Life and Kdramas
My exams are finally over and I'm on holidays for all of July. I am so in need of a break - my bosses at work have been telling me how pale I am which is a hell of a thing considering just how pale I usually am.
Right now I'm house sitting for my cousin and his wife while they are in the U.S. They're your typical DINKs (Double Income No Kids) with a fantastic house and two dogs they treat like children. One of the dogs has Addison's Disease (and why wasn't THAT the title of the Grey's Anatomy spin off?) which is a little scary but everything is going fine so far.
I'm continuing on with my new found interest in Korean television.
The latest series I've watched is Witch Yoo Hee which was good but nowhere near as great as Goong. One really interesting thing about Witch Yoo Hee is that it is partly set in a French restaurant and I work in a French restaurant so I got to be all nitpicky. Actually, they've clearly done a lot of research into French cuisine but not so much as to how restaurants actually work. This restaurant has the most bizarre and conveniently flexible opening times ever - sometimes they serve lunch, sometimes dinner and the chef has a night off on Friday.
Um...what the hell ever.
Even more amusing is the lack of research they put into another character's role as a heart surgeon. He says daft things like: "Your heart's had quite a shock."
Actually, dialog was a really big problem for me with this drama. Despite being in another language, it was really apparent that the script could be tighter and funnier.
Anyway, I'm now on the lookout for my next drama. I'm attempting to download The Devil which appears to be a lot darker and stars the delectable Joo Ji Hoon. Then perhaps Full House. The hardest thing with these dramas is waiting for the fansubs to come out and I am not a patient person.
A lot of these dramas are uploaded to Megaupload because those links last for at least a month. However, Megaupload only allows you one download at a time which is a real pain so I'm thinking about getting a paid account. Has anyone got a paid account at Megaupload? I'm wary of handing over my credit card details to places like that so if you can say yay or nay about them I'd really appreciate it.
