Kmuse Top 5 (plus 2) Kdrama Countdown - Favorite Kdrama Drinking Moments

I would first like to thank everyone who has sent me suggestions on what topics I should cover in my Top 5 countdowns!  It has really gotten me excited to work with this segment as well as given me a lot of future ideas.  If you also would like to let us know what Top 5 you would like to see featured in our blog, be sure to leave it in the comments or send us a quick message on our FB page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-crazy-ahjummas/336988683021748?fref=ts).  As I was going through the hundreds of dramas that I have watched trying to pick my favorite drunken kdrama moments, I realized that I might have more than just 5 so you get a few extra bonus moment of hilarious imbibement as a thank you for following our blog.  If there is a top moment that you think I missed be sure to let us know!

#5 Don't Drink and Date- My Secret Hotel

Number five on the list is from the newest show on our recap list (be sure to check it & our recaps out) My Secret Hotel.  Who knew that Yoo In Na could play such a likable drunk.  Her character Sang Hyo goes into despair when she is forced to plan her ex husbands wedding, which leads to a couple drinks, which in turn leads to her flopped on the floor of the hotel, proposing to her boss.  That is one way to get noticed by your hottie boss.

#4 Drink til you are Drunk and Then Some - History of A Salaryman

Next we have a scene from one of my all time favorite dramas "History of a Salaryman".   It is always on the top of my recommend list and one of the most underrated dramas out there.  Bratty chaebol heiress Yeo Chi challenges a local mob boss (and two of her coworkers) to a drink off with the last one standing (or not throwing up) winning a boon of their choice.  Yeo Chi manages to drink everyone under the table and still be sober enough to trick her crush into taking her home.  That is truly a talent worth photographing.

#3 Drunken Possession-The Masters Sun

Nothing screams comedy more than a fun comedic actress becoming a dog due to ghostly possession.  Luckily for Tae Kong Sil (and we viewers), this only happens when she imbibes and her emotional boundaries are down.  Leading man, Joo Joong Won, got an unexpected midnight visitor when Kong Sil comes to visit possessed by the ghost of his dead ex-girlfriend.  And then proceeded to see a whole lot of crazy as she was then possessed by a toddler, a seductive french dancer, and finally a feisty dog.  Needless to say, Kong Sil should be careful to stick to Sprite in the future.

#2 Drink til you Feel the Urge to Reenact ET - My Love From Another Star

Doing something embarrassing while drunk is taken to a whole new level when it comes to our favorite alien.  In a flashback Do Min Joon explains the events that lead to his current need for sobriety.  Unknowingly drinking rice wine during the Joseon period, Min Joon got tipsy and lost his serious demeanor.  Losing it by making things float in the air and taking a horse for a joy ride across the path of the moon.   I guess that if I was alive during a time where they promptly killed anything unknown, I would try to keep my ET moments to a minimum as well.

3 WAY TIE FOR #1

Drunken Seduction - Witch's Romance

I love this scene where the romance really starts to heat up between our leading lady Ji Yeon and her much younger costar Dong Ha.  We get a narration by Ji Yeon's BFF, Na Rae, who explains that somehow her friend always seduces her boyfriends with her drunken crazy persona.  As Na Rae is narrating we see Ji Yeon compliment herself in front of traffic mirrors, fight with banners, and order Dong Ha into her house to have another drink.  The drunken crazy is obviously in full swing.

Poor Dong ha did not have a chance since a drunk Ji Yeon pretty much assaults him with her mouth.  But after a second he is fully involved and they move it to the bedroom.  I will let you all see the next parts via pictures since they truly do the scene better justice than my prose can.

You Drunken Dog You - Reply 1994

This wins my vote for most unexpected reaction to drinking.  Before all of the OTP (one true pairing) wars that this drama created, there was a wonderful drinking scene between the cast as they just hang out in the living room chatting and drinking beer.  But it was when Sung Na-Jung (played by the hilarious Go Ara) started winking that it got truly amusing.  Her roommate, Haetae, starts to tell in a voice over, that whenever Na Jung drinks she turns into a real dog.  We see her walk over to her roommate/brother figure Trash and lean in really close. Just as you think she is going to passionately kiss him, she bites his lip instead.  HAHAHA, truly a funny drama moment and makes you wonder how they filmed it without cracking up laughing.

