Korean movies and dramas

Carry You

carry youHe does actually pick me up a lot and it’s not romantic like in the dramas. It’s usually more like “Ahhh put me down! It’s hurting me! Ahhh!” That’s why I just pushed him away when he wanted to pick me up and carry me again. And I was watching the drama!

We haven’t been able to watch many dramas lately because our internet connection, for reasons outside our control, is pretty terrible right now (not fun when you are a blogger!). Tried a few DVDs but most have really bad subtitles so I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot recently. Also it’s hard finding the time to watch together. I can’t wait until we have better internet and the time to watch Korean dramas together.

Friend’s Baby

This is actually a redo of an earlier comic when I was still using paint and pens. Possibly not everyone has read that far back and I thought it would be good to do a digital version of this anyway.

But adorable baby Voldemort!

Watching Together

I was asked on twitter:

Do you guys have a tv show that you would have to be together at the same time to watch it?

We DID have TV show that we watched together. It was The Vampire Diaries and we had a rule that we only watched together- that was half the fun, enjoying it together. The episodes were all on my husband’s laptop… then one day…

I discovered he had watched quite a few episodes secretly by himself! I don’t enjoy watching them as much alone so I stopped watching and it ended up that we just didn’t continue watching. We should probably start again.

We always watch Doctor Who together, but since we are up to date with that, it’s easy to just watch the latest episodes together online.

The Vampire Diaries though…… I think we were somewhere in season two.

 

Are there TV shows that you enjoy more if you are watching them with someone else?

 

The Slow Invasion

I mentioned the first cube in this previous post.

If you don’t watch Doctor Who this is a reference to an episode called ‘The Power of Three’ where cubes start appearing all over the world.

Thankfully, besides from flashing under the bed, the cubes have not done anything else to us…..yet.

Team America

Warning: this post contains some bad language.

(Only the green bins were supposed to go out, not the yellow ones haha).

So not only does he copy Kim Jong Il’s lines, but he’ll do it in that voice. Sometimes he may continue the dialogue and start singing the ‘I’m so Ronery” song. Of course this sounds so funny because he has a real Korean accent and it makes it so much better.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, this is the clip from the movie Team America:

I’ve found South Koreans tend to have the same reaction to these parts of the movie- they laugh a lot. Especially before Kim Jong Il died, because while in South Korea, North Korea is something scary- it’s a problem and a danger – but when they watch things like this making fun of Kim Jong Il and showing him as ridiculous it was something like a relief for them. That was my friends reactions anyway. And they thought puppet Kim Jong Il looked exactly like him.

Now with Kim Jong Un, most humor about him seems to be focused on his weight, whereas Kim Jong Il was a goldmine for humor, but perhaps we just don’t know enough about Jong Un yet. Who do you think is scarier?

Other parts of this movie are really rude so if you are really young or easily offended, probably best not to watch the whole movie, though I think it’s more censored in the U.S. We have the uncensored version here and it gets very……bad. haha.

Matt Damon!

Sonic Screwdriver

You probably have to be a Doctor Who fan to understand this one. Or at least know there is a sonic screwdriver in the TV show. He really likes Doctor Who so I bought him a toy sonic screwdriver last year.

Might not have been the best idea because he can be really annoying with it!
