Ry-chän’s Neighborhood

It's over. Ah.. I really really love this series. above all else, it's one of the best series... and after i finished with the last episode, it's like fireworks are in my heart, making me smile mindlessly, and then it makes me sad.. It pains me so much that it already ended.. I want more. Really I want more. It's just soo good... <3

Here are some scenes that I would love to watch over and over again... and probably I will watch it again and again (the full drama)

I didn't put any of those super romantic cute scenes.. those are just pure spoilers <3

Cool!

Thanks K!

It started with a simple reply to someone who requested for the original version of 어떡하죠 (What Should I Do), one of the more prominent songs in the last few episodes. So I asked her to leave an email, so I can send it to her.

Then came many replies asking me to send them as well. I decided to open a 楼, which is a thread in Baidu, to send all 3 versions of the song (Original, TV cut from ep 15 by Mi Nyu and TV cut from ep 16 by Tae Kyung) to those who leave their emails. I also asked if anyone has links to download the BTS clips, because while there were open threads for them, no one replied me the download link!

So started the crazy sending of emails.... I decided to stop at 150.

But in between, someone nice gave me the BTS links, so I extended it to 250.

But as I worked towards 250, many replied to say that they can't open the download link, on MF. Now I experience first-hand how censorship really restricts connectivity. So, I tried to attach the files separately; the reason why I didn't send as attachments in the first place was because the 3 files exceeded the 10MB limit by Hotmail. But after sending 2 emails, Hotmail said that I've exceeded the 300 emails per day limit. O.O

With the growing list of people leaving their emails on the thread, I had to turn to...Yahoo.co.jp. The one I always fall back on when I have large attachments or need to email non-English characters. Thank god their email limit is 20MB. So, I managed to send till 345楼, or, the 345 post. People are still leaving emails despite me telling them I'll stop at 345. that's already like 100 over what I initially capped!

I see many other threads with over 1000 posts and I wonder how the thread-starters manage it...

Aniwaes, the three songs are included below, for your pleasure. Love them to bits!! ARGH They should release a third OST with everything from these two versions of the song, Yong Hwa's version of his song, Jeremy's Such Good Words and stuff...I mean, they're already releasing TWO photobooks, at the end of the run!! Usually we see photobooks near the middle of a drama, right?

SO, ARE YOU DIAGNOSED WITH PATHOLOGICAL FANGIRLING?

Two papers down, two more to go. For tonight, I will indulge in my final ・°°・(>_<)・°°・。 ウエーン episode of You're Beautiful. Episode 15, was....not as exciting as I hoped. Maybe the one week in between had washed away whatever sadness I felt during the last scene of episode 14. Instead of feeling sad for MN and TK when the scene continued in episode 15, I didn't feel much until SW came into the picture. He was standing behind MN, who was crouched on the floor crying. And he was just there watching her, like he was struggling between going to comfort her and staying hidden since he had got to more excuse to protect her, with her rejection in episode 15. It's like, she's just in front of him, but she's so far away.

I don't get the Japan shooting, really. They just needed to go overseas so that the real MN can be swopped with the fake one. I felt that that was the whole purpose of the trip. They could have made better use of it though... What I did enjoy about episode 15:

• Shinwoo FINALLY told Mi Nyu (to avoid confusion later) that he knew about her true identity right on the first night at the rooftop. Like, finally! I'm glad he finally let it out for a true closure to his feelings. There's no more what-ifs, because now she knew everything, and yet still rejected him.
• Someone saved the day by being upright and morally correct! Our poor leads got to know that the song was written for Mi Nyu's mother, not Tae Kyung's mother. YES!
• When Tae Kyung got to know that, he went into the recording studio and did what Tae Kyung would do! Force his mother to face the truth and drive some sense into her.
• Mi Nam at the airport, where Reporter Kim pulled off his coat to reveal that he is actually a....MALE! Haha! The Mi Nam back looked really nice. =P But I was quite disappointed with the glimpse of Mi Nam we saw. From Manager Ma's descriptions of him and that short scene in episode 14, plus the one at the airport of him sleeping on the airport seats, I had expected a really cool Mi Nam. How cool? Cool enough for me to go kyaaaa over although I know he is actually Park Shin Hye disguised. But what I saw was actually more kiddish and... reminded me of Mi Nyu in the episode with the supermart scenes, where Tae Kyung was imagining her saying the line that got cut off.
• The scene of Mi Nyu and Tae Kyung in Japan where she left him. Tae Kyung grabbed her hand, as all Korean leads do. But Tae Kyung, as we've established ages ago, is a twist to the typical Korean lead. So, I had expected him to grab her a second time when she let go of his hand... But he didn't. Still, I like that scene because JGS did such a good job at holding back his tears, it was heart-wrenching to watch. I think this is better than the scene where he cried after being told by his mother how much she lost because she gave birth to him.

I'm gonna get withdrawal syndromes after tonight. =(

Oh, yes, Happy birthday riida! You old man!

Tonight's Himitsu is so stupid! (not referring to VIP room)
