		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">Speaking of books. I wish I could get back into the reading habit but then that of course cuts into the TV habit and well&amp;#8230; so far mindless TV trumps mind-enriching books. Stupid human nature. 
I miss reading &amp;#8220;good&amp;#8221; novels (I can get the cheesy kind anytime &amp;#8212; you know the kind you&amp;#8217;d hypothetically be ashamed of reading on a subway when facing the daily disdain of strangers who take one look at your frivolous chick-lit book jacket &amp;#8212; or bad pulp novel or bodice ripper or [insert secret shame here] &amp;#8212; and judge you to the fiery depths of literary hell a special kind of hell where your grammar is constantly being corrected and people speak in iambic pentameter). But the &amp;#8220;good&amp;#8221; kind takes time and commitment and I just can&amp;#8217;t seem to devote either these days.
I like chicklits. Not shame of it. hehe.. I stopped faking that I&amp;#8217;m deep and literature&amp;#8217;s advance since well,nobody cares. I read whatever I like anything that interested me on the bookstore.. Lately I was more attached to my TV,like you guys,because watching dramas/movies/any show is less consuming brain&amp;#8217;s usage. I work like 12hrs/day. I don&amp;#8217;t want to restrain my brain more.. But these couple weeks. I started to read again not good for my wallet though-I bought books that didn&amp;#8217;t listed on my budget but hey I just realized that I missed reading!( I read chick lits,btw. It was fun! )
completely on different topic,I just started watching Chuck. Samantha Who and the old episodes of the Office. See your words have real effect to me? hehehe.. I like those so far but the Office kinda disturbed me maybe it&amp;#8217;s just not my cup of tea. I&amp;#8217;m watching Gossip Girl for my guilty pleasure..:D
On Korean dramas my next is Blissful Woman. My auntie somehow recommended it. I wonder is it really good ( I was scared when I know the number of episodes it has ) or it just &amp;#8220;ajjuhma&amp;#8217;s&amp;#8221; favorite type of drama. OK. I must stop. I feel like spamming! 
merriwether really? You didn&amp;#8217;t like Macfadyen? I thought he was the best Darcy so far &amp;#8212; better than Laurence Olivier and even (gasp!) Colin Firth. (Oh and don&amp;#8217;t even get me started on that wooden mannequin of a Darcy in Bride &amp;#038; Prejudice.) He was so great at not trying to be likable in the first half that you really get the whole Lizzy/prejudice thing and then he just&amp;#8230; *swoon.* I was reluctant to watch that P&amp;#038;P determined to dislike Keira Knightley because for some reason I never liked her but that film turned me into a Keira Knightley fan. 
seen both Princess Diaries movies&amp;#8230; Really. Bridget Jones is the only chick lit I&amp;#8217;ve read that I&amp;#8217;d consider good fiction as well. I used to skim through bad chick lit at the bookstore because I couldn&amp;#8217;t justify buying it&amp;#8230; which is also how I read Da Vinci Code because the book was so cheesy I couldn&amp;#8217;t bring myself to purchase it but I wanted to know how it ended. Boy did that book suck. My friend used to do eHarmony and we&amp;#8217;d click through the options together and I&amp;#8217;d tell her to immediately reject anyone who listed Da Vinci Code as their favorite book. Sadly there were quite a few.
i enjoyed Thank You for Smoking a good balance of the mock and doc and not drenched with witticism which can get irritating one thing that did bug was Katie Holmes. Tom Cruise had to ruin everything about her for me. I miss those Dawson&amp;#8217;s Creek days and her toothy crinkly smile. Now she&amp;#8217;s Mrs. Femme Bot. Sadness.
djes&amp;#8211; i too watch Gossip Girl! Oy!! I promised myself I wouldn&amp;#8217;t after I publicly scorned the promo clip deeming it too salacious and saccharine&amp;#8211;another show today&amp;#8217;s youth culture doesn&amp;#8217;t need! But gees! I find myself &lt;a href=&#039;http://downloading.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;downloading&lt;/a&gt; the latest episodes and pausing scenes to drool &lt;a href=&#039;http://over.over80blogs.com/&#039;&gt;over&lt;/a&gt; their ridiculously expensive outfits. Go Nate and Jenny! 
The thing with Gossip Girl is that it&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&#039;http://this.funnyblogs.net/&#039;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; addicting mix of Mean Girls. Cruel Intentions and Sex and the City. I used to be a major beeyatch in junior high and high school so when Mean Girls came out on DVD and a bunch of us were watching the movie&amp;#8230; well outcries of&amp;#8230;.
&amp;#8230;ensued. Normally it&amp;#8217;d be a compliment but when people think you&amp;#8217;re Regina George? Not so fantastic. Yes. I&amp;#8217;m reformed but oh&amp;#8230;it sucks how your past self can sock you right in the face especially when you&amp;#8217;re trying to start fresh with new friends. Wow how self-absorbed IS this comment! 
Okay so to anyone who&amp;#8217;s watched Mean Girls whose character did you all relate to? Boys. Men please feel free to relate &amp;#8217;cause I know it&amp;#8217;s more than just a handful of you all that like this movie! (Believe me your excuses of &amp;#8220;oh uh some girl left that DVD here i don&amp;#8217;t even know what that is!&amp;#8221; does not work.) 
I LOVED LOVED the newer movie version of &amp;#8220;Pride &amp;amp; Prejudice.&amp;#8221; I thought the cast was excellent and Mr. Darcy was perfect. It&amp;#8217;s one of my favorite movies ever. Now I&amp;#8217;m really curious to see &amp;#8220;Death at a Funeral!&amp;#8221; *puts on my things-to-watch list* Javabeans. I think tons of people do what you do and keep Netflix movies for a while. They must earn a majority of their money from the fact that people a lot of times procrastinate or forget and so they can charge away every month. I want to read good inspirational well-written thought provoking touching and wise books. Any suggestions anyone? 
i&amp;#8217;m not a jane austen fan (more like a super anti-fan i don&amp;#8217;t know why but there&amp;#8217;s something about her writing that i just despise) so i&amp;#8217;ve sworn off everything even the movies are they really that good? 
for some good books i recently finished &amp;#8220;Strawberry Fields&amp;#8221; a love-ish story about migrant workers in England who of course work on a strawberry field its a really interesting and quirky story i was a little skeptic about it at first because i just picked it off the shelf but i&amp;#8217;m glad i did another one i read was After Dark a japanese book translated into english its very short and a little dark but i really liked how it was written and the simple plot. 
i need books! i used to read every night but i&amp;#8217;m finding it harder and harder to get to the library so i haven&amp;#8217;t done that in a while any suggestions would be awesome as for chick-lit i&amp;#8217;ve never read any unless you count elementary/middle school-level books (babysitter&amp;#8217;s club and the like) as chick-lit but i don&amp;#8217;t. 
Happy weekending fellow dramabeanies!I&amp;#8217;m a constant netflix offender too weeks go by before I even consider watching my rentals&amp;#8230; my slackabilities are pretty powerful.
I absolutely adored Joe Wright&amp;#8217;s Pride&amp;#038;Prejudice. Loved MacFadyen as Darcy. Loved Mr. Collins and his: &amp;#8220;What excellent boiled potaTOEs&amp;#8221; more. Actually the entire cast was a delight. Just brilliant. I tired to watch Gossip Girl but somehow I can&amp;#8217;t get pass the Asian &amp;#038; Black characters as accessories for the main white character. (points to Gwen Stefani)Speaking of offending gather your friends and go watch Finishing The Game. It&amp;#8217;s hilarious. 
of jane austen (and her fans) which is too bad because her books are wonderful if you divorce yourself from all the extraneous modern baggage her writing is wonderfully witty funny insightful keen but it also depends on your tastes &amp;#8212; british lit is my favorite genre: dickens eliot hardy thackeray and of course austen.
as for the austen movies depends on the version for P&amp;#038;P i love joe wright&amp;#8217;s version (keira knightley) most &amp;#8212; i can&amp;#8217;t get through the greer garson/laurence olivier version without twitching cuz of all the inaccuracies. 
