I almost didnt want to waste time blogging this because its really lame but since its the last ep, I thought I will do a quick one.
Summer's Desire: Episode 14 Recap
Ouchen discovered the letter and handed over to Luoxi to read. Luoxi already guessed the whole movie was sponsored by Ouchen who decided on the script to help Xiamo. Luoxi questioned his choice in using him as the actor but ouchen simply said he knew luoxi would not hurt Xiamo emotionally and know her well. Plus Ouchen said he will leave if that is what xiamo wants to be happy.
In the scene, Luoxi "read" out the letter as if it was from the character. He said that he is never really gone, and that he will always be there with Xiamo. While xiamo may not see him, however he is watching over xiamo from heaven everyday everymoment. Xiamo's joy is his joy magnified by 100times, but her sadness is also his sadness by 100 fold.

Ouchen was shocked to find her missing but she returned apologising she had gone to see the doctor to ask if her previous frame of grief would affect the baby's growth. Ouchen was relieved. Xiamo said she will work hard to be a good mother and to take care of ouchen as well. He listened on without a word.
Later when she went back to work, ouchen exoplained that he has a lot of work to do and so he cannot visit her on set anymore. Xiamo told zhenen that recently she hardly sees ouchen and that much that she wanted to stay up and chat with him, yet she is always too sleept with wth the baby. However, she said she could always feel him by her side caring for her. It was also then that zhen en mentioned that Xiamo seemed to be talking about Ouchen alot.

In office, ouchen was surprised to see xiamo visiting him and asleep in office,. he got mad at the secretary for not getting a blanket to cover xiamo and tenderly walk over to his wife. She woked and said she has a picture to show him. At home, after tucking xiamo to bed, ouchen saw the baby diary video and happily induged in it.

At the presentation award ceremony, xiamo won the best actress and she thanked all her friends who were there to help her and her brother. Ouchen smiled and left with his luggage leaving a letter for xiamo. While saying her thanks, zhenen said an sms saying that ouchen is leaving town. Xiamo left the awards abruptly.
During the journey to airport, ouchen's letter was read. He declared that he had fallen in love with xiamo since he was 14yr, the day his car nearly knocked her down. As she grew up, he was filled with anxiety that others will steal her away from him. Finally it happened when Luoxi appeared. And when he lost his memory, he was once again attracted by Xiamo and again he was consumed with jealous and insecurity of wanting to keep her only for himself. So he realised that he has to stop being selfish and to leave for france in order to set her freem giving her the freesdom she deserve.
At the airport, Ouchen saw the telcast of xiamo tribute to him, saying that she could only made it this far because if her hubby who was there by her side every second, every minute. Ouchen was surprised and happy to hear the speech but was still determined to leave. Xiamo rushed there in time to catch him in time saying she has read the letter. He explained he need to leave so she can be happy. Xiamo said doesnt he understand that she has fallen in love with him and asked him not to leave. With that they happily hugged in the airport.
Next scene, Xamo was holding an exhibition showcasing all xiaochen's work. it was well received. Luoxi's boss appeared and asked to buy the self portrait but xiamo said its not for sale but she will give it to him. As he left, he asked xiamo to keep him posted of the baby boy's delivery. Xiamo and ouchen both said they will.
Another day, xiamo and ouchen was strolling in a garden. xiamo explained she used to walk this stretch with her brother to school.

