Oh. My. God! I have been waiting patiently for this to be released and subbed. Today was a happy day for me.

The first 30 minutes of this movie was..........intense! Sexually provacative. In my case, if I wasn't horny before.....I was then. I never thought I would see Ju Jin Mo and Jo In Sung....naked, licking, touching, sucking....(Oh my eyes! My eyes!). I think my panties are wet. Can I exhale now. I must have held my breath for over 2 hours. Do I love a yaoi movie or what? I do. This movie, if it came out in the US of A would have been rated NC-17.

The beginning of this movie was sweet and yet sexually thrilling. Yeah, the second paragraph should have given you that hint. Then, maybe it was just me, but the movie slowly fell apart in my eyes. Don't get me wrong. There were some seriously awesome fight scenes too. I just couldn't believe that Hong Lim fell in love with the queen after having sex with her. Because...well, because....he'd loved the king since he was a child. To have that change overnight....was totally unbelievable. Anyway, I have to say is that I actually felt sorry for the king. Throughout the movie, I was on his side. He fought for his love even though he got a little crazy at the end. And......for Hong Lim to say what he did....near the end (can't give the ending away) was totally unbelievable. When the king asked if he had ever loved him and Hong Lim said, "????" (sorry can't give that answer either) Aaaaiiiieeeesh! Then at the very end they are riding off in the sunset. WTF? So if someone saw this movie.....was something lost in translation? I need some clarity.

Ohhhh! Let's just say something drastic happened to Hong Lim. Ummm......well, can't say again....but I just don't understand how he was able to ride a horse within a day's time. That part was the most unrealistic out of the whole movie.

In all, I'll give the movie a 4/5. Why so high when I thought it failed at the end? Hello. The answer should be sooooo obvious. Ju Jin Mo + Jo In Sung = sucking face! That got my rocks off in a rush. LOL!

OMG! A new discovery in the "middle of nowhere" Texas!

Today, just another Saturday. No biggie. I ran 4.5 miles (trust me people, this is by far my worst. I used to run 10-12 miles every other day until I hurt my back.) I watched the newest episode of Calling Love and When It's At Night. I finished off the second time watching Miss Kim Makes A Million. I cleaned house (boring!!). Then after a while decided to go down to the local Asian market we have here. (Just so's y'all know. We are a military family. And every town we live in is obviously military. And where there is military town, there are gobs and gobs of Koreans and Germans and Puerto Ricans) So we head on down to the O-Mart (I'm assuming the "O" stands for Oriental), we grab a cart, and as we walk by the front I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought my glasses were playing tricks on me. No! It couldn't be! But it was........

.......a SUPER JUNIOR CD! I almost passed out from sheer joy. But I won't stop there. There was more eyecandy. BIG BANG AND RAIN!!!!! (Okay, they had SNSD and the WonderGirls...but they don't "trip my trigger".) So, I stood there GAWKING. My son about gave up on me. I swear he rolled his eyes at me. I didn't know what to get. But then, yet, I did. I was not going to leave that store without 13 hotties in my hands. LOL! So there I stood, lovingly holding SUPER JUNIOR's 3rd album. If there weren't people watching, I probably would have been kissing every face on the cover. LOL! I was so happy to find this treasure. Having been "borrowing" music from a site I won't name, is how I had been getting my music fix. So now, when I go back to O-Mart, next on my list........will be RAIN! (I wished they had Se7en!)

Now if they would sell Asain dramas.....life would be REAL GOOD!

*Yeah, I could get this all online....but why the hell would I want to pay the insane shipping charges?*

Withdrawal

I'm really having a rough time right now. I've watched all the Asian dramas I can watch. I've watched repeats upon repeats of my favorites. I guess at this moment every fansubber on the face of the planet is taking down time. I know there are some dramas I haven't watched. Mainly because they don't seem to my liking or they've been overdone (ex. Hana Yori Dango...I'm sure the Korean version is great but there is only so much I can stand so I have forgone that drama.....Yeah, I'm not following that beaten path and following my own.)

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is.....I'm having withdrawal symptoms. I start getting flutters in my stomach, I can't stay focused, I search the internet on a constant basis looking for something to appease me, and now I'm getting depressed. And, ya know, it's the Korean "drugs" I'm wanting more and more. LOL! I think I've watched every episode that every member of Super Junior has put out. I'm about to cruise the net for SS501 (never heard their music before, will give them a try), 2AM (another I've never heard), and I might do some Epik High (LOL! Sounds like the drug I'm needing. Oh, I crack myself up.)

I've just started watching variety shows that I'd probably never have given anther thought too. Star Golden Bell has become addictive. Actually, scary addictive. 2Days 1Night is hilarious...my Thursdays revolve around that one. If I don't have it, my day isn't right. Then there is Family Outing...OMG! If you don't like Korean language or shows, this one could change your mind. LOL! The show makes me so freakin' happy. I love Lee Chun-Hee. You get to see how funny one culture can be. The Koreans have a strange funny bone. But it's nice. Maybe it's the differential to my mundane life. The comedy, the games, the familial backdrop leaves you excited for the next episode. (Yeah, another show that gives me freakin' withdrawl. Ottoke?)

So what do I do? I've never been on youtube as much as I have this week. It's terrifying. I'm even to the point that I'm wanting to go to our local Asian market and buy out the Jjangjangmyun, Ramyun, kimbap, chapchae and Hite beer (and I don't even drink..LOL!)

Ya know what? I think I need a new "drug"..........

*....and no people, I'm not a drug addict. Read BETWEEN the lines.*

SUPER JUNIOR!!!

I thought and thought and thought last night about this post. I never would have thought the day would come that I would say this.....I LOVE SUPER JUNIOR! Yeah, me, love Super Junior. Yeah, right? It's true.

After watching Bad Family with Heechul, I did web searches on him. I found Good Daddy. It's a reality TV series about 5 men who raise a young daughter. The men being 5 celebrities. One of the men is Hongki from FT. Island. Aye Carumba! Fell in love with that show. I will say my love for Heechul waivered. He was very stuck up and assinine in the show. I wasn't sure if it was for viewership purposes or if that was really his true personality. Okay, my curiosity got the better of me. I was enthralled with him even more. I did another search on Heechul and came across another reality series called Band of Brothers. This time it was 4 celebrities that form a band. One of the other band members besides Heechul....was Kangin (another group mate of Heechul's in Super Junior). Okay, after watching this...found out about The Trax. They are a Korean hard rock band. Two of the members were also in the Band of Brothers.

After all this, my curiosity was still not appeased and really hoping to find something to make Heechul not look like an asshole. After all the searching, I obviously came across lots and mean TONS of stuff on Super Junior. So much that I got a headache going through most of it. But oh lucky me! I came across their new video "Sorry, Sorry". Holy Mary, Mother of God! I can't get this freakin' song out of my head. I go to sleep with it and wake up with it. I have visions of Super Junior running amuck through my head. Thirteen cutie patooties of testosterone. Aiiiiish! Yes, those of you who have no clue who Super Junior are. This is a boy group of 13. Yes, I will post a picture of all 13. I do have my favorites. I won't go on and on about those favorites because I don't have enough time or space in my blog to gush about them. I will say who they are are though......1. Han Geng 2. Si Won 3. Hee Chul 4. Dong Hae 5.Ryeo Wook 6.Kang In 7. Sung Min 8. Yee Sung 9. Ki Bum 10. Kyu Hyun 11. Lee Teuk 12. Eun Hyuk 13. Shin Dong. In that order at this moment. Order might change....who knows. *shrugs*

I know you wonder. Did I find anything on Heechul that eliminated him from being an asshole? Not really. But have decided that is just him and his personality. Doesn't mean he's a jerk....maybe that is just how he is in front of a camera. I did thought find a nice story on the group on youtube made by a girl from China. Some nice person subbed the Chinese into Korean then into English. Everything that was said were quotes from interviews and radio shows of Super Junior. All the comments said they cried. I was like "whatever". I don't think I'll cry. Well, after the second video I broke down. Not a sobbing gush but tears strolled down my cheeks. *sigh* This was such a sweet story even though the title of the videos were called Super Junior Sad Story.



This is just the first of 8. You'll have to find the rest for yourselves. This story, the interviews, everything made me realize that Han Geng is probably the most sweetest guy out of the group. Total marriage material. *sigh*

I changed my mind. I won't post individual pictures. I'll be at my computer all day. LOL!



This the latest picture from their new album that just came out this month...."Sorry, Sorry".
