The Wire I have started watching season 3, I have seen episode 1 so far. It is a little slow yet (in the season 2 we had a container full of dead girls by this time) , but seeing all the characters again feels like meeting the real people whom I haven’t seen for a while!! Among new characters, I really like Major Colvin, but he seems to be pals with Major Volchek and this can’t be a good thing, right?



Bones I am up to the episode 7 in the season 1. What to say? Storylines are still quite bad, in a way of collecting as many clichés as you can get. We already had child molesters, terrorists, cannibals, serial killers. BUT!!!!!!!!! Booth is great, and he says some of the most sharp and amusing things ever! And he wears his shoulder holster with dignity!!!! I like the bunch of misfit forensic scientists! They all are fabulous!!! I don’t like Bones herself yet, but this doesn’t spoil the watching for me. I wanted to ask - do you think she has a strange accent (or even a speech impediment)? I was wondering, because as non-native speaker I am never sure of these things.

Supernatural: "Born under a bad sign" What an excellent episode. I am finally getting into Dean/Jo shipping because ). And most of all, being evil makes Sam soooo interesting!

1 Percent of anything Finished it. It was a great fun, but not obsessive love. The best parts for me were multiple secondary OTPs, especially the one with Cousin/Doctor girl. I am craving a recommendation for a new Korean drama!!!!!!!!!!

Seducing Mr. Perfect (Korean romantic comedy) Now, this was a girly joy!! Think “Bridget Jones”, “My Girl” and “Pretty woman” (in the main hero’s part, not heroine’s). I definitely want to make a proper pictural collection!! Such a lovely romantic comedy and Daniel Henney is very very attractive and wounded.

Just a peek: )

Unfair (Japanese drama) Female homicide cop with the tortured past investigates a string of serial murders. I am not fully immersed into this yet, I finished the second episode yesterday, but it is quite engaging and dark. Is anyone watching this? What do you think?

"1 Percent of Anything"
Sweetest fluffiest drama which is promising to become my Korean "It started with a kiss" (with the Korean depth of emotions as additional plus). I have seen 6 episodes out of 26 so far.



He: Lee Jae-in (Kang Don Won) Young and successful businessman with some very cute temper issues.

She: Kim Da-hyun (Kim Jung Hwa) Bright and kind school teacher who helps older people on buses and is loyal to death to her friends. Plus she is adorably scatter-headed.

Story: Da-hyun meets Jae-in’s grandfather (a head of a powerful corporation) on a bus, gives him a seat and helps him to get to his late wife’s grave. And I don’t blame grandfather for he decides to bring his grandson and Da-hyun together, with the help of his death will. BTW, he is the same grandfather as in “My girl” and though he is quite a tough cookie in “1 percent of anything”, it feels from the very beginning that he really wants everyone’s best and adores Jae-in (in his way).

What is so wonderful so far : Much sparks and tantrums between the main couple, and OMPH! Some very cute secondary romantic pairings in sight.

Just look at this scene!! (episode 4) )

And as the drama develops and Jae-in starts to change he becomes unbearably cute. More Pictures )

And if this is not enough, (spoilers for the ending) )

Hana Yori Dango Is wonderful, I think this is the first Japanese drama after "Kurosagi" which really "gets" me. And I think this is mainly because of incredible powers of Hanazawa Rui who is beyond cool. How cool , just let me count: White clothes, graceful movements, mysterious demenour and heart-wrenching romantic storyline. Plus he reads books all the time. :D

Ayashi no Ceres I finished it, it gets all thumbs up from me (and Toya is my first and favourite anime character). Thank you [livejournal.com profile] dangermousie and [livejournal.com profile] meganbmoore for the rec. There were bits that disturbed me, spoilers )
