Korean "Boys over Flowers". And "Mei-chan no Shitsuji"

I am staying away from the spoilers for the episodes 9 and 10 of "Boys over Flowers" (I know the main direction from previous versions) because I promised my daughter yesterday to watch them together when subtitles are out. Parental love is the strongest thing in the world.

Also - I am hugely obsessed with Mei-chan no Shitsuji (Mei-chan's butler). Why no-one is watching this??? It has a spunky spectacles-wearing girl with a dedicated super-butler caring for all her needs?????????????

I was about to start My Belowed Children raw when I noticed Aja-Aja also has hardsubbed episodes! Apparently there is a subbing group that took on this reeeally long (50 episodes) weekend drama. 20 epis done so far. It's been quite entertaining... yeah, I ended up watching about 14 episodes in a row yesterday. XD Talk about JHW being dreamy, omo! He's bit of a jerk in this one but not a bad person really. The main OTP is lovely. The male lead is so sweet (he's a single dad) and has a witch of an ex-wife (she needs to be strangled) - I see plenty of angst ahead. LOL!

No group has so far taken on Iljimae, so there's no knowing if it'll ever get proper subs.

This sounds great - I might check it up, after all .:D

Fingers crossed for Iljimae - is it just me or it seems that there is less interest in subbing Korean dramas lately? I am still waiting for "Star's lover" to be subbed. ** sigh **

Give it a try, it's not bad for a soap. And it's quite funny in places too. It really is a story about families.

Btw have you seen Over the Rainbow yet? I really need to do that rec, it keeps writing itself in my head. So annoying! ;P

Yeah, it does seem like quite few of the k-dramas are ignored lately. Maybe the groups have lost subbers so can't take on as many as before.

I haven't seen "Over the Rainbow".. I might try seeing you like it! I am watching "Air City" now, quite my thing. I need to post about this drama too.
