Worlds within+ Hyun Bin!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on my friends list who celebrates this holiday! From my heart I must say how thankful I am for all of you!!! ** big hugs **

I had a bit of a cold yesterday so I stayed at home and had a chance to finally start the new drama with Hyun Bin, Worlds Within . I have watched 4 episodes and my impression is very underwhelmed . This is such a pity, I adore both main leads but the drama is not my thing at all. "Worlds Within" is a Korean drama trying to be a Western show, with partner swapping and office love stories and fast dialogues, but the problem is that i am not in Korean dramas for this!! I am in for forbidden eternal love! Also "Worlds Within" doesn't do Western show particular well (as "My Sweet city" did), the story so far is not catching. What a pity!!!!!

Still, I was reminded that Hyin Bin is the prettiest man in Korea and I might just have to finish watching "Worlds Within" so that I can just watch how gorgeous he is.

Who is pretty even when he palys a mental patient



But who cant smile for the camera to save his life



Also some fashions I disapprove of



PS: "The Painter of the wind" is going to be the death of me.

Also, Hyum Bin is gorgeous but for some reason doesn't really do it for me. I mean, I admire him in the way we admire all classic, perfect proportions :) but it's in a kind of distant way - he doesn't really do the heart-squeeze-throb thing other actors do. Except maybe when he's a bad boy but he so seldom is - always seems to get cast as the half-hearted-bad-but really good boy(aka Snow Queen).

Have you seen "My name is Kim Sam Soon" (one of my most loved favourites)? He is on the bad boy side there. I was surprised to see him so quiet and pondering in "Winter sonata". I still loved it (and it shows that he can act well) but my favourite role of his is in "Kim Sam Soon".

oh that's right he was in that! y'know, I need to rewatch that. I think it was the third drama I ever watched cuz everyone raved about it, and I got about two-thirds of the way through, and, I don't know, it just lost me. I LOVED parts of it and other parts just seemed really stupid and repetitive.

But I keep thinking I should give it another shot now that I'm more versed in the ways and means of dramas. We'll see.

I am in the "Kim Sam Soon" lovers club, but to be fair, almost all Asian dramas loose me in the second half and I ff quite a bit during second halves. "Kim Sam Soon" was the same. I am already used to it.

Rare dramas like "The Legend" and this new "The Painter of the Wind" are actually much more interesting in the second half, but I think may be because both are made from books/legends and have an interesting story behind.
