Hahahaaha. I actually don't mind if they say like one or two English words like Hello, please, thank you or bye bye. But when they go like three sentences at once, my ear will start to stand, and I'll be looking for where to hide.

Goodness anything over three words is excessive cruelty to my ears

I notice how they pick each word one by one till the whole sentence is disjointed.

Thank goodness it's only occasionally.

Then when I hear a Kdrama actor break out in perfect Americana English I go

It's rare though.

Lee min ho,s English was bad in heirs but he tried anyway,it is not easy for a korean to speak english perfectly just like how it is difficult for us to speak korea perfectly.
The only ones that speak english perfectly are those that grew up in english speaking countries like philip lee,Daniel Henney,Jang geun suk and others,so i was not bothered by his english at all while watching heirs cos i knew how difficult it was for him to pronounce a word in english,making a sentence is even harder.

Abeg LMH's English is worse than my Korean can ever be haba

In Secret Garden one woman was trying to speak English to that handsome Action School director. I think she was the one having a crush on him, can't remember. She spoke a sentence or two in English and it was like she was strangling a chicken

Lmao the guy's face was priceless. Maybe because he's a great English speaker.

What I don't like is how they'll confidently use English as if they are good with it. And the director will allow it. Soo funny.

Atk01:
I guess we'll have to get used to tuning our ears to some cringe worthy English, lol.

They do have a few Hangulish words I find cute.
Cupi - coffee
Handipone - hand phone ( mobile phone)


Skinship - this is my favourite.

Abeg leaf my countrymen jare. They try their best. At least we have an idea what they're saying....sometimes

ellab:
geez,English no fit that guy..it was so terrible

*in lee's voice*"ins nor your first time"(to dat police man who gave him shin hye's passport). cringe cringe cringe.

Omg each time he said anything in English I wanted to gag but he's still bae

Atk01:
Lol , except for very few, they should stick to Hangul or practice their English lines like a hundred times before shooting.

No matter the practice... There are just some English words Koreans can't naturally pronounce.

So unless they were born in US or learned d language very early in life, they'll sound terrible

Atk01:
I'm a fan of Filipino series, but I watch the English dubbed. I don't listen to their language. Just like when those actors in Kdramas try to speak English, I cringe and take cover.

I know!!! Remember Lee Min Ho speaking or should I say murdering English in Heirs when he was forming beach stud... Oh my gawd it was painful to hear

Atk01:
Jackie Chan and Jet Li films are the closest to Chinese cinema I have gotten.

Lmao Jet Li has some good ones from way back... Jackie Chan's classic movies of yesteryear are a treasure... Drunken Master, Monkey Shadow etc. Some are dubbed over in English but I also watch the original subbed versions. I love everything Asian so yeah, I can watch anything.

Except maybe those Phillipines or Taiwanese which I agree sound like knocking two big silver spoons together LOL

Atk01:
You also watch Chinese and HK dramas? You be boss oo.
Their language sound very funny to me, but Hangul sounds much better.

I honestly LOVE the Chinese language, almost as much as Korean. Chinese and Hong Kong movies are those popular ones everyone watches, like the ones with Donnie Yen or the Hollywood faves like Flying Daggers as well as Crouching Tiger.

And generally I admire the freaky special effects and fabulous martial arts in the old and new Chinese movies or series.

I've seen so many obscure ones that I'll have to list them one day for you lol they were awesome

Atk01:
Lmao. Where did you dig that up from? Remember, I've added more Kdramas to that list. *feeling like boss*

Oh, and you can skip watching some dramas on that list, trust me.

I was just going through the first many pages, was wondering how the whole thread began and I saw that post. And others too. Wow some of you guys have seen so many dramas!!!! Yes not all of them come highly recommended but still you guys try

Maybe because I also watch Chinese and Hong Kong movies and dramas that I've not reached my quota for Kdramas.

You should check out the backlog of the thread once in a while, it's fun. I know most of my posts were lost during the Nairaland Crash where everything wiped out lol

Lol I put X for ones I've seen. More xes mean how much more I enjoyed them. After a year I still have a long way 2 go in terms of your list

Atk01:
What's the point? He can't taste. Besides, he doesn't eat anything with more than four legs

Aaah, you know your Blood trivia Bravo

[quote author=Atk01 post=33218154][/quote]Imagine telling a guy his fashion makes it look like he's a black and white movie...

Or a gangster or a grim reaper



I don't feel bad for Ji Sang though, he gives as good as he gets. Like when he didn't bother trying Yoo Ri ta's cooking because he knew it would be horrible...

ellab:
that is d most annoying glasses I ve ever seen.I need to know d ppl who made it so I can give them a piece of my mind.he looks like Catwoman.
cutest smile, that one na smile? *wipes eyes clean* nope,that smile is creepy.

You think this pair is annoying? You should see the one he wore when he first met Yoo Ri ta. They were **gosh**

Still, come on "creepy"?? That's going too far now

Just noticed his cute smiling face has been my screensaver for months. That's saying something, right ?

