All of the above and then some


- Kdramas make me wish I was born Korean (pathetic I know heehehee)


- was never into instant noodles but now Kdramas make me devour them by the carton loads. During drama binges mind you. Plus the requisite boiled eggs

- you use korean expressions?? HA! I even THINK in Korean ie my thoughts are translated to everyday Korean. Jebal/Chebal (please) pali pali (hurry) nomunomunomu (very very very much) and other thoughts run daily through my mind whole going over everyday tasks

- Kdramas make me have a bias whose 700+ photos adorn my phone and lappy (take a wild guess who )


And sooo many more, too numerous to mention.

But seriously who else wants to hang out at a Korean public bath house?

Or go to a street side spot for some soju and roasted meats/ pig skins?

Or even rent out a karaoke room and sing along to our fave Kdrama OST?

If yes count me in! We could do the group event thing they do in almost every Kdrama

Bais is the vampire whose photo gave me the creeps.

There are no bath houses in this part of the world we live in, a bit sad.

I don't mind some roast meat wrapped up in lettuce. -how do those guys do it though? They eat so much and never get fat.

I can do the singing thing anytime.

And I like that Love is the Moment song o, don't mind me.

Pali pali and nomunomu, I learnt that from Good Doctor.

While the polls continue, here are some of the things Kdramas make me do;

1) They make me forget how important sleep is: I'm like I'll just watch the first 2 episodes and sleep, but I'll greedily watch another episode, and another, especially when there is light, before I discover it's almost 6am and I have classes in the morning. Needless to say, I'm pretty much useless the whole morning as I'll be dozing and dreaming a drama.

2) I find myself using K expressions in everyday life: I won't know when 'Aigoo' will slip outta my mouth when tired or frustrated, or replying someone with 'Araso' and they're wondering what is this one saying? Lol

3) I begin to sing (chewing my mouth sometimes) and dance to their OSTs. Kdrama OST can be really great, except when they annoy you by being played over and over in almost every scene. I thought 'Almost Paradise' in BOF was bad till I watched the Heirs where Love was always the Moment.

4) I want to eat noodles with chopsticks. I find it cute when they're downing Ramyun and Jjajjangmyun with chopsticks and I tried it once using pencils. Apart from the fact that it was unhygienic, no one told me to quit being silly and get a fork, lol.

5) Here comes the materialistic part - I want a Chaebol boyfriend. Since 50% of Kdrama guys are 2nd and 3rd generation chaebols, I want one . Who wouldn't want a Gu Jun Pyo that'll want to take me to Japan just to eat crabs, or fly me to New Caledonia for the weekend, plus taking my best friend along so I'll not get lonely during the trip.

6) Making me laugh like a mad person in the middle of the night during a funny scene, or bang my legs on the bed in frustration. Kdramas are sweeter at night though

So guys, what does Kdrama do to you?
Aida13, ellab, hilda90, kallmemrB,

Aida13:
Must be the pinner's fave actors. I just liked that I could now place some actors I'm not so familiar with.

Ok, I get it now.

Aida13:
Saw this on Pinterest and agree all the way with this list. See any of your faves? Not many pretty boy flower boys here...


The top 20 on the list: Jang Dong Gun Won Bin Bae Yong Joon Joo Jin Mo Jo In Sung Lee Jun Ki Daniel Henney Dennis Oh So Ji Seob Rain Yoon Sang Hyun Lee Min Ho Kim Hyun Joong Kim Bum Jang Geun Seok Lee Seung Gi Choi Min Shik Song Seung Heon Kwon Sang Woo Ha Jung Woo

What's with the list? Looks? Acting? Fanbase?

hilda90:
IM YOONA VS BAE SUZY

Yoona!










She has bow legs sha

Aida13:
Awwww be fair

If it was a poll about kisses we know that female will NOT even be in the running.

But since it's about looks... She ain't so bad. Just has a pouty face I don't really admire..

After Healer I realized how truly beautiful Park Min Young is. Even with the bad hairstyle and zero makeup, she looked gorgeous.

She cut her hair for the role, she said it suited the character better. She rocks short hair well - try watching her in Man of Honor.

Aida13:
In terms of beurrifulness my pick is.....




PARK MIN YOUNG

In terms of dead fish-ness my pick is.....




*coughs*

hilda90:
PARK SHIN HYE VS PARK MIN YOUNG

choose the most beautiful

Park Min Young-Sin.

Naijasinglegirl:
I also want to use this opportunity to thank my friends from Nairaland for voting my blog (http://www.naijasinglegirl.com) as the best Nigerian humour blog and best personal/lifestyle blog. we won Thank you.

Congratulations!

Funny!

Aida13:
And she had the same issues with Blood. But I loved her in Angel Eyes... at least before she started her noble idiocy

You people are teaching me a lot on this thread oooh

noble idiocy

fan service


And other terms I'm discovering everyday

You forgot to add @ellab's favourite: dead fish kisses.

Aida13:
I think so...never saw it but I heard about it. About 100 episodes or so right I remember someone complaining somewhere about it.

