@ Lee Hi;
HE IS, RIGHT? I can't imagine any other people playing L, seriously.

Anyway, welcome to the club.

@ charity_hope
Thank you.

*BUSTS INTO THE CONVERSATION*
DID SOMEONE SAY KENICHI MATSUYAMA?!

@ shim changmin
I KNOW UGH ALL OF THOSE WONDERFUL SUITS JINHYUK WORE IN HEIRS. I SPENT 85% OF THAT DRAMA DROOLING OVER HIM AND THE VARIOUS OTHER PERFECT ACTORS IN IT.

YES OMG SCHOOL 2013 IS ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE DRAMAS! Kim Woobin and Lee Jongsuk okay. IN UNIFORMS OKAY. GETTING ALL SCRUFFED UP AND BEAT UP O K A Y

@ park chanyeol
Yes we did.

@ shim changmin
I know omfg like aside from the fact that they were beautiful men, they're also such amazing actors! Like when they were on the screen I was in so much pain between my emotions for them and my emotions for their characters, it was so hard OTL

@ charity_hope
I loveeeee him omfg. I first saw him in the Death Note movies but I haven't seen him in anything else! I'm assuming he's got more filmography under his belt??

@ park chanyeol
Me too, sadly. But I'm determined to watch his other dramas.

AND I JUST FOUND OUT HE VOICE GELUS IN THE DEATH NOTE ANIME!

@ park chanyeol
Won II is such an airhead! I think I'm leaning towards Seung Ji now. They'd really make a cute couple! However, I feel really bad about ditching hedgehog, but it can't be helped! I hope he grows a brain! YES! V-NECKS ARE AMAZING, BUT I JUST ABOUT FAINTED WHEN HE CAME OUT IN A TUX. HUBBA HUBBA.

@ charity_hope
THANK YOU. I CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK THEM OUT!!!

@ Lee Hi;
BUT DOESN'T IT FEEL AMAZING TO HAVE YOUR LIFE RUINED BY HOT ASIAN GUYS?!??!?!

I kinda liked Jun Pyo's cocky, jerky self. And his curly hair. I HATED HOW WOO BIN HARDLY GOT ANY AIR TIME THOUGH. I THOUGHT HE WAS A COOL CHARACTER AND WAS PRETTY CUTE. I just finished Protect the Boss a week or two ago and it was awesome! Jaejoong was uber hot like holy hell. MY BODY IS READY. AND THAT SMILE KILLED ME. Agreeing with you on Playful Kiss. I didn't like it all that much. It was so boring until the final episodes! Or at least I thought so. I only really stuck with it because Hyun Joong was in it. My Girlfriend is a Gumiho was amazing! I loved the pairing and you're totally right. THAT HUNTER GUY WAS A COOTIE PATOOTIE. My Princess was so hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing! I was so mad at that curator chick. I wanted to knock her out. One of my favorite parts of the show was when she went to the department store her friend worked at and hid in the suitcase because that guy/her tutor (I totes forgot their names. Shame on me. ) was coming and he bought the one she was in and when he opened it she was like, "This... is a magical birth!" I had started to watch My Fair Lady, but then I just kinda got bored of it. Was it any good? Like would you recommend it? I'll give it another try if you do.

I ONLY WATCH SO MANY BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID THEY RUIN OUR LIVES AND ONCE I START I CAN'T STOP AND I HAVE TO KEEP WATCHING TILL THE VERY LAST EPISODE EVEN IF I DON'T SLEEP OR EAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE DEDICATED TO REACH THE NUMBER I'M AT. ACCORDING TO MYDRAMALIST... I'VE SPENT 24.99 DAYS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE SIMPLY WATCHING DRAMAS AND MOVIES. #YOLO #NOREGRETS

Also, welcome to our super dooper awesome club!

@ kim wonshik.
No problem

I notice that most of you here are fangirling over Korean dramas while here I am, only watching Japanese ones. I feel so out of place. I'll probably go get some K-dramas from my friends and watch them so I can join in you guys in fangirling.

@ charity_hope
I don't believe that you'll regret doing so. HANG IN THERE, THOUGH. WAIT TILL I FINISH SOME OF THOSE DRAMAS YOU'VE RECOMMENDED ME AND THEN I'LL FANGIRL WITH YOU TOO SO YOU WON'T BE ALONE!

@ kim wonshik.
I'd tried. Like some of K-dramas I'd watched are Boys Over Flower, You're Beautiful, Cinderella Stepsister, Dream High... and I guess that's all?

