REVIEW:Perfume (2019)

This seems like fun. Miss Fatty has turned into Miss Hottie, even her husband doesn’t recognise her. Anyway he’s a psycho and a pathetic, unfaithful, failure as husband and father. So after 12 hours of slim and gorgeous back to Miss Fatty. Miss Fatty is suicidal and lacks confidence but her hero gave her the special perfume. So for 12 hours she’s a completely different person. What a makeover! I want some of dat.
This is sad and funny at the same time. It is a bit cringy with its continuous fat shaming but if you look into the deeper story there is another message it trying to portray. So overcome your abhorrence of the writers unclear foci and embrace the story of a woman trying to find love and hope in her deepest desires. Embrace your own hope of a better you. Yes its played for laughs. Just take everything with a grain of salt. Its not about you personally.

I feel sorry for the guy who allergies and phobias are the focal point of his life. He is such a petty, arrogant, indifferent person who’s centre of interest is himself. So selfish and unfeeling to the difficulties of others. He needs to change himself and his ideas. Just because he is a talent designer he doesn’t have to lord it over his minions. He forgot all his illness and phobias when he realised she had fallen over a cliff. I wondered how long that would last. No long, soon as she is home he’s back to his normal obsessive and cruel self. How can two adults have a food fight? So funny!

Quote: Someone you meet and love will make you shine so bright like no other

Her reunion dinner with her daughter was so touching and her reunion with her husband was fiery as she wacked him with her bag and attacked him as the big girl after she had changed back from the model. He was chasing after her as the model and didn’t know it was still her as she had changed over. He now know its her and he wants her back now she is back to her young self, young, skinny and beautiful. He even ignoring his mistress who want to marry him. She might change her mind when she find out he’s just a womaniser

Shin Sung Rok/Seo Yi Do(the designer) and Kim Min Kyu/Yun Min Suk(the celebrity and singer) are brothers now both saying that they love Go Won Hee/Min Ye Rin / Min Jae Hee (the model). That a turn up for the book because its episode 16 and we have just found out. Then their is her husband the womaniser would has recognised that the new fabulously beautiful model is none other than his fat wife and he wants her back. She has asked for a divorce.


Go Won Hee/Min Ye Rin / Min Jae Hee she is married (Jo Han Chul/Kim Tae Joon [Jae Hee's husband] and got a boyfriend (Kim Min Kyu/Yun Min Suk) but she is kissing (Shin Sung Rok/Seo Yi Do). Its all got a bit strange. What troubles is this going to stir up.

This is getting crazier and crazier with both her husband, boss and a boyfriend all getting involved in her life of change.


We definitely need some of that Perfume.


Miraculous story about the perfume and why it only worked on her

I loved this drama it so crazy that it works. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. You won’t be able to stop watching as you sympathise with the woman who wants to live her dream. For all of us bigger women with a skinny woman living inside us.

Say that I love you to the person you love.

Just started the new one. It’s got a whole different vibe to the first one with even better graphics but hate the dubbed American English accents. I’m watching on Netflix. I prefer the Korean with subtitles. Can’t get my head around the changes yet. Jojo is still so beautiful. The visuals still outstanding, beautiful spring blossoms this time trees just filled with gorgeous blooms and bending branches. Dramatic contrast of the two seasons. Love Alarms computer graphics , magnificent and appropriate for the drama.

There is a lot of symbolism in this drama. We all go through a dark tunnel to come into the light.

That Hwang Sun Oh is just so selfish and arrogant. I forgot about persist and annoying. Please Jojo don’t fall for him, but what’s the odds. Don’t we always fall for the bad boy. Oh! I’m going to.

Just think if we really did rely on a “Love Alarm” in our lives and never actually express how we literally feel.

Lee Hye Young is her rock of true love and friendship. Why can’t she love him. So sad! Why do we make those same mistakes.

Then there are her predictions on her blog “The Ringing World.” Whatever she writes in it seems to come true. How is this happening. I’ve forgotten who knows she is the author.

Stephen McCarty from the South China Morning Post opined that "Love Alarm is not only an innocent love story but also deals with data protection, gay rights, the extreme consequences of heartache, and smartphone invasion.

It is a very clever statement of the world today.

They didn’t know her true story. Cheon Duk Goo was the that understood her the most. He knew sadness and heart ache

I loved Kim So Hyun as a child actor and she has gone from strength to strength. She embraced her childhood memories and sorted herself out

Review: The Legend of White Snake (2019)

Wow! Just started this but want to say that the pictures have such perfect colour so attractive and pleasing to the eye.
Some incredible scenery and backdrops. Impeccable filming and photography. As time passes the technology improves and so does the quality of the cinematology. You just want pause and just look at the unimaginable beauty of the surroundings. These pictures are better than Disney. I just love the images.

So this mortal(human) and demon are in love. He has the love poison but she will give up immortality to save his life to live with him for decades. She will give him her thousand years of cultivation to be with him and suffer every hundred days. Wow! Powerful love. I will give up immortality to have these moments with you vows the White Snake. She has given him her life bead.

Throughout this drama this white snake sacrifices everything for that man(human) she loves so deeply. She brings him back from death. She risks everything for him so many times.

When the green snake meets the white snake for the first time she(the green snake) just totally falls in love with her. She pretending to be a boy and never wants to leave her but changes back to a woman when the white snake says she cannot follow her if she’s a man because its immoral for an unmarried man and woman to be together. From that moment forth they were more than sisters and were always inseparable.

I was thinking is this the monk that falls in love with the green snake? I think he likes her a lot.

The green snake meets the hunter and they hit it off so much first as drinking companions but he likes to collect snake products to sell as medicines. She can’t stand that. Gradually she falls in love with this man but their story becomes a tragedy.

The white snake was in her ideal world but:

2 Nephi 2:11
Book of Mormon
11 For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.

I love these two women(white and green snake) warriors” Mo the whenua, mo nga wahine ko whawhai tonu tatou. For land and women we fight.”
E tino tapu te whenua mena e kore te whenua ko kore te tangata The ground is sacred if there is no ground there would be no people.

I find this awesomely fascinating and compelling watching. Why? Is it the magic? Is it the two snakes? Is it the mysterious story of fantasy? Is it the unusual phenomena? Is it the philosophy and quotable quotes? I can’t tell you. I just keep my eyes glued to the screen so much so that I haven’t written copious notes about the story people or actions like I usually do.

