Oh Tak Gu is breaking my heart. The man can't catch a break. I wanted to shake Yu Kyung and tell her that the road she takes is no good - wake up and remain with Tak Gu who loves you, revenge is silly and hating people will just cause you go bad inside.
I truly identify with Tak Gu - being able to forgive easily and doesn't suffer any grudge especially after some goodness shown to me, optimistic and hopefull. So everything that is happening to Tak Gu somehow affects me and now the poor guy is not only suffering from the shock of seeing Yu Kyung together with Ma Jun (spawn of evil) and having caught a cold from falling asleep on the bakery floor but the stupid auntie and Mi Sun (the girl) fed him Ma Jun's poison thinking it is cold medicine (to give credit to MaJun he did run there to stop it but since he is the one who procured the dreaded poison in the first place, I'm not going to think better of him). Well at least his father survived the assasination attempt and safely united with Tak Gu's mother. I just hope he'll be able to meet his mother.
Meanwhile I have finished The Unpredictable Bride, which was predictably adorable, and going to start Canan Tan's Alevden Küle Eroinle Dans (literal translation is From Flame to Ash Dance With Heroin) well my excuse is that it was very very cheap and I'm currently fasting and planning to read it on the treadmill during lunch break (I just go with 3.something and try not to tire myself) and on the shuttle to/from work so something that wouldn't tax me but keep me amused is what I need to read. Also this writers has a lot of fans in here. I have read one of her books and it was one of those nice generic fiction with an easily flowing story. Let's see how this on will work out.

Baker King Kim Tak Gu - and one left from the catching up
Last night was Episodes 17-18 of Baker King Kim Tak Gu and once again I was in tears by the end of the 18th episode. Tak Gu is such a kind hearted character and I like him so much that when one of the baddies hurt him, it is as if I'm the one who is hurt. I really hope this drama ends on a good note for our Tak Gu or I'll suffer more than withdrawal symptoms.
Meanwhile I have finished Kader'in Peşinde and started Barbara Cartland's The Unpredictable Bride and just as expected from an unashamed Cartland fan, I'm loving it.
I realised one of the TV dramas I have watched and forgot to add in the last post was And I Love Her and it probably was because I didn't like it at all. The male lead looked like he was in junior high (but his character was in university) and the female lead was a total weirdo - and in a bad way- I think they were going for a Long Vacation type thing but it didn't work (I LOVE Long Vacation btw)

Catching Up a Bit
I was away from the net for the past two weeks and now I'll try to catch up. It won't be so hard I guess since I mainly watched K-Dramas and didn't read many books.
The Rise of the Planet of the Apes It was good. Very entertaining and engaging.
Salt I liked it better than I would have if it starred a male hero. Angelina, despite not being a very good actor has ample on screen presence and she handles action scenes well.
The Princess And the Frog Well, I watched it to the end.
The Romantics It was not a very good film, I actually watched it more out of curiosity (just how bad an actor Katie Holmes is?) than real interest.
Blades of Blood That film is bad, even Cha Seung Won -looking real good in period costume- was not able to save it.
You Again Now I really like Kristen Bell but she is not a rom com actor, just like with Katherine Heigl, I can't sympathise with her for some reason.
These are films that I can think of off the top of my head now. I'll update if I remember more.
Now on to the dramas
I have finished You Are Beautiful and despite not liking Park Shin Hye one single bit, I loved the drama. Hong sisters' humour agrees with me.
Currently watching Baker King Kim Tak Gu and it is total makjang and full of stupid story telling devices (such as flashback to a minute ago) but for some reason I love it. Cried lots during episode 16 last night. Tak Gu is such a lovable character and he has such a kind heart and the villains are so so bad that I do understand how this show had stellar ratings when it was airing.
Books wise I was not very active (I'm fasting and spend all my vacation stuck next to my mother who doesn't read much nowadays) finished
Nine Dragons which was an average Michael Connely novel but since Bosch was in Hong Kong this time I enjoyed reading about places I have been to.
Five Go in a Caravan Enid Blyton I love you and I think every child should read your books (how I loved them as a kid and it is a great suprise to see that I love them still - maybe even more so)
Currently reading
Kader'in Peşinde (literal translation Chasing Kader - Kader is a female name also means Destiny) I like Mehmet Murat Somer's transvestite detective who is a club manager and also a computer programmer/hacker. The novel is full of wit and action. Enjoying it a lot and I'm sad that I'm almost at the end.
