You got me! Or more like Oguri Shun got me. :D

I have to say the upcoming Japanese dramas appeal to me more than the Korean ones. Or maybe it's just my drama slump. :P

Oh, *yawns* with you! Yowakutemo sounds a lot like Rookies.

Other than that, I'll be waiting for Border (what is up with ghost detective dramas?) and Bitter Blood (wow Takeru-kun in a perm, hah!)to be fully subbed. :)

I can relate to writers who take pains in creating marvelous stories. One decade of patience to piece together a masterpiece is surely worth it, but to conceive another great story with layers of meaning--takes time and genius.

Twelve Years really seems so serious. The title says a lot for itself!

Enjoyed it a lot! I am going to start on Season 2. I am on Team Alfie though I'm not sure if he and Laura will get together with her being so into her career. Julia Sawalha did a fine job portraying Dorcas Lane. Dorcas is poles apart from Lydia Bennet but Julia did a terrific job at both!

Oh gawd! I am in for a hectic, hectic month of March. Next week my eldest will be having her finals so I'm grilling her to study English and Social Studies. My youngest was selected among the top 50 kindergartners in her school in the national educational placement test so I'm helping her as well. O____O

I guess mine would be fantasy, comedy and romance. I also like historical or period pieces, wuxia and martial arts. :)

Oh my! It seems that I gain more MDL friends from Europe because of North & South! :) I love N&S (obviously! XD) and P&P. Those two are actually my top two BBC adaptations. I've seen several classic novel adaptations but they can't seem to compare to Colin Firth orz and Richard Armitage <3.

Thanks again for the request! Who knew Richard Armitage could be such a magnet! :D

Acting and writing are both challenging. Although writing can be a comfortable profession for those who have boundless imagination. I envy people like that who don't seem to run out of ideas.

Oh yeah, Gravity had me curious as did Twelve Years a Slave. Not really a fan of Leo DiCaprio but I agree with that. They always make selecting the winner a tough decision.

I've finished Lark Rise season 1 though I haven't started season 2. I'm looking forward to every character progress even though I couldn't start it right away. It's just these past few days have been kind of crazy at school. School ends this month and these evaluation tests and year-end parties are keeping me out. :P

Hi! Thanks for the request! Wow, you've got a lot going on your CW list! I'm curious what drama you are most drawn to--from that list.

Uee is definitely the best pair off with Joo Won so far. Their chemistry off-screen is warm and friendly too! Though I heard Joo Won is comfortable with being all skinship-ey with Choi Kang Hee than the rest of them. I don't like her father either. He subjected her to a whole lot of unnecessary humiliation and hardship that she had to bear it all bravely thinking she had no family to turn to.

I'm not too fond of Baker King but he did an awesome performance there. Honestly, I liked him better than Yoon Shi Yoon in terms of emotion and depth of character.

Oh! Hearing that makes me want to take a peek at the films that were awarded. I see Gravity won a lot of awards. I wanted to watch the awards night but I'd have to wait for local tv to air it or some kind soul on yt to upload it.

Would you like to pursue your acting career in theater? Just thinking about winning the EGOT gives me the goosebumps. It's so prestigious.

Maybe because Intros recaps get longer by the episode so we can skip them.

Yeah I saw yesterday. My gawd, the Lopezes won the EGOT! Incredible!

Hahahahaha! XD Seriously I can't get enough of the song that I absently sing it while I go out about my chores. :P My daughter has even downloaded a sing-along music video of the movie version. XD

Both of Brendan Coyle's roles were rebellious. The only difference I see here is that he's a peasant and in N&S he's a mill worker.

You're nearly finished with Introduction! I hope I can marathon that this week!

Go on ahead. I think I'll catch up watching Intro of the Princess in a few days. I've just recently caught the Frozen bug and now I can't get Idina Menzel's 'Let it Go' version out of my head. XD

Hahaha! So we're Shaggy and Scooby now? XD

By the way, I've started Larkrise to Candleford. Really liked the first episode and Brendan Coyle plays a similar role here as in North & South. I am developing a huge crush on his crinkly eyes and cute grin.

