I've also started to watch Osen...so far, it's cute, Osen, the okami of Isshouan is a bt trippy and comes across a bit like Amamiya of Hotaru no Hikari fame...I need something BIG to happen or at least so love interest though...well, if there isn't that, i guess the sight of all that food will keep me ticking over...

I can't seem to find any other jdramas that i want to watch though...sigh...

It seems that i have well and truly broken my kdrama drought!

I've seen 9 Ends and 2 Outs (It's lurve and i will need proper dvds for this), Air City (Lee Jung Jae aka Kim Ji Sung is drool worthy but is off-set by Choi Ji Woo's permanently surpirsed look), Bad Couple (this sooooo reeled my in with the cute and fluffy but i'm being completely hammered by the angst fest), Get Karl! Oh Soo Jung (this started ok, but i gave up due to non-interest in the leads), Miss Kim's Million Dollar Quest (cute and sweet), Before and After (started out soooo promising then it just all ended rather abruptly with no proper resolution of the otp!!! NOOOOO) and now....JUMONG!!!

If i knew Jumong was going to be like what it is, I would have started it sooooooo much earlier!!! Ok, the YuHua and Haesomu and Kimwa characters, as the BOYFRIEND says 'look soooo weird' and are stretching my ability to suspend disbelief, but who cares! I am mesmerised by what is going on!!! Finally, something that actually needs a bit of thinking and concentration, of course, it could just be that i've given up on the engrish and am reading chinese subs...

I'm only just started it and need more more more! I have to say that the Gimwa character is coming across a bit wet, and while i understand that he doesnt love his wife, that doesnt mean that he can't even be concerned about her well-being, or that he cant love the children he has with her....stupid fool of a man! argh!, 

Anna seriously sucks! She has probably joined that tennis b**** cow in My Girl for hate-worthiness!

Using emotional blackmail to try and tie Cun Xi to you when you know he no longer loves you, when you know it's all because of duty and the fact that the love of his life is no longer there, to pretend you don't hear him call out for Xin Yi...flippin heck woman! Have some pride and get out of there!

You don't have to admit that you gave Xin Yi and abortion agreement and lied that it's from Cun Xi and inadvertently caused a big huge misunderstanding which lead to the big 'M'! Just leave and go to some hut in the middle of no where to live out the rest of your miserable life reflecting on what've your selfishness has wrought! I tried to be understanding, but i'm at the end of my tether and want you to just disappear! argh!

On another note...episode 18, dancing girls nekkid except for post it notes for modesty...ROFL!!!

I know i said that choi ji woo wasnt half as annoying as she usually is, but oh my god, 10 episodes in and she's starting to G-R-A-T-E!!!

in fact, ALL the women in this are just plain annoying except for the 2 ahjummas, they're way too cool!

Anyway, i usually run a mile from any hint of slashiness, either that, or dissolve into fits of giggles...but seriously, the dudes in Air City... i could very very very easily slash them with each other!

On the one hand, you've got Lee Jung Jae, a special ops agent who does things his way, his gravelly voice, intensity but also being capable of being warm and open and quick to mischief and laugh and tease, and that kinda weird but oddly sexy loose hipped gait of his... did i mention he angsts bootifully and has such a lovely smile and that he looks very yummy dressed in his suits (not those funky kdrama suits, but proper ones) and when he wonders round hon kong in that leather jacket...eee...why can't i meet someone like that in the alleys of hongkong!?

on the other hand, you've got a kaneshiro takeshi looky-likey, younger, fatter, more puppy dog like...

anyway, the 2 dudes snark at each other, or at least young bloke snarks at special ops as they fight it out for choi ji woo. but special ops dude just kinda teases him and it's so blatantly obvious that one is a MAN and the other is a boy (although you are supposed to believe that their both in their 30-ies), but as special ops dude kinda teases younger dude with a twinkle in the eye, i could slash the 2 together quite easily...ROFL...

and then, you've got all the assorted other baddies and other special ops agents...all 'packing heat' (so to speak) and being all bad-ass...

and choi ji woo gets to pick between them!? what!!! i know which one i want, and it ain't the puppy dog one!

After the love and fun of 9 End 2 Outs (and omg, i could just gobble Lee Jung Jin up! He's joined the ranks of Lee Seo Jin and Hyun Bin, both of whom i have mad love for! And boy can he work a pink shirt, have i mentioned that i have a weakness for hot men in pink shirts!? not salmon pink, i'm talking baby pink, or bright pink, PINK!!!), i have now embarked on the Choi Ji Woo vehicle, Air City.

For some daft reason, she's not coming across half as annoying and simpering as she usually does, and the secondary dude, reminds of a younger fatter that is the God of Maleness, Kaneshiro Takeshi.

