CONTESTANT 2

@Lmangla sweetie -- well let's face it, she has had some SUPER QUESTIONABLE oppas the last few years. Who can forget some of the Turkish serial killer mustache oppas that have been plastered on this thread? Bossam oppa - a Korean mustache oppa - not a huge improvement (I think we can agree on that, no? ). So, the fact that she finds a non-mustache oppa handsome is a rare feat. Should Vengo belong to her?

 

bwahahahah.... come on! .... not that questionable!

I don't think @Lmangla @larus or @agenth care. They like his looks, aura and manliness.

 

 

true! but that aura and manliness only seems to shine in his modern clothes photo. I didn't even recognize him as the long white haired dude from blossom cdrama -- would agree with @kokodus ; while I didn't watch the blossoms drama, the posters of him did give cardboard aura. 

 

I voted for 33 percent. I don't want the whole anyway. I am flaky and will forget about this oppa too after a while!

guys!

 

How are you all doing? I've been missing in action for some time. Work overloaded!!! Can you believe that I edited 2500 of wedding photos on my own lately? Well, I am glad that my boss was impressed by my hard work. But now I am done with my arm. It aches a lot that I need to take a long break. But NOO!! It's Friday and I have to work today. Even tomorrow..... Gosh, I am crying!!

 

By the way, what's up in the dramaland lately?? Who's this C-oppa that you guys are drooling over? Well, he looks manly and he is so tall as well? Wow, sounds like my-kind-of oppa. He he.. Just joking!

 

And I don't even get what's @partyon unnie's poll is all about!! I've been laughing so hard reading all your comments though.. How come you guys are worser than me?? Ha ha ha.. 

 

Okay then.. I'll be back later today after work!

 

Have fun, everyone!

Omo! Has @gm4queen entered the “Vengo Gao is my oppa” race?!??

 

@Dhakra Danke schön!  My Austrian EO colleague @agenth has been teaching me some Viennese slang lately. I shall share some of the phrases if you are interested.

 

Ya! Hard to get tickets to Barbie this weekend even though it’s running in all theaters non-stop.

I was trying to explain to @agenth yesterday about this drama but couldn’t recall it’s whole name. So just called it “the Three Pillows” drama. She understood which drama I was talking about.

@Sleepy Owl  I’m only going to watch the interesting one. The games air so early for me.

I already watched it. I was not impressed. I am curious if I will be the only one here who has this opinion.  Remembering how some reviews said it is Oscar worthed it, I am lost....

CONTESTANT 3

@larus -- mostly known for her long-lived dedication to her unnie Kim So Yeon, she has been revealing her interest towards certain oppas throughout the years. Cho Seung Woo, Kim Moo Yul, Kim Nam Gil come to mind - not forgetting a younger kpop oppa Yoongi who caught her eye a few months ago (all of us need a bad boy oppa ). No c-oppas on her list yet, though. Shouldn't she be allowed to take care of his Soompi actor thread?

 

I read that I am a contestant for something but did not realise for what at first. My oppa? Nope. He is good looking but he doesn`t give me the vibe of an expressive actor. Not a `love at first side` for sure.

I had planned to watch "Revenant" because of the cast and synopsis. Both looked promising. Oh Jung Se in lead, count me in. Kim Tae Ri is an excellent actress, and I like her acting very much. But somehow I missed on starting it. Then I decided to check out the ratings and comments, and both have been very good for it so far. So I will try to start it in the weened, I love horror genre 

 

Revenant looks good. Horror genre is OK if there is a meaningful story behind it. I did not read about the plot. If I will watch it will be totally new for me.

I don`t know. It was like an avant premiere. I was on Thursday but it was available on Wednesday too.

I was with a friend and we were the oldest ones. There were only teens.

Why does his profile have "actor" listed in it then?

