Hey, everyone, i just finish watching LOVing YOu, what a great drama. This is kinda off topic. But is Park Yong Ha and Eugene still going out in real life. Thank

I think Park Yong Ha and Eugene are rumoured to be dating but both of them denied that they are dating.


Korean Dramas that I have seen

1) Winter Sonata (Gave up halfway as I find it too Draggy)
2) All about eve( It is one of my fav, watched it for more than 5 times)
3) Loving You ( one of my fav)
4) Damo ( now showing on TV, not bad)
5) Hotelier ( one of my fav)
6) Autumn Tales ( find it too draggy)
7) Summer Scent ( now showing on cable TV, not bad, personally out of winter, autumn and summer tales, I think this is the best out of the 3)
8) My love Patazzi ( okay)
9) All In
10) Beautiful Days( Highly Recommended)

As for highly Recommended Movies

1) My Sassy Girl
2) Classic
3) On my way home
4) JSA

That is some of my recommendations.

Ok, i need some more recommendations... which k-dorama can make me cry a bucket? I need a heart-wrenching tear-jerker!!!

I've watched Beautiful Days & Piano but i thought it was kinda draggy and besides, i only start watching at episode 3 onwards...i didn't follow up so perhaps that's why i find it boring?!

Summer Scent will make you cry a bucket! I cried in it I bought the box set and watched the whole thing in two days, and I let my friend borrow it and she loved it too (now she wants to buy a copy for herself ). The soundtrack is also really good, and Min-woo was soo cute!

Finally saw this, it looks like a great drama

But what's with Koreans and physical child abuse? hehe


And one thing I notice on most Korean dramas it always starts showing the past on the first 3-4 episodes and them it goes to present time.

I think its because their nation has compulsory army service, they like to toughen up their kids in case of war with N.K. Or at least they've gotten use to toughening up their kids that now they don't think twice about
smacking them around.

Old chinese series use to follow this formula too.

But even defenseless Teenage girls?

You can see they use corporal punishment on schools as well. Must be tough

Hi, I have a question about My Love Patzzi (sorry if this is in the wrong section)...anyways, does anyone know when JEM will release the next episodes? This is my first Kdrama and I'm really enjoying it and can't wait for more. Thanks in advance.

Episode 1

grown up cha song ju playing piano on a beach...

"its possible that person might have loved her more than i did, but im not saying that i loved her less than that person did."

***
(flashback)

"i really like song ju oppa. he plays piano real well, he teaches me a lot of things, he does magic well, he would say things ("han jung suh, that's how you smile") to make me happy & that's why i like him so." voice by younger jung suh.

"i really like jung suh. she was by my side when my father passed away from a car accident, i was by her side when her mother passed away from cancer, we were always together, & when she's struggling she would say ("oppa this is how you smile right?")." voice by younger song ju.

"i love oppa like my father. my father & i live on the beach. we built a house on the beach to remember my mother who passed away." voice by younger jung suh.

"i'm glad jung suh isn't my blood sister. the reason is cuz... it's cuz... it's a secret." voice by younger song ju.

***
grand opening...

basically, tae mira (actress) becomes the image for the new company.

at the party, tae mira & jung suh's father flirts w/ each other.
"oppa what do you think about them? don't they look good together? i haven't seen my father that happy in how many years. after meeting tae mira, if they get married i would feel comfortable living overseas for an education." jung suh

tae mira kids' father come out of prison & a reporter gives him a card asking if he knows the actress tae mira. tae mira gets a phone call at the party & leaves to see the kids & the father. the father scolds tae mira for her to leave the kids looking that way while she's having a rich life.

tae mira & jung suh's father marries.

jung suh & her father packs to move into they're new house. she dresses a warm coat on a doll that's an older woman. "mom, i'm moving today. the items that reminds me of you i won't be taking it. it's something i shouldn't take along to a new life, is that okay? you want to see father happy too? now that it's winter & cold, you need to dress warmly. next time i come, i'll dress you."

jung suh starts recording the ocean sound & the sounds of the seagulls. "oppa, you told me that when i hear seagulls that my mother is laughing & singing. when i go oversea for education..." he started making seagull noises (awww~ so sweet *melt*) "han jung suh, that's how you smile."