Enjoying my kdrama Blood episodes catch up. How can anyone say Ahn Jae Hyun only has one stoic expression He has lots of them! And he has the cutest almost-smile. I hope he has another great drama, maybe a noona romance he "needs a good girl to blow his mind"

Episode 12 is hilarious so far...

hilda90:
I always wonder why it takes hours to film a kiss scene,anyway i prefer korean drama kisses to American kisses cos korean kisses are more decent. i stopped watching American series a long time ago, the only series i still follow are castle and suits.

Omg lol if you see my face when two American love interests kiss °_° but when it's a Kdrama kiss I go \o/


Lmaoo

ellab:
omo, no talk o. Americans ve made it a normal thing that it doesn't move me anymore but I dunno y its so hard for SK actors.
Every kiss scene must get comma inside.
if its not 10hrs,its dead fish.
if its not dead fish, its complain in interviews.
Then get wahala.

And he has a gf? with that strong face of his?Like he's been forced to smile.. mscheew. different draw soup for diff ppl. I no fit mehn.

Ouch and I thought I was mean.. Lmao

That strong face of his originated from My Love from Another Star which won him many fans and many future acting roles Kim Soo Hyun used that same look all thru YWCFTS - but I don't see you bashing him *_*

Lol

Korean actors pretend a lot and can you blame them? If you show you have a thing for your costar you're in trouble from dating rumors. For the sake of future roles, they downplay their attraction for a present or past costar. They can't keep falling for and dating everyone they work with.

I think Julia Roberts was known for that

hilda90:
lol,i watched it cos the story caught my interest. i know Ha ji won will act better than the female lead in taiwanese version

BTW, have you guys watched" to the beautiful you"? it is the only korean remake that ended up being so bad, Choi minho 's acting was so bad,which led me to debating whether he was acting or doing photoshoots, even his handsome face didn't attract me.japanese version hana kimi is much better.

Never heard of the guy but heard of the drama. Wasn't interested in yet another gender bender so I passed. Min Ho is from kpop group SHINee I gather.

Fans said the original was much better so I feel you. Koreans are interestingly, more good looking than the Japanese or at least, their actors are. So the Korean dramas get a whole lot of attention and the Japanese version of same dramas might be better but not as popular.

Atk01:
You like Noona romance.

Ooh I know those. I'm just saying that when it comes to acting she plays more natural when her costar is younger. Not necessarily that the character himself is younger. In Noona romances the guy's character is definitely known to be younger. But in most Kdramas we find female actresses with much younger costar because these chicks can pass for 19 while they're actually twenty years older than that.

The chemistry with Ji Chang Wook was insane. So I know she's good when the costar is younger and can follow her lead.

Atk01:
Tomorrow's Cantablie was originally Japanese. Oh yes! Ha Ji Won does justice to every role she takes.

I think she does better with a much younger costar. Don't ask me why lol I just wish they picked a younger guy for this one..

hilda90:
Yeah,boys before flowers originated from japan, i have watched it, the name is Hana yori dango,it was as good as the korean version, i heard the leads are engaged.

i have finished the taiwanese in time with you version,i am afraid it will spoil the fun for me when the korea version starts airing,lol

I would avoid watching that original. Wow you're tough ooo lol it would definitely affect my interest in watching the Korean remake. I don't even want to read about the original... Lmao

Atk01:
BOF itself was a remake of a Japanese version, but it was the most successful of all the remakes and has continued to remain a phenomenal Kdrama. As much as I want a sequel, if it isn't better than the existing one, it'll be a disappointment as you pointed out.


The American version was a flop, Americans shouldn't remake Kdramas. Ever.

Koreans sure know how to do remakes. Like Tomorrow's Cantibile. Heard there's a Japanese or is it Chinese original? I did know BOF originated from Japan. Now looking forward to another Korean remake, of a Taiwanese drama... Ha Ji Won 's upcoming romcom A Time With You. I know she's gonna slay it!!!

Punch- Is this the way you proposed to your wife, speaking high tech grammar?

Honourable- Of course, the business of the day when I interfaced with my
wife on matters of the heart had to be in plain Caeser’s language
and you can decipher why that had to be so. The matter in view did not permit itself of sphinxian
conundrum.

........ I read all the farrago of baloneys and vacuous bunkum
from pepper soup objurgators....

*** Omg what has pepper soup got to do with any of this again?? Can't breathe for laughing so hard...

Atk01:
Don't forget those KBS school: year dramas. School 2013, now School 2015 started yesterday.
There is only one drama I'm praying for a S2, that's BOF. I'm still hoping against all odds, and who knows, dreams come true.

Oh yes, I was also thinking of those School 2013,2015 dramas, mixed them up with the Reply dramas.

My thoughts, that those dramas were good enough as stand - alone series. Stretching to a sequel might end up badly esp if they can't recreate the glory of the last drama or even surpass it.

