New addition

[rosdrise]

Instead of putting my holiday bonus towards some dull and reasonable like my student loans I went ahead and bought a new tv. It's a purchase I've been thinking about on and off for some time. With a little extra scratch in the bank and the fact I watch way too much tv for my own good, I decided it was time to take the plunge. So, I've upgraded from my old-timey 27" CRT to a beautiful 40" LED.

As an extra bonus, it's a Google TV. So, while Hulu is (obnoxiously) blocked, I can surf the internet. Which means dramas on the big screen!

All that's left now is to get my HD service turned on.

Nothing much else to report. My mother is in town for the week, so I haven't been watching dramas. Once the company is gone though, I'm definitely going to check out Wild Romance. What is everyone else looking forward to? As far as I can recall nothing on the jdrama schedule caught my eye, but it's been a while since I looked.

Oh! I also want to check out the twdrama, Skip Beat!. Who is watching that?

I checked out the first episode of Wild Romance and found it funny. It hasn't really hooked me yet but it was kind of fun to watch and while the story's a bit slow, the leads are taking to their character with gusto. (And I admit to have a small weakness for Lee Dong-wook since My Girl is my favorite drama ever, lol).

And I'm also watching Skip Beat and it's alright. It doesn't blow me away but it's entertaining and quirky. I love the story of Skip Beat anyway so it's not a hard drama to sell to me, lol. It is a bit distracting that Choi Si-won and Dong-hae are being dubbed. The girl playing Kyoko (Ivy Chen? I think?) is pretty decent though. =)

Oh good! I've actually only ever seen LDW in Scent of a Woman and while he's attractive enough, he also tends to have dead/shark eyes. I just thought it sounded like a cute set-up, so I'm definitely going to give it a try.

I forgot about the dubbing issue! :/ That's going to be strange. I've only watched two Taiwanese dramas to completion... so I guess we'll see how this goes.