Hahaha! Just imagine what will happen when the two of us watch a scary movie: you'll end up in my lap and I'll scream your ear off! XD

I saw one clip of a Sailor Moon musical with Shirota Yu as Tuxedo Mask--it was so awkward seeing him tall, thin and singing. XD To tell you honestly, I can't recall if I've seen any beyond the original. And I think Robotech might have been aired on TV but I never watched it.

Well now, these are the DAYS of our lives! XD

It's not a bad idea to watch or read scary stuff during the day if you've got things to do after, then the principle of forgetting it by night would work. As a general rule, I never watch scary movies alone. And when I do watch with other people, I tend to scream the loudest! XD Hurray for dogs as best roomies. :)

We just watched the live action special for Ranma recently and that's what made my daughter continue watching the anime. I haven't tried the live action series for Sailor Moon though. I loved those three animes, and talking about them makes me want to watch them again, esp Macross.

At one time, I became attached to X-Men but it waned through college. My fondness for anime lasted longer and until now I still love a few series Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2 (my 6-y.o. is currently marathoning Season 2--she won't let me watch my movies lol) and Macross.

The last live action superhero series that I got attached to was Heroes. But I haven't finished Seasons 3 and 4.

Those movies really were meant to be scary. I tried rewatching Silence of the Lambs with my eldest who was watching it for the first time, but I chickened out. I think I was only able to watch pieces of the last installation but I never got 'round to watching it properly.

Oh I enjoy superhero movies and series but not as I used to do. I used to watch Wonderwoman when I was a kid hehe and I watched the Superman movies I through IV. Voltes V was probably the oldest anime I could remember watching as a kid. Of course there were other series on TV like Astroboy, Daimos, and then Voltron. And there were the live series like Shaider, Bioman and Masked Rider Black. Towards the latter part of high school and then in college, I got into anime with the influence of my cousin (who up to this day remains a dedicated anime and manga fanatic).

When Elinor broke down when she finally understood that he was single, I couldn't help but laugh when their mom, Mary Ann and Margaret stood up and were awkwardly nudging at each other as if they were telling themselves to hurry up and leave. Hahaa! XD

I liked it when Mary Ann said thanks to Col. Brandon. He strove so hard to win her heart and she finally saw his sincerity.

I suddenly imagined the petite grandmas in the animes I've seen! :D Waaaa! Two rosy-cheeked Buddha babies! Kawaiiiii! :D

RF's roles are really insane. From Amon Geoth to the one he did in Red Dragon and then Voldemort--I'm not surprised the young cast of HP were so intimidated by him!

I haven't seen the Batman films with Christian Bale as Batman. Maybe I'll try those hero movies sometime. I've got so much catching up to do. I haven't even completed the Iron Man series. :P Kekeke!

I'm good then. I liked the movie version and thought Elinor was a combination of Elizabeth and Jane Bennet. More like Jane in her temperament though. It's amazing how people can be so patient!

I've never seen Kate Winslet play an obnoxious role but she really was effective and she reminded me of Lydia in P&P. The movie was really scenic! I liked the rolling hills, the tree house, the old cottages and manors.

I always had this impression that Russians were fair-skinned and dark-haired--I think that is an attractive combination. But I never thought them to be petite. But still, I can imagine you as Snow White with that description! :D Lol at the Buddha statues--they must be cute having smiling eyes and rosy red cheeks.

Wow talk about internalizing a role! You know, that's one thing that fascinates me the most in actors. I wonder how they could get in and out of character. Because I have this belief that for one to be able to internalize a character, you have to give up part of yourself to allow the other person to grow in you. That's the reason why I liked Park Ki Woo so much in Gaksital. He had this twitch he does and he had all sorts of emotions written all over his face.

I can't imagine Ralph Fiennes being sane after the roles that he had done. The man must be a psychopath by now!

I have just finished watching S&S 1995 movie version. But I was wondering if this was the version you wanted me to watch because I realize there is a 2008 BBC one which I overlooked. And surprisingly the description said the screenwriter of the TV series wanted viewers to forget the 1995 Ang Lee version. I don't know what to make of that since I haven't read the book. I want to hear your opinion, unnie.

I'm up for The End of the Affair tomorrow. :)
