No, nothing has caught my interest so far and Cdramas have been hurtling straight at me - also, I think I caught a new Xiao Gege who is rather young. 

 

Such a cute song about body image and the clever girl who wrote/sang it:

yea a few; there is actually a daily that might interest you -- not sure if it will be as barf as our lakorns but maybe a tamer version. so in short: guy seems to be headed towards a triangle with both mom and daughter! 

other than "scandal", am also watching "sooji and woori" and the "sweet mobster".

Love that Yuko previews just completely spill which novel scenes are in each episode THEY KNOW WHAT WE NEED ,everything is being streamlined. and I’ll be honest that I’m not sure how the emotional points hitting for drama-only viewers when we’re flying thru them at this speed, but I’m enjoying that the screenwriter so far is trying to work in all the fav. scenes. (like PLEASE that entire tear down is GOLD, I hope they keep it all) LR writing daily letters to PWX and denying he could be dead! PWX getting his hero moment! SRQ being an entire circus.

He loves the outdoors, nature, fishing, and catching crayfish. 🦞 And oh, stargazing. 🌟

 

Watch him and his group catch crayfish pre-debut days. 😉

 

 

I just finished the first ep of Umi No Hajimari. 😭

 

All I can say is, the drama's premiere becoming a world trending topper isn't a hype. I'd post about it later in the thread. I'm still gathering my thoughts after watching, and it's better to write when I'm sure I can be as fair as possible. 🥹

Nice! I'm beginning to like ML more (pretty face aside) now that he's gone softer! kekeke! I am so glad he went running for FL in the rain when she was kneeling outside the emperor's study. Competitive!

 

What is with 2ML - I don't get good vibes with him but I think he's also reborn. 

 

 

I saw snippets of their promos and understand why ZLH's face has been plastered everywhere. It's always the ML who gets the most attention...

Really?

Since when have I ever been interested or watched a daily, sweetie?

How is Sweet Mobster? Am seeing so many fun clips online, but I'm really not a fan of the FL idol actress.

Should probably catch up Miss Day and Night with oppa. You're not watching it, sweetie?

 

I just saw that Miss Day and Night's ratings are increasing and it's now in the top 10 Netflix most watched series worldwide! Am happy for oppa.

 

@sweetroad @Ameera Ali You guys aren't watching this drama? It's totally your style, though.

 

@Thong Thin How are you liking Thai Danish oppa in green?

 

 

Spoiler

 

He was out and about doing promotions.

 

@gm4queen @joccu @rocher22 Pon oppa's trailer for Eight Count released! He looks so good in it with all the shirtless scenes.

 

I have no idea what this drama is about (as MDL doesn't have a synopsis for it), nor do I know when it will be released. I think it's partially a thriller.   @Ameera Ali @agenth no potbellies in sight in these Thai lakorns.

I like the FL. She's the one who played Ginny in Switch of Fate @Lmangla @joccu @LeftCoastOppa

sweet mobster is just okay. I feel like if they stick to the more emotional sides of the story, it would have a stronger base but it veers a bit too much into candy comedy. still, easy watch when I have nothing else to do.

 

maybe one of these days will get to watching miss day and night.

I will try to catch up later this week, and will let you know how it's progressing. It hit 10% viewership ratings, so it must be doing something right. 😎

 

Am catching up on k-ent news, and there are some interesting tidbits.

 

@kokodus @Dhakra @agenth Did you see that oppa's upcoming movie "Revolver" released new stills?

https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/07/ji-chang-wook-transforms-into-mad-dog-in-upcoming-film-revolver-earning-praise-from-jeon-do-yeon

 

Oppa plays a character called Andy aka Mad Dog, and from the sounds of it, it's an extremely complex character. As always, oppa will pull it off!

 

@Min2206 not sure if you're still around, but your Okpa will be starring as a boxer in a new Japanese drama called "Soul Mate" (set to premiere on Netflix next year). Taecyeon is paired up with veteran Japanese actor Isomura Hayato (from Alice in Borderland, Kamen Ghost Rider, etc), and they are playing a gay couple.

