Lovely article! Of his movies I would definitely recommend As One, which has a great cast (also has a reunion with Secret Garden's Ha Ji Won) and a good script. I don't like sports movies but this one totally gripped me. :)

High Kick! is indeed long, but at least episode 16 deserves a watch ;) The origin of bbuing bbuing~ http://echomoon.tumblr.com/post/23589786814/lee-jong-suk-the-origin-of-the-bbuing-bbuing-trend

Episode 5 is definitely the best episode so far! I was so upset after watching it really, having to shoot the chief was so heartbreaking.. I agree with the Korean netizens, the Chief was gone too soon! ;~; But I know he and his accomplice will come back in more flashbacks.. still, it was so upsetting! But really quite sad ultimately that in episode 6 they ended with framing Tae Kyung again. Seriously though, he's been detained proven innocent so often before by now, whereas Lee Cha Young has mostly just managed to lose suspects? I mean she's smart but not good with the physical aspect, right.. I wonder how this will turn out..

Btw, speaking of the Chief... this is quite a nice interview: http://jyjsoul.com/post/80200780194/jang-hyungsungs-sons-junseo-and-junwoo-cried-watching His kids are sweet, aww :D

Haha, as long as you have fun with the drama you watch ^^ We'll talk 3 Days when you get caught up ;)

I live in the Netherlands now, but have also lived in Vienna (Austria) for half a year. I'll be moving to Germany for 4 months now for an internship/to finish my master. It's almost time for me to be a responsible adult, ha ha ha .-.

I watched it just now! Wow... Well I'll talk with you tomorrow about it then :D

Indeed, that's the thing that shocks me about BOTC really... loads of people involved with Taeyang coorperation are just calmly planning for people to die.. money corrupts, huh..

I don't have the time to rewatch it, so I guess I'll just try to find a recap... (that and I didn't like the first ep as much, whoops)

I'm actually kind of saving my I Hear Your Voice rewatch... I'm moving countries in May and to help with the homesickness I want to rewatch some old favourites :') Queen In Hyun's Man will be up first, I think!

I saw the subs are out *g* Viki had almost finished subbing it before I went to bed yesterday, but alas I was too tired to wait up ;~; I hope to watch it soon :D <3~

I'm kind of wondering what will happen, precisely because there are so many clichés Bride Of The Century has avoided so far. But I am kind of preparing myself for his anger and their temporary break-up... if I'm prepared for it then at least it won't be a negative surprise should it happen :P

Wasn't the ghost older though? Or are there more ghosts?

Haha awesome :D I Hear Your Voice really was an exceptional drama.. :) I kind of want to rewatch it now, haha!

Oh yes 3 Days is tomorrow :D Sometimes time does fly by faster than you think!

I do so wonder what will happen with the marriage... I really want them to be happy but we're not even halfway through yet so that's definitely too much to ask at this point in time *lol* Also I wonder how he'll react when he finds out about the deception??

It seems the ghost just does whatever's necessary to protect the house - maybe they can find another way besides sacrificing the first wife's life?? It seems Kang Ju's father did not have the benefit of being able to talk to the ghost though so maybe that will be a gamechanger?

And omg I really should've listened and waited with watching but I'd already been waiting a week *sobs* The last time I was this impatient for episodes was for "I Hear Your Voice", I think. :) It's all part of the fun, no? ;)

I should've listened to you re: Bride Of The Century. But once I started watching I couldn't stop ;~; aw I felt so bad for them in these episodes though. Couldn't they just decide not to marry however? Or is that me thinking too simply?

There should definitely be more enemies, dude can't have planned the whole assassination and EMP all by himself. Maybe it'd be even more interesting if he isn't caught and there's just many people Tae Kyung needs to avoid... I don't know I'm sure I'll like w/e the show comes up with. :)

..oh no I really wanted to watch the new Bride Of The Century eps now I don't know what to doooo :(((( maybe I'll watch just one ep and leave ep 8 for later in the week.... ha I have no self control I doubt I'll manage that *sobs* But thanks for the warning ;)

Kekeke I'm too impatient, I know :D

I'm not sure if he'll get caught! But if he does, that'd make for interesting story telling for sure. Plus he's not the only guy that's involved so I wonder how it'll go down...

I know Bride Of The Century is still out quicker than many a J/T/C-drama but idk after the last two eps I suddenly got extremely hooked on the show and every day I have to wait longer makes me even more impatient xD I should probably just not expect subs to show up before Tuesday, will make the wait more bearable I'm sure :P

But yeah you're CW list is huge! I don't know how you do it really ^^

Let's hope so. I do like slower stories, I swear!, but I'm really in the mood for some excitement so I hope for it to happen, haha ;; That's more fault than the drama's fault, I guess. :)

I know darkness adds mysteriousness, and the blue palette they're working with serves its purpose quite nicely ^^ But yeah, let's hope for daytime scenes soon~

I have no clue what's going to happen next episode actually. You'd say the agent stands a better chance, as he has so many people with him, but I guess we'll see. :)

Btw, subs for Bride Of The Century are a little slow huh :( I'm grateful to the subbers of course but I just really want to see the next eps XD I'm getting a bit too impatient haha!

