Thank you so much for the link! And I loved loved loved the review. This is like the good old days of LeeCaps. Considering the events that are looming on the horison, I certainly need all the cheer I can get.

There will be the Hand's Tournament, before everything bad wis going to start happening. I loved the Hand's tournament.

I know! this means I am Lj-ing for six years as I "found" LJ through your Leecaps.

It was great! I agree with your comments on editing, BTW. The odd changes between scenes are odd. I wonder if the creators are trying to emulate the POV structure of the books, but personally, it takes me a couple of seconds every time to re-adjust.

Also: Jon Snow kick ass, take names, and look morose. This was awesome!

I just fell in love with this show and had to spoil myself. I almost wish I hadn't. So sad. I'd really love to chat with you about it sometime, the show def makes me want to read the books. (sadly I am in my midterms and that may kill my educational career.) LoL but yeah, I'm a little confused with who everything one is and all the different connections, but the internet is handy.

Thank you so much for the reply and your POV! The books are great. But I am of school of thought that books are always better. :D

I will not spoil you, then. :D

I often ponder on "what did we do before the Internet?". It certainly makes all things easier.

Hey, no problem. Take it easy, okay? Sounds like you were super busy.

Btw, So Yi-hyun, the actress who played Mi-ran in StS was cast in You've fallen for me as the second female lead and guess who's the second male lead (although he totally is first male lead material!)? But my Song Chang-ui! *points to icon* The guy who played Tae-sub on Lib? You have no idea how excited I am now! I had almost no interest in this drama, but now it skyrocketed. Hee. If you want more info,I can link you!

Where abouts are you with StS? I promise I will catch up today. Now I can put my feet up and enjoy my newly clean house.

Is that the drama with Jung Yong Hwa ? YAY! I am afraid the secondary leads won't have anything interesting to do, though. This looks like your usual Kdrama setup, with love quadrangle. I prefer when the secondaries have their own OTP, like in "Gloria". Seriously, I rec Gloria to you with my whole heart.;D

Yes, it is. Actually, I think in this case the second leads will have more to do as they're supposed to actually guide the main leads, let them reach their dreams. Honestly? I'm still not sure if I can even be interested in the main leads' story (that one sure sounds unoriginal) but the second leads? I'm ALL for them and that storyline. I mean, if I get to see SCU sing and dance on screen, I'll be a happy woman. I'm sooo tired of chasing short clips on YT, Daum, Nate etc. I talked about this drama at the kyungtae comm a lot, but you can find more info here, here and here.

Re: Gloria. I'll watch it. I'm sure. I just...omg, too many things to watch. XD

Thank you so much for the links! there seems to be a hope that the two secondary leads will end together and also it seems that SCU CAN ACTUALLY SING. He can sing!!!!!!!!!!

I also have seen him in "Golden Bride", I wonder if you have seen this drama.

as to StS, I am going to make an effort and watch the episodes 21 and 22 tonight. Where are you in?

I need to emulate your cleaning spree. And I think I'm getting used to Jon, but he's still not what I want him to be. I love everything about the Wall and Castle Black, though.

I am not usually that intent on cleaning, which makes it worse when doing a "Big Clean".:D

I am seriously in love with Benjen Stark. He is my first "unexpected" crush of the series. It is such a pity we won't see him for a while.

But fingers crossed, I hope he is still alive.

I firmly believe he's Coldhands, and I intend to go on believing until completely proven wrong. That's going to be a tricky one to pull off on screen. They'll have to use a hooded cloak and shadows and things so the viewers won't see his face and know right away whether he is or isn't. And maybe make his voice hoarser if it's him, too.

This is sooooo cool. I am totally going to believe this as well. In any case, not found dead = still alive. But we won't see Ben Stark's long lashes for a long time. Yes, I am shallow, I confess.

The problem I am facing personally is that I know the spoilers from reading the books. I find myself inpatient. It will take literally years for the show to get to my favourite parts of the books. Some of my favourite characters won't even appear in this season. And overall, the first book is my least favourite of the series. Although the series is full of terrible events, still, in my view, the largest amount of terrible events happens in the first book.

My thoughts exactly.

Oh, and I totally agree on the Sansa part. The cast of the show is making me like certain characters I wasn't interested in in the books (mainly Arya), and dislike others who were my book favourites (mainly Theon).

Also, for the record, I adore the actress that they chose for Sansa. She is so pretty, and suits her role perfectly. I can't wait to see my favourite scenes with her.

I rememebr your list of favourites! My favourites are very similar, actually, apart from Theon. :(

Yep. It is not even funny - I watch and I keep thinking "Oh, noes!!!!!!!!!! I know how this is going to endddddd!" (I mean Ned)