BUT! It is the primary male lead that is totally catching my eye, not classically good-looking, but oh boy has he got charisma in spades...

anyway, all the actors in this speak decent english, or at least english that doesnt make me go 'huh!? was what that!?' and even a smattering of mandarin!

It's called The Return of the Cybeman!

And it's got the BallyKissAngel woman!

And what's his face ...Colonel Brandon that's who, from Sense and Sensibility!

OMG!!! Dr Who has gone all FUBAR on me!!!


I'm not going to spoil it for anyone but i hate hate hate HATE what he did to Rose, cos it's not him!!!! ARGH!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!

It's not right, it's not fair! And i can't believe that TPTB did this to me! did this to Rose!!! And if anyone wants to talk about it, leave a comment!!! but i really hate it! seriously, if i wasn't this peeved off, i would be crying my eyes out! It's HEARTBREAKING!!!

I wished they left it alone now, like the HYD TPTB that decided to leave the Soujirou/Yuki arc alone!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!
Seriously, the Doctor, never looked so much sexier or more deadly and brutal than in this series finale...

 F***! F***! F***! F***! F***!

FUBAR!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to a bout of food poisoning, i am currently lounging at home, indulging in this new kdrama that i found...it's called 9 End 2 Outs and it just turns all all the usual kdrama tricks on its head!

Both the leads have just turned 30 and he, Hyung Tae is looking for a healthy 30s and she, Nan Hee is looking for a 30s without regrets. They have been friends since they were born (their parents were friends too) and so, know all about each other. Due to certain circumstances, Nan Hee ends up living with Hyung Tae, which in Korea, is something utterly shameful and disgraceful cos it means cohabiting...

Anyway, these 2 friends stand by each other through thick and thin and snark and snarl at each other, but with such humour and good-grace and love and affection for each other....did i mention that the chemistry between Lee Jung Jin (HT here, and he looks good enough to eat!) and Soo Ae (NH) is brilliant!? He's a total player and is being chased by a younger co-worker and she's in a relationship with a 22 year old college baseball player...

In the first episode, as she faces up to a failure at 30, we find out that they had made a promise to each other that if by the time they were 30 and were still single, they would marry each other...of course HT says no and NH is just upset at being single and not doing well professionally (she really wants to be a writer, but is working in a small publishing firm)...anyway, the very moment that this drama pulled me in? It was when HT, seeing NH crying, pulls her in for a hug and says 'You should have just said that you needed a friend and not a man right now...' AWWWWW......

The funniest so far... er...she waves a hole puncher at him during a mock fight...and all the scraps they get into when NH's mother comes over (NO ONE knows they live together!)...and that dream he had of having a rampant snog with her! rofl!!!

As the series unfolds, we also find out that her boyfriends have all had trouble accepting her extremely close relationship with HT. in fact, her first love, tells HT, much later, when they are all grown up and another friend's wedding that the reason he broke up wuth NH was because he has issued her an ultimatum, HT or him....no prizes for guessing who NH picked... we find out that NH used to spy on HT out of the corner of her eye when they were teenagers cos she fancied him, and that he did love her...even though both swear that they do not see each other as either a woman or a man!

We see the wistfulness in NH's face when she sees the younger co-worker of HT and graciously bows out of a dinner party originally planned for just herself and HT, she's sorting the food, and he's bought red wine AND 2 wine glasses (and they say that they dont fancy each other!? ALL LIES!!!) And the dawning jealousy in HT as he sees NH with her little bit on the side and as he realises that her first bf is still hanging round her... When will these 2 realise that they are in lurve, and probably have been in lurve for the best part of their lives!!!??? i guess this is what really attracts me to the film, how 2 friends who know each other inside out, realise that there are still things they dont know about the other, and how as they keep looking elsewhere for love, come to realise that they've been looking at it all along...

Apparently, the series uses a lot of baseball analogies to describe the problem with love and relationships. unfortunately it is completely lost on me!!!

Ahhhhh.... need more! must watch more!!!!

I have been watching Exhibition of Fireworks starring Mr. Hong Gil Dong himself and Miss Chun Hyang... I must confess to not understanding all the fuss about Kang Ji Hwan previously, but i think I am seeing a bit of the KJH light finally! what was truly funny was that in one of the episodes of Exhibition of Fireworks, Miss ChunHyang (i'm blanking on their actual names in the drama) snarks to him 'Who do you think you are? Hong Gil Dong!?') and of course couple years later, he can truthfully reply 'Why, yes, I am Mr Hong Gil Dong...' - LMAO

it's out! it's out! it's out!

But NO Soujirou x Yuuki!

ARGH!

HATE!!!

i think i died and went to heaven after watching this saturday's dr. who...

at the point where rose and the Dr were running towards each other, i flailed like I haven't flailed since DAMO...before the BOYFRIEND piped up 'Rose is gonna get exterminated by an evil Dalek right before his eyes in a minute...' ARGH...it turned out to be the Dr instead!

