trailer is out!!! And I could not be more excited! So many feels; I’m not even
sure where to start! I’ll start with the best part! Lee Min Ho wraps his arm
around Park Shin Hye’s shoulder and says “It’s okay, baby.” IN ENGLISH! Melt! And
then there is….hjfd;sanfm</span>d;lpfd<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Move over! Hey guys! It’s dramadraftee here. I took the
keyboard back. As you can tell my Inner Fangirl is having a very good day what
with the first teaser trailer out for Heirs. Right now she is off watching the
trailer for the 100<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> time and dancing around like a lunatic. Now,
one thing that I do like about the teaser is the “Heir of (insert thing here)”
as an introduction to the characters. I was hoping for a little bit more
glamour since this was first reported as a Korean version of Gossip Girl. Inner
Fangirl’s hopes are very high for this drama but I am trying to keep the
logical side (dramadraftee) toned down. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Enjoy the teaser below for yourself and let me know
what you think. Heirs premiers on October 9<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> on SBS.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Alright, I’m ready to do my first recap! <i>It Started with a
Kiss</i> is a Taiwanese drama that is based off of the manga by the same name. It
aired in 2005-2006. I have seen three of the adaptions and this one is my
favorite. I love the story which is why I could watch three of basically the
same show. Even though I have watched this series before I am going to write my
recap as though I haven’t seen it before. I am going to try to get out two
recaps a week, maybe more if I can find the time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We start out with Yuan Xiang Qin (<b>Ariel Lin</b>) standing on a
walkway that connects two buildings holding a letter and giving herself an
inner pep talk. The letter has heart stickers all over it. In the distance, Jiang
Zhi Shu (<b>Joe Cheng</b>) is walking towards her. She holds out the letter and he
passes by like she isn’t even there. Snob much or are you just blind?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Xiang Qin stands there with her arms extended out for a
moment and then she falls backwards. Zhi Shu’s friend jumps over her and asks
him some questions about airplanes and aerodynamics as Zhi Shu stares at her.
He walks over, kneels down and asks “Do you have nothing better to do with your
life?” Then gets up and walks away. All this time Xiang Qin has been holding
the letter out and she drops her hands and the letter, as a bunch of kids
circle around her. Cue intro.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Xiang Qin sits against a railing as other students point and
talk about is stupid for trying to give Zhi Shu a love letter. They steal the letter
from her. She chased them around to get it back. After she gets the letter
back, she hears everyone talking about how wonderful Zhi Shu is. He’s so smart,
tall, and good looking. As Xiang Qin runs away she runs in to a plastic sign.
She keeps trying over and over to break though. Finally one of the teachers
holds it up for her to pass under. Wow… ok so I guess that we are supposed to
see how stupid she is. Xiang Qin runs to the ladies room to hide. Standing just
outside the doors looking pitiful, Xiang Qin sees a sign with Zhi Shu’s picture
on it. She takes off again. No worries girl, we all have those bad days and
wish we could change something we did that in hind sight turned out to be super
embarrassing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