It wasn't your average 16 to 24 episodes weekly drama, it was a daily drama hence the long episodes.
Oh! And save yourself the stress, Geum Jan Di was the name of Ku Hye Sun's character in BOF. Some fans disliked her in the role saying her acting was too stiff, facial expressions were bleh, yada, yada, yada...

ellab:
looking forward to new dramas.
the producer
jeju Gatsby (can't recall d new Name)
orange marmalade
vampire scholar
school 2015

currently watching missing noir.. kang haneul is a good actor.

School 2015 starts next week Monday! it stars Kim So-Hyun one of my best child -wait, she's a teenager already- actresses.
Orange Marmalade too stars Yeo Jingoo the stone handsome teen actor.
2015 is a year of good dramas.

Aida13:
NEW DRAMA ALERT!!!!!


This drama looks promising and comes from my second ever crush back then Kim Bum was heartbreaking in Jung Yi Goddess of Fire. I've only seen him in there and maybe in a few episodes of BOF. I'm looking forward to this new drama of his coming in June. I think it's his first lead role...now this is how you give someone a lead role, starting small. Not giving them a vampire-themed drama that calls for serious acting skills from both male and female leads respectively

Kim Bum's new drama coming June 2015 from tvN.....


"Hide Identity"

Kim Beom and Yoon So-yi (from Warrior Baek dong soo - the archer girl, daughter to female earth lord)

Her character is a police officer and works on the investigation team of the cyber crime division. She then joins the Investigation 5 team, a police unit formed to battle violent crimes using undercover operations.

-----Looks like something interesting. No paranormal or supernatural boogaloo like from Girl who Sees Smells

Kim Bum fans take note...

Isn't that the girl from Angel's Revenge?

Aida13:
Soooo looking forward to some gorgeous costumes, makeup and feels feels feels!! Do you know, to me the best ever costume design in period drama was from Empress KI? No other drama has been able to beat it in my opinion. Be it Emperor Toghon/Tahwan's golden and lush robes, Empress Ki's banging dresses, Emperess Dowager's gowns, Tal Tal's silvery armour, even King Koryo's funny looking Koryo robes were all so freaking awesome. I look forward to such delightfulness in Night Strolling Scholar.

My guess is because E. Ki was mainly set in Yuan. Comparing Yuan to Joseon, there's a difference in the dressing style; like Joseon Kings always wear that big red robe with a black cap (No Joseon King has ever looked better than Kim Soo Hyun), the Yuan Emperor wears different colours of fitted robes.
The Joseon Queens/ Dowagers wear hanbok skirt and blouse with their hairs packed and kept in place with long hairpins, Yuan Empresses/ Dowagers wear finer gowns with somewhat real crowns, and jewelry pieces like long gold earrings and neck pieces- which is absent in Joseon queens. Etc, etc.
As for Tal x2, he looks good in anything he wears, especially with that hair. I guess the difference is Yuan/ Joseon setting, I could be wrong though.

Aida13:
Oh wooow great news yippeeee. Thanks! First page google or maybe 2,33345th page?? Heehee...I hope first though. That's waaaay more motivating.



SIGH====you're right about not giving up. AS IF. You know I got much love for LJG. So I looked up more photos of Lee Yoo Bi. I'm beginning to imagine her in the role of a cross-dressing noble woman. I will have to completely erase my image of her from Pinocchio because she was so girly and dorky there with those puff puff cheeks


Oh yes I meant Park Min Young from Healer. She had a nice face for cross-dressing. I mean we ALL knew she looked like a girl in Sungk Scandal but still, I liked her there.

Ha Ji Won did the cross-dressing thing so well too in Empress KI. At least Lee Yoo Bi will have a lot of other women to inspire her what to do. I just hope she can handle the mega-watt chemistry king that is LEE JOON Ki. Cos oppa's got smexy in DROVES!!!!


Thanks for the encouragement jare. I will keep an open mind. Let's do this!!!

First page google, last article though.
While I'm happy for LYB in her leading role -everyone deserves a chance-, I'm a bit worried for her. She might get criticized a lot for any mistake, I mean, some peeps are saying LJK deserves a seasoned leading lady and all. I wish her the very best though.
That 1st pic you posted, it gives me the vampire creeps... In a good way.

Aida13:
Maybe. Like after episode one and they see she looks like a JOKE in a hanbok. Remember Shin Min Young in Sungkyunkwan Scandal? Now that's a girl who can pull it off.


Anyway I'm not really bothered. Will look ever forward to Lee Joon Gi's OTHER future projects. Cos I rest my case on this one.

Shin MY or Park MY?
You shouldn't really give up on Night Strolling Scholar though, I can remember how pumped up you were about it.






But there was so much drama attached to the drama sha. They couldn't get a definite leading man till LJK took up the role. The leading female role too has issues, and the one that finally got it, well....


Oh! And I did a google search on Night Strolling Scholar and 'Idreamedadrama' came up.

[quote author= post=32997373]FIXED[/quote]I just checked it now, thank you.

Aida13:
Big Fat



[size=48pt]MISS[/size]


!!!!!

I've never seen you this upset about a drama which hasn't even begun airing yet! Don't worry, June is still far away. Hopefully by then, maybe, we'll get a change of actress.

