싱글파파는 열애중 / Single Papa in Love

This was the first Korean drama that I've watched in awhile.Since AZN went off the air back in April, I've watched nothing but Japanese dramas online, along with a few Korean & Japanese movies. Korean dramas tend to run on, and the average has about 20 episodes to get through. When you have to record something on television, you're limited to an hour a day. When you can watch all, 20 episodes in one sitting ...I tried that with Tropical Nights...

Umizaru: Evolution

I'm so happy to know that there is a 3rd Umizaru!Hurricanes occur in America every year, and a majority of the time, those weather systems do not affect us here in the north. This year, all that changed and I think this was the rainiest week on record. With nowhere to go on such a dismal weekend, I stayed home and watched Asian dramas online. I started with Umizaru (Sea Monkey) which was a movie. It captivated me enough to make me want to watch...

Warlords (2007)

Tóu Míng ZhuàngThis bloody piece of work stars Andy Lau, Jet Li, and Takeshi Kaneshiro. Leading up to it's premiere, this dark and dismal flick garnered much in the way of anticipatory excitement in Asia and abroad, but I have no idea about what occurred afterward.It's the story of a soldier who survives a bloody battle, and after he wanders into a filthy and desolate encampment, he manages to encourage the men to follow him into battle against...

Umizaru (2004)

Sea MonkeysIn the first half of this movie, I was laughing my ass off, and in the last half, I had tears in my eyes.This line will probably stick with me for awhile, too: "Two divers...one tank with 30 bars...40 meters underwater. What do you plan to do?"This one, too: "I had sex with a sea monkey?"Um ... I wish I could say that I had!!!I watched this because it starred Ito Hideaki, whom you all know by now is my FAVORITE Japanese actor. He joins...

Can't Live Without Robbery / 도둑맞곤 못살아

This was FUNNY!!!What a refreshing change to see my love-interest in something besides a dark, dismal drama with a predictable, unhappy ending! He actually smiled a few times, too!Robbery came out back in 2002, and I'm just now getting around to watching it thanks to Crunchyroll. I still need to see Glass Slipper, Law Firm, We Are Dating Now, Delicious Proposal, and Models.The movie (also known as Steal it if You Can, The Thief Maker, or Dodookmatgo...