Heard Americans did a BOF version and it was so bad. The boys they used looked like they were middle aged. The series was really bad and got slammed big time

Atk01:
Ikr, but there is so much potential for S2 with the ending and all that. But the ratings weren't good, so I doubt that it will be extended. BOF fans have been waiting for S2 for 6 years now, them never give us. I'll be happiest of them all if.... that's a big IF...they give us.

Lol, I can't just understand. The drama is over, what next again? The same actors can't be expected to come together again to act a continuation. There might be sequels but involving a new set of actors like those Reply 1998,2015 dramas. There's a drama though I just found about... LET'S EAT. Looks like it now has a Season 2 so maybe you're right there.

hilda90:
It doesnt look like she was attracted to him,from that kiss( and other heirs bts),it looks like Lee min ho was attracted to her,who knows,maybe she played hard to get and he used Suzy as the escape route.

I've always secretly thought Bae Suzy and PSY look too much alike. Or at least they remind me of each other somehow lol

So maybe ur right... Mr Playa had to get a substitute cos maybe PSY would never play ball and date him

hilda90:
is Ahn jae hyun lying on a bed or coffin in the pic?That looks like a coffin,lol

Not to post spoilers but... That's what he sleeps in. A kind of ice-infused bed bc vampires need to keep up a certain temperature. Imagine a girlfriend risking her health to do a sleepover with Bae in that bed...

Atk01:
Was she also attracted to her Heartstrings co star? The girl can't kiss to save her life period. She needs to learn.

Lol.. Then maybe that's it. She needs major lessons.


Now this pic below makes me want to catch up on some Blood time... Fans are already moaning about missing the drama. Why do these pple always ask for a season 2 of a drama they like?? Sooo funny cos I know that's never gonna happen...

ellab:
*dies* even a hot guy wont stop d dead fish kiss o

No I just think maybe she's secretly attracted to LMH and is afraid to show it so she ends up with all these nerves that translate her into a dead kiss fish (Lmao it cracks me up to put it like that

ellab:
my thoughts on heirs kiss? don't get me started cuz I won't stop.
as for AJH (blood actor)..I bliv that's his first onscreen kiss(or first kiss in life lmao ) so I will cut him some slack.

the article mentioned my baby's kiss.. 2 hrs produced a good kiss scene ..*standing ovation for wookie*

@ standing ovation for Wookie... Lol let's give the guy a Kdrama Oscar...

Actually according to the Blood drama AJH's character had never dated or kissed either a human, vampire or dead fish before so they wanted to portray that.

Unfortunately he portrayed it TOO well. Bc according to you it might be his first kiss in life

Soo wrong tho cos I hear the guy is dating in real life. Na WA what's so hard about these kissin' scenes def

Atk01:
Lmao, funny article. That first pic though, PSH looked like she was saying her last prayers before LMH devoured her with his greedy lips. The Shark couple were funny, how could they be disappointed that they got their kiss in one take?
I read that the underwater kiss between JCW and HJW in E.Ki was filmed for an entire day!


But then, if they practice this hard, how come we still have the cases of the dead fishes?

The directors decide when finally a particular scene will have to do. So if they say the first take is good or go on to the use the 50th take... Wow. Actors are trying.

JCW and Ha Ji Won underwater petals kiss... Awww. Sometimes it's not the kiss itself (the actual liplocking) that takes time. It's the other factors like getting the many cameras all synced together at the same time, ensuring the water stays warm all through, fixing the flow of petals to look natural underwater... Lol

Dead kiss fishes are no one's fault bc some girls are still forming escaped nuns like PSY. Until she loosens up as a woman she'll always give us dead kiss fishes

I suspect she's always going to be awkward with an actor she secretly finds hot as hell LMAO

Atk01:
6 wetin, untop one kiss? You've got to be kidding me.

Don't rush it o, I already watched it and did my review on it. I just want to confirm something.

No rush.. Will just take a cool day with some four hours to relax and watch during the week.

OK so maybe I exaggerated. The kiss took 3 hours to film not 6

Same difference lol.

When you check out this article you'll laugh your head off especially when you read about Park Shin ye and her Rooftop kiss in Heirs.

Sometimes I suspect these actors deliberately mess up the kiss scene so they can do it again and again. Especially if le costar is hawt

While some guys can be just mean. Like Gong Yoo in Big kissing Suzy Bae.

Read it here:http://www.kdramastars.com/articles/80836/20150407/if-you-dont-get-that-k-drama-kiss-right-try-try-again.htm

Your thoughts ??

Atk01:
Don't read any review or spoilers oooo. I want a honest opinion from a bloodmate. Their first kiss went better than I expected joor.

That 6 second kiss took 6 hours to shoot mind you



Now I've really got to finish it lol, and get back to you asap.

Atk01:
Let me know what you think about Blood when you're done with it. How did SG go?

Going OK so far... Went more than halfway through. My attention span these days...

I saw some so-so reviews about the ending of Blood. But dedicated fans say the drama was daebak overall. Gu Hye sun apologized for her acting. And their first kiss was slammed lol. So basically I've been following all Blood news even though I still have 4-5 more episodes left. Luckily avoided major spoilers...