Unsanitary Drinking - You're Beautiful 

I will never forget one of my first and most memorable kdrama drinking scenes.  This one makes me gag to this day anytime I recall and is truly the grossest drunk moment on our list.  Nun turned kpop idol, Mi-Nam, has her first experience with champagne at a party where she is pretending to be her twin brother.  Feeling dizzy and nauseous, the poor thing heads to the rooftop where she finds her unsuspecting band mate.  Throwing up first in a planter (which is gross enough), she then falls on top of leading man and fellow band member Tae Kyeong.  At which time she promptly throws up again IN HIS MOUTH...  EW EW EW.. There is no amount of sanitizing that could make that poor boys mouth clean.

This concludes my trip down memory lane of my favorite drinking moments.  Remember to send me a quick note if you have a topic for our future countdowns, as well as if you have your own favorite drinking moment that is not already listed.  It is always fun to chat with other kdrama fanatics.

Kmuse's Top 5 Kdrama Countdown - Villain Edition

I know that I have not been doing my weekly top 5 countdown where I let you all know my favorite kdrama moments of the week.  Unfortunately real life and a whole bunch of vacations have interfered, however until I can get all caught up (which might be a couple of weeks) I decided to amend my past format and start doing themed countdowns.  This week you get to find out who my favorite villains are from the current airing dramas.  Who will win?  A scheming mother, a crazy magician, or maybe just a psycho 2nd lead? Come join me as I count down my favorite people who I love to hate!

#5 Min Hye Rin (aka The Iron Butterfly) - Endless Love

I originally thought that the bad guy was Park Young Tae ( the person who actually killed the heroines mother), but it turns out that the real villain of the drama is Hye Rin.  Wife of the current prime minister, her greed for power knows no bounds and she will do literally anything to further her goal of becoming the First Lady.  Even having the heroine, In Ae,  arrested, tortured, raped, and impregnated, so that her son will stop his infatuation with the delinquent actress.  And that is all without knowing that she is really the daughter of her husbands first love (the daughter she had ordered killed along with her mother 26 years earlier).  All of these things put her firmly in my best evil villains list.

#4 Kang Se Ah - Marriage Without Dating

 She is the worst kind of ex girlfriend, the kind that can not understand rejection and the word "NO".  While all the other characters have slowly grown on me (even ex-boyfriend with the peter pan complex), Se Ah's narcissistic entitled rich girl ways continue to drive me batty.  I don't care if it makes you unhappy to see your ex move on, it does not give one the right to ruin his life 3 years later.  My advice is go to a therapist and learn to get closure because right now you just coming across as bat crap crazy. 

#3 Merchant Choi (aka The Leader of the Gunman) - The Joseon Gunman
Choi Won Shin not only is an amazing bad guy, but a character that I love almost to the point that I can't hate him.  Merchant Choi is stuck in a situation where there are very few options. He either follows the directions of the evil nobleman, or he and his daughter will be enslaved and lose everything.  So in order to survive, Merchant Choi aligns himself with the strongest side and sets about eliminating their roadblocks.  Unfortunately one of those roadblocks was the hero's (Park Yoon Kang) father.  Personally I am still hoping that there will be some kind of redemption for him and we can see he and his daughter get a happy ending away from political scheming. 

#2 Sa Dam - The Night Watchman's Journal

Does he overact to the point it is almost comical?  Yes he does.  Does he have the classical evil villain vibe that is missing only a cape and a twirling mustache to become a cliche?  You bet ya!  And yet I can't get enough of Kim Sung Oh playing this over the top evil magician.  At this point I really have no clue what is going on except he has A serious love for his stone dragon and large staff/costumes, yet I am highly entertained through every episode.  It could be because he plays such a good opposite of our flamboyant hero Lee Rin.  Whatever the case, I say bring on the Liberace themed costumes and the evil cackles since I am waiting impatiently for the new episodes each week.

#1 Yeon Min Jung - Jang Bo Ri is Here

Do you ever wonder where evil mother-in-laws come from?  I am pretty sure it is from aging people like Yeon Min Jung.  Greedy and narcissistic to the nth degree, Min Jung lives her life hopping up the social ladder by stepping upon anyone and everyone.  If there was a gold medal for lying I can guarantee that she would win first place.  Unlike other evil villains, her lies sound so believable that I am pretty sure even she believes them.  Min Jung also does not let confrontation or surprises divert her from her evil goal, when confronted she is quick on the uptake to make up another lie to cover herself.  Her amazingly psycho character is the reason I am so excited to watch this drama each week, and I can't wait to see her fall into a pit of her own making (I am even thinking of looking up this actress and watching some of her other work, I am enjoying her acting so much).  

