Haha, I think my usual criteria for adoption is (in no particular order): 1. Charisma - I'm really charmed by extra charismatic guys. Honestly, I think it's more important than looks. Actors that are funny, very good at fun trash talking in interviews, build really good rapport with co-stars and fans and are fun off-screen as well as in character really get to me...haha and that is why my favourite Oppas are my favourite Oppas in case you were wondering what Jasper Liu, Lee Jae Wook and Lee Je Hoon have in common 2. Acting/ Project selection - I prefer if they've done a range of projects, but it helps if they've done a good job in a romance before I'm a sucker for talent, but also for actors who pick the types of projects I like (ie. Jasper isn't necessarily the strongest actor, but he does generally pick projects I will watch...whereas someone like Song Kang at the moment I have not adopted - despite hearing he is a good actor I haven't been interested in any project he's picked so far Lee Je Hoon and Lee Jae wook both have talent and pick projects I've liked so far.) 3. Looks - Like everyone here, I have a weakness for good looking men 4. Scandal free - No one is perfect, and I don't care about who they date or if they smoke, but it can't be anything unforgivable - violence, abuse, sex rings etc. Hahahaha...they're like crazy young to be put against your criteria!!! Hahaha looks like you are also into the Bad Boys also I think that explains a lot when I compare your adoptions to everyone else Is that really CEW's phone case? A bear? It's so cute Have you adopted CEW @SilverMoonTea? I liked him back in My ID is Gangnam Beauty. But as an idol he feels more elusive than other celebrities...like he has a polite and detached niceness about him more so than other celebrities since he's so famous and idol scandals could break him My feelings for my Oppas are very organised...there's a hierarchy of tiers they can move up or down on

Thanks @bluepebbles for this thread. I have a weakness for zombie films and I loooooved season 1 and 2 of Kingdom ...I'm a little confused at this one though. Is this just a single episode/ film? Will there a longer season 3

Haha I've glad I'm not the only one who got Snape vibes And totally agree with you - I think she got the same sort of emptiness that people get when they've been ghosted by someone who they were dating somewhat seriously. It seems like she was just hanging onto a love she had when she was younger, but actually she's matured and needs different things which Mr Cha can provide to her. Yes, this is what I was confused about - This is exactly how I interpreted their deal as well. As in, Doom might die, but she would also have to die? I was mighty confused when he told her humans can love again, but not him if he was to live on. But is she to live on? Yep, same understandings and confusions...I mean, if humans are still alive, then doesn't he essentially have to be alive? I mean natural disasters and death and accidents are still going to happen otherwise the world would be a utopia? Or is he just doom to some people including her? Hahaha that is true. He does have a dark elf look to him because his features are so pointed! Ahhh, this is an interesting theory since I do think MM will turn into a human since this doesn't strike me as a story that will have a totally sad ending - TDK's life was already so sad at the beginning. I also think that you're right in that a lot of shows with prophecies and interpretive fantasy often likes to play these tricks on audiences and it gets down to the literal meaning of the words to bring out all the possible outcomes Your theory makes sense to me. Hahaha, yeah I remember this...such a weird thing to try to 'will yourself' into being in love with someone else! I also laughed at the running away from all your loved ones. I mean, I don't think feelings change just because you're not seeing them everyday...her ideas are so weird sometimes Thanks for the clear explanation @mademoiselle! That makes sense to me. Though I thought her wish was going to the world of doom...though I suppose MM didn't really take her so it didn't really count? But I thought she said it was fine if it was a fake world? Or maybe it needed to be a more serious wish? I am overthinking this weird script a little too much Also thanks for posting all the cute behind the scenes. They made me smile whenever I had time to watch them! Haha catch up in time for the finale!

Hahaha he's Chae Jong Hyeop! I've thought he was cute ever since Hot Stove League! Will you both be watching this little 8 episode series? Can't believe it's only 8 episodes?! What kind of a drama is this? But sometimes the short ones are the best ones. Some of my favourite dramas are only 10-13 episodes. The story-telling is more concise and there's no filler episodes.

