Hahaha...oh well there's always too many dramas to watch and I sometimes let some series drift too! I've actually caught up now and I enjoy this drama...not the best thing I've seen, but I have a real soft spot for Ivy and Mike being paired together because they're just so pretty Also the chemistry is good, and the ideas...I just feel like they've been too ambitious sometimes and imagined some good ideas but couldn't quite pull it off scriptwriting or SFX wise. But it's been a fun light watch anyway. Oooh Thanks for the update! I'm like 1 or 2 episodes behind so don't know what character he'll play This series has had some major cameos. They also had Ivelyn Lee from Murphy's Law of Love as a cameo earlier too.

Haha, the Kdrama world does need more of their chemistry @eNDe so Thanks again for all your lovely edits! Haha I can't tell if I'm moving on or not Can definitely watch other dramas, but don't have a pairing I like half as much...Realistically, although it sounds sad, there might be not so much to talk about eventually and we might drift away, but I feel like I'll still come here and post the occasional gif or edit from time to time when I see someone make a nice one...or if I hear news of GAR or LJW. I hope you'll might too :) Awww Thanks for your lovely words too! The locations posts are just going through finishing touches...DDSSLLS ended on the 26th Nov...so I think I'll release these location posts and hopefully some translations on the 26th to celebrate 3 months of fanning even after the show has finished Thanks for all the screenshots of both these scenes! I loved the other car ride of them with Lala's hair blowing and her and Jun looking at each other and laughing. It would have been lovely to see them go for their night drive. Haha, being the audience that got left out of these scenes was no fun! I totally agree with you and the Lala, Mimi and Jun scene at the end...it would have been so lovely. And I had forgotten how much I laughed when GAR asked Mimi who she liked better. It was hilarious how seriously she treated Mimi's opinion, but also cheated with how to show her opinion I feel like being in SM only works if you're an idol. Being if you're an idol, they've invested in you, you have the backing of all those idol stans and so you will be popular in a role even if you're not a good actor. But for GAR, who was not an idol, I feel like SM would not have put as much focus on her, she would not have had the fans that idols do and then those who support actors rather than idols would also feel like she was not a serious actor because she was in an agency for idols...so sidelined by both parties. It's good that she did change agencies. Haha, I'm the opposite...I had no idea of anyone linked to the project...but I feel like I should go back and check out Signal since everyone has something wonderful to say about. Oohh a past GAR co-star and she had to carry him on her back Haha if LJW and GAR could do such fun activities that would be the dream! I might check out the clips when I'm done with Miss Hammurabi...I'm on episode 14 now! And it looks pretty tense but exciting in the trailers! I got distracted yesterday because I decided to start Beyond Evil ...nothing like gritty crime to get you when there's no rom-coms you're interested in I agree for sure! I feel like people should be less critical about less important things and not hurt people unintentionally! I say be supportive or just don't bother wasting your time as a fan! Thanks for find that hospital BTS by the way! and putting up those screenshots and reminding us how much LJW loved filming them and mentioned so at the first fan meet I tried to upload that hospital BTS again on Youtube but it's definitely still blocked! The reason they give is that it is copyrighted content to KBS (it also says that for the laundry BTS videos,but every other video is fine? ) . Weirdly enough it seems they never uploaded it on the DDSSLLS website, but let Monster Union upload it....And as mentioned yesterday Monster Union has now made all their DDSSLS videos private...so I'm going to upload everything to my Youtube or Instagram for safe-keeping and so you guys can find it when you want I watch scenes from this drama a lot too! It's super feel good and the chemistry is so strong (though maybe it's because they were really dating at the time ). Also NJH was really good in this character! I never understood why this drama didn't do so well in Korea, but it did crazily good overseas. Yep, sigh, I always think of all the BTS content with KBS/Monster Union. I wish we had a hacker here who could retrieve the unreleased footage As for the hidden footage that use to be available...it makes me sad that they hid it, but at least a lot of fans have saved the footage and it still fairly easy to find if you visit GAR/LJW's fan pages. I'm also going to put them up on my accounts. Yep it always makes me happy to see her happy and getting lots of gifts. At least she has good fans and is happy about receiving their love and care

Have you seen this @SilverMoonTea? It's Puff and Jasper sharing the same 2 min noodles between filming...I think it wasn't part of the aquarium scenes, so it's BTS content. I remember fan girling about this video when Pleasantly Surprised was first out: Also I need to cut this video so it's just Jasper and Puff...They were so beautiful at these Awards...I remember being soooo happy they were there and looking really cute. Jasper was so awkward at that photoshoot, but they finally got some hot photos .Your other oppa Aaron is also here: Hahaha not sure...last I heard they broke up. Although everything has been a rumour since they never confirmed dating in the first place ...but those Mirror media tabloid shots do look like her and Steven had something going on. Oh well, as long as Jasper and Puff are besties, I will continue being a fan He's soooooo beautiful here Have you chucked these photos on the Jasper thread for safe-keeping?? Yeah, it came up on my twitter recently. I'm not sure what to believe. On the one hand it could be people being jealous and doing copycat behaviours. But then again, sometimes people are good at acting nice on screen? I think he's a fun trash talker and a good actor, but wonder if he's ever offended anyone by being too over the top? He just looks so friendly though! Haha...I was actually going to post about JBG because he did a photoshoot where he was full on smoking, and I thought back to our conversation about smoking oppas (Sorry to hurt you again @mademoiselle) Also he did a topless shoot too which looked very mature? Though I can't tell if this is real or fan photoshopped?! https://www.instagram.com/p/CKwhaAlpPUo/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzd7jIJ3AP/ ...Maybe he is more a bad boy than we thought? I hope he's really not a bully though. Bullying is not on.

