How to become Yoon Yoon Jae - Getting into SIG fever!

I just have to post this! I enjoyed watching SNL. If I do channel surfing and see SNL, I'll definitely stop and finish a skit or two. That show never failed to give me good laughs. Now it landed into Korea's boobtube on cable (tvN).

With the popularity of Answer me 1997 / Reply 1997, which ended last this week and still have hang-over (just saw it with subs last night this morning), it also invaded SNL and it could not be more suitable for us to have a feast to see Seo In Guk on it!

Check out the skit below: How to become Yoon Yoon Jae. Its so funny! Its a BWAHAHAHAHA funny!

Many thanks to karenkristie!

[Lyrics & Download] Our Love Like This - Answer me 1997 OST Part 2

At first I didn't like the song, well as much as I like All For You. As soon as it was released, I downloaded the MV and ripped it to mp3. I sent it also to Odessa for her to enjoy and we kinda the same with the not-so-liking-it-as-much-as-All-for-you kind of thing. But after I've seen the duet in Mnet Countdown last week, I fell for the song. It seems that it has more heart now that All For You. Just now I thought of searching lyrics the romanized so that I can sing along a little bit, and the English translation which blew me away!

Can you love me even though I’m not enough for you?
I have nothing but love to give to you so do you still love me?

Let’s not say those kinds of things from now on – your heart right now is enough for me
Because we have loving hearts, which are bigger than anything in this world

Someday (far ahead) even if we get old and tired (get tired)
Let’s promise to love just like now – till the day you are in my arms
And we close our eyes (even on that day) let’s be together

I was always lonely – without you, time was long and dark
Now I feel happiness because I have your scent with me

I feel something as I pass the darkness to meet the sunlight
Now I’m not afraid of anything because I am in your arms

After time passes (far ahead) and life becomes hard (becomes hard)
Let’s promise to lean on each others shoulders
Remember today until the day we are together

I have no regrets because we have our love

Far ahead in the days, when life gets hard, let’s lean on each others shoulders
Till the day you are in my arms and we close our eyes (close our eyes)
Until the end of the world, let’s be together

Just like now (just like now) Just like right now (just like right now)
Forever

Awwwww, this will be a good wedding song. You can download both songs here, All For You and Our Love Like This. I still have to see the movie which it was first used as OST. I've got the original version too but its on my laptop at home

Whew! A new banner

Its 1 am, what am I doing? Its Friday, well now early Saturday. I spend the whole day at church. I am glad to see them, hearing concerns about my well being, I am really touched. Recently I've been quite a cry baby. Going back to the "banner", I am glad to create a new one, to celebrate how AWESOME, Answer me 1997 or Reply 1997. Its ending on Tuesday and we will (hopefully) get all the answers and wishing it will be a good one. Its pretty much given, well one answer that is, about Shi-won's husband and the baby's father, which the writer can still make it as a big joke, thus turning us into a big joke ourselves! But I think the writers love their dear life, so they will stick to what the people of Kdramaland wants, for Yoon-jae and Shi-won to end up together.  Reading back what I wrote, hehe, there is a hint of threat to the writers as well. haha! You guys (writers) are daebak!

Gaksital ended last last Wednesday, and its time to move on but to yet another goodbye -- Answer me 1997. I still have not posted anything on Gaksital's last episode. I think I owe this blog an entry, after all the things I posted about my love to Joo Woonie and of course Gaksital! I still have to buy a Pickachu toy to be named after him (I have a panda plush toy named Yong, hehe). Just saying Gaksital makes me sad to realize that it ended and I should move on, thus the closing down of my old banner.

Its difficult to come up with a banner really, especially if you know little of Photoshop. Wish I am artistic and would start to practice more Photoshop.

I wonder which drama will I watch next, though I am seeing To the Beautiful You (TTBY), not really watching I just go the cute parts for I know the story also. I have the same feeling still about the second lead not that Lee Hyun Woo is so cute A.DO.RA.BLE, but I think he deserves the girl, because he is the one who takes care of Jae Hee from the beginning! I still have to see episodes 9 and 10 again to see Lee Hyun Woo, and to see Minho my SHINee bias at first, till I saw Taemin dance!

Answer me 1997 Episode 15 - Recap Anyone?

