Good morning to you! :) My trip was actually lovely, and it served its purpose of bringing me back to the real world for a while. I'm not watching any drama right now, I don't seem to be in the mood for anything, so my last Inhyun's episode was the 12th! I never thought it was a masterpiece: its charm was in the fresh and breezy way in which these two interacted, I thought the rest was ok, nothing more.
Fangirls can be very scary. Not long ago I made the mistake of confessing that I'm annoyed by the constant raving about dramas which are barely decent, and I ended up offending half of the thread and apologizing, lol.

Hello my friend,
I've just come back from a short Austrian break to find your beautiful review of K2H. Loved how you interpreted the title! :D
Are you doing well? :)

Hello dear,
I'm back, although coming and going due to my translation and school ending soon.
I changed my picture, you are right it was too sad, not fit for my present sparkling mood. :D
A big hug, my friend. ;)

Hmm, not as many as I would like to. I have a true weakness for Asia, so every time I have the time and the means to travel overseas, I choose a South East Asian country.
I have visited many European countries, North Africa and Australia, but never the States - shame on me. :D They are in my list, of course, but when the time comes my spirit invariably flies towards the East.
Yes, I understand why you want to wait a little before embarking on a long journey with your daughter. Italy has a lot historical and artistic to offer, while children usually prefer to play in the sand, regardless where, hehe. :)
Oh, and when you decide to fly, here's my little suggestion: drink red wine! It works better than sleeping drugs and the like and it's definitely healthier. ;)

Hello Libellula ;), nice to meet you.
I live between Milan and Verona, in the lake area, quite far from Calabria. :) Have you been to Italy before? I read you are afraid of flying: I'm too, but I guess my desire to visit places is stronger, so I take planes although it's a frightening experience every time.
I can imagine it's not easy to find an Italian tutor, since this language is not widely spoken outside our country. :)

My mouth's watering... ;)

I have been thrice in Bali, twice in Sumatra, once in Java, Flores and Lombok. I never visited Bandung but I know of it, it's a very big city and quite famous I've heard. :) I may be wrong, but I think the new age group Asiabeat dedicated a piece to Bandung. When in Java, I tried to stay away from big cities, visited Prambanan and Borobudur temple and enjoyed the lush nature, an amazing experience. Naturally I don't know all cities in your huge country, but I hope I can say it's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen without sounding mushy. ;)

Thank you for accepting it! :D
I see you're from Indonesia, can I ask you where exactly? :)

Ohhhhh, I didn't even know about it. I will put it in the list at once, I trust your judgment. :D
I will be away for the w-end and the have to concentrate a little more on my translation, but you'll find me around... I just can't dedicate myself to a drama right now. I may wait a couple of weeks and then have a more subtitled episodes to watch.
How about you? Recuperating from your Opera Omnia? ;) Catching up on drama watching? Plans?

Ohhh, are you going somewhere on a holiday to celebrate the re-found freedom? :D

P.S. I would love to read another heated review on MGIAG... I confess. ;)

Hahahahaha. I think by now we know what we both hate the most: stupid females. Give me a drama with a decent female, some pathos, not toooooooooo fluffy a romance (I need some passion beyond eating icecream and buying stuffed animals) and even if the plot's not really to my taste, I will not hate it. ;)

LOL, thank you for being one of the few who appreciated it. Honestly, it gets worse! At least in the beginning there's some humour and the plot has a sense, but as soon as he confesses he likes her, it's a descent into stale cheese. I know I was a little too heated in my review, but I couldn't help it. Believe me, I reassessed Playful Kiss after this.
And I also wanted to write you because after reading your review I'm going to pick up Love Rain, which I had put in my plan to watch list just because it was there, lol. Now I am a lot more encouraged to watch it. :D

Hello my friend, please forgive me for the prolongued silence. You must have thought your last post left me speechless - which in a way it's true, lol.
I love what you wrote about the logical aspect of Polish. I've had an interesting discussion about this with a friend not long ago, about how people in general consider English an easy language to learn if compared to inflected languages like German, or Latin derived ones like French. Apart from the obvious - i.e. the mother tongue of the person who learns - I told her that I find inflected language easier in general terms, because they are very logically structured. Once the first, big wall is climbed, the rest is easier. English on the other hand, gets complicated on going, like an ever ascending path.
Thanks for the link! I have saved it in my favourite and will read it well when at leisure. :D

No, she's not typical at all. I've loved her from the start and I still do. I also love Boong Du, of course: he's a simply great character with everything to like.
But like you said, if one scrapes under the surface, I'm not sure there is much substance. The surface for me was that incredible amount of electricity which these two created when together. But since he came back after losing his memory they have been quite heavy on the cute and I'm not a fan of cute, I find it... deflating. LOL
I'm a little difficult to please lately, as you may have noticed. ;)

Hello purple fairy! ;);)
I see you've watched Inhyun's Man episode already.
Do you think I'm strange if I tell you I've lost a little interest in that drama? I don't know why, I will certainly complete it, but I'd rather wait until it's over and than marathon. Perhaps in so doing I get back that spark which was lost somewhere. :)

Thank you! :D And where is yours? I want to read it. ;)

Wow, so you're Polish! :D When I studied at University (I graduated in Linguistic and majored in German and English literature), we had the most interesting and exciting lessons about the Slav languages, Polish included, how the words retain their roots while being so open to foreign words and how people speaking Slav as their mother language are quicker in learning Italian, German, French and in general Latin derived idioms. Not that I learned Slav, but we had a lot of comparative linguistic and I think one of our teacher was a bit of a great fan of them. ;)
Forgive the digression, you should never mention the word languages with me unless you want to see me go off on a tangent, lol.
What are you studying? Do you speak Japanese?

Nonono, I don't speak Arab and my knowledge of Japanese can be compared to a 2 year old child who tries to say "sfortunatamente". :P I'm working on it, though. ;)
On the other hand, why was I convinced you were British?

Ohhhh, British English... me swoon. ;)
If I had to enlist my favourite languages per reason, it'd look like this:
British English - sexy as hell, even when posh
German - romantic (oh, I know this sounds strange. But imagine a 17 year old you and a good looking young Austrian declaring his love to you citing Herman Hesse, and you'd probably agree with me the language is incredibly romantic)
Japanese - profound and thought-provoking
Arab - thrilling and poetic

I know I should list French too, since my husband is French and having him whisper French silliness in my ears is a truly erotic experience, lol, but French isn't a language I really like, except from that particular speaker of it, hahaha.

This said, you didn't sound defensive at all: you sounded moderate and poised, which made me feel, like you say, like a teenager throwing a tantrum. Hahahaha