The ending though I wasn’t that happy with it. She just had a baby a chosen reincarnation(the wisdom star) that chose her to be his mother but she give imprisoned in the Leifeng Pagoda until the pagoda collapses or the West Lake dries up. So she must have been there over 25 years before her son whom she hadn’t seen since he was born petitioned the Emperor to inquire of Heaven for his mothers release.

Review:Legend of the Phoenix (2019)
This is long 40+ episodes. It starts off the this circus troop who has this bratty girl Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhiwho seems to get into trouble easily. She develop a crush on Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang who is a strategist. He saves her and the troop from disaster I the palace and she falls in love with him just like snap your fingers.

Dramas sure like these underwater kissing scenes. To me they seem dangerous, complicated and difficult. They fall from a great height into the water and one runs out of breath and the other gives them air. Bit scary too. They swim like mermaids through the water in this one.

Learning to be a maid is so hard for her she can’t control her mouth but I thought her deportment should be good after her circus training but she gets whacked a lot. She is a clever little cookie with little tricks and a nimble mind and mouth now she has got her two sisters into the palace. She better be very careful though its dangerous inside that palace .


Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi has risen up in the hierarchy from maid to official with a title Lord Ye. Her loved one Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang is going to war as a Great Marshall because he wants to clear his fathers name. I think the father, he was killed because one of the palace princesses or concubines fell in love with him? She was following him around in the market. Maybe be he rejected her? Maybe its the queen dowager who is in reign now?

What I have found out. She is the Princess Royal the Emperor Sister. First fact correct - She’s a Princess - Princess Chang the oldest daughter of the Queen Dowager. She is the sister of the Emperor. She is of high rank. The Princess Royal and another brother are stirring up rebellion and maybe the ones that sent the assassins to kill the Emperor and the Queen but weren’t successful.

Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi has risen up in the hierarchy from Lord Ye to Consort Ning wife of the Emperor.

Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi has risen up in the hierarchy from Consort Ning to Noble Consort Ning. The Emperor is madly in love with her. He loved her from the moment he set eyes on her when he saw her perform in some town. She doesn’t feel the same way about him though.

Luo Qiuyun as Ban Ling'er is a faithful maid who wants to serve her because she save Luo Qiuyun as Ban Ling'er life. To save her life Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi had to become the Consort Ning. Luo Qiuyun as Ban Ling'er later becomes the bain of their lives. This mistake caused the the Emperors dreams to come true as he married her to save her Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzh from being killed. But because she wasn’t responding to his love and affection, Luo Qiuyun as Ban Ling'er was able to seduce him. She thought the Emperor really loved her but she pushed him too far.

*I don’t want to make this prediction but don’t tell me at the end she is going to be killed for her lover Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang. Just the everything she has done so far is to protect someone. She tells them the truth that they want to hears and it works but it is never her truth. The truth she tells them makes them angry and they turn away from her but it achieves the goal she wants to achieve. The Emperor only went to save him because she begged him to and now she can’t leave him. The Emperor still doesn’t trust him.

Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang says “I won’t bother you I’ll just watch you from afar.” What a sad love story. True love can be like this. They are both crying. These two know each other so well both will never betray the Emperor. Who can you trust though.

Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi and Empress’ (Cao Xi Wen) are both wives of the Emperor and have men that love them and want to protect them in the palace. They are all frightened but they are a force to be reckoned with and such brilliant strategist but they are walking a tight rope.

Those two’s Viva He Hongshan as Ye Ningzhi and Jeremy Jones Xu as Wei Guang meeting place high upon the highest roof where no-one could see them or reach them. Their shadows held hands and they talked about their goals. They were one heart wanting to save the common people.

What sacrifice these people made for their loves. Wayne Lai as Lang Kun for the love of his Empress he made himself a eunuch.

What shall I say about the ending, me an impatient person who often rants and raves about the writers. Lets say its surprising and those people who get frustrated and annoyed. Let me tell you this don’t stop watching and just go to the very end. When you do that you will learn why I believe this is one of the most amazing, fascinating, moving and incredible Historic Adventure I have ever watched.

Park Ha-sun as Son Ji-eun plays a great part as a quiet and average woman with a small stature and modest appearance who becomes bored with the repetitive life of a small town. She had no intention of being involved with a married man but gradually she let down her guard and became totally besotted with Lee Sang-yeob as Yoon Jung-woo, a biology teacher at an alternative school in the town Ji-eun moves to. He looks at the world with curious eyes and loves nature and animals. They were so similar in interests and personality they just fell for each other. She was starved for affection and his wife had been gone to the States for three years.

The housewife Ye Ji-won as Choi Soo-ah, a housewife married to an owner of a huge publishing company. She seems to be a perfect wife and mother, but she harbours a deep secret within. She had never been in love and was playing the afternoon delights when Jo Dong-hyuk as Do Ha-yoon, a painter who has led a difficult and stressful life, rife with marital and financial difficulties. When he meets Soo-ah, however, the two grow unexpectedly close and their lives become intertwined. He comes to her house to meet her husband when sparks ignite between the two of them. He saw how he treated her like a slave. He had compassion for her and that is how it all started.

The thing is with love, you can’t control it and the heart wants what it wants. “Where the heart goes there is no control.”Quote from “ The Legends 2019”

So funny that the man she’s interested in is her old school mates husband. Ironically she doesn’t know it at the time. The bird( looks like a budgie but they called it a parrot) Love flew out of the cage and out the window. Her husband (Jung Sang-hoon as Ji Chang-kook) is furious the two birds are like his babies, since they don’t have any children. So ridiculous a grown woman wandering about calling out “Love come home”. Instead she meets the then wavering husband (her Lover)Lee Sang-yeob as Yoon Jung-woo in an archway of blowing blossoms. They stand in the pathway staring at each other.

I hope the two kids (students) were watching when he pushed her away. Then she ran away fast. He stood stunned thinking what could have happened. She takes her rejection out on her husband who doesn’t realise he has taken her for granted and hates being called mom. Their love life is nonexistent. His wife(Ryu Abel as Noh Min-young) who has been in the States for three years doesn’t know whats happening with him because their interests are so different. He standing in the shower fully clothed and she finds the umbrella in his bag. Her first suspicion is aroused.

He(lover2) Jo Dong-hyuk as Do Ha-yoon from the other couple said lets never see each other again. Can they stay away from each other? Next time he tells her she is wearing a mask. He’s her first love.

Then here’s the jinx meeting every Thursday at three to five is definitely ………..cheating. Whether they kiss hold hands for more or less its still…….. cheating. They are both married and we saw their wedding rings.

