Last night we had guest over for dinner and there was not time to engage in any reading or viewing. But I read more of War And Peace and eagerly awaiting for more of Long Vacation
First W&P, Petya died and Rostov family is in great pain. The poor thing was so eager to be included in action that he was reckless and killed instantly by a bullet to the head during an attack. This attack in question saved Pierre who was taken prisoner by the French Army. Meanwhile Natasha and Princess Marya became close friends united in their pain for Andrey. Natasha is feeling guilty since she thinks Andrey misunderstood her and gave up on living in order for her not to be tied to an invalid for her life. But with Petya's death she needed to return to life to take care of her mother who is beyond consolation. But her health declined all through this and now she is returning to Moscow with Princess Marya to see a doctor.
Tolstoy is a great writer but I enjoy the trials and turbulations of the characters more than reading the stages of war and his theories about what actually happened. War is my least favorite genre and even though I do read everything with curiousty I'm more eager and into the book when we returned to our characters.
Now on to Long Vacation: This drama is my fourth J Drama and currently my favorite since the people in it are not behaving like manga characters and I like our lead pair with their more real to life issues and interaction. The actors are both good and Kimu Taku is georgeous.
Currently our OTP is sharing a flat and interfering with each other's life. Her brother Shinji is a great pianist but preferes to just "hang out".