This completes my favorite bad guy segment.  Did your favorite make the cut?  Feel free to comment about your secret love for evil in the comments or be sure to like us on FB for more kdrama discussion and updates.

Top 5 Kdrama Countdown - June Week 4

Hello all you Crazy Ahjumma readers!  I am so sorry for missing a week of my Kdrama Countdown.  Last week I ran out of time and had an all around lack of epic moments to write about (Refer to my #1 moment of this week) so I decided to just take a break til the new batch of dramas aired.  Thankfully we are back with a ton of great moments as well as a whole bunch of new dramas to talk about.  So without further ado, lets discuss my favorite kdrama moments of the last week of June!

#5 Who Knew That I Enjoy Trot Music? -Trot Lovers

I guess that there is an old Korean Ahjumma trapped within me since I actually really love the OST for Trot Lovers.  It is so fun to listen to the music and Jung Eun Ji's voice is perfect for this style.  The drama itself is fun, if not overly original, and if you can get past Ji Hyun Woo's fixed teeth (who knew I would miss his crooked smile so much) it is a quirky summer romantic comedy.

 #4 Lee Joon Ki - The Joseon Gunman

Lee Joon Ki has always been truly amazingly attractive.  He was the king of the flower boys from way back, who has since emerged as a very masculine leading man post military.  But there is just something extra special about Lee Joon Ki in hanbok.   He just lights up the screen with his confident demeanor and is making the new Sageuk "The Joseon Gunman" a must watch drama.  This drama reminds me of historical dramas like "The Princess Man" and "Moon Embracing the Sun" in that it is really easy to understand.  A lot of times Saguek's have very intricate military/political plots that can be confusing for newcomers.  But this drama is perfect for that drama fan who wants a good story without too much complication.  And it has Lee Joon Ki so it is a win win for everyone.

 #3 Workplace Nemesis - The King of High School

It is no secret that I love Seo In Guk (seriously, you would have to be living under a rock to have not heard my fangirling squeals.)  But after watching "The King of High School" that love has increased exponentially.   Who would not love his character?  He is all that is admirable in a man/boy in that he is handsome, kind, and will stick to his moral compass no matter what.  We see this in episode 4 where he must stand up to a co-director who is hassling one of his employees.  Most people would sit back and see what happens before rocking the boat, but not Min Seok.  He openly opposes his nemesis and tells him that he has no manners and should learn to respect his elders.  It was a great moment that brought little happy fizzles within my heart.  Not to mention Seo In Guk is very sexy when he is aggressive and angry.

#2 The Secret is Out! - Triangle

You might be surprised that one of my favorite dramas right now is the epic brother reunion melodrama "Triangle".  just for clarification, if you are looking for a strong romantic storyline, then this drama is NOT for you.  For the most part the romance is pretty mild.  There are some sweet moments between middle brother, played by Kim Jae Joong (Protect the Boss), and his girl, but for the most part people are watching this drama for some super sweet bromance.  The bromance between oldest brother Jang Dong-Soo (Kim Beom Soo - Iris 2) and his younger brother Heo Young-Dal (Kim Jae Joong).  For weeks we have seen the two men growing closer and closer with their revenge plots, but the revenge heat was cranked to a whole new level once their biological connection came out into the open.  I got completely misty eyed when the two were finally able to reconnect with a huge hug and tons of crying.  Much better than most romantic kdrama moments, and completely worth watching 16 episodes of slow and steady plot buildup. 

#1 No more boring dramas!

I don't know why, but I fell out of love with an insane amount of dramas in this last batch.  They started out with so much promise, good premises, great actors, but then they just fell flat.  Flat as a pancake after it has been run over by a steamroller.  So I happily say goodbye to those (and a few that have one or two weeks left) dramas and begin the process over with some great new dramas that have not disappointed me yet.  Just so you guys have a list of dramas I did not really enjoy for future reference, Big Man, A New Leaf (now in my top most boring of all time list), Golden Cross, Wild Chives and Soy Bean Soup (Why did you have to grow up younger cast?), Doctor Stranger (Even the amazing acting of Lee Jung Suk could not save this train wreck), and Gap Dong.  You are gone and won't be missed.  

