Hi everyone!

Thought I would give this group another try and see if we could get
some conversation's going or at least share link so we can see the
Asian drama programs.

April 9th, 2008 AZY, The Asian Network was taken off the air - that
means that we could no longet see dramas there in the America's. I was
in the middle of watching Here Comes Ajumma when the setwork stopped!
The last episode to air was 153 and with the way it ended I just know
there has to be more!! Also Coffee Prince did not finish as well as a
few other shows. I was so sad. I am looking for links to view the
dramas on line or places to purchase them. Unfortunately I only read
english so I need subtitles for my movies.

Well, I am open to suggestions!
Kimberly

Niya => so jealous and excited for you!

Kimberly => I never had an international channel.  It must have been
very nice.  You may already know these places but I also need english
subs and I use: www.crunchyroll.com, www.mysoju.com, veoh, youtube &
http://aznv.tv/en/

Except for aznv I think they are all streaming.  LOL, I don't really
know technical stuff so I might not have any idea what I am talking
about.  There is also a wonderful directory that lists summaries and
links to shows @ http://asiandramaresource2.blogspot.com/

I hope this helped!

P.S. I am moving to Seattle.  Anyone familiar with Seattle and know if
there are any stores that rent or sell Asian drama there or if there
are theaters that show Asian films (preferably with English subs)?
Thanks!!!!!

> me: -jealous- that's great!!! ^^

I'm jealous of me too XDDD;;;...and my wallet is broken for now LOL!

In the same week, both the AZN network and my local daily newspaper shut
down because of difficult economic times.  It is no fun at all.


AZN was The International Channel for most of its history.  As the world
gets smaller, let's hope someone else will make a new international TV
channel.

Welcome Candace and Jori!  If you haven't seen it, another K-Drama I
recommend is My Girl.  I thought the main female character was really
funny and kind of goofy.

Re Kimi *^_^* Places to download dramas:  I know of places to watch
them but not to download them except for veoh and http://aznv.tv/en/

Did anyone ever buy the manga cookbook?  I forgot to keep checking on
its availability because it was taking so long but I just checked and
it is out now!  I took a trip to Japan and Taiwan a couple months ago
and it was so nice to eat the food that I see in the dramas.  Omurice
was just as good as it looked in Lunch no Joou.  I found a Korean
restaurant by my house that is also really.  However, I discovered
that, although I thought I could handle spicy food I am a wuss.  It's
really spicy!!!  I still like it though.

Hope everyone is happy!!!

Also check out ROOFTOP ROOM CAT.  It is pretty fun.

Hi Candice:

  Great to have you join the group.  They are pretty quiet as a rule.
  When I joined, I was hoping there would be discussion about where to
download Asian Dramas.  My first Drama was Winter Sonata, after that Full
House, My Lovely Samsoon and my favorite movie Untold Scandal.

  Maybe you are the new blood that will revitalize the group!

  Kimberly

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm posting this kind of late but I've been busy
this week. My name's Candace and I just started watching asian dramas
this summer. Goong kind of was my first drama. you see i only was able
to watch two of the episodes. so i guess my first full drama was heaven
tree. I'm a huge fan of asian stuff. Korean, Japanese, etc. and i
especially like mangas.

Hi!

Well, it's been a long time since I've been back and I'd like to save a
be welcome to all the new members. *waves*

Let's see I just finished watching Stand Up! It was the one series I
never seemed to get to.  hehehe...for those of you who haven't seen it,
I highly recommend it.  Be warned though it's kinda the Japanese
version of American Pie. Even so it is very funny.

Also I'm about to sit down and start watching With Yoo Hee this weekend
to. Yea!

What is everyone else watching?

See ya!
Clover

Hi Everyone! My name is Jori I'm a student and I live in Chicago. I
started watching asian dramas last year. Some of my favorites are
Stand Up!!, Sassy Girl Chun Hyang, Hana Yori Dango I&II, and Full
House. Currently I'm watching Witch Yoo Hee and I really like it so far!

