Don't apologize: 3 comments are just the right length. ;)
I have seen a couple of episodes of Thai dramas when I lived in Malaysia, but at the time I wasn't a drama addict and I though they were too much over the top for my taste. I think I should do so now and see how I feel about them. :)

Hi, and thank you for accepting. :)
I've read your list and was particularly captivated by your liking Long Love Letter, which I adored. You know, some dramas or movie work like a sort of barometer of taste, or so I think.
This said, glad to read you. And good luck on your entrance exam!

What about you? I don't necessarily mean about languages. What's your occupation?

I can have a very simple conversation in Bahasa Melayu (=Malaysian/Indonesian) and am now trying my luck (or I should say my brain-cells) with Japanese.
The more languages you approach, the greedier you become.
;)

LOL, why this curiosity all of a sudden, I wonder?
Hmm, languages. My mother tongue is Italian, I studied English, German and Spanish; the first 2 I know quite well, while I never use Spanish, therefore I'm slowly forgetting it. I speak decent French, although my syntax is a bit... loose ;)

Wow, so according to the list, she is the most popular Korean actress? O_o

It made me rethink everything I had thought until then.
And, honestly, I would never compare this to SG. Secret Garden might have been surreal and too fantastic for some, but it made me laugh, cry, giggle, think, laugh again and fall in love. No comparison.
:)

Yes, I was harsh, but then I wasn't particularly happy with this drama from the beginning. I didn't "feel" the emotions portrayed. I was honestly annoyed by the apathetic acting many times. But this is just a question of taste, I think. The ending, on the other hand, was just pointless.

Please don't spoil the end in your reviews!
Always think that many of those who read your reviews still have to watch the drama!!

More people?????????????????????????

I'm pretty sure someone has already given you a link to the drama Love or Bread since you wrote your comment. In any case, since I just saw it, here is one:

Hahaha, well, you make me sound like grass, growing everywhere.
I feel so flattered. :P

and historical novels, but when it comes to dramas, they invariably bore me on the first episode.
Right now I'm watching a very weird J-drama called Long Love Letter. Despite the title, it's a sci-fi story, one of the strangest dramas I've ever watched. And yet I love it! So I'm very much in J-mode

Hi Edina,
thank you so much for your suggestions. I registered on the site and will watch the other telecinema movies as soon as possible. Also, I've put Winter Sonata on my list: I haven't seen it yet. On the other hand, I'm not much into period dramas. It's funny, because I adore history

Perhaps you should wait before downloading Long Love Letter: I'm still watching it, but it's becoming very weird, more or less like some sci-fi/catastrophy movies from the 70ies, LOL. I confess I like it, even though some scenes are so naive they make me blush, hahahaha. Give it a try online first!

But I keep the judgment for the end of it.
Have a nice Sunday!

2. A J-drama: Long Love Letter. Don't be fooled by the title: there's romance, but there's also a fantastic time/dimentions machine at work here. I think you'd like it. Personally, I love it.
I'm watching 49 days. I have mixed feelings: sometimes it's great, at others boring. I find the acting so-so

Yay! Two recommendations, then: 1. John Boynton Priestley, An Inspector calls and Other Plays, a small collection of 4 plays dealing with time and "future recognition". Not widely known, but truly worth the read. The collection is published by Penguin.

I wish the other chapters of Telecinema were uploaded, because I sense I would love them too. But I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I'm also hiccupping through 49 days: I like it, but I'm not inlove, so to speak.

Hello Edina,
I'm fine thanks, how about you? Please forgive me for answering so late, but I've been a little busy lately and not often on line. I'm not watching anything particular at the moment: I'm in a start&drop phase, lol. I love Postman to Heaven too, a very touching, greatly directed movie.
