IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Please read THIS THREAD about a rebrand for SF.
Yeah, I plan to look through a lot of these! I'm watching Vagabond at the moment (I love those cheesy and awkward rom coms but my husband needs a break from them!! 
). Vagabond is really good though - really strong story and filmed in different places so must have a big budget. I'm usually clenched at the edge of my seat though, it's relentless.

I think I saw that last year / fall - when they were releasing espisodes, like only once weekly (on Netflix); & I agree with every thing you say. . . I believe I watched up to the last episode of so - not only because I’d heard that perhaps some fans were upset with the finale or ending; but also because I don’t always watch for plot first & foremost, and I’d planned to watch it at some point—(though I apparently never did!) 
plus I think NFL was getting under way, again...
They both look good, thanks MrBG! I can't remember stuff from last week, never mind last year!
& there are some very good movies, Korean & otherwise as well, though as of the last couple of years or so - I’d say for me anyway - the selection had dwindled incredibly, at least for me & my tastes! 
off-hand, I remember really liking one called “burning,” it had the guy from I think the show was called ‘Walking Dead,’ but I don’t know for sure, as I’d never watched it!!! ;D
I don’t know what the controversy was with her, but from an American’s point of view, Koreans have a much different way of looking at things, at least in term s of women, & their place or role in society. But hopefully that is changing, and will one day be much better...
I think I first saw Youna on Hyori’s Bed & Breakfast shoe on HeJu Island — with her & her rock star husband and his big 80’s shaggy hair!! ...but st the time-I believe that that was the first time I’d ever heard her sing - & I think she mentioned something about not being used to singing in that style, or method... or how she wasn’t used to having to write her own lyrics (or that that was not the norm, or normally something that they did—as hyori had asked her to maybe come up with a verse for a song that she & her husband were working on!) ... I laughed at how she’d always eat cereal 🥣 before bed - that reminded me of me (& was likely the only thing we shared in common...) & on the previous years season it had ‘IU,’ who what I got a real kick out of — was when she’d try to sneak sweets in & they’d intercept them (& maybe like restrict the number of chocolates 🍫 or whatever they were?) . . . Was also really funny when she was poking fun at how she eats at the dinner table—hyori is not overly shy, I’ve noticed, in especial even afterward, like now how she’s popping up on all kinds of variety of panel & game shows. But what’s so funny to me - is how I’m not used to seeing her with her hair and make up all done ✅ if you’d seen the show, you’d know what I mean.. And I didn’t even know who ‘IU,’ was or how popular / famous until she went to go play a show/concert back in Seoul or wherever; & the camera panned to the size of the audience! ;^) also loved how an American visited deep into Youna’s season & had no idea who she was. When trying to guess her age, I think he goes “21,” when she was more lke, “29!” ;D

I believe there was this one show where it’s like 2NE1tv but for lee hyori - at the time she was still single and it centered around her moving to a new place and then she showed her pet cats - and as a cat person i started liking her even more.
I remember i on Family Outing she was tasked along with another member with cooking meals and she’s terrible at it, she couldn’t cut the fish head with a knife, she was scared, so she started slapping the fish with side of the knife lmao
A lot of 2nd-4th generation kpop stars look up to her.
IU is insanely popular which is rare for solo artists to have from the start (even though
her beginnings as a star were difficult).
If you like Suzy and IU check out Dream High they are both lead stars there. You’d be surprised how young looking S.K stars look compared to their age, idk if it’s genetics, the skin care, the diet, or science lol but i think it’s common to “some” asians to look way younger than their actual age.
In family outing i remember since everyone’s close like family there — they pick on her complex which is having a longer torso compared to the length of her legs (i didnt even noticed that tbh until they started teasing her)
Lee hyori is so confident that she can admit that her complex are her short legs and despite that she overcome that, and i admired that a lot from her. Despite the negativity she chooses to be happy.

and of course i danced along lmao.
I remember being such a Kweeb but never to the delusional/cringe degree that i would claim to be korean (oh hell no, i know my limits haha)
i still feel a degree of embarrassment for copying suzy’s hairstyle and haircolor while this drama was at it’s peak of fame and I couldn’t fathom what my foreign classmates were thinking specially the s.koreans although i did became close to them and understood their POV about kpop and kwave and their opinions on kweebs.
I’ve never even heard of a KWEEB before!
If you’re going to copy — steal from the best is what they say.. I believe it was the distinguished poet (amongst other things) Eliot, T. S. that once said, “immature poets imitate; mature poets, steal!!” I like his style & thought process, for it is one I have adored inherently over the years..;D oh, & yeah... to your average Americans eyes, especially if they don’t have very much exposure to - Asians can look like babies (by comparison to them!)!

Ha! Don’t know who they are? Unless it’s an agency or something similar (that the initials stand for!) - kind of like JYP. I was thinking that that’s what that was too, for the longest time - until I saw a clip of Miss Tiffany in his studio singing a song solo (or laying down the vocals/tracks), and it was apparent that she had not been there in a little bit... anyway, he was giving her very precise, dialed in suggestions, or directions, on what he’d wanted! ;D if that’s who that is. A dude!
