My answer to Activity 7
A combination of A and D. I thought he was cute and polite, and he was taking Appa's fanboying over him extremely well. But I was more excited in episode 2 about Trash's official introduction as potential husband candidate.
Well, who knew that 5 episodes later, my heart was going to be stolen by him in that can throwing scene with NJ.

Chilbong is our Taus-Res-Jaurus puppy.
hahaha. I don't think that really makes sense, but whatever.Lulu, USA -
Thank you guys for all your hard work in putting this together. Sorry I took so long in deciding a lady for our man, as I didn't just want to pair him with anybody. I like Jung Yumi, but she was made out to be too much like NJ#2 in the scene, and Miso didn't seem to have any romantic vibe with CB, so I choose....
Zheng Wei (郑微) from the movie and novel, So Young, or To Our Forgone Youth (致我们终将逝去的青春)
She's spunky. She's fierce. She never hides what is in her heart, and she never gives up. Once she loves, she gives her all even if it means getting her heart brutalized in the end. For someone as headstrong and passionate as Najung, if not more so, she has shown that her love can change with time, upon the realization that the other person is just not the right one. That's why I think Chilbong and her will be a great match personality and experience-wise (ignoring the language barrier) because she also knows the pains of a failed first love, and once they do fall in love, I know that she will give him her all and stick by him through the thick and think, like he deserves. What's more, she also knows the pains of a broken family, but loves and hopes regardless, she's not school-savvy but smart as a whip when needed with super high EQ to boot, and they should be around the same age, since she went to college in the 90's too. As a bonus, they both tried to give the person they loved a cake on their own birthdays, and she will be a force to be reckoned with against Najung, so I know that she will not relent in giving Najung a discount for their apartment in 2014.

Dude. I feel like they shouldn't have put in a close-up of the book that the Princess was reading. That was some really disturbing X-rated stuff.
Maybe it's because most people in Korea can't read Chinese characters that well?

Especially when everything is an allegory to Italian culture, going through the back for the endnotes after every line was the most obnoxious thing in the world. It sounds pretty in Italian though.
Catch-22 was difficult especially in the beginning and I had to drag myself to the end of the book. Toooo many characters to keep up with. Good novel though.
I'm waiting for someone to say Twilight or any of her cringe-inducing books...
Here I am to say Twilight!!
My friend kept recommending it to me for over a year, saying that it is even better than Harry Potter.
I finally gave in and read it in senior year. Biggest Mistake. I kept finding myself waking up with the book next to me and no pages flipped. When Bella was locked in the dance room, I kept anticipating some action (very necessary at this point to keep me interested), and then poof, the chapter ended with her lying in bed in the next second. I wanted to slap myself at the time.
Even though I found a lot of classic books difficult to read at the time (Scarlet Letter...
), it felt worthwhile afterwards because the book meant something. With Twilight, I felt it was a horrible waste of whatever hours I kept reading and falling asleep through it, and I will never get those hours back... ToTOne of my favorite books is Crime and Punishment. I even had a small crush on Raskolnikov at the time. hahaha

wow, you have quite a list.
I've recently just watched Farewell, My Concubine, have been meaning to for a long time and finally did it.
so glad that i did, b/t it was a PHENOMENAL movie.
it was so rich with all sorts of emotions.
people compare the King and the Clown with Farewell, My Concubine. I don't think the two really compares.
King and Clown trailer really shocked me in a good way and made me crave to watch the movie,
but the actual movie was disappointing.
Concubine on the other hand was fulfilling in so many ways.
Leslie Cheung is just simply amazing. He's easily one of my most favorite Chinese actors.
and now i really want to watch Happy Together.
P.S.
my story of watching the Wedding Banquet was quite funny.
i think my family was just bored one day and went to blockbusters.
my mom was desperate for Chinese films, and so she saw this, and grabbed it w/o knowing what it's about.
i think they were quite shocked to see the actual content. my family is a little on the traditional side.
though i enjoyed it a lot.
I love the dad. he's just so cool in so many ways.
btw, i don't appreciate the turn to melodrama, sappy, idealized turn for gay films/dramas as much. It just doesn't have the same affect on me as an audience.
I did enjoy Love of Siam, but more b/c of the music, the cute people, and the trials of the family. The relationship b/t the 2 boys was sweet, but it doesn't have the same effect on me. It was more of like an "awwww..." than an "omg! i'm sensing this profound change in myself"
but i do wanna watch Bangkok Love Story. It looks really good.
-
definitely Harry Potter!!
i had to drag myself through the first book, and not intending to read the other 3.
-
overall, a very disappointing movie.
cute actors though! ^___^

I wanna ask if we can post pictures of cute guys who are not exactly net idols, but they're not celebrities either.
Here's some pic of Acosta, a mainland blog celebrity. He's a talented writer too, kinda like Guo Jingming, or Xiao Si.

