Oh dear GOD - guys, come ON!! I barely enough to sleep as it is.....forget eating, I do that whilst watching.....my keyboard is a new whole ecosystem due to crumbs. Housework? Well, I'm currently hoping that the wild bunnies in my garden do the gardening and my dogs, given enough treats, might well take on the dusting and hoovering as well as the washing. Basically I'm praying I morph into snow white.......this is just impossible to keep up with! How do people in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc cope?
I enjoyed the drama but I must say that its not on par with the manga, creators changed the story a lot and whats…
Yeah, I found that the hardest to understand - I know things are different in Japan, but I don't think it's that different that someone would forgive and allow a murderer to get away with killing their beloved mum......regardless of who that person was.
An 'unexpected truth' that leads the 'relationship to crack' is usually the 'he's really her brother' trope. Hope not, but that's usually way these go.
Yup, been there and done all of the above....but I'm a glutton for punishment. lol!
Sufficed to say that I have taken a break from what is laughingly called 'tearjerkers'....no, these are monsters who force you to cry a river of tears until you are a dehydrated husk of a human and then laugh as they rip your dried out, but still beating, little heart from your crispy body and then stomp it into dust.....
I tend to stick with more humorous and romantic dramas and comedies - those that yes, will make me cry, but NOT to the point I'm a snotty, hiccuping, tear stained mess; no, these just make you cry a little babbling brook of simple tears AND there will be moments that make you roll around laughing (Goblin, I'm looking at you).
Wow!!Drama about Sima Yi! With this cast?! I'm so in! <3
Art of War is amazing - the book is still used by companies to strategise corporate takeovers, especially hostile ones, and also when people are starting up companies they want to expand quickly and efficiently to take on their rivals and win. It's probably the best book I've ever read and considering it's nearly 2.5 thousand years old, it's amazing at how much is still relevant today in so many different areas. Oh Chinese is hard, but the hardest for me is Thai. I have had two strokes and have brain damage - but the weird thing is, it's made it easier for me to learn certain languages. Languages like Japanese and Korean have a certain melodic flow to their speech pattern (at least to me) that makes it easier for me to discern and hear - so I pay attention to the spoken and can pick it up....Chinese too to a lesser extent. But Thai is so abrupt and staccato that I struggle with it - so far I've only learnt okay in Thai!! XD

@DragonAlien -- Likewise, I watched Red Cliff 1 & 2 and was so impressed I went off to find out all I could about the politics of the time, Sima Yi and really just the whole 3 Kingdoms period. Red Cliff 1 & 2 are my favourite movies of all time. It was through them I also started studying Chinese warfare and got into the 'Art of War' by Sun Tsu (I have 2 copies of the book - one is small enough to go into my bag and I take it everywhere with me) and the other book I like is 'The Book of Five Rings'- by Miyamoto Musashi. However my most favourite book in the world is Art of War'by Sun Tsu.
I enjoyed the movie and really warmed to the older guy in the end (although in reality he's about my age I think - early 50s, and I'm 51) lol! It was a really unusual little movie; I liked that all the people in it were flawed, even damaged, in some way. There was no 'perfect' romance, no 'perfect' people - it was just a real 'slice of life' movie and with certainly less than traditional relationships involved right across the board.
I really liked it because of all that though; it's nice to see a drama *not* follow the usual accepted tropes and go it's own way - with unconventional relationships, that had their ups and downs (and no contrived misunderstandings; what happened was completely believable), and people struggling to find their own place in the world - to love and yet try not to get their hearts broken.
I gave it 8/10; it lost two points only because of the toe sucking - I'm not judging, whatever floats your boat and all that, but for me it was a bit heave inducing and so it was a 'get the hell out of Nopesville' when that happened!
I've had 21 family members deal with this disease and 3 have survived. All have fought it more than once and won every time - my father's just successfully completed his fourth battle with this disease and he's won. It's always better to catch it early and, having done so with Woo Bin, I'm sure he will win his battle too. It's not easy, but it can be done; and the sooner the start the better for him....so I'm very relieved to hear it's been discovered so early.. All I will say is FIGHTING! GANBARE!! He can and will kick cancer's butt.
I see Push I hit play - BUT, I have yet to see him better his role as P'Seua <sp?> in 'Ugly Duckling; Perfect Match'. That drama was just so cute and he was utterly adorable in it. lol!
Park Seo Joon is such a little puppy I absolutely cannot see him as chasing a UFC title! It'd be like a little…
@SuperDrama101ohyea - Is it good? I've got it on my 'to watch' list (which I'm sadly falling behind in); I've seen trailers and it does look hilarious. But he's such a PUPPY, I can't see him being tough....unless it's 'puppy tough' (you know how they do that kawaii little growl and 'tuff' strut). lol!