Episode 19-20 - Ah ha, of course GRQ's grandpa is the one who killed SSJ's mum as the hit and run driver - Hahaha, the start of this episode is so funny - SSJ answering from the toilet and then that badly photoshopped picture of Jasper, his grandpa and the driver that took the fall for the grandpa's accident. - The fact that the second lead LX literally saw all of the answers in the first photo he looked at...honestly a little poor in the storytelling department - The necklace that the store lady recommends SSJ's little brother to get for his girlfriend is so ugly: A diamante smiley face -That coffee machine is cool and LX was such a sweetheart to buy it off SSJ's little brother - I totally understand why SSJ's friend would get mad at her boyfriend, SSJ's little brother. He was totally annoying her while she was trying to get work done - GRQ and LDX watching dramas to try to understand girls...and LDX calls GRQ "Gu Baby" - LOL GRQ selecting wedding gowns via paper cut out?! What is this?! Also shouldn't you let the bride pick their own dress?? That desperate to get married -Ugh so cheesy with the "Wang Baby scenes" - Except for Jasper popping out in a white suit, I have to say this wedding proposal made me feel a little sick...it was all too much - Wow, that escalated quickly....the evil rival guy just came and blurted out the truth in the middle o the proposal that GRQ's grandfather killed SSJ's mum...But I can't believe SSJ just believed the words of strangers without evidence - There's something nice but also a bit heartbreaking that the second lead is her cool guy who helps with the get-away motorcycle ride from her wedding proposal, even though you know she's going to still pick the first guy eventually - I feel like SSJ taking it out on GRQ is unfair since he is not his grandfather...but maybe it's coz I don't like seeing her make Jasper cry! - But there's a scene of Jasper crying naked in the shower and his abs look so good. Sure you don't want to pick this up again @SilverMoonTea @Tofu? - LOL ok, I'm liking the second lead LX again. He seems to have a good bromance with the SSJ's little brother, always getting him out of trouble etc - Aw now the second lead LX is saving everyone even the bodyguard, LDX -Haha...I have to say Jasper's role looks fun when he's traumatised...all he does is spray everything...kind of fun to act out LOL I see LDX and WQQ are meant to be the "Sexy" couple...always er getting close to each other when sweaty in the gym or injured and topless Hahaha you're not wrong...no one to oppose my opinions! And all the Jasper appreciation

Episode 17-18 - I don't get why the dad doesn't just mention that GRQ's evil grandpa swung by and was mean to SSJ. She does have a right to know - Not a fan of the brother suddenly turning into some amazing ballad singer - LDX doing noble idiocy for WQQ sucks when she made an effort to look after his grandma! Him cutting her off when she doesn't want him to is not going to make a difference to her reputation if she turns up drunk in the gutters calling out his name. Ugh noble idiocy! -Well I guess second lead is ok. At least he stuck up for GRQ in front of SSJ's dad. - Oh no...the hit and hit driver that killed SSJ is hopefully not in GRQ's family right?! -LOL Unifon got like 10 mins of product placement here -I do think SSJ's dad is being unfair but typical Asian parent-ish by not letting her date GRQ - LOL GRQ sends SSJ a copy of Jasper's U single. Jasper's self promoting through his character is so funny - Wow GRQ gets to eat a whole cake by himself -Haha WQQ is getting her revenge by sleeping with LDX and then ignoring him..gotta be mean to keep them keen I guess -Aw poor second lead helping SSJ to see GRQ but also dying on the inside. -I'm not a fan of the sound track for this drama unfortunately - LOL the scene where GRQ records wake up alarms for SSJ was wasted on me since it's not Jasper's real voice. - LOL GRQ stole his worker's paper star gift for her boyfriend to make them and steal the wishes for SSJ....no compassion for his workers whatsoever - Haha that falling paper stars scene was cute. I use to make those paper stars a lot when I as a kid! - Aw GRQ's mum is so friendly to SSJ...and I love the cafe they met in for their chat -Haha, GRQ has a sneaky way of finding out SSJ ring size!

