Dylan drama is with Qin Lan right? The story about big age gap between them. I watched almost half of it and gave up when they become official couple. It's just strange lols and the story so draggy and nothing new. I must be quite bored to be able stay that long

Haha, I didn't even attempt to watch that one! I was referring to Miss the Dragon. I watched for Dylan, but hated their story, the acting, etc. There was something about it that was just off and no chemistry with the female lead. I skipped all of their scenes and just watched the second couple. I loved everything about the second couple. The male lead for the second couple was one of my favorite male character last year.

Haha! In Thai lakorns, you have to FF not mute those shrieking parts! 

 

I think I will officially adopt Wang He Di. I am loving everything about him and his character. I also watched the leads' interview and he's super adorable too. 

 

But Wu Lei is still my current favorite.

On both the top and bottom! I think he pulls it off well though! I hardly notice it when I'm watching the drama. 

 

I think his makeup and styling is actually very well done in the drama.

@SilverMoonTea I love that you adore him! He's so cute with his dimples.

2PM member Lee Junho showed off the health of the 'trend' through the 2022 fancon 'Before Midnight'.

 

Lee Junho held 'Lee Junho 2022 Fan-Con-Before Midnight' at SK Olympic Handball Stadium in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul for three days from the 12th to the 14th and is meeting with fans.

 

Lee Junho who has been active as a member and actor of 2PM, has been building a solid filmography through steady work activities, and has emerged as a star player through the MBC drama 'Red End of the Sleeve', which gained popularity last year. At that time, Lee Junho took on the role of Jeongjo Lee San, showing a dense performance and captivating the audience.

 

Thanks to such popularity, this fan-con also garnered a warm response from the start. After the general reservations for the 3rd offline concert started, Lee Junho proved his hot popularity by selling out all seats until additional open seats.

 

In line with the concept keyword of 'romantic summer night', Lee Junho is captivating fans with his witty talk. Not only did he win over fans with his witty remarks but he is also performing performances that truly satisfy the five senses with his singing skills and performances that he couldn't take his eyes off of in group activities.

 

The Junho Lee Fan-Con, which will be held on the 14th, can also be seen through online paid live broadcasting on the Beyond Live platform.

 

Following the Seoul concert, Lee Junho's fan-con will be held at Budokan in Tokyo, Japan on the 20th and 21st. It is the first time in three years and eight months since the 'Junho Last Concert' in December 2018 to meet Japanese fans.

Hahaha, I can't deal with this either. I can barely deal with Kpop as it is, let alone early Kpop with cheesey moves 

I prefer if they're like band boys or something like that. Would totally be into it if they could play guitar and sing nice

Twinning: I was thinking about how our tweets must look very similar at the moment and everyone that follows us must be getting double the KTO content on their feeds  Haha, it's not long till he goes to the military and then the drought will put a pause to our obsessive behaviours...I think  

 

My indiviudal tastes: I feel guilty for not paying as much attention to LJW who is actually currently on screen  The drama is pretty good as well for an epic fantasy and the humour is fun as well. But I'm just not as obsessed with it as EAW  Hmmm, not sure what happens after EAW -  aside from Today's Webtoon and Little Women...I actually don't know if there's that much I wanna watch in the immediate future  

 

Might end up dipping back into Taiwanese dramas since they're giving one of my fave second leads his own drama....I miss how close Taiwanese actors are to each other + how much fan service they provide + how many stories they share about their lives.. Haha, everyone in the EAW fandom is angsting over the fact that PEB and KTO don't have many photos together or a photoshoot = this never happens in Taiwanese dramas. They're all really into their selcas, haha, espcially with whoever they're acting with   Korean actor interviews are also often very, very surface level information, like what flavour ice-cream they like or some trivial fact about the drama, which is fair enough given how judgemental ppl can be and how big their audiences are...they deserve privacy... I'm sure Taiwanese stars still do maintain a surface level, but a lot more personal stories about growing up or being in relationships or being an actor/ knowing other celebrities are often shared ( or rather, overshared )

But the trade-off as @SilverMoonTea says, watching these small industry J-dramas or Tw-dramas, fangirling is more lonely 

[abs-oluteM]

@JenL I know we must be annoying our mutual friends for our never ending KTO tweets. I am not controlling myself at all ...but we know the season will come to an end. 