Hello everyone!  So is anyone watching a new Korean drama that they
would recommend?  Thanks.

Lead by Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye, Korea's MBC Channel's popular
drama 'Coffee Prince' broadcasted Episode 17 Finale on the 26th
August. Unfortunately, ratings were unable to break 30%, only
reaching 27.7%. MBC has already expressed interest in filming a
sequel, but since Gong Yoo is enlisting for the army within the year,
he may not be able to participate in the sequel.

The night before, Coffee Prince's actors and staff went to some
Charcoal beef restaurant in Seoul for celebration party and to watch
the finale together. On the night, bills were paid by female lead,
Yoon Eun Hye. She and Gong Yoo both really liked 'Coffee Prince';
Yoon Eun Hye said "This drama was natural, simple and honest. On the
filming sites, the atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant/cheerful.
Even though I had to cross-dress in the drama, giving up the chance
to pretty myself, it was because of my natural dress up that lead to
even more love from the public."

Gong Yoo says: "I never even thought that the drama's ratings would
be able to border 30%, everyone really likes this drama, Yoon Eun Hye
and I both felt that even if ratings performance wasn't that good, it
definitely is an outstanding drama. During my time filming the drama,
it never felt like I was going to work, more like going to have fun.
It's been a while since I've had fun to this happy extent! So I need
to thank Yoon Eun Hye and the director." Gong Yoo also
announced: "Coffee Prince might be my last work of art/creation
before I serve in the army, even though I've already received notice
that I'm to enlist in October, but it might get postponed. However,
at the lastest, I will still enlist within the year."

Aside from this, a lot of viewers wish for a sequel, even helping the
channel in brainstorming ideas - pointing towards Yoon Eun Hye's
Eunchan to become the 2nd store's boss. MBC also expressed interest
in filming a sequel, but because of Gong Yoo's enlistment he may not
be able to participate

Gah!  The same thing happened to me. I pre-ordered the Manga Cookbook
online and then they said it was delayed.  Bummer!

I went to pick up the Manga Cookbook because I am really excited for it
but the store said there is a delay with the publisher... :(   I'll let
you all know how it is when I finally get it.

I am still enjoying Coffee Prince; only one ep for me to go!!  Also I
really liked the ep 8 of J-Hana Kimi after not really liking the few
episodes before; I felt like it was kind of stagnating.  Anyone
watching anything else new, specifically Korean????  I'm watching a
couple J & T dramas and now that coffee prince is almost over I don't
know what other K-dramas are airing right now.

Oh, also I recommend the Korean movie the The Perfect Couple.  I
thought it was hilarious, especially her supervisor.  Last rambling, I
decided I need to travel over an ocean because I never have and I am
almost 30 and so I got plane tickets to Japan and Taiwan for December!
Totally stoked about it!!!!

Happy September all!!!!!

I think it is a good idea if people don't take advantage of it.  I
spoke w/ someone about something similar before and the concern was
that people would just keep the dramas.  Depending on how it works
out, I think I would be willing to try it.

Season 2 of the hit KBS drama series 'Full House' is in the making.
Park Chang-sik at Kim Jong-hak Production says "Jo Jeong-hwa has been
working on the script for a year and the script is ready for the 3rd
episode so far. Overseas shooting is also under review."

Casting will begin this year and the drama will be filmed and aired
next year. The director has yet to be decided. Park says "The first
series in 2004 was beloved at home, in China and Southeast Asia so that
many Asian broadcasters offered to produce their own series. A well
made season 2 could hit it big at home and abroad. It's unclear whether
Rain and Song Hye-kyo will be recast."

Almost forgot to pass this along.

From the company that brought you "How to Draw Manga" comes the "Manga
Cookbook"!  It isn't going to be released until the end of August.  As
of right now the cheapest place I'ce seen it is at Target online.
Here's the link:
