How come I thought we were already friends? LOL
Please, tell me we are on DC, or it means I've forgotten to switch on my brain once again. ;)
By the way, thanks for sending the request. :D

I would have been able to find some hairless in Italy (many do wax it), but I chose a french man with quite a few himself, LOL. As I said, love is so disgustingly blind. ;)
Which makes our imaginary loves with hot asian guys all the more daring: I can imagine Binnie's torso all I want without recurring to any razor. LOL

LOL, even twinnies have at least one difference: I love hairless faces, and hairless torsos.
Let's do like this: you have them first and once they have shaved, you pass them to me.
Perfect cooperation. ;)

LOL, we are both doomed. The 2 hearts are indeed ours. *sigh*
When I am in love with a drama, it's like having a crush on a man: I can see no fault in it. You don't stop loving someone just because he hasn't shaved in a few days or has ruffled hair - no, that's the wrongest example I could make, now I'll spend the rest of the day imagining Korean men with sexy ruffled hair. :P

Lol I DO remember its name, although perhaps a little distorted... Once upon a time in... Sangchory? LOL Anyway, that's not a problem because it's on my list here. I have watched SKK scandal and until today I can't remember how it's written exactly.;)
A big hug to you too, my dear. I'll keep you posted on the eventual progresses with dramas. :D

Yes, I like him, although I have no idea what LKW stands for (or was it KLW?). Whatever... there is something ambiguous about his beauty which appeals to me too. Something feminine, even.

Twinnie!!! You didn't tell me of the pictures contest!!! I stumbled upon it by chance. Yours is wonderful. I also loved Akai's: it's simple, but original.
And who's the hottie in your pic here? :D

At the time I was suffering from a serious secret garden withdrawal and in dire need of a romantic story not written by the Hong sisters, LOL. A friend of mine whose judgment I usually trust, recommended it, and being in such a state I thought I would try. I think the first episode made the trick, because although it was a period drama, it felt... fresh, almost modern. Also, I have a weakness for school settings. So I went on - at first skipping most of the political staff because not only I didn't understand a thing of it, I think I landed on some seriously bad subs.
Anyway, I enjoyed it very much.
Ok, it's a deal: I will start The Princess Man next week (right now, I'm submerged with work and am doing nothing, idiot me) and I will come back to you with first impressions. Bear with me then! :D

You are almost converting me... ;D

Their loss... ;)

Wow, at last another fan of Yosuke Kubozuka. :D

Star, your questions about the reason why I don't watch period dramas gave me an idea for a discussion thread.
It made me ponder on the subject drama setting and how it can influence our choices.
The reasons aren't clear to me. I think it's a combination of factors: I love history, but I very much prefer modern to ancient history, even when reading. Most Korean and Chinese historical dramas are set in ancient times. Korean seem to be set always in the same time: Joseon.
Women is another issue. I know they have their share of female warriors and the like, but mostly that was a period when women had very few rights. Grrr.
The whole plotting and scheming is another deterrent.

This said, I loved SKK Scandal, lol (hurrah coherence). I loved that it took place in a school, the beautiful poetry scattered here and there in the script and had a crush on Goo Yong Ha the playboy. LOL

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *sigh*
Kim Joo Won is a modern Korean Mr Darcy. So infuriatingly... wonderful. ;)

I am! :D
We fans of His Gorgeousness must stick together till his return. ;);)

Thank you for your friend request! :D

The lapidation isn't due to the reviews themselves, but to the length. I know for a fact that many - here and elsewhere - don't even begin to read something when they see a lot of text, and decide it's not helpful based on their laziness, not the quality of what's written. It's the same with comments on forum, more often than not. On my part, I look forward to read your review of The Greatest Love because I too thought the comedy wasn't... clever at all. Everybody around me was raving about how they laughed out loud, but I promise you, I barely cracked a smile for the first 2/3 episodes until I dropped it with a sigh of relief. XD

I do have some guilty pleasures, though, things I loved which many thought silly, so I can't claim any particular wisdom in the drama department. LOL

I ended up writing a novel myself. Sorry! :D

Unfortunately, I never watch historical dramas. Deep inside I know I'm missing some beautiful stories and photography, but for some reason I can't bring myself to start one. And it's all the more strange, since I love period movies. Who knows, perhaps I just have to wait for the right moment/mood to break the ice. The Princess's Man is on my to-watch list. :)

Hello Starlit,
please call me Rita! Thank you for accepting. :) I've read your review of The Moon Embracing the Sun and loved it, although I haven't seen the drama, nor do I plan to. Perhaps it's a little weird, but I like reading reviews, the longer and well written, the better. ;)
So I went peeping at your list and found out not only that we have many (dis)likes in common but also that you have the most unconventional dropped drama list I've seen so far. :D

Thank you my dear. Oyasuminasai! :D

Hmmm... not a huge fan of You're Beautiful... as I said I didn't like Personal Taste, I hated Full House... there are many more, but my brain right now is a meatloaf. :P
