than her eyes and made her surgery even more noticeable. I wonder just how many parts of her face she had made up. Sometimes it distracts me from enjoying how well she acts.

I can't say Yoochun is stellar in SKKS. But his was his first major drama after JYJ left SM and it was a breakthrough for him and the group. The main cast was awesome, with Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In stealing some scenes. :D JYJ made really good songs for the OST for SKKS so it was an added bonus to the instrumental ones I already loved.

I have to share this one bit because I can't help it: XD in the 2010 KBS awards, JYJ performed 'Chajatta', one of the OST songs and Joo Won, who was there as a nominee (Baker King), was singing and clapping to it. *total fangirl moment* XD

Yeah, she's really insolent. I can't stand her face, she's so plastic. Never mind pulling her hair, I just wanna poke her eyes out! Ugh! XD

I hope so! And I hope to see some action with Jin Mu as well. Strange as this may sound, but I liked the fight sequence in the massacre. Kuchon looked like a superhero there! *sigh* I have a feeling he survived. I just know it!

I don't blame you. The female leads are petite and there's the cross-dressing element. But Sungkyunkwan is comedic. If you ever get to watch it, I think you'll like Geul-o/Goro there. Q__Q

:) Thanks for noticing. I love N&S so much, you can see how it has affected me. ;) I still haven't finished the e-book and would want to get a copy of a real one! Once in a while, I rewatch it too. :)

Haha! Mysterious, no? XD Energetic is a nice way of putting it!

You bet! I just reached the part where she went to Ungjin to beat the drum and blurt out in front of the king that she's Su Baek Hyang! Now I know that I heard right in Ep 1. But how I wanted to pull her hair! Gosh her character is so devious!

Oh, Sungkyunkwan Scandal isn't really a classic. It's mainly fluff, flower boys and your usual cross-dressing heroine. ;)

No, unfortunately, he hasn't! I am excited for the romance though! Isn't it a coincidence that Tae Soo looks a bit like Jin Mu too? lol Solnan--I find her a bit flat. Sol Hee displays emotions a whole lot better esp when the massacre happened. Gawd, my tears and swollen face the next morning. If that ever happened to me, I would have gone mad in an instant. But I hope she has a good build-up because Sol Hee is a scene-stealer.

@Ghettoe: Oh ok, you happen to like her. I hope you didn't take offense because I didn't mean any. I was just stating how she acts her characters so similarly. I've seen City Hall, Scent of a Woman and (hopefully someday I can finish) MNIKSS and her facial expressions and delivery are the same. In fairness, KSA knows what kind of drama project to pick, what storyline would make a hit among audiences and it's a plus for her. Unfortunately, not all audiences like how she acts and that is, like what you said about the other actresses, people's preferences . :)

@hadassa: have you seen the rating on her movies? They average at 6.7 even if you don't count the ones where she made a cameo. I don't know if MDLers are stingy raters or if the movies are that, uh, average.

Haha! You and those sageuk plot ideas! XD Oh, yay! I hated her the moment she appeared in Ep 1!

I have seen them and yes, Jo Hyun Jae is so boring while Tae Soo is animated--so unlike the role he played in Sungkyunkwan Scandal!

I haven't heard of Her and I've heard My Fair Lady although I don't know what it's about. I rely on iMDB for info but even that can be vague. How would you describe both movies to me?

The Reader is about a woman who unwittingly hired as an SS/Nazi guard and a teenager who becomes her lover. Their love story is how should I put it...special and unorthodox. If you ever get down to watching it, I have to tell you off-hand that it has explicit scenes though it doesn't quite qualify as porn. ;p

Do I get to hate the evil-looking younger sister? Something about her ticks me off! >:( I like the parents' back story. The narration was simple and the mom and Kucheon's love story had me crying every time. :'( Oh the way he kept on kneeling! Poor man!

I am sooo excited about the romance! :D Kyaa! I remember our conversation about siblings looking alike and when Tae Soo suddenly popped up, I thought Ha Ji Won's nose had grown so big! XD XD

I'm liking the instrumental OST so far and the Palace costumes--the emperor's and the ministers' were impressive. MBC really know their costumes.

I can't believe I forgot Yoon Eun Hye and Song Ji Hyo. *bangs head on keyboard*

that's probably because the way she acts is the same no matter what kind of character she plays.

Omg, I just remembered you were talking about this mute character and yes, I love him! He's too sweet and he's always so helpful it kinda breaks my heart a little. :(

I love your top 4! Those are extraordinary love stories and more. I've seen Sweeney Todd, too--love Johnny Depp! :)

I haven't seen Her and My Fair Lady. Both has interesting plots and I'll take them as great recommendations! :D I enjoy watching movies as well though I'm not as organized as you are; I don't have a list of my top 7 because I like a lot of movies! :D

But from those I've recently seen, 'The Reader' comes to mind a lot more often than others for its impact on me and one movie that I'd like to watch over and over again is 'Avatar'.

Good news! I have finally taken a step out of the hermit cave and started watching a Kdrama! :D I marathoned 7 episodes of King's Daughter until this morning! Wooh! *throws confetti* I hope I can keep this up! :D

Omo, the ending was that bad huh? :O Yikes!

Yeah, that wasn't smart thinking. But if the script relied on digital effects, common sense would tell them they'd need to find sponsors to finance it.

That reminds me, I haven't finished KPOPTUA and left it hanging in the middle. It couldn't sustain my interest and I felt no urgency to finish it.

I thought Faith was a mess too? I saw the original trailer that drama with Kang Ji Hwan and thought it would have made quite an impact. The script was heavily revised that it had no resemblance to the original drama.

I definitely know how that feels. And of course there are dramas that start out great and when they end you think wtf happened! XD But because of your honesty, I will go on and take a peek too! :D

That's the main reason why I was disappointed in Beck. The film was supposed to be about music and there I was listening to NOTHING that was being alluded to the moon or getting high. :p I liked the anime much better. At least they tried.

That is good then! I don't want to watch another life-of-a-band movie again.

I've got a good recommendation on King's Daughter and wanted to give it a shot since I feel it's been ages since I've seen a Kdrama. :) How was Episode 1 for you?

I'm going to watch King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang. And yes, you did. I don't like band movies that much though (ever since I saw Beck) but I'll give it a try soon.

True! And it's worth the fun! :)

I haven't started the Kdrama yet--it's a historical! *GASP!* :D I find myself wanting to watch more funny Japanese movies nowadays though.

Love your Older than 30 men's list and Under 30 women's list. I loved Kitagawa Keiko in Akumu-Chan she was an awesome heroine. Not really fond of Karina Nose but my daughter likes her. :)
