Ah the nostalgia

[hatredmadeofgold]

BBKaz for the ask meme! if its Rising only, Samsoon!

Okay so I am more into other ships than these two but sure can answer!

BBKaz:

What made you ship it? Why don’t you ship it?

Undeniably Peace Walker has a lot of potential, so I acknowledge that there’s definitely chemistry and tension going on between these two. I am more of a VKaz person myself though, but also not a big ship of mine but I acknowledge it and enjoy content of it. I don’t ship BBKaz that hard, that is all.

What are your favourite things about the ship?

Oh, the tension definitely and also their on-screen sex scene is really funny to me lol. Kazuhira really admires BB so much and I love his dedication to him.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on this ship?

Nah I don’t think I have one.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything to say positive to say about it?

Since I don’t ship them hard I can definitely say that the fanart for BBKaz is absolutely gorgeous.

SamSoon:

Why don’t you ship it?

As much as I enjoy fanart of them, I just don’t really see it. Also my headcanon is that Desperado members really don’t like Sam that much because he’s ‘a pain in the asshole’ and apparently sabotaging missions or something? So I think that Monsoon is just really careful about monitoring Sam and despises him more than liking him, so I just don’t see it tbh. Also I am not really into toxic/abusive power imbalanced dynamics like that, at least that’s how I see Sam x any Desperado member really. I do enjoy fanart but that’s about it. Also I headcanon that Sam is 30 at the time of his death and Monsoon is way into his 40s and I just really don’t like big age gaps (10+ years of age difference is too much for my liking in most cases).

What would have made you like it?

Probably if it weren’t implied by canon that Sam is kind of seen as a problem by other Desperado members and them having more screen time than that little bit in MGR main story + Sam DLC, as well as their age gap, I would probably be more intrigued. I am not saying that Samuraiden have more screen time than Monsoon and Sam have, but at least I see a lot more chemistry between Sam and Raiden than Sam and Monsoon.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

The fanart is really nice and they look sexy together.

hello again❄️❄️

so you've been watching dramas since forever, haven't watched those oldies, which one do you think still stand the test of time and would be enjoyed by newer viewers? only watched "full house" and "coffee prince" from pre ~2010, the second i loved and enjoyed so much. me.. i only started like 7~8 years ago.. i used to watch only western shows, but i got so tired of them having too many seasons until the shows become a shell of its former self, like i DROPPED A LOT because of that, and finding out that kdrama are **or at least used to be** one season only i took my bite and it was the perfect bite, one season with 16~20eps and that's it.

i remember i started with a webdrama as a warm-up to get myself into the whole kdrama as i didn't want to start with a lengthy one knowing that they're usually 60mins~ long. it was "dodohara", at first i was this close to drop it but i found myself enjoying it, and the budding friendship that bloomed between these two women...

how would you describe your kdrama journey this year? did you find lots of your favs? lots of disappointing dramas? etc?

—SS❄️❄️

hello SS!!!

I think the dramas before 2010 that I'd always laugh even when I rewatch now would be "My girl, "My lovely Samsoon" and "Couple or trouble", they're classics and hilarious!

7-8yrs ago is still a lot of kdramas watched heheh. I feel you, I used to watch more western dramas (I still do but super duper picky about it), but I hated waiting seasons for it, get bored and eventually dropped them.

That's a good start, watching a webdrama. I didn't know about Dodohara. But yay to watching kdramas!!

I think my kdramas this year felt a bit average, like I can count which are the ones I REALLY enjoy plot wise and although I watch a lot of shows live, most of them were a bit meh or went down halfway for me. My favs this year that made me think on a daily basis currently would include My liberation notes (as if im not loud enough about this 😂), Through the Darkness, Little Women, Weak Hero Class 1.

There's a bunch of others that just made me excited the first few eps and then went nowhere with the writing but I still stayed on either for ships I look forward or just me putting faith that things will change for the better lmao.

What are some of the kdramas you watched this year that was impactful?😊

[roohfully]

i miss when i was watching stuff like my lovely samsoon in ninth grade and had no basis for their quarter/mid life crises and work struggles and romcom woes now it’s like whoa i get u…maybe too much

[bangtansayswhat]

ahhh,Jungkook ahhh!!

i got so shocked reading the headlines, but glad to see everythings ok!

