56 & 59!

56: Recommend 1 mini-drama (any # of episodes, each last <30 minutes)

I Order You. Yunho is actually pretty good in it.

59: Tell a random story involving K-Dramas

I still can’t believe the hill I died on with DF’s questionable subbing team was about a condom.That’s a fun and awkward (yet hilarious) tale to regale people with at dinner parties.

Asian drama asks ~ 6, 8, 28, 40, and 59? (:

6: K-Drama NOTP(s)?

I already answered this but I’m sure I can come up with another one. Ummm… Soo Young and Min Suk from High School King of Savvy.

8: First drama you considered your favorite?

Coffee Prince, probably

28: Favorite K-Drama friendship?

Only one? Hmmm, lately my definition of friendship would be the trio of amazing women from Fantastic.

40: Kim Seul Gi or Kim Go Eun?

Uhhhh, do you see my user icon?

59: Tell a random story involving K-Dramas

LollyPip (aka LP as I refer to her here) and I met when she emailed me her phone number before we started working on Witch’s Romance, and I was like, “hey, that area code is awfully familiar…” (Not that you can put much faith in area codes since people move so much.) It turned out, however, she only lived about a half-hour from me at the time. What are the odds of that? LP’s since moved further away but it’s kind of neat that dramas helped me make an IRL friend.

my fave color is purple and I shrieked happily seeing Joonyoung’s legs in next 1n2d episode preview. besides dramas, what are your hobbies? fav color? do you have any allergies? fav food? known languages? happy lotto num… OVERSHARE a random fact

what are your hobbies?

Hmmm, I don’t really have a lot of hobbies right now. I’ve been so busy. Does traveling count? I don’t have the monies to do it as often as I’d like but I love to research and plan itineraries.

fav color?

I seem to be partial to the green family.

do you have any allergies?

I’m mildly allergic to kitties – not to the point that I have to avoid them completely, but bad enough that I have to be aware of how I’m handling them (no face rubs!) and make sure I wash my hands afterwards.

known languages?

I was pretty fluent in French while I was in college but I haven’t used it much since then so I’ve probably forgotten everything. I’m working on my Korean fluency. I tend to pick up languages fairly easily whenever I travel, and while I wouldn’t say I’m fluent, I can get by pretty well.

happy lotto num… 

I’m not sure what this means, but it does remind me that our manager gave everyone a scratch-off lotto card in their Christmas cards and I had to have someone literally show me how to use it. I didn’t win.

OVERSHARE a random fact

Hmmm, a random fact…

Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to Congress (elected – there were women who essentially inherited the position when their husbands died during their terms) and she was also a die-hard pacifist. She was the only person to vote against the US going to both the First World War and the Second World War – while there were others who voted against joining WWI, she was literally the only one who voted against the US joining WWII. It was quite a shocking move on her part and lost her the respect of her constituents, and it was her last term in Congress. (Note: these terms were not concurrent, just coincidentally at the same time as the wars.) She was instrumental in the women’s suffrage movement, helping to convince her state to give the women the right to vote and then fighting for women’s right to vote once she was in Congress. However the 19th Amendment wouldn’t be ratified until after she was out of office.

Unpopular Drama Opinions

Got tagged by @soymilkmocha

tbh I’m pretty sure most of my opinions on dramas are unpopular but here goes nuthin’

A popular drama that you didn’t like.
The low-hanging fruit that is Heirs

A popular drama that every one else seems to hate but you love.
Mmmm… I generally like what I like and ignore the haters which means I don’t typically keep a bead on the popular reaction to the show, but I remember feeling fighty in the Valid Love tag

A love triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with (spoiler alert) or a couple that you don’t like.
Ahhhh, I don’t watch dramas for the main love story and generally am not that emotionally invested in the main character romance even though I’m allllllll about the second characters (because I want the second lead to date me). I dunno. I’ll default to the easy answer: Heirs, because Eun Sang should’ve ended up with Bona.

A popular drama genre that you hardly reach for.
Heart-tugging tear-fest old-school melos

A popular or beloved character that you do not like.
Quick someone name me a popular character and I’ll figure out if I like them or not

A popular actor that you can’t seem to get into.
I feel like I always answer Kim Soo Hyun so just to change things up… Lee Jong Suk

A popular actress that you can’t seem to get into.
Moon Chae Won – I want to like her, but it just doesn’t seem to click

A popular drama trope that you’re tired of seeing. (examples: love triangles, evil mom, rich guy, etc.)
Is “wrist grab” a trope? Because it can die in a fire

A popular drama that you have no interest in watching.
DotS

A popular drama adaptation that you prefer more than the original version.
The Good Wife just because [SPOILER REDACTED]
