Four more days till TK:EM and our launch party!
Here’s the map of our two islands created by our @Phoenix. Isn’t it ingenious?
I love my Rant Road on Cynical Island. You’ll be sure to see me there pacing every night before heading to the Bitter Regrets Bar. lol.
As usual, you may bring a date or two or as many as you want. You may choose to bring one of Lee MinHo’s characters from a past drama. There’s several to choose from.
Goo Joon Pyo from “Boys over Flowers”
Jeon Jin Ho from “Personal Taste”
Lee Yoon Sung from “City Hunter”
General Choi Yeong from “Faith”
Kim Tan from “The Heirs”
Heo Joon Jae from “Legend of the Blue Sea”
Lee Gon from “The King: Eternal Monarch”
Or you can bring Woo Do Hwan.
Here’s a tentative list of activities for the day:
8 am. Surfing lessons taught by Lee MinHo/Kim Tan and Woo Do Hwan at Shirtless Bay
11 am. Lunch with Chef Lee MinHo/Go Joon Pyo at the Blue Pavilion, Forest of the Lurking Fan-Ahjummas
2 pm. Zip-lining adventure with your special date at the Forest of Sarcasm
(You get a free heckle, courtesy of packmule3, at the end of the line.)
4 pm. Lazy boat ride around the islands with Lee MinHo/General Choi. Meeting place: Eye Candy Bay
6 pm. Luau with special guest, Lee Min Ho/Lee Gon and Woo Do Hwan at the Eternal Monarch Bridge
8 pm. Fireworks at the Bay of Bitchiness
(Free doomsday palm-reading from packmule3 while waiting for the fireworks to begin.)
9 pm. Massage under the stars with Lee MinHo/Jeon Jin Ho and Woo Do Hwan at His Hotness Bay. By appointment only
A pink force field will enclose the islands, so viruses won’t infect the islanders. But as a safety precaution, anti-Coronavirus magic pill will be distributed at the ports of entry to allow islanders to interact for 16 weeks without fear of catching the disease.
If you have any questions, please contact @Phoenix or @agdr03.
Here’s the latest Netflix Trailer, in case you missed it. Thanks, @Table122000
OMG!!! What a fabulous map! 😍 I’m so looking forward to spending time in His Hotness Bay/Eye Candy Bay with WDH and having some downtime at Bitter Regrets Bar! 😂
Thanks for this @pm3 and @Phoenix! 👏🏻
Can’t believe it’s almost here. That went quick. 😄
😂 Aloha. What a packed schedule! Looking forward to it. With all these lock down restrictions I am dying for a holiday where COVID isn’t hanging around like a party pooper that he is. I can hear him now…SMACK – how dare you come here with no mask on. Shame on you for not keeping to the social distancing guidelines. $1000 fine for leaving your place of residence without a valid excuse. I might well scale Manly peaks just because. Sources tell me the view up there takes your breath away. 😍😆.
Aw, shucks, it looks like the schedule is too packed for horseback riding lessons from Lee Min Ho/Go Joon Pyo/Lee Gon. I suppose it’s asking too much, because we’d not only need time for the lessons themselves, but time to shower afterwards. Hmmm, fan service shower scene…are you sure you can’t rearrange the schedule?
Thank you, @packmule3 and @Phoenix. I am waiting for my first introduction to Lee Min Ho. I’m not sure if I can cope with bringing a date as well. If I get anywhere near him I shall probably be acting like Dr Jang when I would rather have a Yoon Se-ri vibe.
“If I get anywhere near him I shall probably be acting like Dr Jang when I would rather have a Yoon Se-ri vibe.”
🤣🤣🤣
I am still undecided on whether to watch this. Not my usual drama choice. Can I just join for the launch party and virtual galore? 🤭
@miracle23, I’m conflicted, too, as I’m not so much a fantasy/sci-fi fan. I will watch the 1st episode to see what the fuss is about. Aterwards I’ll join the others either for a celebratory dip under the waterfall, or drown my sorrows at the Bitter Regrets Bar.
@Fern, after Boys Over Flower I am glad I am still immuned to the ML. Then I went over Faith for Kim Hee Seon and still can’t believe how can I endure those hours 😅 I basically skipped over not only LMH’s works but many others. I am very picky with my drama choice. I am satisfied with the little numbers that I pickep up 😁
Of all KES’s dramas, I only watched one i.e Mr. Sunshine for LBH and YYS. The story, the cinematography and the acting prowess made it a worthy drama choice🤭🤭
Anyway, will be seeing you at the cynical island 😉.