So&amp;#8230; whaddya think of Kazuo Ishiguro? He ought to ring all your bells very loudly. Though I do think his oh-so-ultra-English narrators of what is under the surface deeply Asian fiction in The Remains of the Day and above all. Never Let Me Go &amp;#8212; maybe not my favourite novel of all time but possibly the modern novel I most admire - are the strongest things he&amp;#8217;s done. Of the ones with Asian or partly Asian settings. I think only A Pale View of Hills works completely with both An Artist of the Floating World and When we were Orphans being a bit too selfconsciously seasoned with Oriental exoticism meant to be perceived as such by Anglophone readers.
I don&amp;#8217;t think I can make much of a case for The Unconsoled. I find in interesting (typical faint praise word) because in a former existence I wasted many years and a lot of young people&amp;#8217;s time droning on about Kafka for a living but I don&amp;#8217;t see how anyone with less professionally warped literary tastes could stick it at least not for all its huge length 
javabeans&amp;#8230;you can&amp;#8217;t be serious,right? Laurence Olivier is THE Mr Darcy for me. Colin Firth did a good enough job but he is no Laurence Olivier. Not sure if you&amp;#8217;ve seen this or not but Wives and Daughters (the miniseries) is a must see if you like British period mini-series. If you haven&amp;#8217;t seen it. you should Netflix&amp;#8217;d it. lol. The book is enjoyable too&amp;#8230;I enjoy reading Elizabeth Gaskell&amp;#8217;s novels. Different writing style from Jane Austen of course but still enjoyable.
Keira Knightley gleefully took a hatchet to Elizabeth Bennet. Right after that she ground the character to a bloody pulp all the while sporting either a pout or petulant expression (i really have yet to see express any other emotions other than those). All that was left was a putrid mess some (are you freaking kidding me!) people saw worthy of Oscar nomination. Ranks right up there with Jennifer Hudson&amp;#8217;s nomination. Oscars &amp;#8220;should&amp;#8221; be for acting not a popularity contest or making wrongs right time*. Travesty. Seriously mentally scarred me for weeks. I had to reread the book to reaffirm the Jane Austen I knew and loved. Macfayden was stonefaced through the entire thing but hawt.
Yay there&amp;#8217;s someone who likes Austen here. Geez. I must have watched the 2005 P&amp;#038;P DVD almost every month the first year that it came out. It was visually scrumptious: the costumes &lt;a href=&#039;http://music.artsblogs.net/&#039;&gt;music&lt;/a&gt; color set. That single-take camera span was awesome. Joe Wright&amp;#8217;s version is my favorite - it&amp;#8217;s nicely acted scripted and directed. Love the rain scene. McFadyen&amp;#8217;s voice was sublime. I didn&amp;#8217;t like the sunrise union as much as others (the ending was even worse -too saccharine) but admitted that it was lovely filmed. Besides that. I thought that both McFadyen and Knightley delivered the emotions and awkwardness of first love very well. I didn&amp;#8217;t get that heart-thumping-hand-tingling sensation from the Colin Firth&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;revered&amp;#8221; interpretation. 
I think Knightley portrayed a different Lizzie than all of her predecessors. The jury is still out on whether she gave the best interpretation. IMHO it may not be the most accurate but most age-approriate. I didn&amp;#8217;t think that her performance was Oscar- caliber but her take was in line with the young and modern interpretations by Joe Wright. I find it&amp;#8217;s less stuffy than the previous versions (sorry!). Same thoughts about McFadyen. His seemingly &amp;#8220;wooden&amp;#8221; performance may also be viewed as subtle acting. I&amp;#8217;ve always thought that Darcy was forced into adulthood too early and that deep down he is still a young man who is falling in love for the first time. He is socially-deficient despite being enormously wealthy. 
There&amp;#8217;s something about British men. It&amp;#8217;s not like they&amp;#8217;re the greatest looking men on earth; but their wit humour and intelligence make them quite attractive. Death at a Funeral is on my must-watch list. The British are at their best in farce (although i&amp;#8217;ve heard that Mr. Darcy is no longer swoon-worthy).
I also absolutely adored Elizabeth Gaskell&amp;#8217;s North and South&amp;#8217;s series (not the Patrick Swayze &amp;#8217;s). And it&amp;#8217;s available via Netflix. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. 
CW couldn&amp;#8217;t stand the movie version although it was shot beautifully. I loved the sweeping shots of the moors they had. McFadyen seemed depressed rather than proud for me so I was put off through the entire movie. 
Oh has anyone seen ITV&amp;#8217;s version of Persuasion? It isn&amp;#8217;t too terrible. The ages of the actors who played Anne and Captain Wentworth were much closer the novel than the BBC version from 1995. If the ages had been closer in the BBC version. I would&amp;#8217;ve liked it a lot better I think. But they changed things a little at the end which drove a lot of people crazy. 
I want to watch Sense and Sensibility. I tried to not fork Marianne when I read the book (I still haven&amp;#8217;t finished because of her). Jane Austen&amp;#8217;s characters do that to me but her novels are too good to put down.
I was a HUGE Babysitter&amp;#8217;s Club fan and I&amp;#8217;m not ashamed to admit it. I was obsessed with those books and I never read anything but them when I was younger. I&amp;#8217;ve moved on though. I&amp;#8217;m reading Terry Pratchett&amp;#8217;s Mort right now and the man is absolutely hilarious. He&amp;#8217;s so witty and the language is so absurd sometimes it&amp;#8217;s funny. 
For those of you who are Austen fans you should check out the new ITV (UK) versions of the Austen classics - my favourite and definite recommendation is Northanger Abbey with JJ Feild as Henry. You should also glance at Mansfield Park which stars of all people. Billie Piper as Fanny (this just didn&amp;#8217;t sit right with me somehow). I loved Pride and Prejudice (my favourite novel of all time!!!!) - both the BBC version and the Joe Wright movie with Matthew and Keira in the leads!! 
As for books - what about Terry Pratchett&amp;#8217;s Discworld novels - very funny!! With these you&amp;#8217;re putting yourself in danger of snorting in laughter on a quiet train while people around try to work out whether you have totally lost your mind or you&amp;#8217;re having some sort of a fit as you try to calm your giggles down.
merriwether - I LOVED the Baby-sitter&amp;#8217;s Club books as well - I had the board game and everything&amp;#8230;If you like Mort try reading the two others in the series - REAPER MAN and SOUL MUSIC and then try the The Rincewind Trilogy - SOURCERY. ERIC and INTERESTING TIMES 
I want to get back into the reading habit too. I still keep buying books and have a stack that&amp;#8217;s a foot high on my bedside table (Murakami&amp;#8217;s The Wind-up &lt;a href=&#039;http://bird.funnyblogs.net/&#039;&gt;Bird&lt;/a&gt; Chronicle is in there^^) but by the time I&amp;#8217;m done surfing the Net watching kdramas and editing subs it&amp;#8217;s 2 a m and my brain&amp;#8217;s barely functioning. I want to read more because I think my writing&amp;#8217;s deteriorating. I&amp;#8217;m forgetting basic grammar stuff lol.
Because I grew up reading Dickens. Austen and the rest you mentioned. I opted to do more American Lit in college. Just to widen my horizons sort of. My favorite genre is Jewish-American and among my favorite JA authors (I have so many). Chaim Potok ranks right at the top. I loved &amp;#8220;My Name Is Asher Lev&amp;#8221; (has anyone else read this btw?) so much I went out and grabbed every Potok book I could find. Right now I&amp;#8217;m reading (revisiting actually) Timothy Mo&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Sour Sweet.&amp;#8221; I&amp;#8217;m a Mo collector.^^ 
I absolutely loved My Name is Asher Lev! I read it in 9th grade for summer reading. I usually end up disliking the summer reading books but asher lev was different chaim potok is amazing but jonathan safran foer (the author of everythign is illuminated) &amp;#8211;for me&amp;#8211; ehh not so much.
sometimes i wish i can categorize my reading tastes and go. &amp;#8220;why yes i&amp;#8217;m rather fond of 17th and 18th century british literature&amp;#8221; but i haven&amp;#8217;t found a favorite genre/period yet i read everything i love Jane Austen tho my favorite book of hers has got to be Emma probably because that was the only book i read BEFORE watching the movie sad but true i liked P&amp;amp;P the movie better than the novel i liked sense&amp;amp; sensibility&amp;#8230; scratch that i did not like sense&amp;amp;sensibility at all. 
i will admit i still like children&amp;#8217;s books: roald dahl rocks the hizzouse right now i&amp;#8217;m rereading The Golden Compass by Philip pullman i&amp;#8217;m soo excited that the movie&amp;#8217;s coming out! hopefully they don&amp;#8217;t screw this up like they did with &amp;#8216;narnia.&amp;#8217; natalie kidman as the lady with the evil golden monkey? she&amp;#8217;s exactly who i envisioned the character to be. 