No matter how popular that drama is, subs gets a little later the week. It is actually comes earlier now compared to like 3 weeks ago. I remember watching  the first two episodes and waited another 2 weeks to get the next two.  The only thing that can help us -- Hangeul-challenged-kdrama-addicts is a recap. For me dramabeans is the ultimate recaps blog, decent, sleek and neat and hilarious as well. Its intelligent and maybe that is why I was drawn to that site ever since we started reading recaps.

Going back, if you are dying for a recap of last night's daebak episode of Answer me 1997, you can read it here. Amazing work as well and love their pseudonames :)

Its over here at dramacrazy or dailymotion

Answer me 1997 Episode 12 is subbed!

Super bitin! That's what I've been feeling the whole time after watching episode 11 of Answer me 1997. I got home late and tired. So tired and sleepy that I can't get myself watch Gaksital for I know it will be heavy and my mind and body just can't take it.

I chose to watch episodes 10 and 11 of Answer me 1997. Even with the knowledge that it will never be  enough and that I'll just crave for more and that somehow I will not mind spoilers that Shi-won ends up with Yoon-Jae! hehe.

If only I can see it now, episode 12 that is! It was a good morning to me for tonight, I'll see episode 12 and it will be all about the RING!

Subbed! - Gaksital E25 & Answer me 1997 E11

I just love Thursdays! And that is the same with the rest of the inhabitants (hehe) of UAE or maybe the whole Middle East. Its the last day of the work week!

Now this Thursday, I am loving it more for tonight I can watch Gaksital episode 25 and Answer me 1997 episode 11! The subs for Answer me 1997 were done faster nowadays! Our Kdrama fairies heard the demands of the Kdramaland citizens!

NO! I will not read the recaps on dramabeans. OK, I read just the headline. Of course the word 'good' will always be there. All of us who loves Gaksital and had been in Kdramaland for centuries knows that one drama, no matter how perfect the earlier episodes can be ruined by one tiny bit of a scene or an episode that you'll slash down one point in rating it a 10. And for Gaksital, I want to simply rate it as "DAEBAK" and that it will say it all, no need for explanations. For Answer me 1997, if it will just give the Yoon-Jae and Shi-won-they-lived-happily-ever-after ending,  I'll give it an "AWESOME" rating!

I hope I'll get both, as I am planning to do a month of drama strictly for weekend to focus on other things, mainly sleep, nail art, Bible study and my Hangeul lessons! After typing that, I might do a month long kdrama-less life.  Yikes! I just remember Song Joong Ki's new drama coming out after Gaksital, Nice Guy.

Answer me 1997 - Episode 11 and 12 - RAW

Its up! But raw, I saw it this morning. yay! Will the million dollar question will be answered with those 2 episodes? Or will it just break our hearts? I'm not yet done with episode 10 for I have to attend class last night. Love to see Hoya dance!

But..but..but! Seo In-Guk and Jung Eun-Ji (the two that I hope will end up together) recorded a duet! DUET! Its a cover of the song "All for You" (heart melting now) Is that telling us that they will end up together? Is Yoon Jae the father? I love his smile and how his eyes smiles too when the ultrasound photo was placed on the table, after their friends commented on how the baby gets the father's eyes! Only to see Taewoong tuck something on his pocket! Boo! hahaha!

Anyway, here it is, (the duet) I got it from dramabeans!

Answer Me 1997 - Episode 7 is subbed & a Little of Gaksital episode 23

As I searched for Gaksital episode 23 with English subs on my go to website for Kdramas, kimchidramas.net and dramacrazy.net, but I found Answer Me 1997 episode 7 with subs! yay! Though up to episode 10 was aired this week, it is still good to see it with subs!

[caption id="attachment_2315" align="aligncenter" width="445"] Kang-to-yah vs another Gaksital[/caption]

But its not looking good for my Gaksital. :( Usually subs are available as soon as I wake up but now still nothing :( Looking into the scenes that I scanned last night, I am more eager to see it with subs! I actually cheated by reading the recaps and comments over at dramabeans.

[caption id="attachment_2314" align="aligncenter" width="443"] Officer Kang-to down![/caption]

[caption id="attachment_2316" align="aligncenter" width="446"] Shunji more confused than ever![/caption]

Hahaha! Thought your smart ha?! They are smarter!

Its Up but RAW - Answer me 1997 Episodes 9 and 10

That was fast! It usually comes a week after, even the raw videos! I am happeeeee! Again the answer that all of us is dying to know if Shi-won ends up with whom a)Yoon-jae b) Joon-hee c) Tae-woong I will not include Sung-jae for obvious reasons but you'll never know. I am excited to see it with subs, as of the moment I am scanning it and understands nothing. Watch it over at dramacrazy.

