Youtube has many of the drama songs (OST) with clips from dramas. Some of these are official ones and others are fan made. However, some of these clips may have spoilers so if you have not watched whole drama then be careful watching these. There are tons for Master's Sun and Lie to Me which I love on youtube as well as many others.
I have way too many youtube playlists! I love that while a lot of the OSTs have fun songs a lot also have a more classical style. I really like the Bad Guy and Queen Seonduk OSTs. Heirs had so many good kpop songs too.

Empire of Gold was very well done, lots of strong acting. I watched it because Lee Yo Won was in it. It was fascinating to watch the family dynamics. I wasn't impressed with Go Soo's performance, but the drama was still very gripping.
Closeacademy, when I watched Queen Seonduk I so wished that it could have covered all of our school subjects! It was so hard to have to stop watching.

Does anyone else have playlists with drama songs, not just rap? ;) Even my kids are getting into it :) I started watching Emergency Couple and it is really good. I'm also watching a currently airing drama, Fall In Love With Me, which I swore I would never do, but it is really good. The last episode airs on Sunday with the translation available Monday. I'm torn between relief at finding out how it ends and not wanting it to end, lol! I hate not being able to choose how much of it I watch.

I just went and set up an account at mydramalist.com. I still need to add shows, but I was wondering if anyone would want to share profiles and "friend" each other? If so, here is a link to my profile

Or you may be able to search my user name "WagsWife."
I'm Linguistmama there too, adding my shows now :)

I will warn you that the first 30 minutes or so of Master's Sun can give one the wrong impression of Master's Sun being a horror show. It is not and I dislike most horror shows. I almost stopped watching it due to the first part but I am thrilled I persisted. There are ghosts in Master's Sun but they are all nice ghosts. The focus of the show is really romance with some action and comedy and mystery thrown in. You also see nice character development in the show.
Real horror scares me to death, but I also had no issue with Master's Sun. :) I saw the ad for Always on dramafever too and am going to check it out.

English Lessons Through Literature :) That would be my pick as well. WWE worked fine, but we like ELTL better. With my 1st grader I just help her choose her copywork from our read aloud and she knows a few basics like beginning with a capital letter and ending with punctuation.

I also felt like a fly on the wall. Your posts describing how you teach writing at this stage really make sense now.I am so glad you felt this way. I tried to encapsulate my teaching methods as an ongoing conversation with my children. If you felt that way, I guess I succeeded!
I actually had a tri-fold objective: 1-obviously teach children solid writing skills, 2-provide parents with background knowledge on topics they might lack knowledge in how to address, and 3-teach a methodology course via teaching children.
How did I do?
ETA: I tried to provide thorough explanations for concepts. Parents should not feel "unqualified" to teach writing and grammar b/c all of the instruction and explanations are incorporated in the book.

We are loving Bushy too! 8, I was rereading some of your posts on writing and just wanted to repeat that I would love to buy future levels of TC. :) The instruction is just so clear that I would love some more for introductions and conclusions, essays etc.

Angel Eyes is a melodrama. The genre is different so the ending doesn't have that satisfactory feel to it. Koreans love tragedy and suffering!
The first drama I watched was Queen Seonduk which was epic in every way. Unfortunately, that included an epically tragic ending! Then I watched Bad Guy. Ooh, I hate those writers. They made me think it was all going to be resolved happily and then they killed the guy in the last 5 minutes. I will never forgive them, lol!

I'm already married to a hot Latin man so the flower boys just make me laugh :) I love Kim Tan's pink fuzzy cardigan in Heirs, lol! I figure they must be really good actors if even I want the girl to fall in love with their character.
Moon, Google tells me that Korean culture is very conservative about what is acceptable affection in public. Is that true?
-
I love her super fast life plan, lol! And I will never forget how to say meat in Korean after that drama. I like the scene where the kids say, "Daddy, buy meat!" over and over.I'm in the middle of 'My Girlfriend is a Nine Tailed Fox' and I like it so far. She cracks me up.
I don't think I've seen Flower Boy Next Door mentioned. It has Park Shin Hye and my favorite way for the couple to meet. I won't give it away, but it is hysterical!
-
Us too. :) I printed out dd's student pages on our laser printer so I wouldn't have to flip back and forth on the ipad and that worked great. I was ok reading the font on an ipad mini, but I don't have any vision issues.

Starting tomorrow, so excited! DD9 wants to continue to read the literature in ELTL, which is excellent, and she will continue to add to her commonplace book.

I hate having to pick a new drama after finishing a really good one! My Love From Another Star is really good. I love the episode where she texts and calls the guy all night after he breaks up with her. The guy is so cerebral and the girl is such a spaz so it makes for hilarious scenes. The Master's Sun was really good too. Hong sister's for the win. :)
-
Oh the track suits too! "This was made in Italy!" I also love that they got married and had cute little kids.

Because of this thread I decided to try one of these shows. I've spent the past few days binge watching Secret Garden. I couldn't stop watching it! Now off to find another one! :D
I love the scene when Oska says "I like me too!" :)

Finished reading through, love it! We did MCT Island last year and part one of TC is review. I'll be showing dd9 TC and discussing doing it as written and dropping ELTL or having me incorporate the TC conversations and style with ELTL and our history and science reading. I liked part 1 a lot, but parts 2 and 3 are going to be so helpful to me. Everything is so spelled out with lots of examples. I love that all of the stories are compiled in the back. That will be very handy when choosing new examples to see where we have been length and complexity wise. OT, I wish Dancing Bears would publish the stories as a separate book so we could reread them without flipping through the rest of the pages.

I was #123, wow! Download went flawlessly. 8, thank you so much!!!!! I was a little worried we would crash something too, lol. Of to read through all of it. :)

I have 3 levels of WWE even though I first bought the hardback volume. It is so helpful for me to see a year's worth of scripted lessons in order to understand the method. Now with dd2 I am making our own copywork since it all makes sense to me now. So much curriculum that I own is teacher training for me. :)

I knew I wouldn't be alone on this board. :)
Now who will have the honor of being the first buyer?!

I had two main writing streams for my upcoming third grader's year. First we are going to use ELTL for narration, copywork and dictation. And I was going to teach paragraph writing by integrating it into our other subjects and notebooking (this part I was just going to wing). Now I'm thinking TC might give me the tools and structure to do a better job of teaching paragraph writing, so that we can integrate it across the subject areas.
My oldest is using ELTL and really likes it. It has inspired her to write all sorts of things whereas before she seemed dormant about expressing herself in writing. I don't want to drop it so I may use TC as more of the how to guide to write for science and history as I want to teach paragraph, report style writing in the content areas anyway. We'll see when I look at TC tomorrow and see how it goes with dd. The page where the purchase buttons will be added is up :)

I can and will use this program with my 9-year old this year (and again with my youngest in a few years), but even if I had no use for it, I'd buy it anyway. I've learned so much from you, 8, over the years that I feel like a $30 'tip' has absolutely been well-earned. Thank you for your years of hard work and the willingness to share your wisdom with the rest of us. I hope my girls possess a bit of your moxie as they mature into adulthood.
This x 1000! I learn so much from your posts and those of other veterans on the board. I doubt I could ever put a book out there with all the attendant issues as a fellow wallflower, but I am sure grateful that you are publishing it. :)

I started listening and I can see why most drama songs don't make the cut, great playlist!
