Too tired to do a particularly coherent post

so have some compensation:



There is nothing that is going to induce me to watch Scent of a Woman but I admire its dedication to ab perfection - Lee Dong Wook seems more devoted to angsting in the shower than anyone since the days of Kwon Sang Woo.

My current watching roster btw:

The Princess Man (my current obsession and in the running for best drama of the year), A Thousand Kisses (my happy kdrama), Warrior Baek Dong Soo (way behind though) for kdramas; Ikemen Desu Ne and Ouran High School Host Club (both wacky yet sweet) for jdramas; and Vigilantes in Masks and Relics of an Emissary for c/hkdramas (wuxia! hot people!).

On twdrama front - Material Queen is on hold because I am so behind I might as well watch it when it's done, I am waiting on more time to check out Love Keeps Going (though with Myung Wol done, I finally have space), I dropped Hayate because it was cute but I was not in the mood. I am waiting for KO 3an Guo subbing to be done so I can binge.

On other jdrama front, Tempest and Yamada Takayuki's drama both look good but I need to make space. I really want to check out hkdramas Ghetto Justice and Lives of Omission (I blame mookiehyun) but I plan to finish Relics first.

On kdrama front, I am not watching any more Family Honor until TPM is done because I like where I am and will binge on the remaining 23 eps once TPM is over - watching Park Shi Hoo in two different dramas at the time is confusing. I am not going to be checking out Poseidon because it look procedural-ish and that is not my thing, and I like Protect the Boss but do not have mad pash and eagerness so it's getting put on back-burner for now. Girl K joins the roster once there are subs and ditto for The Musical. Birdie Buddy is dropped because Invincible Lee Pyung Kang looks like it will remain the only golf drama I go for, Scent of a Woman is a no-no due to terminal illness. Gyebaek is waiting when a period drama slot opens up for me because I am already drowning in them. The rest didn't even register on my radar, so are out.

Love Keeps Going - ep 1

Well, actually about halfway through ep 1 - first ep is over 1:30 long (!!!)

I like it. It's not earthshaking or anything but it's pleasant. I think a lot of it, however, would depend on how much you like Cyndi Wang. I find her adorable so I am invested and amused, but if you are not a fan, it will probably fall pretty flat.

The story of LKG revolves around Mei Le (Cyndi), a young woman who dedicated herself to being useful, believing only useful people are loved. However, her life gets derailed when her fiance leaves her for another woman and her professional/personal plans all fall apart. And then she meets her former fiance's ascerbic brother (Mike He).

I actually quite like the concept - everyone in Mei Le's life so far doesn't love her for her, they love her for what she can do (she is organized, skilled, with good job etc), even her mother. But that is not really what love should be about - it is not supposed to be conditional, based on what you can do for another person. That is something in an employment situation, not an emotional one. So I hope Mei Le learns to be loved for herself and learn to value herself and not just what she can do for other people. So far, the only person who makes her get grumpy and get out of 'born to please' mode is Mike He's character, so that is a good sign.
