Have you seen the movie? :P

Hahahahaha. I'm not a mean person. ;)

If I had to guess, I'd say it's Takenouchi Yutaka...

Love your profile picture!!! Did you do it?

Twinnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
I have missed you too. I have been so many times on the verge of writing you, but got always distracted by... life. You know I can't simply open the page and write 2 lines: this is my biggest limit. If I write, it has to be at least an essay. LOL
I'm glad you finished your sketchbook. Are you happy with it? Has it come out the way you wanted?

I have been fine. The stress is gone - to come back soon, I'm sure, but I'll bandage my head after it's broken, not before. ;) I have convinced my mother to watch a drama with me! She's coming over tomorrow and I'll show her the first 2 episodes of King 2 Hearts (it's her kind of thing). I have to translate the subs and read them to her, because she has trouble doing it herself. It will be either hilarious or a catastrophy. LOL

Love your reviews of both Coffee Prince and Full House.
Agreed 100% too. :D

I'm so happy you are liking it so far. I'm a little... possessive towards this drama, almost as though it were a creature of mine, LOL. Please don't be deterred by the poor quality of the cinematography, I know it's not shiny and spectacular as more modern dramas or eye-candy as korean ones, but I believe the raw, almost grating setting makes the intensity of emotions shine. And one must love Yosuke Kubozuka (here as well as everywhere else), he's smart, but also incredibly insecure. This drama is so human... I simply love it. :)

Violet!!! You're watching Long Love Letter, one of my all time favourites!!!! I absolutely adore this drama. :D
I'm glad! I will follow your progresses from... the backstage. ;)

Sorry my dear, I had to go cook something before I run out of the house for my side job (tutoring).
It's going to be a long day...
I wish you a great one and wait to read your episode review. :D
Hugs.

Ohhhhhh, Violet: the tree!
All the scenes you mention are wonderful. This drama is a collection of moments and quotes. For example, I love how Akira's presented. The first thing he says is: "Nietzsche says God's dead. But how did he die, I wonder?" That's not an ordinary introduction of a character. It's clever, and deep.
And there are so many. Not to mention the humour, which is priceless, imo. The whole story of the man who stalks people in the night to have them confess who they love it's hilarious!!
Yes, it's decided. I'll add re-watching Nobuta to my plan to survive until wednesday!
;);)

I agree wholeheartedly.
I should have known, you have it in your favourites in pole position. ;) Mmmm, now that it was mentioned, I may re-watch it... for the 3th time: I have it all downloaded.

Hahahahaha.
Well, you're lucky: I didn't write the script of Rooftop Prince and I have no oracle glass, so there are very high chances I got it all wrong. You enjoy your ride and I'll wait for you should you decide to watch the other travelling joseon man. ;)

Yes, I know what you mean.
A good example could be Nobuta, one of my favourite dramas. Most people simply discard it as a teenager drama, they complain there's not enough romance, but I think that drama has a lot more depth than your average school fluff. I laughed, and thought and simply adored to watch how the friendship grew and became as strong as any romance.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like to laugh or I want only heavy dramas. I like good humour, and I like silliness too, as long as it's either only comic, or it has some deeper, more human problem to face.:)

Oh, if you want my very personal take on the ending of RP, here's my theory:<br />The modern prince (can't remember his name) isn't dead and will pop up sooner or later and end up with modern Park Ha. The joseon prince will go back to the past through the same time twirl and find out the dead body is not the princess' but one of her waiting ladies, killed in order to have the princess flee with a lover or something, but by then the prince will have found out how evil she was and marry her sister instead.<br />All's well that ends well. :P

LOL, I might go back to it in the future, I truly like Yoochun and I resisted because of him. But the plot is beyond redemption, for my taste. And I'm not really a fan of fluffy dramas. If I want to really laugh, I prefer Japanese humour, which is so surreal.
As for Cha Seung Won, that's really a problem that can't be solved, I'm afraid. All the more so, if he acts in Hong Sisters' dramas (yes, this is another idiosyncracy of mine, possibly because the infamos sisters are the queens of fluff).

I want to start Queen In Hyun's Man though. It's another time travel, but the plot appeals to me more. Are you watching it, by chance? :)

Violet dear, I'm afraid I've dropped the rooftop prince. It's not my cup of tea. And before I bash a drama which is obviously likable just to vent my frustration, I'd rather drop the thing and migrate towards others, more to my liking shores. ;)

Yes, let's sue them in a joint lawsuit. Like this, we'll have to go to Korea for the trial. :D
It's clear the "hearts" in the title are ours: "2" because we will have to replace this one very soon. ;)

Gosh... I am going to die until next Wednesday. I am already preparing a plan which should keep me away from the pc at every hour of the day: clean the whole flat including dust under the furniture, make home bread for an army, translate 50 pages a day (of a novel I haven't received yet), run 60 miles in 8 hours with my rucksack and a broom that looks like a rifle, go look for four leaves clovers, plant strawberries...
Or someone kill me and give me peace. :S
lol

No, I haven't got an FB account, nor will I ever have one. I know I'm a little weird, but I am very jealous of my privacy and only like to talk about myself with selected people. I know I could go there and be sort of anonymous, but it would defeat the object, wouldn't it? ;)
You must have learned a lot of interesting stories from your grandparents - and even parents - too. Cherish them. Sometimes I regret not having asked more until I had the chance.

To go back to lighter chit-chat: I wrote a comment in the Rooftop Prince thread. Please, Violet, don't hate me!!!!! :D

Forgive me for turning this into such a serious conversation. It's just not easy to find discussion companions on so delicate a subject. :)