runs to hide in a corner but then decides to tell them she is right here. They ask
her why she would embarrass herself by giving Zhi Shu a love letter. Xiang Qin cries
that she has had a crush on Zhi Shu for two years and finally got the courage
to tell him. Her friends pity her and she walks away to grab her bag. Xiang Qin
says she even looked up a bunch of words while she was writing the letter and
he didn’t even look at it. Her friends tell Xiang Qin they need to get to
class. Chan Mei says she has never seen him with a girl. Ya Nong replies with
maybe he is gay. That would hilarious, but this is not that kind of drama.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that a genius wouldn’t like a dumb girl like her, but she can’t help herself.
She fell for him at first sight. Flashback: to the first day of high school
when Zhi Shu gives a speech. Xiang Qin is super impressed with him and thinks
he is so good looking too. She wants to be friends and in the same class.
Getting excited Xiang Qin says that she will go from F to A class by next year!
Chan Mei and Ya Nong tell her that is impossible. Xiang Qin says then by the
last year of school she will make it into Class A. But that was just wishful
thinking; and we see why. Class A’s teacher gives a math lecture. Class F’s
teacher draws pictures for his class as they learn adages. Xiang Qin has her
head down and is not paying attention. Zhi Shu stands up and corrects the
teacher on the math problem (Ack, Math).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Papa Yuan is downstairs building a stool. He starts talking
to a picture of Xiang Qin’s mom. He gets all emotional as he tells her that he
fulfilled the dream they had of owning a house. Xiang Qin finds him crying when
she brings a box down to him. He tries to hide his tears and pulls himself
together explaining he was just showing mom the house. She gives in a tissue
for his nose. He is very proud of their new home saying they should smell all
the new smells. She thinks it is shaky in the wind. He says it is a sturdy home.
We know what that means…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This show… I just love it. The shenanigans of these two
teens living together, I can’t wait. If you read my last drama challenge, you
would know that Forced Cohabitation is one of my favorite drama tropes; As well
as complete opposites. I think that both Xiang Qin and Zhi Shu are about to
have their worlds turned upside down. First off, Xiang Qin is an only child, so
she has never experienced living with other children. It probably won’t be too
big of a deal just because they are not her siblings but it will be a change
none the less. Also, having a mother figure in her life now; someone to teach
her things that a woman should know in her culture. Mama Jiang seems as though
she is going to become a person that Xiang Qin can be excited about things
together with. Just as an educated guess, but I think that Mama Jiang was a fan
girl in her day. Once a fan girl, always a fan girl. Then there is Zhi Shu; I
think that will either be a lot more smirking or that smirk will be wiped off
his face (Or maybe a little of both). I do know that Xiang Qin living with him
is going to bring out personality traits that he didn’t know that he had. When
you begin living with another person, you find out new things about yourself. I’m
sure that his patience is going to be tried and push to the limit with Xiang
Qin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then there is A-Jin. Oh A-Jin, it sucks to be the second
lead. He loves Xiang Qin as much as a silly teenage boy can. He is completely blinded
by that love too. Xiang Qin isn’t even remotely interested in him in any other
way other than as a friend. Over all I feel like this was a good first episode.
The only thing that I might have changed was the end of the episode. I would
have ended with Zhi Shu’s smirk while helping Xiang Qin unload the truck. I can’t
wait for the high jinx to follow.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

usually watch Romantic Comedies. I am not a big fan of melodramas. I like my
happy endings and I want it to be happy most of the way through. I enjoy the
escape from reality that watching dramas gives me and I want that time away to
be happy and fun. I also really enjoy the musical dramas. Since my love of
music is what started my whole journey of drama watching, it would make since
that I enjoy these as well. Also, High school dramas are a favorite as well. As
the wonderful Javabeans and Girlfriday over at <a href="http://www.dramabeans.com/2013/08/dramabeans-podcast-17-part-2/">Dramabeans</a> stated in a recent
podcast, High School dramas are something that everyone can relate to; The Joy
and the Hell that is High school. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Relationship Contracts, two characters are forced into a relationship for one
reason or another. The best, part to me, is that even though they say “We won’t
actually fall for each other”, they always do. Then there is the awkward time
period where they like each other but haven’t told the other one since it is a
breach of contract. So much cute! My favorite show with this trope is: Mary
Stayed Out All Night.</span></div>

Cohabitation comes with the relationship contract territory. It can also arise
out of the need to protect someone. Sometimes the characters don’t even like
each other. Any way this may come into play the characters quickly find out
each other’s true selves. My favorite shows with this trope are: Faith, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px;">City Hunter</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">, and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px;">Personal Taste</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">.</span></div>

Romances… love this since the women are usually in charge (or at least act like
it). It seems to me that the guys always start out as the cutest puppies who
then have to turn into men to take care of and provide for their women. My

attracting can be one of the most fun tropes to watch. All the differences can
cause tons of bickering or just bring out new traits that they </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px;">didn't</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> know they
had.

