Hi, thanks for the request ^_^

His voice is dubbed when he speaks Chinese, and you can tell because they omit all background noise. But you do hear him when he speaks his Korean lines.

Hehehe yep heard about his new drama. But i heard there was a little scandal when he came out military service about him carrying out entertainment activities while still in the army. I thought that sucked given how he did it all properly without cheating *cough* Heechul. No offence and I love him and all but the frequency with which news about him appears in the media, it doesn't feel like he's in the army at all.

Lol there's nothing to be ashamed of, i'm essentially broke so i haven't been able to afford to go watch any of Shakespeare's play's live in performance either. I study English Literature and Classics at university so, we cover a huge basis, the lectures per week go through decades so it's quite a bit. We've been on Austen lately, and i hate Emma! (as a character)>.<

I think him taking the dictator role would at least give him some power, but at the same time if he tries too hard to force out of the general limits of the ministers, it's likely that it will backfire, there's a bunch of them vs. him and a few people who are loyal to him. Queen Dowager's obviously no joke either.

Shakespeare, cool, which of his plays? I'm studying his Twelfth Night for my exams.

I think there's a kiss come ep 17, maybe that'll get the show moving a little faster. Lmao first time anyone actually wants a king to be a dictator :p But definitely, enough with the wordplay and start showing those minsters who's in charge.

Lee Junki <3 I think he has a lot of talent to play such a character. Specially coming from Korean cinema, that doesn't usually delineate from the rom-com. But I loved the way the movie ended, I think it totally fit what the characters represented, and it was essentially the only seemingly possible way out of their suppression as artists. Aside the deep thoughts the movie provokes, moving back to the aesthetics, Lee Junki = uber cute! I had no idea he was was such a perfect kkotminam.

That's so cool, you act! Yep extended by 4 eps, but hopefully the extension is actually used well instead of what they usually do with extensions, where they just drag the story out. Oh and I read something good for ep 17, but I have no idea how to insert the spoiler tag, so I don't think it's a good idea to write it out.

Lol maybe the reason I favour HGI is 'cause I have a girl crush on her?:p But I'm not sure who you're talking about, 'fuzzy-sideburned father'...? But as for what they're making the king do, I think the writers have kept him stationary and helpless for a bit too long. I want to see the king kick those ministers ass once and for all and some one to get the Queen Dowager with a guillotine.

Aaw lol that sucks, i think over time i've moved away slightly from K-pop to a more stronger liking for OST's. But I think I'll forever be an SS501 fan <3

Drama recommendations...i'm not very good at recommending anything, but i'm sort of on a sageuk roll, last thing i watched and balled my eyes over was The Painter of the Wind. It's a tragedy to the nth term, but throughout there's humour with the cross-dressing thing. And The Princess' Man, you'll find it hard not to fall in love with Park Si Hoo after watching. Hope that's somewhat of a help. And yep both the drama's are 'REALLY GOOD' lol XD

lol i think the only reason we refrain our tongues is 'cause MDL makes us then. I have to admit though, your Eng is really good.
Not watched shining inheritence yet, i think i'm sort of still in the crushing stage for Park Shin Yang, despite his age lol, so maybe i'll troll his MDL page and try watching something with him in it again.
Lucky! I have to wait at least another month for a break, and then i'm supposed to be studying as well. Just my sh*t luck :( Hehe KSH is just..brilliant as the king, he has that cocky air as the king in assembly and then when he gets the water works going, you feel like shedding some tears with him. I think you'll like HGI after a few more episodes, where she leaves the docile characteristics of the shaman and starts growing a stronger backbone. But I agree, I felt iffy about the older actors at first, just 'cause I was getting used to the younger ones.

lol my sis watches it too, she has an account on here as 'Ashiyaa' and two of my friends (also Bengali) are on here, 'Cheonsa' and 'Rubyy'. Actually a lot of my friends are into dramas, which is kind of cool :)

*sorry got the name of the musical artist wrong in the review, it's Jo Sung Mo.

lol i only watch a few at a time 'cause otherwise i know i will never get any uni work done...which still tends to be the case, but i feel less guilty lol.

OMG i just finished Painter of the Wind and the ending just made me bloody cry! (sorry for my foul language) but i never ever cry during dramas lol. it was just sooo freaking AWESOME. i would really recommend you try watching it again. I'm not sure what it is about the drama, but my other friend tried watching it and she's a fan of sageuks and she got bored of it. But honestly, it's AMAZING! definitely going on my fave's.

Hi, lol thanks and yh it does mean fish, i thought it was a funny reference to my own heritage. I'm Bengali as well, (noticed you are too). XD

can't really say anything bad about MCW because i adore her but yh definitely, you can see that her acting has changed and improved by a huge margin since her early days. wow you've got a lot of drama's you're watching. i usually stick to one that's airing and one that's finished airing, so only two. But yesterday i realised Park JungMin's T-drama was out, so i couldn't help it XD
i've noticed there are quite a few Sageuks that are coming out, there's that Rooftop Prince, which is like a fusion, but i'm seriously reluctant 'cause i personally don't think Micky can act (i watched Sunky, and couldn't bare his stoic expression). There's also something called Faith, Lee Min Ho was being considered for it. there's even another drama called The King with Ha Ji Won. Historical drama's are really on the rise in terms of popularity. But I hope they don't become redundant with overexposure.

lol yh the girl who plays Heo Yeonu she plays the young version of Moon Geun Young in Painter of the Wind as well, got to admit she's in quite a few Sageuks. I love the story so far, but i've been waiting a week for the latest subs so my spazzing for the drama has kinda toned down now. I usually prefer to wait for the entire series to end so i can watch it in one go than suffer through the week for the next ep.

yep i'm watching Moon Embraces The Sun, it's reallllly good! I didn't expect Kim Soo Hyun to perform so well. I'm also watching Painter of the Wind, which is also good. It has a different take on the cross-dressing thing. Oh Moon Chae Won's in it XD her character is totally different to what I've seen her in so far, but I think I like Park Shin Yang the most in this drama. Are you watching anything else at the moment?

so i was watching painter of the wind, and i may have a slight mini crush on Park Shin Yang...hehe he is sooooo cool XD

just saw the trailer, eeps! XD

really? no sageuks? i know i said it didn't really matter what genre i watched, which it probably still doesn't, but sageuks are AWESOME! lol no joke, i think i know what you mean about the whole 'weak women' thing, i think that goes with the context. But the women do show power just in a demure manner, actually i think it's more clever to be autonomous without being blatantly obvious, if you know what i mean. i'm currently watching moon embraces the sun, and it's really~ good! has the romance so you might like it.

i'm still not sure about wild romance, lee dong wook is cool but the lead actress, i'm kinda iffy about, i saw her in playful kiss and wasn't all that big a fan, and i'm not much of a SONE either. Hungry sounds good though, might give that try soon.

now that you mention it, i agree it is like city hunter, just set in Joseon era and yh i kinda agree on that, city hunter fell a little dry towards the end. it does have a j-drama style ominous ending, but i think it goes with the whole idea of Iljimae's sacrifice. lol, the movie isn't actually all that long, maybe just over an hour? definitely worth it though XD

anyone know where i can get links to watch this online in the u.k.? there don't seem to be any after ep 6, help!
