Korean Entertainment & Entertainers

[sweetpop]

IRIS had me on the edge of my seat in nearly all the episodes!! I loved the first two episodes, it was so light hearted and funny I thought, but then when things started getting nasty with the pulling out of guns.. chk-chk-bang!!
Is anyone here a fan of BigBang? YG family?
Have any of you guys seen "You're Beautiful"? Ahhh....
i haven't watched any dramas lately, with uni just starting again for me. I forgot how draining it was

Are you guys looking forward to any new dramas? I heard that Lee Minho has a new drama out soon, and I wanna see how that is ^^

I'm a big big big fan of Big Bang. They're really talented and can actually sing LIVE! Next to DBSK, I think they're one of the most perfect groups out working right now.

I think everyone here have watched You're Beautiful. Haha. And everyone here can kinda agree that it was better than BOF in terms of acting and over all story line.

I was looking at the ratings for You're Beautiful and I can't believe how low the ratings are! I guess it didn't do so well since it was up against Iris and stuff. Definitely underrated in that department.

Have anyone here watched Shining Inheritance? The ratings for it was insane! The last few episodes had almost half of all people watching tv watching it.

oh and sweetpop, I can't wait for Lee Minho's new drama. He's going to be playing a wannabe gay person right? Haha. Sounds hilarious. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

I'm waiting for all the subs for The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry. I have such a soft spot for Kim Bum. I know the drama is very bad, but I just can't help and hope that he does well with his career. It's unfortunate that he can't follow up his BOF performance.

I can't remember if I've asked this before, but has anyone seen My Little Bride?

The reason why the ratings for You're Beautiful was because when it was airing, IRIS was airing at the same time. People chose to watch IRIS on t.v. and then watch You're Beautiful later when it was streaming online. LOL. You can't watch two things at the same time. I heard that You're Beautiful had a really high online rating though! It really deserved it. I loved You're Beautiful!!

I think Shining Inheritance was a major hit in Korea! It was so hot that they extended the number of episodes and also made a Shining Inheritance Special which was also a high rating! =)

My aunt was watching The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry and she told me that it's not too bad. Hmmmm I might give it a try? Kim Bum did a fabulous job in East of Eden, I have to admit!

Are you talking about the movie? The one with Moon Geunyoung and Kim Raewon? It was such an adorable movie!

 

[loonaka]

yeah that's the one^^

How come Jandi and Jun Pyo never act like a real couple? Or is this a portrait of a Korean relationship?

I think that's the disappointing part of the whole drama. The actual good guy never actually gets the girl. This is very cliche in almost every romantic korean dramas that has love triangles.... Full House, You're Beautiful, BOF, etc etc.

Nahhh, this isn't true for Korean teenagers.

But itsn't this show based on a Japanese manga?

Yes, it was based on the Japanese manga, but it's the "koreanized" version of it. There are three versions of the Japanese manga, which include the Japanese and Taiwanese one. They are all different in many ways and in my opinion, the korean version seemed like the couple (Jandi and Junpyo) were sort of awkward all the time. Also, there were so many obstacles that got in the way--- his fiancee and his mom. But I don't know... this is just my opinion.

 

[Leeroi]

Yeah, the Japanese version, or Japanese dramas in general aren't as excessively dramatic. Haha.

I've seen some parts of the Japanese show on youtube and I have to say that I think the boys in the Korean version is a bit dreamier and I'm not saying that to be mean and def not just because I'm Korean

 

[Leeroi]

I think all the actors/actresses in the Korean version look better in general. Haha. Talent wise, I deno....

Did you watch the whole thing already?

The acting IMO is a bit pathetic But I don't really mind it.
I haven't seen it all, but I'm on EP 13 or something now.

[Leeroi]
