Im Joo Eun and Lee Mi Sook in anything that will kill the patriarchy

17. Hated Character You Loved

Tae Woong from Reply 1997

18. Loved Character You Hated

Woo Jin from Liar Game. I didn’t hate him but he’s not Akiyama, y’know?

That disaster in the closet from Heirs

29. A Lead You’d Marry

…um… hmm… most leads aren’t my type and seem too unstable for the committed and drama-free relationship I’d require from a spouse, but maybe Tae Bong from Dalja’s Spring. Or Dalja herself. Yeah. I’d marry Dalja.

30. A Well Loved Actor/Actress Who Just Doesn’t Appeal To You

Excuse me while I randomly select a name from my long list: Kim Soo Hyun

8 and 3 (pick one being born in each decade 40s till 90s)

(It took me ages to come with a total of 10 kpop biases — I should’ve just done actors!)

  1. Minhyuk (CNBLUE)
  2. Yubin (Wonder Girls)
  3. Tabi (Big Bang)
  4. Seungho (MBLAQ)
  5. CL (2NE1)
  6. Daesung (Big Bang)
  7. CNU (B1A4)
  8. Amber (f(x))
  9. Hoya (Infinite)
  10. Key (SHINee)

1. Between 3 & 6 whose most recent concept did you like more?

…they’re the same group, so same concept? But Tabi probably bc Daesung’s bangs were ridiculous

2. Between 2 & 10 who would you rather be stranded on an island with?

I feel like Key would have some decent survival skills

3. Between 4 & 8 who would you trust to take care of you when you were drunk?

Pretty sure Amber would have my back

4. Between 1 & 2 who would you go to jail for?

Yubin, but only if we go together for kidnapping some dude and dousing him with silly string

5. Between 5 & 9 who is a better visual to you?

Hoya, although that’s mostly through years of daily exposure

6. Between 7 & 8 who would you rather save from a sinking ship?

CNU, just because I know Amber can swim

7. Between 6 & 10 who would you rather have a movie marathon with?

Key – I bet he’d watch trashy rom-coms or Disney musicals with me

8. Between 1 & 10 who do you think makes a better first impression?

Cutie-patootie Minhyuk

9. Between 3 & 7 who would you rather kiss in the rain?

CNU because I’m pretty sure I’d faint if I got that close to Tabi

10. Between 5 & 6 who would you rather have a summer fling with?

Daesung bc I’d bet he’d be sweet and would only break my heart a lil’ bit

11. Between 5 & 7 who would you rather do drugs with?

CL obvs

12. Between 3 & 8 who would you bring home to your parents?

Amber! They’d love her! And we’d feed her Mexican food!

13. Between 9 & 10 whose wardrobe do you want more?

Key just because I know Hoya’s wardrobe and, ah, no thanks

14. Between 4 & 10 who would you be more surprised to see cry?

Manly-man Seungho

15. Between 1 & 4 who would you rather kiss on the forehead?

Minhyuk bc if I’m getting close enough for a kiss with Seungho it ain’t gonna be on the forehead, just sayin’

16. Between 2 & 3 who would you rather hug you from behind?

Tabi so I can die happy

17. Between 5 & 2 whose group do you stan more?

Ahhhh… I’ll just say WG because they were my first girl group, although if 2NE1 were still going like they used to it’d no doubt be them

18. Between 4 & 9 who Is higher up your bias list?

HOYAAAAAAAAAAA

19. Between 1 & 7 who would you open your door for during the Purge?

*flip a coin* Minhyuk

20. Between 6 & 9 who would you rather go to a haunted house with?

BOTH because they’re such scaredy cats and I would die laughing (and then haunt them)

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.

Rules: Put your playlist on shuffle and answer the questions. No cheating!

Title of first song describes how you die:


Dream – Lee Hi (in my sleep, sounds good to me)

Second song describes your love life:


Promise – CocoRosie (strange yet poetic?)

Third song will be played at your wedding:


Fallin’ (Remix feat. Busta Rhymes and Rampage) – Alicia Keys (this would not exactly inspire confidence, but at least it’d be realistic)

Add “in my pants” to the fourth song title:


New Beautiful (in my pants) – Epik High (at least I’m confident?)

Fifth song will be played at your funeral:


Cult of Personality – Living Colour (idek)

Sixth song is your theme song:


Paris Holds The Key (To Your Heart) – Bernadette Peters (damn straight it does!)

Seventh song played when you think about someone you love:


Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That’s An Irish Lullaby) – Bing Crosby (aw my mum’s not Irish but it’s the thought that counts)

Add “with a shovel and screwdriver” to the 8th song:


Mr. Tambourine Man (with a shovel and a screwdriver) – Bob Dylan (Mr. Tambourine Man is fed up with your requests, buddy – don’t mess with percussionists, they hit things with sticks for a living)

Ninth song describes your week:


Tout Le Monde – The Reindeer Section (yes anywhere but here would be nice)

Tenth song plays when you miss someone:

It Had To Be You – Kay Starr (nobody else!)

Not tagging anyone, but feel free to try it out if you want a little musical fun! ^_^

What are your favorite and least favorite dramas and kpop songs of the year?

  5. Ex-Girlfriend Club

Least favorite dramas:

  1. Masked Prosecutor
  2. Producer
  3. Hyde, Jekyll, Me
  4. D-Day
  5. Let’s Eat 2

As for k-pop songs, I didn’t really pay attention to groups except the ones I already like, so instead I’ll just make a quick list of the 10 songs that were my favorite since I’d have to think really hard about the ones I didn’t like (since I wouldn’t play them and thus, don’t remember them):

  1. miss A – “Love Song”
  2. FTISLAND – “Pray”
  3. MFTBY – “Rebel Music”
  4. Zion.T – “No Make Up”
  5. Wonder Girls – “One Black Night”
  6. Big Bang – “We Like 2 Party” (tbh all of BB’s songs but I’m trying to restrict myself to just one song per group and this was my summer jam)
  7. MBLAQ – “Mirror”
  8. Infinite H – “As Long As You’re Not Crazy”
  9. Jonghyun – “Hallelujah”
  10. Amber – “Beautiful”