That photo will always be the best first meeting dinner reminder. I can't believe they would release that photo but not give them best couple award Haha, I feel like DDSSLLS really have the strongest hearts otherwise we would have died from heartbreak already from all that we were put through But at least they kept the sets. I'm so determined that when covid is fixed, it'll be one of my first holiday destinations! Hahaha, oh I don't know about that. He likes to put his cool photos first and goofy photos second, but he does have some goofy photos...so in a way I can see him being like GAR But I think GAR's goofy photos are super candid, while LJW's are more curated. Some examples: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIAvSMmnUR4/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eOCBAnsfi/ Yeah, it's weird, I thought I had downloaded that hospital video from the official website but can't seem to find it there anymore. I'm not sure if they took anything down from instagram though, since it's pretty noticeable and time consuming to do that. Whaaaat!! I just went to look up this link for you at Monsterunion - the BTS editing company who did DDSSLLS video and they've put them all on private?? You can see below here: https://www.youtube.com/c/MonsterunionStudio/featured It's ok though, since I think I have a copy of all their videos and put them up youtube...I hope I do Damn, why is there so little love for this series! Not sure when Move to Heaven will air. It's a confirmed project but no confirmed air date yet. Hahaha, this is a good point. It's like 5 years looked like 5 minutes later... it was such a silly time frame to pick I also find it more believable that the baby would be Lala's than HY and SG's since they barely hold the baby compared to Lala Also a good point. Probably temporary hair dye to match her dress. Doubt it was filters since they were media photos? Thanks for sharing this! It was good to find out what happened! Hahaha sorry for not letting you move on...it's because I can't move on... I don't think it's an action story...it sounds more thoughtful like drama with touching stories...it also sounds episodic...like Miss Hammurabi - they focus on a case with traumas and sadness each episode. I'm guessing LJW will be in one episode. Here's the wiki plot if I haven't shared it already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Move_to_Heaven Haha sounds like we have similar tases @CINNABOM! Yes, nothing can replace amazing chemistry sometimes Even though I'm sad those dramas end, I'm always glad the actors said yes to those projects and it warms my heart when they still interact with each other. I wish I could do full re-watches, but I do watch clips of the pairings I love. I wouldn't mind a GAR and PHS match...never watched Hwarang, but I did hear there was bad SLS for him there. I personally don't like PSJ very much, so would prefer PHS as lead

Oooh, I forgot it was starting so soon! Where is everyone watching it? I can't seem to find episodes on any of my sites so far! Haha 4-5 live watch dramas is quite a lot! You are a gun! I could only do it last year due to quarantine. Now that normal life is catching up, that is intense! Yeah, I guess KMS/ L is my Feb Oppa. He just has a very cute smile And I'm starting to get up to the more intense episodes towards the end of Miss Hammurabi and he's definitely hitting all the right notes with his character and chemistry with GAR. The dimples give me the same sort of Jasper vibes I guess. He just looks friendly and cute Never heard of The Emperor: Owner of the Mask....was it good? Another period drama? Hahaha, I think I'm just disturbed by drama names to be honest. Those are the worse drama titles I've ever heard for all the projects of one actor. But I keep seeing clips of the angel one since both him and SHS have both had recent projects, both period dramas, that did really well. I'm surprised you haven't started a shipper thread yet! Suggests the person who claims she does not ship (But I truly appreciate their real life friendship and chemistry!)

It's like The swoon heard me talking about the Lee Jae Wook owning that KITH jacket and GAR wearing it in the drama this morning because they posted the video clip of Jun driving Lala around on his bike while she wears that jacket on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLd8YMNplLW/ Thank you, swoon. Also LJW wore that jacket in a few of the behind the scenes DDSSLLS videos, even though he was filming different scenes on the day...even mimi can confirm it's his jacket Hmmm I'm glad @eNDe found the hospital behind the scenes video...because I just had a look at KBS DDSSLLS website and it's not there. I swear I downloaded mine from there. But maybe not. Maybe I got it off Instagram as well? I'll try and see if I can upload it again. But I think there'll still be a block on it. If I do get it subbed, I'll probably have to put it on Instagram then. Speaking of behind the scenes, I always like the ones on the beach. Hehe, this practice run of GAR bumping into LJW's back is too cute... Haha episode 14 is like the one episode that I don't know I could watch again. Ugh, it was such a waste of a whole episode's time. But some people have made pretty fan art even out of the sad scenes...This is melody's blog where I get those pretty gifs from...she even made nice gifs from that episode: https://melody-starb.tistory.com/502?category=934217 Speaking of which, I cant believe the girl who played his childhood friend/ fake girlfriend has already gotten a lead/second lead role in a drama....she's only been in two cameo roles for KBS including DDSSLLS and suddenly a lead role. Someone said KBS likes her, which kind of annoys me if they had anything to do with adding her character in DDSSLLS (though probably it was still the writers if anything). I'll probably never pick up her projects because it'll remind me of that episode! Hahaha are you thinking of secret meanings hidden in the flowers? Yeah she has picked up some of LJW's street fashion sense huh? I wouldn't have picked her for a cap and bomber jacket type girl, but she can pull of that look too and still make it super cute. I hope they wear more matching things in future...still praying that they end up in some photoshoot together one day too Haha, the mystery of the black jacket...in our hearts, we all know who we'd like it to belong to

