Ikemen or something like it

[mousapelli]

[paraphrase of a much longer conversation in which I fail]

me: have I lost my mind or does Tama for real look nothing like himself in this drama?
me: *sends screencap of Ikemen desu ne ad*
shimizumiki: that can't be tama
me: I swear to god it is. [because he's the mean lead singer right?] I feel like a moron because I don't recognize him at all.
me: *sends another cap*
smz: ...is that a clip from the original Korean version?
me: ...............is it? fuck, you know I can't tell faces AT ALL
smz: well it says "Chan Gensuk" at the bottom so
me: *now thoroughly embarrassed* i didn't read anything, I was concentrating on how I couldn't recognize anybody. Also I can never understand those stupid announcer ladies.

in conclusion, Japanese television conquers me yet again. Could we please stop trying to get me to tell Koreans apart from each other or anybody else? Because blatantly I cannot do it. Switching back and forth in the middle of this promo interview is seriously just cruel. It's like when Wolfie tried to test me on members of Arashi by sending me links to pictures of NEWS.

i think you should use your icon of yamapi that you thought was jin forever just to prove your point. again.

YOU MEAN THIS ONE?

YOU NEVER ASKED ME ABOUT IT OKAY

some days i'm amazed you can tell tvxq apart. then again, they are easier than tegomass. :D

it took like six months of me trying really hard to learn them. even now when they change their hair too much I still get confused if somebody has hair i associate too much with somebody else.

SHINee is still not 100%, I can really only do Taemin and Minho 100% of the time. I usually get Leader right if I pick the one who I think is cutest/most in need of a strong noona.

changmin and yunho. those two complicated my early fandom life so damn much. i finally just started looking for who was pawing jae vs who was trying to beat him up.

shinee (with two ee's, even) was stupidly difficult, but at least in video clips jjong is always singning something?

You'd be able to tell them apart if you'd just watch kdramas, you know!

you understand i still really think your icon is of jin, right?

also, the only one i've watched has him as the main character also, and i totally did not recognize him at all, as you can see from my conversation above.

If no one told me that was Tama, I seriously wouldn't have known...
He looks so different with his hair like that...
I'm so used to his bangs being all up in his face!
