Brief television update: Boys Over Flowers, Lie to Me, Castle
Oh, and I totally forgot to mention the absolute best part of BOF episode 23, which was the Ga-Eul/Yijung scenes which absolutely ROCKED MY WORLD and were quite possibly the most undiluted squee I've had the whole frickin series. That was seriously adorable beyond words and made me deliriously happy. They had better have a happy, satisfactory ending or I'm going to take a knife to the streets.
In other news, I tried out both Lie to Me and Castle, and both are excellent in very different ways. Good acting all around in both, which was a pleasant surprise(I think because they've got older actors - no rookies here). Lie to Me is not too serious but just serious enough, with taut writing and a very nice underpinning of seriousness/character development/angst-tragedy - and best of all all the major characters are very likable, decent people. Castle is a more graphic and faster-paced but in some ways smaller-concept show, but Nathan Fillion and Nina whatshername fill their roles with verve and ease and have good chemistry and witty dialogue with again, the nice underpinnings of serious emotion, so I highly advocate this too.