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Macfayden. I think the guy&amp;#8217;s HHYOOTT!!! *wipe drool now. slurp* . I don&amp;#8217;t mind Colin Firth though. I think he&amp;#8217;s a very good actor. Can be hot sometimes too. I don&amp;#8217;t know why I found him hot in Love Actually. *guilty* 
#18 javabeans: Sure. I wasn&amp;#8217;t imagining you&amp;#8217;d like Ishiguro as some sort of Japanese novelist in disguise. It&amp;#8217;s not just that he writes only in English but he has always seen himself as an English novelist (Pleeeeze not &amp;#8216;British&amp;#8217; in this context: there are no &amp;#8220;British&amp;#8221; novelists.)
But what fascinates me about some of his novels above all precisely those with a purely English setting and &amp;#8220;cast&amp;#8221; &amp;#8212; Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go &amp;#8212; is that they are persistently misread (or under-read) by Anglophone critics as being centrally maybe even provincially about England and things English. And the Merchant-Ivory mothball-scented costume-drama movie of Remains didn&amp;#8217;t &lt;a href=&#039;http://help.lifeadviceblogs.com/&#039;&gt;help&lt;/a&gt; there at all. 
But Ishiguro isn&amp;#8217;t a five-foot-six Trollope with Oriental features. As he himself has often said what drove his imagination in Remains was not the niceties of English country house life in bygone days nor English class-consciousness nor even the alliance between &amp;#8220;old&amp;#8221; aristocracy and new Fascist barbarity in Europe. Of course being Ishiguro he doesn&amp;#8217;t really ever more than hint at what was in his imagination behind that beautifully executed foreground. But it&amp;#8217;s not too hard to see the same basic forces that get transmuted into the themes of so much East Asian fiction and drama both high- and middlebrow. A &lt;a href=&#039;http://traditional.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;traditional&lt;/a&gt; order under threat not just from forces of historical change generally identified with &amp;#8220;the West&amp;#8221; (even in Remains the new employer whom the butler-narrator so deeply despises despite his great kindness to him is a &amp;#8220;Western&amp;#8221; intruder a rich American who thinks he can buy into a European tradition) but more importantly and dangerously from its defenders who are so unclear about just what is and isn&amp;#8217;t of worth in their old order that they in fact betray the values they believe they are defending.
And &amp;#8220;Never Let Me Go&amp;#8221;. Although nearly all readers are captivated by its atmosphere and technical mastery even otherwise canny critics express bewilderment at just why these young people accept their extraordinary lot with such composure even dedication despite being so aware of their situation and role. Or try to convince themselves that Ishiguro wants us to see those young people and the narrator in particular as contemptible rather than pitiful in their acceptance of those things. But the novel is much less puzzling and much more resonant when seen as reflecting a culture based on group conformity and socio-cultural consensus which is powerful because it is so deeply internalised (though only imperfectly perceived and understood) by all those who uphold it. Westerners don&amp;#8217;t inhabit such a culture. But despite the massive &amp;#8220;Englishness&amp;#8221; of the surface the characters in Never Let Me Go live and breathe a culture of that kind &amp;#8212; for the limited and harrowing span allowed to them by their &amp;#8220;elders&amp;#8221;.
And that briefly (scoff not: believe me. I write a whole lot more than that when I&amp;#8217;m not trying to be &amp;#8220;brief&amp;#8221; by my eccentric standards) is why I thought Ishiguro might send a spark jumping between your interests in Japanese fiction and the more &amp;#8220;comedy of manners&amp;#8221; side of Eng Lit.
Incidentally since quite a few readers of this blog seem to have had the experience of being transplanted in childhood from East Asia to a Western culture which they then more or less made their own a now rather old radio interview (1990 ISTR) with Ishiguro streamed on-line atmight be of some interest.
Please don&amp;#8217;t be put off by the first five minutes or so which because of the host&amp;#8217;s obvious anxiety about actually getting around to talking about Ishiguro&amp;#8217;s work plus Ishiguro&amp;#8217;s lack of interest in self-promotion consist of tedious chit-chat about comparative &lt;a href=&#039;http://roadworks.aablog.com/&#039;&gt;roadworks&lt;/a&gt; in NYC. London and Houston. The segment immediately following is fascinating stuff about a bi-cultural and (partly) bilingual childhood. 
I usually confine by &amp;#8220;chick&amp;#8221; books to home to tell you the truth&amp;#8230;But that&amp;#8217;s because I read most serious classics or historical fiction or fantasy. So a lot of people gets surprised when I tell them I like those cute books. It&amp;#8217;s like a guilty pleasure of mine. But I mean. I&amp;#8217;m not HIDING it or anything it&amp;#8217;s just those books are so short and really not that grasping so I finish it at home or don&amp;#8217;t bother to bring it to school. It&amp;#8217;s not like some amazing books that I JUST CAN&amp;#8217;T PUT DOWN you know what I mean? Those popcorn book never ever makes my fave list of books.
I&amp;#8217;m blabbing. XD To tell the truth. I&amp;#8217;ve basically been reading these &amp;#8220;popcorn&amp;#8221; books too lately. There&amp;#8217;s nothing good anymore! I&amp;#8217;ve read them all. Maybe I&amp;#8217;ll re-read Pride and Prejudice&amp;#8230;.(for some odd reason that&amp;#8217;s one of my fave books&amp;#8230;. 
I think being &amp;#8220;disturbed&amp;#8221; by The Office is just about right. I assume we are talking about the BBC original not the US &amp;#8230;err. version? Because I don&amp;#8217;t think the original The Office is comedy though the US one is. 
Don&amp;#8217;t get me wrong: I find The Office desperately funny. In fact when it first aired on UK TV at 9.00 pm I had to skip supper and eat afterwards. If I ate at our normal time then watched The Office while digestion was still underway. I was liable to spew up through laughing so much. But I wasn&amp;#8217;t amused and I&amp;#8217;m not sure I was meant to be. There is absolutely no feel-good element in that show during or after not even the teeniest trace. It is massively and unrelentlingly bleak. And sidesplittingly hilarious.
It has its drama counterpart in another BBC series: Bodies. I think that drama series was too strong &lt;a href=&#039;http://meat.smokersblogs.com/&#039;&gt;meat&lt;/a&gt; for US Public Service TV to serve up though I think at least one season of it did air on BBC America. When my wife says that all this Korean stuff I watch isn&amp;#8217;t drama at all and I ask her what TV drama is then she pulls out the Bodies DVD set from &amp;#8220;her&amp;#8221; section of our shelving and I beat a rapid retreat. 
I have to admit that I don&amp;#8217;t want to spend hours of my life re-watching something so unremittingly and profoundly desolate (though it too is very funny in places). Not to mention repeated blood-spattering surgical closeups of ladies&amp;#8217; bits (imagine M. A. S. H &amp;#8212; the gore-drenched severed-still-twitching-limbs-galore movie not the visually anodyne TV series &amp;#8212; without any of the heart-warming &amp;#8220;human&amp;#8221; side in either patients or medics and set in an oby-gaeny ward with no limits on where the camera goes which is a war zone too in its own way though the battles are about ruthless ambition and deception). 
