Where's a link to the awards? Or maybe just for his award speech? (I'm trying to catch up on my long list on drama episodes I haven't watched yet!)

Hahaha of course he is still Taiwanese Oppa No #1! Don't even joke about that But I have to prepare myself I'm not a fan of the Chinese drama structure...It's the opposite of everything I like about my dramas - I like episodes to be spread out over a time period (ie. an episode or 2 per week), currently being filmed while airing/only just finished filming, no dubbing. Chinese dramas to my knowledge so far like to drop batches of episodes which is overwhelming to watch, the series was filmed like 1-2 years ago and there is dubbing Also been busy trying to balance my dramas...so far I'm only up to date on Taxi Driver (But haven't written my thoughts on last few episodes) Still have: -1 more Episode of Doom At your Service to catch up on -Newest Episode of Sell Your Haunted House -All of Use for Your Talent - And Move to Heaven comes out tomorrow It's so nice to have so many dramas...but I'm so tired!

I'm finally doing this quiz!!! And no I did not get LJW in first shot Actually I got the same first oppa as you @mademoiselle - Kang Ha Neul After that I've got: Seo In Guk Kim Soo Hyun Park Bo Gum Jo Jung Suk Jung Ga Ram (Some of these were lazy answers because I just went back and changed one answer to see what it would give me ) But where is LJW??? Ah, just when I thought I would give up. 7th try is the charm This was hard though because LJW has so many shows on Netflix and I thought they'd do his DDSSLLS or Extraordinary you character...I have no idea what Seol Ji Hwan is like since I haven't seen Search WWW LJW, I would divorce the 6 other oppas, for you

Hahaha, yes, JYH was my main Oppa pre-Jasper years...I flew interstate to see him perform with CNBlue If it involves some form of travel to see them live, they were definitely on main Oppa status, haha! He sort of fell off my Oppa list after I found Jasper, but I do always fall back into his charms when I watch him in one of his dramas again I'm liking him a lot with JNR in this drama! They bounce really well off each other.

It's so cute that they update at similar times. I mean probably a coincidence, but I hope it just means that they just think similarly...so similarly that one day they'll coincidentally sign on for the same project again or run into each other at an Awards show Doesn't that picture of LJW look so good?? I can't wait to see his pretty face in Move to Heaven Haven't heard his agency confirm his new project yet...I think there's a big chance of him accepting it, but definitely still not confirmed. I hoped his new agency would update more about him, but I think big agencies do honestly update less because they have more actors to focus on? I feel like VAST actually did post a lot of content about him for fans, though a lot of fans got really angry at the end of that working relationship because they deleted everything without warning and handled it poorly. C-Jes will probably just have more basic posts...but we'll see when they promote his first major project Oh Yeah! They did post at similar times recently again too! :) Talking about Instagram, Netflix Philippines posted a filming location that I didn't know about for DDSSLLS...apparently the high school for DDSSLLS was the same high school for Love Alarm (It is a high school they use in many other dramas though) Awww, Thanks for this pretty edit wish @eNDe! So pretty and so true for DDSSLLS! Hahaha this is cute too! Yes, I could only do cake for myself...Lala and Jaemin shall bake cookies for Jun and then say cheesy lines about how he burns in their hearts I thought of you @eNDe yesterday because I met someone with only nice things to say about DDSSLLS and she didn't mention even a note of dissatisfaction with the drama. It all started when she was looking at the keyring on my bag (the one Lala buys for Jun) and she said it was cute and it looked really familiar. And then I said it was a keyring from a drama...and she was like..."Oh Do do sol sol la la sol! I loved that drama!" She had been fairly disappointed with Record of youth but she said her and her partner loved DDSSLLS because it had been so sweet. And she didn't even mention anything about the ending! It made me happy. I really like this DDSSLLS edit. The song is sad but kind of matches DDSSLLS - it's "Astronomy" by Conan Gray: https://www.instagram.com/p/COvuRn4AamP/ I also like this picture of Mimi that a Japanese fan drew