Because he was there in that one flowerboy drama....I didn't watch that one yet. He didn't do any drama after that. I wonder why though? Is it because of his schedule or because he realized he doesn't have any talent in acting? But there are worse idol turned actors than him. I guess I should watch that drama before I judge. Hmmmm

Mhm, okay, I take you by the word. Just know my door is always open if this feeling continues for too long. I wouldn't get used to me being here though, I am forgetful like a goldfish and appear and disappear randomly.

Please do come here often. I dont know where else I can find you. Twitter you mean?

At least give me V, he is actually one of the few idol singers who can actually pull of a decent high note.  

 

 

Please say this out loudly so that haters cough @partyon cough @Sleepy Owl can hear it. V has such a unique voice, doesnt he? He is the greatest.

What is funny here is no one in that list has agreed to take VG as their oppa? What are you going to do now @partyon?!

 

[MayanEcho]

@partyon Comment I found in the old, archived GPG thread. Proves that the drama endings (3!!!) didn't go by the book. 

 

"The ep 35 ending is rotten.....the original has a lovely ending which magnifies QiSheng's love for Peng Peng.

 

"In the original ending, QiSheng went to war and "died".  Of course the news devastated Peng Peng but life has to go on as she helped her son ascended the throne.  After the son ascended, Qisheng secretly returned and lived with Peng Peng in the palace quietly forever...this was his way of assuring her that he would never kill her as an emperor. Instead she became the Empress Dowager helping the son to rule.   Wow, that was ultimate sacrifice of love for me and so beautiful.......but the drama ending pales in comparison plus bringing the time travel story back confuses even more to be a gay-theme drama which China audience is not accepting it well for general viewing.

 

"Not sure if they can even do a season 2 as there have been complaints about the drama now...  But not sure if these complaints are real or to promote the drama further."

 

Plus a lot more rants in the old thread, sigh. Scriptwriters are allowed to be creative and to adjust the story to help the drama/movie pass the censors. Not make the viewers unnecessarily angry. I agree with the commenter though that they did dirty with the 3 drama endings, and could have just followed the original story's. Would have even made the drama more epic and stayed online, even with the BL nuances. 

 

I'd bet viewers angered by the ending reported GPG to the censors for promoting BL and succeeded getting it off online.

This looks like the poster for a period romance film in which a serious, workaholic professor meets a cheerful, pink loving lady who shows him how to have fun in life.

Am convinced this is why @Min2206 left the thread.

All 3 will get him as their oppa. They will each own 1/3 of him.

The book ending was perfect! 
So what if it had BL in it. Love is the same regardless of gender.

 

I will say that the Mr Queen ending was even worse than GPG’s.

I don't and wouldn't understand either why scriptwriters had to change a lovely book ending to three mediocre drama endings. And why the producers agreed to it. Just what were they smoking. Was it even worth the mess afterwards.

It was OK enough, but it was too safe. Makes one think they can be soul swapped again. He should have stayed, cos he's more than smart enough to navigate the turbulent palace life intrigues compared to the original one.

@MayanEcho I havent started yet. Probably will take a long time before I watch the 1st EP. Having much work to deal with at the moment. Do share when you are on it...

 

@agenth @partyon I prefer watching a real genius with a tragic legacy. Oppenheimer is a historical figure who changed the world, Barbie is just a commercial product that can’t even change her clothes. No thanks! (And I dont condone violence but history should be a lesson for all humankind not to repeat the disasterous war)

 

 

@partyon Where's the VG poll?

Best comment of the day! So true.

[partyon]

@Wuzetian the poll is at the top of this page. Just scroll up.

 

@larus @Wuzetian I will be watching both Barbie and Oppenheimer this weekend. It’s good to have both seriousness and fun. Both movies have very different “agendas” so I don’t think they can be compared. I just know that I want to experience both. 
 

Good morning sweeties!

Still behind on all my dramas. 

 

Busy finding all my pink clothes so that I can choose what to wear to the movie! Yay!

@kokodus How about you focus on your new c-oppa instead, Ms Koko? 
 

Thinking out loud that a lot of people on the thread would prefer pics of him…