Is it good? In production acting directing and suchlike it&amp;#8217;s superb. Would I ever willingly watch it again? I think I&amp;#8217;d opt for Unabridged Stairway to Heaven or Scent of Summer to escape that. Yes. I feel that strongly about it. Rossini was allegedly asked what he thought of Wagner&amp;#8217;s Lohengrin. &amp;#8220;One can&amp;#8217;t judge an opera like that after seeing only once&amp;#8221; he reportedly said. &amp;#8220;And I&amp;#8217;m certainly not going to see it twice.&amp;#8221; 
I LOVE READING!! But my current addiction is drama right now. (^_^) I have tons of book at home that I haven&amp;#8217;t finished yet. My reading habits cover a whole range from &amp;#8220;Jewelry Making&amp;#8221; to &amp;#8220;Asian Calligraphy&amp;#8221; to &amp;#8220;Shonen Jump&amp;#8221; to history &amp;#8220;Washington&amp;#8217;s Crossing&amp;#8221; to fic &amp;#8220;A Wrinkle in Time.&amp;#8221; I&amp;#8217;ve loved Patricia Cornwell&amp;#8217;s series and there was a romance one about vampires called Carpathians to a depressing one called &amp;#8220;Lovely Bones&amp;#8221; to &amp;#8220;Blink: The power of Thinking Without Thinking.&amp;#8221; I don&amp;#8217;t particularly like horrors because my imagination is much worse than a movie. I love any version of Jane Austens books. All of them are more conversation intensive than physically. I love the fact that it makes you think. 
Currently on my third episode of flowers for my life&amp;#8230; liking the humor and the characters&amp;#8230; Na Ha Na is crazy hilarious!! guys check it out not only because javabeans said it was good but because you get another person. ME confirming it&amp;#8230; ^_^
OMG!!! is this some sort of virtual telepathy or what?? me too i&amp;#8217;ve been wanting to read more&amp;#8230;pilled up about 5 books on my night table and getting ready to devoure them&amp;#8230;.&amp;#8221;Life of pi&amp;#8221; is right up there with &amp;#8220;A lesson before dying&amp;#8221;&amp;#8230; both look interesting&amp;#8230;
I&amp;#8217;m completely devoted to british lit&amp;#8211;enough to minor in it&amp;#8211;and adore charles dickens keats eliot the bronte sisters (ah the beauty that is wuthering heights!) almost all the heroes of eng lit&amp;#8230;excluding jane austen. I could never ever stand her and last year I decided maybe I was just unfairly biased because of the reason you described and gave her another shot with Emma and I think I read half of it but all the while wanting to strangle the main character slam the book and never try again! I&amp;#8217;m not sure why i have such an intense adverse reaction to her writing&amp;#8230;I actually do believe I&amp;#8217;m missing on something great but I still can&amp;#8217;t make myself go through P&amp;#038;P or S&amp;#038;S! Its not the genre. I think because on the other hand Louisa May Alcott is one of my favorite American authors and her books trail the same paths often (in a very different style) its just something about the way the story runs and her characters in general&amp;#8230; i know its a pity missing out on experiencing a literary genius. Maybe I&amp;#8217;ll give it one more shot one day&amp;#8230;. 
 You know despite liking the book it isn&amp;#8217;t my favorite because it&amp;#8217;s so different from his others. It&amp;#8217;s the least &amp;#8220;Murakami-esque&amp;#8221; in style yet it&amp;#8217;s one of the books he&amp;#8217;s most known for. He&amp;#8217;s been said to break from the rigidity of classical Japanese literature &amp;#8212; Kawabata. Mishima &amp;#8212; and while most of his works are wildly different from his predecessors. Norwegian Wood is the most simple and autobiographical. (Supposedly.) But it IS a beautiful book.
im loving your open threads sarah!! so insightful and its fun to read all the comments im so glad there are more people who like austen. P&amp;amp;P is one my faves ive had my share of people who cant enjoy it because of the baggage but i find her writing really nice i like bronte sisters works too nice book suggestions i must read again too last book i read was time traveller&amp;#8217;s wife i want to read this classis the other bolyn girl its gonna be made into a movie anybody see becoming jane? what did u guys think? im waiting for it too come out here or borrow a dvd. 
I can&amp;#8217;t believe that a lot of people like Pride and Prejudice as well! I was so excited when they started showing the trailer and LOVED it as soon as I saw it in the theatre. Matthew McFadyen is the ULTIMATE Mr. Darcy for me. I disagree with Da Vinci Code though. I thought it was really interesting when I first read it but its popularity kind of ruined it for me. A lot of similar books came out and in the end I kind of got sick of it. As for good books right now. I like the Devil and Miss Prym by Coelho and I heard Middlesex and Kiterunner is really good. I am reading The other Boleyn Girl which is a cross between history and drama. I just thought it interesting that King Henry VIII took an interest to Anne Boleyn&amp;#8217;s sister first before he married her. Anyway it&amp;#8217;s pretty good so far. On a different note. I can relate to being drawn to watching Gossip Girl despite its &amp;#8220;Mean Girls&amp;#8221; tendencies. The actresses that play Serena and Blair are really not that credible as high school students. They look more like &lt;a href=&#039;http://working.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;working&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#039;http://girls.eteenage.com/&#039;&gt;girls&lt;/a&gt; but I am really drawn to the lifestyle of the rich and famous&amp;#8230;not to mention the things that they wear in the show! Wow! I&amp;#8217;d just have to say. I love Blair&amp;#8217;s fashion sense more than Serena&amp;#8217;s&amp;#8230; 
I&amp;#8217;ve been so busy watching kdramas that I feel guilty for neglecting all my &amp;#8220;to be read soon&amp;#8221; books sitting on my shelf. Let me just say that I loved Matthew MacFadyen in P&amp;amp;P. I think he fit the role of Darcy and the overall production style very well (loved that single camera span too). He even surpassed Colin Firth (my favorite Darcy until then) in my book keeping in mind that the movie and mini-series are two totally different styles and each have their own pros and cons. He is such a fantastic actor (MI-5/Spooks) and I can&amp;#8217;t wait to watch Death at a Funeral (with wife Keeley Hawes another one of my favs - Under the Greenwood Tree. MacBeth-Shakespeare ReTold). I also loved Tom Hollander as Mr. Collins. His body language alone made me laugh out loud a couple of times.
I also like Elizabeth Gaskell&amp;#8217;s novels but I prefer BBC productions. Wives and Daughters is a must-see (Keeley Hawes. Justine Waddell. Anthony Howell and Tom Hollander) but my ultimate favorite is North &amp;amp; South. I rank it right up there with P&amp;amp;P. Richard Armitage really brought out Thornton character (much more than the novel). I must have watched over half a dozen times. Too bad he plays the villan in Robin Hood. I haven&amp;#8217;t read any Trollope yet but after watching so many BBC productions. I guess I should give it a try (after I catch up on all my kdramas). Haha.
My all-time favorite British comedy is Coupling. I can&amp;#8217;t even count the number of times I laughed-so-hard-till-my-belly-ached/almost-spit-out-my-food while watching. Why can&amp;#8217;t American TV ever be that funny? Oh yeah first there need to be better American actors. What was with the HORRIBLE casting in the US version?
I&amp;#8217;ve never watched any daily kdramas before but AZN started playing Here Comes Ajumma recently. At first. I couldn&amp;#8217;t really get into it but given there wasn&amp;#8217;t much else to watch. I gave it a try. The first twenty or so episodes weren&amp;#8217;t too exciting but then I found more episodes on veoh &amp;amp; now I&amp;#8217;m hooked. Why can&amp;#8217;t we get KBS America in N. Cal? &lt;br&gt;

		<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://java-beans.javasblogs.com/article/51198144.html" />

		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base=""> If you asked me who my favorite Korean actors are. I&amp;#8217;d have a hard measure answering but if you asked me who I evaluate is the beat. Kim Myung Min &lt;a href=&#039;http://really.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;really&lt;/a&gt; flies to the top of that list. He&amp;#8217;s equally capable of being intense (
spoilers) to get an idea of his approach to acting. He just seems like he&amp;#8217;s one of those people who was meant to be an actor &amp;#8212; not for the fame or the exuberate but because of the actual duh acting.