Here I am not wanting these cheating people to get caught because their partners are so uncaring towards them. Is it because I have been in the same boat and had a husband that ill-treated me so I can have sympathy for these four people. Its the two woman actually. They are getting close to getting caught as they are pushing it. The rich husband has spotted them on the beach. What is he going to do? She is looking at her lover so adoringly. They don’t even see him. When they walked passed him. Now its dark he’s even taking photos of them and they don’t notice. He’s going crazy looking in every caravan for for them. They are just strolling arm n arm on the beach,

This story is such a circle of entanglements from the boy(Shin Won-ho as Park Ji-min) who smashed the car window onward. They all became jumbled up together. Rule number one: “ Never get involved with married men” in the long term its to your own detriment and karma comes to bite you in the bum. So what are they doing now they are breaking each others hearts which is a pain worse than child birth. So they are not just giving them the friend zone speech but you are a stranger to me now. Delete my number. Don’t speak to me in the street, just walk on by with no greeting. We are meaningless to each other.

This boy Shin Won-ho as Park Ji-min, Yoon Jung-woo’s student looked familiar to me and turns out. He was an actor in the very first Asian Drama I ever watched “ Legend of the Blue the Sea”. I hadn’t seen him again since. That was in 2016. Even though he’s now 27 he’s still acting young kid roles and he’s good at it.

So we have got to the part where its all turning to custard. Every one finds everything and lightning strikes.

I really feel sorry for these rule breakers and the public is so harsh on these people. Korea democracy still imprisoned people for adultery into 2010.

My curiosity lead me to this.
I found this very thought provoking but I don't think that it is beneficial to the Japanese Community. As a person living in a country thousands of miles from Japan. It depicts Japan as a country riddle with sexual offences that exploits women. Japanese women rise up and fight against this.
For myself I think of Japan as a place of glorious mountains, vivid and unique architecture, cherry blossom and kind hearted people. This drama blew away all of my blissful thinking, but I still want to visit Japan.
The woman Morita Misato acting as Megume was outstanding in vocalising her beliefs about her body freedom but this is just the opinion of just one woman. Most woman do not believe the same as her.
It was interesting learning about the porn industry in Japan. I still think its about the exploitation of females for the enjoyment of men. Japan is so good at that. Remember the history of comfort women. So for my opinion this is a good drama to open your eyes about learning to value women and treat them better. Men we weren’t made purely for your sexual pleasure. There is more to sex than that. Here is just the opinion of one woman.

Terrorist attack bring down plane so many innocent people killed. To get a trillion dollars military plane contract. None of them got their bodies back. The plane landed in the sea. So far his computer has been stolen with all the videoes his nephew took on the plane. One of the office staff killed. He was nearly killed twice and she Suzy/Go Hae Ri was nearly killed by an assassin. Her computer. And copy of the videos stolen. The NIS computer room in Korea has got a virus and only one copy of the videos is left but now has a virus. There is a mole in the NIS office I hope its not Shin Sung Rok/Ki Tae Woong. He looks so spunky as an agent better than he looked in “Perfume”. The moles code name is “Shadow”

211 people died in the crash 108 Koreans. They lost the evidence. Hey! Moon Jung Hee/Jessica Lee [President of John & Mark Asia] has got a copy of the video. Her insurance is it. Lily the killer has arrived at her house. Fresh from killing someone in America. She put up her killing price because he is a good man. Take it or leave it she tell them. She want to do a tour of Korea. Where there are lots of tombs. The boss wants a clean kill no guns or poison. So she wants it to look like and accident. I’m Lily angel of death. Park Ah In/Lily [Professional Killer]

Kim Jung Hyun/Dang Ki-Se he was cruel, ruthless, intimidating and hateful but he was so memorable. I watched “Empress Ki” ages ago but when I see him in another drama or movie his character in this drama comes back to me. How he was the one who spotted her as a woman straight away. He knew all the nuances of a woman and the smell of a woman. He’s got a great part in this drama as minion of those at the top. Jessica is in jail now but his position is still secure.

They are doing bush surgery in the embassy with bare tools that they can find in their. The guys screaming and blood spurting every wear as they are hacking his leg open to find the vein. Then he faints while they carry on trying to save his life.
They are trying to leave Morocco. So its the slow boat to Korea.

I need to edit this because I've finished watching "Vagabond". Loved this drama and was waiting every week for each episode in New Zealand. Outstanding with megastar actors. Is vagabond really finished? No way! They must be one more episode surely it can't end like that. So frustrating. I was thinking to have another rant at the writers bad enough when Arthdal Chronicles ended on a cliffhanger. I tell you it better have a sequel I was so angry when the beginning first episode was actually the end. Oh its not good enough when they do this to us viewers. It is so rage inducing. I would never have watched it if I had known this.

REVIEW:I Hear Your Voice (2013)

If I had known Lee Jong Suk/Park Soo Ha was in this drama I would have watched it ages ago. I found it now and its on Netflix. It has only 18 episodes so a good day solid watch. Its so exciting and kind of romantic, just the way I love Lee Jong Suk. There is a few familiar actors that I have seen before in here so I’m totally ready to watch this.

So he’s a stalker now following the love of his life who stepped up to testify that she had seen a man kill his father when he was young and was about to be the only witness she said she was it and even had photos on her cellphone.

It started with a murder. How could I be so naive to think that this could be just a nice little romance. It turned into a nightmare. Kim Hae Sook/[Jang Hye Sung's mother] was killed by the first murderer. He was lying to the prosecutor saying he didn’t kill the very first victim and Jang Hye Sung was wrong when she said that she saw him kill the driver with an iron bar. When she said there was not only her Jong Hye Sung who was a witness but there was another witness as well and that witness was her Lee Da Hee/ Seo Do Yeon The prosecutor. He stopped speaking then.

Her mum last words were “people who harm you are just jealous. Don’t hate those people have sympathy for them. Feel sorry for them. Okay!” The murderer was with her at the time and listening to every word she spoke. He idea was to turn the daughter into a vengeful savage. The mother was confident that she had taught her well and that would never happen. The mother continued saying “ Promise me. Don’t waste your life hating someone. Okay??? You only live once. There’s barely enough time to love people. Okay! Good! Good Thats my daughter ” Don’t do it girl don’t go against your mother’s advice. She supported you through thick and thin and believed in you. Just have faith in your mums words.

A colleage in her office her now boyfriend is forced to defend her mothers killer. He is finding a way to get him off the hook. There must be some truth stories like this where the perpetrator is released through lack of evidence.

How come in this day and age homes in Korea do not have automatic washing machines and still stamp on their clothing in a plastic tub.

Their aquarium looks like our Kelly Tarletons in New Zealand.

Lee Jong Suk/Park Soo Ha is such a good actor. I’m glad I found this one now he’s gone into the Military. He’s only about 23 years old when he was in this drama. He’s so good. I think I need to bring him up on my favourites lists of actors. He got the cutest, sweetest shy smile. Flip flop my heart.

So in Korea they don’y get an automatic jury trial for murders like in New Zealand.

Bits of this drama is so sad, especially when she is trying to cut him out of her life. She is so ruthless, cruel and heartless to him. Telling him he never like her and she hated him. The other lawyer Yoon Sang Hyun/Cha Kwan Woo trying to make her his girlfriend, He has all the advantages, same age, same jobs, same intellectual level. He Lee Jong Suk/Park Soo Ha is starting to remember things.

So hard to put yourself into the position of the other person and make a decision about your own life and the process you are going through without malice. So this is “double jeopardy” Korean Styles.

Gee they drag it on sometimes instead of just spitting it out and getting to the point. Just tell him she is not dead already putting them through the mill.

AHHHhhh! Its over now but such great drama. You can tell it pretty good when you watch all night without getting tired and its daylight without you noticing and then you keep watching all day a still don’t get tired. Lots of humorous bit keep up your interest and you laugh out loud.

This Abyss is really scary. the girlfriend Han So-hee as Jang Hee-jin. Cha Min's fiancée who mysteriously disappears before the wedding. She is being held captive by the serial murderer Lee Sung-jae as Oh Yeong-cheol A skilled surgeon who is referred to as a legend in the medical community. He says: “When humans are no longer useful they are just like bugs” after he runs her over. His own daughter.

This is freaky he’s (Ahn Hyo-seop as Cha Min) died twice now and the temporary owner of the Abyss is(Park Bo-young as Go Se-yeon) and she’s terrified. She doesn’t know what to do………….. cliffhanger wait for the next episode. Oh no the next revived was not her but the murderer. Is he going to really die now???

This is a tense, stressful and scary movie. I think that it is a bit of a horror story, even though two of the main characters are so handsome. One of them is a murderer same as his dad. So far I have discover, there are three killers. The worst serial killers has killed so many people. He has a son and a daughter(Han So-hee as Jang Hee-jin), he had his daughter imprisoned in an underground prison, she has escaped she is not a killer. She was the fiancee of the main character (Ahn Hyo-seop as Cha Min). He (Lee Sung-jae as Oh Yeong-cheol) has a son (Kwon Soo-hyun as Seo Ji-wook) a handsome one who is a prosecution lawyer but, who is a killer. He(Oh Yeong-cheol) has a wife who he told his son to kidnap. So this is the genealogy of a killers family.

This drama updates every week. I started this over a month ago. I have been watching it off and on but I’m not keeping up to date. It frightens me so much. Those two killer guys are so clever and now they have got a girl helping them. The killer has got the Abyss.

I’m going to finish watching this all the episodes are up and I’ve calmed myself down for the next episodes.

Funniest proposal ever: Lee Si-eon as Park Dong-cheol and his girlfriend. He says he doesn’t want to inconvenience Mi-do and promises to just be on guard and stay out of the way, then proceeds to pester her until she literally throttles him. She’s screaming about how annoying he is, but he blurts out, “Let’s try it! Marriage. Let’s give it a try.” While Mi-do is stunned silent, he puts a diamond ring in her hand. Mi-do bursts into tears, and Dong-chul (clearly at his most romantic) smacks her and threatens to take the ring back if she doesn’t stop.

Second time he had to revive a serial killer Kwon Soo-hyun as Seo Ji-wook to tell him where Park Bo-young as Go Se-yeon or she’ll die. This part is so stressful his sister has run him over and killed him because he has killed their mother.

What doesn’t sit well with me is even though Kwon Soo-hyun as Seo Ji-wook was a serial killer he should not have been convicted of the murder of Park Bo-young as Go Se-yeon because she was still alive.

Yass! I managed to watch the whole thing but the ending got complicated and I’m not sure that I got it. I’ll have to watch it again someday. Anyway viewers watch this if your into science fiction, fantasy, magical themes and make up you own mind whether you liked it or not. I liked it with some reservations about the clarity of the story line and the confusing ending.

”The most important thing is what you have in your heart."

Just started this but seems like the contemporary modern Japan is clashing with the traditional. I’m interested in culture so this has got me hooked. Such an interesting study on what is happening to Japanese children in 2010 and now reflecting on Japan in 2021 and the Covid-19. I can see why the Japanese want the Olympics to carry on in spite of the pandemic. Have they become robots?

It discusses how the calligraphy of the written letter convey feeling. I remember doing calligraphy with my class when I was teaching. Calligraphy has a freedom of expression not found so much in our cursive writing but it is possible to analyse that English text as well and get the feelings of the writer. The writing itself tells a story.

The Shodo competition is where you have to face your inner self you have to cooperate with your team mates. They want to take part in it. Their teacher gives them permission to enter. He is an out there extrovert with new and different ideas to the normal tradition Japanese. There is only three of them in the club. They need five people to be able to participate.

They go out recruiting. One a girl who wants to lose weight and a boy who like Shinko. The boy get in an accident breaks his leg and can’t participate. They need another member.These are the members of the club: Shinko Sumida, Takuya, Misato Satsukawa, Tohko Tenyru, Mimiko Iijima, Michiru Takamizawa came in at the end to make up the numbers but already a great calligraphter.

Their teacher(mr Yashiro) said”The most important thing is what you have in your heart. You can give a small light of hope for the world.”

Their first team practice is a shambles but so hilarious. Everyone has a story to tell. Shodo is a way of telling your story.

The education system has the herd mentality with no room for individuality or creativity. No wonder so many Japanese young people commit suicide when they cannot come up to the high academic standards no matter how hard they work. They say stay in the given box or you become a loser. How many times did I tell my children in my class “even if you are not clever or academic gifted, you have other talents. Pursue those. You are not a failure! You can speak two languages. You are bilingual. Bilingual speaker are divergent thinkers.” Sadly in this story in Japan. Divergent thinkers are not valued.

Get a bit sad near the end when comes the day of the Shodo Competition demonstrations. They were stunning in their creation of NO SURRENDER!

Exhilarating

We have been waiting for Lee Joon Gi return nearly two years.

So it’s started with him tied up underwater in a swimming pool. So the first minute already tension for us viewers seeing our favourite in that position - locked up underwater struggling.

