There, that's better. And to think that I was vowing I'd update this more often. =P Typical me.

I really should have something interesting to talk about, but I'm not sure what. Let me think...

OK, how about one of my latest favorite dramas. =D (Not that anyone's reading this to care, but oh well.)

- On Air: Awesome! The behind-the-scenes feel of it is fascinating and pretty much one-of-a-kind in today's drama scene. I love how they (gently) poke fun at the Asian drama stereotypes (rich guys and Cinderallas with fatal diseases, for one^^). And although the main characters are two men and two women as usual for Korean dramas, don't expect a "lead couple" and two unrequited loves. The relationships are much more complicated than that...and so are the characters. Young Eun is a well-known (and well-paid) scriptwriter with a very strong, distinctive personality (also a divorcee with a young child.) She comes into contact with director Lee Kyung Min, who wants to work with her but offends her quickly when he suggests that her scripts have no depth (a la those rich men and tragic Cinderellas). Young Eun won't cooperate for a long while, for she has a very strong stubborn streak. Gradually, however, the two warm up to each other, as they go through more troubles for the sake of their new drama "Ticket to the Moon."

Which will star Oh Seung Ah. Seung Ah is a famed actress brimming with pride, which sometimes (no, often) gets frustrating because it makes her so incredibly stubborn and arrogant. In fact, Young Eun holds a strong dislike for the actress because she rudely rejected Young Eun's script a few years before. It's clear, however, that she had a reason for becoming so contrary, after spending five years under the thumb of a dictatorial and money-centered management company. Once the contract expires, she goes to Ki Joon, a manager who is struggling after bankruptcy and who happened to have assisted her when he was famous and she was just a teenage celebrity wannabe. Ki Joon also happens to be an old friend of Young Eun. Contracts, conditions, and contradictions ensue with all four of the characters.^^ Plus many twists.

Everyone is linked in some way. In short...watch it! I can't get anywhere near describing everything.

By the way, my laptop crashed a few days ago. Joy. That would be the second computer I have wrecked within a year. *sigh* I have the technology-corruptive version of the Midas touch.