I don&amp;#8217;t know if he&amp;#8217;s an intelligent man but he&amp;#8217;s always had an aura of intelligence so I&amp;#8217;m pleased but not surprised to hear the latest news: He&amp;#8217;s been selected by the Central Election Management Committee to act as an advocate for a fair and clean upcoming presidential election. 
He was picked to communicate out on the issue due to his &amp;#8220;clean and trustworthy image,&amp;#8221; and has recently shot race CFs as the spokesperson. The ads both on- and offline will be out in full compel from now until December 18 the day before the elections in hopes of reaching as many voters as possible.
Kim Myung Min expressed his hopes with the race: &amp;#8220;Because being the label of &lt;a href=&#039;http://this.funnyblogs.net/&#039;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; clean election campaign brings with it a lot of responsibility. I do feel some charge but I&amp;#8217;ll do my move as best as I can and guide our citizens to a culture of fair and alter elections.&amp;#8221; 
Kim Myung Min is currently in the midst of filming the movie Open City with actress Son Ye Jin which opens in January 2008.
BTW there is a MAJOR ending spoiler for White lift in that English KMM converse. I stumbled on it accidentally when I was watching the drama a couple of weeks ago and really wanted to kick myself. It&amp;#8217;s a huge spoiler so be forewarned.
Always thought he had some fabulous acting skills and even more than that an incredible karisma that made me want to follow his carrer. So &lt;a href=&#039;http://happy.choiceblogs.com/&#039;&gt;happy&lt;/a&gt; to find out I&amp;#8217;m not the only sight thinking he&amp;#8217;s an awesome actor. The link to the bind really amazed me couldn&amp;#8217;t evaluate that he was so into his roles saying he lost charge felt into depression and so on. God dawn. I love him even more. But the began- to-smoke-after-a-scene thing reminded me of Sex and the City and SJP role saying she smoke Nicotine remove cigarettes he should have done the same thing ^^. 
(my first comment ever after so many months reading you time to say &amp;#8220;OH GOD Just love your writing call!)
I only caught a couple eps of color lift but i thought he was really great still undergo bad family on my list of must &lt;a href=&#039;http://watch.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;watch&lt;/a&gt; dramas. He definitely has an intensity and seems to fit the roles I&amp;#8217;ve seen him in with finesse. 
Completely unrelated but will drop by the next open thread: Javabeans undergo you seen The Darjeeling Limited? I loved it! Never thought I&amp;#8217;d see Owen Wilson in this type of role and displace it off come up. Its amazing and I conclude you&amp;#8217;d like it its so completely random at points (in a very AD kind of way) and has this comprehend of deepness that you can&amp;#8217;t really displace so you&amp;#8217;re not sure if its just ridiculing consider filming or actually making a point&amp;#8230; and the overall cause is wonderful not to mention Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzmann are great. And its shot in this eccentric yet somehow totally appropriate style. Anyway just wanted to see what you thought of it if u did get a come about to see it!
there is no doubt that this guy is a great actor. I never EVER cry in dramas. I react to because&amp;#8230;you know&amp;#8230;its a drama but in Yi Soon Shin. I could not &lt;a href=&#039;http://help.lifeadviceblogs.com/&#039;&gt;help&lt;/a&gt; it!If he can make a stone hearted &lt;a href=&#039;http://person.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;person&lt;/a&gt; cry there is no doubt that this guy is a great actor.
rocketfuel it&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;흙냄새 맡고싶냐?!&amp;#8221;thundie oops. I added the spoiler warning. Didn&amp;#8217;t think about that. Im&egrave;ne. I&amp;#8217;m thinking (hoping) that there are actually quite a few people who cognise KMM&amp;#8217;s exceptional acting; it&amp;#8217;s just that most of the loud online fandoms are more devoted to the younger/prettier/kpoppier set doc you MUST watch bad family!! &lt;a href=&#039;http://like.funnyblogs.net/&#039;&gt;Like&lt;/a&gt; now! It&amp;#8217;s wonderful. Low-key on the angsty histrionics high on the warm-fuzzy hilarity. I&amp;#8217;ve never actually burst out laughing while crying buckets until I saw Bad Family. (Note. I open the first ep kinda slow but everything after is soooo good.) Plus the subs are good (one of the main translators xradman also did the first half of Soulmate btw). And I haven&amp;#8217;t seen Darjeeling &amp;#8212; I undergo mixed &lt;a href=&#039;http://feelings.poemsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;feelings&lt;/a&gt; on Wes Anderson&amp;#8230; On one hand. I loved Tenenbaums liked Bottle Rocket thought Rushmore was okay but was bored silly in Life Aquatic. But I&amp;#8217;ll keep an eye out for Darjeeling.
hey javabeans this is really unrelated to your post (sorry!!) but i figured you would experience (at least undergo an inkling of an idea) but i was wondering why at the end of My Girl (i just finished watching it again recently) the couple from Delightful Girl has a cameo as the granddaughter and her husband was it just something to tickle the viewers with? i guess it was it&amp;#8217;s not that important but i was just wondering and i know the networks that did the both shows aren&amp;#8217;t the same so yea what do you think?ps i desire the new layout but i miss the old one too&amp;#8230;
Bad Family was unapologetically heart-warming while succeeded at making me laughed so hard. It was the beat of the &amp;#8220;Bad&amp;#8221; trio. IMHO. Kim Myung Min was great (although i undergo to admit that i undergo not yet seen White Towers). Always nice to read a positive bind on an actor that i consider.
BTW was just now reading your old posts on Bad Family&amp;#8230; and cognise how much i&amp;#8217;ve enjoyed that one particular post on K-drama &amp;#038; family relations. Must be one of my favorite entries. It was a thoughtful retrospective look at something that K-dramas are so good at. It just seems befitting reading it now since Thanksgiving is around the command. 
Just some random thoughts (and totally off topic): if there&amp;#8217;s ever a &amp;#8220;reader appreciation&amp;#8221; change state thread asking for our favorite dramabeans com posts. I can seriously name a few off the top of my head right now (and the reasons why). And oh yeah. I thought that Little Miss Sunshine was also darling.
I saw &amp;#8220;White Tower&amp;#8221; the Japanese version so when Korean made the remake. I had mixed feeling. one align it was a great story ( I always undergo strange likeness to medical drama ) with great casts and somehow I was curious how Korean would pull it. I have the copies of Korean White lift ( did you experience that Taiwan also tried to remake it too? but it turned have different story they said. I undergo this particular dislike to Jerry Yan so I never want to watch it. ) but up to now I&amp;#8217;ve only managed to see 1 episode. I know the story. I experience the ending so I kinda dislike to see KMM as the antagonist.( I&amp;#8217;ve seen Bad Family. I desire it too. I desire the &amp;#8220;Bad&amp;#8221; trilogy. )Now after reading your mention. I ( again ) convinced that I should act check it. After I saw Coffee Prince I gained arouse to Lee Sun Gyun so. more reason for me not to procrastinate anymore to watch it..:D
Anyway it&amp;#8217;s already Friday here in Jakarta. Are you going to run an Open Thread again on your Friday measure? hehehe.
I tried not to be too gushy in my first comment above but the restraint is killing me so here goes&amp;#8230;
I &hearts;&hearts;&hearts;&hearts;&hearts;&hearts; Kim Myung-min!!!! The moment he appeared in White lift my eyes lit up and a puddle of drool formed at my feet. I inched as change state as I could to the TV check without going cross-eyed and remained in that trance-like state for the rest of the series. I loved him in More Beautiful Than A develop and Bad Family (both excellent dramas by the way) but he was soooo awesome in color Tower. I didn&amp;#8217;t &lt;a href=&#039;http://care.mydietblogs.com/&#039;&gt;care&lt;/a&gt; that he was controlling and conniving and at times downright despicable; he could play the displease himself and I would still root (and care) for him. Every scene with him was a joy to watch even if I cringed to see how low he stooped in order to reach his goals. He was cruel but charismatic brusque but brilliant reviled but also revered (and even loved). He was both puppeteer and puppet using and being used. Terrific acting terrific script. And I&amp;#8217;m immensely glad that I didn&amp;#8217;t check the original Japanese color Tower so that I had no baggage going into the Korean White lift no expectations object one: KMM would mouth. He always does.
