This is an old thread but I hope there are others who have watched this: I'm just starting the 2nd season and I'm wondering if they're going to talk about what happened between Du Xiao Yue and her fiance in the 1st season? Because at the end of the 1st season it seemed like they were getting ready t...

To me interracial relationships are a non-issue. I don't really care what people do on the own. As long as nothing is imposed on me then people can do whatever they want. Also, just because you're in an interracial relationship, doesn't mean you're not a racist. I've known plenty of racist people th...

I think for me, the key appeal of Hallyu has been how foreign investment and international sales has enabled Korean dramas to reach higher artistically. From the very first episode of The Legend, it's just so obvious that this benchmark-setting event (similar to what Damo was in 2003) could not hav...

I agree with Hanjae's sentiment that the wave isn't so much waning as it is becoming normalized. A lot of non-Korean Asians are now familiar with Korean entertainment and culture that it's now a part of their lifestyle. What I mean is, during the wave, most people were willing to watch anything that...

I've watched up to ep 4. It's very comic, but so far nothing special about it. Also I just don't see the main lead hooking up with the main female lead. The age gap in the story makes it a virtual social taboo in Korea. I think they'll hook up for sure...but they might use that X years later thing....

I'm thinking of watching this and was just wondering how the romance is in it? I didn't want to read to many spoilers so as I scanned these pages, it seems like the romance is a bit low key... is that the case? Also, I find it interesting that they used a Catholic nun instead of a Buddhist nun. I ca...

I visited Japan in Spring 2007 and had a local 32 year old woman act as a tour guide around Tokyo. I asked her if she watched J-dramas and she said no, that they were ridiculous and completely unrealistic in comparison to how Japanese life really is. I didn't really need her to tell me that, but it...

OK, I didn't actually read any of the posts because I was afraid of spoilers... so if this has been asked then sorry! I'm just starting to watch this, but according to the synopsis, it makes it seem like she hasn't seen Byun Hyung Tae for a long time. But based on the first episode it looks like she...

I'm using Verizon DSL and I haven't noticed any major issues--though it's really slow. My torrent downloads are usually at around 30 kB/s but I haven't noticed any issues where I would need to call them though. Of course that could be because my upload speed is also slow. *** On a side note, should ...

Regarding dubbing dramas in Japan... The Japanese prefer their shows to be dubbed rather than subbed. Both Chinese and Korean dramas aired in Japan are usually dubbed in Japanese. All the Korean dramas i've seen aired on NHK (Winter Sonata, Dae Jang Geum, etc.) were dubbed in Japanese. --- groink W...

Dubbing and Voice Actors
I was watching a behind-the-scenes video of My Bratty Princess and what surprised me was that they were even dubbing the voices of the actors that were speaking Mandarin! (Meaning not a Cantonese-to-Mandarin dub or vice versa. But a Mandarin-to-different-Mandarin-Voice dub). And then I remembered ba...

...Although WE HATE STEREOTYPING! It cannot be helped. It happens in every country. I bet in the U.S (where I live) they stereotype Japanese people with anime, games, hentai, ninja, samurai, sushi, etc... I wish they wouldn't do that but even in America they stereotype black people as gangsters.......