Episodes 13-14 - So I'm going to start at the end of episode 14 since I'm confused again...please explain if anyone knows (looking again at you @Mouse)...but did their contract specify that Doom could die to save her if she loved him?! I am so confused when things suddenly switched from her seemingly being the one sure to pass away...and then Doom leaving before her and making it sound like she would live on and love someone else?! (But she still sent those good bye gifts to her family)? I'm so confused as to whether she's dying or not now. I thought they were planning on a Romeo and Juliet style exit where they would both leave the world Other things: - I though Mr Cha was such a boss when he opened up to his friend LHK and it's true - liking someone means being honest and not running away - Haha, MM tells TDK it's safe to get into his car...when Doom says it's safe to be a passenger in his car, I'm not sure if that's trustworthy - I really liked the dialogue for episode 13 and I think, on the whole, for most of the series. Aside from PBY and SIG's chemistry, I think the characters are fairly likeable and the way they talk to each other is cute and playful. MM and TDK definitely have some great lines to each other...but even things like Mr Cha's conversation with his dad where the father understands LHK and his sons' personality with winning...or when the workmates go and visit TDK and Mr Cha has nothing to say but "How are you?" and then TDK makes him say something else and he says "Tell me if you need cash" These lines are just so fun. - When TDK fainted at the hairdressers and looked up into MM's face before she passed out, I thought, "I wish the last thing I saw before passing out was SIG's face" - @mademoiselle yeah, I think SIG is getting upgraded to significant Oppa status...he's pretty even when he cries and he's perfect hugging height for PBY - This series toes the too-romantic-for-me line...but SIG and PBY somehow make that romance beautiful and watchable. I like their wholesome sleeping with hands held, grocery shopping, back hugging scenes rather than wedding proposals (but luckily this drama mixes up both) I also think both SIG and PBY are just both good actors and don't over do it on their delivery, so it's fine even though the events are really dramatic? - I'm loving all the snippets from dramas TDK watches - Hotel Del Luna and Start up (I see you Nam Do San ) - The world of Doom was an interesting place? Not what I was thinking... it seems more like Doom's idea of Doom to be honest...but hey, they shared one of those nice kisses there, so I don't mind - For Kang Tae Oh, this seems like a weird role to take - I mean he's the second lead in a secondary romance, making him a third lead? I feel like he almost gets less air time than TDK's little brother. But it is an interesting role in that he's the second (or second-second) lead who doesn't give you second lead syndrome since he sounded like a terrible boyfriend due his habit of running away from JN! Still he was really cute when he talked to her at that sports field...something about those pretty sad half smiles he gives breaks your heart!

Episodes 11-12 -I have to say Mr Cha reminds me of...Professor Snape from Harry Potter...Please don't ask me why. It's like the sarcasm and deep voice and brooding gaze, and longing for his love JN. - Mr Cha sure took down the boss and threw it at his face that he was the building owner's son. - TDK and MM's dates are so cute. I think the storyline for this drama doesn't actually make too much sense logically...but I'm definitely watching to see SIG and PBY go on cute dates - Mr Cha has strong game in this series though as second lead especially when he pops out with an umbrella for JN. I'm not actually having very strong feelings for him, not sure why, but I recognise a good second lead (or is it second first-lead? ) when I see one - LOL Uncle Kevin got his own scene in Episode 11 with TDK. I laughed so much at how little communication happened between TDK and her "Uncle"...which makes me wonder how the aunt communicates with him - You know what else was cute? That scene where TDK is laying on MM's lap on the couch and she tries to feed him a snack and he says he doesn't eat, but then she says, but you can pretend...and he asks her if she wants him to play along, so he does. Their cuteness is just too much - Is it weird @Mouse and @mademoiselle and @Warm Paws if I say that I actually liked the reset scenario better? I like that MM and TDK were fated to meet, but what's more, I think the reset version of events makes more sense. The dialogue when MM and TDK meet on the rooftop is much more quick-paced-deal-with-the-devil type banter, making it a fun meeting. Also TDK's choices make more sense. I kind of get why she doesn't want to risk dying and spending money on an operation, but I never understood the whole avoiding doctors and hospitals altoghter? The choices she makes in the reset version of events are more relatable to the average person, but I agree with what you guys said above in that you can see TDK's quirkiness even more when she meets MM. She was so angsty in the first episodes that I wasn't sure if I liked her...whereas in the reset, things are grim, but I think at least she made choices that made her own life easier? - I laughed really hard at the old ladies in the hospital saying that they had never seen many good looking men, so a good looking doctor must be a ghost -Is it terrible if I say I was feeling the savage happiness I felt from Taxi Driver when I watched MM destroy that child abusing father? -NDR made another appearance @mademoiselle...I think he's just adorable as this bratty writer and idol. Honestly, his role is more a minor role than a cameo, huh? I like that he obviously cares about TDK though he pretends not to. And his story predictions help viewers to understand what's happening. Haha, I also love his rivalry with MM even though they don't know each other in the rest version of events..."Do you want my autograph?" - I love TDK and MM's chemistry at the beach/lift even when they didn't recognise each other

This is looking good!

Deep secrets uncovered from LJW's first V-Live stream... (V-Live added English subs btw, but the timing is out of sync, so I'm fixing this when I have the time. The timings are correct from 44:26 onwards on this video)

I haven't caught up yet, but just thought I'd leave this pretty gif here... I think I have to upgrade SIG oppa status...I keep stalking his instagram lately...

