I ship Fairy w Kim Mo Rai. Secondarily, I ship her w Lee Joon as well as w Cha. I know it doesn’t make any sense, but I think she is so damn adorable that she deserves all the admirers there can be.
I like Young Saeng’s char on this show. I don’t ship him w the Cha girl. I rather dislike her personality, n think YS deserves better than her. Unless, of course she can change, n stop pretending to be so cool, so above it all, so much better than everybody.

@GHSForever,
This show will come to an end soon. I’ll go check out Standby, another sit-com. That one is supposed to be funny too.

Fairy got so many guys and she does not even realize that.
The reason why I like Joon the most now is that he is so joyful with Chae Hwa and also he is not so stiff around her.
I would rather see Youngsaeng with the Cha girl than her with her classmate(CNU) who has a crush on her. To be honest she does not deserve such a nice and cute boy like him. I would like to see CNU with the friend of Na Ra(the girl with the glasses). They would look so super cute together.
And I was a little sad because the cameo of Suzy was only for one episode. She is one of the few idols who really can act. No offense but there are few who really can’t act. And Suzy would have been the only character I would have shipped with Park Min Woo. I don’t like him to end up with Ha Ni. I would rather see him with Rainbow’s Woori than with her.
I know the show will end soon. Maybe they will extend it. For example at the beginning they said that it will only have 50 episodes but after they showed 40 episodes they changed it to 60. Maybe they will do it again. I have hope. Btw do you know if the show is popular in Korea?

Sorry folks, but it seems to me that fairy daughter Chae Hwa is already engaged and will eventually be flying back up to heaven once she and Wang-mo retrieve their wings. She will continue, of course, to have all of the guys, girls, and us, trembling in her presense and falling for her pretty face and sunny disposition until (and long after) that time arrives…

@robbo4
Did i miss something importent? I thought her past boyfriend dumped her. That is why she cried when she had to prepare of the wedding of the woman in the early episodes.

@KDaddict
Btw I watched her KBS Special Drama Slightly Risque Relationship. It was cute, awesome and hilarious. You should watch it. It has only 1 episode so it is easy to watch.

@GHSforever
You may correct. It’s been a while since the series began and I’m waiting for Darksmurfsubs or whoever finishes subbing the series to go back and rewatch everything, so I don’t quite remember what went on back then. It does seem to me that the fairys have to be fairys, so I figured that going back to their cloud was the inevitable course for the series. I’ll happily be wrong if that turns out not to be the case.

@robbo4
I would be really upset if she had to go back. She is such a cheerful character and the family members are so happy around her. I still remember the episode where the fairy and her mother went away for Africa and the whole family were depressed. I do not want to see them in this kind of situation again.
May 7th, 2012 at 10:08 pm
@GHSforever, robbo4,
I think it was in the 2nd or 3rd ep that she found out that the day after she left the heavens, her fiance went with sb else, just like that! So that’s water under the bridge. By contrast, Cha Se Joo has been so steadfast, loving her secretly, supporting her quietly by her side. I’m sure it will mean a gt deal to her when that love is revealed. She’ll stay with them, I’ll bet! Her mother can go back if she wants. But, how can they possibly find their fairy costumes, on the whole continent of Africa???
Need to find time to watch Standby!
@GHSforver,
What might be a good site to find Slightly risque relationship? I’m not good at finding these 1 or 2 ep Drama Specials or movies for that matter.
You not watching K2Hs or RTP???
May 7th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
@GHSforever-78,
I really like Young Saeng a lot; don’t like the Cha girl at all, so constipated, so dishonest, so not open, so full of sh_t. That’s why I don’t ship them, but I know mine is a lost cause. I wasn’t thinking of who the other young ppl would end up with. I’m ok abt that.
I’m not familiar w the KPop scene. I’m strictly a KD addict, n so don’t know the other idol stars, but sure know Suzy fr DH1. You r right, she is a gt little actress.
I hope u r right. I wouldn’t mind at all if they extend this show some more.
If u r curious abt this show’s ratings, u can check on KBS’ official website. My eyes already hurt fr watching too much KD!