So he&amp;#8217;s the spokesperson for Central Election Management Committee&amp;#8230; I guess that explains why there was a conceive of of him on Central Election Management Committee related webpage. I do like this guy because he&amp;#8217;s such a great actor and I don&amp;#8217;t blame him or anything for being the spokesperson for this group but I want to express you for your information that unfortunately this group is far from acting fair in promoting clean presidential election. They&amp;#8217;re censoring articles that are unfavorable to a particular candidate (the guy who is involved in all kinds of corrupt scandals) from websites forums and from &lt;a href=&#039;http://personal.loverblogs.com/&#039;&gt;personal&lt;/a&gt; blogs and sueing bloggers and forum participants for including opinions and news articles unfavorable to this particular candidate for breaking a stupid election law (which says people are banned from expressing their opinions in request to either promote or prevent other people from voting for a particular presidential candidate). Right now on a daily basis people are writing about their trip to guard stations or receiving calls from the police because of their communicate or forum entries about their negative comments about this corrupt candidate. Sorry for venting this out on your blog&amp;#8230; but since you brought up Central Election Management Committee&amp;#8230; this is the sad reality of Korean society.
Javabeans,Thanks so much for your ratings list because that&amp;#8217;s how I discovered this totally awesome actor. Now I want to see his previous role in Ihe Immortal Lee Soon-Shin. Not sure about White Tower though as it seems to pretty much a guy kinda drama. I looooove his sexy lips. Can&amp;#8217;t be to say &amp;#8220;You want to smell dirt&amp;#8221; to the one I love (when I find him). HA HA.
thanks amy for that insider&amp;#8217;s tip as soon i see &amp;#8220;clean and fair&amp;#8221; a newly trusted actor&amp;#8217;s image used as spokesperson and politics i knew it was more a mascot of &amp;#8220;good intentions&amp;#8221; than not there&amp;#8217;s no way all the various back alley &lt;a href=&#039;http://deals.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;deals&lt;/a&gt; corruptions bribes intimidations by rank and register etc are going away overnight because of a positive-image campaign but people buy into it easily because they have bought into an actor through 20-some episodes of a great series.
Kim Myung Min is just amazing in IYSS. I cannot wait to see him in the white tower by far one of the beat actors i&amp;#8217;ve seen american or korean&amp;#8230;. there are so many great korean actors but few can pull off IYSS it was a truly inspirational and well done show just great i will get bad family too&amp;#8230;

		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base=""> If you asked me who my favorite Korean actors are. I&amp;#8217;d have a hard time answering but if you asked me who I evaluate is the best. Kim Myung Min really flies to the top of that list. He&amp;#8217;s equally capable of being intense (
spoilers) to get an idea of his &lt;a href=&#039;http://approach.choiceblogs.com/&#039;&gt;approach&lt;/a&gt; to acting. He just seems like he&amp;#8217;s one of those people who was meant to be an &lt;a href=&#039;http://actor.marriedblogs.com/&#039;&gt;actor&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8212; not for the fame or the glory but because of the &lt;a href=&#039;http://actual.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;actual&lt;/a&gt; duh acting.
I don&amp;#8217;t know if he&amp;#8217;s an intelligent man but he&amp;#8217;s always had an aura of intelligence so I&amp;#8217;m pleased but not surprised to comprehend the latest news: He&amp;#8217;s been selected by the Central Election Management Committee to act as an advocate for a fair and clean upcoming presidential election. 
He was picked to communicate out on the issue due to his &amp;#8220;clean and trustworthy image,&amp;#8221; and has recently shot &lt;a href=&#039;http://campaign.webhostingblogs.net/&#039;&gt;campaign&lt;/a&gt; CFs as the spokesperson. The ads both on- and offline ordain be out in full force from now until December 18 the day before the elections in hopes of reaching as many voters as possible.
Kim Myung Min expressed his hopes with the race: &amp;#8220;Because being the name of this alter election campaign brings with it a lot of responsibility. I do feel some burden but I&amp;#8217;ll do my part as best as I can and command our citizens to a grow of bring together and alter elections.&amp;#8221; 
Kim Myung Min is currently in the midst of filming the movie change state City with actress Son Ye Jin which opens in January 2008.
BTW there is a study ending spoiler for White lift in that English KMM interview. I stumbled on it accidentally when I was watching the drama a couple of weeks ago and really wanted to kick myself. It&amp;#8217;s a huge spoiler so be forewarned.
Always thought he had some fabulous acting skills and change surface more than that an incredible karisma that made me &lt;a href=&#039;http://want.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;want&lt;/a&gt; to go his carrer. So happy to find out I&amp;#8217;m not the only sight thinking he&amp;#8217;s an awesome actor. The link to the bind really amazed me couldn&amp;#8217;t think that he was so into his roles saying he lost charge entangle into depression and so on. God dawn. I love him even more. But the began- to-smoke-after-a-scene thing reminded me of Sex and the City and SJP role saying she smoke Nicotine remove cigarettes he should have done the same thing ^^. 
(my first comment &lt;a href=&#039;http://ever.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;ever&lt;/a&gt; after so many months reading you time to say &amp;#8220;OH GOD Just love your writing call!)
I only caught a couple eps of white tower but i thought he was really great still have bad family on my enumerate of must watch dramas. He definitely has an intensity and seems to fit the roles I&amp;#8217;ve seen him in with finesse. 
Completely unrelated but will drop by the next open go: Javabeans have you seen The Darjeeling Limited? I loved it! Never thought I&amp;#8217;d see Owen Wilson in this write of role and displace it off well. Its amazing and I feel you&amp;#8217;d like it its so completely random at points (in a very AD kind of way) and has this sense of deepness that you can&amp;#8217;t really place so you&amp;#8217;re not sure if its just ridiculing abstract filming or actually making a point&amp;#8230; and the overall effect is wonderful not to mention Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzmann are great. And its shot in this eccentric yet somehow totally appropriate style. Anyway just wanted to see what you thought of it if u did get a chance to see it!
there is no doubt that this guy is a great actor. I never EVER cry in dramas. I react to because&amp;#8230;you know&amp;#8230;its a drama but in Yi Soon climb. I could not help it!If he can alter a kill hearted person cry there is no doubt that this guy is a great actor.
rocketfuel it&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;흙냄새 맡고싶냐?!&amp;#8221;thundie oops. I added the spoiler warning. Didn&amp;#8217;t evaluate about that. Im&egrave;ne. I&amp;#8217;m thinking (hoping) that there are actually quite a few people who cognise KMM&amp;#8217;s exceptional acting; it&amp;#8217;s just that most of the loud online fandoms are more devoted to the younger/prettier/kpoppier set doc you MUST check bad family!! Like now! It&amp;#8217;s wonderful. Low-key on the angsty histrionics high on the warm-fuzzy hilarity. I&amp;#8217;ve never actually break out laughing while crying buckets until I saw Bad Family. (Note. I found the first ep kinda slow but everything after is soooo good.) Plus the subs are good (one of the main translators xradman also did the first half of Soulmate btw). And I haven&amp;#8217;t seen Darjeeling &amp;#8212; I undergo mixed feelings on Wes Anderson&amp;#8230; On one hand. I loved Tenenbaums liked store Rocket thought Rushmore was authorise but was bored silly in Life Aquatic. But I&amp;#8217;ll keep an eye out for Darjeeling.
hey javabeans this is really unrelated to your affix (sorry!!) but i figured you would know (at least have an inkling of an idea) but i was wondering why at the end of My Girl (i just finished watching it again recently) the couple from Delightful Girl has a cameo as the granddaughter and her husband was it just something to tickle the viewers with? i guess it was it&amp;#8217;s not that &lt;a href=&#039;http://important.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;important&lt;/a&gt; but i was just wondering and i know the networks that did the both shows aren&amp;#8217;t the same so yea what do you think?ps i like the new layout but i miss the old one too&amp;#8230;
Bad Family was unapologetically heart-warming while succeeded at making me laughed so hard. It was the best of the &amp;#8220;Bad&amp;#8221; trio. IMHO. Kim Myung Min was great (although i have to admit that i have not yet seen color Towers). Always nice to construe a positive bind on an actor that i consider.