Hahaha, but remember he is a special psychic...he's the only one who could get up the stairs. Maybe he's the only one who can still work even after he loses his virginity? It's weird, but I kind of like these type of teaser romances...where the chemistry is clearly there, but they don't serve it to you straight...at least not right away. It's a massive tease if they never shift it into a clear romance and leave it implied (which has happened in the past with other dramas before!) ...But I feel like this one seems to show that OIB and HJA are already changing each other for the better, so like @40somethingahjumma says it seems like they're setting it up for a romance which might be slow and then escalate really suddenly...But we'll wait and see Wow can't believe it's your first time watching JYH! I think he's always been a fairly natural actor. I've never seen him play a villain or anything different from a romantic lead/second lead, but in terms of different romantic leads, he's always given a believable and charismatic portrayal of his characters But then again my opinion might be biased because he used to be my main Oppa

Hahaha, I would, mainly because I spent a lot of my life trying to protect art so it's tied to my sense of responsibility.... But art is interesting. Sometimes I don't necessarily like something at first but the more I see it, the more I learn to like it too....but it is true that there are some art pieces that are really not my taste...I recently discovered an artist who makes animal human hybrid sculptures and it is really grotesque. But if someone was trying to destroy them, I would still get super anxious Yes Amen to this! @Jane knows her stuff! This is a more accurate description of that episode for sure, haha! I might have also confused you when I said 'his own portrait' - I meant 'a portrait painted of him (the fake artist)' as opposed to a painting he did since it was implied in the episode that he had no painting talent whatsoever which is why he panicked and killed the poor ghost painter. My bad, couldn't think of how to phrase it when typing!

Has anyone started for this one yet?! Please tell me if you're coping with the dubbing! I'm going to try to start tomorrow...but also trying to prepare myself for dubbing Still trying to catch up with Doom at Your Service too...

Hahaha I thought you would feel the same!! Basically there's a pretentious painter who takes credit for some poor artists' works and steals all his paintings (including a self portrait which he covers with his own portrait) after he murders the poor artist. The ghost of the poor artist haunts the painting and the main character (who is an exorcist) cuts off the fake artist's painting to real the true artists' self portrait hidden below.... So destroying art all for a good cause, but....my art-appreciating self nearly died when that happened!!! The anxiety was so deep!

Happy Birthday Lee Jae Wook!!! It's so sweet that he went to visit the birthday posters that his fans made for him and his caption was pretty much 'I love you guys so much' to all his fans : https://www.instagram.com/p/COsEea_nrRk/ Didn't get the chance to sub anything new, but I ate cake on behalf of LJW's birthday Hope all your Twinkles are going well! Will let you know when I sub things for final 6 moth anniversary!

Oh so relatable, this episode I never answer numbers I don't know unless there's a reason (ie. went for a job interview or something) Hahaha...I knew something was different about her but I couldn't figure it out! Thanks for actually pointing it out. This is a very wise insight and I totally agree. The show offers a sense of comfort and courage for people who have been seriously bullied, harassed or victimised in any way. The justice system is not perfect, but you have to be strong and reach out for help and someone will hopefully find you. And for those who haven't been victimised, it shows that people often have backstories we can't see, so be kind to everyone you meet.

No offence, but it's not so simple, though I do agree with that it's never worth taking your life over it. The internet is a pretty creepy place. If you have a video like that online, it's not just about shame. Most people get bullied in the extreme - ie. creepy incel guys/ hackers stalking girls in these videos and constantly harassing them with dirty messages, rape threats, people exposing identity and things like addresses so that girls are in danger - doxxing. It's a matter of personal safety - you would not feel safe again. To be fair, they didn't really do a super good job of showing the consequences of having an online sex tape, so it probably looked like it wasn't a big deal in GE's sister's storyline...but I feel like if you're savvy with internet culture, you can see what horrors were implied in her life after the video came out. I think the other thing is Korean society is probably much harsher Like if you're from a Western country, even a South Eastern country, people would probably be understanding. But there's still some pretty weird gender discriminations that happen in SK. When you pair that with a tendency to judge people on surface factors alone and a pressure to maintain strong image/face/reputation, I think it would make life terrible after that. I'm always surprised by some stories of things I wouldn't think were a big deal where I am, which is seen as a big deal by Korean friends. That's why depression is so high there. While suicide is never the answer, I get why it affected GE's sister to the point of death

