I know who you are but I really don’t know you

Watching their activities feels misleading in the way that you think you know these people and have indeed ‘experienced’ all those things (they physically, viewers vicariously).

Oh, if I can’t stop myself from watching the adventures of my convenient friends (you can ‘unfriend’ them anytime because you never were real friends with them), at least I shall limit the dosage. Fellow addicts of Japanese/Korean/Mandarin idol variety shows would understand my ramblings.

Fly Me to the Moon - cutscene from You’re Beautiful (미남이시네요) by Jang Geun-Suk (as Hwang Tae Kyung) and Park Shin-Hye (as Koo Mi Nam/Nyeo)

LE sigh. Watching all these Asian idol dramas make me question fiction and reality in a sigh-that-is-such-a-lie-but-it-would-be-nice-if-it-really-happens-to-me way. Fairy tales have become so much more varied nowadays.

“오빠,사랑해요”

The most important Korean phrase I need to know, according to my Korean friend.

GLOW
We're discussing pretty Korean actresses because my friend mentioned Kim Hee Seon (or someone who has a similar name).
.
me: I think Lee Young Ae is very pretty!
korean friend#1, E: She..she *lost for words to describe* I think she must've a permanent halo machine at the back of her head, just illuminating everything around her. Really.
korean friend#2, H: In fact, yes! I think all the stars do, even the extras who you think look so-so on tv...when you see them in real life, they're really beautiful! It's unbelievable. One day, I was quite pissed getting stuck in traffic, and was mindlessly scanning the road.
me: uh-huh.
H: Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a telephone box that's seemingly 'glowing'. Turns out, Jang Dong Gun was filming a scene there. Me and my friends were searching for nearby spotlights...but there were absolutely none! It's crazy. He doesn't look human, more like a sculpture!
E: They all glow. I think that's why they're stars.
.
In another conversation.
.
sis: That's it, Tackey glows even on paper.
me: It's weird, Tackey glows, but not Ryo (although in real life, I'm sure both of them do)
sis: a person who wears lots of black won't glow as much as those who loves gold. u noe, u noe.
me: oh. yah. hahahah.
.
sis: from now on. must think. goal: to glow!
me: must use bb cream. (we cannot use biotherm, which Kaneshiro Takeshi uses, because, well, we simply don't have his base. That much everyone must admit. - sis)
.
This, on top of the 'tackey personality' (since he's a very obvious example) we must nurture too, of course.