And that completes my favorite moments of the week!  Just a heads up that I will be on vacation in another week which means that my blogging/kdrama time will be greatly decreased.  On an up note, the lake house will have wifi!  On the downside, I am sharing it with my in laws, three sister in laws plus their spouses/children and none of them understand the importance of all things kentertainment.  This of course means that I am going to have to sneak my kdrama time in during the wee hours of the night.  As of now I am determined to still get my blog posts in, but the chances are really good that they will be mini-caps.  I hope you will continue to support me during this hard time (seriously, how am I going to survive????)

Top 5 Kdrama Countdown - June Week 2 : Upcoming Drama Edition

It's that time again where we have a ton of dramas ending which of course means a whole slew of dramas are getting ready to air.  It is a whole new race to see which dramas are going to rise to the top, which are going to tank, and those that will be those hidden gems.  Anticipation is one of the things that makes kdramas so wonderful.  So come check out which ones are my top 5 anticipated dramas of the summer.

Note: I snagged the some of the information/descriptions from My Drama List website since there is not a more detailed synopsis's out yet.  If you are not already keeping track of your dramas here, then be sure to check it out.  It is perfect for keeping track on which episodes you are on, upcoming dramas, as well as various articles.

#5 Endless Love

Synopsis
After a traumatic past of witnessing her mother's death, Seo In Ae (Hwang Jung Eum - Secret Love) grows up as an ambitious woman with a sharp mind who knows how to grab people's hearts, while still holding hope to avenge her mother someday. Since childhood, her life has been entangled with two opposite-personalities brothers from a poor fisherman family, Han Kwang Hoon (Ryu Soo Young - 2 weeks) and Han Kwang Chul (Jung Kyung Ho - Heartless City). Kwang Hoon is the elder brother and an ambitious man. Kwang Chul has never stopped loving In Ae, who is his older brother's lover.

Thoughts
This drama has combined the leads of two of my favorite dramas from 2013 (Secret Love & Heartless City).  Add to that a action packed suspenseful first trailer, and I am already hooked.  It looks like this one is going to be the heart gripping crack drama of the summer that you just can't stop watching

Endless Love Trailer

#4 Fated To Love You & Marriage Without Love

These two dramas are tied, since both are on my short list for my second recap after the mess that is Gap Dong finishes (Oh thank goodness that disaster of a drama is almost over).

Fated to Love You

This drama is actually another Taiwanese remake and is going to hopefully be able to have the same success that the other Tdrama remake, Witch's Romance, had.

Synopsis:
An ordinary woman happens to spend one night with the successor of a large company (due to some heavy medication on both sides). She finds herself being pregnant and they get married.

Thoughts
I loved the Taiwanese version of this drama so there is a good chance that I will love this one as well.  My only concern is that Ethan Juan did such a superb job as the lead, I am not sure I will be able to dissociate him from the character when Jang Hyuk (Iris 2) takes over.  I am really hoping that the Korean version is able to have the same chemistry the original had, or I will be very disappointed.  On an up note, it is only 16 episode rather than the originals 24.  That means a tighter storyline and less filler which is the curse of almost all Tdramas.

Marriage Without Love

Synopsis
Gong Ki Tae (Yun Woo Jin - Arang and the Magistrate) is a finicky son of a rich family who hates having his parents try to set him up on marriage dates.  In order to avoid the complications and hassle of his matchmaking family, he hires Joo Jang Mi (Han Groo) to pretend to be his serious girlfriend.  She is hired specifically for her poor background, which would inhibit his family from pushing for a wedding.

Thoughts
I usually enjoy Yun Woo Jin as an actor (even if I don't like all his dramas).  The premise also is very cute and has a lot of potential.  Add in the fact that it is on TvN, which is the cable station that seems to air all my favorite dramas, and we hopefully have a winner.  But do I really want to recap this one without having proof this couple has chemistry?  Hopefully I will get a better trailer from both dramas, before I am forced to pick one or the other for recap.
Marriage Without Love Teaser

#3 The Night Watchman's Journal

Synopsis
This drama is set in Joseon dynasty about a  crown prince (Jung Il Woo - Golden Rainbow, Moon Embracing the Son) and his bodyguards who are capturing ghosts during their routine night patrols. 

Thoughts:
In theory this sounds awesome.  Does anyone else imagine a Korean version of the tv show Supernatural when they hear the synopsis.  Of course, I am sure it will be a lot more involved with politics than is indicated by the description, since this is a sageuk after all.  But at least we will get to stare at Jung Il Woo in period costume, which is always a joy to behold.

