[What K-drama & movie are you currently watching?]

I was watching Touch Your Heart because of my deep love for Yoo In Na, but it didn't quite have that snap I was looking for. I was also enjoying Memories of the Alhambra, but got increasingly frustrated with the writing for Park Shin-hye's character. I'm currently waiting anxiously for both Park Min Young's Her Private Life and Jo Jong-suk and Yoon Shi Yoon's Ugeumchi. But I'm gonna need to find a drama to keep me interested while I wait. 

[What are your 5 favourite Kdramas of ALL TIME?]

A tough question but I love a list challenge.

 

1) Botton of the Ninth and Two Outs - Parts of it are a bit slow and the fashions and music choices really date the look. But thematically nothing has ever quite epitomized this point in life like 9N2O. I was new to Korean Dramas and still found the story and messages universal. 

2) Kim Sam Soon - My most rewatched drama. I still think the kiss in the restaurant during the rainstorm is one of the most romantic moments of all time. But outside of the romance, I just love listening to Sam Soon talk about what she wants out of life.

3) Marriage Not Dating - This show was a complete surprise. It's a screwball comedy in the best possible way. Ridiculous and sexy. Hilarious and a bit heartbreaking. The Mom kills me.

4) Healer - I'm impressed by how this drama stitched together a medley of tones, genres, and styles, while keeping a brisk pace and never sacrificing characterization. An action adventure romance about real issues of journalism. Swoon.

5) Another Oh Hae Young - There were a lot of strong choices for the fifth spot, but I couldn't finish this list without Eric Mun. The last few episodes do drag, but the tone, acting, and beautiful cinematography of this show stick with me. 

[WHO WAS YOUR 1ST KRN CELEB CRUSH??]

Lee Jung Jin. It was 2009 and I'd watched a few of Hyun Bin's dramas and was liking him as an actor. But then I watched Bottom of the Ninth and Two Outs and was in love. Lee Jung Jin somehow managed to feel like a friend I'd known forever but with a smile that could floor me in a second. We've since separated because of his inability to choose projects that appeal to me. But maybe someday we'll reconnect. Particularly if there is a come back of his look from Fugitive Plan B.