tae mira greeting jung suh & her father. "you can't call me mother yet huh? don't worry call me whatever feels comfortable for you. later on when you feel comfortable, you can call me mother." (can you say fakeness *roll eyes*)

tae mira kids & the father eat for the last time together b4 he drops them off at they're new place (tae mira's house). (sorry have to add my comment...hehe i found it so sad that the father acts so mean to those kids cuz he knows that's the best for them. )

first day in school, yuri tells jung suh not to mention that they live in the same house & she agrees. during the introduction in front of the class, the teacher tells the student that jung suh was #1 in her last school. yuri interrupts to announce who she is "han yuri. you will find out sooner or later, but my mother is the actress tae mira. jung suh lives in my house as well, but to tell you why it takes a lot of explaning." during the break, all the female student surrounds yuri asking questions "how they live together? they can't be twins since they don't look alike. etc..." one of the female student mentioned in the news that tae mira remarried & her kids from the past had a hard life thinking it's jung suh. yuri interrupts to say "we both need our privacy in this matter."

after school, yuri told the kids that she would buy them food (popularity contest *roll eyes*). they see a nice looking car come they're way & a goodlooking boy steps out of the car (song ju). he's there to meet jung suh. (i love the jealousy burning on yuri's face )

song ju & jung suh are riding on a bike down a hill w/ arms waving on the side. ( hrmmm yeah right ) they fall on the ground w/ song ju on top of jung suh (big turn on eh jungik? ...you call that pantie? it's more like a white boxer in my opinion ) they give each other a gift b4 heading back home. she made him a hat & he got her a nice outfit.

the next day in school, yuri wore the outfit w/o asking. jung suh got real upset & had a talk w/ yuri on the rooftop of the school.

once they got home yuri spilled ink intentionally on the new outfit (witch ). they fought & tae mira went into they're room. the mother told yuri to pack up & leave the place. "you don't even know the reason & you only yell at me. jung suh's outfit is so pretty so i only wore it for a second & spilled ink by accident. i asked for forgiveness & she wouldn't take it. she keeps saying stuff to me." crying her eyes out.

they went to the beauty salon w/ the mother. yuri asked for the same hair style as jung suh. then they went shopping. yuri keeps picking the same outfit as jung suh. jung suh noticed the exact outfit that song ju gave her & grabbed the only piece. the 2 girls started fighting for that outfit which yuri won.

back home the parents look at yuri's report card. yuri is doing well in school & asked to see jung suh's report card. they thought she did bad but she was the #1 student.

the mother has a talk w/ yuri not in a nice way. jung suh interrupts to say yuri probably wasn't #1 because she just moved to another school & stuff. tae mira keeps telling jung suh to go upstairs & jung suh keeps asking to let this slide. tae mira stands up & moves forward to jung suh "you're bragging cuz you're #1 huh?". jung suh tells tae mira that's not what she's doing & called her ahjumma (something you call a married woman). tae mira was in shock & slapped her many times on her face (poor thing ). while yelling at jung suh & telling her to call her mother, the phone rang. song ju wanted to know if they can meet for ice skating. at first, jung suh said no til tae mira told her to tell song ju she can go.

he noticed a girl w/ same hair style w/ the same outfit he gave jung suh. he taps her & she turns around. it's yuri (the witch). he apologizes cuz it was the wrong person. she tells him that she is jung suh's step-sister & saw his pic. how jung suh told her to wear the outfit & she couldn't come out cuz she's sick.

song ju drove yuri to her place & wanted to come inside to see if jung suh was there. the step-mother told her to go into this room (doesn't it sound like cinderella? ). song ju asked if he can visit jung suh's room & the mother agreed. he went into her room & saw the recorder. he recorded a message. coming out of the room, yuri was there. "yuri right? since you're jung suh's sibling, i can call you by name right? jung suh isn't the type to mention she's sick. since she mentioned that she's sick, it must be real bad. you take good care of her okay?"

the mother asked yuri if she had fun. the mother mentioned that song ju owns the shopping mall & jung suh is lucky since she grabbed him. yuri said she won't let that happen & asked her mother how to grab him. tae mira tells her daughter she must be #1 & that's why she was upset when she wasn't #1. yuri said well it's over since they're going overseas for education. the mother said she will help out w/ that situation.