Hahaha I just caught up on Taxi driver episode 10 and I have to say....Why is LJH so damn hot especially when he is a smooth-talking trashy bad boy gangster?! Oh right, because that is my drama oppa type I've been finding this confusing too? It's like they imply they are locked up, but we don't tend to see it happen all that often...makes you wonder where they all are? I mean, they can't let them go into hiding and roaming free plotting their own revenges or getting back into crime again...so either they killed them or locked them up outside the normal legal systems. Hahaha, I feel like he was especially mean to chickens because he totally was one. Ah the irony! I think she's starting to be more on the ball, but I'm not sure I like her type of character - which is that she is the annoying cat in the cat and mouse chase of the Law/ police/ prosecution trying to catch the Vigilante crew . Like you, I would have preferred if she joined the crew as well Hahaha me too...but I can''t blame @dream at all....LJH is just so damn charming it's hard not to be swept away completely

Episodes 7-8 -Interesting how OIB's uncle possessed him! It was lucky he was a good fighter...but then again, I suppose he's vengeful and the person who captured them was the person he wanted to get revenge against. -Do you all think the cop and Secretary Joo have some deeper background together? It's funny how he thinks all of them have teamed up as scammers...I guess it would look like that if there was a haunted real estate agency. -I wonder what the first responder to HJA's mother's death scene saw - he looked shocked or horrified in the death scene so his words are obviously lies And in terms of OIB's uncle, it's really sad that he was used to sign off responsibility for the arson and then it sounds like he never got the apartment. -The ghost story with the old father who killed himself as he didn't want to be a burden to his children was so sad. I mean I felt really annoyed by the brother who messed up everyone's life Sure he felt sorry for his sister, but he actually caused her great stress from being irresponsible and then almost killing his father and then actually (indirectly) being the one who causes the father to disappear, hence breaking his sister's heart. I mean it makes sense in the story for them to forgive each other and have each other, but he was a pretty shitty person when he was young -Still it was fun to watch HJA sass OIB about how ghost possess him because he never had a girlfriend...haha she's almost challenging him to take her on The romance to this hasn't really taken off so much yet...I think they both subconsciously interested in each other and they have the physical body chemistry, but they haven't really thought about how much they really like each other,,, -The egg ghosts scared me so so much But on the other hand, I thought a child ghost story would be really freaky and it wasn't...in fact, she was rather sweet and just wanted to apologise to her mother for not listening to her - The cop seems to have worked out that the construction company is evil and that they probably killed the OIB's uncle using HJA's mum...but they don't know how. And Secretary Joo (although she looks suspicious) is friends with the first responder and they seem to know what happened, so it looks like they are maybe keeping the truth from HJA and OIB so they don't hurt themselves and each other? But does she have some deal with the construction people too? As for the huge confrontation at the end of the episode, it seems like HJA is just lashing out from shock and because the coincidence is too much for her. But I hope they make up soon because they were getting closer and closer...and now they're fighting But I guess at least the secret is out in the open and they can now work together instead of accidentally working against each other.

