For me, it's still Micky first, but that's also because of ages. YooHwan is 4 years younger than me, but Micky is less than a year older.

This was my first historical drama...I loved it so much that I have no problem watching them anymore!

Although I LOVE the leads, I've got a crush on YongSool. He's just too cute in his always-late-for-the-joke/situation-way.

3 episodes this week!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!

First ep. was interesting, but I'm not sure if I'll watch it religiously, since I'm pretty tied up with KPTUA, RTP, Absolute BF, and Fondant Garden right now.

Ep. 2- Hong Kong Barbie returns-if anyone knows what I'm talking about, lol.

I agree! Typically, even if it's not my genre--if I'm engaged, I'm with it to the end. :) Sorry it took me a couple of days.

That's what it looked like to me! I'm so sad they are pping ep.8 OMOoooo!

Such a cute drama!

Oh, I forgot. You asked if I was watching any interesting things currently. Though we don't like the same genres, the show The Rooftop Prince does have elements of Mystery in it. All of the events stem from an event in the past, and the time-travel involved seems to have something to do with this event. It's also hella funny and cute, so it's a good mix.

One of my favorite j-actors. He's so versatile in his acting, and he's unbelievably funny.

The anime was the first anime I watched, and the manga is the first one I started reading.

I love Tama-chan, but I seriously fell for Kyouya. ;)

They are having the movie instead. I expect that it will tie up the loose ends.

I know that there are some upcoming, but not yet airing drama which are detective dramas. One is called Mirenko Holmes no Suiri. It's about a failed detective who meets a talking cat with high deductive powers. I can't remember the name of the other, but it's about the Evidence Validation department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police and how one cop decides to truly investigate cases before validating them.

first episode is funny...heehee jiro...

I'm from Dayton, Ohio. I've lived there all my life. Yeah, English is my major. I get to take some fun classes though. Last semester, I took a class on the Graphic Novel as Literature. It was really fun, and I got to draw my own graphic narrative for my final project.

That's fine if you need to sleep. I completely understand; normally, I would be sleeping now, but I am on a short break from school until Tuesday. No, I don't really have experience as a teacher yet. I'm mostly going straight in to teaching via my English degree, so I haven't had to take education courses. I am trying to consider all of my options right now; since my university has a master's program, I am going to most likely go there til I receive my Masters. Then, I will have to move on elsewhere,and I'm not sure whether I'm going to move from where I'm at now or not. I hope you get that scholarship; it sounds like a wonderful opportunity and if you are anything like me, I wouldn't like if I couldn't grasp a hold of it. :)Oyasumi nasai. If I don't get back to you right away, it's probably because of homework (because I've been dawdling...:/).

Still, working for the Korean embassy will be so cool! I don't speak any Korean (except for the few phrases that people pick up in drama), and I wasn't into k-dramas until last year. City Hunter played a huge role in changing my mind.
I always wanted to be an actress of some sort, but because I sang well, I had to choose which of the fine arts to pursue in school since I was on a college-prep track. I do enjoy dramas the most; for me, manga just passes the time, which is nice during the long summer vacations that I don't particularly enjoy at times. I have an insane work ethic, and vacations are nice, but I prefer studying. I know, it's weird.

Miura Haruma wa sugoi ne. Yamapi mo! YamaNade wa chotto okashii, demo watashi ga suki desu. Kami no Shizuku o mimasen. 1 pound no fukuin wa omoshiroi desu. Nobuta wo Produce mo tanoshikatta desu. It's cool that we started watching in the same year. Hana Kimi was my first drama, btw, but like you, Gokusen holds a pretty close place in my heart. If I ever teach English in Japan, I would like to have the fortitude that Yankumi has. I think that if you like Gokusen, you'd like the manga, but I can understand why people don't read them. I just like the ending better, that's all. Demo, manga ni, Odagiri ga imasen. :/ Odagiri=win!