Hi everyone. I'm here to let more people know about BOBO. They're not exactly Net Idols, but they're still cute!
These boys are from mainland.

yay. fell in love w/ him in the Illusionist. Can't wait till The Painted Veil comes out. He, Russel Crowe, and Ewan McGreggor are my fav western actors.
-
i just want to apologize for some things i have said before on this thread about S.H.E.
I have gained a lot of respect for them over the past couple months, especially for Ella, and her hard work in HanaKimi.
-
takuya and wonbin look somewhat similar but not chen....
chen is pretty ugly actually and not that attractive.........
"pretty ugly"
are you saying that Chen Kun got famous b/c the sense of beauty in Chinese people is skewed, and therefore he got famous and popular b/c of his "ugliness"? Or how do you define ugliness, b/c one of the "hottest" Korean starts is thought to be very "ugly" in China, it's a wonder how he's so very popular, they say.
-
Seriously? I think Takuya's skills are really good, but it kind of varies and I wasn't as impressed with his work as with Chen Kun's. But I think that's because the stuff that Chen Kun's been in has more depth. I was really impressed by his balance of comedy and seriousness in Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress.
Yes. I watched a LOT of Takuya dramas years back b/c my mom kept borrowing them, so i think i watched like 8 to 10 of his dramas, maybe even more. My first was Long Vacation, though his acting skills were still a bit raw in it. 空から降る一億の星was one of the best series he was in, although i didn't like the very constraining atmosphere. I only watched 2 to 3 of Chen Kun's works, so i'm not as familiar w/ Chen Kun as i'm with Takuya. But since Chinese dramas go to like 40 episodes, and Japanese ones are like 10 episodes, I guess it's kinda even....lol....
-
this is a korean celebrity site so people are going to go for wonbin, but i think takuya kimura is the best actor among the three, i've never been a big fan of wonbin's acting for some reason. as for looks, i'd say that they're all obviously very attractive people. i think wonbin and chen kun both look handsome...but in a generic way, especially wonbin.
i agree. my rank of acting skills would be
1. takuya kimura
2. chen kun
3. won bin
i was really amazed at one drama takuya was in, it was a classic.
-
Chen Kun has a very distinctive face, and i don't think he looks like the other two.
But goodness, Won Bin looked so good in Friends w/ Kyoko Fukada...
-
Do you like anyone for their looks? It seems like all the people you like have to be super talented. Which this thread isn't exactly about. I mean I think most of the people posted are narcissitic.
Writing's pretty hard. The fact that he's a best seller means at least his stuff is entertaining, though it's a shame he plagiarized that one book. But he has written some good stuff, and while his writing isn't the best, it's hard to be an excellent writer at such a young age. Usually the best writing is based on experience, which at his age he doesn't have exactly.
I do like a lot of people for their looks, but their look has to match with my interest. I generally like people who has an nice and interesting personality. I look at personality over talent, but i admire people with talent.
I do agree that most of the people posted here are somewhat narcissitic, but i think GuoJingMing is the epidemy of narcissism in China. I think moderate narcissism is cute, but too much of anything is always bad.
I have read some very nice writing with actual content by writers his own age. The reason i think his novels are so popular is because it has a massive appeal to teenage girls, and it's written by someone with good looks. That is why he's so popular

^^ plagirzing for what?
His book, 梦里花落知多少，is basically a modified version of Zhuang Yu (庄羽)'s 圈里圈外。
-
=X Im starting to not like him too. I searched his name up and found an article about him plagirizing, is it true? http://www.danwei.org/books/best_selling_t...uthor_convi.php
Yes it is true. He was convicted of plagirism and fined a repension of about 200 thousand dollars i think.
-
Guo Jingming...he's mainland...the guy newstrive likes....I think he's a writer? And he has an English name but I don't like English names because Chinese people are Chinese. Romanizing is already bad enough, why should we compromise ourselves with English names? I can understand for Hong Kong, but I don't get why all those Taiwanese celebs have English names. I'm glad the mainland ones don't.

personally don't like him. he's soo narcissitic that it passes the point of being cute. and his writing is just a pillow with an elaborate cover, you squish it, there's nothing solid to hold it up.

I haven't watched episode 12 yet, but in the opening credits Hyukjoo's name and then Sangmi's name comes out first and then Heesu and Rex...so does that mean the official main couple is Hyukjoo and Sangmi? Although I heard the script was changed a bit from the original but Hyukjoo was probably the first main character from the beginning. I do like the fact that they are the main characters because the drama's theme seems to revolve around how people change from fame and how manipulative and twisted it is. They are the only two that haven't become delusional and are still the same at heart as well as retaining their sanity. More importantly, they're also two characters that the audience can connect with while Rex was separated from the beginning and Heesu eventually alienated herself although I think it would've been a great storyline if Heesu's character from the beginning didn't change and she realized that staying true to herself and the people she loves is more important than selling herself out, which is exactly what she does and she never seems to realize that throughout the drama and further insists on pursuing her career as a sex symbol, which the CEO calls her and he is completely right. The audience also felt no connection or emotion with her when she did her first performance in earlier episodes...it was kind of like...who is that?? Instead she's not using her true talents at all because did any of you see her original type of dancing in the beginning of the drama in her performances as a "singer"? I think Gangster/Hyukjoo shows how it's not really necessary to be a complete jerk to reach your dreams and to not let others change you into something your not even if it means not achieving what you think you always wanted.
wow. great analysis. i just saw this drama as pure entertainment, not actually with profound life lessons within lol

玻
NM.
if you were referring to my previous post, i was talking about 搏。 玻 is another character, mostly associated w/ glass, 玻璃. it's pronounced bo1

let me clarify myself. i searched about and found no evidence they said any direct insults at mainlander (i apologize for my false statement earlier), but they do not have a great reputation among mainlanders, at least for most of the internet goers.
What they have said is this. A Japanese journalists asked them if they were Chinese, and they said no, We were Taiwanese. Now in a mainlander's view, that answer was a bit provincial. Plus, they are one of the most prominent supporters of TW independence, and in a mainlander's view, that's not very likeable.
why i don't like them that much is my personal view

Go Ara 고아라
in actors & actresses
Posted
Just want to pop in to say that I am SO GLAD that Ara is seriously considering the LSG drama instead of the previous SSH drama that just sounded like a messy melodrama that will go down in flames.
I'm quite excited to see her future performances. You have quite a bright future and a beautiful heart to stabilize your walk in that path, Ara.