Thanks @abs-oluteM Even though I'm not here as often at the moment, it means a lot to have lovely friends here and to see that there's always fun stuff going on in every thread. It has really helped to have JH, going through this life-throwing-lemons time

@abs-oluteM In my drifty state of affairs lately, I haven't seen this thread before!! I've only been speaking to myself and @Tofu in the Use for my Talent thread because Jasper has been my comfort blanket these past weeks and I haven't had to energy to catch up on everything except the quiet threads But I will definitely make an effort for Lee Je Hoon! Thanks so much @Unnie0110 for starting this thread!!! Hehe, I know a lot of us were fans of LJH over in the DDSSLLS threads, so I feel like we should also call @eNDe and @purplefin here for when they have time to check this out. You know what I've been dying over today? This picture. Damn this man is everything

@twinkler0415 You can view the Vlive video afterwards if you have an account. I believe they save the videos on his channel afterwards :) https://www.vlive.tv/post/1-23522069 * I also downloaded and uploaded LJW's Live video here. Haha things I've learnt: LJW prefers Soju to beer, likes mint choco ice cream, prefers Cola, doesn't mind pineapples on pizza (?), He mentioned Mokpo and DDSSLLS - once to answer a question...and I think someone said they liked DDSSLLS and he thanked them (around 3:51-3:52 in the video)? I did see a few Korean fans mention Go Ara in their comments (her name is 고아라), but don't think he talked about his co-stars. My Korean is super limited as a beginner...But people are starting to translate: If anyone here is from the Philippines, this fan got him to say Hi to you guys :D

A few translations of LJW's Marie Claire x Lancome Live:

Has this one been reported yet? For @abs-oluteM and @Jane

Haha I can certainly try! If @twinkler0415 @multiloverss @eNDe @CINNABOM @Unnie0110 tune into LJW's livestreams and someone gets to ask a question, please ask this one! I think questions were meant to be submitted earlier and I asked who was his favourite person to work with...if he does answer my question, I bet he'll say a male actor though Anyway, I'll try to record the streams if I can, though I'm sure other fans will definitely do it :)

Episodes 13-16 -The toothbrushing scene where GRQ was teaching SSJ how to brush was a bit weird rather than romantic to me. Like why do you not know how to brush your teeth? - But it does amuse me the GRQ has a diary of things he wants to do with his girl - Haha when SSJ picks the music in the care she picks Jasper's song, U - Hahaha, I like how GRQ makes fun of Jasper's song and says it's a silly song since he keeps repeating You, you, you...how did Jasper do this with a straight face - Wow they only just confirmed their love and now SSJ and GRQ want to spend the night? Waaaahhh, Jasper's look when he says "Don't go"...would have been better in Jasper's real voice - Haha Jasper always seems to go on aquarium dates - he's definitely gone on one with Puff in Pleasantly Surprised and maybe with Mandy in When I See You Again? - Haha, the chill mother in law is very refreshing in this series - but as she said, she was sick of her son being so scared of germs! I love how she tries to stick up for him to her father, bossy old grandpa - I think I like the side female characters - as GRX says - the so called mean girl at the start actually isn't mean...and oddly enough isn't judgemental of LDX's background. But I guess she likes bad boys - It was so easy for GRQ to start another manual cleaning department again...wouldn't he need board approval since it was disbanded due to the board? - Finally the bodyguard LDX and hostess WQQ get together!...And so do the littler brother and the friend ...So wait...what are the other 10 episodes for?? -Hmmm, this is weird, but due to how much kissing and mushiness there is, I don't know if I feel invested in the main pair?...It's like too much - LDX's idea of a first date to the gym is no fun But I really liked SSJ and GRQ's date to the amusement park. All those ice-creams, merry go rounds and soft toy claw machines! - WQQ's boss threatening to cancel her shows because her romance got out must be what idols experience when they date what the public considers the wrong person - I really dislike kids' voices in Chinese dramas. Why do they always sound so annoying?? - Haha, I liked the friend's solution to SSJ and SSJ's brother both wanting to meet her - bring one to the meeting with the other!

Episodes 11-12 -Being GRQ's housekeeper would be the most ridiculous thing...I could never do it because being that clean would be crazy! Toilet needs to be cleaned every few hours! -Weird plot hole: Why was GRQ not surprised when SSJ showed up at his door as his housekeeper? Surely his mum didn't tell him she was hiring his crush as his housekeeper?! Or at least there was no scene like that? -LOL at GRQ doing a love quiz like a teenage girl in love -oh dear the onion peel scene is soooooo cheesy -Poor LDX thinks that SSJ is earning her monies in other ways than cleaning with GRQ -The Jasper in the dream that pinned SSJ against the wall was pretty hot -Second lead actually annoys me in this one since he acts like he owns her -Second lead is also the most unprofessional therapist! - Finally a nice kiss between SSJ and GRQ Although the chemistry is no where near as good as Puff and Jasper's is, I guess I don't mind this pairing @SilverMoonTea ....but I also think it's partly because I'm going through a rough time and I think this drama is pleasant / easy to digest and it's always comforting to see Jasper...he's like my comfort blanket I've finally reached Episode 12 and I'm sure I'll continue watching!