Episode 6 -I'm keeping up to date on watching but so busy lately that summaries are hard! - I love that OIB rescued HJA from the clutches of angry spa ghost and HJA couldn't help but clutch hug onto him She never really shows her vulnerabilities but she does around him. -I was suss about Secretary Joo already when her face subtly changed when HJA told her about remembering there was another child when her mum died...But another interesting thing is HJA questioning why she didn't remember that for 20 years and finally thinking about how there are many weird bits of memory to do with her mum's death...I wonder if Secretary Joo somehow tampered with her memories? Also if the death of her own children have something to do with what happened when HJA's mum died. - I totally get the vengeful ghost in Episode 6 because she tried so hard to make the neighbourhood good not only for her bakery but for everyone else...but all the neighbours were so nasty and the landlord stealing her bakery was so uncalled for....And then his wife kills her?! Damn, this neighbourhood is just evil af -Their banter was so cute when OIB pretended not to hear her and she thanked him...ehhh, their expressions and the things they say are so funnn -I like how OIB started as a fraud, but really he's so soft every time he sees injustice and just has to fix it. Also I like that HJA is actually soft but has been jaded after years of bad experiences with people - Also I like that past HJA was actually the opposite of her now...in all that pink she looks like Reese Witherspoon in legally blonde! -I liked how badass HJA was for breaking down the wall and staging the ghost to get the murderer to confess and to find the body...although they didn't really explain how she staged the ghost

Hahaha I totally agree with you and @Chocolate - a lot of handholding is happening and I for one welcome it allll The ghost stories are so sad and often times it looks at evil human emotions like greed, jealous, hate...but it also shows the side of human nature that are pure, good, full of redemption and sorrow as well. I have to say these ghost stories are pretty well written - I find them oddly more 'realistic' (or maybe a better study of human nature) than Hotel Del Luna which I also liked, but just in a different way Hahaha This is so true...she always drops it right after the big declaration of love so I'm wary Yeah I can't tell if she's suss - I mean she looks like she's hiding something with not telling about OIB being the kid she saw in her visit. But HJA and the cop know that she "killed" her kids....Hmm, if it was abortion, why was she in a police station? Was abortion illegal in Korea at the time? So really don't know what to think about her I didn't know they did a KBS radio interview for this show Are there subs?? Hahaha that's coz she wants him to make her his girlfriend Smoooothhhh Smart guy...he knows the way to a girl's heart is through her stomach Especially HJA! I was scared by the damn Egg Ghosts!!!! I don't like it when things that are meant to have faces do not have faces!!!! Also totally agree...They are hot together. LOL

Amen to this

While hunting for pictures, found this old article: https://www.kstarlive.com/news/2020/04/09/actor-lee-jaewook-revealed-to-be-a-star-student-in-his-school-popular-among-female-students-343242 Popular with the ladies from a young age, eh? Not surprised...but found it funny that he always had fan girls writing comments about him anonymously.

Ooooh Thanks for this! I wonder how it works with Netflix I guess we get some version of this non-sub timeline? Ehh, I'm in no rush to be honest given all the things coming out at once when I'm honestly a one episode a week gal Loving all this promo content and they look cute doing their little cleaning dance

Yay! Glad you guys all liked the goodies! It made me happy to find someone willing to translate that content and I thought it was worth the share especially since we've love this series even 5 months after it ended and despite it's ending Can't believe Move to Heaven will come out next week and LJW looks so good in the teaser pic. I also loooove Lee Je Hoon at the moment and the story sounds so touching and unique! If you guys are interested in a chat, we have a thread for Move to Heaven here: I totally agree about Hong Sister's projects being a hit or miss as well, though I did enjoy Hotel Del Luna and thought the story telling was good. They are apparently good with more fantasy stories so hopefully this one will be good. But DDSSLLS will always be the most special of LJW's romance stories As for GAR, she's been pretty quiet, but she posted a few Instagram stories for children's day and some trip she took Her baby photos are so cute: https://www.instagram.com/p/COfnoTilY9Q/ Hahaha they owe us a whole reboot of the ending with all the things you mentioned above after the pointlessness of the twists and turns in the final 3 episodes...something with only these moments! Yes! I totally hope he'll update for his birthday And it would be nice if GAR would message him though maybe that'll be a PM I've been pretty busy lately, but would love to post something for LJW's birthday in celebration...I'll let you guys know if I do. Haha, I still secretly hope that the crew for this drama miss it and release some never before seen BTS content sometime now or in the future... come on LJW staffers! I hope they both enjoyed filming this project...it looks like they had a good time in Mokpo hanging out Thank you for your lovely commentary @eNDe! I always enjoy reading your thoughts and observations. Hehe and knowing more about these behind the scenes now makes me so happy...you're right...it's cute to see the interaction between them: LJW encouraging SMJ to ask GAR what her name is...it's just so adorable...as was his grin when the kid actually did it and GAR teases him

