Note:
This is another entry about Kang Mae, so be warned. A bit spoilery. This should have been posted a few weeks back, LOL.

I first watched BV online in November, while the drama is currently airing its final episodes. I've been meaning to write about this touching drama; I've only managed to write about how I can’t get enough of the phenomenal Kang Mae/Maestro Kang (see earlier post). But I felt that I’ve not written enough, that there is so much more to share about how this drama affected me. So, during the Christmas break, I made it a point to watch Beethoven Virus again.  This time, a rewatch of the whole series not just my favorite Kang Mae scenes or Kang-Mi (Kang Mae and Du RuMi) scenes and since I had no work, I was able to pay close attention to some things that I might have missed out.

• Since I've become obsessed with Kim Myung Min (Maestro Kang/Kang Mae of Beethoven Virus), I ordered three of his series (White Tower, Bad Family and Immortal Lee Soon-Shin) and one movie (Open City; with Son Ye Jin). I'm currently on episode 7 of the White Tower. I've said this in my earlier entry, KMM is one of the best actors in Korea. Totally brilliant! This medical drama is so intense; I'm so drained after watching 2 episodes at night. 

• I'm still watching Kingdom of the Winds online. But I'm still waiting for the complete subbed versions on viikii though. Muhyul-Yeon love story has taken an interesting turn. Seeing pictures from </a></b></a>dangermousie 's post made me swoon.
• Painter of the Wind just ended. It left me with an ache on my chest. </a></b></a>alexandral  and I were sharing some thoughts about the ending. Goodness, I was really sad. And it's just so unfortunate that I need happy endings these days. Although I wasn't sure about the teacher-pupil relationship of Kim Hong Do (Park Shin Yang) and Shin Yoon Bok (Moon Geun Yeong) having  a love angle because I felt that it would be too awkward, I love how it developed. I guess, that's what makes me feel bad because I was shipping for them, really hard! You know, it's like... "everything is going ok and then why did it have to end like this?"  sort of thing. Oh well, I should have expected this kind of ending; having watched a lot of k-dramas.

Warning: This is just the first of many entries that I’ll post regarding Kang Mae, Kim Myung Min and Beethoven Virus.

      When I first learned that Lee Ji Ah is having a new series, I couldn’t contain my excitement. I loved her in The Legend and I couldn’t get enough of her. So, I was really ecstatic about this series. However, my enthusiasm was somewhat dimmed when I saw some photos used as promotional materials. Oh, I love Lee Ji Ah and I like Jang Geun Suk; but what really caught my attention was the “older, far from handsome and mean looking” orchestra conductor, who forms the last part of the triumvirate. My mind was like, “WTH? That’s the male lead? He is so…not handsome! How can I watch that?”

40 Tips for Better Life

This is the continuation of my Top Ten Favorite Korean Dramas. I’ve already enumerated and gushed about my first five (http://jacganda.livejournal.com/1276.html#cutid1). And now for my second five…

I've been meaning to write an entry about my passion for Korean dramas. My plan was to list all the series that I've watched and possibly, post a picture or two of each series. However, a fellow Legend-natic,  miss_dian, posted her Top Ten Doramas and I've decided to do just the same. But before I go on any further, let me tell you a bit of history about my love affair with Asian dramas.

The idea is that those who didn't give or receive gifts on Valentine's Day or White Day can get together and eat Jjajangmyeon (짜장면), white Korean noodles with black bean sauce (hence the name), to commiserate their singledom.

Hmmm, it means that... I have to eat white Korean noodles with that black bean sauce thingy. Eh, where the h*** can I find that kind of noodles? *&*^#$!
