The Third Wave of this Quiz is now officially closed.
The answers are:
1. This Taiwanese singer/actor has played roles that include a soccer player, a rock star named after a planet, a former idol who's trying to get back into showbiz, and a robot boyfriend. Who is he? -Jiro Wang of Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit. He played, among others, the Nakatsu role in Hanakazori no Kimitachihe, MARS in ToGetHer (which remains one of my favorite T-dramas of all time), Eason in Drama Go Go Go, and the titular character in Absolute Boyfriend.
2. This Japanese TV series was based on a manga about a piano-playing prodigy who forgets everything else when she's all caught up in her music. It created more interest in classical music because of all the classical works played in each episode. What is the ti
tle of this TV series (which also had a two-part movie sequel and a two-episode special)? -Nodame Cantabile, starring Juri Ueno as Megumi "Nodame" Noda and Hiroshi Tamaki as Shinichi Chiaki. I bet if teachers used that drama in Classical Music Appreciation classes, more students would be interested. :D
3. This question should be easy: Whose voice was used for the first Korean vocaloid? -Kim Dahee of GLAM. Yes, the same girl who played Kim Na-na in Monstar.
4. This Korean drama was part fantasy, part historical, as it was based partly on the legend of the first king of the first Korean kingdom and on historical accounts of one of the six Korean rulers who was called "the Great". What is the ti
tle of this drama? (Bonus point if you give the Korean ti
tle as well.) -The Legend of the King's Four Gods, more commonly referred to as just The Legend. Its Korean ti
tle is Taewang Sasingi. It starred Bae Yong-joon as both the creator god Hwanung (according to legend, the father of Dangun, the founder of the first Korean kingdom) and as Prince Damdeok, who became King Gwanggaeto the Great. A young Lee Ji-ah starred in a breakout role as both the queen of the bear tribe who became Dangun's mother, and as the mother/caretaker of King Gwanggaeto's son and heir.
5. What is Korean actor Kim Woo-bin's real name and why isn't he using it instead of a stage name? -Kim Hyun-joong, which always got him confused with SS501's Kim Hyun-joong, who also acts.
Bonus question: This Hallyu star is perhaps best known for starring in a drama which takes place in a house that gives the drama its ti
tle. He has also acted in Hollywood films. His stage name is an English word that is the translation of his Korean nickname. Who is he? -Jung Ji-hoon, better known to the world as Rain, starred in early hit drama Full House with Song Hye-gyo. He was also in the American movies Speed Racer and Ninja Assassin. Ji-hoon's nickname is "Bi" (pronounced "bee") which is the Korean word for "rain", hence his stage name.

Loool Yana :D Well, I don't blame you. I started putting processed cheese in my ramyun after seeing MARS (Jiro Wang) do it in ToGetHer. In fairness, it tastes good, lol. I think I'll try and change the deadline schedule for this quiz so people can have time to answer it on the weekends. :D
Bluerayofsunshine: You're welcome :D

And we have the questions for the Fourth Wave now. I've decided to let it run over the weekend and end in the middle of the week so people can participate during their free time. :D
Fourth Wave (11 pts)
1. This Korean actor had been in the industry for about a decade before he discarded his stage name and began using his real name. Then he got "noticed" and suddenly became leading man material. The role that launched him? A tragic antihero in the sageuk The Great Queen Seon Deok, a character who became a household name so much he also gets mentioned from time to time in other dramas. Who is this actor? (Bonus points if you give his former stage name and the name of the character he played.)(3 pts)
2. K-pop time! This idol from the group behind such songs as "Paradise" and "Destiny" also played roles in the dramas Shut Up Flower Boy Band and Master's Sun. Who is he? (Bonus points if you give his full name and idol group.)(3 pts.)
3. Give the ti
tle of the Rose d'Or-winning drama that starred Miss A's Suzy, T-ara's Eun-jung, 2PM's Taecyeon and Wooyoung, IU, and Kim Soo-hyun. (Bonus point if you tell me what set Soo-hyun apart from the others mentioned.)(2 pts)
Bonus question: Kim Woo-bin is often cast as a rebellious (and kind of extreme) teen, but in one drama, he was cast as the protective oppa... who falls for the girl who calls him oppa anyway. Too bad she only thought of him as, well, the oppa kind of oppa, not the other kind. Which drama was it? (And bonus points if you tell me the original characters that Woobie's character was based on.) (3 pts.)
Deadline: Tuesday, February 4, 2014, 11:59:59 PM Res Time (just before Reset)
Now officially open for entries!

Thanks for entering, yana. And remember, you may edit or change your answers up until the deadline! This has put me in mind of Edgar Allan Poe's The Purloined Letter, pwahahahahaha. I can't believe it. Also, White Christmas. I can't stand to watch psychological thrillers/suspense anymore, but I hear all good things about that drama, and that Woobie did really well in it, especially as he was still a rookie at that time.

