well, i dont really concern about the miracle in this drama or the way they switch their soul again and also some reasons behind that.haha
what i really care is just about Daran and KKj’s relationship,haha

@Caitlin,
The internet doth hath trolls! :S
I saw her comment once a while back, n remember thinking: A beautiful attached to a nasty person! No idea where that attack came from. It’s not like I take up limited space thereby preventing others fr posting.
Thank you for speaking up. Often, the peaceful ones are so quiet; the nasty ones spur their poison.
July 5th, 2012 at 12:48 am
@hny,
I work on the computer, n when I want a break, I flip over here for a min. No kids, no cooking; just a doting husband who lets me watch all the KD I want, except to encourage me to exercise more often.
Besides KD, I love the opera. Just came home from the opera, 3 nights in a roll. If only Penelope knows how far fr sad my life is! TQ for your defense.
July 5th, 2012 at 12:57 am
@kdfan, tc,
Thank you for vouching for my sanity.
I did think abt starting a blog on “KD, opera n travel” years ago. But given that I already do my work on the computer, it’d mean more sitting, typing, n staring at the monitor. Plus I didn’t want to make that kind of commitment. The time might have passed for such a blog, since there are many of them these days. But if it was my blog, no one would tell me I’ve no life n need to seek professional help, just for writing comments. Or would there???
As u say, the purpose of comments is not to always agree w each other, but to talk abt the finer pts of sth we see that touches us, as we are doing on the GD thread abt HB, JDG, etc. Cheers!

im waiting for their truly madly deeply kisses,hahahaha

@may-469,
Hi, thank you v much for that vote of confidence. That lifts my spirit.
Allow me to tell u abt my day:
I went to cry in a corner. Then I dragged my body to a psychologist’s office as Penelope told me to.
Me: Doc, I’m here abt my KD addiction.
D: Does it interfere w work?
Me: I work billable hours, like Yoon on AGD. I choose to work less billable hours, to have time to enjoy life.
D: Who is Yoon? What is AGD?
Me: Never mind.
D: You work less hours so you can watch KD?
Me: Uh….., partly.
D: Does it interfere w sleep.
Me: I always think of my KD n KD chars, n let’s not say K actor hunks, b4 falling asleep w a smile on my face.
D: Does it interfere w life.
Me: I prefer my KDs to going out drinking, or shopping. I try to plan my social appts for when I dont have to watch a KD live on tv.
D: Do u know you r an addict?
Me: I did name myself KDaddict.
D: Is your addiction getting better or worse?
Me: I’ve gone fr watching 7 shows to 3 shows concurrently.
D: Do u want to be cured?
Me: What would happen when I’m cured?
D: You would want to work as many billable hours as possible, 80 hours a week is the norm, n go drinking, shopping n socializing. Oh, and you’d think abt work while lying in bed, n suffer fr insomnia like the rest of the population.
Me: Let me ask Penelope if that’s a good idea. I’ll get back to you on that on our next appt.
Pardon me. I think there is a writer in there trying to get out!

@KDaddict-481
LMAO!
Don’t be bothered. It’s not the first time we see “different” people here and it won’t be the last. Just know we love ya!
July 5th, 2012 at 1:32 am
Typo in #477:
Sorry Caitlin, that should be:
A beautiful “name” attached to a nasty person. And:
Often, the peaceful ones are so quiet; the nasty ones “spill” their poison.

Ep9
I love it. It’s getting serious and DR is finally doing something. I wonder what she will do when KJ is back to his body. H.sisters are spelling their magic again. This innocent child was born to live not to save someone and leave. So a miracle must happen to make them realize, that child is a precious creature.
And now i know why a character like Choong sik is in the drama. He really is a trouble maker silly 19 year-old student but KJ is a mature gentleman comparing to him. He is there to help us know what a gem KJ is. Otherwise he and Mari get on my nerve in every episode.
July 5th, 2012 at 11:29 am
i dunno how this drama will wrapped but i’m seriously want gong yoo to be the male main lead..not sure it’ll be easy for me to see KKJ soul back in his real body bcoz gong yoo really nailed his role as KKJ so i guess it’ll be ackward to see da ran with KKJ with the real body owner..i want da ran with KKJ when gong yoo plays the role..*sigh* this drama is complicated..

