Ahhh! The much awaited C.N. Blue mv arrival!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the song and them. They are officially one of my favorite bands. I stayed up late last night to watch this.
Their live performance debut is tomorrow! Looks like I have some late night staying up to do as well.

Okay guys, I finished My Girl this morning and I think the ending was a bit rushed. Ehhhh. They kinda squeezed a lot of things together in the last 30 minutes so it was a bit frantic and hard to keep up with. But still, it was an amazing series. I'll probably rewatch it some time since it was very entertaining.

Anyways, I started My Name is Kim Sam-Soon also. Seriously, I don't know how I find the time to watch all these dramas, especially that I have so many classes. I guess I'm still lucky that my professors are being lazy and not coming in, haha.

I'm on the 5th episode already, woo hoo!

 

[Leeroi]

And that C.N. Blue song is just too good! Like I said, it's very different. And atleast they're not as tragic as FT Island, haha.

 

[parkmin90]

leeroi- Yes. I wasn't too crazy about the ending of My Girl compared to the rest of the series, but it all works out well. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I knew you would. HAHA. It's definitely worth rewatching, over and over again.

C.N. Blue's song is a hit! So many people are liking how it's unique and different and not like the rest of the boy group songs. They have such a cool style as well. I like Jung Yong Hwa's voice. It's sweet and one of those voices that I can hear over and over again and still .
I can't wait for their mini-album! It'll be AWESOME!

guys, have you tried dramacrazy.net? It's my online source of korean dramas and I download the videos via an FLV downloader and convert it to an iPod mp4. Anyway, is Kim Sam Soon any good? I didn't have the chance to watch it.

Yes! I've tried that site, but lots of their videos are faulty. It's sort of like mysoju, but dramacrazy.net has a great library of dramas!
Watch Kim Sam Soon!! It's great! You'll love it! Tell us what you think of it when you're watching it! It's funny like My Girl!

^ There's a Filipino remake of this actually and I found it horrifying. Will download the episodes later. Full House! I'm liking it at the moment. I've watched it before but only in passing. This time I'm trying to watch it again and it's been so far.

I watched Full House sooo long ago so it's kind of hazy, but I do remember watching it. It was a cute storyline as well. My Name is Kim Samsoon was great because it's somewhat realistic and the main actress portrays an average, not-too-skinny woman, living in Korea where women like her aren't well accepted. It's good!!!!

 

[Leeroi]

I'm loving My Name Is Kim Sam Soon at the moment. It's very realistic, which I like. None of the characters are overly complicated and there's really no character who wants to ruin things just for the heck of ruining things (I hate those because there's no such people in the world, well.... in the daily life anyways).

C.N. Blue just had their first debut performance on Music Bank!

 

[parkmin90]

ahhhh thank you thank you! I slept too early last night to watch their live debut!! I was just about to go look for it, but thanks so much for posting their live debut!
It was great! AH go C.N. Blue! (They looked a little nervous though but it's alright!) I'm sure first performances are very nerve-wrecking! WHOA! They did an awesome job and what a catchy song!

Yes, My Name is Kim Samsoon is great. The drama is awesome and I'm sure many girls can relate to the main character. The guy (Hyunbin) is very attractive also! Nice style too.

 

[Leeroi]

I have a few more episodes of My Name is Kim Sam Soon and I'm dyyyiiinnggg dyyyiinnggg to finish it already. Haha.

It's kinda interesting to see the difference between the male actors from a few years ago and the male actors now. The male actors then look more manly. Now they look like ummmm.... "grown up boys", with an emphasis on the word "boys". I guess it's the trend and thank goodness for that since I still look like I should be in middle school, lmfao.

LOL! You're almost finished? You are crazy, but crazy in a good way!!
I wish I could get through dramas in a few days, but it's kind of hard for me since I end up fast forwarding and missing out on the important stuff.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! The acting is so natural in it so it helps!

