the randoms

haven't found many gd jap dramas to follow this season, so after years of not watching korean drama, I ended up following two recently.

...confirm for me again that korean dramas are overall insightless and do nothing but encourage avoidance of one's own responsibilities.

...and the ones that try to be deep and meaningful are more intolerable than the brainless romantic ones.

the King 2 Hearts so easily grabbed my attention at the start, to the point i thought korean drama was finally having a breakthrough with this one. sadly, storytelling just spiralled straight down the atrocious end... i still find ha jiwon & lee seungki really brilliant actors, and the chemistry between them was amazing(when they are actually 9 yrs apart) such a waste of gd acting...

Rooftop Prince on the other hand is typical silly korean romance from the start, but because its overtly silly, my expectation was not high. music was nice, costume was pretty, suspense was kept, and there was a nice wrap-up in the last episode, that made some basis sense.

my expectations of dramas these days are so low... as long as something exhibits some sort of commonsense i will label it a gd drama.

now both are finished for over a week. there is no withdrawal symptoms, I don't miss them at all.

so, bk to jap, still following Legal High. Masato-sama (who usually play meek and mild ojisans) is so different and brilliant this time. love the pressured speech.

lunch today is prob the best lunch i've had in a while. new bubble tea place in chaddy called "Bubble Cup Signature" (how lame). but 40% off this wkend, and 50% sugar tasted 50% sugar. owner was a 40+ anxious fob obasan who looked so overtly stressed out about everything during the brief period i observed her.

i like her, i think thats easily me in 20 yrs time.

then found food in the food court. spicy fish with tofu... it came in a giant bowl and though not too authentic, was full of chilli and peppery goodness and thoroughly warmed up my GI system.

shop owner was a 60+ ugly fob ojisan who dressed young, but for some reason his glasses and his long puffy messy hair and the way he moved around reminded me A LOT of Masha.

so, satisfaction on all fronts. XD i am so going bk to that place to eat next time i am in chaddy.

(if anyone finds it grossly disturbing that i check out random sexagenerians in shopping centres... im sorry.)
