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?

See, it sounds like something I'll really enjoy. But humor can be really tricky to get right. Like, for example, Flower Boy Ramyun Shop just did not work for me, but other people found it hilarious.

Re: Dokko Jin. I thought he was hilarious. My issue with his character was that he didn't know what ~feelings~ were. That aspect of his characterization just bugged me (and has bugged me in other dramas. See, again: FBRS), despite how funny I found his reactions to said feelings... if that makes sense.

Well I hope you DO enjoy it. goodness knows i'd love more fangirls to talk about kdramas with. esp this one. and I looooved flower boy ramyun shop. I was so sad to hear it didnt work for you :( speaking of wild romance, is it wrong if i kind of dont want them to fall in love too soon? I mean i just enjoy them hating each other's guts SO MUCH XD

other dramas I'm keeping an eye on is Moon Embraces the Sun and History of the Salaryman. The latter of which I cannot recommend enough, its hilarious, its twisted, and its got some real heart and depth going on as well. Its also whip smart and I am loving it. I had ZERO expectations of it and I tried out ep 2 and 3 because dramabeans recap for ep 1 made it sound interesting. If you have time I say definitely give it a whirl.
