This IS looking like a very exciting drama and looks like something refreshing too. I'll be happy to see shin hyun joon...that guy is underrated, he should get his five or 15 minutes to shine among all this. The feeling of Zorro does seem adequate...I grew up on Zorror in one form or another.

oioooh Hugh Laurie, yes! Have you seen House Series finale yet? Hahah, I know, I have been brainwashed like that too :D

It is actually looking up to be a worthwhile comedy for a change,I have enjoyed the first episode, I hope they will keep it up and not destroy it with some ridiculous storyline.

ow, get better soon. it;s rainy here too. Gou did a fine job for what it was, not my top favourite historical drama, but ok to watch, it;s just that i found the main actress unsuitable for ther role, much as I like in general, she annoyed me greatly, but I don;t think it was bad,in fact there were moments when I was completely pulled into the story and quite annoyed at times but then I have nothing to compare it too since it was my first japanese historical drama and i hear atsu hime is better. The guy who plays Hideyoshi does a tremendous job, too. Such a character!

There are very few dramas that make me laugh as much as this one. Granted, number 1 was more funny. I hate sequeles but the second part was mpore like a seamless contunuation and Buchou and Amemiya are adorable..just less funny, but it;s still nice to see her make more progress haha. However, I am worried about the upcoming film...it;s like teypre trying to milk the franchise. I don;t know the manga....has anyone read the manga? does it story follow the manga and if so where does the manga end?

:D D:D:D Afternoon Bokami! Having a nice Saturday with a lovely weather?

I am so fed up with people only after the pretty boys, it;s like they cannot appreciate good acting and in fact the older guys are so much hotter than the young ones, aside from the fact that they can actually ACT. Men in 30-45s are at their best! I am fed up with society insistence on yourh and pretty eyes and pretty eye lashes etc it annoys me to no end that older actors are odten overlooked. And when they are discovered it;s like especially some shallow teen girls oh he;s great, even if he;s 30- I say, WHAT? EVEN IF? ESPECIALLY IF. I soo can;t stand agist comments!
But says me who is hoplessly in love with Anthony Hopkins acting. He is an actor to die for. Who is your favourite non-Asian actor?

he is. for me he is a heart throb :D i don't understand why some people say he;s not handsome, when he is too. I really love older actors. I wasnlt denying him talent in EM, either, it was clear to me he was carrying that drama, he's good as a lead. :sigh: This is the kind of actor/acting to get dreamy about. :P

Well, the drama pulls me in but I just hate triangles and that other girl is annoyinng- can she be any more annoying? I really dislike annoying, clingy pdeople. They have no grace whatsoever. I''ll keep watching, it;s not like I'm not used to scheming witches and it;s been a while since I saw a drama with one. But in turn the first three episodes have really established interest and it is looking up like a heartbreaking story. It does look like emotions will run high and rampant in this one...I like Vic Zhou. Seen him in Sweet Relationship, where he had an absolutely adorable love interest in Bai Xui.

I am curious about this drama but for me taiwanese are often hardly watchable, to be honest, because they do not quite satisfy that depth and/or spirituality I am after. It really depends on what watching habits we have, imho, and what we are used to. Ultimately, it;s hard to just cast off any drama from any country into ione bag because in each country there will be more emotional and less emotional dramas...that is emotional in the way they speak to us. Without enmotional connection, there is no drama watching experience, imho..in fact, there is no art if it does not connect emotionally with the viewer... audience/reader.

I tend to disagree...Japanese dramas may be more difficult for westerners sometimes because they really do tend to be very open to subjects they deal with, but they also have more depth, more purity and less physicality. Showing emotions in a physical way is very private and personally I really respect them for not doing it, IF they do not do it. They are able to somehow show strong bonds in different ways, by capturing theor spirituality, but it also depends which japanese dramas you;ve seen...I haven;t seen them shying away from kissing or holding hands. See, for instance, dramas with kimutaku. It's changing, I suppose. But I love it when Japanese dramas achieve ephemerality and when they are more poetic. Besides, I lately watched ninkyo helper...emotions there are actually very prominent and visible... and they give off a sense of depth. that said, i am curious to watch this drama.

He's passed away? I have both on air and a story of a man on my ptw list but i had no idea. oh, man, sad.

what...an opening song by Sting? And it's a Desert Rose too, i loved that song when it first came out and it still has that special feel.

Mirichan, Mirichan, good morning! Did you have a nice Child's Day yesterday? :D How are you? And How is the Soldier? I see you;re braving it :D

lol but isn't that lovely? So old-school, old-fashionedly quaint. He's likeable.

Good morning Yeona. Reporting that I watched Cyrano agency and I liked it, it;s a crafty film plust its ambience is quite lovely, especially the theatre parts and the great use of light. And I love Uhm Tae Wong :D He's a very skilled actor, gosh I like actors who actually have CHARACTER rather than merely a pretty face.

Loved the ending scenes haha. And Uhm Tae Wong *_* what can I say, he's great, an actor who knows his craft. I am no fan of park shin hye, she can;t act all that well, but it was ok and the rest was ok too, though daniel choi is a bit lackluster, or maybe the charaqcter is a bit lackluster. I absolutely loved the craftiness of this film and the ambience was magical at times. I really really like it!

well maybe he is more of a stage actor. he hasn;t played in any dramas since what 2009? I think it;s harder for older actors nowadays, becaise of the obsession with tyecandy. It;s such a shame, though, he is a genuine actor. I really liked Koi no Chikara, it;s a quirky story about realising yourself in work, realising your talent, and about finding that compatible love. It was a very sweet, simple story, though felt strained at time. I don;t think he's very cofmrotable with doing confessions, and the role in Good luck felt more comfprtable for him, but still I really liked this.

the type of dog to gobble down food like a little piggy haha :D he's alwaus hungry as a wolf haha. i pritest when he;s given too much, it will only hurt him, but you;d be surprised at how much that dog can EAT and how fast! Honestly, C4U, I hope he won;t cause fighting trouble with alien dogs. Maybe part of his lack of freedonm is what happened to him in the past. Poor dog afraid of the lawnmower but that First dog I was telling you about- he was afraid of water and wheels. he hated those too. And yet, when we went away for holidays we took him with us, of course then the journey took mych longer ebcause we had to stop. He was very reluctant to get into the car at first. My current two dogs- oh they sometimes forget themselves and jump into the car whenever there is open door because they;re so used to it (we took them to the vet), my dad sometimes took the dogs for a car ride too :D

but she's having squabbles with Hector because he digs up her flower beds all the time :D and is in general the type of dog to go around and fdig up everything haha. Fact of the matter is no one really now has the time to play with him- I am in in the UK and my parents take care of the dog but it's hard to expect of them to be running around with him. They spend a lot of time doing garden jibs and the dogs feel their presence. I bonded with him but because I am not there now I feel thst bond is diminished. I used to practice obiedience with him with snakcs in my pocket- he would do anything for that :D Truth of the matter is they were supposed to be guard dogs but that doesn;t work out because they are too friendly with everyone haha, but they do bark and sicne they are big dogs people tend to be afraid of big dogs barking. MY dad keepos u the training when he;s feeding them- Hector is