I am already perched at Manly Peaks overlooking Shirtless Bay. My launch party dates are Lee Yoon Sung and Woo Do Hwan. Looking forward to massage under the stars in a virus-free environment.
Just join us, Fern and miracle23, for the fun. I don’t know if this drama will be any good but I’ll try it out.
I’m with @phoenix and @Table122000. If this story turns out to be makjang, I’m out of here. 👋🏻
I watched “Faith” too. I remember noticing that he was unlike other kdrama heroes. He was swarthy while the typical heroes were on the pale side, kinda like Yoo Yeon Seok/Andrea.
I hope this drama is a good one so I don’t have to drop it stone-cold like “Vagabond.” 🙂
Shower scene??? How about a shower scene by the waterfalls? I think the waterfalls were designed to be in the Shallow Island because the ladies like to ogle at muscles torsos. lol. The falls were aptly located at “Manly Peaks” and the water cascades into “Liquid Lust Lake.”
Yes, we can schedule horseback riding lessons. That’s a brilliant idea. 🙂 People who don’t want to zipline can do horseback riding lessons. It achieves the same thing anyway: to back hug your date. 🙂
In Faith, I came for Kim Hee Seon but I stayed for the king and his Mongolian queen.🙂
“I hope this drama is a good one so I don’t have to drop it stone-cold like “Vagabond.” 🙂”
Oh, I dropped Vagabond too! Poor Seung-gi. 🤣🤣 Its action flicks are just not up to my standard and I am very peculiar with that kekekeke… Since I survived through Mr. Sunshine slow-mo story telling with the help of my best buddy, Mr. Ffwd. I guess he will come in handy with this new venture 🤭🤭🤭
Hello, everyone! 🙂 So happy you found the map helpful and are ready to join our party! The islands are close by; so we can hop from one to the other, depending on how the drama swings.
@packmule3 Thank you for posting the map 🙂 I love the packed schedule of our party! As I’m in the organizing committee along with you and @agdr03, I will play a gracious hostess and hang around all the venues, making everyone feel comfortable (including our eye candies) 😛
“How about a shower scene by the waterfalls? I think the waterfalls were designed to be in the Shallow Island because the ladies like to ogle at muscles torsos. lol. The falls were aptly located at “Manly Peaks” and the water cascades into “Liquid Lust Lake.”
Absolutely, @packmule3! That’s exactly why I had that waterfall in the map, keeping in mind our earlier discussions on viewing manly pectorals of LMH/WDH under the waterfall. The party invitees can actually lurk in that ‘Forest of Lurking Fan-Ahjummas’ and watch them bathe, and then take a dip in the ‘Liquid Lust Lake’ to cool down 😛
I remembered @nrllee saying that all self-respecting islands have waterfalls hidden in the hills. So how could our Shallow Island not have one?
Looks like @Snow Flower is already on ‘Manly Peaks’overlooking ‘Shirtless Bay’ 🙂
Also, I want to take tips from @Fern on swimming in waterfalls that was done in misspent youth (I think it was well-spent though, @Fern 😛 ).
“Yes, we can schedule horseback riding lessons. That’s a brilliant idea. 🙂”
@packmule3: I agree. His Highness (May his name endure forever) can give our guests horse riding lessons. Let’s have some suspiciously white horses roaming around in the Forest of Lurking Fan-ahjummas and Forest of Sarcasm, which can be used for the lessons.
This party is looking so hot and happening!!!!
Wow! That map is great @Phoenix!
I’ll look forward to seeing everyone at the Launch party on Friday.
Gorgeous map @Phoenix! Even if I hadn’t planned to visit the islands before (which I had), I most certainly do want to do so now!!! I can see myself holed up at the junction of Rant Road and Eternal Monarch Bridge, ready to leap out and cross over at the slightest provocation. Most of the time, I’ll be at Bitter Regrets Bar, drinking my cabin fever away, but with one eye out for the action going on outside.
See you gals and guys!
Bring a date. I’m bringing Worf the Klingon from Star Trek.
If there’s any guy who can out-man Lee Gon/General Choi/City Hunter in hand to hand combat, it would be Worf. hahaha.
@packmule, good choice of date. I’ll bring Korg from Thor Ragnarok, or his voice actor/director. Should be lively.
Wow! I had to google who he was. How big is he?! He’s giving me a “Thumbelina” complex. lol.
I don’t know why we’re always having fun with these ridiculous ideas. I wonder who @agdr03 will bring.