The Fourth Wave of this Quiz is now officially closed.
The answers are:
1. This Korean actor had been in the industry for about a decade before he discarded his stage name and began using his real name. Then he got "noticed" and suddenly became leading man material. The role that launched him? A tragic antihero in the sageuk The Great Queen Seon Deok, a character who became a household name so much he also gets mentioned from time to time in other dramas. Who is this actor? (Bonus points if you give his former stage name and the name of the character he played.)(3 pts) - Kim Nam-gil. He started showbiz in 2009 using the stage name Lee Han, playing minor roles. It wasn't until 2008 that he began using his real name, when he got cast in the movie Portrait of a Beauty. That paved the way to get him cast as Bidam in Queen Seon Deok the following year... and the rest is history.
2. K-pop time! This idol from the group behind such songs as "Paradise" and "Destiny" also played roles in the dramas Shut Up Flower Boy Band and Master's Sun. Who is he? (Bonus points if you give his full name and idol group.)(3 pts.) -Kim Myung-soo, better known as L from Infinite, played guitarist Lee Hyun-soo in Shut Up Flower Boy Band and the teenage version of So Ji-sub's character Joo Joong-won in Master's Sun.
3. Give the ti
tle of the Rose d'Or-winning drama that starred Miss A's Suzy, T-ara's Eun-jung, 2PM's Taecyeon and Wooyoung, IU, and Kim Soo-hyun. (Bonus point if you tell me what set Soo-hyun apart from the others mentioned.)(2 pts) -The six played the main characters in Dream High, which is so far the first and only South Korean production to win a Golden Rose from the international festival Rose d'Or. Kim Soo-hyun is the only non-idol member of the group... and yet he's cast as... but that would be a major spoiler to those who haven't watched the drama yet. :D
Bonus question: Kim Woo-bin is often cast as a rebellious (and kind of extreme) teen, but in one drama, he was cast as the protective oppa... who falls for the girl who calls him oppa anyway. Too bad she only thought of him as, well, the oppa kind of oppa, not the other kind. Which drama was it? (And bonus points if you tell me the original characters that Woobie's character was based on. I said characters. :P) (3 pts.) -Woobie played Kim Jung-hoon, aka Johnny Kim, Sulli's character Jae-hee's "Johnny oppa" in To The Beautiful You. He's based on Gilbert Lang (the first love) and Akiha Hara (the nosy pro photographer) in the manga Hanakazori no Kimitachi e. And so far, this seems like the rare instance that Woobie doesn't play a high-schooler... Johnny oppa is a college dropout/professional photographer.

I'm going ahead and posting the questions for the Fifth Wave while waiting for the previous wave's prizes to be claimed. Once again, this will run over the weekend and end in the middle of the week so people can participate during their free time. :D
Fifth Wave (5 pts)
1. This Korean actress who was in one of Lee Seung-gi's early music videos wasn't only a "sweet spy," she was "invincible," and very recently, a "goddess of marriage." Who is she? :D (1 pt)
2. Speaking of Lee Seung-gi's music videos. The music video for his "noona anthem" debut song "Because You're My Girl," starred the lovely Kim Sarang as the said noona. Aside from being actresses, and yunno, women, and all the obvious stuff, what does Sarang have in common with Kim Sung-ryung, better known as Jang Geun-seuk's self-centered mom in You're Beautiful and Lee Min-ho's ditzy mom in Heirs? (1 pt)
3. Still speaking of Lee Seung-gi: He starred in two dramas about gumihos-- My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and Gu Family Book. In the first drama, he is, of course, the gumiho's boyfriend in a tale that turned the gumiho legend, so to speak, on its end. But Gu Family Book went one better... so what was so unusual about Seung-gi's role in that drama? (Bonus point if you tell me what a gumiho is.)(2 pts.)
Bonus question: Speaking of gumiho. What Pokemon is based on the gumiho's Japanese cousin? :D (1 pt.)
Deadline: Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 11:59:59 PM Res Time (just before Reset)

Nam Sang-Mi
They were both crowned Miss Korea.
A gumiho is a nine-tailed fox basically. It is a fox that has lived for a thousand years and thus transforms into a gumiho. It can freely transform. (myth) Gosh. Where do i even start. Seung-gi's role is completely reversed in the Gu Family Book. Instead of being fully human, as opposed to his role in My girlfriend, he is the one that is not human now. He is Half gumiho and half human instead. And he is the one who will be the cause of his heroine's death as opposed to him dying in My Girlfriend. He has to make many difficult decisions as he will also be the one to kill his father. This role was his first role in a Korean historical drama.
I dont play pokemon. hmm. Im thinking.. Vulpix.

Thanks for your entry, Bluerayofsunshine! Hmmm, sometimes the answer can be complicated, and sometimes it's simpler than you think. Just remember that you can usually find the clue to the answer in the question... sort of like a cryptic crossword? :D Anyway, you can change/add to/delete stuff from your entry up to the deadline! :D