#2 The Joseon Gunman

Synopsis
In the time of enlightenment of 19th-century Joseon. It stars a hero (Lee Joon Gi - 2 weeks) who is the son of Joseon’s greatest swordsman. He loses his father and younger sister, after which he trades sword for gun as he embarks on his revenge mission, and in so doing the drama will “depict the pain and courage of the young people of the era.”

Thoughts
This is the drama I am most worried about letting me down.  The promotion campaign for The Joseon Gunman has been by far the best I have ever seen.  The posters, the trailers, the billboards, have all contributed to my really really high expectations.  It also stars Lee Joon Gi, who I consider to be one of the best actors for Sageuk's. That said, the last time I let a really gorgeous cinematography campaign suck me in, I was stuck with 20 hours of boring staring competitions with little plot (I am talking about you The Blade and Petal).  That is 20 hours that I can not get back.......my brain still hurts just thinking about that trauma.  So once burned I am twice shy, but even so I can't stop myself from getting a little excited while watching all the action in the teasers.

The Joseon Gunman Trailer

#1 High School King (as if there was any  doubt)

Synopsis:
Popular high school senior and hockey star, Lee Min Seok (SEO IN GUK!!!!!!! - Reply 1997), receives a call from his estranged brother telling him that he needs to pretend to be him at his new job.  It's a matter of life and death.  Being the awesome brother he is, Lee Min Seok, takes over the role of a manager at a local company.  He continues to lead a double life resulting in a lot of running, lifestyle crossovers, and a love interest with the intern he is the "boss" of.

Thoughts
It's Seo In Guk, in a romantic comedy, on TvN (Oh please please please have some good make out scenes!!!).  What is not to love?  For those of you who are unaware (you obviously must be 1st time readers) Seo In Guk is my #1 bias and I love everything he does.  So I am of course recapping this drama for "The Crazy Ahjummas" so be sure to check back Monday night/Tuesday morning for my first recap.  It should be a fun and crazy ride of a drama.

High School King Trailer

Honorable Mention

-It's Okay, That's Love-

Synopsis
Jung Jae-Yeol (Jo In Sung - Winter the Wind Blows) is a mystery writer and radio DJ. He suffers from a obsession. Ji Hye-Soo (Gong Hyo Jin - Masters Sun) is going through her first year fellowship in psychiatry at a University Hospital. She chose psychiatry because she doesn't want to perform surgeries. After she meets Jung Jae-Yeol, her life goes through big changes.

Thoughts
I will happily give this one a try for it's amazing cast.  I have also always wanted to see Gong Hyo Jin in a more serious role.

-Trot Lovers-

Synopsis
The feisty heroine (Jung Eun Ji - Reply 1997) works multiple jobs as the breadwinner to support her father and younger sister. Her mother was a trot singer and she inherited the voice, along with hopes of being a trot singer herself someday. The drama will be about her journey to stardom, and the bickering romance that ignites with the leading man (Ji Hyun Woo -Queen IN Hyun's Man), the arrogant star musician who could not be more opposite in personality. He’ll be prickly and snobby, but he’ll be the person to help her realize her dream.

Thoughts
First reason, Ji Hyun Woo is back from the military.  Is there really any need for a second reason to try out this drama?

Trot Lovers Trailer

Top 5 Kdrama Countdown - June Week 1 :The top 5 things that annoyed me this week edition!

I decided to switch things up this week.  So instead of telling you my favorite kdrama moments, I am instead going to discuss what is currently annoying me.  Because sometimes a blogger just needs to vent.  So please join me in discussing what moments just irked me to the point of ranting.  If you have any that I missed, feel free to share in the comment section, or on our Facebook page.  After all, misery loves company.

Top 5 Kdrama Countdown : February Week 2

This is the first week where many of our shows have been preempted or delayed because of the Olympics (thankfully South Korea has a smaller Olympic team than the US so while some shows are preempted to watch competitions, the majority of our dramas are still airing) which has caused some problems in finding five "really epic" moments.  Luckily we had an amazing performance by an Asian competitor in the Olympics so my top 5 was able to be rounded out without doubling up on any one drama.  With that said, I hope you enjoy my countdown this week.