Episode 9 -10 -I like that the WQQ isn't really that sort of evil second lead girl who would go after GRQ/ Mr Gu even though it's clear he doesn't like her. It's nice that she has her own crush too...but everyone is er, very perfectly paired up in this drama except the second lead guy - Ugh, the misunderstanding of SSJ thinking GRQ liking WQQ and GRQ thinking SSJ liking the second lead, her neighbour! Drama logic always leads to this -I cringed at SSJ's younger brother when he's fixing SSJ's friends phone he says phones are like humans and can hit puberty?! What?! See, this is just too weird for me and moments like this ruin what could have been a cute romance. -I laugh at all these unnatural romantic positions the characters get into WQQ trips and ends up in LDX's lap...and the cup of water doesn't even spill Still it was nice that he saved her from the annoying guy who was trying to spike her drink and put a tomato smiley face on her eggs when he made her breakfast - I can't believe they let that mole continue working at the company?! - Haha, I like that GRQ's mum wants to hire SSJ as a housekeeper for him and says that even she can't stand her own son sometimes. It's cool to have a cool mother in law - LOL I find the fact that the males in the drama keep giving her face masks (the big product placement) quite unbelivable...do guys even know what face masks are? - JASPER LOOKS SO GOOD IN THAT WHITE ADIDAS TRACKSUIT

By the way it turns out that LJW has 2 live streams on Monday! He's doing a Marie Claire Live stream with his agency actors at 7:30 and then an individual one at 9:30 KST Hahaha I love that you have a timeline for these events And you tried to screencap but it didn't happen :( Oh how sad! Hahaha true, I think this might be his thinking. But come on, it's more suspicious unliking someone's photo Haha, you can leave a question for his live stream on Monday on the fan boards on V-Live and I think we all feel like asking "Why did you unlike GAR's photo?" Hahaha, I also hope we get to witness these types of "mistakes" often too I feel like I need an alert for when either of them post. Is that a bit stalkery? You have a point! Such precise timings... Haha, did you think about these timings specifically GAR Haha yeah I noticed! She really doesn't seem to interact/ respond to comments. Whereas LJW will respond to any friend who comments on his photos...he always has when an actor writes in his comments - LSA sometimes comments on his pics and he has always responded in the past Hahaha...you're not wrong...what if she went to visit Move to Heaven set because of both LJW and LJH?! LOL that would be such a dream Thank you so much @eNDe for these lovely words. I thought they were beautiful - these tough times are still long and drawn out for me, but nice to think that people are cheering me on from somewhere else. I've come back on in little intervals, but may disappear again as well. But I will be around for LJW's double live stream on Monday Hope you all are too!

What a weird idea! But I'm happy that Someday or One Day is still so popular that people are wanting to adapt the story over and over again. It's still one of the best things I've seen

Episode 8 - Haha what an awkward first kiss for Mr Gu and SSJ. It's a good thing she wasn't live streaming it or it would have got them both into more trouble But on the other hand since she was recording a video, she literally caught her first kiss on camera - SSJ's friend wears such weird clothes and really short shorts/ skirts...haha no wonder she caught the attentions of SSJ's little bro I kind of like this idea for a romance, but I just think the actors are weirdly awkward. Haha...I finally got to Episode 8! It's a light watch. I think it's fun. I'm not super addicted to this drama, since the storyline is fairly predictable, but it's nice to see Jasper looking so dapper. Come watch again and give me your opinions if you do...hehe, I feel like I'm chatting to myself as a late watcher

Episodes 6-7 - The friend and the brother could have a cute romance, but their flirting scene was less playful than it was awkward? I wish they could just look a little more natural! - Haha, I thought it was cute that Mr Gu and SSJ gave each other milk and then thought that the other one returned it. And then they were having a private dinner where they were feeding each other dumplings...but it did make me laugh thinking about an employee returning to the office to feed her boss dumplings - Haha, I was right about SSJ being condescending by what she had said to the disabled athlete...but glad she fixed it up. - At first I was wondering why they wouldn't let the guy buy the strawberry milk but then let SSJ have all the strawberry milks she wanted for free...and then I was like, ohhh Mr Gu bought them all for her -LOL Shen Yue giving Jasper a bike lift was pretty funny given their heights -If my boss was Jasper, I would also bring him home for dinner

Have you seen this @abs-oluteM?