Hahaha I do like the doraemon mask! Though the focus should always be on our boy Jasper Yep, Victim's Game does had a mystery/crime to solve, so you can't slack off while watching Yeah, it's almost the end of Feb and @SilverMoonTea is impressing me with her loyalty so far. The power of my oppa is strong Hmmm, maybe I will watch She would Never Know as a late watch. I don't seem to have the motivation at the moment though it does look decent. It just looks strongly romantic. I'm pretty sure I'll watch Beyond Evil. It looks exciting and interesting for a thriller...so I think I'll come out of live-watch break to live watch it Ahhh, I miss all these Puff and Jasper interactions...they just look so so comfortable together ...I feel like I should have saved the original videos, but I'm sure there's still a copy somewhere out there on the internet. I'm gonna go save them all soon I think mine is Kim Myung Soo / L ... he's so cute and he has such lovely dimples And I find his character relatable in Miss Hammurabi. I've never watched any dramas with him in it so new oppa for me! But I'm not keen to watch his past projects. Angel's last mission: Love? Meow: The secret boy? Why did he pick these projects? Not into historical dramas either, so not keen on Royal Secret Inspector though I know it had good ratings in Korea.

@eNDe I hope I thanked you before for these matching Instagram photos! I love that your curated matching pics from both their Instagrams! It's so lovely to see that they are similar in a lot of ways even though they're also quite different too. My favourites of the matchy matchy pics you curated include the one with both of them in brown jackets looking down, the one of them both in paisley print puffer jackets (even the colours are inverted with their black and white prints!) and the ones they took in their beds Haha and I love your observations about their hairstyles. Hahaha I feel like the fandom were happily daydreaming about that... Well, GAR actually has worn an item of clothing that belongs to LJW (and not just Jun)...There's this jacket that Jun wears in DDSSLLS in some of my favourites scenes: where he explains to Lala 5 years is not a huge difference and he winks at her and where he tells Lala that he can't stop thinking about her...and he tries to kiss her but she tells him he'll need to grow...I always thought that jacket belonged to LJW since I saw a video of him wearing it once before he was shooting for DDSSLLS. Recently, one of the LJW insta accounts helped to link me to it...it's just a tiktok video it's from when LJW was shooting for Extraordinary You, but he's wearing the exact same jacket! I chucked it on Youtube: You can see him wear it in DDSSLLS below...so I'm pretty sure it is his own jacket rather than just a costume pick for his character. It's kind of sweet that something of LJW is shared with Jun... Anyway, the scene before they have that cute conversation, Jun takes Lala on a bike ride to the rock where they normally look at all of Eunpo and Lala is wearing that jacket as Jun rides her around and she blows her nose on SG's hoodie LOL. You can see it in this bottom picture here: Hahaha thank you! It's my dream to see them interact with each other again one day and hopefully take another selfie. Hopefully all dressed up at an Award show. Well as Lala once said "Dreams don't have to be grand..." ....They can just be photoshopped Hahaha, Maybe she was inspired by wearing Lee Jae Wook's clothes for a change He is always in Black...actually the clothes he wore at the end of DDSSLLS when he returns looks once again like his own clothes rather than Jun's clothes...I do sometimes joke that maybe if Jun didn't make it, he came back in the form of his twin, LJW, who I feel dresses and acts more like with his own brand of teasiing (minus the rubbish 5 year thing) I see that you managed to find the hospital post! I think it's viewable for me (and I downloaded it from) the original DDSSLLS KBS page. I did have the video and wanted to put it up on Youtube, but the last time I tried to do it, it was blocked from the uploading stage (which is rare!) I haven't seen any subs for that video, but that was on my list of BTS to have translated. The problem I'm finding is that a lot of people say that it's hard to translate when they're speaking so quietly? I'm still asking around. I didn't get to deliver a 2 month anniversary translation...but it's rolling around to 3 months! Time flies, huh? Maybe what I'll do is combine the parts of untranslated BTS videos with clearly audible parts and see if anyone can translate what is left...I really want to do this

Haha...ah yea, I forgot, you like the build up of romantic tension! I think they're quite short episodes. so it's not very fleshed out in certain ideas. I do she's funny in reflecting the Jasper fan girl in all of us though. Also meta with Jasper playing a famous star being called Jasper Yep! I love the Victim's Game. Quite dark and tension filled and Joseph Chang and Tiffany Hsu are amongst my fave Taiwanese actors - their performances are quite good in this series. This is definitely a palate cleanser for too many romances There's definitely more Taiwanese crime dramas, but this is the most popular one last few years. Imagine Jasper on his knees in front of you

Yep, it's a mystery why there are no subs for that - I guess because a Chinese streaming site released it and they never uploaded subs? I'm also confused as to why fans haven't subbed it...I know some wanted to, but it's a huge undertaking if you're not part of a subbing community! For some reason I thought you understood Chinese @SilverMoonTea Ahhh, then you're like me! I also don't like long hair and spotty beard He's too nice too be a cop But I do hope he does a cop drama some time. I feel like that's why he's popular...the romances...But at least most of those are rom-coms or rom-fantasy...pure romance is too dramatic for me I also didn't recognise CEW...I think it's the hair?? You guys are making me want to pick up She would never know...but I'm also not super into the story idea...is it good aside from Rowoon? Me too...but she's running out of dramas... Yeah, I'm really not a fan of Eugenia Liu (I was sad when they paired her with Jasper), but mainly because of how annoying her past acting was. Haha, I think her character is fun in Triad Princess though! I think it's light hearted and fun for the gangsters so I enjoyed it...it's definitely not a deep storyline though and has divided people - people either jumped on the Jasper train and enjoyed how comedic it was or hated this project out of all Jasper's works. I just don't think Netflix handled the marketing well...also TW directors are not use to the Netflix model I think. They're used to the conventional 13 ep/ 20 ep / dailies model.

