GIrls Generation in the US

Did any of you watch Girls Generation [SNSD] on David Letterman or Live with Kelly?? I watched both and couldn't help but be excited for them.  While I am by no means their biggest fan I couldn't help but wanting America to fall in love with them.

While I really liked their performance on Letterman, I couldn't help but feel kinda sorry for them since they were guests on the show the same night as Bill Murray & Regis Philbin. uh seriously? Like how awesome would it have been if the other guests on the show were under the age of 60!!! I really feel like they got that shaft and maybe could have made some better contacts if the guests were ANYONE ELSE but at least they rocked the performance.

As for Live with Kelly, personally, I didn't like the performance as much as Letterman. Even their outfits weren't as hot but whatever. I still love them. It was cute when Kelly got to ask them about how long they had been performing in such but it left me wanting MORE.

Honestly I thought they should have forgone the whole performance and had a full on interview with Kelly. While I think Jessica & Tiffany are the only ones who know English well enough to have an interview it still would have been fun and I'm sure would gave had a lot of giggling.



Here's to hoping that the next time they are on American television someone will let them actually talk because we are all anxious to hear what these girls have to say.

Currently Watching :: Ouran

In preparation for our next podcast I have decided to start watching jdramas/doramas this month..While I must admit its been tough since I already miss my beloved kdramas friends keep telling me that I'm going to get hooked... we'll see bout that...

First thoughts

While the anime wasn't exactly mind blowing it was still enjoyable. Its pretty amazing that the same things I loved about the anime, the fun over the top characters have translated very well into this real life version. I can't begin to tell you how much it irks me when characters you love from an anime or manga are totally reimagined and become something completely different. Like seriously, don't mess with a good thing. (the biggest fail for me was Miwako from the live action Paradise Kiss -- thats another story tho)

Yamamoto Yusuke as Suou Tamak

The drama is currently on the same level as the anime was for me. Its cute. The actors are fun. You still totally love Tamaki despite his self centered ways. Its nice.


Then again I'm only on episode 3. lol.


Stay tuned.

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop :: AWFULNESS

the bad news

I recently watched Flower Boy Ramyun Shop and I feel like I wasted 16 episodes of life that I can never get back. It was awful. With the amount of press this drama got I thought I would some idea about the lack of meat this drama had but I was totally blindsided.

Then again when everything anyone talks about is the attractiveness of the cast and nothing about the actually plot that should have been a clear warning to stay away.

What was so bad about it? There was nothing to get excited about. The plot was weak, the character's actions are sooo obvious, and there's no big shocker. waaah wahhh. LAME.

the good news

Despite how I feel about this drama, FBRS still has three things going for it.

1. Lee Chung Ah/Yang Eun Bi makes super cute faces.

2. Cute Boys

3. ................ there was only 16 episodes


Finals Thoughts

Whether or not you decide to watch this drama or not don't say I didn't warn you. You'll want to like this drama. You'll wait and wait for something better to happen in the next episode. You'll come to the final episode and be like huh??! This was it?

Save yourself some time. Don't watch this.