I am rooting for letter a, Yoon-jae, in fact to anyone except the hyung.

What now Shunji?! - Gaksital Episode 22

Why am I more worried for Shunji than Gaksital? Just like most people who are enjoying every episode of Gaksital, I think Shunji doesn't want his suspicion to be right.  He is a friend after all. Before this episode, I asked myself (being so involved in this drama), where did all the friendship between them go? After Shunji learned that his brother was the one who killed Kang-to's brother (Gaksital 1.0), I didn't see any remorse but more of a bright light, ting! another clue to the puzzle. Especially when he heard form Goiso that his hyung suspected that Kang-toya's hyung is Gaksital.  I just cannot bear friendships going into the drain because that means it was not there (friendship) in the first place.

This morning as I woke up, I scanned dramabeans' recap, and screamed "Oh no! Kang-toya!" and failed to realize that my roommates are still sleeping, good thing I didn't wake them. I know its up with subs too and again I thank the Kdrama fairies who religiously subbing Gaksital even with the presence of new dramas! The writers of this drama made my post a big joke as I wrote last night that I'll give 3-5 episodes to Shunji before he finds out. I forgot how awesome are the writers and PD of this drama.

Who would have thought that the "potato eating" scene will slice your heart and tears will automatically fall from your eyes. I realize how lonely our Kang-to is. No more family and that the hyung that he is remembering was killed by himself. Sniff.. sniff.. That episode is way, way back, only to be remembered by Kang-to with the gesture of Yang Baek.

I find the fanboy-like hug of the man who brought Gaksital to Dong Jin adorable and funny. He can't believe finally meeting Gaksital and slaps his face to complete the scene! haha!

Now why Wednesday is like 5 days from now? Off to watch episodes 5 and 6 of Answer me 1997! Oh and so its Eid Al Fitr on Sunday, so its Sunday and Monday off, so Kdrama overload! Ehem! I have to remind myself of the laundry and try to organize  all my trinkets and accessories.

Its Subbed! - Episodes 3 and 4 of Answer me 1997

I've been seeing a lot of views about Answer Me 1997 and it seems that everyone (at least in kdaramaland, Hangeul challenged creatures) is looking for English subs of Answer me 1997. As I woke up, and while my brain is still processing what needs to be done for today, with a hint of denial that there is no work today, I opened Facebook and scrolled.."duh?!".. scrolled.. "hehe"..scrolled "yay! finally!" its subbed in kimchidramas.net episodes 3 and 4!

I am so tempted to simply watch it raw and read the recaps over at dramabeans, but I think I will never get that pure bliss of seeing a good drama! I wonder who is getting married on the group. It doesn't seem to be Shi-won and Yoon-Jae, **sigh I am a sucker for "first love" stories and it really breaks my heart when the first love isn't the last.

I'll finish my task now here at the office (yes, coby you have work on Saturdays), then go home and watch episodes 3 and 4!

Answer me 1997 - Subs Please!

Nostalgic. This is what the show offers.  After seeing 2 episodes (well because its the only episodes with subs, if not I will not be writing, thus my withdrawal from this drama).  After I watched CNBLUE's MTV Unplugged, I put in the Blue Storm DVD.  I stopped watching to let my roommate use the TV, which is by the way you TV screwed the first part of video, so I ended up replaying the beginning of the show. Going back, I've been reading some praises for this drama left and right. I was so cautious not to start with it till I see enough English subbed episodes, but I gave it a try.  Why? to refrain from watching Gaksital raw!  Even if I posted on Facebook, "I want it RAW", I stopped myself to fully enjoy Gaksital. This addiction is getting worse. Let me google for a drama patch.

I once said to my 6th grade classmate, that my grade school days are the things which I would like to bury, thus reminiscing those days were not good.  Its funny how she views me differently from the way I see myself back then. It haunted my highschool a bit and even through college. The bite of bitterness still surfaces, though already moved on. This show reminds me of those years, though it may not be as colorful as what this show showcases. The thinking of being wise and sure back then, is now just being naive.  Your true love is just a big crush now. Whoa! Saying those is like saying "I'm grown up now!" and "matured", or NOT! hehe!

To our English Subs Fairies (they should be called "fairies" seriously), I beg you to sub all episodes!