Hehe I love that everyone's mind went to LJW and GAR's matching clothes the minute it happened! A lot of fans noticed actually, so I have to say everyone must be missing them both. Also fans have such hawk eyes, I swear Haha, black jacket in the van?...well we all know LJW only wears black pretty much Hope you enjoyed the edits...I made a few more for my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesedramaticdays/ For that to happen they need another project together But I'm happy with either...or even if they just run into each other at an Award ceremony and take a selfie together...then I won't have to photoshop my dreams anymore She does seem happy...but she seems to present that way...but she does wear a lot of rings... Yeah I actually think it would have been the perfect move - it would have been comical and it's a good time for a more feminist kind of ending...I think people would have liked it as it would be different. Ahhh, these damn writers... This is so true! Image is very important and I do think males definitely get recognised for all their roles but it's a bit harder on females. I also do think if it's an image breaking role, it has to be popular. For example, True Beauty was a bit of an image ruining role, but because it was based on a webtoon that was already popular with strong romance love triangle, it still ended up being popular for Ma Ga Young . But I like that GAR and LJW seems to choose challenging and varied roles rather than just stick to safe roles. I have to say I do like rom-com as a genre, but I also think actors should try out different roles (especially when I haven't gotten over their pairings ) I feel like he wanted to work with her exactly for that reason He would have learnt a lot about romance and comedy from her I feel. As he said, she guided him through a lot of the sweeter scenes and I think he found her a lot of fun and silliness in the comedic scenes for sure Hahahaha a parting gift to sunbaenim for all her guidance and care? Yes this person needs a promotion They got included again in a meme type post about sprinkling salt! about cooking: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLV7nVjJUJ3/ I like that it's not forgotten or tossed aside now that the drama has ended! Hahaha I feel like he might actually live in hotels a lot...or like agency owned apartments I'm still working on my filming locations posts...it's taking me longer than I planned because I keep finding new things/ new photos to add. I found a new filming location for Mokpo today and plan to add it in. You can see on my blog if you're keen, but the posts are a bit messy as I continue working on them. Here's some teasers for the new locations/ new photos I'm adding in!

I wanted to take a long live-watch drama break, but may have to watch this as it looks good. Also LDH to make a cameo...

Hahaha I'm never seen it! Is it horror? I became a big fan of PEB through Age of Youth 1&2 and since then she's gone from strength to strength with Hot Stove League and Do You Like Brahms. She just has such a lovely nature about her and she's a very convincing actress in different roles. I actually hope that if LJW has to do a pairing with someone new, she would be high on the list ...but there's a rumour she might be paired with Rowoon for next project. LJY is just sooooo cool Yea, I really liked Baseball Girl too - I watched it last year and was charmed once again by her ability to bring a strong female character to life. I think she's lead at the moment with Times which I'm not planning to watch, but the story sounded decent. I would love if she got paired with LJW for a project like that (That would be a drawcard for me to watch!) Haha, nope only up to episode 10! But enjoying the series. I find KMS/ L very relatable as a character especially his "I hate people" ness His character is so charming...haha, I can also picture LJW in a role like this too, opposite a stubborn GAR...maybe I miss DDSSLLS a little much and I just insert them into each other's past projects I'm looking forward to episode 15 then! I personally don't mind getting second lead syndrome (Do I enjoy self torture??? ). It's how I find my new loves in dramaland Also if an actor plays second lead convincingly, you know they deserve first lead. But I think it's refreshing to have 2 different love lines too...less chance of going into makjang story territory. I really disliked episode 14 of DDSSLLS because of the girl. She wouldn't even have counted as second lead.... Because she was literally a cameo It's terrible as I'm sure she's an ok person irl...but I can't watch the drama Dear M because I know she's in it and it only bring back the pain of DDSSLLS I definitely like the actresses that can take on an "unattractive" role and bring a warmth and relatability to it in a way that you don't even think about their looks anymore. I started out with Coffee Prince (YEH dressing as guy with boy cut) and still enjoy this as a concept...which is why I watched True Beauty (MGY did really well in that role). GAR is definitely on the more extremes of this with her roles...And I love that she had a bit of that in real life too with the way that she doesn't curate her Instagram perfectly...I hope LJW learnt a lot from her. I think he was impressed by her carefree ways and her ability to immerse herself in character, even if it was really embarrassing for the sake of comedy Thanks for this! It made me sooooo happy to read the way they talked about each other I wish there was a korean source for the original articles/ interviews they got that from. But it made me feel like they really enjoyed working with each other. Hahaha delulu all you want as this is the shipping thread! I've been burnt too many times that I don't ship anymore, but even seeing them both in matching brands makes me super happy because if it's not on purpose, it's like some secret link they even they might not know about...they have the same taste and therefore, similarities in their personalities Maybe this will bring them together one day in the form of modelling for the same brands... Hahaha these two and their mirror selfies! I hope he did reach out in the form of a DM I really like this edit btw...it deals with a lot of the sad scenes from DDSSLLS, but somehow makes them seem so beautiful and loving from Jun's POV? Also it skips out on the things we hate from ep 16, sooo...this is like a better edited ending. Song: All of the Stars by Ed Sheeran https://www.instagram.com/p/CLCU81mpeGj/

