Just rambling again

I just have to get a few more things about Full House off my chest.

1. Why do Song Hae Gyo and Charming Man, both twentysomethings, need reading glasses?
2. I love the huge fridges found in both Rain/SHG's and Charming Man's houses.
3. What exactly is an Internet novelist? SHG is one at the start of the story. Does one make any money as an Internet novelist? How exactly does it work?
4. Why does Charming Man take her on as a scriptwriter when she is supposedly a third-rate Internet writer? Does anyone know of any lobang of this kind? Please let me know. He doesn't even need to be charming or whatever or in love with me. As long as can make money legally, can already.
5. The two girls have such lovely earrings. SHG also has some rather pretty dresses towards the end of the show, after her hair suddenly straightens.
6. I liked Rain's dad. He is so kind to SHG when he meets her at the wedding, quite unlike some of the dads in other K shows who beat their sons up and send gangsters to threaten their (sons') girlfriends.
7. How did everyone become so friendly and happy at the end of the show? There is so much tension between Rain and Charming Man throughout the show, either over SHG or Pretty Girl, and Pretty Girl is just pouting, manipulating or confused most of the time. Suddenly, they are all so jolly at the end.

I read in yesterday's Life! section about Kim Jeong Hoon, the guy from Goong/Princess Hours. Here's another young man who doesn't sleep. Apparently he sleeps little more than 3 hours a day. Madness. And to think he could have been a dentist with regular sleeping hours. This guy was actually in the dentistry course at the the top uni in Seoul but, obviously, he had a change of heart.

On the topic of earrings, my friend CK and I stepped into tai tai-dom for a bit when we went to the to-be-officially-opened National Museum (I find those random-yet-not-random letters on their website very distracting) to gawk at the Cartier (cool website) pieces. Lovely.

True train school

‘Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire. These are the things to fear, said the headmaster.’ How would you like to have such a headmaster? I finally re-read (read it first as a teenager) Totto-chan, The Little Girl at the Window , a ‘school story’ by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, translated by Dorothy Britton. Totto-chan is the name Tesuko Kuroyanagi called herself, and the book is about her life during her school days at Tomoe Gakuen. Totto-chan was expelled from her first elementary school because of her ‘disruptive’ behaviour, which included constantly opening and closing her desk top (because she was so thrilled by it), ‘vandalising’ her desk (because there wasn’t enough space on the piece of paper to draw) and standing by the classroom window waiting for street musicians to pass by or talking to swallows. Her mother, although probably alarmed about the ...

The Secret Romantic Guesthouse (2023)

The title has an airy, genial feel and the show does have its airy, genial side, but I also think of it as TRAPPED, since everyone was trapped by the past.   It was fun trying to figure out who was who, who was on whose side and how the awful king would fall.   The scholars It wasn’t too hard to guess that Kang San (Ryeo Un) is the deposed/missing prince and that he isn’t really gruff and disinterested although he’s exasperated and rolling his eyes most of the time.  Shi-yeol (Kang Hoon) has the best ‘disguise’, with the nice contrast between his highly-skilled fighting and loyalty versus his silliness.  It felt at times that Yoo-ha (Jung Gun-joo) was an extra but finally, he gets that one brave act of letting himself be captured to protect the rest.   Shi-yeol identifying himself to Kang San as his watchman was dramatic but the most shocking revelation in the show was that the Old Guy (Shi-yeol’s mentor) is the king’s watchman!  Ho...

Be Melodramatic! (2019)

An entertaining look at the media world, although the plot and acting (thankfully) weren’t melodramatic! There was some drama over relationships but overall, ‘good friends’ is the prevailing vibe and at the end, you almost want to shout  友谊万岁   (friendship forever). all their living room chats and meals; Eun-jung's brother's home garb and robes! There is also Eun-jung’s other friend, who is a gem, so for me, this show is mainly about friendship.   It is wonderful how everyone moves in because they are concerned for Eun-jung (Jeon Yeo-been). Her grief and healing are movingly portrayed, and Yeo-been’s acting and Eun-jung’s storyline eclipsed that of the main character.  Eun-jung is beautiful, smart and tragic.   heartbreak she gets along so well with her cameraman Han-joo (Han Ji-eun – Ae-wol !) is cute, smart and tragic.  They both work responsibly and seriously, treat others with respect and deserve the success and opportunities that come th...