I watched in on dramacrazy. I really enjoyed it!
So I was right that she was dumped by her previous boyfriend.
They should really extend it because it is an amazing show.
I watch the K2H but not RTP.
I don’t want to watch Rooftop Prince because I really can’t stand a ‘bitchy’ sister. It would make me so crazy taht I would go nuts.
K2H is really awesome. Why does Korea not want to watch such a good drama. Is Equator Man that much better? Maybe I give Equator Man a try although I do not like Uhm Tae Woong that much.
I started to watch the drama You are so pretty. I enjoy watching it but it has 135 episodes. I think I am gonna die:D

SPOILER episode 50 of I need a fairy:
This episode compared to episode 49 is a bit boring and not so many important things happened.
Episode 49 ended when Fairy mother visited a shaman(?). The shaman got an turtle and he gives Fairy mother a letter. She reads it and leaves somewhere.
Joon tries to get Fairy’s love and attention and what works better than giving her snacks:D I love him so much, he knows what Fairy loves the most and makes it his advantage to win her heart.
CNU and Gook Min bromance starts slowly. CNU visits the family and Gook Min gives him water because he is sick and tries to cheer him up.
Joon gives Woori the task to say to everyone I LOVE YOU.
Se Joon don’t like the atmosphere between Tae Hee and Uncle.
He tries solve the problem by telling a lie.The lie has something to do with the company and someone related to the drama( I am not quite sure about that. Well it works and Tae Hee and Uncle works really hard together. But unfortunately the lie gets so big that Se Joon has to admit that everything was a lie.
END!
Comment:
I did not like this episode this much. What I liked the most is that Gook Min and CNU bromance starts and that he is not only focused on Youngseung, his hyung:D
And I loved Joon’s smile. God I am fangirling right now.

I just try to look 4 this drama coz you, but I’m shocked!!..60 eps..to much!
better not now..I don’t want to be “Panda eyes”..
May 8th, 2012 at 10:09 pm
@hny:
60 eps of less than 30 mins each equals abt 30 eps of a regular series. Plus this is a sit-com, so no suspense, no angst, no problem!
May 8th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
@GHSforever,
Holy Moly! This series is choke full of Kpop idols n I was barely aware of it! After u mentioned it, I found out that:
NaRa’s classmate, the timid boy who has a crush on her, is played by B1A4′s CNU (Shin Woo);
The guy whom she has a crush on is SS501′s Heo Young Saeng; I guess their 2nd member to venture into acting, after Kim Hyun Joon;
While the dance teacher is MBLAQ’s Lee Joon;
and of course Suzy appeared as an aspiring actress in ep 26.
Now I can see why you ship Lee Joon w our fairy girl.
It barely registered on me, cos I’m not into Kpop. One of these days, I need to learn abt Kpop’s most famous bands n their music.
I know 2AM, 2PM, SNSD, SS501, Super Jr, Super Jr M, n not that much else.

@GHSforever-86,
Thank u for the link to watch SRR. I don’t ever go looking for films, n so don’t know where to find them.
You r rt abt RTP. The evil sister drives everyone crazy. Many pts r docked fr that show bc of her heavy presence IMO.
K2H is indeed awesome. But as it deals w N-S relations, n thorny issues, it doesn’t go down well w everyone, esp. in this political climate. Even some interntl viewers get pretty upset by it, in eps 13, 14, as u can see fr the latest comments on that thread.
Eq Man has such old themes of revenge for family n betrayal by best friend that tho I know it is a quality production n I like the actors, I loathe to watch that melodrama for the umpteenth time.

@KDaddict
yes there are alot of idol’s in I need a Fairy and luckily they can act. Btw you forgot to mention Woori from Rainbow.
Well my favourite K-Pop group is Sistar.
I don’t know which episode it was but Cha Chi Soo’s mobile phone had Sistar’s So cool as it’s ring tone.
Joon is so handsome and even the director is impressed by his acting.
Some people say that Joon should rather choose a drama instead of a sit-com for his acting debut. I disagree with that. There are many examples of idols who literally failed at this point. Besides the audience can see Joon 5 days a week and this is pretty much good for a ‘new actor’.
You welcome with the link, glad that I helped you. I am happy that the audience from abroad love TK2H. Count me in because I am from Germany.
I don’t know but I just cant stand evil sisters. I mean I TRY to understand them but they are so ‘bitchy’ that you can’t even feel pitiful for them because they are so miserable. For example Yellow Boots. The evil step-sister NEVER DID SOMETHING GOOD. And when I say never it does really mean never. Everytime I see her in that drama I could punch my laptop. Unfortunately she appears alot so I have the feeling almost everytime.
Btw Lee Yoori is awesome in that drama(again).
Well it seems like we can’t write spoilers anymore so we can only talk now. Bad for the people who can’t understand korean. I hope you will be still here in that thread:D

