Obsessed

So I'm totally obsessed and addicted to this drama called "Boys Over Flowers". I've done little but watch episode after episode the past 24 hours. My rear end and legs hurt from being inactive, and I've consumed way too many calories along the way.

However, there are great character profiles that I've derived from watching. If you ever need a good Cinderella story, Korean dramas are full of them (practically 99%). Imagine "Paradise" or "Double Standards" by Judith McNaught, and there you have it! And, I'm progressing along on Chapter 2, though not complete. And, I did go running today. And, I'm making excuses...will be back on track soon. I swear!

Boys Over Flowers

Just when my lunch plans were cancelled and I sighed with relief as it meant that I had more time to write this afternoon, my friend emails me the link to a Korean drama website. If you've never watched a Korean drama and love romantic story lines and convoluted plots, you must give it a try! It's addictive. Like romance novels.

The site has Chinese and Japanese dramas too. Plots and story lines are similar, but they differ a little in style.

Anyway, the one I'm watching now is "Boys Over Flowers". It's originally a Japanese manga of which there is an English version (published by VIZ in the states) and now a Korean drama. My sister watched this a while ago and liked it, and my friend read the manga and liked it. So here I am...not doing what I'm supposed to.

But, I'm limiting myself to one episode a day countered by a visit to the gym. Balance is the key.

And my resolution for today: to finish my revision of Chapter 2!
