Damo pictures + a little about Ireland

This is a copy of the post I made yesterday in [livejournal.com profile] dorama_chat , Here

Damo
I have started watching Korean period drama "Damo" from [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore’s recommendation and it is an absolute classic.

Short synopsis: 17 century Korea: Chae-Ok was separated from her brother in infancy, after their father was accused of treason. She was taken as a servant into a rich house where she met "a son of mistress", Hwangbo. As they grew and learned martial arts together Hwangbo replaced for her the lost brother. When Hwangbo joins Police and becomes a Commander, he takes Chae-Ok with him as a tea-serving officer (HEE! They had tea-serving officers in Korean Police :D). Later Chae-Ok meets charismatic rebel, Sung-Baek.

Damo is great in many different ways:

- Fabulous trio of main characters

- Storylines that make a lot of sense, move fast and no less engaging and interesting then any of big-screen films, and not only in the romance part of it.

- Love story to die for.

- Commander Hwando who is a paragon of masculinity, reserve and passion

See: Beards? What beards? I don’t notice any!!!:

First part of the love triangle: Chae-Ok / Hwangbo



























Second part of the love triangle: Chae-Ok/ Sung-Baek:













And AWWW! Commander Hwangbo on his own, because is so great!!!

Ireland
I have also started watching Korean drama "Ireland" with Hyun Bin (because he is fabulous beyond any words) and he is so cute and young and everything else in it, but the main heroine doesn’t fall in love with Hyun Bin?? What?? No, I am afraid, I have to give this a miss. :D Also dialogue seems to be really quite bizzare.

Damo looks really interesting. I'll definitely write it down my to watch list. Ha Ji Won is everywhere. I've 5 movies of her already!


No, I am afraid, I have to give this a miss. Awww, I'm bummed. Are you going to watch anymore Hyun Bin stuff? I've see Daddy Long Legs (Hi Won in that too, Hyun Bin barely in this though) and A Millionaire's First Love(Hyun Bin cute in this but It's sad)

I am so glad you liked "Damo" pictures, it is definitely "must watch", something quite original. I guess "Damo" will be influencing other dramas for years.

Awww, I'm bummed. Are you going to watch anymore Hyun Bin stuff? I've see Daddy Long Legs (Hi Won in that too, Hyun Bin barely in this though) and A Millionaire's First Love(Hyun Bin cute in this but It's sad)


I have both "Daddy Long Legs" and "A Millionaire's First Love". I had a huge sleep, so I guess I will "A Millionare"'s a chance. I don't particular like bad endings, but my obsession with Hyun Bin is very strong. :D

Awww, I'm bummed

More I think about Ireland, more disappointed I am too. I must say that Hyun Bin is VERY VERY hot in this, so if you don't object to the ending and to the fact that the rest of the drama is of the "WHAT??" category, may be you will like it!!!!!.

Are you going to watch anymore Hyun Bin stuff?

I think I will re-watch "The Snow Queen" a thousand times. :D

I will definitely watch Damo especially since you said it's a must watch. I just won't have time right now due to school approaching :(. Tell me what you think of Millionaire when you're done.

Hyun Bin is VERY VERY hot in this Well I have to at least give it a try now lol. Just for eye candy purposes at least. :)

I think I will re-watch "The Snow Queen" a thousand times. :D WOW, "The Snow Queen" must be really good. You're making me want to see it even more now. It's up to episode 8 with subs right?

Truly, "The snow queen" is fabulous, it has a pace of jdrama, deep feelings of kdrama and plus it is so poetic. Must watch. It is subtitled up to 8 episodes of d-addicts, but I suspect there will be new episodes this weekend. I think the last(16) episode is airing next week.

In a case you need it :

1) torrents: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/torrents.php?search=snow+queen&type=&sub=View+all&sort=

2) Subtitles: http://d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_41850_0.htm

I have gotten the Premium account for 2 month and this is definitely worthy, speed is much faster!!

I find that using "Megaupload Manager" (it is on the Megaupload somewhere) helps when downloading multiple links with Megaupload. You can just add all the links and wait.

Thanks for the tip!! I think I've seen it whenever I download as a pop up. I'll give it a try :)

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-01-09 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck in downloading!

[identity profile] allbloomedout.livejournal.com 2007-01-10 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
I tried out the download manager just now. It froze up and I lost all my downloads. :( It was actually moving fast and I don't know what happened. I think I'll have to stick to the old way for now.

It's okay! It's not your fault. I'm downloaded up to episode 10 now. Hopefully I can watch some episodes tonight. I hope the rest of the season will be posted soon. :)

EEEE! They are great in jdoramas community!! They really are. I'm so thankful you showed me that community since I can't use torrents at school.

I finally saw the part where your icon is from. :swoon: It kills me every time when he asks her not to hate him so much...

For some reason i love the way he has no clue that she likes HIM.

[identity profile] allbloomedout.livejournal.com 2007-01-13 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