@GHSforever:
I welcome the No Spoilers policy, becos it is directed at ppl who like to post information abt UNaired eps! Once an ep has aired, it is in the public domain, n we can talk abt it. Heavens knows there is no way to wait till everyone has seen an aired ep b4 talking abt it, right?
I agree w you that this is a good vehicle for Lee Joon’s acting debut. It is not a particularly demanding role dramatically, so it is a good way to get his acting toes wet.
Forgive me for saying this: Unless u already know who they r, sometimes, the idols r not too impressive if you r just watching them as k actors.
Germany! Where? I spent last summer in Munich. 1 year I summered in the area of the Black Forest. Find the Modern Romance languages easy to learn, but German is sth else altogether! So difficult, so impenetrable.
I know what u mean by evil sisters. They r unbearable to watch. I liked Lee Yoori in Sparkling, but I didn’t think she was evil. At least she had a legitimate reason for going after what was rightfully her, plus the guy, who wasn’t. But she got what she deserved at least 10 eps b4 the ending. So that was satisfying.
Oh, I see, so Woori is from Rainbow! Never heard of the group. Now off to google.
May 10th, 2012 at 4:57 pm
@KDaddict
I live in Frankfurt. I like Germany aswell:D
Did you already see episode 52 of I need a fairy?
Yeah I know what you mean. I often see spoilers of episodes of Fashion King but the episode even did not air. And these spoilers are even false.
Lee Yoori was indeed really good.
Btw the name of Woori’s character is Lea.
May 10th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
@GHSforever,
I fly in n out of Frankfurt many times. Want to go to Baden Baden one day. Love Japanese onsens. Want to see what baths r like there for comparison. Hee.
I haven’t seen ep 52 yet. Will try to watch it tonight. Been busy watching the newest ep of K2Hs n RTP. How come u r not on the K2Hs thread?
For dramatic shows, I don’t like knowing what will happen b4 the ep is shown. Takes all the fun n surprise out of it. So I hate spoilers of that kind, true or false.
May 10th, 2012 at 6:31 pm
@KDaddict
The K2Hs thread is too ‘busy’ for me haha.
But I watched yesterday’s episode already.
I am still waiting of a new drama of Jung Il woo. I really miss him on screen.
He such an awesome actor. Also I am waiting for the drama’s BIG and I do, I do.
Suzy will be in BIG and Kim Sun ah and Lee Jang Woo in I do, I do. Missed both actresses. And the synopsis of both dramas are interesting. Big is the Hong Sister work and I do, I do will be so much fun. The PTB dad will be also there. He was so funny in PTB.
I am doubtful of Lee Min Ho’s upcoming new drama Faith. Maybe I am wrong and I hope am wrong because I like him as an actor. Also the drama sounds similar as Time slip doctor jin.
May 10th, 2012 at 7:52 pm
@GHSforever,
Agree 100% with you on all the upcoming dramas u mentioned. I’ll miss K2H, but am comforted that it’ll be followed by an interesting drama, I do, I do. Definitely waiting eagerly for BIG. Loved Gong Yoo in Biscuit Teacher, Candy Star; not so much in Coffee prince.
K2H thread may be busy, but a lot of that is re-posting for info purposes. Some ppl were angry abt the racist remarks on the show, but it has died down.
Just watched ep 52. Happy that Cha Se Joo can no longer ignore his feelings for Fairy-ssi. It’ll take a push fr his bro to get things going in the next eps.
May 12th, 2012 at 9:47 am
Ep 53-54:
Mr. Cha doubles back on himself; he now feels guilty that he was out on a date on his wife’s BD, n is actively retreating fr Fairy. While that makes him a nice n sentimental guy, it also makes it more difficult to ship him w Fairy. Unfortunately, Lee Joon is only shown coaching Kim Bo Hwa, n isn’t shown to be pursuing Fairy.
Meanwhile, another couple is forming: seems that Kim Mori n Ms Ma r getting together. N for whatever reason, Cha Na Ra now prefers her classmate to Young Saeng, which doesn’t make sense, bc Yong Saeng is the guy whom she has a crush on ever since they were kids. Honestly, who can resist when a Hallyu star shows his interest in you?
Doesn’t look like things can get wrapped up in another 6 eps. So maybe there’ll be an extension after all?
May 12th, 2012 at 11:49 pm
I loved the Troublemaker scene between Lea and Kook Min. Love them so much.
youngseung and Na Ra better end up together. I want CNU with the girl with glasses so bad. Na Ra don’t get on my nerves and choose Youngseung. I also think that this sit-com will be more than 60 episodes;-)
May 13th, 2012 at 1:32 am
Lea? When is she called Lea? Doesn’t everyone call her Na Ra in the show?