 

 

Taecyeon said:

"I am very happy to appear in the drama 'Soulmate'. I had thought about wanting to discover a new side of myself by gradually expanding my spectrum through various untried characters and genres. At that time, I received the offer for 'Soulmate'. Reading the script, I became curious about the character Hwang Johan, and even after finishing the script, I was deeply moved by the deficiencies and pains underlying Johan, which led me to choose this work. I have been dieting and boxing training since before filming, and I am continuing them during filming, putting in great effort to portray the character Johan with authenticity. I hope that viewers will anticipate and wait with excitement as well."

@Lmangla Am curious how k-netz are reacting, knowing that a big star is playing in a "BL genre" drama. I applaud Taecyeon for wanting to expand his skills and experiences as an actor.

@WeunXK We need to save Team Add.

Oh my god!!! Thanks for the update, unnie! I see Pon is so good in action. What is it all about? I wonder if it's a drama or a movie.. Is it just me or the trailer seems too long for a drama trailer? Hope they release more info on this one. Need a little bit of romance for the handsome guy! Ha ha ha...

I got to watch only 2 episodes of My Sweet Mobster so far. Should catch up with the drama soon. Your comment makes me curious over how the things are going with the lead couple. Hope we can enjoy it altogether!

 

Not sure why but Choi Jin Hyuk's Miss Day and Night sounds like Shin Sung Rok's Perfume to me! Only if you know what I mean..

Heol! Am learning something new today.... Koreans wash their hair every day?

 

[theqoo] THE UNBELIEVABLE HAIR WASHING CYCLE FOR WESTERNERS (pannchoa.com)

 

@rocat @agenth @sadthe1st Does Korean/Asian hair get more oily/greasy faster? Is this a general Asian thing?

 

I myself wash my hair like twice per week. If I would wash it every day, it would dry out.

 

Also, Korea finally took first place in number of plastic surgeries worldwide.

 

[theqoo] KOREA BECOMES THE #1 COUNTRY WITH THE MOST SURGERY... (pannchoa.com)

 

 

"In fact, the size of Korea's cosmetic surgery market exceeded $10.7 billion (about 14.32 trillion won) as of 2018, which is equivalent to about 25% of the global cosmetic surgery market share."

 

"Approximately 25% of Korean women aged 19 to 29 suffer from cultural influences.

They had plastic surgery such as double eyelid surgery and nose surgery.

It is estimated that 20-33% of women living in Seoul have undergone plastic surgery."

 

Monolids are amazing! I find it so sad that Koreans judge people by their looks and try to erase their own unique features for more western ones.

 

- no number -

I'm a mixed cocktail of East and West, with straight hair, and shampoos daily. Hair feels heavy and not smooth if I don't wash hair everyday. The Asian genes won here, LOL!

And they all end up looking the same, no unique features anymore whatsoever with their "new faces".

 

I'm all for corrective procedures to fix problems or disfigurement.

 

I dunno either what's the fascination with double eyelids or higher/thinner noses. Does it even suit their faces? Monolids look just as pretty.

Oooff, Raul's back was hurt, no wonder he wasn't doing as much as he would normally do being the center. Hope he gets well soon since he also has a world championship competition on August!

I wash my hair every day.

You’d have to pull all my hair out to make me go out of my door the next day if I don’t. 

The hot and humid weather here does not allow otherwise. Hustling all the time…

 

 

But in Korea, the weather’s kinda dry and in cooler seasons, I don’t think (generally) people do that daily especially in winter. Those I know don’t.

On my recent trip to Korea, I was rather surprised to see a big range of eye makeup for men - I don’t even know how to use half of the things. Ok, even those in the women’s section, I don’t. Kekeke.

How did I not know that Asian scalps get oilier more quickly? Is this true for the Indian subcontinent as well? @confusedheart @gm4queen @kokodus @Lmangla

 

I don't have the time to wash my hair every day - it takes too long to dry it. Plus it gets frizzy. Also, it doesn't look greasy even in warmer weather.

 

@joccu @larus @sweetroad How about you guys? Do you also not wash your hair every day?

hahahha... it is probably due to the weather? at least I find that in colder climates, my scalp does not get as oily as quickly. that said, I think it is funny that despite how oily our skin is naturally, we still have traditional oil massage treatment at hair salons. it is a nice way to indulge. they will massage your hair with coconut oil, steam, and then wash it and dry. this was something people used to do at home but nowadays time is a luxury.
