Haha yeah the Japan (okay, only going to Osaka/Kyoto)/Korea trip is my gift to myself for finishing university. It should be good fun, I'm going with a friend who really loves Korea as well. If you fit into my suitcase you're welcome to come along ;) But I hope you can go (soon) too :D

Ohh you wanna study law, that's interesting :D Good luck ^^

Yeah, instruments are really expensive... I remember my piano was a few thousand Euros as well ;; I hope you manage to renovate your cello :)

Motivation is everything when it comes to art. If it's meant to be you'll get your mojo back ;)

Dreams I want to achieve huh.. I'm at that stage in life where I'll be happy to just be done with university (almost!), get a job and get a house keke Another big dream of mine is to visit Korea and Japan (which I actually will do in October, yay me) and see Gemma Arterton in a play sometime. :P
Maybe it's a bit silly but for the longest time my dream was just attending univeristy and I never did find that dreamjob for me (yet?). But who knows, maybe in the future. How about you?

Today's episode is cancelled as well, and both episode 13 and 14 are postponed to next week. SBS decided to preempt their programming to show their condolences for the victims of the Sewol ferry accident: http://jyj3.net/2014/04/17/news-140417-three-days-planned-to-air-2-episodes-on-april-17-in-end-cancelled-todays-broadcast-too/

Well, it'd be 8 years, but technically I've only played for 6 as I couldn't play the last 2 years. But I do hope I can get a new piano at some point.. so expensive though.

Sounds good ^^

Haha I always draw the same things when I draw for fun/relaxation. I need more inspiration for more tricky things but it just doesn't come when I'm tired. Oh well, it'll come eventually.

Oh, and I will watch Queen Seon Duk - it's one of the few dramas I've downloaded to watch while living in Germany (I have no clue how my internet will be over there). I figured at 62 eps it should keep me entertained for several weeks, right? :P

I've played piano since 2006, but I had to give up classes (and my piano *cries*) when I moved to Vienna two years ago. After I come back from München I should no longer have to move abroad, so I hope to either get another cheap piano (though that's probably just a nice daydream), or a keyboard, in order to be able to play again.

My hobbies these days are mostly limited to dramas, reading and sudokus.. though whenever the mood strikes me I like to draw too. I'm not that good though, in recent years there's always been too little time to really practice. After I move back home I want to take painting classes though, let's see if that works out ^^

Yeah that's always sad :( But good work always shows! A younger friend of mine joined the schoolpaper too and once they got fun segments mouth-to-mouth communication made more people pick up the magazine. :) I wish you luck!

That's a good passion to have ;) Nah, I kind of gave up on learning the violin, but it's okay, I can still indulge in my love by hearing other people play. ^^ I have no time to practice an instrument these days so it'd be a bit of a waste of money to take classes.

Good luck with your magazine! It's always hard to convince people they *have* to read the magazine, but I hope you can succeed. :)

LOL I generally don't even start dramas with too many episodes either. I'm really hestitating about Queen Seon Duk for that reason... but all the reviews for that drama are sooo good that I'm kind of intrigued XD But yep, guess I will be giving it a try soon enough.. ^^

Sounds like you have interesting hobbies besides drama watching ^^ I'm kind of envious you play the cello, I love their sound. I wanted to learn how to play the violin, but only came to that conclusion when I was 12, and was told it might be too late to learn, so I learned the piano instead. XD And it's kind of cool you have a school magazine :) We didn't have one until 2 years before I left high school and that was a bit sad.

I'm kind of scared about watching such a long drama though. I'm kind of notorious for losing my interest somewhere around the 18th-episode mark.. :P But I guess we'll see ^^

I'm even worse with picking movies XD I had about a year where I watched at least one movie every day and I've been a little bummed out on movies ever since. As for Asian movies.. it often feels like they're a short version of a drama, and then I'd just rather watch a drama? xD

Ahh your dramas are almost finished now too. :) Hope you find a good show to marathon!

Ha, let's hope, so, they're pretty long dramas.. well, The Princess' Man is 24 eps, but Queen Seon Duk... is 62 episodes. If that's not good I'm not gonna be able to finish it *lol*

Okay I'll watch both... at some point ^^ I know Viki has both so maybe I can watch them while in Germany ^^

Yeah, I think that's it, lol. Plus the tragedy in historical dramas is different in ways, especially when it's politically motivated, and that makes it harder to relate to for me? Idk :P

I always plan what to watch next, but when the time comes I often change my mind XD; I do watch variety shows sometimes, especially when I don't feel like watching a drama. For example, I really love Happy Together! when there's fun people on the show... but I don't follow any variety show religiously every week.
It's good for variety though ^^

