Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping

Last night I have started sleeping from 18:30 in the evening, until 7:15 in the morning. I have only got up to say my night prayers and my morning prayers. They should be about 30 minutes in total together. Well I must have really needed it since I feel great today. Also I have not eaten anything since I was sleeping. Well this is wonderful in and of itself but I also managed to go without drinking! Now I'm a happy bunny of sorts and hope to keep this performance up tonight as well. At least I shouldn't eat anything. I probably will drink tea / coffee and/or some herbal drink. Nettle maybe.

Oh I'm well aware that this post is kind of irrelevant and not good at all but what can I do? I need to write something at the moment and it makes sense to put thoughts in here rather than pretend. Most likely I'll end up deleting this one since it doesn't include any information on what I have watched or read but at least it shows that I have managed not to read and/or watch anything yesterday. Well I have read some of Historian but I guess that doesn't count.

Robbers - End, Sex & The City Season 6

I have finished Robbers on Friday and I was in tears and generally so happy with it. Jang Hyuk I love you.

Also on weekend I have watched Season 6 of Sex and The City and it was a good finale season to the series. Again I liked it just as much as I did the first time I watched it.

Robbers - Until the End of Episode 12

I can't help but got hooked by Robbers. I'm aware of its failings but totally caught up with the tragedies of our hero Kwon Oh Jun. He has just found happiness and mend his evil ways and now he is diagnosed with a tumour that is even worse because of the beatings he has received since 10 years.
And the noble idiot decided to lie to Dal Le and tell her that he is tired of her and is going to leave her. I simply hope she will not believe him and be there in his last days. On the other hand poor thing has already lost a husband. Now the man she loves is dying too? Yes everyone will die but they had too short a time. It is better than nothing I guess. I wish the writers will somehow manage a happy ending but I don't think it will happen.

Jang Hyuk, great looking actor who is also so talented and looks so good crying. I just love how his upper lip curls into non existance when he laughs and how non plastic he looks. The new generation of actors all seem to have gone under plastic surgery.

Robbers Eps I, II, III, IV

Well here I was thinking that I'd watch Robot starring Rajnikant and Aishwarya but in the end I decided to go for the handsome and give City Hunter a try. But then again the female lead is the same one in Sungkyunkhwan Scandal and I really didn't like her nose job so I decided to give Robbers a try since I don't hate Lee Dae Hee and actually LOVE Jang Hyuk.

Four episodes in, this is a sad sad drama. Not a very good one but Jang Hyuk's performance really elevates it. Not only he looks great (he plays a hustler/gigolo) but also he acts great.

Jootha Hi Sahi

Jootha Hi Sahi Ok I liked it but I don't think this is a very good film. It had a Notting Hill feel to it (in a good way, more like homage rather than stealing) and I love Notting Hill. In the end I enjoyed it but am not going crazy over it. Here is a pro/con list:

PRO

* John Abraham in all his fake nerdy glory. Just his dimples are enough to make my blood race. The performance was decent.

* The group of friends - I liked these people.

* Music - the songs were soft and nice.

* The appearance of the female lead - she looked like a real person.


CON

* It is just not that a believable story. Even for someone who is very easy when it comes to rom coms (seriously I usually like anything other than Katherine Heigl films - even then I saw all of them)

* John looks too dashing and lovely for the character - a person who is building that body to be so insecure? not buying it.

* The female lead's acting was not very good.

Sunglyunkhwan Scandal - End, The Town

I have finished Sungkyunkhwan Scandal on Friday at about 05:00 a:m. But it was so cute and angsty at the same time! It certainly warranted a marathon. Again this time I rooted for the secondary lead Jae Shin rather than our nerdy main lead Sun Joon. But the female lead (whose nose job was very distracting) chose her OTP as the nerd. Anyway I throughly enjoyed these series.

I also watched The Town directed and acted by Ben Affleck. I really like this guy despite the fact that he is not that much of an actor and he seems to be a better director. Although in the end I couldn't understand how our hero didn't carry a money bag but ended up burying it in the garden anyway (?) Well that is my only problem with the film but as we say in Turkey "the fly is small but it still gives one nausea)


Also today I have got three more Korean dramas thank God. I just can't get enough of them.

But I do plan on watching an Indian film tonight, to give myself a break in fear of overdosing and becoming bored of K-Dramas.

Meanwhile I'm still reading The Historian and still liking it very much. It is such a filling book. The prose is like a yummy steak (now I really have to go on a diet!)

Sungkyunhwan Scandal, I Come With The Rain, Sex and the City Season 5

First I have finally had the time to watch I Come With The Rain. And it was not really good. The benefit of the film to me was to once again see and understand how talent changes things in acting. The film's cast consist of good actors but Lee Byung Hun exceeded everyone by a very high margin. Anyway I'm glad that I got this one for free (in exchange for all the dramas I got in a little shop in Honolulu - no matter how many times I type this, I still am happy that it happened, I was in Hawaii and it was like a beautiful and realistic dream, one I live again and again)

Then I decided to give a few episodes of Sex and The City Season 5 a go (I got this one in the bargain bin, since it was like half a season it is cheap but now I have actually purchased season 4 AND season 6 which were not cheap at all so in the end this little thing turned out to be expensive after all) I just love Sex and The City TV show - the films, not so much-. This is one show that continued to be good and ended where and when it was supposed to end. Great job people I just wish you didn't marr it with the films but no use crying about spilled milk now.

And I have started Sungkyunhwan Scandal which everyone loved when it aired but didn't quite got my attention, probably because the lead actors were not people I found handsome - but it turned out to be very charming, engaging and visually pleasing. Now I have finished 7 episodes and this is yet another time I'm glad I stay away from spoilers :) (It served me well in Hong Gil Dong and Capital Scandal and now here!)

Still reading Ms.Kostova's The Historian and it is a great book.