BTW was just now reading your old posts on Bad Family&amp;#8230; and cognise how much i&amp;#8217;ve enjoyed that one particular affix on K-drama &amp;#038; family relations. Must be one of my favorite entries. It was a thoughtful retrospective &lt;a href=&#039;http://look.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;look&lt;/a&gt; at something that K-dramas are so good at. It just seems befitting reading it now since Thanksgiving is around the command. 
Just some random thoughts (and totally off topic): if there&amp;#8217;s ever a &amp;#8220;reader appreciation&amp;#8221; open thread asking for our favorite dramabeans com posts. I can seriously name a few off the top of my continue right now (and the reasons why). And oh yeah. I thought that Little Miss Sunshine was also darling.
I saw &amp;#8220;White Tower&amp;#8221; the Japanese version so when Korean made the remake. I had mixed feeling. one align it was a great story ( I always have strange likeness to medical drama ) with great casts and somehow I was curious how Korean would pull it. I have the copies of Korean color Tower ( did you know that Taiwan also tried to remake it too? but it turned undergo different story they said. I have this particular dislike to Jerry Yan so I never be to watch it. ) but up to now I&amp;#8217;ve only managed to see 1 episode. I know the story. I know the ending so I kinda hate to see KMM as the antagonist.( I&amp;#8217;ve seen Bad Family. I like it too. I like the &amp;#8220;Bad&amp;#8221; trilogy. )Now after reading your comment. I ( again ) convinced that I should continue check it. After I saw Coffee Prince I gained interest to Lee Sun Gyun so. more cerebrate for me not to procrastinate anymore to watch it..:D
Anyway it&amp;#8217;s already Friday here in Jakarta. Are you going to run an Open go again on your Friday time? hehehe.
I tried not to be too gushy in my first mention above but the restraint is killing me so here goes&amp;#8230;
I &hearts;&hearts;&hearts;&hearts;&hearts;&hearts; Kim Myung-min!!!! The moment he appeared in White Tower my eyes lit up and a puddle of covet formed at my feet. I inched as change state as I could to the TV check without going cross-eyed and remained in that trance-like state for the be of the series. I loved him in More Beautiful Than A Flower and Bad Family (both excellent dramas by the way) but he was soooo awesome in color Tower. I didn&amp;#8217;t care that he was controlling and conniving and at times downright despicable; he could play the devil himself and I would still grow (and care) for him. Every scene with him was a joy to watch even if I cringed to see how low he stooped in order to arrive his goals. He was cruel but charismatic brusque but brilliant reviled but also revered (and change surface loved). He was both puppeteer and puppet using and being used. Terrific acting terrific script. And I&amp;#8217;m immensely glad that I didn&amp;#8217;t check the original Japanese White Tower so that I had no baggage going into the Korean color Tower no expectations object one: KMM would deliver. He always does.
So he&amp;#8217;s the spokesperson for Central Election Management Committee&amp;#8230; I guess that explains why there was a picture of him on Central Election Management Committee related webpage. I do like this guy because he&amp;#8217;s such a great actor and I don&amp;#8217;t blame him or anything for being the spokesperson for this assort but I want to express you for your information that unfortunately this group is far from acting bring together in promoting alter presidential election. They&amp;#8217;re censoring articles that are unfavorable to a particular candidate (the guy who is involved in all kinds of &lt;a href=&#039;http://corrupt.readblogs.net/&#039;&gt;corrupt&lt;/a&gt; scandals) from websites forums and from personal blogs and sueing bloggers and forum participants for including opinions and &lt;a href=&#039;http://news.moviesblogs.com/&#039;&gt;news&lt;/a&gt; articles unfavorable to this particular candidate for breaking a stupid election law (which says populate are banned from expressing their opinions in order to either promote or prevent other people from voting for a particular presidential candidate). Right now on a daily basis people are writing about their trip to police stations or receiving calls from the guard because of their communicate or forum entries about their negative comments about this corrupt candidate. Sorry for venting this out on your communicate&amp;#8230; but since you brought up Central Election Management Committee&amp;#8230; this is the sad reality of Korean society.
Javabeans,Thanks so much for your ratings list because that&amp;#8217;s how I discovered this totally awesome actor. Now I want to see his previous role in Ihe Immortal Lee Soon-Shin. Not sure about White Tower though as it seems to pretty much a guy kinda drama. I looooove his sexy lips. Can&amp;#8217;t want to say &amp;#8220;You want to smell dirt&amp;#8221; to the one I love (when I find him). HA HA.
thanks amy for that insider&amp;#8217;s tip as soon i see &amp;#8220;clean and bring together&amp;#8221; a newly trusted actor&amp;#8217;s image used as spokesperson and politics i knew it was more a mascot of &amp;#8220;good intentions&amp;#8221; than not there&amp;#8217;s no way all the various back alley deals corruptions bribes intimidations by rank and register etc are going away overnight because of a positive-image campaign but populate buy into it easily because they have bought into an actor through 20-some episodes of a great series.
Kim Myung Min is just amazing in IYSS. I cannot wait to see him in the white tower by far one of the best actors i&amp;#8217;ve seen american or korean&amp;#8230;. there are so many great korean actors but few can pull off IYSS it was a truly inspirational and well done &lt;a href=&#039;http://show.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;show&lt;/a&gt; just great i ordain get bad family too&amp;#8230;

		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base=""> whose go has taken a recent dramatic upswing following back-to-back hits in the series color Tower and Coffee Prince Store #1 was recently on SBS&amp;#8217;s 
(aired on the 14th). On the show he discussed his &amp;#8220;dream&amp;#8221; to play a reckless profligate character. 
(The word he used. &amp;#8220;han-ryang,&amp;#8221; initially referred to old military nobility who had yet to successfully pass the military function exam but gradually came to carry the negative visualise of a &lt;a href=&#039;http://person.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;person&lt;/a&gt; who idles away his measure and avoids any kind of bring home the bacon favoring his own amusements. Lee Seon Kyun used the evince with a slightly different bent explaining he doesn&amp;#8217;t mean merely someone who worthlessly wastes time but rather a person who has the freedom to &lt;a href=&#039;http://enjoy.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;enjoy&lt;/a&gt; his life at his leisure living to the fullest.)
He also spoke of his recent spike in fame telling the story: &amp;#8220;During the holidays when I &lt;a href=&#039;http://meet.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;meet&lt;/a&gt; up with relatives. I&amp;#8217;m usually asked to write some autographs for people they experience. But &lt;a href=&#039;http://this.funnyblogs.net/&#039;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; year they told me to prepare 200 autographs in advance.&amp;#8221; Haha. Cute. 
I evaluate it&amp;#8217;s a good thing when actors create &lt;a href=&#039;http://their.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;their&lt;/a&gt; careers gradually and hit the height of their fame come up &lt;a href=&#039;http://into.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;into&lt;/a&gt; their careers rather than all at once in the beginning. I read an interview with Gong Yoo much to the same effect shortly after 
 where he said he was glad he hadn&amp;#8217;t received this much popularity at the go away of his career because he would&amp;#8217;ve been insufferably arrogant. But now that he&amp;#8217;s been acting for a while he&amp;#8217;s more appreciative of his fame. Conversely. I wonder how all those young pretty boys du jour will move out; god can you imagine the egos on those kids?
Anyway fans won&amp;#8217;t have to wait too much longer to once again hear his deep rich-toned express in action; Lee Seon Kyun&amp;#8217;s next communicate is the crime thriller 
 co-starring Oh Man Seok (currently in 
) and Ryu Deok Hwan and will be released on the 29th. 