Haha this is definitely the longest and strongest Oppa crush I've seen from you since I've come to know you. I don't mind though since you flood my feeds with Jasper content I'm surprised it's only 3 weeks. It's been an intense 3 weeks of passion though Even the lunar NY thread has a Jasper name drop there I've never been into Song Joong Ki. But this picture is really not doing any favours....His fringe down is not flattering. I hate turtleneck tops. And the orange on grey pinstripes look odd. Hahaha Jasper does so many skincare adverts. His skin is really nice though! Haha Of course! He was known as The dream boyfriend of Taiwan for many years (the title might have passed onto Greg Hsu recently though!) Yeah, he's pretty popular in his country. At fan meets, he'll never exit out the front entrance like other stars or he would seriously get mobbed. When I went to his concert, people lined from 9am to see him front row (the concert started at 6pm). I think he's doing well with his fandom Yep, I agree...haha, I was more into the second couple in WISYA to be honest. Jet Chao does bad boy well. He's also very charming. I think this might have been Jasper's first CEO role? He's still weak as the conventional CEO, even though people like him in that stereotypical role...he's improved a lot since then....though I prefer when he takes on his sunny, warm guy type roles. He's just so adorable and too good to be a CEO like everyone else. Also no one will ever beat Puff and Jasper. I think he gets along really well with Annie Chen too. They also look good together. I think it's the height! I was so sad one time when they both came to Malaysia for a quick fan meet and to promote More than Blue and I was also in Malaysia at the time but had to go to a wedding and couldn't go. Broke my heart Hahaha, I recommend it to other people because most people looooove this film and it had converted many into Jasper fans...I'm pretty sure I recommended it to you too.... but honestly, I myself am not a fan of this story Nothing bothers me more than the very makjang I-have-a-disease-so-I-will-pretend-to-break-up-with-you-so-you-can-find-someone-else trope It killed me in DDSSLLS too, but at least that only happened in the last few eps when I was already too invested to back out ...this was an entire movie and sitting through it was hard. Don't know about chemistry...I only thought it was ok, but didn't watch many of the interviews etc for this...I guess it was good or many people would not love it so much? I prefer the Jasper-Puff, Jasper-Annie pairings Actually Jasper and Eugenie Liu do alright too. I wasn't a fan of Eugenie Liu prior because her character was next-level annoying in Behind Your Smile than it put me off her as an actor (And I'm not the only one ...there was a whole thread about this back in the old forums)....and it killed me when they put her with Jasper. But her character is very fun and cool in Triad Princess. And their Swoon games/ Interviews shoed very good chemistry too...I ended up translating a bunch on my blog. I hope Jasper wearing the elephant onsie means they're FINALLY releasing the last 6 episodes! It's been a long wait with no updates on "season 2" even though there was a cliffhanger.

@SilverMoonTea -Jasper says he plays an ugly duckling to beautiful swan type character and talks about his character not meeting Mandy's character for like 10 years. -The reporters ask how he felt playing an ugly character and he laughs and says he's very happy - he hopes as Taiwan has different types of dramas and roles, that he can play many different types of roles like maybe a crazy person etc...he's excited to perform all the different imaginations he'd have as a teen - The reporters asked how ugly is ugly? Jasper laughs and says "Do my best"...The reporter asks if it's still good-looking ugly and Jasper says no, they have standards. Mandy says he doesn't look like him and thinks people wouldn't recognise him if they saw him dressed like that. -Mandy said he's too handsome they had to spend a long time thinking of how to uglify him. Jasper said they thought best about how to make him look different. -Mandy talks about how people look at her more with long hair and Jasper makes a joke about turning to look at her a second time (a pun on the drama title) -Reporters ask Jasper's first impressions of Mandy - he said first impression was that she was cute, once getting to know her, she's really has big energy...they're like brothers LOL. she's like her character. Mandy says she use to think Jasper was like his characters but once getting to know him...Jasper butts in and says "Very manly"...Mandy laughs and says he's mature -They asked if he worked out extra for this drama...and Jasper was like "Did I?" But he says he did because he felt there would be "dangerous scenes" (topless scenes) for this drama...so he prepared by working out more. He said he just eats better and exercises better and planned to go to the gym with Deyn Li (bodyguard from WISYA/ chef from PS) -They asked what they noticed first in a person, both of them said eyes. Then reporters asked Jasper if he likes girls with long hair...he says it makes him want to look at them again...he turns to Mandy and she says hi! Then the reporter teases him and says that so when Mandy had short hair he didn't want to look at her? They all laugh and Jasper said no it looked cute! -

I enjoy pretty people doing a good mukbang. It makes the food look good and makes them look less attractive and more human. Really makes me happy Haha Why was it self torture? I'm curious now but I don't like to torture myself except for getting SLS when the second lead is worth it. Haha, ah these actors! Chris Wu not my oppa though- strong rumours he cheated on Avis with Ivy Shao And the timeline for the dating rumours vs breakup would support that? But he is funny! Hahaha you're not wrong @SilverMoonTea I'm not a self torturing type. I'm too soft for pain and if it'd meant to be romance, I like the super cute kind Also really do not like super makjang dramas But since it's unlikely I'll watch it and now I'm super curious, what sort of things go wrong in The Third Charm? I'll look up AYHT and see if I'll be interested. To be honest, I'm watching When the Weather is Fine more for LJW than SKJ Hahaha...nice try...I can't sell Jasper off for a look-alike

