Well I have also cried during Episode 7 and finally Dong Wook told his mother that he is the one who tried to burn the evil man's house.
The worst thing in these stages of the show is that Lee MiSok treats her own son (currently she knows him as evil baddie's son) very bad and vice versa. Evertime that stupid son insults her I cringe.
Meanwhile things are brightening up for our DongChul in Macau. Not only he saved Steve Packer's son (Steve is the contact for Evil Baddie and the other Weird Evil Guy's construction project deals in Macau - Steve is very rich and influential and has a son and a daugther in law who is also very influential and capable, in fact Janice (the daugther in law) is the one who runs the more important construction business while Mike - who btw is georgeous- runs the casino business. Meanwhile Mike's girlfriend Grace is actually the Weird Evil Guy's daugther and she so fell under DongChul's spell, well the guy has a big heart and great looking face not to mention killer abs. And she turned down Evil Baddie's son. Evil Baddie is trying to beat Weird Evil Guy in getting the construction tender. He thought that an arranged marriage would be a good way to make Weird Baddie to back off but Grace turned him down flat. The funny thing is when Weird Baddie tried to give her a hard time for her scandalous behaviour, she correctly deducted that he never meant to marry his daughter off to this type of man anyway. Grace is smart and I'm rooting for her. Yes she is spoiled but which rich 19 year old isn't. Plus she has the good sense to fall for our Dong Chul.
But as usual in this type of drama (this reminds me very much of Baker King Kim Tak Gu) Dong Chul can't get a a break. Just as he starts to work as a legit dealer in Mike's Casino, Evil Baddie finds him. How? He put a tail on Grace and found out from the half Korean half Chinese Macau gangster that this is a guy whose brother has won top spot in Korea Law School. Yes, Dong Chul got screwed up by his younger bro again (this time Dong Wok didn't do anyting on purpose).
On Dong Wook's side he stars school but at a turbulent time. Military rules in Korea in 1981 and the students are constantly protesting.
I'm really loving this show. Even though I fell asleep in the middle of Episode 8. This is just because I was tired I suppose.
Good news is that my internet started working again and I managed to register my Nano (which is ADORABLE) and were able to watch the upcoming drama trailers. My favorite is Rooftop Prince since I actually laughed out loud while watching the trailer. I really liked Equator Man and King 2 Hearts but I wouldn't care for King 2 Hearts if Lee Sung Gi was not starring in it.

East of Eden Eps 4-6
East of Eden's childhood/teen portions were simply lovely. I'm not really that hopeful for the adult parts of the show (about 90% of it - heh) but at least Song Seung Hun is really good looking.
Now Dong Chul is working in Macau as an illegal immigrant (doing deliveries, acting as a dealer at night etc.) and the poor thing has the same good heart as he did when he was a kid.
Dong Wook entered the University exam and came top (this is very much like Turkey, all the journalist etc. came to his house) and will go to Seoul Law School. I don't really like this actor but more importantly I can't understand why he still shuts up about how he tried the evil baddie's house and his older brother had to take the fall for him. I mean I would have told this loooong before. Now is it nurture or is it nature? Dong Wook is really evil baddie's child. Did he inherit his evil heart? But why then he acts so righteous and all?
Meanwhile the real Dong Wook will also go to the same Uni but Management branch. Mun Hyung is not a bad kid at heart but is fed by his fake father's lies and also she likes Jin Hyun and Jin Hyun likes Dong Wook.

East of Eden - Eps I-III
NOT the book (although I do love it) but the Korean drama series I have started yesterday. And it felt so good to cry my heart out for a whole episode. Finally my Korean drama love is back - after Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy I was getting worried that I overdosed.
The first three episodes are fantastic we have cute child actors, approved adultery, babies switched at birth, union vs.the bosses in a coal mine, forced abortion, murder, revenge, arson a most hateful evil baddie and Lee MiSook (I love her) - Makjang for the Win!

Inception
Inception is just as good as the second time. But this time I'm not so positive on the ending.
Meanwhile I keep trying to connect to internet but no luck. I'm guessing it may be my telephone line. We'll see!

A Separation, Various US & UK Shows, Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy
A Separation This one is really good and deserves all the praise it got. A story well told, I didn't even realise how the time passed.
A Good Wife just got better with the investigation turning to Peter. And right after he abused his position to get his kids into some private school too. And Kalinda and Alicia are slowly warming up to each other again! Way to go show.
Revenge is also going good, I turned it on 5 minutes in and it seemed that Amanda was not alone and made up with the gay rich dude. They seriously got rid of Tyler good.
Grey's Anatomy was also good but I want to see more of Karev.
Merlin Uther died. And Arthur's acting is a lot better now. I'm very fond of this show and just because I find Arthur very very handsome.
I also started another Korean drama called Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy (Student I guess?) Now it is not only an older woman younger guy, but also teacher and student. Normally I'd just love it but for some reason the show doesn't appeal to me at all. Everything is too bubbly, secondary guy is not handsome at all and I don't particularly care for Goo Yoo or Gong Hye Jin. But these may also be defense mechanisms, well one CD was missing in the box (Episodes 5-8) and since I won't be able to go to Hawaii just to change it back, I have to bear it.

Guide
Guide is alright and even interesting from the beginning towards the end but it sank real low at the end part. What was all that got to do with anything? Now this is the first time I have watched Dev Anand and he is not my type of leading man. Waheeda Rehman now is not only a very good actor but also a great dancer (and this is kind of important in this film) but I can't see any warmth in her. It is hard to describe but I feel cold towards her and only admire and appreciate her but I don't really like her. All in all this film is winner in the first half but loses its marbles at the end. So I recommend with reservations.
