The Problematic of the Unproblematic

When I went shower (+ bath) scene crazy and scored big thanks to YouTube, I also found quite a lot of shower scenes that I simply cannot place. But I'm sure that the combined brain power of KDrama lovers will succeed! Who can name these dramas? Unknown Shower Scene 1   Identified! by various commentors as Thank You (2007). Jang Hyuk! Unknown Shower Scene 2 (most likely) identified! by lili as Bae Soo Bin in Temptation of an Angel (2009) Unknown Shower Scene 3 (most likely) identified! by lili as Park Hae Jin in East of Eden (2008/2009) Unknown Shower Scene 4 (Probably) identified! by Anonymous and Anonymous (who seems to be enz) as Delightful Girl Choon Hyang (2005). So this would be Uhm Tae Woong. Unknown Shower Scene 5 Identified! by kopytko (with the help of latteholic) as She is Nineteen (2004). So this is Yoon Kye Sang? Unknown Shower Scene 6 Identified! by kopytko as Love Story in Harvard (2004/5). This is Kim Rae Won, wh...

While watching Time Between Dog and Wolf I couldn't resist taking some screen caps of Lee Jun-ki. There are so many beautiful close-up shots of him! Okay, I admit, it's not "some" screen caps ... but A LOT of screen caps. And this is only after 8 episodes. There will be more ...

An-yeong!! So you've just finished your first Kdrama (congratulations!!) and you're ready to delve into the wacky world of the Hallyu fan (watch your step... many have been *slices at neck* by kakashi....*whispers* stay away from Shi-Hoo-ssi) So to help you along I've prepared a glossary of words/acronyms you'll encounter as you venture off into this brave new world *cue dramatic music* But First!!! 1) This is Lee Min Ho....he is Lee Min Hot. Everybody will understand that you like him. There is no shame in it.  2)  This is Park Shi Hoo...I can't comment on his looks because I value my life....and Kakashi is a secret agent (oops! sorry! I promised not to say that) Well since this is my last post ever (secret agents to like being exposed. Sorry Unnie!).... Lets get on with the Glossary!!! (Not in alphabetical order)   a. MV : Music Video (no explanation needed)   b. CF : Commercial Film (I dunno why *shrug*)...

Did you think there was a liiiiittle bit too much attention given to some random eye cream in Cheongdamdong Alice , episode 11? Lovely product placement ... NOT! Totally, utterly, hilariously random bit of product placement! Why in hell would Cha Seung-jo apply morning eye cream to his eyes when talking about his marriage proposal to hottie Doc? And it wasn't even in the morning! In case you don't mind such details and want to buy the cream, here it is: Only 42'000 Won? That's almost nothing, right? I am considering ... If it makes me look like PSH, I'll buy the whole stock! (In all seriousness: somebody should set up a service in South Korea, where people like me can bulk order all the products from a particular show. If you are in South Korea and you read this and you get spitting rich from turning this into a real business, make sure to send me Korean gifts every month as a sign of your appreciation, yes?) For everybody else: If you want to give me ...

For two years I've had my eye on Song Joong Ki. It's no surprise that I've discovered, especially after ten weeks of Nice Guy followed by the big screen experience of Werewolf Boy, that Song Joong Ki is more than just a pretty face--he can act. Really, really, well!  Not only that, but his voice is awesome, his smile contagious, and he carries himself with both confidence and an air of humility. He's mastered the art of not only eye-loving, but eye-hating, eye-lusting, and eye-hurting (for those in need of an eye-acting explanation, refer to this post .) Suddenly I found myself thinking--wow, this guy may well be at the top of my "Actor Who Rocks My World" list! I came to this conclusion because of 1) The audible gasp that came out of my mouth when Kang Maru showed up with his sunglasses and new hairdo in episode 9 of Nice Guy. And the constant rewinding of that scene. 2) The way I practically catapulted out of my seat when, while flippi...

My interest in Big Bang began to develop when I decided to join a group of noonas for their Alive concert in November. Let's face it, Kdrama lover to Kpop lover is a natural progression. My specific interest in Seungri developed quite by accident. As a gag gift for the five of us who'd be attending, I decided to make Big Bang headbands. Miss Manners had taught me to let others pick first, so as things went, I was left with Seungri. No problem - at least his hair wasn't the color of Kool Aid (even if the cut did have a slightly Frankensteinish feel to it) and I really had no preference because honestly, at that time I could barely tell one from the other. I form attachments easily. Keeping an eye out for "my boy" at the concert was no easy task, since we were up in the nose bleed section and Seungri didn't get a lot of big screen coverage, nor did he raise the decibel level as high as the others when he walked out on stage. Hmmm....I was starting to...

Allow me to do some basic and stupid fangirling from time to time. All these analytic blog entries are giving me a headache. I came across new post-Arang-and-the-Magistrate media pics of Lee Jun-ki today. He just has the prettiest eyes ever. Well, probably not ever, but they are very, very special. But why does he look so young?! Jun-ki, I hope you get an exciting new drama project soon! One with lots of fight scenes, because I like you in fight scenes best. Sure, if you want to do a RomCom ... fine with me, too. But no movies, hear me? It's been bad enough waiting for Park Shi-hoo's return to dramaland, can't have that with you. And: don't forget to eat well and have some fun from time to time. Lee Jun-ki, hwaiting!