About the "they have to cover three days" bit... well, let's put it like this: at the end of ep 4, they had reached the point of "5.5 hours after sniping". 3 days = 72 hours, which means 5.5 hours covers only about 7-8% of the available time, even though 25% of the broadcast time is already used up. Add to that that I've heard they're covering three "3 Days" segments aka 9 days and I just don't know what to believe anymore. I really wished for there to be a bit more urgency in the drama, but it's Yoochun's drama so I'll stick around anyway (he looks quite cool in this drama).

I don't like the nighttime scenes because it's harder to watch dark scenes imo and I find it really tiring, haha. I get why it's necessary buuut...

I thought the prosecutor was a good guy at first, but then he rushed the conference and now I'm just not sure xD Guess we'll see what happens.

She's just kick-ass :D

I'm still really quite liking 3 Days, but I'm actually kind of waiting for them to raise the stakes a bit more? Also I'm kind of hoping for daytime scenes soon, it's dark so constantly. ;) I'm actually kind of wondering about the prosecutor and which side he is on. It's already been hinted at that the president is being set up by the people who really caused the massacre, I wonder if he could be one of them? Anyway.. How are you liking it?

Haha, you don't have to like Gwen. ;) But I agree with you on prefering Morgana. Morgana, from the Arthurian Legend in general I mean, is one of my overall favourite characters. There's always something to like about her, regardless of the interpretation. Such an awesome character really..

Yes yes yes 48 hours a day would be a great idea... :D

I wish I could remember who the person was... I just remember it was on LiveJournal. LJ was the place to be back in the day, huh :P
I actually really liked Gwen in the first season - I don't know what happened after that. Which is kind of sad because I'd grown quite fond of Angel Coulby but her character deviated more and more from the Gwen they'd established in S1 and that was just a shame. Morgana suffered from the same problem - but she has the advantage of being one of my favourite characters *ever*, so I still liked her, despite the fact that she was eventually reduced to "that smirking character". Oh Merlin!

Awww :( I wish I had more time to watch dramas, I feel like I'm falling behind on all the goodies that are currently airing XD

Haha, I remember someone recapping Merlin S2 and 3 as they aired saying the seasons had "plotholes the size of Spain" and that expression just always stuck with me :P But to be honest I've only seen the Merlin seasons once, as they aired, so I can't remember the particulars as they aired in 2009 and 2010.. my memory's good, but not that good ;P

OMG I KNOW the currently airing dramas are so good this year. ;;

Mostly recovered, just need to take a bit more rest than usual ;) It's actually quite relaxing, the only downside is that I don't get to watch as many dramas!

Ok, honestly, there are quite a few big, glaring plotholes in 3 Days. It doesn't necessarily have to spoil the enjoyment though.. I've seen BBC's Merlin as well e.g. which had plotholes the size of Spain and it was still enjoyable. I still enjoy 3 Days too. I still have good hopes for this drama, esp 'cause the people involved all said the script was so good. I'll be patient ^^

You'll watch it when you have time, simple as that ^^ Protect The Boss was really fun. It dragged a little in the end but overall it just made me feel really happy? A real feel-good drama imo and I just loved all of the characters. Naw now I want to watch it again!

It wasn't too bad, no worries, but my hayfever kicked in as well and I didn't have my medication yet, so everything felt a lot worse than it really was ;) It also affected my eyes so I couldn't really watch the screen and had to stay away from the computer for a bit.

whut people say 3 Days is boring? Are they even giving it a chance?? The show just started, I mean come on... I'm sure they'll raise the stakes a lot starting this week!

It'd be great to see Junsu more kekeke but I'll just satisfy myself with his concert DVDs, MVs and interviews :P As for Scent Of A Woman.. I watched the entire drama for the Junsu cameo, because just seeing the cameo didn't turn out to be enough, so I kinda know how you feel. I ended up being really invested in the drama though, so everything went better than expected XD

I'm terribly sorry for the late reply, I've been unwell ;;

Yoochun generally looks gorgeous though (I really don't get the people who say he looks ugly or old? sure he doesn't look like a teenager anymore but he grew up really well so idk what their problem is) XD But ahh it's almost time for 3 Days again I'm excited~

Musicals are great for Junsu really, it just sucks that musicals have a rather short playtime in Korea and there's about 0.0000001% of something ever being recorded on DVD so little chance of seeing him in anything, ever. :( But his cameo in Scent Of A Woman was really quite nice. I think it's on YouTube! You don't need much backstory, as long as you know the main plotpoint of the show you should be able to understand what happens, I think. :)

It's a mystery :( I heard families don't really try to stop this behaviour of these 'fans' because they're ashamed? I don't know if that's true though.

Hey the drama is still young ;) Who knows how many Yoochun goodies we might still see in the future :)

As for Junsu... I've heard he doesn't like acting in dramas. He's doing really well in the world of musicals though! He's very good as Mozart in the musical "Mozart!" (there's a DVD out with subs if you want to see it), and there's a few official vids of him in Elisabeth and December as well. I don't think he'll act in dramas soon, he's considering his next musical instead. But maybe he'll do another cameo. His cameo in "Scent Of A Woman" was quite brilliant. His twin brother is supposedly acting in dramas tho!

I'll keep that in mind ;) He sounds like a good guy. I always wonder at these fans camping outside idol's houses and agencies though..

You will go kya kya. It's a good plot and great acting, and Yoochun as well has been getting many positive comments about his acting :) I'm happy for him. ^^
