Ah you beat me to it, I thought of starting a discussion thread about this drama.

Anywho, I'm so looking forward to this! Love the cast and the plot seems interesting although a tad bit weird (because really why kidnap a star?), but still!

Pretty much this! It seems like it will be a pretty good comedy. At least I am hoping so. *fingers crossed*

So I'm fishing for teaser photos right now and I just stumbled upon Eric sporting - gasp! - is it a red-dyed hair?! Please someone tell me I'm colorblind. :S

P.S. I've read somewhere that there would be a marriage involved in this drama. Hell yeah!

I've read somewhere that in the plans of the writers the North Korean government is preoccupied with the "corruption" brought to its young generation via the entertainment business of the old enemy South Korea.
Kidnapping a hallyu star would work as some sort of threat.
LOL. The idea is great. I hope we'll see a true kick-ass girl.

Good thing there's a logic behind the plot however ridiculous. (I didn't know North Koreans can watch TV shows of South Koreans! )
Though I like the absurdity of it all since I can follow the story sans the arduous thinking. I just need to sit back and enjoy the show.

Darn it, Lib! You beat me to it again... was thinking to start a thread on this drama. Anyho....I am enjoying Seoul now...well, not quite literally "enjoying" since I had only seen the hotel, the conference room and just the shops around the hotel. I am quite torn between the decision of catching the dramas in the evening and going out for an evening walk. I am pretty stuck in my room after the conference finishes each day since I am not very familiar with Seoul and I do not want to be the foreigner who got mugged or something... so, I guess it has to be the tele for me, eh?? I am missing my hubby and kids now....

Anyho... the feeling is quite surreal....for the first time ever, I am watching k-dramas on tele on the time and day they are on and not on the PC or lappie the day after or a few days after!!! And, I am trying to adjust to the change in weather... from the winter in Australia to the warmer "Spring-ish" Summer of Korea.

Btw, anyone catch that number for the "disposable men" from "I need romance"??? I sure need one now..... to bring me around Seoul, that is....

I might check out the local supermarket store a couple of streets away. I am curious what sort of Korean foods and stuffs are available...maybe I will get myself a ramen for dinner instead of room service..??? Wish me luck, ladies!!

[amrita828]

Aryael, how can you not go for a walk???? Wasn't a piggyback ride our first, most desired adventure once in Korea? And we even provided you with some strategies - all perfectly working, I'm sure!

No matter what, I envy you. Even if it were just a trip to the local supermarket, I'd be more than happy.
Ramen sounds great. And according to some Korean beauties, kimchi does wonders for the skin. Of course they never mention their private surgeons, unless they are all called Dott. Kimchi, but that's understandable, I guess.

Have fun, Aryael: we are all rooting for you!