The daughter is scared of her grandmother. The grandparents aren’t very friendly no wonder she is scared. They are stoic and taciturn.

3 Aug 2020
So far I just love it. It's exciting and scary although he is seen to be a killer I can see how he can justify what he does. During his school life he was harassed by bullies and then in his young adult life one of his friends stabbed him and stole his wallet. I love his acting and the drama certainly keeps you on your toes and wanting to know more. So we are waiting for the next episode.

The kiss was sweet and beautiful and yes very hot but I thinks it's normal for married couples who still totally love each other to show passion in their private kisses in their own home.These two have very strong chemistry so why not show it.  Love this drama so much so far.

It’s so exciting and scary and I’m going to say it now right in the beginning I don’t believe out hero that we love so much is a killer. The part where he is tied up underwater is so terrifying.

17/08/20
My theory so far:
That Lee Joon Gi’s acting, his eyes and faciles are always descriptive and tell so much about how he feel and thinks. The way he gazes, concentrates and the movement of the muscles on his face. Each drama he plays is so ingenious, tremendous, and incredible. As I have been watching this drama progress I believe his sister is the one who killed the guy she was protecting her self from being raped. Then the brother takes the knife and acts that he is the one who killed the head man. That’s my theory so far. I’m excited to discover the real truth of behind this brutal saga of mysteries, but I don’t believe that he is a killer everything so far is circumstantial. I believe that he truly loves his wife and child but because of his experiences he thinks that he is the same as his father.

Woah! These two Moon Chae WonCha Ji Won and Lee Joon Gi/Baek Hee Sung get some hot and heavy action in this drama. It is actually more natural that this happens as they have been separated for awhile and they have both been through a traumatic experience. So it’s normal to release all of their tension throughout their sexual expressions. Too much Lee Joon Gi, bring it on. This story is compelling and intriguing. It is holding me spellbound and captivated with all of its twists and turns.

Seo Hyun Woo Kim Moo Jin has met up with his first love (Jang Hee JinDo Hae Soo) who is also Baek Hee Sung’s sister. He’s all nervous and babbling like a lunatic. He’s getting all romantic and she is flabbergasted. Then she tells him she killed the village Headman. (Just like I suspected). Seems like the sister loves and adores her little brother and just like he feels the same about her. She’ll do anything to protect him same as him to her. So they are very close siblings but haven’t kept in touch. So they will protect each other. They have always protected one another. He listens to her and follows her directions as he the younger sibling.

Baek Hee Sung is perceptive he knows that Kim Moo Jin is still attracted to his sister and is getting irked with him giving sad eye and long looks at his sister. So he tells him that his real objective is to get back with his sister. Then he reminds his sister that she and Kim Moo Jin broke up because he said she had creepy eyes. Kim Moo Jin called him abnormal, useless and has no human feelings.

Meantime Baek Hee Sung and Cha Ji Won are going to visit the fathers old workshop at night time (scary). She is putting him through hell. She put him under psychological pressure, she is killing him. Personally as a viewer I can’t help but feel for him. In other words I just can’t stand it. Its like she is deliberately setting him up to break him down. Lee Joon Gi you are an outstanding actor.
He(LJG) is unbelievably handsome now and his multi-talents make us cling to him like there is no tomorrow. Each moment watching him perform is ecstatic, rapturous. and thrilling. He enchants and delights us. We can't wait for the next moment of his drama. At the moment its "Flower of Evil".
He said that he doesn’t love his wife Cha Ji Won. He doesn’t know what love feels like. So sad because she heard him say it.
The music is so powerful and compelling in this drama that it moves your heart and makes you want to stop and just listen to it. It goes so perfectly with the visuals.

03/09/20
I knew from the very beginning that this drama was going to upset me and make me cry but because of Lee Joon Gi I couldn’t resist watching it. Now I’ve got to the part where he’s heart broken and so who else’s is heart broken. Yep! All of us viewers are just distraught that he’s having a bad time. He is in such pain he can not leave her. He doesn’t know that it is because of love for her.

I know how Moon Chae WonCha Ji Won feels as her husband is going into unknown turf to find the truth of his past. It is so stressful. I’m holding my breath that we can get past this. I feel for the two of them. They are both impressive actors drawing us all into this web of deceit, intrigue, lies and coverups. A puzzle that is slowly unfolding.

Finally and slowly the story is starting to come out and we are learning who the bad guys are. An exceptional and superior story is being revealed here by these magnificent characters. Every episode is electrifying, thrilling and dramatic. I’m hardly making it pass episode 11.
Love this. When he starts crying he can't stop. Reminds me of myself. Then he doesn't know why he's crying so terribly, sadly sweet. He has loved her for 14 years but it the first time that he has acknowledge his deep and passionate love for her. Then knowing it makes him cry. He's hidden it even from himself but his actions have spoken louder than his words. She has always known it.
I keep watching bits of this drama over and over drinking in every moment of his scenes. I’m so addicted.
In the episode 11, Do Hyunsoo finally realizes his love for Cha Jiwon and lets out an emotion for the first time, breaking down in tears. It’s as if the floodgates just opened, he was completely awash with emotions, a mix of confusion, fear, and pain, which Lee Joongi depicted so thoroughly in his heart-wrenching performance, leaving viewers brokenhearted.
“Kim Moojin is a difficult character because he’s hard to pin down. But Seo Hyunwoo has done a wonderful job of making him a vivid character. At the gathering he had with Hyunsoo and Haesoo, I realized once again what a valuable presence he is in our drama, like an oasis in the desert.”
What we have found out the real Baek Hee Sung is the accomplice of Do Min Seok but has been in a coma for 14 years because after he hit Hyun Soo with his car his mum discovered the souvenirs of his work in his bedroom. She found him burying a living Hyun Soo in their garden and she stabbed him. It put him in a coma and they then swapped identities. So 14 years of a peaceful existence but now, is it the reign of terror now he has awoken from his long sleep? He’s killed the housekeeper.
The tension:- Woah! Scary! My heart is beating so fast. I haven’t even watched it with English sub so I don’t really know what is going on but I’m terrified for all the characters I really care about especially Hyun Soo and his family. I want them to be safe but the writers and producers are drawing every bit of emotion out of us. We are petrified for them all. That killer Baek Hee Sung is a nightmare. I wonder what made him like that.
The Baek are one step ahead of them.
Now Jeong Mi Sook the last victim of Do Min Sook and Baek Hee Sung has appeared out of the woodwork. She is being held captive b Yeom Sang Chul the people trader. Another twist. Her husband was the one who tried to drown Hyun Soo. Now he is being threatened again. It implies that his family is not safe. He is losing the control that he held together for 18 years.
Episode 14
So scary! Now Beak Hee Sung has stabbed Haesoo and taken Cha Jiwons name tag. He’ll know what she looks like. Does he know that it wasn't her that he stabbed? Still so many questions. At least he didn’t take the little girl Eun Ha but please save Haesoo. Why did Cha Jiwon let Haesoo take her baby home?Haesoo will do anything to protect her baby brother as he has done the same for her.
I feel for our hero. Let's hope we get out happy ending. This is the best romance in a drama our Prince has ever had but it’s so scary. He's such a thrilling actor that has all the moves but can he win against the real serial killer.
Episode 15
I feel so nervous going to open this episode. I saw the trailer and I’m frightened for Hyun Soo and his family. I hope they are going to be okay and that Haesoo is going to survive the stabbing and Eun Ha is safe.
This drama has a big reveal at the very start of the episode then and epic cliffhanger end and this beginning is scary. Kim Moo Jin meets up with Do Min Sook in the basement he is exploring. He tell him that the thing struggling in a large sack is a deer.

