I’m watching a new drama with that same female lead called The Smile Has Left Your Eyes. It was a total mistake watching it when it is still on air. I have to wait a week between each two episodes. It’s really good so far!

Thumb hearts, I was completely mystified by that for months and finally remembered to Google it. The music, meh. Sometimes those drama tracks get so tired when I hear them during every significant moment of the drama "LOVE IS THE MOoooMENT..." That the last thing I want to do is listen to them more afterward. LOL. Haven't run into the White Truck of Doom...WAIT unless you mean the ubiquitous speeding utility truck that runs down the hapless lead as he's crossing the street...the streets of Seoul are DEADLY I tell you. Falling out moms: I must have skipped those dramas. Yeah, that whole 'are you stupid?' push-pull thing they have for the flirting...haha. Drama Fever and Viki can be tried for free for 30 days. I really feel what I pay per month is worth it, since it's less than $5 and considering the shameless number of hours I stream. I pay more for Netflix and watch it less. Thanks for reaching out, my drama chingu!Larissa Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901400647777521741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869766342171493242.post-30249900420833250342017-11-07T17:07:38.112-05:002017-11-07T17:07:38.112-05:00LOL re: the meat cure, Smith!

I am always tring to convince peoplecto watch. I only listen to K drama ost's o my kindles, so happy when someone asks what I am listening to. The most exciting thing haooened on my doctors visit when the new nurse adked me what I was listening too and when I told her she said her mother loved Kdrams too. crazy to get excited about soneone you may never even know. I love it all so much I am actually studing korean little by little with books from TTMIK. Lastly, add in thumb hearts, the white truck of doom, mother whobreceive bad news falling all over the place( curently watching Father I'll take care of you as to save up shows to marathon) lots of falling in that one, also leaving work snytime you feel like it, meeting up eith your nemesis to be called whatever, the guy who loves you not saying anything when mom calles you a disgracful social climber, and him calling you ugly all the time.Many more ,but that's enough. FYI you can whatch for free no commercials at www.dramaload.se make sure you scroll down to the second listing after you choose your drama. The first listing is for paid down loading. Also it gets crowded and you may not be able to watch the newer dramas, and it is only good on the first 2 feeds,the others get dicy. I hope this helps someone having trouble finding a place to watch. There are also some older dramas the are top notch and worth a try. Someone new can really have fun marathoning those( Kim Sam Soon, My Girl, Your Beautiful, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, City Hall, Coffee Prince, Queen In Hyun's Man( Joseon time travel in reverse), Greatest Love and the list goes on. Thank you for this fun post, came to see your awesome crafts and what an extra pleasure surprie.

Maybe I should try again. The female lead just turned me off bigtime and the over the top styling of the F4 just pushed me over the edge. I gave up after one episode. Currently watching While You Were Sleeping, Because This is My First Life, Goblin, and Shut Up, Flower Boy Band! I have managed to control myself re: Korean phrases. I use them on purpose and with great relish on my teen girls because they relentlessly hassle me for watching the dramas. I can restrain myself during other times but I often think Korean words now.

Currently watching While You’re Sleeping, Package and Revolutionary love just because of Si Won. You? Did you find that there are times Korean phrases slip out in daily life?

I wonder if a Korean face mask will fix that? My faves are all on my Pinterest KDrama page, with the link at the end of the post ^ up there. I only pin dramas I loved! My all time faves have got to be My Love From Another Star and Descendants of the Sun. My latest fave has to be W Two Worlds because it's exactly like someone took the best music video ever made (Take On Me by Aha) and made it into a Korean Drama.

And then you find yourself googling about the celebrity and their history and the ladies clothes, where they get them from and do they come in my size. LOL. So true... I also find myself cannot find any other topic to talk to my friends when it comes to talking about TV shows. I can't deal with American shows with no endings anymore, I'm totally content with the 16 or 20 episodes and everything is great for everyone type ending. Truly bubble gum for the brain. I was telling my friends to start with DramaWorld, a mini series on Hulu and Viki, that's basically an Intro to Kdrama for the newbies. Plus, the lead is easy on the eyes too, that doesn't hurt. So glad you posted about the topic. What's your fav or ones that worth checking out?
