Will be visiting
bumpybear over on the other side of the country outside of SF.
Anohana 7! Jintan and Anaru get part-time jobs to buy fireworks for one of Menma's wishes.

City Hunter 1! kdrama based on the Japanese manga...of course, this being a kdrama interpretation, it is very loosely based on the manga. The first half of the episode builds up a dramatic background for the main character. His father and his father's friend are a part of a special ops team for Korea who infiltrate North Korea intending to kill off top officials. The South Korean gov't chickens out while the team is actually carrying out the mission, and then attempts to kill their men to hide the evidence. The father dies saving the friend. The friend naturally hates the gov't, kidnaps the father's newly born son, and decides to raise him away from Korea. Yes, I thought it was a tad convoluted, too. Well, the friend strictly raises the boy at some sort of drug-dealing guerilla camp in SE Asia. One day the friend loses a leg saving the son from death, and tells him the half-truth about his real father. He essentially raised him to take his and his father's revenge against the five people responsible for that fateful decision. 7 years later, Yoon-sung (played by the Korean Doumyouji) gets himself a Gucci suitcase and some hot pink pants and returns to Seoul. He also has a mother complex, so I'm betting he'll be looking for his mother. He's hot and the show starts off with a lot of action. Not totally sold right now, but may marathon the whole show later on.