Well I'll need a new currently airing drama. I want one that will be subbed on Viki... but except for Jaejoong's new Triangle drama I haven't really heard a synopsis for a new drama yet that caught my attention... guess we'll see ^^ I have some dramas downloaded to watch in Germany, so my next finished drama will probably be The Princess' Man or Queen Seon Duk. But the new currently airing drama... yeah that'll be a problem XD

"Why did I waste (x) hours on this?" That's why I think picking dramas is hard - I'm incredibly picky lately because I don't have that much time, and I don't want to waste the few hours I do have to myself, if that makes sense. :')

But yeah, 3 dramas is generally my maximum too (just like you - 2 currently airing dramas, and 1 finished drama), except for a 3rd drama I'm currently catching up with the Superman variety show. I'll need to pick new dramas to watch soon though... hmmm. ~_~

Omg, that always worries me too when starting new dramas, especially currently airing ones! I hate dropping dramas but sometimes I start a drama and really regret my choices and just want to give up about halfway through... Unemployed Romance and Nail Shop Paris are two of these dramas. They seemed so much fun in the beginning.... ahh it's always difficult, picking new dramas XD

Not that sad huh *lol* Well, maybe I'll check it out someday. But if Yoochun is so handsome in Miss Ripley that might be a reason to start watching that instead kekeke Badmouthing together sounds fun too XD

Ohh I've got The Princess' Man downloaded and am planning to watch it when I move countries next month.... guess I'll have to prepare the tissues XD (It's strange how the prospect of tears bothers me less when it's a historical drama but idk that's how it is? o.O)

Aww, that's sweet, thank you :D

Missing You really puts me off because I remember when it aired that people were just crying every episode and I'm really not in the mood for 21 hours of tears *lol* But Miss Ripley is sounding more annoying by the second... now I'm really unsure about watching it xD;

Amour & Pâtisserie is 14 episodes! But I might advice you to wait a bit before starting... I mean, 6 eps have been subbed now and they've started subbing late August last year... the subs are good though, just a bit on the slow side.

5 episodes is a bit of a short marathon though ;) Certainly for Hotel King with its 32 eps.. ^^

And I hope you like it! I just think it's the cutest ever and I have a lot of fun watching it. The kids are so cute and honest, haha. :)

Thank you ^^ And yep, I'm your neighbour for now.. but in a few weeks we'll live in the same country keke. I hope it turns out well. At least I know the people I'll be living with and working for..

Aren't Gap Dong and Hotel King sort of serious dramas though? At least I heard Hotel King was partly melo and partly comedy and partly makjang? I considered watching that too but I don't know how much time I'll have for dramas coming next month.. oh well we'll see ^^

The Return Of Superman is a lot of fun~~ The KBSWorld YouTube channel subs it. If you check the playlist there is also some best of videos that are about ten minutes maximum, and you can check those to see if you'd like the show? If you're interested, that is ;)

Hihi thank youuu :) I hope to finish at least the first draft this month~

I'm from the Netherlands! So I'm not moving too far away, just moving to the neighbouring country, lol. I'm moving to Bad Aibling/München (I'll primarily be in Bad Aibling, but also München from time to time) for an internship. I studied Germanistik as my Bachelor, and now for my Master (Intercultural Communication) I'll be putting both my newfound culture knowledge as well as my language skills to the test by working in a German company... I'm a bit nervous ;)

Ohh so you're watching a few serious dramas at the moment huh? :) Hope you're enjoying them! As for The Return Of Superman - it's a variety show about 4 celebrity dads and their kids. The show is shot over 2-day-periods when mom is absent and shows dad-kid bonding time. I love it. :D

Hey hey ^^

It's nice to meet you too! Well, I can only say I'm really busy because I'm both writing my master thesis and preparing to move to Germany for a few months on May 2nd XD But besides that I'm very well, how are you? :

I'm currently watching Bride Of The Century (which was really fun for eps 2-8 but has now become slightly.. less captivating somehow, though I'm still liking it.. sort of), Three Days (Yoochunnn and Park Ha Sunnn and ahjusshiiis <3), Amour & Pâtisserie (quite nice TW-drama even if the subs take forever) and the variety show The Return Of Superman (too adorable for words) :D What are you watching?

And haha thank you, I'm glad you like my profile ^^ Yours is nice too!

..discussing several episodic real-life issues: Mainly the fact that the people in the shop help their costumers through a hard time with... cake. The ep I watched yesterday discussed anorexia e.g.

Overall the drama isn't really perfect, but there's quite a few layers to it, a lot of background-story that hasn't been fully explored yet, and though it has some exaggerated scenes, characters and acting... I like the drama because it's surprisingly mature? They deal with some heavy issues and though I don't agree with everything they do I do find it interesting enough to keep watching whenever the subs come out.
