Drama schedule (and a bit on Manny)
So, my current drama watching list is as follows (I am only including dramas I am actively watching).
China:
Jade Palace Lock Heart
Three Kingdoms
Taiwan:
K.O. 3an Guo
Korea:
49 Days
Can You Hear My Heart
Crime Squad
New Tales of the Gisaeng
I think the list shall stay pretty much the same (though I am woefully behind on my kdramas) until the new batch of kdramas arrive in May. None of the upcoming twdrama/cdrama offerings interest me, and as to kdramas - I am going to check out Royal Family and Thorn Birds properly when they finish airing (I liked the first eps for both but they really are dramas better off watched in a marathon).
Oh, and I tried Manny.
No.
Just. No.
It's not a bad drama, but entirely not to my tastes.
1. The title. Manny. Unless you name is Manuel and you prefer diminutives, nobody should be referred to this way. I hate this word with a passion, the way I hate portmanteau words in general. What next, a drama called 'Absitively?"
2. I have a (reasonable or not) prejudice against male nannies. I'd never entrust my kid to one. (Not that I would be keen to entrust one to a female one, either).
3. I was till willing to give it a chance because I adore Suh Ji Suk, but then he came on my screen and I had to stifle a gasp. WTF? Did a labrador die on his head? Just no.
So yes, not for me.
