I think LJ went away for a while.  I likely would have been annoyed if I weren't reading about princesses setting off to find heroes who up and went missing while on their quests.

Oh  and learning that Chae Si Ra (my beloved Lady Jami from Emperor of the Sea) is the lead in a new sageuk, Empress Chun Chu:



Also, pictures if you're at soompi.

Technically, sitting through it isn't much different from 3-3 1/2 seasons of a US TV show, only with subtitles and higher production values.

Unfortunately it's the subtitles bit... I prefer to multi-task while watching TV for more than 1 episode at a time. I think I annoyed a lot of Lina's anime friends by sticking to dubs over subs whenever possible :P (I once endured a two hour lecture on that very subject because I mentioned my preference in passing -- it was kind of impressive, actually)

I tend to have that problem with subtitles myself, which is why I tend to either binge straight through dramas or watch them slowly. With sageuks, though, the visuals tend to be so engaging that I almost forget that it has my undivided attention and that i'm reading subtitles.

I think I'm glad I've never known enough anime fans in RL to get lectured over initially preferring dubs and eventually getting to where I just watch whatever the DVD defaults to, unless I have a specific reason. (Like how Gunlock would rot my brain if it had my full attention.)