I like those dramas, especially Cinderella Stepsister because it's like soooooo sad! And I don't like Park Shin Hye in You're Beautiful. I actually don't like Go Mi Nam's character.

Oh, and I tried watching To the Beautiful You, the Korean version of Hanakimi but I just couldn't finish it. And my friends also told me to watch My Girlfriend is Gumiho but I guess I was stubborn. Among my friends, I'm the only one who's not hooked with K-dramas and I guess I was being silly and want to keep it that way in a pathetic attempt to stay 'different'. I'm just being stubborn.

@ charity_hope
Haha, I was just plain out jealous of Shin Hye! Have you seen the Japanese version of You're Beautiful? It's called Ikemen Desu Ne (He's Handsome, I believe it translates out into). I loved it! It was so funny and it had little differences that I liked so it wasn't the exact same thing, ya know? I shared a small bit of it on my Instagram because it was just so funny! IT'S SO FUNNY!

I also recorded a bit of To the Beautiful You. Sharing that too. Gumiho's a really good one! Like, I thought I might not like it in the beginning, but it really grew on me and I totally recommend it! I totally get what you mean though about not wanting to give in! I can be the same way sometimes.

@ kim wonshik.
I'd watched like half the episode of Ikemen Desu Ne. My baby Tamamori Yuta was in it. But I'm not sure why I stopped watching though.

When my friends were talking about K-dramas, I would sit there and be like, "go talk, pretend I don't exist." And when they call me to join them watch, I was like, "don't mind me, I don't exist."

I don't know why I'm being too stubborn.

And this is my personal opinion and I'm in no way intending to ridicule anyone's interest. But I think one of the other factors I dislike K-dramas is the female characters. I don't know. I just get annoyed seeing female characters acting all cutesy like Park Shin Hye in You're Beautiful and Geum Jandi. Like... no.

But that's just me, probably.

@ charity_hope
I don't know why you would stop watching either! I really adored the series!

You know, I can actually understand what you're saying about female leads. I think what also somewhat bothers me is that most of the ones I've seen really have a strong sense of "justice" and whatnot, like they're all about doing the right thing. Which is cool since it's good and all, but it's just so tiring, ya know? One that really annoyed the crap out of me was in one Taiwanese drama I watched called Love Around. The girl was the daughter of a police officer and she was like, "We shall prevail with our sense of justice" and she would just go on and on about being righteous and whatnot.

Just a pet peeve of mine.

@ kim wonshik.
And another thing I dislike is when there's only one girl and somehow all the other male characters seem to fall in love with her and seem to be oblivious to other girls' presence. And that pet peeve doesn't only apply in K-dramas. I hate to see it in stories, books, movies, anime, J-dramas and pretty much everything else.

It's alright if the plot is played right but most of the time, these boys like her mostly because she's 'cute' and 'different' than other girls which probably means her character is supposedly 'strong' and 'independent' but whine most of the time. Urgh! Annoying!

Ooops... sorry for the little rant there.

@ charity_hope
PREACH! Like seriously, she's not the only female in the world! Lol and of course they fall for her because she's "different" and "cute". That answer is just so vague it makes me wanna punch my own face in! I mean for reals. I'm different all the time and I think I can be cute on occasion, why the fudge are there no hot Asian guys trying to make a claim on me?!

I do not blame you one bit for ranting. Rant away!

@ kim wonshik.
Exactly! I'm different and I can be cute and I'm righteous too when I want to. I fight for what I believe in. So... where's my boy now?

Anyway, this just reminds me. You need to watch a J-drama called Nodame Cantabile. It's like super funny and you'd totally fall in love with the lead female because she's just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny and such an idiot but she's so endearing! My friends however said that I'm a crazier version of her. Except for the music genius part.

@ charity_hope
One day we'll both go to Korea and Japan and just be ourselves. THE BOYS WILL JUST DROP EVERYTHING AND RUN TO US. I CALL DIBS ON KAMENASHI KAZUYA! DIBS! DIBS! DIBS! DIBS!

I am adding that to my list now! I think that you would like My Love from Another Star! The female lead is so funny and she's sassy and somewhat cocky. Definitely not what we were talking about in previous posts.

@ kim wonshik.
Ah! Dang! But... between Kamenashi Kazuya and Akanishi Jin, I'd always been a Jin girl anyway so you can have Kame-kun.

Yeah... that's why my all time favorite K-drama is Cinderella Stepsister because the female lead is so interesting. There's more in depth to her character than just a cute, self-righteous person. She's flawed and overall interesting. I'll check that out. I think my friend has that drama.