Zhong Wu Yan: Episode 6 Summary and Recap
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Summary
Xuan drove the blind guy and Wuyan to a forest as part of the "tour visit" for the blind guy (who use the alias as Huo hua to conceal his real identity). Wuyan asked him upfront if he was the guy in Qing's car the other day, and which is the reason why they would consider working with Qi's company. Hua said he is only the nephew and he has no say in company affairs. In the forest, Wuyan raised all the questions and her suspicions and finally concluded rightly that Qing company has no intention to work with Qi company at all from the start but only to mock Xuan.
Hua kept mocking at Xuan's stupidity infront of Wuyan. Wuyan tried to stick up for Xuan saying that he has no right to judge xuan. However Hua asked does it make sense for xuan to bring a BLIND GUY to the nature to enjoy its beauty? Wuyan was stumped initially but she picked a flower and asked him to smell it. She proceeded to ask Hua to consider experiencing the nature using his other senses such as smell and hearing. At this moment, Xuan also appeared and aplogised to Hua saying that his initial thought was only to let him enjoy nature since Hua may want to be away from city, however he forgot that Hua could not see. He then proceed to do what Wuyan had done earlier and tried to show Hua different other ways to enjoy the nature without sight. Hua's mood was visbily affected and he asked to go back as it was going to rain. Xuan asked how could it be since the weather looked fine?
On way to car, it poured and Xuan hurried the 2 to teh car. However Hua heard an animal distress cries and stopped. Xuan said he didnt hear anything and tried to prevent Hua from walking close to the slope edge or he might fall. However, Xuan fell down instead. Wuyan who instinctively tried to save him also got dragged down leaving hua alone in shock!
At the bottom seeing her injuries and twisted shoulder, Xuan complained Wuyan shouldnt have tried to saved him as now he would be blamed for her injuries. Wuyan snapped that if she had a min to consider she wont save him either. Just then, they heard the goat's distress call and it was in hard labour. Xuan tried to stop her from helping to give birth to the baby in breech condition but she said the young ones would be motherless if she doesnt try, and the mother goat only has her to save her now. Hearing that, Xuan stepped in and said she is wrong, the goat also has him to help save her and he wont want the little ones to be motherless. During teh process, he was shocked by the blood as it reminded him of his mother's car accident. Hua called Wuyan again and she explained she had located the missing goat and what they are doing. Hua said the goat owner is with him and they will try to get them to safety. The birth delivery was a success!
At the goat owner home, the owner invited them to see the little ones and thanked xuan. Xuan was sooo happy that he hugged wuyan, thanking her for giving him strength to presevere on. He explained his greatst "acheivement" was to give up, and his greatest "failure" was to hang on during tough times. Yet today, with Wuyan's encouragement and presence, he had done something he never thought he could. Hua listened on in silence while wuyan was alittle shock by the hug.
When Wuyan sent Hua back, she reminded him not to toy with Xuan and to look at the proposal. She has no complaints if its is deem a bad proposal but she hoped it will not be rejected because of "personal dislike". Hua said if it is a good proposal, of course it will be considered. Wuyan quizzed didnt hua said he had no position or say in the matter earlier? Hua left in silence.
When Wuyan turned ard, she couldnt find xuan and wondered if he had driven home without her. Xuan appeared to her relief and he gave her vit C tablet explaining he had gone to buy it as she looks like she was going to catch a cold. He couldnt see any shops along teh way and so he took the chance to grab some while she sent hua up. She asked why was he being so nice and he said "didnt we agree to be in truce and be at peace with each other?"
Back at home, Qing (Hua) asked his uncle if he thinks it was a good proposal too and the uncle agreed. He asked why did Qing Chu changed his mind. Qing explained when he was blind, the thing he hate and loathe most was the ridicule and arrogrance of ignorant people, as well as the overflowing sympathy towards him. While he hated the discrimination, he had also unknowninly been critical and discriminating towards Xuan labelling him as Stupid idiot as well. With that, he decided they will go ahead with teh project with Xuan.
When Xuan got back, he was surprised to see Xia Ying Chun at his place, on pretext to deliver good news of a famouse photographer willing to shoot the commercial. The father realised they liked each other when grandma asked why are they holding hands. When Xuan walked her out, she asked if Wuyan was the woman the father wanted Xuan to marry. He asked how did she kknow but she said she didnt but he just confirmed it. he assured that he wont pick wuyan. Xia asked why and xuan replied because xia is beautiful and sexy. Xia asked if she is no longer so will he still like her? Xuan paused and said he cannot answer as he doesnt know and he wont lie to her saying otherwise. Xia accepted it and said it is fine. However she requested that she will use her own foundation and not Xuan's product as she can only use certain brands. Xuan said its ok.
At the shoot however, Tian's lackey did something (after they discovered xia' allergy problem from another male model) an xia's back broke out in rash patches. She ran off. Xuan's father, Qing and his uncle, and the gloating Tian director were all there asking him what is the next step. Xuan explained its impoosible as she will take a week to recover but the photographer only have 15mins left before taking the next flight out of taiwan.
Xuan's father wondered aloud how is it posible for the allergy since he only use natural product but Xuan innocently said it wasnt their product. Xuan father was so mad that he slapped him before everyone. Tian left while gloating and making sacastic emarks. At the desperate moment, Xuan almost gave up again but Wuyan stepped up and offered to be the "bare back model".
However before the camera, Wuyan was shivering in fright and hestitating to strip. All the workers and the photopgrapher were impatiently scolding her but Xuan and Qing Chu asked them to shut up. Qing offered to help her unbutton her shirt since he was blind and she was still afriad. He taught her to be "blind" for 3 mins and ignore what everyone's looks and faces. Mustering her courage, she closed her eyes with determination and took off her shirt for the shoot with Qing firmly handing her hand standiong by the side. When the shoot was over, Xuan rushed forward to try to cover Wuyan but Qing had already beat him to it and led her away.
Xuan looked alittle lost at the two walking away from him...

