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.

glad to here that you are feeling better!

Don't you love bleach? I love the vivid colors, drawing style, and the opening/ending songs.

He has pretty eyes. I dunno how I would watch it, though.

I'm glad to see you have recovered. =)

That show looks interesting. I might have to hunt it down.

I watched the entire first series of the Naruto anime (220 episodes with 85 filler episodes in the row at the end!) and about 50ish of the second series before I gave up and just started reading the manga.

Ah, Kim Nam Jin from 'Prince's First Love'... he's in 'Fly High' that is. :) I'm totally swamped with dramas and will not add anything on The List for the time being. It's hard not to though....

The Listener sounds interesting. It's not shown here as yet but I think I'm going to take a peek...

Life's over

Sorry for the "dramatic" subject line. ;) But I thought I let you know (http://www.beyondhollywood.com/official-nbc-cancels-damian-lewis-life/). I believe sometimes shows get picked up by other (smaller) networks but I think that's a little unlikely.

Thank you for this. I've been looking for a new show to watch and am trying the Philanthropist, wasn't really sold on Legend of the Seeker so this looks just like the sort of thing I would like :D