I don’t know how big Taika Waititi is actually. Not THAT big, so it must be CGI. 🤣
Can I bring Gu Dong Mae so that he can slay someone in half whenever I am having cringe attacks?🤭🤭
Ha! I was thinking about Gu Dong Mae too! Or the Purple Assassin from Chuno. (I figured these guys could use some fun…)
“Ha! I was thinking about Gu Dong Mae too! Or the Purple Assassin from Chuno. (I figured these guys could use some fun…)”
Let’s bring them both! 😁😁😁
@miracle23, vertical or horizontal?
I was on Shallow Island a bit ago, reconnoitering where I will park myself on Friday, when I saw strange man. He seemed overdressed for the island, wearing a long coat, although I must admit it swung appealingly as he strode along. I also noticed his tie tack looked like an ancient sword. He looked like he was looking for something or someone, so I stopped him to ask if he needed help. Turns out he was looking for his bride. Said he’d heard she would soon be in the vicinity. He looked so sad, and after he left rain poured down, almost as if matching his mood. He seemed to me… otherworldly? Devilish? No, that’s not it…
I don’t know why we’re always having fun with these ridiculous ideas. I wonder who @agdr03 will bring.
Initially I wasn’t going to bring a date because I wanted to just enjoy the views from Shallow Island but because you’re bringing Worf and @Fern is bringing Korg (love him) then I’ll bring Yoda. He can always remind me to not go overboard with the dark side in seeing everything from the outside. 😂
Oh, a conversation between Yoda and Worf is going to be interesting! Will it distract us from all the eye candy lounging around?😀
Yoda?? Who’s bringing Yoda??
Oh, I see. @agdr03. lol.
Lol. Same here.
I thought we were going to have something like a “Love Island” going on but it seems like we’re having a killing field instead with all these He-Man warrior/fighter types.
Poor Lee Min Ho/Lee Gon. I hope his white horse doesn’t get spooked by Worf and Korg.
Oh He-Man! 🥰
Hopefully Lee Gon’s white horse won’t get spooked but if ever, I’ll get Yoda to calm him down. 😉😄
This party is looking more interesting day by day🎉🎉
I’m going to love ogling all these dates (plus LMH and WDH). I’m not going to bring anyone along because I don’t want to get distracted from my lurking around bushes to spot manly chests🔭🔭🧐🧐
@agdr03 Oooh I love Yoda! Can I borrow him for a while to have a free session with him on gathering peals of knowledge that he dispenses? I keep randomly quoting his sayings like: “Do or do not. There is no try” 💪💪 Love your choice of date🙌😍
Of course @Phoenix! 😉
Yes don’t we love Yoda? He’ll be the one to pull me back from the shallowness of it all. 😂
What about ‘close your mouth and open your ears, you must. Then hear what you’re true heart is seeking, you will’. ☺️
@agdr03 Yes I love that one too🙌 All of his sayings are so simple yet so profound! You got that right – if all that eye candy ogling makes me feel too shallow, I will go to Yoda yo pull me back from the dark..I mean shallow side 😛😛
“@miracle23, vertical or horizontal?”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Welmaris, whatever he wishes it would be, que sera sera…🤭🤭🤭
Hmm…for some strange reason, this abomination has stuck in my mind thanks to @welmaris.
“Jabba the Hutt spawn with skin like Easter eggs in a Santa hat”. But eww… that would not do as my date. I must bring someone swoon worthy and a little bit dangerous. Howz about Mo TaeGoo? Nothing like a somewhat unhinged serial killer amongst the islanders to spice things up a bit. I will try to keep him on a tight leash. No promises though. 😂
This will turn into a blood bath as soon as someone feels insulted or challenged.
“This will turn into a blood bath as soon as someone feels insulted or challenged.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
High five! 🙌🏻 We will allow Master Yoda to save us from too much shallow side. 🤪
Some pics from the press conference. Gotta love WDH’s pic and the one where he’s looking up at LMH 😍😄

Thanks agdr03. Will re-post this later.
@agdr03, I think Korg and Yoda will get along. He’ll get along with everyone. He’s fine with everything except paper and this is a paperless forum.
😂🍾🍸🍸🥂🚤🌅🎇🎇🎇
@Fern, I’m banning anything paper from the launch party.
We can’t have Korg meet his end. 😂
Haha.
What’s this? Rock Paper Scissors?? 😂
Yup 😂
Is RSVP required? Sign me up! Looking forward on spending my time on the Island.
Okay. I’ll create an open thread for Eps 1 and 2 later. 🙂
I’m late to the party ! No matter, I love it here. 🥰