Oh! The tension is so much when Hyun Soo is explaining to Jeong Mi Sook what is going on and she is like a scared deer in a cage. He thinks he got it all worked out and I hope that he does. I can’t handle it I’m taking a breather……………….go get a drink. He so fascinating and he gets that tiny little twitch on his lower right cheek. It’s hardly noticeable but it makes him unique and totally believable and makes us just watch him so closely. As an actor he just the bomb.

English subs haven’t come out and I’m doing this by guess. It’s so harsh what he has to go through. I’m crying again. Baek Hee Sung was taunting Hyun Soo but both didn’t know the truth. We had that dramatic irony. The audience knows but the players don’t. Then Hyun Soo turned the tables and was making Baek Hee Sung fearful when he HS was describing what he was doing to do to him. Now he’s just distraught thinking that Cha Jiwon is dead. So he’s out to kill the killer but not straight away, he’s stabbing him and letting him go. Then chasing him again.
This part of him terrorizing his opponent is comprehensible and explicit. As a viewers we understand his heartbreak. This drama is just so superior.
What an episode end. You better not let him die …… writers
Episode 16
The last episode and I have watched without English subs. It is sad but we do get our happy ever after but not until we have been dragged those the mud with his brain injury causing to relapse into his Alexithymia. Then relearn about his love for his wife and child. She was patiently waiting.
In their discussion n the car they are trying to clarify their true feelings for each other but coming to no conclusion. Since he has forgotten about their 14 years together. His mind has forgotten but his body remembers. He keeps buying egg tarts his daughter’s favour snack. Moo Jin’s fridge is full of them. He doesn’t know why he keeps buying them. He doesn’t remember his daughter. She is so sad because she hasn’t seen him.
He is such a wonderful actor.
I loved this drama so much the acting of Lee Joon Gi is impeccable. He knows how to draw out our deepest emotions.
I'm going to really miss this cast. Congratulation on your superlative production. The music I must mention was just superb it helped to pull at the heart strings and I played them over and over. Its not often that I get hooked into the music as well.

Review:-The Fiery Priest (2019)

The Priest Kim Nam Gill is using his Bidam like skills on these bad people. Love it. So happy that this is now on Netflix and I can watch the whole thing and not just bits. It starts hard and goes hard. He’s so awesome. We so love his fighting skills makes us just fangirl all over him. Such a babe. He looks big with his priest gears on but underneath his clothes he’s still the slim gorgeous guy we know and love.

He was an undercover agent for the NIS who became a priest. He looks so immaculate in black, love him. He is so good at acting and in this drama he’s funny too. I have missed watching this formidable, impressive and terrifying actor.

It really is a sad story about the other Priest that was murdered and made out to be a molestor and a thief when he was one of the good ones and he wasn’t allowed to be buried in the cemetery because they said that he had committed suicide. I don’t understand those catholic ways/traditions. So that priest had saved his life after he had been attacked and was dying. That is how he became a priest.

Oh this is so much better than the previews I watched and so deserving of the all the awards that it won for 2019. This is the cleverest and funniest Korea Drama I have ever watched. I love these Korean women when they play badass fighters. Geum Sae Rok/Seo Seung Ah was the one in this one a new young Korean actor I hadn’t seen before. She was so cool.

This drama has everything in it, thrills, spills, crime, comedy, mystery, friendship, drama and badass action from both males and females. Its such an incredible and powerful drama played by amazing and extraordinary actors. Most of them with superb and astounding Martial Arts talents expertise and techniques.

The Priest Kim Nam Gil/Kim Hae Il / Michael is up against some ruthless, heartless and vindictive foe not just the criminals but his old adversaries from his secret agent history. All of them relentless , cruel and merciless. All trying to hurt him deeply because of some grudge that have against him. They are mercenaries hired by Kim Min Jae/Lee Joong Kwon [NIS agent] to hurt him and his friends. They all served together in the NIS. This ex-agent has driven the priest over the edge. Right till the end they kept using his loved ones as bait to aggravate his anger because he Kim Hae Il had anger issues that he had little control over.. The last episode was reminiscent of Bidam when his enemies brought 15 men to fight him. Seems like they were jealous of his efficiency and his clinical nature when working. It wasn’t as gory as Bidam because he didn’t have a sword but he was just as determined and effective. It was like a fighting show. Its like Bidam gets his redemption ……. Just my opinion.

Go Joon/Hwang Cheol Bum was the protagonist in this drama but I couldn’t help but feel something pitiful for this guy. One of those bad boys that make your heart flutter during parts of the story and you had to admire his fighting skills. The mercenaries are after him as well. He’s a spunk when he’s dress up in normal clothes and not his usual over dressing. Although broken hearted,upset and seemed to have killer instincts he still seemed to have a heart. His men meant a lot to him even though he treated them cruelly at times.

I never thought a drama about a priest could be so fine and so well constructed or that I would enjoy it so much but Kim Nam Dam over extended himself. So worthy of being on my favourite actors list. Such an outstanding drama. Woah!

She has come from another time so she in independent and outspoken, thus surprising the group of of 8 surviving Prince’s who are used to more subdued woman. From the very beginning it touched my heart how she had time travelled from her time back into the Historic times of Goryeo Dynasty of Korea. She ends up in the Princes outdoors bathing room. A naturally heated pool where the Princes cleansed themselves and bathed in the natural springs. They were shocked when she appeared there.