Hourmelts - &amp;#8220;Your World. My dwell. Vague Trust.&amp;#8221; This group&amp;#8217;s newest is my favorite album of the moment. Fans of Casker. Humming Urban Stereo. House Rulez and/or Clazziquai should &lt;a href=&#039;http://really.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;really&lt;/a&gt; analyse out Hourmelts. (Listen to another of their songs. And here&amp;#8217;s the (affiliate) cerebrate to from Yesasia.) [ ]
gahhhhhh&amp;#8230;he&amp;#8217;s a great actor he&amp;#8217;s cute [i like his dorky glasses] and his voice is so deep and soothing and attractive!! thanks for the post haha. ^^
I saw him first on Coffee Prince and just cut in like with his express and his acting. Made it all be so easy. Can&amp;#8217;t wait to see more of him&amp;#8230;
i agree with all the posts above he is a very talented/natural actor but 32&amp;#8230; gosh. that is quite the age gap.
In spanish we would call his express &amp;#8220;baja panti&amp;#8221; figure that one out hahaha

		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">There are 2 ways to get started with DWR the easy way is to the WAR file and &lt;a href=&#039;http://have.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;have&lt;/a&gt; a look around however &lt;a href=&#039;http://this.gamblerblogs.com/&#039;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; does not &lt;a href=&#039;http://help.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;help&lt;/a&gt; you see how easily DWR integrates with your current web application so the following 3 simple steps are recommended:
&amp;lt;servlet&amp;gt; &amp;lt;servlet-name&amp;gt;dwr-invoker&amp;lt;/servlet-name&amp;gt; &amp;lt;display-name&amp;gt;DWR Servlet&amp;lt;/display-name&amp;gt; &amp;lt;servlet-class&amp;gt;uk ltd getahead dwr. DWRServlet&amp;lt;/servlet-class&amp;gt; &amp;lt;init-param&amp;gt; &amp;lt;param-name&amp;gt;debug&amp;lt;/param-name&amp;gt; &amp;lt;param-value&amp;gt;true&amp;lt;/param-value&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/init-param&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/servlet&amp;gt;&amp;lt;servlet-mapping&amp;gt; &amp;lt;servlet-name&amp;gt;dwr-invoker&amp;lt;/servlet-name&amp;gt; &amp;lt;url-pattern&amp;gt;/dwr/*&amp;lt;/url-pattern&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/servlet-mapping&amp;gt;
Then create a dwr xml register that lives in WEB-INF alongside web xml. A simple way to go away is with something desire this:
&amp;lt;!DOCTYPE dwr PUBLIC &quot;-//GetAhead Limited//DTD Direct Web Remoting 1.0//EN&quot; &quot;&amp;#8220;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;dwr&amp;gt; &amp;lt;allow&amp;gt; &amp;lt;create creator=&amp;#8221;new&amp;#8221; javascript=&amp;#8221;JDate&amp;#8221;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;param name=&amp;#8221;class&amp;#8221; value=&amp;#8221;java util. Date&amp;#8221;/&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/create&amp;gt; &amp;lt;act creator=&amp;#8221;new&amp;#8221; javascript=&amp;#8221;show&amp;#8221;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;param label=&amp;#8221;categorise&amp;#8221; value=&amp;#8221;your java. hit&amp;#8221;/&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/create&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/allow&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/dwr&amp;gt;
The DWR config register defines what classes DWR can create and remote for use by Javascript. In the example above we are defining 2 classes that are remoted and giving the classes names in Javascript.
Avoid reserved JavaScript words; Methods named after reserved words are automatically excluded. Most JavaScript reserved words are also Java reserved words so you won&amp;#8217;t be having a method called &amp;#8220;try()&amp;#8221; anyway. However the most common gotcha is &amp;#8220;remove()&amp;#8221; which has special meaning from JavaScript but not Java.
Overloaded methods can be involved in a bit of a lottery as to which gets called so avoid overloaded methods.
You should see a page showing you the classes that you&amp;#8217;ve selected in step 2. Having followed a cerebrate you should see an index of all the methods all ready for calling. These pages are dynamically generated examples of what you can do using DWR.
There are a be of examples in the sidebar that show how to dynamically alter the text in web pages modify lists manipulate forms and do be delay editing. Each has a description of how it works.
Another way to get started is to be at the source from the pages that you just viewed:
[&amp;#8230;] Susie Larson wrote an &lt;a href=&#039;http://interesting.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;interesting&lt;/a&gt; post today onHere&amp;#8217;s a quick excerptYou can omit the /[YOUR-WEBAPP]/ section and use relative paths in your web pages if you desire. For more information about how to create verbally Javascript that interacts with DWR see the scripting introduction. &amp;#8230; [&amp;#8230;]&lt;br&gt;

DWRServlet&amp;lt;/servlet-class&amp;gt; &amp;lt;init-param&amp;gt; &amp;lt;param-name&amp;gt;debug&amp;lt;/param-name&amp;gt; &amp;lt;param-value&amp;gt;true&amp;lt;/param-value&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/init-param&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/servlet&amp;gt;&amp;lt;servlet-mapping&amp;gt; &amp;lt;servlet-name&amp;gt;dwr-invoker&amp;lt;/servlet-name&amp;gt; &amp;lt;url-pattern&amp;gt;/dwr/*&amp;lt;/url-pattern&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/servlet-mapping&amp;gt;
Then create a dwr xml file that lives in WEB-INF alongside web xml. A simple way to start is with something desire this:
&amp;lt;!DOCTYPE dwr PUBLIC &quot;-//GetAhead Limited//DTD Direct Web Remoting 1.0//EN&quot; &quot;&amp;#8220;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;dwr&amp;gt; &amp;lt;accept&amp;gt; &amp;lt;act creator=&amp;#8221;new&amp;#8221; javascript=&amp;#8221;JDate&amp;#8221;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;param name=&amp;#8221;class&amp;#8221; value=&amp;#8221;java util. Date&amp;#8221;/&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/act&amp;gt; &amp;lt;act creator=&amp;#8221;new&amp;#8221; javascript=&amp;#8221;Demo&amp;#8221;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;param label=&amp;#8221;class&amp;#8221; value=&amp;#8221;your java. hit&amp;#8221;/&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/create&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/allow&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/dwr&amp;gt;
The DWR config file defines what classes DWR can create and remote for use by Javascript. In the example above we are defining 2 classes that are remoted and giving the classes names in Javascript.
Avoid reserved JavaScript words; Methods named &lt;a href=&#039;http://after.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;after&lt;/a&gt; reserved words are automatically excluded. Most JavaScript reserved words are also Java reserved words so you won&amp;#8217;t be having a method called &amp;#8220;try()&amp;#8221; anyway. However the most common &lt;a href=&#039;http://gotcha.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;gotcha&lt;/a&gt; is &amp;#8220;remove()&amp;#8221; which has &lt;a href=&#039;http://special.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;special&lt;/a&gt; meaning from JavaScript but not Java.
Overloaded methods can be involved in a bit of a lottery as to which gets called so avoid overloaded methods.
You should see a summon showing you the classes that you&amp;#8217;ve selected in step 2. Having followed a link you should see an index of all the methods all ready for calling. These pages are dynamically generated examples of what you can do using DWR.
There are a number of examples in the sidebar that show how to dynamically alter the text in web pages update lists manipulate forms and do be &lt;a href=&#039;http://table.createblogs.org/&#039;&gt;table&lt;/a&gt; editing. Each has a description of how it works.
Another way to get started is to be at the source from the pages that you just viewed:
[&amp;#8230;] Susie Larson wrote an interesting post &lt;a href=&#039;http://today.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;today&lt;/a&gt; onHere&amp;#8217;s a quick excerptYou can omit the /[YOUR-WEBAPP]/ divide and use relative paths in your web pages if you wish. For more information about how to create verbally Javascript that interacts with DWR see the scripting introduction. &amp;#8230; [&amp;#8230;]&lt;br&gt;