But anyway, the whole Rose 'Who is Martha!?' vibe is going to be so cool! I can't wait until they finally clap eyes on each other!

The office this morning was agog with dissecting the goings-on of Dr, Who and the mad Dalek... all i want to know is what happens to Donna in the future (enough with the portents of doom! just tell us!!!), and who is that 'most faithful companion' that the mad Dalek speaks of!!!

other than that, we were all just being supreme geeks thinking through how many more incarnations the doctor can have (confirmed that he can regenerate 13 times) and the only way he can have more, is by doing what the Master did and travel back in time, but if Gallifrey is locked in time, then how can he, but the mad Dalek's done it! ARGH!!!!!

I finally finished dragon zukura last week...very funny, very good, and, OMG, I am indulging in Abe Hiroshi love all over again!!!

I am finally ready to start on Jumong, unless I find another jdrama to capture my interest....

i really want to watch quite a few jdramas, but i can't seem to find them on any streaming website...dunno what else to watch at the moment...sigh...i want cute and happy and has otp drapped all over it...

OMG! They met! Finally! After 2 years! And the whole, missing each other by a breadth of a hair thingy in episode 14....

ahhhhhhh......

though i have to say, after the full on angst of episode 12 and 13, episode 14 and 15 have been quiet easy on the ole'heart, though i suspect that this is just the lull before the big fill on agnst storm that is brewing over the horizon...

BRING IT ON!!!!

Finally, why is that no one else on LJ seems to be watching this!!!???

I thought that this would garner all sorts of fans all over! Cute dede, cute girl, agnst, OTPness.....

I must must must must remember not to drop off the face of the world again...

I seem to get so bogged down with work and life that it is often difficult for me to update this...watching dramas, of course, also takes precious time!

Anyway, I am away in Swindon for business and it's the first time in a while that i have a few quiet moments to myself to do stuff...like obsess about Fated to Love You, and update this Livejournal blog!

Finally! Took a day off work to do this!
Yay! Congratulations to me! And to the Boyfriend...

Arrived in Croydon at 11 am and only left at 4 pm, extortionate parking fees and not to mention the cost of application, but it's in my hands, and well, YAY!!!!!!!!

Now, I need to book some flights to go home for a holiday and bully mummy into going to taiwan for hols!!!

I've just finished Orange Days and I absolutel adore it!

It certainly brought back so many happy and perhaps not so happy memories of my university days...

I love all the characters in it and watching how they grow and become more comfortable with themselves...

AND, Orange Days, must simply boast of the most romantic thing any man can utter to a girl...

'I will protect you from the darkness of sound'

EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I melted and squeed and flailed and , well, yeah, I want a Kai-kun too!

Ok...given that I was at a loss as to what my next drama was going to be, I watched Anego yesterday, and I liked it... I had massive issues with the affair with the married man ( i really hate things like this and I'm annoyed that she knowingly slept with him...argh!!!) but all in all, it was enjoyable.

I am now  watching Slow Dance and it's brilliant!!! It stars Fujiki Naohito and  Tsumabuki Satoshi as brothers...one's a high flying older brother who gave up his dreams, one's the younger brother who heroworships his sibling and 'applies the brakes' in his life. And they all meet with the same buncy of girls, and their interactions are just lovely...Anyway, need more of Tsumabuki Satoshi...he's a dish! Did I say that there was head patting!? I love it when that happens.... my OTP sirens just go mad!

I seem to have exhausted potential dramas that I am interested in...

Fated to Love You is the only thing interesting but i've gotta wait for the weekly episodes to come out in Taiwan...

I tried My Lucky Star but got bored, I tried Young Warriors of Yang Clan but got bored too... I finished Wish to See You Again, for some reason I'm reluctant to start on Sweet/Delicious Relationship...but I wanna watch something in chinese!!! Even War-of-in-laws 2 bored me..... :(

I am very reluctant to start ot Daemang, Jumong and the Legend...just not in the mood for something heavy...Coffee Prince was my last one... The lead males in Powerful Opponents are putting me off...

I just finished Rondo and really have no idea what I want to watch next too!!!

I want something fluffy and sweet and full of OTP-ness with maybe just the tiniest bit of agnst....

I dunno what i want.....ARGH!!!!! Yep, I'm in the doldrums.... :(

Anyone have any recommendations!?

OMG! TPTB obviously thought that episode 11 wasn't bad enough, that it wasn't agnsty enough, that it didn't make enough women cry, that they had to go and give us episode 12...

rain, pregnant woman, car, hospital, tears, screams from father, ahhh.....

I am crying so much, I am hiccoughing, and my shirt is wet from all my tears...

Unfortunately, the BOYFRIEND is sitting 3 feet away from me, wetting himself watching Family Guy...argh...
