What is this, Horseville? 'Cause I'm surrounded by naysayers. Wordplay!

Work has been kicking my ASS recently. The thing that annoys me about my job is that everything I do is so completely random. It's millions of little things, but I don't have one big thing that I can call my own. I help everyone with their big things. I would love to be able to have one impressive thing I could call my own. As it is, it's hard to pin down what exactly it is I DO because I don't have that. Ah, well.

The turkey on my sandwich tastes a little funny. GREAT.

LEVERAGE FANS, fill me in, because I'm not in the know: Gina Bellman is coming back, right? I know she is preggers IRL, but I'll have a super sad face if Sophie never returns. Also, it sucks having to wait until January for new episodes. Though I suppose that IS better than waiting a year.

In drama news, I kind of hate waiting currently airing shows because that means I have to wait for subs. I mainly do it so I can participate in the discussions. I don't mind when it comes to shows like Buzzer Beat because the subs get released at a steady rate. But I'm thisclose to taking Karei naru Spy off of my "Currently Watching" list because it's nearly done airing and only ONE episode has been subbed.

I also started My Fair Lady (or Taking Care of the Lady, formerly known as Lady Castle, which I think was actually the best name out of the three despite how engrishtastic it was) and I can't decide it I like it or not. I was actually pleasantly surprised after watching the first three episodes that Hae-na was not as shrill as I was expecting her to be. She's just kind of a bitch, which I can deal with. I think YEH is doing a good job of hinting at the mushy center that is covered by that hard candy shell.

No, she doesn't really have a reason to be spoiled beyond just being a plain brat, but I do think it is a defense mechanism that has simply been allowed to go to far. I'd be fine with her character for the most part (mainly she just doesn't want anyone to ever get close enough that they could possibly hurt her, so she's awful to EVERYONE), the issue I have is with her not wanting to 'work.' That's kind of hard to get past. Just put effort towards SOMETHING beyond just being horrible. I'm assuming she'll learn to be so during the course of the drama.

The show itself is pretty over the top. I almost feel like I'm watching a play with all the exaggerated gestures, but I don't really mind it. It can be pretty funny, and the little boy is probably my favorite part. I do wish that Yoon Sang Hyun would shave off that horrendous mustache. He just looks SO SKEEVY with it that I'm finding it hard to even look at him. He's doing a nice job as Dong Chan, since most of the comedy falls on his shoulders, but seriously, THE RAZOR IS YOUR FRIEND.

Also, seeing Jung Il Woo is REALLY making me want to watch Return of Iljimae which I've only heard awesome things about, but I need to finish Painter of the Wind first!

Anyway, My Fair Lady is kind of stumbling along. It's far from spectacular, but it is keeping me interested and I'm not quite sure why. Although it could very well be the fact that Dong Chan so earnestly played Lionel Ritchie's "Hello" on the piano in order to seduce Hae-na (who was like, that's nice - NOW PLAY THIS GIRL'S GENERATION SONG). You know, the one with the music video of the blind girl making the clay bust of him? OMG I LAUGHED SO HARD. He was taking it so seriously, I nearly died.
