    “I won’t communicate with you even though it would solve EVERYTHING if I did.”

    I HATE THIS SO MUCH. It drives me crazy. HYD is guilty of this too though: when Makino gets drugged and those pictures show up at school. And she doesn't SAY ANYTHING. It's clearly done just to up the angst factor and stuff like that just takes me right out of the story, especially because SHE WAS FREAKING DRUGGED.

    Ooo, I really want to watch Painter of the Wind, but I have a lot on my drama plate at the moment.

    Lol, my God how many dramas do they use that as a plot crutch?! I think almost every one of the romances on my list have used that at least once and its old. They should learn that! >.>

    Yes, do watch Painter when you can! I admit, I wished more for the ending but it was so worth the journey! It made me want to make a Hanbok! :3

    You what's sad? I wrote this list and then now I'm thinking of at least ten more I forgot. >.>

    You should watch Goong, soooo many pretty costumes. I want to make a hanbok too now! Capital Scandal has a fantastic wardrobe, but it is set in the 30's so you get really awesome gangster suits and cute little dresses.

    Finish you list! I am determined to keep mine updated as a reference.

    And I'm totally stealing your idea to have the qualifications for rankings at the top.

    I've seen some of Goong but for some reason didn't quite get attatched to is as I thought I would. I'll try again (::loves pretty dresses::)! Omigosh, we should make Hanboks together!! XD What I'm really intrigued about is making a gache; I'm already thinking exactly how I'd do it. Man, Painter of the Wind made me want to make traditional Korean attire so badly just because they just show the utter beauty of every portion of the outfit (there's a few eyebrow raising moments where the heroine paints her muse, a beautiful Korean-type geisha, a "gisaeng," and she takes off layers of her clothing--it's just as cool underneath!!) XD Hello! Miss showed me the beauty of their traditions, including the beautiful wedding attire! Dramas are educational!! derp ( ... )

    Ooo, you updated this! I need to put Couple or Trouble on my to-watch list along with the remaining Hong sister dramas.

    I HAAAAAAAAAATED Hello My Teacher with a burning passion. I could not STAND Bo Ri by the end of it. I only finished it for Gong Yoo (you need to check out Coffee Prince, btw. He's seriously fantastic in that drama).

    Lol, yes. I also stole your idea of putting the entry date higher so that it'd always be on top of my journal. Soooo basically I've stolen your entire concept. ^^; Imitation is the highest form of a compliment, right? ::isn't just a diry thief, trying to be as cool as Daron ( ... )

    It's cool! I like having your list easily found as a reference (I link to it in my entry).

    I agree, Tae In was the best part of the show. At least he was honest about his feelings and he actually GREW as a character. Bo Ri just failed in everything as far as I am concerned and I really liked her character in the beginning.

    I'm excited for Gong Yoo to get back from military duty which should be at the end of this year/early next year I believe. Hopefully he'll get lots of awesome drama roles upon his return!
