Hi My Sweetheart Episode 3 Recap

by staples

Once Bai Chu Jie leaves, Da Lung’s roommates appear, teasing him about his first kiss being with BCJ. The odd thing is, they don’t ask what happened or assume the two are dating. They just take the news at face value. Is it just a girlfriend thing to want all the details?

They tell DL that he’ll have “bad luck” from now on because he’ll see her face whenever he tries to kiss someone else. In order to dispel this cure, they say, they’d better go see the three beauties at the dance club. So they pick Da Lung up (again) and carry him off. This repeated carrying would be stupid if not for Da Lung’s comment:

Slide1

Now it’s just cute. Continue reading

Wallpapers for You

by staples

I haven’t blogged in a while, so I thought I’d give you all some beautiful wallpapers I made as an…offering? Yes, a peace offering. An olive branch, so to speak. The first involves Jang Geun Suk on a beach.

I can’t entirely recall what the dimensions are on these babies, but anyway… Here’s Shinee and the Golden Gate Bridge:

Please click on them to open the image in your window, click on the picture again to get the full-sized image, then right click and click on “Save Link As…” or “Save Target As…” Also, please comment and let me know if you decided to use on of them! I’m currently sporting JGS on my background.

Enjoy!

Guess What I Found?

by staples

It’s been a while since I last posted, simply because I haven’t watched any dramas in a long time. I’ve been trying to hold off in an effort to get college stuff done. But, instead of watching dramas, I found something else to waste my time on: online stories!

Yes, they’re as badly written as a Tellitubbies script on toilet paper, but some are okay! And they’re like drama replacements without the necessary video. There are two sites that I read online stories on: Quizilla and Writing.com. I’ll give you a list of some of my favorites from each. Continue reading

The Wallflower Episode 1

by staples

The landscape is a barren blizzard. A lone 20-something year-old boy stumbles through the snow, an older woman’s words echoing through his ears. “Kyohei, if you hate the you others make a fuss about, why not find the you that you like?” Continue reading

Hi My Sweetheart Episode 9 Recap

by staples

I realized that the 4-8 part II recap had a bit of episode 9 in it as well, so I’ll start where that leaves off: Hseui Hai has challenged Xue Zhang to a drinking contest. BCJ doesn’t want him to, so HH starts picking apart the holes in their relationship. This gets BCJ all riled up and the four of them (including the idiotic Cristina) begin the game. Continue reading

Blood Type and Personality

by staples

So whenever I stalk Asian actors on Wikipedia, I’m bound to find mention of their blood type. At first I was confused. Is it so that overzealous fans know if they can save their Oppa in the case of a horrible accident? But no. Apparently, the Japanese began this idea that blood type is an indicator of personality. Well, I found out my blood type today and so I began searching for what the web said was my personality. So if you know your blood type, look below to see if the personality predictions are correct. Continue reading

You’re Beautiful Necklace

by staples

A replica of the necklace TaeKyung gives Go Minam that I bought off Ebay

Isn’t it beautiful?! I mentioned in an earlier post a place you guys could go to get drama-related stuffs from ebay. Well, here’s the You’re Beautiful necklace I got! (Well, technically it’s two necklaces you’re supposed to wear at the same time. *fangirl sigh* It came in the most adorable pink box with a ribbon: the seller did a really good job! Though if it had come in it’s original packaging I probably would have freaked out a lot more as I opened it. Regardless, I knew I’d be less excited once I actually had it, and I was right. It’s not that the product didn’t meet my expectations, it definitely did. I think I’ll have to watch the last episode of YB to get myself all fangirl-crazy again. So…what do you guys think?

 

One thing I just noticed, though…see that little funny indent on the filled in metal star on the left in the bottom necklace? I’m not entirely sure it should be there. I didn’t pay it any attention before because it was too deep to be a “got bumped in transit” mark, but now that I think about it, I don’t think it should be there. But overall I’m happy with the product, so I won’t kick up a fuss about it.

Drama merchandise on Ebay!

by staples

Usually when one looks for drama merchandise of any kind, the first stop is Yesasia, where prices can make you keel over and die. On a good day.

I realized, however, that you can get drama goods cheaper on ebay if you wait a certain time after the drama has aired. Take, for instance, the seller moru_cn1 (http://myworld.ebay.com/moru_cn1/). (S)he has an entire section dedicated to drama wear stuffs, from Boys over Flowers to Stairway to Heaven, to You’re Beautiful, and other jewelry pieces stars have worn starting at 99 cents! (S)he does ship from China though, so depending on where you are it can take 13-25 days to reach you.

Wu Chun and Rainie Yang in Upcoming Drama!

by staples

My friend is an enormous Wu Chun fan (aren’t we all? hehehe) and I love Rainie Yang, so it looks like this is one drama we can both spazz about! According to CpopAccess, the two stars are leading in the upcoming drama Sunshine Angel 陽光天使. The story involves Continue reading
