Oh yes! Another WGM lover! The only couples I got to watch so far are Andy-Solbi and Alex-ShinAe but since Alex had to go concentrate on his album, I only got Andy and Solbi to watch. Maybe I'll try out the other couples soon too.

I sooo Love AnBi (Andy Solbi) They're so funny and really cute. And I think Solbi really likes Andy, and Andy is slowly falling too. I hope they become a couple in real life. WGM has really made them very popular nowadays. My fave episode is episode 7, the Shinhwa episode. Man, I was on the floor laughing my ass off the whole episode.

I'm currently downloading Lee Dong Wook's drama that's currently airing in Korea. The title is La Dolce Vita. I'm gonna go see if it's good.

I'll get back to Memories of Bali one of these days.

This thread is getting slower and slower..i wonder why?.

Mrs. Somerhalder · 05-31-2008, 09:32 AM

Hey Meg!

Oh yeah, I noticed that too... Hmm...

Anyway, what do you think of putting our drama/movie recommendations in the first page whether it be korean, japanese, taiwanese, etc. just to serve as reference for people who want to ask for good dramas/movies to watch.

meg25 · 06-01-2008, 04:48 AM

Karen, good idea!

Okay, here's the deal..We need your list of recommended drama and a little back ground.

Mrs. Somerhalder · 06-01-2008, 08:22 AM

Ok Meg, though as of right now, I can only help with korean dramas, you know my story.

For my Korean drama recommendations:

My Lovely Samsoon (aka My Name is Kim Samsoon)
Starring: Kim Sun Ah (She's On Duty, S Diary), Hyun Bin (A Millionaire's First Love, The Snow Queen)
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Synopsis:
Kim Sam Soon (Kim Sun Ah) is a baker who has a talent in making pastries and cakes. On Christmas Eve, she caught her boyfriend, Min Hyun Woo (Lee Kyu Han), cheating on her and breaks up on the same night. On that same night, she accidentally went into the men's restroom and met Hyun Jin Hun (Hyun Bin), a somewhat callous fellow but sometimes considerate guy. By sheer coincidence, Jin Hun needs a baker for his restaurant Bon Appetit and Sam Soon is unemployed. Sam Soon is hired as the restaurant's chief baker and the two fights like cat and dog. Nevertheless, they started to have feeling for each other and Sam Soon agreed to post as Jin Hun's girlfriend so his mother would leave him alone. Things got complicated when Jin Hun's ex-girlfriend Yoo Hee Jin came back from the States intending to win him back.

After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt.
