Couple or Trouble - End

I have LOVED Couple or Trouble right to the end. And this is very suprising since I don't particularly care for either lead (Oh Ji Oh cannot act and this is the first time I have seen Han Ye Seoul). This drama was all about "big" acting and they managed to handle it really well. Or - after watching NG shots of it I think it is safe to say - the director did a very good job.

I have never heard this one being well liked among drama lovers on net but it is one of my all time favorites now.

Couple or Trouble 11

Yes, unfortunately I have watched 6 Episodes last night. That was an unfortunate binge since I'll probably suffer at work today but I simply couldn't help myself. I do love this show and I hope that it will stick being so awesome until the end.

Couple or Trouble 3-4-5

I'm enjoying Couple or Trouble so much. It is rare for me to laugh out loud while watching something - I'm more inclined to cry- but with this drama it is almost laugh a minute. I love the leads Han Ye Soul has the type that I like to look at and while Oh Ji Oh normally doesn't do it for me (I only remember watching him in Chuno and the only many I have my eyes on in that one was Jang Hyuk) and he is not a good actor but this type of comedy requires him to play it big and he does it beautifully. This story is one I really like and they did a great job so far remaking it.

As usual I don't like the secondary female. She is just so immature and she left our hero when he has to take care of his three nephews. Yes it is not easy to be responsible for three small boys but if you love a man you stand by him. No?

My Princess - End, Ve Geri Kalan Herşey - End, Couple or Trouble 1 & 2, Tigerlilly's Orchids

My Princess ended in a very nice manner. The baddie was served her just desserts but also got a chance of redemption and happiness with her OTP. Our adorable couple kept being adorable, sexy and charming. All in all I was happy.

Ve Geri Kalan Herşey was ok. Not as good as her first book but it was entertaining enough and I had a good time with it.

Now I have started Ruth Rendell's Tigerlilly's Orchids and I'm loving it even though it is just the beginning yet. I love Ms.Rendell's writing style and the way she slowly reveals things about her characters. Great writer.

I also started my long searched white whale, aka Couple or Trouble. Episodes 1 & 2 were lovely. I always laugh out loud at Hong Sister dramas. Their humour totally works for me and the actors are all very good so far. I do like the film Overboard and this drama is based on that film. So far, so good.

My Princess 4-8

I love My Princess more and more with each episode. The leads are so pretty and the villain is truly despicable. But most important thing is that the chemistry between the leads is amazing. So good!

I really like PuCCa's last book too. It is very entertaining but as it goes along I'm not sure I like it as much as the first one.

1Q84 - End, My Princess 1-4 and Ve Geri Kalan Herşey

I have finished 1Q84 the day before yesterday (and I LOVE the fact that it is such a romantic book with a great ending) and started PuCCa Günlük Ve Geri Kalan Herşey (lit.translation)And Everything That Remained This is a book written by a blogger and normally I'm not into blogger turned novelist writers but this woman is really talented and hillarious. It is like a Turkish version of Brigitte Jones - and I'm loving it, laughing out loud while reading.

Meanwhile I have delved into my precious stash (from Hawaii :) ) and started watching My Princess and it is such a pretty drama, mainly because the lead actors Kim Tae Hee and Song Seung Heun are both so pretty. I really like looking at beautiful people but to top it off they have father who died angst (which still always gets me even though it has been more than 10 years since my father passed away). I was in tears last night over this. All in all I'm happy thank God.

1Q84 Still

I'm caught in the web of 1Q84 and I'm not complaining. I can't get enough of Murakami so everything else is on hold. No films (well all Sunday I have watched Pirates of the Caribbean and the latest episode of The Good Wife but that was pretty much it), no dramas just Murakami.