Then her cousin Park Si-eun as Lady Hae8th prince Wang Wook's wife and Hae Soo's cousin dies and she is left alone. She is ordered to marry the King as an alliance with her cousins family but she cuts her own arm with a shard from a vase she breaks and avoids the marriage but most of the Prince’s are in love with her. They are so happy she didn’t marry their father and instead becomes a Court Lady under concubine Oh. She is one of the kings favourites.

Lee Joon-Gi/4th Prince. Wang So, he is the grouchiest and the most arrogant he’s always telling her off but deep down he has and unwavering affection for her. He shows her around his favourite hidden places in the place gardens and warns her not to trust anyone. He watches over her from a distance.

The crown Prince Kim San-Ho / 1st Prince Wang Moo the Crown Prince has a variety of aliments and infections on his body like boils or allergy rashes. Hae Soo from modern times knows how to help him. He learns to trust her medications.

A general Sung Dong-il as General Park Soo-kyungand his Tomboy daughter Z Hera/Park Soon Deok [Park Soo Gyeong's Daughter of the General. She has loved 10th Prince Wang Eun from childhood and got to be his wife. Has arrived at the palace. It was not easy for her to get the Prince to love her back as he already loved Hae Soo. The General has been the 4th Prince. Wang So, mentor and teacher. Especially teacher of the Martial Arts. His daughter has the same skills. He has a love for the Prince So and is his greatest supporter. Park Soon Deok was funny when she asked her husband will she get pregnant after they were kissing for the first time.

Lee Joon-Gi/4th Prince. Wang So house riding skills are phenomenal and he takes her (Hae Soo) away with him for an all night ride all the way to the seashore to watch the sunrise. She is the only one he can trust of confide in. Episode 11-12 is hard to take when he knowingly drinks the poisoned tea meant for the Crown Prince and he almost dies. He was trying to save Hae Soo and the Crown Prince but she was still imprisoned and tortured. His character is really a sweetheart and so genuine in his conversation and his feelings but pressured by external events and politics. He falls deeper and deeper in love with her because of her great compassion, sympathy and caring nature. This is why as viewers we love this drama so much. Lee Joon Gi acting as Wang So the 4th Prince brings a heart felt dimension to this character that moves us so much as the viewer. So we watch this over and over just to see his wonderful portrayal of this outstanding character that he has brought to life in our hearts and minds. We love him, LJG so much.

I can't understand people complaining about his acting and the acting of the brother sibling. It is because of Hae Soo interfering nature why she always get in trouble. When she about to be executed her boss comes to her rescue and takes the blame.en years before someone send her poison and she miscarried the Kings baby. So just 10 years earlier her and the king were still sleeping together. She is a concubine. She tells the King she doesn’t want to lose another child to Queen Yoo. She Lady Oh will take the place of Hae Soo. She is dying anyway.

Hae Soo went outside the Kings residence to kneel to beg for Lady Oh life to be spared. She is already in a weakened state after being tortured. Looks like she has sustained a deep injury to her leg. The Nam Joo-Hyuk 13th Prince Wang Wook (Baek-A) comes to talk to her but she doesn’t listen. He tells her Lady Oh is doing this to save her and she is just angering the King. He said he’ll go prepare medicine for her and she asks for the 8th Prince but he is forced to abandon her because of what he knows. She’s been kneeling for two days without food and water. The rain comes. Everyone has been forbidden by the King to help her. Who comes to her aid to shelter her with his cloak and stand with her in the rain none other than the one that loves her the most and will risk his life and the wrath of the King ………… Yes who else but Lee Joon-Gi/4th Prince,Wang So. While others stand aside and watch. 8th Prince Wang Woo walks away. I think that this was Wang So’s greatest moment in this drama. I was so proud of him. The two youngest Princes were kneeling to the side. Wang So was send away as an ambassador to Jin as punishment for assisting Hae Soo but asked for her to be taken care of.

I hated and detested the character of Park Ji Young/Dowager Empress Yoo [Tae Jo's 3rd Queen and mother of the 3rd Prince, 4th Prince and 14 Prince ). This evil queen wanted Goryeo to belong to one of her son. She got her wish but it went to the son that she had disowned. Karma gets you. She’ll do anything to put her son on the throne. She even stopped to gloat when the Lady Oh was being lead away to her execution because Lady Oh was her greatest rival and the Kings confidant. The King loved her.

s soon as Lee Joon-Gi/4th Prince,Wang So left the palace Hae Soo was kicked out by the King. She becomes a Gyobang water maid doing washing.
A year later when Wang So comes back and finds Have Soo gone he refuses to do what the King has asked him to do. He goes straightaway to find her at her job, to hug her and greet her and tell her that he missed her. She makes him take off the mask that he has been wearing again. He is so demanding and never lets her do her own thing. She has to give him the put down “When I meet you I remember every thing that I want to forget.” His broken hearted face is too much ……… for me to look at. He has deep thoughts in his caring for her. He’ll give up everything to make her happy. I like Wang So saying to Wang Wook”Your uselessness makes me shake with anger.” At the point of episode 13 she should have married Wang So when he asked her.

I love Lee Joon-Gi/4th Prince,Wang and Hae Soo together LJG and UI have strong chemistry together.

Seo Hyun/Gisaeng Woo Hee [Last Princess of Hubaekje] has been self harming herself. She has scar cuts on her arm. The Nam Joo-Hyuk 13th Prince Wang Wook (Baek-A) is in love with her. They are lovers but she is not sure of her alliance with the Kings rules. She is planning to assassinate the King during her dance routine at the Peace Summit. He(13th Prince) is an excellent Prince with the qualities of charming, delightful and likeable man. The happy Prince the beautiful man reads her dance moves and gets in front of her sword and she stabs him instead of the King. His father the King killed her whole family she was the only one left that is why she has antagonisms.

II didn’t realise it was Kang Ha-Neul 8th Prince Prince Wang Wook what was putting mercury poison in the King Kim San-Ho / 1st Prince Wang Moo the Crown Prince bath. I thought it was the sneaky 9th prince, Wang Won (Yoon Sun Woo) who frequently causes trouble behind the scenes. Quietly causes mayhem without getting caught for a very long time. This guy was actually the baddest Prince who managed to put the blame on tho everyone but himself but he got his Karma in the end. The 8th Prince is one of the cleverest of the brothers and he is behind the scenes manipulating them. Hae Soo is shocked to earn that the 8th Prince poisoned the King.

