I suppose that means I'm setting this in Korea?
I just realized it's August 29 already. That gives me only ten days to make my 
blind_go entry, since I'll have to send it out for beta before the fifteenth. The problem is I'm only coming up with character sketches, so I'm thinking I can post them here, even if they are likely to become part of the main story. It'll defeat the purpose of guessing who wrote it, though.
Koreankitchen.com and Evil Jungle Prince's korean recipe blog make me salivate with their recipes. One of these days I'll try them out, especially the Tofu Steak with Cabbage and Radish Kimchi. Years ago some friends tried to make me eat kimchi, but that was before my 'I'll eat anything spicy' phase. I wonder what I missed? The problem is I've never been too fond of cabbage, but I'll try to get over that. Also, some wagashi recipes, yummy! Now if only I can find the ingredients.
I've made a tentative list of series I want to look in more fully (re: drama habit): Successful Story of a Bright Girl (Myeongnyang sonyeo seonggonggi), Autumn Fairy Tale (Gaeul donghwa), My Lovely Sam-Soon (Nae ireum-eun Sam-Soon), Daejanggeum (Because yes, I have SuYeong watch it with An TeSon *sporfle*), and Green Rose (Geurin Rojeu). I should find time to read through more drama-oriented series, the selection reflect a lighter taste than I wanted.
I must be taking the phrase 'fleshing out your characters' to an extreme. The following statements reflect only the writer's opinion of what their preferences would be: SuYeong drinks honey jujube tea (ggool tae-chu cha), YeongHa drinks five tastes fruit tea (omi-ja cha) or citrus tea, and An TeSon takes green tea (nok cha).
Sooner or later I'll have to get used to talking about An TeSon as only 'TeSon' as that's his given name.
Edit News from the USGo newsletter: Chinese director Tian Zhuangzhuang's long-awaited biopic of Go Seigen (Wu Qingyuan) -- The Go Master -- will hold its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, which runs Sept. 29 - Oct. 15. "The Go Master is based on the true-life story of the world's most renowned master of the ancient Asian game of Go, Wu Qingyuan," reports indiewire.com "A Chinese prodigy practicing a Japanese game, Wu's allegiances are torn by the increasingly bellicose relations between the two countries. Remaining in Japan in spite of the outbreak of war, and later, sucked into a religious cult which tries to exploit his celebrity, Wu (excellently played by Chang Chen) is the still center of the storm, following his own inner notions of spiritual integrity and loyalty to the discipline of his chosen vocation." Festival schedule and ticket information will be available online on Sunday, September 10th at http://www.filmlinc.com/nyff/nyff.htm
Also: Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo (TokiKake) looks interesting. I found it while I was searching for information about Satoshi Kon's Paprika, which is part of the same festival.
