so i’ve only been following you for about a month, so i don’t have all your nuances/faves/history down yet, so: question time! (for things not covered in the faq) favorite actress? fave kpop groups/artists? when/how/why did you get into dramas? Favorite pieces of media outside of dramaland? how quickly can you do the Vessel With the Pestle bit?

Hi! And welcome! Tbh I’m not sure I even have all my nuances and faves down myself, so I’d be impressed if you figured that all out in a month.

On to the questions:

  • favorite actress?

I’ve been on an Im Joo Eun kick for Woozily reasons, but she’s definitely a long-term fave and I’m hoping she finds a break-through eventually. (Fun fact: my twitter/DB avatar is Dong Ah from Wild Romance)

  • fave kpop groups/artists? 

Big Bang; Brown Eyed Girls; Wonder Girls; MBLAQ; CNBLUE; FTIsland; Infinite; 2NE1; miss A; f(x); B1A4 (basically anything pre-2012 bc I’m so out of touch)

  • when/how/why did you get into dramas?

I’ll watch just about anything tbh and a friend introduced me to jdramas, where I promptly fell in love with the high-school manga adaptations (HANA KIMI 4LYFE). Then there was this Hana Yori Dango remake that I kept hearing about, and the rest is BoF gateway drug history (no I don’t know why I latched onto kdramas instead of jdramas when normally I seem to prefer the jdrama versions but life is a mystery, y’know?)

  • Favorite pieces of media outside of dramaland?

Like, other tv shows that aren’t dramas?

Veronica Mars; Parks & Rec; Gilmore Girls; Arrested Development; Pushing Daisies; RTD-era Doctor Who; Slings & Arrows; Psych; The OC; Lois & Clark; anything that remotely resembles a cooking competition

  • how quickly can you do the Vessel With the Pestle bit?

Depends on whether or not it’s before or after they broke the chalice from the palace.

What are your favorite dramas involving magic, mystical beings and the like? ^_^

Apparently I don’t watch a lot of dramas that fit this genre because I was all gung-ho to answer, but could only come up with Arang and the Magistrate.

Wait, there’s also Surplus Princess (mermaids!).

I don’t know that I would list Padam, Padam as a favorite drama, but I adored Gooksoo.

Lim Ju Hwan at the Uncontrollably Fond table reading 2016 (x) for @obsessivedilettante

#i am not above begging #please juhwan fans join me in this little corner of the internet so we can cry about this tol man #i will make you gifs #i will make you cookies #please let this bring move fans in for ju hwan #he is literally the best actor there is and he deserves so much more recognition #i stg i will single handedly carry this asshole into tumblr #join meeeeeeeeeeeee

I will join you in agreeing that he deserves more love and attention than he gets and will happily share that love with the world, but I don’t know if I will be dragged into the Wooziness because each teaser makes it pretty clear that this is probably not the drama for me.

(I do like cookies, though.)

Also my phone is much more sensitive now that it’s no longer in its protective case (note: Lifeproof cases are overrated and I’m glad I didn’t pay for mine because it literally fell apart after one year). I sorry for any random pocket blogging and I’m glad *#04 is not a real phone number even if my pocket wants to call it.