[universaladdict]

So my mum accidentally just threw away our past korean drama cd collections. Now I have to do it all over again. Downloading back my most favorite kdramas City Hall, My Lovely Samsoon, Will It Snow For Christmas, When It’s At Night, Shining Inheritance, Something About 1% (2003), Deep Rooted Tree and many others.

[grrrlsoverdramas]

1, 6, 13!

1. A popular drama you didn’t like - My first thought actually was Crash Landing on You, which I simply wasn’t interested in, and thought seemed cute from stuff I skimmed, but now deeply dislike because I have a few people IN REAL LIFE who didn’t like kdramas and got into them because they watch CLOY and now are “kdrama fans” and like, good for them, but it drives me crazy because all of them repeatedly telling me to watch it as if I don’t know what I’m missing out on, but I absolutely know what that show is and I am not interested!! The romantic notes are not gonna hit it for me, the politic intrigue is cosmetic at best and has Hyun-bin done anything since Samsoon?? not for me.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon I also didn’t like for somewhat similar reasons? I really don’t understand why it was so popular, given how the gender dynamics were such a let down in spite of the premise.

6. A popular pairing that you didn’t like - Surprisingly, I wasn’t really a fan of the Ikjoon/Songhwa couple by the end of Hospital Playlist. I love both of the characters, and was very moved by Ikjoon’s feelings, but by the end I actually kind of found myself expecting/hoping Songhwa didn’t feel that way for him? Which is so funny because I HATE the Lee/Shin production crutch of ambiguous relationships you root for but aren’t endgame.  And finally that’s what I want and I bet I won’t get it!! Also, Dahee/Jaeseok from once again were just so babyish by the end, and their relationship moved SO quickly that I just wasn’t into it. 13. A drama where you disliked the main lead - This kinda happens whenever the main lead is goofy-stupid? Like with Dream High or Shopaholic Louis.  I just can’t see them as a romantic lead.

ᴄʜʀɪsᴛɪᴀɴ ʏᴜ: ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ

Hello there my friends... I know it’s been too long since I posted something trashy for y’all to read... well, I terribly sorry about it. Some boy-issue happened and now I’m in the middle of being in a relationship and single at the same time. Well enough about me... here’s my Christian Yu one-shot. I hope y’all find it somewhat interesting.

TBH, I plan to write for Loco, but it’s hard to resist my mind when it keeps on thinking and typing Christian. And about the title, I titled it based on the song playing right after I finished it, and good enough it somehow applies to the story.

Note: Read at Your Own Risk ~~ (ง⌐□ل͜□)ง Type: One Shot Word Count: Long(?) - too lazy to paste it on MSWord.

[MASTERLIST]

It's been what?

Four years he's constantly coming to my shop to buy flowers for his girlfriend. How do I know it was for his girlfriend, well who wouldn't? It's Christmas Eve after all. And here in Korea, Christmas is somewhat spent together with their significant other, unlike some places that they'll surely be home at there own household to spend the holidays with their family.

I remember the first time he came to this flower shop of mine -- actually, he had no choice, for the flower shop he intended to purchase were closed. Again, I know because he parked his car on the other side of the road where another flower shop was. He looked around and as he turns around, he landed at my shop.

I also remember how I laughed at him when he tried to push the door that has a huge sign that says PULL.

He looked flustered with embarrassment as he bowed down and said sorry for almost breaking my door.

"Hi, can I have your best flower for today?" he said.

So, I did my best to help him pick the best among the rest - for today.

Also, I remembered that I include an extra red rose that day. It's really something I do on my first-time customer, that made most of them come back. Others even became patrons of the shop.

---

I personally arranged all the beautiful flowers first thing in the morning because he will be picking it up at eight o'clock.

And for the past four years, I have been waiting for a sign.

You see, even for that short time of that special day, I found myself having a feeling for him. First of all, there's this attraction towards him that I can't seem to escape. And everytime the door chime meaning someone came in, my eyes always landed on his smiling face. And his whole aura is so fresh that it's enough to brighten all of my flowers. And the fact that he smells good and dresses well is really my weakness.