I think the reason why the male actors then seemed more manly was because their acting was a lot better in my opinion. I mean, nowadays, the acting seems to come second to the looks and well... lots of the new faces these days are pretty faces (which I don't mind ) but sometimes the acting is just not all there. But I also think it's a trend since we definitely saw this in Boys Over Flowers (kkotminam = pretty boys). I personally liked the more masculine figures in the older dramas. Maybe that's why I like them better than the newer ones these days.

Anyways, looks like you have to figure out what you're going to watch next!

Yup, I have like 6 more episodes to go. I'll probably finish them tonight or early tomorrow morning. Thank goodness for weekends!

I know! Even the female actresses now look like "girls". Ehhhh. I guess it's the obsession with youth, but it doesn't really work with very mature story lines. And some more womanly/manly looking actors/actresses actually look young. Have you seen Kim Bum lately? He looks very tired and look very old compared to about a year ago. And it didn't help that he slimmed down without even getting alot of muscle mass. Thank goodness BOF had a very light and fun story line or else it wouldn't make sense; except whenever the boys would yell at each other or fight it was kinda funny because you can tell they don't want to make ugly faces. In You're Beautiful the boys were wearing more makeup than the girls, haha.

Seriously, My Girl alone had better acting than BOF, You're Beautiful, Dream, and Shining Inheritance all combined. And the story lines then were so much better.

I know! I have nothing on my list right now that I can watch! I have 6hours to figure it out. And I have to find a place to download them. I hate it when websites use megaupload because the download limit is soooo strict that I can only download one episode every 2 hours. Wished more sites would use mediafire, I can practically download a whole series in less than 3 hours. Haha.

 

[parkmin90]

Hmmm! We gotta find a good drama for you to watch after Kim Samsoon! What kind of drama are you in the mood for? Something more serious? Something light? Melodramatic? A little bit of everything? HAHA. I feel like a chef right now. "A pinch of this and a little bit of that?"

I think you'll have more luck with the older dramas since you want to download dramas. I have some dramas in mind right now.... Just want to hear what you're in the mood for now. ^o^

I'm in the mood for more romantic dramas.

I don't care if it's comedy or completely melodramatic, as long as it has romance written all over it. I like seeing people cry. If that makes me a bad person, then so be it.

After watching a lot of dramas, I have to say MBC has the worse dramas currently. And their the guiltiest of using idol singers (especially from boy bands) to attract viewers.

Leeroi, you must watch Winter Sonata. It's very romantic and it's a classic. I think most korean drama lovers have seen this or will need to see it once in their life. It was such a hit and there are still some people raving about it. Also, I think you will like Lovers in Paris. But I would check out Winter Sonata first. There's a lot of crying in it and it's ooooh so good.

 

[parkmin90]

The saddest korean drama I've seen was Glass Slippers (2002). It's really old I know, but it was sooo sad. I cried so much.

 

[Leeroi]

I watched Winter Sonata and Lovers in Paris last year, but I wasn't obsessed with dramas then. I kinda watched them to pass time so I can't really remember anything from them.

The main girl in Winter Sonata was in Stairway to Heaven right? Oh man, she made me cry a lot. Like a whole lot. And it made it worse because the illness she had in Stairway to Heaven is similar to what my grandmother died from last month and it didn't help that I watched Stairway to Heaven a week before. I still rewatch the last few episodes of Stairway to Heaven and never can have a dry eye, seriously. It's probably the best drama of all time.

Hmm. If you've already seen Winter Sonata.. have you seen Autumn Story? (It's old). Song Hye Gyo from Full House is in it and she's so young in Autumn Story! Have you seen I'm Sorry, I Love You? Snow Queen? Well, I didn't really like Snow Queen, but it was sad. Those are all sad. I can list more, but these are a good amount of sadness.

Yes, the main girl, Choi Ji Woo from Winter Sonata was in Stairway to Heaven. It is a great drama-- both of them. She really knows how to cry.
