    I agree, they were all great together and overall it was a great drama! I even liked the ending which is something very rare! And yeah he actually did study there =P

    It's pretty good but I hate the bad guys, they're so annoying dammit! And Joong Ki should be more important, he's awesome!

    Unnie, sorry for the late reply. Late evenings & nights at work keep me exhausted so when I come home I just make dinner & fall into bed. The next 2 weeks are gonna be even more hectic!

    We (or rather I, bcuz BF is too darn lazy to wake up early on a Sunday) don't go to church a lot. When I do go anyone in town will do. A few years ago I used to go to Skedsmøkorset Church of Christ, but I quit there bcuz I didn't like the preacher guy. The church of christ (not mormon) is the church I attend in the States too. There's an American church at Frogner that I go to from time to time, and I have a couple African friends so I've been to church with them too. It's always a fun, interesting experience. You certainly don't get bored in African churches! lol

    I've never seen a lakorn, but I've heard of them! Are they any good? You're true fan of Asian entertainment aren't you!:P

    Re: the stunt in Petty Romance. Watch & see, but let's just say it was NOT cool.

    To be honest I don't have much fun in Oslo. I go out on occasion, but its not like back home where I had a very active social life. Mostly its just work-home-? (which could be church, eating out, attending a specific event etc). In general, Oslo is a very boring city & mainly the bf & I just stay home & find ways to entertain ourselves, lol. I've heard both Stockholm & Copenhagen are way better. When we do want to let our hair down we fly home, or where that's too expensive, we go to London or even Amsterdam or Berlin. That's what I love about living here. A change of scenery is just a couple hours away. We've been here too long to still care about 17th May. We stayed in & watched movies! :-)

    There are a couple places we frequent: Grilleriet, Illegal Burger, Champagneria, Cafe Laundromat etc.

    I might go with Sungkyunkwan Scandal first, everything I watch these days seems to end up with death!
    I'll eventually get to both of them either way =P

    yup, 5 hrs of cooking. I don't think that I will be doing that much cooking EVER again. My hubby helped but he doesn't know how to cook. I made too many things, plus my brother is a vegetarian and I had to make something separate for him. But besides all of that we had fun dancing, and playing UNO. Plus my niece bought me luck because I won the most games. lol. She was my good luck charm. Next time i'm going to a bbq and watching dramas. lol. I learned my lesson.

    Thank you, it was a bit of a shock that he's gone. But I guess there's nothing that I can do. My mom just started watching dramas. We usually don't watch the same dramas. I just happened to ask her watch she was watching and she said When a Man Loves. She likes Melodramas, I'm not a fan. So she is the only reason I'm still watching it, so we can talk about it. lol. I also like watching whatever I want/ whenever I want. OMG I do the same thing, with Me too Flower. I really love that drama. I had to change up my top 5 list to add it to the list. Secret Garden, Me too flower and Playful kiss is my go to when i am bored with the dramas i'm watching. I agree with you about Yoon Shi Yoon's acting. However I didn't like his acting in Flower boy next door. I really wanted to like it but the female lead kind of killed it for me.

    It wasn't terrible though, would've been a lot worse if only Gil Dong had died but since Yi Nok also died it didn't give that "GOD WHY DID HE DIE, WHY!?" feel, and that little part at the end was also pretty nice =P
    My next historical drama shall be Iljimae, also considering Sungkyunkwan Scandal though!

    I thought it was pretty good, but I'm still not used to the whole historical thing. I really liked Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yu Ri though, they were pretty good together and the story was nice even though I felt bad for the previous king and got a bit depressed about the ending ._.

