Kim Ja Ok is THE k-drama mom in my heart. I simply adore her and just seeing her makes me smile.

Yeah, the first time I notice Jeremy Lin he was playing basket ball with KevJumba or lying on Kev’s bed, while Kevin shows himself as a wanna be kpop star. I never imagined he, Jeremy Lin, would be / is such a great basket player. Recently a lot friends on FB are posting about Jeremy Lin. The only video I shared on FB was the one with KevJumba
I’m pround of Jeremy for being a Harvard graduate and for acchieving his dream becoming a pro basket player. I’m still a (bad) student, but I’ll take him as a role model and study harder.

off and on when i go to my mom’s place, i would have to watch a korean soap – i have never viewed one that i liked…that is, until i watched ojakgyo. most of them are soo formulaic and appear to drag out its story line to a ridiculous point. but ojakgyo is very different – there is development to the story every episode. and the dialogue and character development is very good. i love the show – actually happily obsessed now. thanks for this review – it captured the show well and how most of us feel for it.

Han Hyo Joo was great in Only You. That was the first time I felt that she really brought her character to life. Plus the movie is really beautiful, so if you have time give it a try. ^^

Hi Thundie,
I completely agree with all your descriptions and comments. This is indeed a lovely, heartfelt, beautiful, and yummy (the food presentation!) drama. Too bad, nobody seemed to recap it; is it because no idol or A-lister in the cast? This drama deserves more love. So glad I found your beautiful review of FF. Thanks!

I just finished watching episode 8, and I see what you mean about this show. The story is still a bit slow and predictable (although less so now that the mystery is starting to get going) and the Kimchi Life Lessons can be a little cheesy at times, but overall it’s lovely. The characters are really the heart of the show. I love how with each episode we learn more about their personalities and their pasts, Ho-tae’s lonely childhood and the scars he struggles with, which he wants to save Eun-bi from (these two are so cute together!), Kang-san’s conflicted heart when it comes to her parents’ legacy and understanding how to carry it on in her own life, Woo-joo’s kind heart and her feeling that she is not as good as everyone else. The uncle is so sweet in his own silent way, and the teacher is adorable (do I smell romance?). I don’t see much romance between the leads yet, but I love how in tune they are with each other’s moods. And it cracked me up to see how happy Ho-tae was that they weren’t siblings. I love Song Il-gook here.

And the gorgeousness of this show… is simply beyond words. You said it all in your review, so eloquently, that I’ll simply agree with you. I’m having food envy though. And it makes me a little bitter when they go on and on about how sad it is to eat alone, because I always eat alone, haha.

Thanks for convincing me to give this another chance. I needed some beauty in my life these days.

I believe I had my first glimpse nto the wonderful K-drama land when I was about 10 or 11. I wasn’t intrigued by then. May be I was too young to fully appreciate the then-adorably-young Bae Young Joon in First Love. In my middle school years, I would try to catch an episode or 2 of whatever was shown on TV ( My country’s TV network used to be flooded with K-dramas) whenever I wasn’t too busy with school. It’s more like an activity for me to bond with my Mom who enjoyed watching ANY dramas. My true addiction began when I moved away from home during my last year of high school. Many nights I didn’t have a wink of sleep even though I was exhausted to death because of my part time job. The homesickness and many painful events that happened around that time kept me awake and forced me to look for an escape from reality. I began watching videos like crazy on Youtube, then a few K-pop music videos popped up. I remember DBSK was the bomb those days. Then K-pop Idol-packed variety shows, namely Xman, then finally K-dramas and movies, I started doing drama-marathon whenever I had a break from school or work. I remembered finishing My Girl in 2 days, then A Love to Kill, Heaven’s tree…basically anything that was subbed and available on Youtube. Then the subs were getting too slow for my needs, I began downloading soft subs and videos from D-addict. At some points, I was reading recaps because I just couldn’t wait 1 week for new episodes. In my last years in college, since I technically watch everything during 2005-2008 period, and due to my desire to get to a good graduate school, I stopped watching K-dramas excessively, just occasionally wondering on Dramabeans to read recaps here and there. Now being a graduate student, my leisure time is even more limited but I still managed to finish Princess’man in 3 days during my Xmas break and rewatched the few gems that I have missed out such as WHIB. Some times I still regret having walked into this rabbit hole just because my perspective in life is somewhat skewed. That also explains why I’m still single ( according to my Mom) and sitting at home to watch Moon/Sun on a Friday night. But until a Jo In Sung or Park Si Hoo-doppleganger appear and make a pull-back-abruptly-and-hug move on me, I will be religiously refreshing drama crazy/mysoju/viikii/epdrama/dramafever/youtube every Thursday and Friday.