 #5 I Love A Tough Female Character

So I will let you in on a secret.  The actress that plays Gaya (Lim Soo-Hyang- New Tales of a Ginsaeng, I Do I Do) tends to play all of her characters very cold and wooden which usually annoys me.  But luckily she was finally cast in as a character that is supposed to be very cold and wooden so it is no surprise that she NAILS IT!  I have actually heard some people talk about how they don't like how the writers have made her so mean and unlikable.  But I would say she is more strong and capable and surviving in a very harsh enviroment.  She has that something that is almost always missing in historical heroines in dramas, intelligence and nerves of steal.  There is nothing more annoying than having a girl go around ringing her hands and either whining or crying over life's hardships (I am looking at you 2nd lead Kim Ok-Ryeon) so it is nice to see a female character that not only is tough she is down right scary.  In episode 10 we see Gaya arrive in Shanghai and then go alone into enemy territory.  Also can I just say that visually this scene was amazing.  The contrast of her in her beautiful Kimono against all the thugs in black was awesome and made her character look even more of a bad ass.  So at least on my part I give kudos to the casting of Lim Soo Hyang because for once I am enjoying one of her dramas.

#4 Kim Soo Hyun's Tears

Is there something wrong with me that I kind of like to watch Kim Soo Hyun cry?  Ever since watching him in The Moon That Embraces the Sun I just cant get enough of it.  He not only does the pretty cry, but it eventually turns into an emotionally devastated cryfest that is raw and not pretty.  Any time one of his characters does this it totally gets me sobbing right there along with him.  We get to see a lot of crying in this weeks episodes of My Love From Another Star.  It is no picnic having to tell your soul mate that you love her but you only have thirty days before you jump on your spaceship and disappear from her life.  But his character does it with such emotion that I just adore this scene. That is why KSH's crying earns him a spot on this weeks top 5!

Angst and Crying Clips ep 9 & 10

#3 Valentine Bromance

Our #3 moment is brought to you from ep 12 of Let's Eat.  It's Valentines Day and Lawyer Kim Hak Moon is feeling romantic (never have I seen a funnier lovelorn character).   He is buying Soo Kyung some chocolates and runs into Dae Young who guesses correctly about his unrequited love.  Our love sick lawyer confesses his concerns and Dae Young is able to give him a huge pep talk.  The true joy of this scene is that while the two talk about confessing and love angst they get really cute and bromancy to the point that they themselves look like a couple out on valentines day.  Lets Eat is such a cute show and while it is obviously forcing the bromance moment on us with the subtly of a speeding train, it still is adorable and hits all the awwwwwww cute/funny buttons for the viewers.

Bromance Support Clip

#2 What is a Power Hungry Dad to Do?

I am really starting to enjoy the daily drama A Well Raised Daughter.  On one side we have Jang Ha Na, the main girl who is pretending to be a man.  On the other side we have a chaebol father who is planning a hostile take over of Ha Na's Soy Sauce Company.  To his dismay he finds that his oldest illegitimate son (who mostly has been raised to be his dads thug) refuses to do anything that might hurt Ha Na.  His daughter declares that she is going to marry him/her since he is so pretty.  And his other son (who is Ha Na's roommate and the current love interest) tells his dad that he is pretty sure he is gay and loves his roommate.  One cross dressing girl causing havoc in this poor tycoons life is very amusing.  It also helps that for once we have a father who actually loves/listens to his children to an extent which makes the whole situation more funny then angsty.  If you want to check out this drama you can find it at darksmurf subs. 

If you want a sense of the drama's romance then check out the below clip.  Trying to make a condition conductive to cuddling (between main guy and their daughter) the evil mother ahjumma breaks the heat for the house.  Ha Na goes to fix it and instead breaks a pipe.  Her roommate/love interest also goes down to the boiler room to check on the heat and finds Ha Na drenched.  Needless to say that sparks and water fly in this clip.

#1 An Amazing Win at the Olympics

OK So I know this is not Kdrama related and that he is Japanese not Korean.  But this guy's short skate program was amazing and one of the best things I have watched on TV this week.  So Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu you are #1 on my list this week.  Congrats to Yuzuru Hanyu on winning the Gold and breaking the record for the highest scoring short program in history!

Be sure to check out the blog in the next couple weeks since there will be some fun changes happening and hopefully we Ahjummas will be able to entertain you even more than we already are.  Not to mention I will be recapping Seo In Guk, my #1 bias's new web series Another Parting (Check below for trailer).  So be on the lookout for that along with my usual recap of I Need Romance 3 in which hopefully we will start seeing the romance.  Until then I wish you all a busy kdrama filled week.  

Sincerely,