that night the father comes into the girls room to tuck them into bed. jung suh grabs her father into a hug position, "father, your happy right? you look real happy. leaving you alone while i go overseas for education really bothered me. now i don't have to worry." he tells her to go to sleep. while alone tucked in bed, "father, you have to be happy. even though, i go overseas just be patient." (this part really touches me cuz i know what it is to sacrifice to make your father happy )

father wakes up from tae mira crying.

father waits for jung suh after school to tell her she can't go overseas in front of song ju & his mother. jung suh begs her father to send her overseas, but he tells her he just go married & isn't fair to the other kids. he hopes that she will do what he begs of her.

jung suh on a horse on a carrousel while song ju watches.

"was it around when i was 5 years old. the first time i ever rode this. as i go round i would see my mother then won't see her. my mother just stood in one place but i cried & cried looking for her." jung suh

"should i wait & go overseas together?" song ju

"no. just that if you go alone & get scared, what if i lose you?" jung suh

"i'll come back. i'm scared i'll lose you instead." song ju

"what if you can't find me?" jung suh

"i'll look til i found you then we will meet. ppl who like each other will always meet." song ju

"even though we're apart, you will come back? *nod song ju*" jung suh

"w/o me you can sleep right? *nod jung suh* w/o me you will smile right? *nod & both cry*" song ju

song ju puts a coat covering jung suh & his face.

"jung suh. when i return, i will draw a picture of here & give it to you. it has no worries, we didn't separate, & no pain. that kind of gift... heaven."

***

older song ju playing piano...

"jung suh, do you hear it?" *song ju w/ a tear* (kwon sang woo fans should love this part...hehe )

his heart�c.

I've been wondering about this too. I thought it was only 10 episodes (I have 9) but I heard the SG airing has 13 I'm hoping with the latest problems with eps that My Love Patzzi isn't/won't be another victim

I think i posted this on some other thread but I'll post it here as well. Ruler of your own world - being shared on d-addicts is very good.

Also watched Lover's Concerto - I like that movie. As for The Classic and Madeleine, I didnt quite like those as much.

acutally i don't like kdramas since i don't appreciate them coz i don't understand what they are saying not like jdrama in w/c it helps me a lot in my self study abt. niponggo.

I just checked the site this morning. It's up and it says its seeding but when I went to download it, there were 28 leechers and no seeders.

But it is up. I just need to find seeders for 3-8. I already have the first 2 and 9. I need more!!!

I'd help you out right now to seed MLP 4 and 5 (since its still on my hard drive) but I can't seem to get the torrents from JEM's site. I'll try again in an hour or so. If you still can't get the episodes you want after a while, PM me and I'll just send it to you through snail mail. It shouldn't take long to reach you considering I live in San Francisco,CA, too.

That would so rock!! I think I have four open right now but I closed number 5 since it had no seeders. I had finish number 3 but some wise person thought it would be funny to get send out a music file and just re name it with jem's file.

Same thing happened with Bright Girl Success but I did finally finish it. Have you seen this one? It also stars Jang Nara from My Love. It's a really funny series. This series is what got me into Korean Dramas.

^.^

Yay! MLP 10 is up......I guess it really is 3 eps to go ;____; It's not being seeded yet, there's no arrow next to it. It looks to be next in line, plus Waterboys 1! Yay! Hopefully Jem will be able to keep up with Waterboys.

Yay! About Waterboys, let's hope he does keep up with it. According to some other members in this forum, its even funnier than the movie and the movie was FUNNY! Considering all the problems JEM is having, I'll probably do to Waterboys what I did with Beauty or Beast - wait until it's completed before I download it.

And Usagi, thanks for the recommendation. I've seen like 3 episodes of Bright Girl's Success. I'm patiently waiting for JTV's release since it has better video quality but I'll probably break down and download JEM's version. But I'd like to finish MLP first since I started watching it first.

Well.....Jtv is considering cancelling Bright Girl. It's out on DVD though......very well done and decently priced! I grabbed it last year when it was first released. Subs are good on the DVD too, it actually looks like someone took their time and translated it personally as opposed to other bootleg DVD's.