And every single time our eyes met, there's this feeling inside me that at first I never believed existed -- butterflies in my stomach chills all over my body, my heartbeat starts pumping so hard and my knees turn to a gelatin and my feet seems rooted on where I stand. And right after he leaves the shop, I know why.

And so I waited for a sign. Any sign from God or whoever. For I wanted to know if having this one-sided feeling towards a man who looks every woman would want and the fact that he has a girlfriend are something I should continue having. I know wishing for him to be mine is like wishing to find a needle under a pool of people. But damn, I'm still a hoping mess.

I know his name -- Christian Yu. Of course, I know because I needed it to put on the receipt. I know that he's 28 years old. He's working at his own startup company and has a girlfriend.

He said that they've been together for almost a year now and he could clearly see her walking down the aisle as if he's picturing a vision and not merely imagining.

The second time he came, he couldn't remember my name. So I reminded him that my name is Sam. He, in reply, called me Sam Soon as a joke. And since then, he will call me Samsoon every time he got a chance.

One, when he joked about my name.

Second, is when the third time he came. He greeted me as SamSoon. He even joked that I might start adding on my pricing because he's been calling me that instead of my real name.

Third, is when he said before he left the shop.

"See ya later, SamSoon."

----

That's the last thing I remembered that he said, for what he meant by later was almost a year after. And in a few more days, it would be Christmas all over again. But this time, I decided that I will make our encounter over the counter memorable.

I don't want him to remember me as this girl at the flower shop who's named SamSoon so he could remember, and the girl who stared googly-eyed him whenever he gets the flowers he ordered for his girlfriend.

I want him to remember me as someone that has the courage to say what she has to even if it's about her having feelings for him.

He might not come back. I might not see him again. But I want to give a shot. It is better to know than not knowing at all. It's better to be hurt now than feeling hurt every time I think of him and every year I see him - buys the flower to you, for someone else.

I prepared the clothes I'll wear on that day. It's red -- as usual... but I decided to dress up a bit. I'll wear this red knitted dress that I'll be pairing with at black heels and a touch of light makeup.

I don't care if I'll be rejected or whatever. If I never see him after that, then I guess I'll just teach this foolish heart of mine the art of letting go.

Two days before Christmas, I stayed up late at the show together with some of my staff. They helped me to arrange the flowers and keep it from the freezing weather. But after a couple of hours, I let them go before it starts raining snow again.

As I looked at the time, it's almost midnight and my eyes started to get droopy. I guess that explains why. So I stand up and decided to close the shop then I'll just continue finishing this later.

This manual labor and the mental stress about Christian is taking its toll. I sighed rather long at that moment.

"Hey there, SamSoon."

Even tho I won't look at my side to know who was that, I know that it was him. Who else dares to call me SamSoon at my own shop? Honestly, that show 'My Name is Kim SamSoon' aired a decade and so today, but he still decides to call me that. I can't help but smile before turning around.

"Hey! What brings you here?"

I saw how he smile and gave me a coffee he's holding, which I'm guessing is from the other coffee shop not far away from here, where I always buy my coffee. Even tho there's a huge Starbucks branch near the shop.

"Coffee?" he inquired.

"Thanks," as I took it from his. I take a sip, thinking how thoughtful he is for bringing me a cup. And good enough, the tiredness I am feeling a while back, somehow drown away just one sip and smelling the aroma of the coffee. So I sip for more.

"Slow down, have you not thought that there might be poised? You're drinking it in one shot."

Now that I think of it, I paused and almost puke after realizing what he meant. But I didn't think he could do that. But I guess when you accept the fact you like someone, you couldn't think ill of them. Even if it sometimes, if they did something wrong, you always forgive and forget.

He then laughed at my facial expression while thinking all that.

"I'm just kidding, Sam."

Then I smiled at him. Finally, he was able to call me by my name.

"Yaah!" I say as I point my index finger at him. "So anyway, what are you doing here? And at this time as well. Are you here to pick up the flower? Oh my, I'm still not done arranging it."

"I know, don't worry." he looked around and walks towards the sofa set good for four that I recently installed there for customers who would like to stay longer just to rest. "I'm actually here to change that."

"Change it?" as we both seat and now facing each other.

He nodded.

"I want a bigger bouquet. Something bigger like this," he said while his hands and arms motioned the size.

