Well it's not the first time that sentences with words of more than two syllables have be cast aside.
As my mother used to say..'What is the world coming to'
I kinda got confused about that as well in the earlier part of the series. Yong-ha's always wearing ostentatious clothes so I assumed he was a Noron. But I remember in one scene while Ha In Soo was plotting against the Jalgeum Quartet, he briefly mentions that Yong-ha was neither a Soron or a Noron and even he was a bit befuddled about Yong-ha's reason for hanging out with a Soron, a Noron and a Namin. I guess it would make sense to assume that Yong-ha's family has no political leaning. If we follow that premise, we can also assume that he is in the Eastern dormitory since it's the one that's open for all other students. The Western Dorms seem to have become exclusive for the dominant Norons. Geol-Oh mentions this in one of the earlier episodes too, if I remember correctly. That would also explain why he and Geol-Oh are friends since the latter hates the political factions, anyway.toenail wrote:Question, what is Yong-ha doing in Eastern dorm?
Noron = Western dorm
Soron + Namin = Eastern dorm
In the beginning Yong-ha is part of In-Soo's entourage, so he can't be a Soron. Is he Namin? Or is he .... factionless?
His father bought false lineage so he can pretend to be a yangban, wonder what sort of lineage is that. If that's a Noron lineage, how can he stay in Eastern dorm and become a Soron's (Geol-Oh's) friend?
Anyone knows?
Edit: The first morning Yoon-shik at Sungkyunkwan (ep. 3), the students washed their faces together in front of their rooms. Only a few students away, there's Yong-ha laughing and looking at her. That means he's in Eastern dorm too, right?

BTW. I find it cute and a little bit of a charade - if you know what DBSK stands for, keke...
I don't think its polite to laugh about others culture ... I really like people wearing that traditional clothes ...even find that sexy :$ , I think it s a mark and sign of proud of who they are !Peggy wrote:When I saw the picture of Songgi in Joseon clothing I had the thought that we admire our actors and we don't really find the historical garb at all strange. Are we so much involved with Korean dramas that we now accept the costuming without any comment? I mean I love the costumes in SKKS, but if I were to show that picture to someone who had never seen kdrama they would either laugh or ask a lot of questions about who and what and where and why.
I was once discussing the Japanese drama 'Oda Nobunaga' and showed a picture of Takuya Kimura dressed as a young samurai. I was really surprised at a posting where the person was apparently rolling around laughing ,and for the life of me I could see nothing to laugh at in the samurai attire at all. Frankly I thought it showed total ignorance in anyone who watched Japanese dramas.
I just thought....I wonder if this would happen with our Songgi in his beautiful robes.
Look at the finery that men wore in the western world around the1600/1700 eras.
George III and George Washington were quite peacocks in their days don't you think...
Just thinking.
well i know i started this off topic subject so is my bad. but I still can argue with this statement which i find it too sever and harsh. maybe in another thread that is not Jdrama or Kdrama thread so we don't get influx of biased opinions. one thing i believe, there is NO emotionless people. they're all the same. the only difference is the way they express it or they see the whole issue.Ethlenn wrote:Well, this is a very tentative topic, dear. Koreans are emotional, Japanese are emotionless.
I prefer the first option, because I can feel the pulsing life in it, not just some graveyard calmness. I will have time for this later, not in dramas.
But you know, maiko's kimono are garish.
hey there! it is OK, runs now - I think there was sumthing wrong with my torrent programme or com or something.Ethlenn wrote:If you can wait 2 weeks, I will reseed, now I had STUFF on my HD, sorry. But this is not seed request thread.

But in case of any problems with particular epiosde, pm me^^
I love traditional the Korean and Japanese traditional garb, really bright and happy colors with lots and lots of fabric. LOL. I really enjoy watching period dramas coz I'm very much interested in foreign (specifically oriental) culture. But yeah, I personally prefer the traditional Kimonos coz they truly are works of art. I, too, come from a mainly Jdrama background and sometimes I miss the quiet zen that is the essence of traditional Japanese culture. Before I didn't like Kdramas coz they're too noisy when they talk (no offense to Koreans) but I eventually got used to it. I still can't tolerate Taiwanese dramas though. They're just too long and really dragging.Issy wrote:Re-cloths
To be honest comparing to those beautifully coloured kimonos, hanboks have no appeal to me. They might look like flowers from the top (not many people sitting on the the top to admire its one beauty side except for angels) but all women look pregnant from sideways. Not to mention their pick and mix bright colours. Not so calming. I find most of those kimonos designs a real piece of art.
Then I noticed something after watching kdramas for over a year. There is certain loudness and exaggerations in their way of life that lacks calmness. It is in their every way of life. From loud fast talking, very deep and sometimes over the top rmotions, using so many different colours in their clothing, their designs on Walls ...
I don't mean to offend Koreans by saying this and no cultural disrespect is intended but this is my observations from watching over 50 dramas for one year. I liked it sometimes and not very much at other times. It gives me headache when I not in a good mood but it also gives me happiness (with their way of conveying love and emotions) when I need it. But coming from mainly Jdrama background, I do miss the certain quietness and calm that I am used to. As I said to one od friend before, there is certain quietness that always present even in loudest Jdrama and there is certain loudness present in even mist quiet Kdrama and this never changes.

like that arrrr? thanks a lot! I will try it out.arakira wrote:I'm anything but a tech expert but here's what I can think of:

you can redownload the torrent file (click on one of the arrows) and then tell your torrent client to save it in the folder where you moved your file to, it should then find the file and seed automatically - if it doesn't, click on force recheck . Or you can just move the file you want to seed back into the folder you usually use for the downloads.
toenail
you can move torrents upwards in the queue and you can also pause or stop other seeds if you want your client to concentrate on only one. You can also click on high bandwidth, to boost a certain torrent I think.

About Ah In's vid, no one's seeding![]()
@bubbsie and shintee:
I like all the boys of the Jalgeum Quartet. They have their own charms.
Yelling someone breaks the rules certainly got the guards alert right away, and that's to scare Yoon-shik. Spilling ink on someone's paper probably breaks the rule (what are you doing to someone else's paper, anyway?), but he knows he's safe because there's no proof he copies her blank paper.shintee wrote:signaled the guards in the entrance exams to SKK, he said "there is someone breaking the rules" and then the guards come up, understandably very grouchy and asks "WHO?" then he says "oh me. because I spilled ink on Yun Shik's paper"
Yong-ha suspects Yoon-shik, and and he's insinuating that as soon as he finds out what Yoon-shik is (a sissy, a transexual, or just a woman?), then Yoon-shik will be famous with the nickname he's gonna give her.shintee wrote:he said "I am yong ha, my nickname is ___' all suave like. then yun shik said "I am kim yun shik. no nickname"
