  1. Good morning (or afternoon), everyone. I hope everyone slept well? Esp if you watched the drama and can now say that K-netz comments about IU's acting were bull. Did I mention that my resolve broke and I cheated by watching the drama? Though I am glad that I did. By the way, some of these screencaps for KHN and IU ... Although I could be persuaded into the IU + LJK corner I am very happy that IU's character will not be having a one-sided/unrequited love like Cindy in Producer?
  2. Ok. I lied. I had a lot of things to do but I watched the first 20 minutes or so of the drama.
  3. So folks, just to share. It seems like the real story of the day is the acting of some of the princes! ì•„ì´ìœ 보단 ì˜¤ížˆë ¤ 남주í˜, í™ì¢…현, 백현 ì—°ê¸°ë•Œë¬¸ì— ë‚œë¦¬ë˜ë°.
  4. @blue I saw comments that IU's acting was not terrible and that it was pretty good. However, as you saw from previous dramas, there will always be some who can't fess up that IU is not a bad actress. I will most certainly be watching it; just not today, unfortunately. By the way, it's too bad about the drama OST. It sounds like it doesn't really fit. Sigh. That was one of my fears after hearing some of the names for the OST. Unless they were aiming for fusion or something, that type of music is generally a mismatch. They would have been better off with IU singing a song like the Queen SoonDuk (sp?) OST.
  5. By the way, some of the comments seem to indicate that there wasn't a lot of LJK or IU in the first (or two) episodes. Is that right? Was the first two parts more of an introduction to the background and the characters? edit: Also, that second article pics show captures of IU with her eyes wide. Isn't that article kind of like inviting negative comments purposely?!? I mean it looks like it was deliberately crafted to elicit negative comments and give the people an impression of her acting based solely on those pics. Kind of makes me wonder how many of them have watched and how many are going by screencaps?
  6. Thank you for pointing that out. These people were already judging things in article comments BEFORE the drama aired. I'm just going to watch it myself some time later this week once I have some down time. Although from what I was able to skim through, it looks interesting/good. Keeping my fingers crossed for ML/SH!!!!
  7. Hi, folks. I haven't seen ML/SH yet but I will do so as soon as I can. However, I want to bring this to your attention. First, even before the drama aired, there were quite a fair number of folks already sh*tting on IU's acting. They were going to say it was bad no matter what. (Interesting thing is that the article I saw this was majority females.) So unless IU was outstanding, I mean really outstanding, she was going to get negative reviews. Second, don't go by what these netz are saying. Be your own judge. Remember Producer and how they ragged on IU and her acting when Cindy was supposed to be this tired yet cynical character? Perhaps it will pick up and we just have to see it transition like Producer, esp if the ML/SL first episode was rushed. If I remember correctly, I remember reading that the first two episodes of the original was kind of lacking too.
  8. Hahahaha .... Thank you KHN. You are just too awesome. By the way folks, last time I checked (maybe about a week ago), I did no see the a thread for Scarlet Heart yet. Since I'm lazy, I'll ask if anyone here has seen the thread for it? Thank you in advance for the link. edit: Never mind. I found it.
  9. Good morning!!!! @soojsooj that picture of IU is She looks so pretty!!! That fluffy hair style suits her to the tee!!!! On a side note, I noticed people saying good things about IU's acting! The only complaints I saw were those jealousy biddies saying how IU doesn't have an actress face/she's plain/etc. Same old, same old. I think things are looking good. Let's pray that IU will knock it out of the park and the writers keep the plot and interactions interesting and engaging!! edit: I saw another pic from that tweet that @soojsooj posted that I like a lot.
  10. IU is looking very pretty! I think I am in shipper's paradise. While I am not a serious shipper, IU brings the shipper out in me.
  11. Wow. I just saw this trailer. I am super excited for ML!! I am in shipper heaven. IU + KHN and IU+LJK!! I saw this on tumblr and I don't know who created it but it looked so pretty that I thought I'd drop it here. Although maybe this was posted here before?
