dangermousieSometimes I think it's bizarre that I am learning Korean history (at least pre-1900 history) through dramas.
But then I did learn most of my French history through Alexandre Dumas and that really isn't any different.
Plus this:
Is a lot more fun way to learn history :)
In other news, I have finished the first episode of East of Eden and it's excellent. Really excellent. It makes me think of an adpatation of one of those literary works about generations and socioeconomics. Basically a Korean-fied version of a Zola novel.
And there is some really great narrative cinematography. For example, I never thought this image could be horrifying.
Which makes at least two dramas this fall which are excellent. The dry spell is over (now I wish the subs for Tazza were already out, but KST is slower than WITHS2).
Well, I'll console with looking at the male lead of EoE:
You know what keeps shocking me? A lot of kdrama actors are both good-looking and good actors. I am not used to such a combination! :P

I'm entirely too happy that both KotW and EoE have proven to be worth watching. Hopefully Tazza won't dissapoint either.
