Flower Boy ep 11! How are they going to fill another 5 episodes with them together now? And i was reading the comments on the Dramabeans website, and people don't like Jin Rak! At least, they don't care much about him. I don't know how that's possible, ha ha

Ha, that's funny. I'm actually getting annoyed with Bonnie. I have no interest in seeing her go evil, which is totally the track she's heading down. And i think you're right. It's not Elena as such but the situation that i find annoying. I never wanted Damon and Elena to get together, i'm a Stefan/Elena girl, because those two are meant to be, whereas the best thing about Damon and Elena was the tension. Which is gone now. Damon is being so pathetic with the whole 'when Elena becomes human she won't love me anymore'. Pfft, he's hardly even letting her be with him now, but he's already scared of what's going to happen later? As for Rebecca, i am loving her. I like her and Stefan together, and everything she says at the moment is so spot on, lol. It's like she's saying what everyone is thinking. I want Klaus and Caroline to get together but i just don't know if it's ever gonna happen :-(

I never watched Iris so i'm not gonna watch Iris 2, but i'm thinking I might read the recaps on Dramabeans. If i really like them, then i might watch the first season, lol. And in a complete switch from Asian dramas to Western... are you up to date with Vampire Diaries? What do you think? Elena is just getting annoying, quite frankly, although i think that's because once she's with Damon, she's not as interesting.

Lol! Does that make me a really bad person for not realising? ha ha. I used to be on Tumblr every day, but now i just go on when i have nothing else to do. I realised that you were you when i was going through my old posts looking for something, and found a thing from you telling me all the EXO members, ha ha. It took me forever to stop mixing them up :-P

Do you know what I just realised? I already follow you on Tumblr, lol. From like, months ago. That's not surprising, really, but i just found it funny. I'd say "it's a small world" but it's not when you're in this particular obsession, lol

Hey, you're watching Level 7 Civil Servant :-). Me too. It's actually only eps 5 and 6 that i decided that it was a good show, lol. The first week was very unconvincing, but then it picked up in the second week although still was a bit borderline. But this week was really funny, and sometimes very unexpected. I reckon it's gonna drop in the ratings next week when Iris 2 starts though.

Oh ok. That would make more sense. Cuz i really didn't understand why she asked Jin Rak out. I guess she's been so isolated that she wouldn't realise that to him, asking him to an art gallery is the start of a relationship, whereas she's just thinking of saying goodbye.

Yeah, i think i was gonna watch Shinahwa's show originally and then when it wasn't subbed straight away, i just forgot about it, lol.
But.. omg next weeks episode of Flower Boy Next Door! Do you watch the preview for next week? It looks good!
I was surprised when she asked Jin Rak to the art gallery in ep 10, i still don't know why she did that. And she basically told Enrique that she liked Jin Rak instead of him. Now that, i understood. But i figured she was just saying that, i didn't expect her to actually ask Jin Rak out. But did you see Jin Rak's smile when they were walking into the Gallery? Too adorable!
Oh, and Enrique is totally acknowledging that his whole 'happy' thing is just a facade. I love that. And he's doing it less and less.

Do you watch Shinhwa's variety show? I don't, but one of my friends occasionally posts videos from it, and it looks like a hilarious show. I was watching one video the other day where they were all in the car singing along to various songs, and it was just so stupid and dorky, it was awesome.

I always find that the longer shows aren't subbed as quickly as the mini dramas. Is that the case with Cheer Up Mr Kim, or are the episodes subbed pretty quickly?
Oh, i just watched this week's episodes of Flower Boy Next Door. Next week looks like it'll be good! And this ep, where Jin Rak has realised that Do Hwi knows who he is. That should be interesting. Oh my god though, I want to shoot Do Hwi. I don't even like her in a "love to hate" kind of way; i genuinely just want her gone from the show. She's so annoying!

Do you read the recaps on Dramabeans.com? I find they're really good, i agree with the two main girls (Javabeans and GIrlfriday) on a lot of things, and if i'm not satisfied with something, they sometimes can help make it more satisfactory. Or like, they won't like it either, and it's just really good to read their opinions on it. You should check it out.
I don't know anything about Cheer Up Mr Kim. I don't watch long shows or sitcoms, lol

Ah, I just watched the last episode of School 2013. You know, i'm quite sad to see it go. How they finished Jung Ho's storyline was so surprising though. I was kind of expecting it to just end well for him, as unrealistic as it would have been. But it's good that they went for realism instead. The apology scene with Ji Hoon and Young Woo was utterly adorable. I like the path the bullies went on over the series, to actually end up apologising to the people they bullied, and it didn't seem that rushed with them either. The bit at the end with Jung Ho needing to earn money for his dad seemed rushed, or like, they'd accidentally cut a scene or something, but that was the only bit that i was like "wait, where did that come from?"

Yeah, i'll watch a variety show too, if i'm a bit bored with or just don't feel like watching a drama. Running Man will always put a smile on my face.

I really liked Greatest Love, i think it's worth watching. It has the usual silly flaws that k-dramas have. Like, it's not perfect. But it's funny and sweet and has a decent ending. And it's only 16 episodes, which I always think is a good thing.
I haven't seen Iris. I don't know much about it, but i was worried it would be all action/suspense and no romance or humour, so I never added it to my Must Watch list. Is it like City Hunter? Like, in the way that the romance is there but doesn't dominate?

I always have second lead syndrome, lol. Well, i always want the main couple to end up together, in general, but i just always feel so bad for the second leads. In Greatest Love, on my god did my heart scream for Pil Joo!

I don't really know what to say about this movie. It's terrible. I was laughing out loud at some scenes that weren't meant to be funny. In fact, at the beginning, i wasn't sure if they were supposed to be funny or not, i seriously couldn't tell. I figured out that no, they were just badly acted and written... But i'm oddly curious to watch the next one and see if it's just as bad. The previous comments suggests it's a bit better...

Flower Boy Next Door. I'm loving Jin Rak at the moment. In episode 2 or 3, he made a comment about seeing Dok Mi first, and he said it in such a dark way that i actually got concerned for a second that he'd end up being a bit of a bad guy. But i guess it's not really that kind of show so i shouldn't have been worried. He's absolutely adorable, while being utterly clueless and a total dork. But i love him. I'm still on Enrique's ship at the moment, but if Jin Rak stays this awesome, i'm gonna be switching soon, lol

The line in your article that you quoted from someone else, about Hana Yori Dango being heroin. That is the absolute best line to describe my descent into asian drama and music madness. Utterly spot on, so thanks for that. It's so funny how we're all so alike in how we got into dramas. You see the same shows crop up over and over again. HYD, Hana Kimi (Japanese), You're Beautiful. They were my first dramas too :-)

I'm gonna repeat what Dee2TheJae said below me, lol. Your I Miss You review was pretty spot on. I gave it a 6 as well, and by the end of it, i had fully decided that I was not a melodrama girl. I already knew that, but it was this, coupled with Nice Guy and the ridiculousness of Moon/Sun, that i just thought "I have to stop watching these kind of shows!", lol. The only thing i slightly disagreed with was that Su Yeon was boring. I thought it was mostly in character, that she wouldn't be as headstrong as she used to be, after everything she'd been through. And she could be when she needed to be.

What did you think of the ending? I was glad to see the kids back. It was a sweet ending, but not so sappy that I was cringing the whole episode.

Love your display pic :-P
