Ah I was waiting for this to debut at Jezebel, after the nonsensical article from Cosmopolitan here: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news… (Nigerians rightly trounced the article in the comments section)

Does she? The only movie I've seen her in is 'Blood Sisters' and her acting was campy at times but I didn't think it was that bad- I rather enjoyed that movie (it's not terrible as far as Nollywood movies go, though the ending hanging scene was both creepy and hilariously bad acting) and she's very pretty/seems quite…

She sounds like a lovely person and now I want to go brush up on my Igbo so Chimamanda Adichie will speak to me in Igbo...

Also highlighting African excellence, not often we get good news out of Nigeria or Kenya, so very excited for this, and so very proud of my country/continent women :)

Well, you know Kenyans are probably descended from Nigerians anyway, migration and all that... :b Maybe, my girl, Genevieve Nnaji will be in this one as well?

Nyong'o and Adichie, an East-West match made in heaven, Africans for the win! So excited for this

This. There's certainly a difference in the ways the Christian religion is presented in different racial/income communities in the US. Example, at a sunday school lesson given to under 10 children, the Black-American teacher said this to mostly Black, low income children: "You'll go out there, in the world and there…

Since I can't edit the above, just wanted to add that it's also interesting (and adds a layer to the anxiety felt by some cisgender women I described earlier about this philosophical 'what does it mean to be a woman if it's not merely an accident of biology') to note that some of the same insights transgender women…

I think this is an important point. There was a very interesting back and forth among posters some time ago and the takeaway for many people was that the issue was more philosophical than anything- as in, what does it mean to be a woman if it's not simply sexual biology and gender is not in fact a myth? The idea that…

I'm watching it! One of my favorite dramas currently. Honestly, I should quit my Economics program and just do a phd in Korean drama, hours of my life have been spent watching kdramas...I might have a problem...ah well, I regret nothing.

Incarnation of Money is fantastic! Definitely seconding that rec.

You mean Hana Kimi? I've never watched Japanese Hana Kimi- was a fan of the manga but was quickly bored by the Korean adaptation and never quite got around to watching the Japanese drama. Based solely on my love for Japanese BoF though, I'd bet that the Japanese adaptation of a Japanese manga like Hana Kimi is also…

Fair enough, to be honest I stuck through for LMH, but even LMH couldn't make me stick through the terribleness that was Korean BoF

'omo, omo', wooow, that was indeed smoking hot! They should definitely have left that scene in, but I'm guessing they might have had to up the rating? (lol, I do love the scorecard for what passes as 'clean/safe viewing' in Kdrama though- passionate kissing between 2 established lovers/across time soulmates= no no,…

I love, love, love, love infinity Korean dramas or kdramas as they're widely known. I've devoted whole weekends to watching kdramas. When I'm at school/work on a horrendous project or having a shitty day, the thought that I can go home and watch kdramas has been my motivating force. Seriously, kdramas have saved my…

You lie! Dream High was awesome! (okay, it had it's eye rolly parts but how could you not like Suzy, and that Dream High song was damn catchy too).

Just responded above, but seriously, give the Japanese BoF a try, it's awesome and you will not regret it. It's also miles better than the Korean version (which was terrible and whose allure, I also do not see (okay, maybe for LMH, but even then, he's been in better dramas- like Personal Taste and the first half of…

The only BoF version I'll watch is the Japanese version with Mao Inoue as Makino. The F4 men might not be as attractive as in the Korean version, but the acting is lightyears better (the Korean Makino's stupid routine made me want to claw my eyes and ears out) and the storyline is truer to the original manga which I…

Queen In Hyun's Man is the best drama, period- at the very least, it's the best romantic drama I've ever seen. The chemistry between Yoo In-Na and Ji Hyun-Woo is sizzling and heartfelt, and I've yet to see another couple with such on-screen chemistry in the scores of dramas I've seen after that.

Hey now, Personal Taste was a mostly awesome drama...