    Hey, sorry for the late reply. Kdramaland is awesome, its real life that can be a little tough. My uncle passed away so I haven't been on here like I use to be. As for the dramas Im watching... I am frustratingly watching When A Man Loves, I should of dropped it but Im watching it with my mom and she's really into it. Im also watching We got married Global Edition (I'm in love with this show, I wish it came on more than once a week.) Have u heard of it? It's not on here for me to add it to my list. Then Im watching the j drama Detective Anonymous (it has a japanese name but I cant remember it). And lastly Im supposed to be watching Gu Family Book, Salaryman, and Runaway Plan B but they are not holding my attention. What are u watching? For Memorial Day weekend I actually didn't get to watch any dramas. I was cooking for about 5 hrs, by the end of it I was too tired to even eat the food lol. But I had a good time. What did u do?

    Hey Unnie, did you get to finish watching Petty Romance with BF? That movie really cracked me up! The chemistry between the leads was great, especially when they both got angry bcuz they both thought the other was seeing other people. I thought that stunt Jung Bæ pulled in the beginning was effed up though. If I'm honest it kind of ruined the show a bit for me because only a really nasty, vindictive person does something like that. Anyway, I tried not to dwell on it and enjoyed the movie overall.

    So the male lead from Queen In-Hyun's Man is in the background of the cafe scene? Really? I totally missed him. I became a fan of him after seeing QIHM, but the drama itself was a bit of a disappointment for me. I'm gonna rewatch that scene & look for him.

    What else are you up? Here in Oslo we're enjoying some really awesome weather. Loving it after a long winter! :-)

    I prefer movies now over dramas. Solely because, movies are shorter, story develops quicker, preferable when you're studying in school and don't want to be addicted to a drama and avoid studying, and last thing, I can easily finish a film and choose a different genre or story to watch.

    I love Vaness Wu after watching Meteor Garden and Autumn's Concerto. Within the drama, Autumn's Concerto, his hair appealed to me more than Meteor Garden. I don't like Asian guys with long hair. It's something that I've discovered over this past year.

    Jang Geun Suk was amazing in Love Rain and You're Beautiful. He has unique features that makes him 10x more attractive than other actors. There is always something lingering about an actor that you never can get over with. The list of favourites tends to be this way. lol :)

    Yeah me too. I always check people who send requests. Not because I'm expecting them to be crazies, mind you, but because there are a lot of kids on MDL. Too many if you ask me. I wish the site attracted a more mature audience but oh well ...

    What are you watching these days? Did you check out any of the movies I rec'ed ya? I watched a really hilarious romantic comedy yesterday. It was so good. I was laughing my ass off. It's called Petty Romance. Seen it?

    Wow, your Norwegian is still great! I think if I move back to the States I'd totally forget Norwegian after a year or two.

    No, I didn't know you had 2 boys! How sweet. Do you share them with your Norwegian ex?

    I love kids, but I'm of two minds about having them. On the one hand I love the idea of having my own family, kids to love & yell at! haha ... On the other I still feel like I haven't accomplished much in my life yet to bring children into the world.

    Ahhhh ... what to do, unnie?! lol

    By the way, you called yourself 'old' in your last post. You're not that much older than me and I ain't old so neither are you! :-)

    Hey did you see my post on feeds about my crazy encounter or did you read all those weird azz posts on my wall? Is that why you asked about spamming mdl crazies? I'd totally do it by the way. lol

    Thx a lot for rooting me on! It's a lot of work & I'm not the best sales woman (biggest part of being a producer if you're not a name), but I'm getting better. And I just love what I do! :-)

    I have several ongoing projects. A doc which is a co-production with another filmmaker - I don't make docs of my own accord, I'm more into fiction films. Then there's my 1st feature film which is still being developed, script wise. Two short film projects which I'm trying to secure financing for now. Yesterday I got rejected by the Norwegian Film Institute for 1 of them, but I also have some good prospects with other funds so I'm still optimistic we'll make all or most of our budget. Fingers crossed! :)

    Hyun Bin, was surprised that he turned out to be a pretty decent actor! Thought he was just another pretty face like Lee Min-ho! My fav Asian actors are all men! haha They have looks & talent! :)
