Counting down to pumpkin pie day.

Nobody on my (tiny) flist saw Twilight? Doesn't it have the dreamiest guy ever or something? Didn't the actor create the fanbase for Cedric x Harry fansmut?
Anyway, I'm waiting until it hits abc family tv.

I was really going to finish up Beethoven Virus before starting a new drama, but previewed a couple shows and got hooked on one....

For my next kdrama, it was between 'Worlds Within' or 'The Painter of the Wind'. 'Worlds Within' is about a couple that works in the tv drama industry; drama within a drama. It was rather dull, so I'm choosing the fanservice-filled drama instead. I pretty much devoured the first few episodes.



The Painter of the Wind 1-5! is based on a historical figure, Shin Yoon-bok. The popularity of the drama seems to have prompted a movie about the same person. The movie is called 'Portrait of a Beauty' and is already out in theaters. The trailer to the movie is here; the kdrama is not as sexy.

Shin Yoon-bok was a male artist from the Joseon era, but there was a novel written hypothetically making him a female, and the drama and movie writers obviously liked that angle; thus, fun for all. In the drama we start off seeing Yoon-bok crossdressing as a male art student at a school specifically tied to the royal court. Right away, the writers establish that she/he is talented, easily gets into trouble, and likes to look at beautiful women; yeah, the homo-vibes are sure to be fun.