And it was like an extra large round pizza. I can't help but be puzzled. Why? Not to mention it was really a last minute change. To think that I had already arranged the flowers for his order and now I need to change and start all over. At a season like this, of course, the flowers I used on arranging are pre-ordered, and what I have on the shop that was ready to buy are not that well for my arrangements.

And I am sure enough that he wouldn't want that to be used for his girlfriend.

"Well, the thing is that I'm not so sure if there would be any available flowers for that big," I told him the truth, there's no use on hiding it.

His gave you that apologetic smile and eyes that are enough to say yes on whatever he might ask.

"Can't you really make it work? I just really, as in really need it."

I sighed.

"Why all of a sudden? You always liked the bouquet I do."

"The thing is," He smiled to himself. "I'm going to propose to her tomorrow."

By hearing that, my ear went red. My whole body stopped functioning for a couple of seconds. Then he gave me that smile of his before I would probably turn the same smile with pleasure. But now, I smiled as I needed to. Even I'm dying inside. I just hope that I don't creep him on my smile.

I drank the hot coffee. So this is where it ends? So much for my courage to confess later. I guess I just spoil myself, taking granted on the past years that I should try to confess.

Now? No way I would dare to say it now after that. I don't want to give him reason to have a pitty feeling towards me. I guess this is for the best. It means that he's not the one for me.

I guess I should start that art of letting go thing. For this is the end. For sure, he will be returning to this shop more frequently -- on their anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's day or just when he feels he wants to be sweet to his wife.

Just thinking about it feels so troublesome -- yeah, envious is a bitch. But no worries... I'm sure I'll find someone else to love.

"I'll try," I finally said to him.

"Thank you so much! I know I can really count on you." He stands and went on the back of the sofa I seated and hugged me from the back.

I try my best to prevent myself from sniffing. I hold strong on the tears that start to fill the corner of my eyes.

For four years, I've been thinking about this man. And every Christmas, I feast myself on looking at him even for a short time. And soon after, I waited for the next time I have the change to see him again. Hoping that it would be sooner than the next Christmas. Because I couldn't tell if he might find a different flower shop that he likes and he'll never come back.

I know, having a feeling for someone who's already in a relationship -- a serious one too. Is really hard and don't to mention how painful it is.

'Your girlfriend is one hell of a lucky woman.' I can't but think when he finally releases me from his hug and decided to seat in front.

"Are you done? Should I help you with anything?" he asked.

"No need. I should start by doing the new arrangements for that bouquet of yours." I smiled -- barely. 'I'll be starting to move on with my feelings for you while I'm at it.'

"Are you sure you'll be okay here?"

"Yeah," I said. "As if it's my first time having someone requesting last minute changes. So go home, and you can pick it up at the same time. Take it easy on driving."

----

After almost four hours of painstakingly putting a beautiful arrangement for the bouquet, I forgot how I manage to get to sleep in my own bed. I woke up with the sound of knocking from outside.

It was one of my staff. It's been a while now that they tried knocking for me to open up for them. I fixed myself. As they arrange the flowers I finished for pickup.

"Sam, the huge bouquet in your table, for who is it? There's no name and it wasn't on the list." Ria asked while I'm changing my clothes.

"Oh, it's for Mr. Yu. He asked to have some changes." there's nothing wrong if I don't mention he came personally to change it.

At 8 am sharp, Christian arrived. All dressed up for the big occasion. Suit and tie. If I were his girlfriend, I would ask myself every time how could I not say 'yes' to this guy, even if he's not asking -- for sure I might be the one asking him the question.

"Good morning," he greeted as his smile plastered on his face.

"Morning. Look at you, you surely know how to dress from the battle ey?" I said to him. I was a bit embarrassed about my outfit.

I took a quickie shower and failed to brush my hair. I know I'm not a pretty sight to look at right now but what can I do? I can't feel that Christmas spirit anymore.

"Well..." he looked around and landed to the only huge bouquet lined up in the near table." Is that it?" as he pointed it out.

I nodded as we both walked towards the table and finally handed it to him.

"Here."

"Wow, stunning as always." He studied it, he hugged it on one arm. "So how much?" as he tried to take out his wallet from his pocket.

I shooked my head.

"It's free."

I saw how his eyes almost popped out and his lips formed a huge O shape.

