I'll have to chat with you later, for what you have said here is too hard to discuss with a few simple words. Who said HWRL is an easy topic. Above all, I am with you.HeippieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057634860791369971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1154069897385615392006-07-28T02:58:00.000-04:002006-07-28T02:58:00.000-04:00Dear Jaime,I made another attempt to get on soompi...Dear Jaime,<BR/><BR/>I made another attempt to get on soompi and search for BYJ thread and failed. I don't know how to proceed. To write the next installment as you gals called, I watched the HWRL a bit here and there again, and inevitably, cried again. Don't worry about the puffy eyes, my eyes are already torn for countless sleepless nights. A bit of crying here or there won't do more damage. But thank you for your caring heart, and thank you for making me laugh again, you are so talented at making people happy. I wish I saved all your old writings so that I can enjoy it from time to time. Especially after reading, writing, watching, crying for Jaeho and Shin-Yeung.HeippieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057634860791369971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153713046186321212006-07-23T23:50:00.000-04:002006-07-23T23:50:00.000-04:00HeippieH,I will wait for the HWRL installments. ha...HeippieH,<BR/><BR/>I will wait for the HWRL installments. ha! I know that the best things come with patience. So, don't worry about time..just let me know k...either in our "mother pad" bb's blog or at soompi..I'll come by to check once in a while too. <BR/><BR/>Hmm..I have sort of kept HWRL away for now. I don't know why I was saddened by his death and then I needed to keep his story away. But, I thought about Jaeho once in a while. What symptom is this huh? he is not even real. Sigh..what's with me now? Perhaps by reading about Jaeho can help me collect my thoughts about him. Piece by piece...<BR/><BR/>I truly enjoyed learning about Koreans in this series. Although I do not want to generalize all Koreans to one single series but the show did provide a good glimpse into their lifestyle and values. Although Yong Joon says all Asians share very similar roots (which is true) but to some extent we are different in many ways too. I was quite taken by some actions, some cultural connotations in the series that sometimes amazed me, or puzzled me. <BR/><BR/>Love. Have we really loved? To love like Jae ho is too painful. To love like shinhyung is just as painful. Must we walk down to the end of this path to find out about love in such painful way? I hope that nobody in this world loves this deeply and painfully. However, would you want to love this deeply once in your lifetime, however long or short it may be? Will you be contented and say that I lived and I loved? The end? <BR/><BR/>Jaeho's stuggle in life was so burdensome for me to watch. In fact, the scenes towards the end when he was dying was "easier" (just somewhat) to watch relative to when he was healthy and struggling with unfairness in life. How many times does he need to be taken down and then stand up again in the face of these life challenges? I couldn't watch him...it was much too disturbing that one has to be be this strong just to survive. And just when he survived it all, he took all of the blows in..he was bruised and tired , then life gives him another blow and this time a fatal one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153593587571588772006-07-22T14:39:00.000-04:002006-07-22T14:39:00.000-04:00Dear bb, when I read your comments, my eyes welled...Dear bb, when I read your comments, my eyes welled up with tears again. I am very touched by those two sections as well, as long as many other scences. When Shin-Hyung tried to avoid Jaeho as she was trying to avoid the fact that she knows he is leaving her and the world, Jaeho said to her "let's treasure everyday this very day, at least we can still hear each other, touch each other, and love each other". And when new life came into the world, Jaeho's sisters son, he hold him in his arms, yes, his smile was so moving and beautiful. That was my favorite scence too. Another one I had deep impression was, when Jaeho was going to marry Shin-Hyung, one night at home, he hold her in his arms and said, "I love you. If I knew "love" is such a treasuarable word, I would not have said it so many times before. Now I look back, I had used this work so lightly before. Thank you."HeippieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057634860791369971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153576213229892722006-07-22T09:50:00.000-04:002006-07-22T09:50:00.000-04:00Dear h, yeah you're right, there is no direct acce...Dear h, <BR/><BR/>yeah you're right, there is no direct access to BYJ thread (or is there liezle/frances?). In the K-dramas forum, I have to search for BYJ thread, usually it's on the first 2 pages cause liezle and frances always keep it updated. Personally, I prefer an alphabetical system, at least I know which page to go to. Once I find the BYJ thread, I usually go to the last page for the news. The first 2 pages are links and list compiled by liezle and frances to all the great vods, readings and news. They are great intro to BYJ! I am guilty that I haven't read anything between page 3 to page 300 yet, I'm sure there're tons of good fun readings too.<BR/><BR/>liezle told me that last 2 days of data has been lost in SOOMPI, so I don't know if the HWRL discussions were still around.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for your next instalment of HWRL. In the meantime, don't cry too much, k?<BR/>(eventhough you said you "enjoyed" it, we don't want h to have red puffy eyes!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153566801679831572006-07-22T07:13:00.000-04:002006-07-22T07:13:00.000-04:00Hey Jaime, long time no talk.

