Drama - 最后之舞 (Save Your Last Dance for Me)

Erm ... I seriously think I got hooked to Korean dramas. How come we don't have such script writers locally who can come up with such romantic story line. Anyway, I've once again completed another heart wreaking romance drama which I complete in record timing. All because the story is just too touching ...


Eunsoo (Eugene) is a pure but unsophisticated woman who runs a small resort inn with her father. Eunsoo is just an ordinary girl, but her life changes when she meets a man (Ji Sung) who’s completely lost his memory. She takes him in and cares for him, and even gives him a name: “Baek Changho”.

Love blossoms, and soon wedding bells can be heard. But on the night of their wedding ceremony, Eunsoo’s father passes away. And soon after, Changho disappears too! In the blink of an eye, the two people Eunsoo loves most in the world have left her. But Changho had his reasons for disappearing: his real name is Kang Hyunwoo, and he’s heir to a large conglomerate. Even more, someone is plotting to kill him.

Drama - 仁心解码 (A Great Way To Care)

KO LAP YAN (Fong Chung Sun), Senior Psychiatrist of Yan Wo Hospital, is a competent and kind-hearted doctor who specializes in severe schizophrenia and even minor mental illness. YAN cures his patients by not only medication but also by psychological analysis. He diagnoses the cause with reference to the symptoms. The plot is interesting, intricate and extraordinary.

The Psychiatrist LIN CHI SUM (Cheung Chi Kwong) and the nurse LI YING CHUN (Wong Ho Yin) are both good friends of YAN. CHUN is keen on helping people. He has cured a patient suffering from binge eating disorder SUEN KA PIK (Yeo Vivien). They have overcome a lot of difficulties and become a couple.

YAN is a divorced single father with a daughter. After the failed marriage, he did not long for love affairs until he chanced upon an Inspector of Serious Crime Unit MOK MAN YEE (Tsui Tsz Shan, Kate). They have gradually developed their relationship through business contact. However, in order to avoid recurrence of genetic mental disease, YEE detaches her feeling from YAN.

秋天的童话 (Autumn Fairy Tale)
冬季恋歌 (Winter Sonata)

"每次遇见你，我的心跳就会加速。难道这就是爱情？"
"每次遇见你， 我的心跳已经认出你。 我想这就是爱情。"

- quotes from the drama

Yoo Min-woo’s (Song Seung Heon) first love was Soh Eun-hye (Shin Ae). No love was greater than the love between these two until Eun-hye got into a car accident. Eun-hye dies leaving one thing left behind ... her heart.

Shim Hye-won (Son Yeh Jin) has suffered from a terrible heart disease ever since childhood. Miraculously she finds that she will be obtaining a heart from a donor.

Suffering from the pain of a heartache, Min-woo goes to Italy to study but the memories of Eun-hye still rest in his heart. When he returns to Korea, fate takes a turn and brings Hye-won and Min-woo together. When the two first meet, Hye-won’s heart (Eun-hye’s heart), oddly beats faster when she is around Min-woo.

Park Jung-jae (Ryu Jin) is Hye-won’s boyfriend. Park Jung-ah (Han Ji Hye) is Jung-jae’s sister and she meets Min-woo in Italy and falls for him.

Hye-won doesn’t know why or what she feels when she’s with Min-woo. Min-woo feels guilty toward Eun-hye, because the feeling of love rises once again as he continues to see Hye-won.

Day 129 of JM's US Detachment Trip

2 weeks back, Oswald was playing with JM's Tantrix game while waiting for grandma to put him to bed. This was what happened ...


Though this was not what it supposed to be like if you follow the rules of the game but for a 4 year old to piece out something like that ... hmm ... I think it was pretty amazing. I only got to know of it when I woke up in the morning and my FIL told me to check out what Oswald did.

Owein checked out his gor gor's work too and he brought a 'friend' along ...


He said "Cow cow eat mum mum ..." We all had a good laugh when we heard him say that ... LOL.

Day 127 of JM's US Detachment Trip

RIP ... little fishy ... hope you did not have to suffer so much before you leave.

The little fish friend that my FIL got as companion for the fish that Oswald brought back from his field trip to Qian Hu Fish Farm was being bullied. Constantly being attacked by the other fish and I think it was terrorised.

I'd noticed it swimming in a very funny position a few days back but my FIL told me it would be alright hence I ignore it. But who knows, I was observing it today and many a times it swam upside down ... I think it was really a bit hint that something is really wrong. My FIL then seperated the fishes, hoping that the little fish will feel better after given some peace. But still ... it did not make it. It ended its life this evening ... RIP fishy.
