Over-thinker. Easily distracted by shiny things. Oooh. Shiny.

Kim Bohyung (SPICA) – “Our Story” Korean Version (Pied Piper OST)
(English version here)
Current stress: retraining my brain and fingers to type “ajusshi” instead of “ahjussi”
I often have an English language show playing around bedtime to help my brain sort of quiet itself down and not get distracted with trying to translate – often a cooking competition show (’cause y’all know how much I love those).
But this time I’ve made the utter mistake of landing on Travel Man with Richard Ayoade and it’s the funniest, most delightful thing I’ve seen in ages. I can’t stop laughing and I fear that I’m going to be up much later than I imagined because I need to watch them alllllllllllllll.
Vampire Detective “Sherlock” teaser BTS.
They’re so cuuuuuuuuuuute with their giggles!
Ahhhh, perfect timing, Anon, because I’m impatiently waiting for ep 3 to download and literally about five minutes ago did a thorough search and…
…nada.
There’s still hope, again, that Darksmurfsubs will pick it up because the Chinese subs are very prompt. Buuuut it could still take awhile if they do pick it up. There’s still no page on Dramafever (although there is a page for Memory, so for those of you bummed that Memory might not be picked up, have hope!). Nothing new on Viki (not that I was expecting). There are these, but I’m not sure how good they are as I haven’t bothered to test them yet.
So in DSS we shall pin our hope and trust. If anyone is interested in helping sub, even if it’s just to edit the English when *fingers crossed* the Chinese subs are translated, go there and check it out!
Ooooh, and in the time I was typing this up, the ep finished downloading, so I’ll see if the show is as good as the first two eps (the drastic dip in viewer ratings has me mildly concerned, but… Shin Ha Kyun!).

top 10 dramas i watched in 2015 | 4. valid love (tvN)
Um… is 11 an option? Because yeah.
I was trying to gush on and on about it, but my paragraphs of meagre words just didn’t seem to do this show justice. I’m fiercely protective of this show, though, because so many people dismissed it on the basic premise of a woman cheating on her husband, but that’s not the whole story, or the important story, or really the one you care about.
To quote myself:
While a one-line summation of the plot could be “a married woman has an affair with a carpenter,” the reality is there was so much more to it than that. In fact, the so-called “affair” was really not the main theme of the drama. This was not about a love triangle: This was about a woman (as portrayed by Lee Shi-young), who was the primary person keeping her family together — a family that didn’t even want her around, but also didn’t know how to survive without her. She humbly accepted all the tasks given her: caretaker of her paralyzed sister-in-law, primary bread-winner, maid, cook, chauffeur, and the general force of good-will and peace throughout her in-laws’ home. Even if it was difficult, she maintained a positive attitude — this was the life she had decided she wanted since she was young, and while it might not be as joy-filled and easy as she thought, it was still her choice and her life. Why be bitter about it?
[…]
In the end, this drama wasn’t about a woman considering having an affair. It was about family — the good, the bad, and the ugly. It was about the toils and tribulations we go through to keep family intact despite disasters and heartache. It was about how no one is perfect and everyone is just trying to get through each day as best they can. Relationships are hard — they’re weird and messy and often there’s no right or wrong answer, just the best answer for that person at that point in time.
I don’t want to spoil you on anything, but I had a lot to say about this show when it was airing, if you care to take a gander at the “Valid Love” tag.
Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany and Rapper Jessi Among Lineup for New KBS Variety Show
KBS has revealed their lineup for a brand-new, all-female variety show!
On March 14, a KBS variety department representative announced that the show “Unni’s Slam Dunk – Future Dreams” (working title) is scheduled to start broadcasting in April. Rather than the usual practice of testing out a pilot before moving ahead with the full show, the program has been approved to go ahead with a full season…
This article is leading with the wrong names.
It has my attention now because one of the cast members is the glorious Ra Mi Ran (who we’re all adoring as the afterlife assistant lady in Come Back Ahjussi) and it’s produced by none other than Park In Seok, aka Cute PD.
Heck yeah I’m gonna watch a new variety show that has Ra Mi Ran and promises the potential for a few glimpses of Cute PD.
