An Ode to Meju

(by rambutan)


I have a drooling-leching mate in Haru Haru.

She is non other than Korean translator, Meju.

Always snickering at others over the whole fangirly thing,

One day we turned into mush balls watching Kang Suk on screen.

Why we lech after that stuffy, gruff man we don’t understand.

But he sure stirs our hearts like no male star now can.


One day I asked her to translate a Gloria song.

Immediately, she launched a disclaimer about a mile long.

“I'm not literal, I translate as would normal English sound,

Yet capturing the essence as would the words expound.

My translation takes note of both mood and tone

Based on these, the seed of my translation is sown.”


Meju's translations of GLORIA are a delight and a treat.

She makes those who time her episodes squeee! and squeak.

Methuongcon: “Oh Meju, your translations are so easy to time!”

And Starstruck, Hitomi and KimT sang the same chimes.

Actually, not only timers, but others sing their praises, too.

Fore said: “If Meju joins TEAM GLORIA, it will be a coup.”

An Ode to Fore (a Korean translator in H2S)

By: rambutan

(inspired by his translation of "Like An Indian Doll"

in the drama “GLORIA", a drama subbed by H2S)


I know a guy named fore,

who translated the song “Indian Doll”.

He then asked me to look at the lyrics,

“Please check whether they are lyrical and poetic.”


Be careful of Fore when he translates,

As an editor, I often have to adjudicate.

Being a Man, he doesn't do girl-speak,

He uses "broad" for woman, or just "chick"!


Now, this dedicated and diligent guy named fore,

he’s often around, and quickly answers all our calls.

Although all stressed, there is no hysteria.

He’s all cool but sometimes groggy, due to insomnia.


You have to be careful of this guy named fore.

His initials are “H-J”, if you want to know.

When you are not alert, he likes to pull your leg.

And if you're caught, he will laugh “kekeke!”


I like this guy named fore.

He makes me laugh to my core.

After a hard day, and I can't sleep,

His humor does away my counting sheep.
