I guess, but the problem is with drama production in genersl. PT seems to be one of those dramas that only care about stuffing it with popular faces and not much more. It's really annoying because dramas like JJW or other good dramas go unnoticed because of it. I have my doubts about Secret Garden too, but I didn;t find it all that bad and it was one of the better of the popular dramas to me and the cast worked well with each other; in pt nothing works, except for very catchy music. How bad is the Musical? What'ds up is pretty good but it got a little too silly for my liking in the middle so I dropped it for now. But I want to know what happens to that pickpocketing boy who was producing one of the plays and also what happens to the scruffy teacher.

This seems to be one of the better, more carefully, made Chinese romance movies out there. It's an easygoing romcom I liked the animated effects in this one, as an exception. It kind of reminded me in parts of Addicted to love w/Meg Ryan, but it's not the same. It's easier on the eye than Addicted to love could ever aspire to be.

Hmm, interesting looks like this time gou may take a bit longer but I also heard 46 is the last epiusode; I thought it was 47. Do you know anything?

I dropped the drama; it was abyssmal. I can see why Hotaru no hikari would be recommened but hotaryu is much more enjoyable. This one is terrible, artificial; the actress annoys me and LMH is really out of place; he has better roles that this. But this i just me and my personal opinion and taste lol

No, not yert, plasnning too, I think I will soon, because I just dropped Personal Taste. I found it rather abysmal in execution and the main actress is terrible at crying, the cast didn't click for me at all. I can't see how people can enjoy I find to be awfully artificial and nothing clicks naturally, like in most of my favourite dramas. Lee Min Ho was much better in BBF and had much better chemostry with the actors in BBF. Here, I hate it. But, it IS all about PERSONAL taste lol. I really liked Quiz Show 2, though and I did hear some people being disappointed by season 2 because ut was somewhat similar to number 1 And thise guys we see at the end of the series, are from season 1, so there is continuity, that's why I'm looking forward to seeing the original story, but this oen was a really good series.

Good Quiz Show 2 review, Nikki. We need more such reviews and detailed recommendations. Have you watched season 1 yet? And lovely new avatar, althoght that I don't know who is, but is very pretty

Ah, I forget to visit sometimes (don't want to stalk your profile, given my last private message may have seem a little overhwlming to you and I really felt bad about it, I am sorry) so I forgot your brithday was somewhere in january, my apologies. But I hope you had a good Brithday. May your wishes all come true, AnimeStar and may you have strength to stay hopewful and bright. Take care.

It looks very interesting on the icon next to the comments since you basically oly see the hovering hand. Mysteriousss! :D

lol new nice avatar.

Hotaru no hikari is not a good recommendation for this drama; I am watching this now and I am finding it impossibly artificial, and not authentic enough. Hotaru no hikari was lovely and authentic, ths one so far is just...contrived and terribly painful to watch. I am not feeling the chimestry between the actors, they do not work well together at all (unlike in HNH) and the leading actress is terrible at crying. I find myself skipping parts and even then it's just an average drama; hotaru no hikari is MUCH better. he only good thing about PT is catchy music; LMH is better in BBF and has MUCH better chemistry with other actors there.

Well I was still under the influence of TaeGukGi and I was, truth to be told, not expecting what I got with JAS, it was a lovely suprise since it's a very clever film and more people should see it, so I've started spreading the word too. Interesting story of how you started dramas. Most started with anime and hana yori dango, lol. I want to watch The good, the bad and the weird next, mostly because I am qute taken by Jung Woo Sung but it's just that having watched a moment to remember and now padam, padam, JWS has made a serious impact on me. Don't know what it is, really, but A moment to remeber did have some good directing, padam does have it too along with some lovely camerawork, which reinforce his acting skills. and I really like how Kang Chil has been written in PP. JWS has this something. I like actors whose acting is authentic and both JWS and LBH have that.

I hope so too, Yeona. The beginning was very strong and I will want to kniow what's happeniong to the characters so I;ll get back to it, skipping some parts perhaps, but will get back to it lol

Aww, well it;s just two months or less untilm another break. Lol, I am still in the process of changing it as I deleted my hiuge lists, I pasted it into ocument but then computer installed updates so I lost what I cut out from the proile. Ah well. Gonna redo this. Your intro is just fine, I am sure you will work something more elaborate in the future too;I'm mostly yearning to compile more eclectic lists, hence my introduction may either grow or shrink as I remake the lists I just cut and lost. Nah, just one. Chapter 3 hasn;t been written yet at all.Osamu is quite the rising heathrob ain't he? I'm waiting until Hugry gets a bit more underway before watching it but he was one of few reasons for which I enjoyed parakiss movie. Well, I'm going to see. I"m not a fan of on Lee Min Ho at all but I did like Hotaru no hikari, so if there is any resemblance it may hopefully entertain.

lol ^^ I'm writing my thesis. I'm from Poland, where te use of the word philology is fairy widespread hence I was actually suspecting you may be from there. Are you? :P

likewise, Niya :-)

Hello there! Welcome to MDL and it's so lovely to meet another English major! ^^ Cute avi, haha.

Sure! It's a pretty clever film so I hope you like it. It's refreshing to see the protected male species do some balancing to all our female chit-chat around here on MDL, so hope to see your recommendations and reviews more. Also, thank you for the friend request, it's nice to meet you.

Hi, Skye. Yes, I noticed that much later; at first for some reason the search didn't show it, apologies for duplicating.

Bladey is just fine :-)

Also, the setting couldn't be better for the film; it's so very liminal. They realise that there is really no wall between them, omce they cross that almost magical,although always political border- they are brothers there, sharing the same things and having fun, but division becomes even more acutely felt once the governmental elemnet and intrusion is reintroduced to the story and they are forced to go back each to their side. The alternation between flashbacks and investigation is very clever. It's really very poignant.