Aida13:
It's not too late to protest. I don't mind to use my blog to vent my displeasure. Like what the fffffff is this.


Whose bright idea was this seriously. So I can find them and pinch them where it hurts the most. Like the balls

Lwkmd! I have an idea. Fly to SK, visit the broadcasting network, look for the PD and pinch him.



Stop worrying yourself, the deed has been done already.
But I'm trying to imagine LYB as a cross-dresser. Hit or miss?

Aida13:
But this girl is too dorky for him now. I like womanly women for LJK, like the actress in Joseon Gunman named Nam Sang-mi. Some people made all sorts of negative comments about her but for me she was believable next to LJK. But this LYB looks too childish. If you know how downed I am about this you won't try to console me


Yes LJK can make any project work but do you know how much I've been looking forward to this? I actually prefer the second female lead for LJK. ))sigh((

Not a good start at all. I only hope LYB won't pull down the drama for my Joon Gi. He really deserves better. Some actresses make great second or third leads, never the main chick. And to me that's LYB's persona. Should be the bridesmaid never the bride yakk yakk I'm going to be beefing her as badly as people were beefing Gu Hye Sun in Blood


Maybe that will help me feel better about this.

I know what you mean lol, their on-screen chemistry might be wayyy off, but then what to do? She has already been casted. I also wished Kim So-Eun was female lead instead of 2nd lead.

Beautiful Nam Sang-Mi, she got married recently. Like 2,3 months ago.

Aida13:
It's script reading galore---so that means there's hope for our upcoming dramas such as Masked Prosecutor (Joo Sang Wook) and Scholar Walks the Night (Lee Joon Gi).

Finally found out who Lee Yoo Bi is WHAAAT. I mean I liked her in Gu Family Book and she was cool in Pinocchio. But as female lead with Lee Jun Ki...I don't know about this. I thought I could take anyone but damn. She doesn't inspire much faith in me. Oh well too bad.

The upcoming dramas look promising, and I'm totally anticipating them.
About LYB, never say never. I felt the same way about Ahn Jae-Hyeon in Blood, but he proved me wrong. Besides, LJK always makes every project he is in work!

vikkytan:
who do you think is the most beautiful girl on empress ki

No one was ugly -except the consorts - IMO, Tanasiri was the most beautiful. Then Nyang and Yon Bisu.

Aida13:
Bayan was just annoying in my opinion something you call waste of space. Don't care to even remember what happened to her in the end.

Her most memorable crime was when she had Yon hanged before her very eyes. That gave me the shivers though.

Waste of space?
I agree.

ellab:
and she was the survivor

Everything about that girl is badas5! From little girl to boy to servant to consort to chief consort then to Empress. What a promotion!

ellab:
she's so cool

Wookie's laugh is crazy, and the Koryo King's expression, epic!

ellab:
she's so cool

so true!! Lol.




This is the best night ever!!!!

ellab:
true

Kolta's face though.

Aida13:
_tried to kill Nyang with Asian juju

Asian juju though.
That juju was terrible. I guess it isn't only in Nigeria that one gets chased in the dream by hounds.

Aida13:
Kai I'm laughing sooo hard.. That bunny scene though

That second Empress was tame compared to Tanasiri WHAAT. I mean HOW can you forget Tanasiri 's crimes??

_she killed a pregnant woman and all her servants

_killed the women monks and burned their monastery.

_tried to kill Nyang with Asian juju

_shot and tried to kill Nyang during the royal hunt

Haba

And many more.

Tanasiri has El Temur's blood, I didn't expect anything less from her. She was bold and commited her crimes right in Nyang's face, unlike Bayan that smiled all the time like a weakling all the while twisting a knife at Nyang's back.

The part that got my mum mad with Tana was the killing of the pregnant woman. She couldn't get over it.

vikkytan:
@ellab actually I don't hate jchw I don't just like his character on empress ki.. such a corward king. so many of his acting were not tollerabble to me... he cares only about his life and his love for empress I almost hit him when I saw him saving the empress I was like so a coward who cares so much about his life can lay his life down to save someone else? so annoying. u people should. not forget DAT he killed the empress father with his tongue.. he kept on attacking the king of goryeo.. untill he later had a chance to kill him and the king.s dealth was a shame he dies at a hand of an idiot.. empress fell in love with him because of pity he was such a weak king... he kept on hating the little cute maha till he died. this one of the reason I hate his character s the most there were so many fake tears he posses .. tal tal gave him a run for his beauty. I was expecting tal tal and empress should end up together. and young feiso and king of goryeo . but at the end of the day it was a big dissapoitment ..

and on the episode 4 sung ride with the emperor because she din.not want to incovinient the king of goryeo it.s all on drama beans she never liked togon .. togon had to force his love into her hearth...

and before I forget he even raped her ....

as I said I don't hate him but I din.not love his character..

Wow! You really do hate his character there.
I agree he was a bit of a baby though, but it was one of the things that made him cute, and togon didn't really force his way into her heart, she grew to love him.
As for that 'rape' scene, no comment.
