Thank you + The Listener
Thank you so much for all your well-wishes, I am back to 100% normal. I have slept, watched "Black and White", "Fringe", and Korean drama "Fly High" (I love love love this drama, may be the best drama I watched in the last three month. More details about "Fly High" here).
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Also I have been watching Canadian show "The Listener". It is quickly becoming my favourite of the season. The premise is similar to the one in "Thoughtcrimes", a 2003 film that actually was a pilot episode of the show that never went ahead: a paramedic Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) can read your thoughts. He helps to fight crime. This wasn't instantaneous love for me, more of the "Craig Olejnik is pretty I must watch this" phenomena. But slowly the show is catching up with me: it is pretty, it has lovely cast and awesome female characters, it promises interesting backstory developments. It doesn't have boringly silly plots like "The Mentalist" and it doesn't hit any of my annoyance buttons. I like stories about mindreaders.
Reasons to watch The Listener
Reson 1: Craig Olejnik is pretty:
Craig Olejnik is cute:
He was born to wear a cravat. May be he is related to Richard Armitage, for the awesomeness of his profile has no bounds:
Craig Olejnik's eyelashes are long and thoughtful:
He has a great OTP with a no-nonsense female detective (Lisa Marcos)
WHo can rescue anyone any time:
And doesn't believe him:
She is gorgeous:
Also:
1. I love the show's colouring
2. Enis Esmer plays an adorable friend of Toby's
3. Colm Feore plays Toby's suspicious doctor / father figure
In other new, my daughter and I reached the 170 (!!!) episode of Japanese anime "Bleach". I think I have never seen so many episodes of anything.

Thinking back, I feel that the story is just as much about the guys and their relationship as it is about the girl. And they do have more in common than just her as well (something that gets revealed pretty early on). It's a very bumpy relationship considering they really have to learn to get along and co-operate. There's quite a bit of jealousy that has nothing to do with the girl either. I found the undercurrents below the fun parts, the romance and 'your normal k-drama angst' interesting.
What I liked as well was that there were no crazy characters, they were all more or less normal, faulty human beings.