"Wait, what?" he asked and you nodded. "Are you sure? You must've worked for hours for this!"

"Yea, that I'm not gonna deny. But good luck with your proposal. I hope she says yes and all went well."

Christian said thanks once again and walked out of the shop... and out of my like.

As I slumped back to the sofa I heard the chimes at door.

"Oh? Have you forgot something?" I asked. He nodded and walked closer. And then he handed me the flowers. "Why? Is there a problem with the flowers?" as I inspected the bouquet.

"You still don't remember me, do you?"

I looked up at him. He looked so serious. What did he mean remember him? Why? When did I ever forget about him? I don't get it. How can I forget the only man I think of all these freakin' years?

"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.

"Don't you remember?"

"What am I supposed to remember?" my brows are all curled trying to understand what he was trying to impose. I stood up, but when I realize his too close, I stepped back.

He sighed. Then he leaned closer that there's only an inch between our faces. So I tried to step back again.

"Can't you remember this face?" he pointed his face. "Are sure you can't remember?"

"What are you saying, you're my customer, of course I know." I laughed, to ease the tense atmosphere that starting to build up between us and his seriousness. "What is it that I should remember besides that fact?"

"Sam, don't you even have the slightest memory of me... Christian Yu, your boyfriend for seven years?"

My jaw drop. Boyfriend? Him? My boyfriend? For what? For seven years?!

That's impossible, right? It's only four years since I knew him.

"I guess you still haven't fully recovered." he sounded rather sad. "But let me enlighten you..."

And then he went on in saying that we were together for a couple of years when the accident happened. On the night of December 24, he invited me to go with him to Sydney to meet his parents. On our way to the airport, there's this drunk driver who carelessly bumps the taxi we're in.

We were both in a coma but he woke up after four months. I was sleeping for a year. When I finally woke up, I couldn't remember him.

Though I remember everything, except him. There was this blurry image of a man in my dreams that appears once in a while. I mentioned it to my parents and instead, we should go to the doctor for a consultation but I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it was just some flash memory that the doctor mention before.

And then I met Christian... and I ignored it completely.

Christian also explained to me that for the past four years, he had been looking out for me. And on every Christmas Eve, he would come up to the shop to buy flowers for his girlfriend like he used to --who turned out to be his ex.

Christian mentioned that we met here at my own shop. He has a girlfriend back then and he bought a flower for Christmas Eve for that's the only month his girlfriend went back to Seoul for a vacation from working overseas. And on several occasions throughout the year, he visits my shop for flowers.

When their relationship got bumpy along the way, Christian said that I was the one he talked to about it. He said that little by little, he saw me in a different light. He was gradually falling for me and losing his love for his girlfriend.

And like the natural course of nature, whatever's been nurtured grows and whatever's been neglected dies.

On the Christmas eve, he went to see me and mentioned that it's almost six months since he broke up with her. And now he's ready to be with me.

And the whole year we dated and on the next Christmas Eve, we both made it official.

And on the day before Christmas, that oh so fateful day, that we decided to travel to see his parents and right there he plans to propose. But that went all the drain when the accident happened, and I lost my memories of him.

When he was done explaining, I was still in shock that I couldn't even blink. This guy, whom I was liking from afar, turns out to be mine all along. And I don't know what or how but it felt that I fall for him even more -- if that's possible.

After knowing that he did not give up on me. Waiting for someone who might just die and leave you is hard. And he even has to live knowing that the woman he loves' doesn't remember him.

I still don't remember him until now and it kind of pissed me... especially now that he's crying in front of me.

"I'm willing to wait for you to remember me. Even if it takes a lifetime before you do, I'll wait for you. I know you don't know me and I know you might not feel the same but I believe that I am for you and you are for me alone. And if fate would be so kind, it would let you remember that love you had for me, a long time ago.

I'm not asking you to love me back because I can't force you to do that but please... please let me continue on loving you even for afar until I can't feel it anymore. It hurts, Sam. I'm still hurting but I'm willing to stay by your side as your whatever. I'd be happy knowing that you let me stay with you... even as just a bystander in your life."

Without knowing, I too started crying. Even my staff that being a witness started whipping their eyes.