I'm not sure what works in the tiny square format, but here are some nice pictures that I like of him - any of these are fine unless someone has better pictures of him Sorry for the LJW spam...hard to find just one good picture you know... Hahaha, I suppose that's why he goes topless every second drama He is also very tall and handsome in real life. You know how some people look good in pictures but then look less flattering in real life? That's not him - he is super pretty And onto my third Oppa, Lee Je Hoon...I love his interview responses soo much...his response to why he has no scandals..."My agency helps me to block it well" Long subbed version here: https://www.instagram.com/p/COk9UnwFaxA/ Thanks to Je.llyhoon Instagrammer!

I know right?! I was like, who is this random guy talking.....Ooooh...it's meant to be "Jasper" Hahaha it's ok we have @SilverMoonTea to fangirl on our behalf Yeah, I'm not sure how Chinese dramas work...I'll need your guidance @Tofu . How many episodes is this drama? I'm excited for all my favourites appearing again too...even if it will kill me in the one week!

I've been busy this week for late replies! Yes was definitely thinking it would have been nice if LJW joined Artist Agency or Salt...but I think it's nice to see he's been confirmed with a new agency. For awhile it felt a bit up in the air and during a time when lots of young artists were being suspected of things....him joining a new agency feels comforting, especially because I think agencies must be pretty careful with picking new artists these days...so it feels reassuring? I hope they will look after him well and give him lots of opportunities and us fans lots of picture/ photo goodies! Not long till Move to Heaven now! I'm really looking forward to it too especially since LJW's teaser pic came out today and it's been reposted 100 times across all my socials LJH is so going to be so fineeee...And the story just sounds so touching and different to other story concepts Yeah I didn't Kpop idols were part of this agency either @purplefin....I've just noticed a lot of veteran actors like the ones @eNDe mentioned and side actors. LJW looks to be in a good spot since he's probably one of the more recognisable actors in that age group in this new agency. I'm glad you're watching this one! I really like it for it's humour, chemistry and sad ghost stories! Although nothing beats DDSSLLS, this is the first romance I've watched that I've felt more invested in since DDSSLLS ended (I've watched a few, but haven't been into them for the romance or I cared more for second lead than main pairing). Missing our dear Jun and Lala, but glad to know LJW has many projects and news on the horizon...hoping GAR does too!

A Rich and Handsome Mr Jasper Gu Not restricted in Australia either... ...but suddenly I have too many dramas to watch. Still watching Sell Your Haunted House and Taxi Driver...But also suddenly getting Use for Your Talent, Doom at your Service and Move to Heaven dropped on me all at once...Not sure whether to be happy or stressed His voice is so beautiful and soothing. It makes me sad that it'll be some random voice actor's voice Hahaha I've turned from best Japer fan to most lazy Jasper fan...I was pretty meh at first because of the dubbing, but everyone's posts are making me excited so I'm looking forward to watching especially as it'll be out via netflix. Jasper is Netflix's TW poster boy

He looks so gooooood...can't wait for this one to come out! Not just for LJW, but because the story looks quite interesting and touching too Your post on Twitter made me super happy too Hahaha well I guess they couldn't make them all look trash...if they must give LJH a mullet, better give LJW the clean cut looks