(a❤‿❤a) (((KDaddict))) (a❤‿❤a)
Keep Up the Good Work. Just know that there are plenty of us out there who welcome and appreciate your comments, especially moi ◤(¬‿¬)◥
July 5th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
mandak485 i totally agree with you on this yah i really want gong yoo to be the main lead not the little kid cuz that will be weird i dont want da ran to end up wit the little kid if they switch bodies
but im still hoping for seo yon to return atleast we should know he’s story and if he really does love da ran we havnt got to that part yet so it’s kindda confusing for da ran does she really fall for kkj now and no more seo yoon…. they gotta show more love triangle between them i wanna love seo yoon but i dnt even get to see he’s real self present its always the past clips of him and thats just boring… and yah gong yoo acted pretty good as young kkj if no body switch and if he stays in seo yon body maybe i’ll be okay with that hmmm lol.. but this show is not making me happy the way it turns up and wen it comes to love story it doesnt even make me cry 
im so hoping next episode they should show more of seo yoon so i can tell which one she should end up wit… this drama so confusing lol..

@Jennie-486,
What a surprise to see you! LOVE your heartie-smiley faces! Thank you. Hugs.
July 5th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
@KDaddict i noticed u went quiet a while yesterday n must hv felt a little down. don’t be disheartened. ignore those troublemakers. there are too many of us who not just love your comments but eagerly await them. himneseyo! Jennie’s smileys r always so cute huh! yes yes must exercise more. i missed gym today, will hv to go tomorrow. looks like you wasted your time at the psychologist’s. send the bill to Penelope

@kdfan,
The Opera Festival is in town. I’ve been attending the opera every evening since Fri. Quite tired. Couldn’t keep my eyes open yesterday n today in the afternoon. The Fes is over, so I can return to my routine.
It is only recently that I learnt that there are “trolls” on the internet. It’s a mentality that is difficult to grasp. As Caitlin said: they will benefit fr professional help. The lot of you have been gt! And Penelope can kiss my grits!

@KDaddict & kdfan Hi hi, I have been catching up and happy to say that I’m up to date with this drama, GD and Bridal Mask. Still have plenty more episodes to catch up with I Do, though. But I must say, these few dramas are among the best I’ve seen in my many years of watching KDs. I love this drama cos the leads are so lovable and the script so unpredictable! I have no idea how they are going to wrap this up at all! GY is hot, super hot and I love how he looks in a suit and that scene when Gil teacher was admiring him while he was sitting down at the cafe had me fan-girling him
The thing I love about this drama is that the two main leads practically covers all the air time!! They are in every scene! I love GD too. Just love the witty dialogue and great acting from the guys especially. Don’t really like KHN’s acting but watching JDG’s eye blinks more than make up for their lack of chemistry. Don’t know why but each time JDG appears on the screen, I just love watching him blink..he has this funny slow mo when he blinks, but his bathrobe dance didn’t do anything for me – it was funny but yikes, I guess I find him a little too “old” 
As for BM, ahh, who can resist JW’s megawatt smile and he breaks into a song and dance too..so adorable!! 
July 6th, 2012 at 2:48 am
Gong yoo is so hot!!Oh my goodness!! The sexiest actor of Korea. Also have a pair of loveliest eyes. He can suit with any actress. hope to see gong yoo with han hyoo joo in his next project .

