Watching and Reading

Sandglass got more interesting last night but I still can not get into it like I usually do with other dramas. It is easy to leave it after an episode ends. One of the reasons for that is there is no OTP here yet. Hye Rin is totally separated from the guys who are also away from eachother. Woo Suk is really messed up after what happened in Gwangju. Army life does not suit him at all. Tae Soo is in deep trouble since his bosses are all arrested and he couldn't see how the slimy traitor gave them up. It looks like he is going to stick with him. Poor Hye Rin gave her friends up under torture and finally got saved by her father. I like the bodyguard though and not only because the actor is lovely Lee Jung Jae. The character is the silent strong type which I usually am attracted to. And he loves her deeply so it was not a suprise that he was the one to help Hye Rin out of her catatonic state.
Meanwhile Nodame Cantabile has arrived and I'm really tempted to start it but if I do then it will take me a while to return to Sandglass and some of the plot points will be forgotten. So I have decided to delay anticipated pleasure and stick with Sandglass for now.
Dark Mountain is exciting but not captivating. With Laymon the reader is an observer and I'm not really affected by what's going on in the book. I don't invest in any of the characters either. Unlike Stephen King where one gets into the book so bad that I got scared while reading it and often burst into tears one a bad thing happened to a character I liked.