<span style="color: #342822; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been very distracted by the new Kim Hyun Joong music video... it makes it very hard to be productive. I have a link after the jump!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 18.75pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Do you watch Asian Dramas for the actors/actresses, for the story lines, or both?</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 18.75pt;">
<span style="color: #342822;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">Both. I
started watching Asian Dramas by seeing a picture of the hottie Lee Min Ho. I
started exploring the world of Asian Dramas by searching for all the dramas
that Lee Min Ho was in and from there I branched out to other dramas that
actors I liked were in. After I went through quite a few dramas that way, I
started looking for types of dramas and </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">story lines</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> that I liked. Now when I am deciding
whether or not to watch a drama, I look who is starring and what the story line
is to help me decide if it is something that I want to devote at least two work
days-worth of time for watching it. Unless of course it is a Lee Min Ho drama…
then I will watch it no matter what!</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #342822; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm super excited about today's question! I had to think a lot about this one... too many possible answers!</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><b><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What is you favorite Asian Drama OST?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #342822; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Now this is a really hard one for me. Since I love music, it is a huge part of my viewing enjoyment of my dramas. So instead of my favorite drama OST, I am going to do the OST’s I have been listening to the most recently.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #342822; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">For starters, the OST from Gu Family Book. I am in LOVE with the song “Love is Blowing” by Lee Ji Young and “Don’t Forget Me” by Suzy of Miss A. Also the Love Rain OST is in my top listened to list. As well as the Mary Stayed Out All Night, You’re Beautiful, Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter OST’s. And of course there is the Faith OST and the song that started it all “Carry On” by Ali. See the videos below for my favorite songs from these OST’s.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This drama may bump a
drama out of my Top 3 favorite Dramas. Please let this drama end well. It has
pushed all the right buttons for me. I love all the musical numbers and the
students seem like typical teenagers. Well, there is the idol boy, so not all
of them are typical, but I like that even if he is famous and “A Star” he still
is like every other teenage boy out there, insecurities and all. The bullies
make me a little crazy though. I think the actors are doing a great job of
playing the part of the bullies and kudos for them. My only problem is that…
well bullies in general make me crazy! *side rant* There is no reason for
anyone to be that mean and cruel to someone else.*end side rant* All around, I
love this show and I’m not sure what I am going to do with myself when it is
over.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I really enjoyed
Playful Kiss (I know not the best drama ever). I think that this story is cute.
So when I saw that Mischievous Kiss was going to be remade, I hopped right on
the bandwagon. Yes this drama has been a bit slow the last few episodes and I
wish there were just a bit more to them. That being said, it has still held my
attention the whole series. I think Kotoko is flipping cute. I love all her
crazy faces (See below). Naoki, well sometimes I want to kick him. Boys, I tell
ya. Kin, I didn’t like him very much to start out with but he has grown on my.
That poor boy, I am not looking forward to the heartbreak coming his way. And
the girl Naoki is playing around with right now, I hope that she finds someone
who will love her just as much as she loves them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

glowing reviews and well Lee Jong-Seok is just the cutest thing since those
training chopsticks. I wasn’t too sure if I would like the drama since the
concept didn’t really jump out at me. I am so glad that I gave it a chance
after reading the dramabean recaps. It isn’t as weird to me now that Su-Ha is
out of high school. He is an adult, a young adult, but still an adult. Can
anyone explain how the boy can look like a kicked puppy in the rain one minute

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have seen this
drama at least 4 times through. I am re-watching it with my dongsaeng (it is
her first time). The first time I watched it I almost gave it up in the first
20 minutes. It just didn’t grab my attention. Boy, oh boy am I glad that I came
back and tried again. This show is defiantly one of my favorites. There is just
too much amazing stuff to say in this post. I will put this show on my to-do
list for review and possibly recaps.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

started watching Asian Dramas in September 2012. The first drama I watched was
Faith (aka The Great Doctor </span><span style="color: #342822; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px;">(신의)</span><span style="color: #342822; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">).

watching the Top 50 K-pop Billboards on Youtube and heard the song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5TXE1DSf8M">“Carry On”by Ali</a>. After a few weeks hearing the song and loving it, I did a little bit of
research thinking that it might be from a movie. Wrong! That is how I found
Faith and when Asian Dramas drafted me into their Army of Obsessed Ones (The
Korean Drama Unit). After Faith ended, I
found myself going through a small (laugh small) withdrawal from Lee Min Ho and
his pretty. I found Boys over Flowers; Again I was hooked. This was also about
the time that I decided that I wanted to learn Korean as I had been listening
to the music for a couple years not understanding what I was listening to.
Also, my husband and I have always talked about adopting from Korea. Learning
Korean became my excuse for my obsession of Korean Dramas. It was “study” time
and still is. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am very excited to begin this new adventure. Just a little
bit of background. I have always loved to write. As a teenager I wrote
*fan fiction*(I know… crazy fan girl…). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now as an adult, I would like to try my hand
at non-fiction and reviews/recaps. I have a love for Asian Culture and would
love to be able to express my thoughts and feelings from the perspective of an
everyday American woman. As of now, I am very interested in recapping a drama
or two that may not have been recapped elsewhere. I’m not completely sure what show
I will recap first. I have a few ideas on some starter posts and I hope to have
those up in the next few days. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, where did the name Drama Bubbles come from? Well, I was
trying to think of a catchy name for my blog and was writing my ideas down. My
imagination took over for a little bit and I imagined my ideas in thought
bubbles. *Ding* Drama Bubbles! My thought bubbles on all things Asian! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope for anyone who decides to come with me on my new
adventure that you enjoy yourself as much as I hope I will. Take a deep breath…
Let’s begin the adventure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
