Damo pictures + a little about Ireland

This is a copy of the post I made yesterday in dorama_chat , Here

Damo
I have started watching Korean period drama "Damo" from meganbmoore’s recommendation and it is an absolute classic.

Short synopsis: 17 century Korea: Chae-Ok was separated from her brother in infancy, after their father was accused of treason. She was taken as a servant into a rich house where she met "a son of mistress", Hwangbo. As they grew and learned martial arts together Hwangbo replaced for her the lost brother. When Hwangbo joins Police and becomes a Commander, he takes Chae-Ok with him as a tea-serving officer (HEE! They had tea-serving officers in Korean Police :D). Later Chae-Ok meets charismatic rebel, Sung-Baek.

Damo is great in many different ways:

- Fabulous trio of main characters

- Storylines that make a lot of sense, move fast and no less engaging and interesting then any of big-screen films, and not only in the romance part of it.

- Love story to die for.

- Commander Hwando who is a paragon of masculinity, reserve and passion

See: Beards? What beards? I don’t notice any!!!:

Ireland
I have also started watching Korean drama "Ireland" with Hyun Bin (because he is fabulous beyond any words) and he is so cute and young and everything else in it, but ( Spoilers for Ireland’s ending )

Fridaly Pictures of Hyun Bin

I feel like a dead walking today. This week was very busy for me. This week everyone in our team is on holidays and everyone who is not on holidays is on sick leave. It was my manager and I holding the fort for 3(!!!) days so I am just about ready to go home. I am not complaining, really :D , for I do love my job VERY VERY much and always have. But on a day like this a prospect of staying home and watching films THE WHOLE DAY long seems to be very appealing too. Too bad, I remember when I was staying home for three years I really hated it. :D But then again, that was before the age of speedy Internet connections.

To amuse/make myself awake I am filling my LJ with the pictures of Hyun Bin. Whilst I was looking for his pictures on soompi forums (Thank you very much soompi, you all are great!!!) I realised what I find the most appealing in this Korean actor: his vulnerable and somehow pure looks.