I'm glad for this thread too...though also on Twitter a lot of DDSSLLS fans feel the same. And I haven't seen any major complaints about LJW saying no to the role. And if there are, there's a few hardcore LJW fans telling people off for not trusting his judgement in roles I hope so too. I think it would have been a fun one to film as he had to live out in Mokpo too and he seemed to have a good time filming and hanging out with his staffers on the beach Haha, after awhile...I think I'll eventually be ok with a romcom, but it'll never be the same deep love as I have for Lala Jun for sure. And I think I'll always feel a bit nervous about him being paired up with another actress if it's not going to be GAR and not being to be someone I like This isn't just with these 2 by the way, but with all my faves. After Weightlifting Fairy where he had the perfect college romance with Lee Sung Kyung (and they dated in real life for a bit), I haven't liked Nam Joo Hyuk with any of his pairings and I couldn't watch any Park Hyung Sik dramas after Strong Woman Do Bong Soon where he was so cute with Park Bo Young.. . I think you just have to accept that you'll be watching mediocre pairings for the rest of their careers, unless a miracle happens they get re-paired or paired with another actress you like (and the story/ characters are loveable too = a rare combination) Hahaha I just spend too much time on Instagram! And Google Maps! I think Asian standards for beauty can be rather insane - she's pretty tall and I think she looks normal weight for her height. In fact, I don't even think she looks chubby at all! She's still pretty slender, but her face has gotten rounder over the years...but it's not sudden gains. I think in this case she picked a dress that has a less fitted look and the giant bow fixture around the waist probably wasn't as flattering as it could be. It still looked nice, but because it's hard to see black on black, it gives a wider shape. Also the sleeves were a bit looser? When she was doing a selfie, her arms looked really thin. Anyway, I always feel like the fans who make comments about weight gain would not be as thin as her in real life Not even comparable to her apparently "weight gained size" I like her style overall though and that dress looked pretty comfortable and made her look quite tall and elegant Wouldn't that be a dream!

Hahaha, I can't believe you found this! The name of the drink was appropriate to the character though...it's a Lala drink Yes! I'm so glad that this didn't go ahead. I am looking forward to his cameo in Move to Heaven though since the drama sounds like it will be a heartfelt one: https://www.soompi.com/article/1404667wpp/lee-jae-wook-and-ji-jin-hee-to-make-special-appearances-in-lee-je-hoons-upcoming-drama Hahaha, can you do episode 14 though?? I find that one just as bad!! I can do the first 10 mins and last 10 mins of Episode 16 if you take out the line about not making contact for 5 years Then it's just like he got sick and came back all better though Lala wasn't sure if he'd pull through. No one can ever replace the first, right? Congrats!! It's still a nice keepsake, if if it's not the one of our dreams. I've bought some keepsakes before, but usually I get magazines. Yesss, I love your edits and stories Such a source of fun...and I love your latest compilation of their matching telepathy instagrams today They do have oddly matching styles and poses for sure. No wonder they got along so well in all those games/interviews/BTS I follow the Korean Instagram tags! I figured out the words for "DDSSLLS Filming locations" and then you can usually find other locations from the photos posted. I'll probably have that locations post ready some time this week...I got distracted by edits today I felt like people would say that, but I honestly think it's the dress...it has a giant bow on the front so it's not as fitted/flattering round the waist, but she still looks ultra slender to me! I do think her face is rounded now, but that's been over the years rather than suddenly and it's not even weight gain! I was confused too! Her hair looked quite dark on the night! But I wonder if it was just flash on the photographs or something.

Well depends on where you live, but it's Valentines Day for me...so here are some fun edits for everyone! Happy Valentines Day Twinkles Since @multiloverss asked for it...Balenciaga Edits! Can Balenciaga just ask them to model for them together?? Or at least invite them to a fashion show together? Balenciaga edits They both still give off their character vibes, so had to make this from their recent selfies... And then because I joked about more KBS Award edits... KBS Awards as it should have happened in a perfect world My story-telling skills are not as good as @eNDe's but here's what should have happened... They'd do Red Carpet photos. No mask of course, because there's no covid in a perfect world Then they'd win Best Couple Award and give a nice speech like the Do You Like Brahms Couple did... Here is their Best Couple trophy (Photo from One Cloudy Day's Instagrams) GAR would make them take a selfie...or a few...I'm not sure why LJW would give her a bunch of strawberries, but hey, it seems like a Lala/ GAR type gift! But they're both also into their bathroom mirror selfies, so they'd also take those when separated I guess... Hahaha, Thanks for joining me for this revised Award Show! This has been your host, JenL

How's this going atm? Are you all enjoying it for a pure romance? Is it overly dramatic in terms of annoying characters? I wanted to watch initially...but then they changed the name of the series... Jks, jks I'm on a break from Live-watching dramas except to finish the ones I already had already started. I'm watching old dramas so I don't feel compelled to write as many essays Also there's a lot of older projects that I wanted to catch up on because they're classics/ good series/ I like an actor in it.