 

Little Women - gonna check this one out partially bc the cast looks awesome. But primarily bc the book that this show is supposed to be based on ( a loose adaptation, I reckon) is so sacred to me. As a young girl growing up, I read this book over & over ( says a lot as I am not much of a reader).  So I am just wondering how they will capture the essence of the book in a completely different time, setting, culture & genre. For some reason I like this more than Pride & Prejudice - which I had to read for Literature in school.

Hahaha annoying...who me? 

 

 

Like you abs, I have no self control whatsoever at the moment...it's a steady stream of KTO, PEB and EAW 

 

I would apologise...but I'm just paying back for all the Oppas everyone else posts which turns up on my newfeed   

 

(haha, jks, jks, I'm sorry I can't stop... I'm a little ashamed that my obsession runs soooooo deep, but what can you do except get it out of your system by tweeting every picture, video and pretty gif you see, right? )

Yes! I've read the books before for school, but also because I love classics and I'm mystiified how this is an adaptation of the same book!  I did read that the writer wanted a sexier version of that story with like greed and corruption or something like that...so looking forward to seeing what they've done. Also I really like Nam Ji Hyun

2PM's Lee Junho shows off his performing skills at 'Before Midnight' concert.

 

During Sunday's show, Lee performed 16 songs in front of some 5,000 spectators. He opened the concert with uplifting songs like "So Good" and "Ice Cream," and then crooned some sentimental ballads like "Believe" and "Like a Star." The crown jewels of his show, however, was his performances of "Insane" and "Pressure" that highlighted his artistic maturity. For "Pressure," the singer appeared on stage in black, shackled in chains and sang the song in a black blindfold, visually representing the tension he was experiencing.

Since "Before Midnight" was a concert for fans Lee also spent much time casually addressing the audience. He shared how he uses his free time and talked about the behind-the-scenes stories of filming "The Red Sleeve."

 

"I always had a plan to hold a fan concert, but could not fix a venue for quite a long time," he said. "Luckily, my management company JYP Entertainment and I unexpectedly were able to book this place (SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium). I feel great to see so many of you here. Thanks to your glow sticks, I felt like I was a shining star when I was on stage."

 

Lee is scheduled to hold two more fan concerts in Tokyo on August, 20  until August, 21 more than three years after playing his last solo concert in Japan in 2018.

This is such an awesome edit of SSK. This is my other oppa highlight this year. Though I have adopted him since Be Melodramatic  but this year as Mr Gu, I think I love him even more

 

[Tofu]

I think for the last month or so, all I see is Wu Lei and Kang Tae Oh everywhere. Korean dramaland is all about Kang Tae Oh and Chinese dramaland is all about Wu Lei. Do other oppas even exist for anyone else?

You've posted Dylan! And I'm seeing Dylan on my TL too and the drama was even put side-by-side with Galaxy. Hmph....

How dare they... can't even compared. :P

It's like chicken vs mandarin duck...

 

 

BTW, it's really bad in the sense that I went into Joseon Jives and stare into the thread thinking, boy, have I not been here for a very looooong time kind of feeling

Lee Dong Wook's private messages to fans become a hot topic.

 

 

On August 17, netizens began discussing the actor's messages with fans on the app Universe, which actors use to communicate with their followers. On the app, Lee Dong Wook expressed, "Do as you'd like. There's no reason for formalities. We're all here to have fun. You can call me Dong Wook if you'd like, but that would mean you'd be as old as I am. You can call me Ahjussi, Oppa, Uncle or Dong Wook. It's all fine. Do what you're comfortable with."

Hahaha!! That's very true for you. I haven't seen you in JJ much. There's not much of a difference for me because I'm usually in both, but definitely in CC more nowadays. Poong is the only Korean drama I'm watching. The episodes this week were better!!