I may not remember him... but I hell can feel every word that he's saying. He must have loved me so much... And I'm glad to know that even tho I don't remember him and us, fate really made me remember my feelings for him.

I touched his cheek and wiped his tears away.

"I don't remember you... and I hate that I don't remember you. I want to stop the hurt you're feeling but I can't remember how to make you smile when you're feeling sad. I can't even remember the right words to say or things to do to make you happy... It's killing me not knowing, Christian."

And hearing that from me, he cried even more.

I wipe my own tears and hugged him to at least ease the hurt.

"I don't remember anything from the past..." I said as I brushed his back while he buried his face on the side of my neck. "I don't remember us... but I'm willing to make new memories with you. Because guess what?"

I tried to make him face me. And when I did, I smiled. He stopped crying and I wipe his tears while the smile on my face stayed. As I continue with what I'm saying.

"For some unknown reason... I love you... for the second time in a lifetime."

i miss retro kdramas so much with arrogant chaebols and poor candies and extremely bizarre rococo aesthetics in office buildings… bedazzled flip phones…. wall slams… getting stuck somewhere together… running into each other for the wildest reasons… fighting w the mother-in-law… two-year separation… where did it all go??

[byebyeballoon]

I guess I never made an intro post for this blog, so here we go!

I’m in my early 30’s. Very outgoing and would love to chat with others about these shows! Feel free to drop me an ask or pm. Fun fact my first kdramas were My Lovely Samsoon and then The Hotelier. Both aired on the AZN network on comcast with English subtitles all the way back when I was in high school. The channel has been gone for years.

Fast forward to Covid, and being in quarantine as an immune compromised person. I got back into kdramas thanks to them showing up on Netflix, and when I couldn’t get my fill there I found Xumo, Viki, and Kocowa. I stick to the shows that are free if you don’t have membership, so I will be posting memes about those. I only have a Netflix subscription (for now, we’ll see what the future holds!). I can’t say for sure why I ended up pretty much giving up American shows these last two years, but I think it’s because I finally grew tired of shows that had been around 5-10 (or even in some cases more) seasons. I like that most k-dramas last one season and have an average of between 8-20 episodes instead, so the plot has to be wrapped up nicely in that amount of time. They have a better end in most cases bc they know the show won’t continue. Even if some (like Hotel Del Luna) have a cliff hanger clip at the end that leaves you wanting more of that world or story.

I ended up dragging my bestie @terminalsecondleadsyndrome into kdramas bc I wouldn’t shut up about the shows, and I’d send her clips that cracked me up. Our sense of humor is pretty similar. Plus we are both attracted to a lot of the leads. Eventually I roped her into it, especially when I mentioned Bride of Habaek bc she read the comics when younger. She sent me a couple of memes while we watched, and I felt that they were too funny not to be shared with the community on tumblr. She had a thing for the second lead in BoH, and I told her about the term Second Lead Syndrome, and thus her URL was born. Anyway, then I introduced her to Vincenzo and she was just pumping out the memes (over 100 in total!). 😂 So go check her blog out! Also my URL is from that show!

I am especially drawn towards paranormal and science fiction plots. I have been since my teenage years. Fun fact: I met one of the Twilight actors bc of this (technically more than one, I met three at a meet n greet, but met another ‘out in the wild’ so to speak lol). So I’ve enjoyed the likes of Sweet Home, King Eternal Monarch, All of Us Are Dead, Korean Odyssey, Mystic Pop-up Bar, Goblin: the Lonely and Great God, Bulgasal, and more.

Because I’ve been enjoying countless shows the last two years and had figured out certain phrases by hearing them so often, I ended up installing Duolingo (and a few other language apps), and started learning Korean. The alphabet was pretty easy to learn, and I can read it now (still likely have awful pronunciation since I’m not speaking it with anyone… 😅 And I know I wouldn’t be able to hold a proper conversation yet. Hopefully I get there soon!). I also decided to brush up on my Spanish since I took it in high school and college. I’m actually Puerto Rican, which was why I wanted to learn Spanish originally. I was proud of myself for remembering so much. It’s been nice having these things to distract me from my chronic pain issues. If you can’t tell, I like talking. 😅 And I’ve probably talked your ears off (or eyes in this case), so that’s it for this intro post. Hope you are having a good one!