I only watched the ending recently...Haha not sure why! I was busy I guess...Also I'm part way through Miss Hammurabi and was distracted by that...And although predictable, I was dreading the second lead pain. I mean when you see translations of what SJ was going to say in his confession.... Anyway I finally finished now. Episode 16 -I agree with @mademoiselle the drama wrapped up pretty nicely in terms of all the bits and pieces with main story and side story. -I actually think they did a good job with the changes they made to the webtoon since it's still running and very drawn out in it's comic form (At chapter 132, SH and JK have not started dating yet )...And I like the message of the series that people will still like you if you're confident and people who judge you on your looks are not worth being friends with anyway....It hasn't really come out as strong in the webtoons since she's never been outed/ revealed her true looks to others except to the guys. The webtoon reminds me more of a young adult novel which tries to take itself more seriously as a romance, so I can see why some fans of the series hated the drama...it's quite different. But I enjoyed the drama which had more warmth, even if it was silly at times! - I loved that conversation between SJ and SH with the drinking. It was so sad but lovely that their friendship won't be broken up by a girl even though the girl is breaking one of their hearts! -The way SJ lied to JK to get her to realise her feelings for SH and let them reconcile was so sweet but heart breaking especially since he then goes to cry in the fire hydrant stairs and you get to see a montage of the times him and JK had bonded and supported each other over the 2 years SH was away. This was like a stab in the heart! - One example of how much warmer JK feels in the drama is her crying because SH must have been lonely in the States by himself. Their car conversation was so cute and then the constipation talk made me laugh -Another talk that was done well was JK and SJ's talk when she rejects him...I liked the way JK at least acknowledged that she was sorry for not being able to give him back those feelings (sometimes the girl has no idea or doesn't acknowledge which hurts more!) And I like how SJ also just plays it off by being nonchalant about his feelings. At least you could see they'd be friends like they always were. -I also agree Cha Eun Woo's acting as improved and he seemed more like SH towards the end of the series particularly. I love that he knew JK's sister well enough to get her power tools as a wedding gift! -So many cute SH and JK moments like when she calls SH honey in public to make sure other girls know they're dating. And then JK rescuing a drunk SH ...and then that "Don't go...can't you stay scene" was pretty fluttery And they spent the night! -Yay the sister's wedding was fun. I found it weird that JK's like entire school was at the wedding, but meh, I guess Mr Grapefruit is their teacher and maybe he's ok since it was JK's class. I laughed at the sister's "necklace" - I love the actress who plays the sister...she is so candid as you've all said before -The ending for SJ was so bitter sweet! I can see why @Tofu didn't want to see HIY suffer! On the one hand he did his successful debut and sung Leo and friend's song...but on the other hand it was soooo sad when JK was doing his make up and it was a mirroring of the other scene - But all in all it was a good wrap up. Quite happy that's for sure! I liked the ending for Extraordinary You - or I felt like it made sense anyway for them not to be together in Secret. But it was a bit weird that the rest of DO's storyline wasn't really explained from memory (don't even really know what happened to BK either)...it's like they graduated but there wasn't anything else left. But I like that they met in a different story where they were free not to be DP and HR. I feel it's sad too. I think it is both parties fault...I mean, sure, the agencies and celebrities advertise a lot and make the stars a bit too elusive so people are always trying to get more in touch with them...but there's a limit before you're too obsessed? I don't know how there are fan clubs that can buy so many copies of people's things or make their members do that. It also really commodifies the sense of loyalty - because I spend so much money on you, I am your biggest fan...and because of that I 'own' you. It's so weird. This is true, but I think there's definitely a difference between say making a mistake by accidentally saying the wrong thing in an interview/ revealing something maybe not popular about themselves (which is forgivable even though the public will kick up a fuss)...compared to doing something bad and trying to hide it (tax fraud, abusing women )...I think the first type of mistakes are totally forgivable...but the second type is what I expect them not to do. Heck, even for normal people around me, like my friends or workmates, I expect them to have morals and not to do things to hurt others I guess... Hahaha, not that kind of bad boy...I can't even stand Gu Jun-pyo anymore I'm not sure what happened to make me dismiss LMH so much I think I really didn't enjoy Personal Taste which was the next LMH drama I watched and then he never picked a project I liked ever again? Also reflecting on BOF I thought his character was a jerk and then clingy, which I hate...and even at a shallow level, I'm just not charmed by LMH's looks (though I can see why others like him)....I guess when when I watched BOF I liked Kim Bum more and was a fan of the friend's storyline more than main pair. Meh, he's too mainstream too and I felt at one point he was too much in my face? LOL half of these things could apply to other actors, but I still like them? I'm not sure...I'm just a bad person maybe Same reason - his dad is sick in Japan. But he cuts off contact from JK without reason. He ghosts her I guess which I think is sad after he told her he liked her before he left. So I guess it makes sense that JK ends up in a relationship with SJ in the webtoon...especially since they don't have that first snow agreement in the original story.

