Eat Your Kimchi

Is it wrong to pimp another site on our blog? Well, cool is cool, so, we have to spread the love. Eat Your Kimchi has slipped past our/my notice, but fortunately, the more “important” folks—Star King and Arirang TV, to name a few—have paid them attention. If you don’t know about Eat Your Kimchi, then, you must … Read more

Heartstrings Week 7: At your side

YFMct

What I’ve really come to love about Lee Shin and Kyu Won’s relationship is that they are open and that their foundation is built by them not leaving each other, staying together amidst the rain. And to have someone like Lee Shin beside you in this storm is the sweetest thing EVER. Yeah, like enjoying … Read more

Heartstrings / YFFM Recap MV: Episodes 9 to 11

gyuwonleeshin

Making the third Heartstrings Recap MV has been extra fun because of the visual goodness of the last 3 episodes. The Shin and Gyu Won moments have been deliriously abundant. In addition to Shin’s precious stares/smiles, Show’s asking for a countdown of the top 10 romantic scenes. I could probably pluck a healthy number from … Read more

feat1

Words we learned this week: ChaBoOon = Cockblocker Grandpa’sLifeStory = Cruel and unusual punishment HeeJoo’sMom = Evil, demonic stage mom TaeJoonSunbae = Jealous, dickless wanker (yeah, I know it’s an oxymoron) *** I often fall for the main leads in dramas but I must say it’s not the case in this one.

yffm11

We get more sweetness in the next episode, but Gyu Won and Shin’s fresh relationship will be tested. I can already see Gyu Won receiving the unfair judgments of her peers. Ugh.

Heartstrings / YFFM Recap MV: Episodes 5 to 8

yffmrain

Episode 9 of Heartstrings … loved it. Yeah, not much to say about it other than it makes me spazz and having me wait impatiently for episode 10. Too many good scenes in episode 9 that I wish I could have included them in this recap MV of Heartstrings. The title of the MV is … Read more

Heartstrings / You’ve Fallen For Me Episode 9 Video Preview

yffm9

Oooh, they’re back to bickering, but Shin and Gyu Won are pretty much tethered to each other at this point. You two may fight, but you won’t be able to avoid the inevitable. Episode 9, give me what I want: a hug or a kiss! That’s much better than telling a girl, “Don’t stop liking … Read more