Ep10
I love this angst so much. He thinks she thinks he is a burden. She doesn’t want him to think she loves him but she loves him. Even the explanation is like their relationship. I love the sad moments. I love KJ’s innocent eyes. I love how he scarifies himself for his love, even if just by eating beanS which he hates. I love how he cares for DR. He even doesn’t bear to see her unhappy and prefers to disappear. He is a real angel and no wonder DR is in love with him. But it seems YJ ‘s mom is lying or the hair is not her. Who knew GY can play such an adorable and innocent angel. He is great

I can’t believe how much my simple comment upset some people… Kaddict, if u don’t think u have an issue, just ignore my comment. I was just looking for a good drama to watch based on comments on this site n happened to notice your obssessive comments here on almost under every drama. If I think someone drinks too much, i’ll say he/she is an alcoholic. U r not any better by calling me a nasty person just because i pointed out that u may have an addiction problem. If u r not, more power to u. It seems like some people enjoy reading your comments. I personally didn’t care because they r way too detail. I want to watch a good drama, not read about it. So, don’t take things too seriously. I’m sort of flattered that I created such a commotion here. By the way, this drama is silly n boring. Im going to watch the GD. Thanks, ladies for letting me disturbed your kdrama world
July 6th, 2012 at 1:02 pm
@Penelope,
You needed to pt out I’ve an addiction? What did you think “KDaddict” meant?
Your comment obviously aimed to hurt, not help.
If I had been sb with a sad life, as you said, and was emotionally feeble, you could have done some damage. Don’t shoot off your mouth when you don’t know who or what is at the other end. Too bad your parents didn’t teach you that. I’ve seen your comment once b4. Either time, you don’t come across as sb who is Not nasty.
You are mad at me becos my comments r too detailed? That’s the funniest thing. Try going to other KD sites, like Dramabeans, Koalasplayground, Soompi, etc, to tell them that they are addicted n too detailed, n see what treatment you’ll get.
KD websites are meant for ppl to talk abt KDs. They r for ppl who want to watch And talk abt them. If you only want to watch, go watch. DON’T READ.
July 6th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
and U more Boring @Penelope
you have no taste on KD…just take look GD…U will know we there too…
July 6th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Wow, look who is getting mean n nasty now? Keep on getting upset because I’m getting a kick out of how easy it is get an emotion out of u. Btw, this is the first time I’ve commented here so don’t make up stories like your fantasy life. All u got is your kdramas n a few people who r as addicted as u r
seriously, I need to stop coming into this site because I don’t want to become an addict like some of u. I’m sure u will be glad to know that this will be my last posting here. Have a good life addicts!
July 6th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
@Jennie, hi,
Glad you are back after that 3 week break.
The current KDs really are some of the best that we’ve had. I’ve never seen several shows of this quality airing at the same time. They are even spread out over 6 nights for our convenience!
GY has the market cornered on playing sb younger than himself. Every frame n shot in this show brings out his fabulous acting. I know I’ll re-watch this KD many times in future yrs.
I’m w you on KHN in GD. Dare not say it on its thread tho. It’s getting to the pt where if u say sth less than flattering on some actor/ress, sb will act up. Tyranny of the fangirl may drive this site into a Rave Only site.
I do I do just went into its zenith in ep 12 IMO. It is outdoing itself n others in having JA take the hi road. I love it when a heroine puts integrity above all.
I’m not following BM since I vow to watch only 3 KDs. I peeked n it seemed to me JW is all grown up–he has shed his BB fat n BB face?
July 6th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
@sw-465,
Abt your Qn in 465:
YJ wrote that book for youths looking for a direction. At 18, he found out that sb saved his life. In turn, he wanted to save others, n decided to become a doctor. He wants to look back and ask that young person that made that decision (his younger self) if he is going well, if he is extending a warm hand to those who need his help.
We can think of this in 2 ways:
1. It is poetic license: when ppl write for publication, they often come up w ways to say sth that is not entirely logical so that the piece will read more poetically then a collection of plain sentences.
2. KKJ’s 19 year old soul inside YJ’s body IS indeed his younger self, n is THE one person YJ needs to put that Qn to more than anyone else, becos it was KKJ who saved his life.
July 6th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
We all want a happy ending. Given the way things are going between KKJ n DR, a happy ending would mean KKJ continuing on in YJ’s body! Becos I don’t think we r ready to see KKJ in his own (Shin’s) body making out w DR!
What will happen to YJ’s soul and KKJ’s body? Maybe YJ can live on in KKJ’s body. That wouldn’t be a tragedy, would it? And if YJ’s soul has to die in KKJ’s body for World’s cruelest mom to learn her lesson, then I believe the writers may not shy fr it.