I have tried a few times getting on Soompi, and after going through some searching found the BYJ thread, but there seems to be no easy way to sigh in directly to this thread? Or there is one but I am not aware of? And when I got in, I don't see discussions, only see logs of listings of VODs and songs and links. I wasn't sure if that was a discussion board or just information board. Thanks for letting me know the discussion about HWRL there. I'll go check.HeippieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057634860791369971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153566379292361112006-07-22T07:06:00.000-04:002006-07-22T07:06:00.000-04:00Hi Mrs.A., it won't be an easy ride watching it. P...Hi Mrs.A., it won't be an easy ride watching it. Prepare tissue papers. It will be painful watching it. But while the main theme is heavy, the scriptwriter skillfully mixed in with humor through other charaters. So sometimes you'll find yourself burst into laughs while you were just crying for a sad scence. I found I "appreciate" the drama more than "enjoy" it, so to speak.HeippieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057634860791369971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153565781542740112006-07-22T06:56:00.000-04:002006-07-22T06:56:00.000-04:00Hi ginnie, nice to see you here!

How about a hug. :-) Yes, thanks for your encouragement, I am going to go on rambling about HWRL, there is a lot to say and hopefully I can manage to get it out as nice as some other fans, but if I can't, I'll just refer to theirs, there are so many discussions about HWRL on the bae-net. I love them all, and I don't think I have read enough, but I feel I need to speak my own feelings as well, and this is the best place to do it. Do come and check for my progress, maybe in 3-4 days interval or by week. I am slow.<BR/><BR/>When I think about HWRL, I hear "Jaeho yah" in my heart, it is Shin-Hyung's voice, so soft and gentle. I love Shin-Hyung. I want to blog about her.HeippieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057634860791369971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153464020628743922006-07-21T02:40:00.000-04:002006-07-21T02:40:00.000-04:00yea, i do love jaeho so much.it was so difficult t...yea, i do love jaeho so much.<BR/><BR/>it was so difficult to watch him when he was sick, getting more frail by the day... and i remember that particular part where shin hyung had trouble accepting his sickness and would stay away, and when he found out she didn't go for that tuition session and how he sat her down to talk to her at home... i think i couldn't have been sadder. it was like my heart was in my throat and i felt so pained to see him like that.<BR/><BR/>and another scene... at the hospital when he was holding his sister's baby.... that smile on his face was truly beautiful.<BR/><BR/>think i've never loved a character so much. hats off to the scriptwriter.<BR/><BR/>and H, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and thanks for sharing my ramblings too :)bbmaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473549423120731444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153462865180925282006-07-21T02:21:00.000-04:002006-07-21T02:21:00.000-04:00Dear "serious" h, I guess you REALLY mean business...Dear "serious" h, <BR/><BR/>I guess you REALLY mean business when you said you LOVE HWRL!<BR/><BR/>You're right, HWRL is a very powerful drama and the character Jaeho leaves the viewers a deep impression. Personally, it's too painful for me because I can't believe there are so many one after another unfortunate events happened on one person. He really never had a single breathing moment of happiness!<BR/><BR/>Aside from that, Yong Joon's acting is so believable that it draws the deepest emotions out from us. When he was in pain, we are in pain too. <BR/><BR/>h, do you surf SOOMPI? There's a lot of discussions on HWRL recently among ginnie, liezle, frances and other sisters. There's a post in particular (#7269) on an article from WJS forum discussing the title HWRL, I quote "if we love our life, don't give up on it, regardless of how difficult or hard our life might be". <BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this, I always enjoy your insight into things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28242009.post-1153446742696433972006-07-20T21:52:00.000-04:002006-07-20T21:52:00.000-04:00Okay, I am ordering it this weekend.