  12. Ah ok. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that IU + LJK chemistry and IU + KHN chemistry is good/off the charts. Like everyone here, I'm excited about the drama but slight anxious at the same time. By the way, KHN + IU visually are a very, very appealing as a couple.
  13. Ohhhh .... That's an interesting observation. I kind of like the thought of IU+KHN but I also like the IU + LJK. In any case, I haven't had a chance to look it the videos but weren't these shot a while ago? I think I vaguely remember seeing these outfits a while ago???
  14. While I like the short bangs, I think I like the long-hair IU too.
  15. Hey, I just saw yknock on that thread "Queen of Scandals..". I was so surprised to see that person comment but I guess I shouldn't be. Anyways, here's another picture from the same event.
  16. I saw the NB article. What bunch of asses + they pick the most unflattering pictures of IU. edit: I wonder if these are click baits because they just don't have enough skills/professionalism to survive without these types of baits, the "journalist" that is.
  17. I just finished doing a quick scan of the comment section on one of ML's article and let me say that making LJK the main focus of the promotion was a very, very good idea. This particular article had few thousand + to the top comment and the commenters were about 70/30 female to male. They were mostly all about LJK and how great he looks and how he suits the historical dramas. After scanning through the comments, I couldn't agree more with the statement that female fans being more devoted to their stars (can't remember who said it though). I did not realize that he had such a big female following in SK. I am getting more optimistic just based on that alone. edit:
  18. A++++ comment I couldn't agree more. I've seen some really cruddy acting in k-drama that got good ratings and good actors/acting that got bad ratings. K-drama, I'm sorry to say, is inundated with corny, over-used plots and they wonder how an all star team can fail. It's too bad that they always try to scapegoat an idol when this happens.
  19. Hi, folks. Just read some of the comments and well ... my thoughts on this matter ... I think that they'll be enough people who will be hyper critical of her acting that I'd rather not add to or give them any ammunition. I'm with you that I would like to just watch it with an open mind and no preconceived notion about the drama and the characters. I rather like the actress IU and I hope to see IU's growth as actress continue. Sometimes I think that it would be good for IU to just keep a relatively low profile before and during her drama showing so that people can focus on the actress IU vs the singer IU. Singer IU is so impressive and has so much recognition that sometimes it can overshadow the actress IU and the role she plays. I think that some of the criticism of her acting is because of this reason (her singer IU persona is so strong and real to them that they have preconceived notion of her and the role she plays feels awkward to some). So while I wish we had more news of her, I would rather that she do less if that would help with separating out the actress IU from singer IU. I don't know if that made sense or not but those are my thoughts.
  20. Ok. I like Epik High and Lee Hi but for a period drama OST?? Singers with voices like IU and Lynn have vocal colors that suit these types of historical drama OST but I think that Lee Hi and Epik High fit more modern themed ones. Just my opinion but I am having some difficulty imagining them. As for anyone skipping IU's scene, how can you really enjoy the drama if you have to skip over one of the lead's storyline? I mean that would mean you were only watching it for eyecandy then.
  21. NO!!! That's the Chinese version. They probably made some changes to improve upon the original and keep the interest.
  22. Now, now ... let's be more positive here. According to my search, "In China, it is generally known as the “king of flowersâ€, symbolizing honor, wealth, and aristocracy, as well as love, affection, and feminine beauty. The tree peony has been frequently portrayed in significant Chinese works of literature and art." Although the color white is offputting since Asians used to wear white for mourning. BUT it also has positive connotations - "White, corresponding with metal, represents gold and symbolizes brightness, purity, and fulfillment." That's my one-minute education on symbolism for the day.
  23. Yes!!!! Thank you for the good news. I was getting sick of those comments that were knocking IU for her appearance. Just look at this pic that I grabbed from IUmushimushi and deny her attractiveness.
