    Watched '71: Into the Fire' earlier and it was a fantastic film. Really easy to get into and you'll soon be over the whole OMG TOP!!11!!! thing shortly.

    Here's a full English subbed version if anybody wishes to watch it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGfOK5ZHnP4
    I adore that movie. It was very, very hard to sit through it without bawling.
    And yeah, though TOP is an attraction, he hardly speaks for like the first twenty minutes or so as I can remember?

    I really enjoyed The Host. It's a bit 'quirky' but was very successful.

    Ah I watched The Host early, the monster seemed a bit Doctor Who but I suppose the film was alright overall

    I was so pissed off about EXO-K and 4minute. I had absolutely no idea it was even happening until Allkpop posted an article about a couple of 4minute members leaving for London. They're not really within my top favourite groups but I would have loved to see them all the same.

    I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was too much like a corny B-movie when I was watching it. It was a good watch, but it just felt kinda... cheap. Like an episode of Doctor Who as you said.

    I mainly listen to KPop (MBLAQ, SHINee, U-KISS, SS501, SuJu, 4minute, etc, etc, etc...) and I've been listening to kpop for almost two years now~ how time flies haha!
    I've been listening to Japanese music the longest though, but I listen to Kyary, Miyavi, SuG, Perfume, Kylee, Dir en grey, Gackt, Alice Nine, Girugamesh, l'arc en ciel and the GazettE~
    I only really listen to Danson Tang and Super Junior-M with CPop

    Who's on tumblr and what are your urls? ^^ Mine's ukisssheli and mblaq-gifs!
    Also, sexy, free and single I'm ready to bingo~!!! lmao xD

    Baby and I, Little Black Dress, Attack on The Pin-Up Boys, 100 Days With Mr Arrogant, Lady Daddy, The Suicide Forecast, Beautiful (this one's a really strange and sad movie), Ba:Bo, Hello Schoolgirl, My Sassy Girl, The Naked Kitchen, Kidnapping Granny K, Mr. Idol... Ummm, most of these I've seen but all the ones after Beautiful are on my list to watch next!

    If you're learning Korean then you can always watch English/American movies with Korean dubs, like Harry Potter, Gnomeo and Juliet, etc!

    Best Korean films for me will always be 'My Sassy Girl,' 'Holy Daddy,' and 'The Man from Nowhere.'

    Holy daddy might be easier to find if you search '원탁의 천사' literally meaning Wontak's Angel.

    It stars SHINHWA's Minwoo as Wontak
    And also has the comedian HaHa playing the dad ^^
    I could relate to that film a fair bit and I actually teared up... and im a guy!

    'My Sassy Girl' came up a lot on peoples' lists of Korean films on IMDB so I'll definitely check it out.

    Watched 'My Sassy Girl' last night and it was very good! Koreans always seem to create the ending that fits perfectly! Going to watch Sunny tonight

    I've promised myself to stay clear of the American version of it as I've heard terrible things about it!