Z Hera/Park Soon Deok and her husband the 10th Prince Wang Eun are fleeing from the King’s men when they are cornered. He 3rd Prince Wang Yo has put out a rumour that Wang Sun grandfather has caused the coup. She, Park Soon Deok is the better fighter and is protecting her husband. He is pleading for their lives from their brother. She is wounded from behind by a soldier. He comfort and consoles her and says” we will go together” as she dies. The king his brother shoots two arrows into him. Wang So the 4th prince tries to protect him. Jung the 14th Prince arrives and Wang So goes to his aid as the Kings arrow strikes the other brother. The younger talks about his birthday and the gift only he can give. Then he talks bout his wife that he can’t let her go alone “so give me the gift only you can give me so I can go with her.” He’s begging Wang So to kill him. Although it stresses him to the max and tears are streaming down his face. He stands up takes up his sword, Scream out and swings it. Silence reigns the Wang So laugh maniacally and crying at the same time stands up and walks away. Just shocked at what he had just done.

I was like a moth to a flame and so close to it that I nearly got my wings burnt. So why? First of the language and the poetic ways, the history, the wonderful actors (the Princes) (they had their own little stories),the imagery, the horse riding (I’ve got a thing for horses), the costumes, the scenery, the romance between the 4th Prince and Hae Soo and the story itself. This girl from the future changed history and made all these Princes fall in love with her because she was different. All the little problems she encountered and experienced. How she solved them in her own way but also complicated conditions and relationships so that eventually she had to leave the palace because she didn’t really understand the politics of that society and that it was impossible to change what has been set for a thousand years into mere weeks and months. So there were many experiences that for the viewer tore at the hearts and minds. Despite the kings total love and commitment to her he couldn’t get over the politics. They shared some tender moments that will be engraved on your heart, moving, poignant, emotional, heart wrenching and sweet. These will keep you locked into their love story to the very end. No you don’t get the ending you want but their story will keep you coming back for more and reliving again all those fragile, affectionate, loving and sometimes treacherous times. Its not all about the love, some of it is about the hate and the betrayal, the insidious double dealing. That betrayal is what breaks her heart and its not even his duplicity. It is also a story of revenge, become king and I will remember the evil you and yours have done to me. All of my spitefulness, malevolence and vindictiveness will take satisfaction.

I have finished watching this again. It is still my favourite of all favourites. Despite the sad parts there is something very addictive about this fascinating drama

Review:Doctors (2016)

I like Park Shin Hye/Dr. Yoo Hye Jung in here she is so good at fighting and its just the first episode. I have never even seen her in a role like this before. So exciting and fun. Lots of actors in here that I have seen before so it must be good.

She has a lovely Nana Kim Young Ae/Kang Mal Soon [Hye Jung's grandmother] (ep.1-3)who loves her.

Park Shin Hye/Dr. Yoo Hye Jung has got the street smarts and her friend Lee Sung Kyung/Dr. Jin Seo Woo has got the brain who going to help her study. Their other friend is fun and friendly Moon Ji In/Chun Soon Hee [Hye Jung's best friend] but not as brainy as the other two. Chun Soon Hee becomes her friend for life.

Isn’t it sad when sometimes its only our grandma that loves us. All my growing up years my grandma was already old but she loved me the most. She carried me for miles on her back. She taught me how to ride a horse. I slept with her all the time and she just loved me. I miss her. She wasn’t beautiful but for me she had a heart of gold. Everything she did was for me. When she was 70 she was still riding her horse then she got bone cancer and died when she was 80.

She saved the first Lee Sung Kyung/Dr. Jin Seo Woo girls life but she caused her problems because of her jealousy. This would continue in their adulthood but Dr. Yoo Hye Jung had only gratefulness in her heart for Dr. Jin Seo Woo because she taught her how to study.

Park Shin Hye/Dr. Yoo Hye Jung a most remarkable, tallented and intelligent woman that started as a street fighting hooligan into an extraordinary neuro surgeon. Without help from others she worked her way up the hierarchy of doctors through sheer determination and guts. It was her experiences as a teenagers that transformed her from that hot tempered child to the caring, compassionate doctor. First her learning experiences with Kim Rae Won/Prof. Hong Ji Hong a clever, warm hearted and sympathetic teacher and the death of her kind and indulgent grandmother, Kim Young Ae/Kang Mal Soon [Hye Jung's grandmother] (ep.1-3, they were the ones that impelled her to change her life.

She was never close to her dad Jung Hae Kyun/Yoo Min Ho [Hye Jung's father] whom she blamed for the death of her mother. As a teenager he was cold and uncaring towards her so he reaped her anger, aloofness and indifference when she was an adult. She never wanted to be or tried to be close to him. This hurt him as he didn’t understand want he had done to her as a child. Reminds me of me and my youngest daughter. We are not close. She believes that I hurt her emotions as a child.

My recommendation for this drama, I enjoyed her lifestory and her growing love for the man who fell in love with her when she was so young. She was in his heart the moment she came into his life. He tried to run away from it but fate brought them back together 13 years later.

The filming and cinematology are outstanding, beautiful night shots of the city. The kissing scenes are delightful and the filming of them clear and well positioned. I love the scenes of them dancing in the rain, walking in the park and bike riding.

Outstanding acting from the actors and those two little sick boys(Go Woo Rim/Nam Hae [Ba Ram's son](Ep.13-14)and Jeon Jin Seo/Nam Dal [Ba Ram's son](Ep.13-14) stole my heart, so cute and talented.

REVIEW: Can't understand why people don't like it. These are the facts of life. To be leaders anywhere, community, church, employment, home. Women have had to fight every step of the way. To get the vote even. Glad I live in New Zealand where us women enlightened men early in the countries history. Women have had to be twice as good as men but here in New Zealand we proved that women can do anything.
You Bastard! I’m going to hammer a nail into you. If this wasn’t a serious problem. It would be so funny. Just watching this drama is a crack up. Harassment! Harassment! Harassment! All the different kinds of harassment: moral, sexual, power, age, All of those are critiqued in this drama. Would be great resource for a university paper. Scammer Alert! When a guy asks you for a large amount of money you got to check it out first. Marriage fraud !
To all my people reading my reviews in facebookland and other place on the net. Watch this one, especially women you’ll love it. It doesn’t get bogged down in complex misunderstanding but is like a fast moving nonstop rain that ploughs through all obstacles. This young woman she’s the pride of the firm. Well she should be. He father taught her well and whenever she loses her temper these words come out of her mouth and she snaps. You Bastard! I’m going to hammer a nail into you. Then she just hoes into whoever she’s got a gripe with. So great for women. Go you Japanese women stick up for yourselves and don’t let those men walk all over you.