Favourite Actors and Actresses = Together Actually, I would love my favourite male actors together too, but that's rare since they're often of a similar age group and I feel they tend to vary older/younger actors together. In romances, my favourite actors and actresses rarely get paired as I wish since the industries are too big, so often I watch a series for one actor/ actress when I think they're paired with someone who I might like and then I grow to like the other person if the chemistry is good and they're a decent actor. But there is a certain thrill when they pair two actors you love together...or re-pair them . In Taiwanese dramaland, I nearly died of happiness when they paired Jasper Liu and Puff Kuo together for a second time even though the affair storyline wasn't really my cup of tea (though very much @SilverMoonTea taste). It helps that they're friends and Puff called Jasper up after reading the script and asked if he wanted to do this drama with her. They must be super comfortable with each other though since Puff rarely does intimate scenes and this drama had a lot of intimate/ high tension scenes... The intimacy was the only reason I watched I do find it's better if the storyline and characters are good when they chuck two of my favourites together. Again, with Taiwanese dramas, I like Marcus Chang and Vivian Sung....but I found their characters so annoying in Lost Romance...and then to add to the mix they put in a really strong second lead with Simon Lian and I died from second lead syndrome every.damn.epsiode. Ever since people told me that Yoon Park gets a painful second lead for Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life...I don't think I'll ever be able to touch it I like him too much. also I don't think I've ever done the 100 episode dramas They seem insanely long! Hahaha You love fashionable Jasper WISYA puts him in similar fashion to BWGM. I just liked his character in PS. It's probably more similar to real Jasper in some ways I'm about to start When the Weather is Fine, so I shall see how SKJ compares to Jasper in terms of similar looks Yep, Jasper is such a big kid himself I guess! I really liked those episodes of Return to Superman. Haha that kid was drawn to Jasper's charms for sure. He was also really attentive to the Pleasantly surprised kid and really looked after him at the fan meet. He even put him up on his shoulders a few times. Actually LJW with kids is super cute too. Watching him tease the little kid from DDSSLLS and help him with his apron and shoelaces was adorable

How is WISYA going? Seeing/ Meeting Jasper irl = He's prettier Is that possible? It is Hahaha I feel like you like Jasper in CEO mode Of course he is handsome in a suit! Hahaha, it might be because you hang out with me @eNDe...even though we mostly talk in the DDSSLLS threads...I feel like I would have mentioned Jasper for no reason other than me always mentioning him in relations to dramas Yes, check out Twogether!! It's such a fun variety show and Jasper and LSG have such good bromance chemistry. Their energy and humour really work well together and the destinations will make you happy since we're not able to travel at the moment! Haha, I tried to resist due his youth, but it's impossible. LJW's charm is too strong And now I've given in to my full fangirling of him since I loved DDSSLLS so much and he's just a talented actor. Ah, I love HIY I think the Instagram pushing HIY content got to me in the end because then I found one of his fan sub accounts...and when you get what he's saying, it's harder not to be charmed by him: https://www.instagram.com/inyeopsubs/ One of my favourite things about HIY (which maybe @Tofu might know as well) is that he claims ownership of all his favourite people. Like they would ask him, who does Ju Kyung/ Moon Ga Young belong to? And he would say "she's mine"...but he also did this to all the male cast members and even the staffers like his make up artist, Aluu. He signed her poster with: "Aluu is mine. Don't you dare think of running away from me before the next project." All his fans are like, are we yours too?? We just want to be owned by HIY. Good taste. I approve of this list as they're all on my list too. LDH got me from Hotel Del Luna, Rowoon got me in Extraordinary You, Kim Seon Ho gave me SLS in Start Up Good summary @mademoiselle Hahaha, me too. I actually rarely watch varieties to be honest though. You're right...it's the storyline and character development and their portrayal of the characters that gives you the feels. Apparently our brains have a hard time differentiating that those character's emotions are fake (even though we know logically), so we get attached hahaha, I read about in terms of why we get attached to TV series and actors. The science behind your attraction to Oppas

Actually yeah, that would have been fun to see them together at these awards, but I guess LJW was neither presenting nor receiving an Award so it didn't make sense for him to go :( I would love a reunion too! I felt like GAR's black dress would be such a match for LJW who is permanently in black Yeah, she definitely had Lala energy (and hair) on the red carpet. I love her happy-go-lucky walk and good natured laughs She's just so carefree too! I love her Instagram's to be honest. Even as a regular joe, I tend to spend time making my photos pretty and not-blurry...and a lot of celebrities do that - they look so perfect and polished....GAR just snaps a zillion candid shots (sometimes of super random things) and uploads them all without much edits except for a filter! I think it's good that LJW is considering his next project (and pairing carefully) rather than just jumping into everything offered Hopefully it means there's quite a few projects on the table for him other than what's reported! I suspect he wants to do different genres and also he might want to work with more experienced actors/ actresses...in terms of actress pairings, he's had a huge age gap with both Go Ara and Lee Da Hee (He was second lead with Kim Hye Yoon, so not a pairing per say)....some Korean actors I've liked in the past have said they prefer working with more experienced/ older actors/ actresses as you learn more and less rumours go around I guess. I've liked his project choices so far - even if I haven't seen them, I'm keen to give them a try from all the snippets I've seen. I'll support both of them for sure too. Yep it must be nice to have the power to be more selective of roles. And I think it was brave to turn down a role after getting an Award...but maybe he was protesting KBS not giving him the GAR the best couple award In all honesty though, I reckon his agency would just say he is deciding between any projects and the TV stations probably want to maintain good relationships with the agencies. There'll be plenty of new actors to take the role if they do make the drama. In terms of the drama's plot, if I'm honest I thought the storyline was interesting in some ways. I liked that it dealt with the art world and stealing an art gallery! But I was confused about the guy being from a humble restaurant business?? What does that have to do with art. I suppose a lot of dramas do sound weird before I watch them though....I was more in protest of the pairing (not a fan of PGY) and the fact he was doing a romance...when I need a romance break for LJW I would love this! It could have been a full drama for sure Those edits were so fun and matching. I always love your storylines and interpretations of what could be happening for LJW and GAR @eNDe

Hahaha I think I jinxed us! I was telling people here we weren't on lockdown and then today...bam!!! The silver lining was that it was a half day for work since my bosses were worried about us sorting things last minute or feeling stressed for lockdown. So I went to visit a friend, got bubble tea and now I'm settled for the 5 days Happy Lunar New Year by the wayyyyyy