Playful kiss Teaser 2
I am sooo anticipating for Playful kiss to air! I think (well its a secret wish) that KHJ will do well here to win over critics of his last performance. I dont think he is a bad actor in flower boys, I just think the role wasnt a good role in there. They made him too princely....so hopefully in here, he can have more expressions like being annoyed, being pissed, being amused with a dash of romantic dreaminess etc etc....essentially being more "realistic" a character.
I am definitely looking forward to being entertained. Afterall it is adapted from a a manga and so I am preparing to be indulge myself like I would reading a comic. I love this 2nd teaser more than the first because it showed a wider range of KHJ's expressions. How can he still be sooooooo charming even if he is yelling at Hani? LOL...
Source Credit: Abstract from Hancinema
About the question regarding his somewhat delayed comeback to acting after "Boys over Flowers", Kim answered, "I had performed very hard as a singer so far by releasing an album". He added, "Before taking this role, I was worried about how I can play a high school student because I am already 25 years old. But I had been informed that the production director Hwang In-roi would direct this drama, so I applied to have an audition and earned the role of a high school student. While acting, I am trying to speak as aggressively as possible. I sometimes have to shout and show a disheveled appearance in the drama, so I might be able to present more interesting acting than I did in 'Boys over Flowers'."
Kim Hyun-joong, who belongs to the group SS501, had been caught up in controversy over his acting ability due to his rather inaccurate pronunciation. He said, "I am practicing speaking while biting a cork stopper to create more accurate pronunciation. I still feel ashamed when people call me an actor. I am acting as an actor, but it is still more natural for me to stand on the stage as a singer. As I am trying very hard to acquire qualifications to become a real actor, I think that I might be able to say confidently that I am an actor someday in the future. I will be happy if I can hear people's evaluation saying, 'He put more effort on acting in this drama than when he appeared in 'Boys over Flowers'."

Playful Kiss
K-Drama: Revenge of the Gumiho, Baker King KTG
Just wanted to shout out about the 2 dramas I have been doing marathon for days! Finished watching "Revenge of the Gumiho" and still chasing the tail of "Baker King, KTG".
Watched Revenge purely out of curiosity as to how the plot will develop. It's an ok series with strong moral ethical message but as all supernatural drama, its full of enormous loop holes and unexplainable scenes. Plus i didnt quite like the "love story" between the 10yr old and the older boy. I mean errr....sorry, 10yrs old is really too young to be in love as far as I am concerned, esp in an Asian society. I think even in olden days, they dont mature that young or fall in love that early. So I found the love concept alittle hard to accept and prob is what kills the joy of watching the drama partially. Towards the end, I felt the drama was losing steam and focus in the whole revenge plot, which also prompted me to skip forward here and there. A sad happy ending which aims to satisfy the mainstream crowd that supports the message all parents will do anything for their children, and a reminder not to sell your "soul and ethics" just for your personal selfish gain no matter how much glorify or try to justify a wrong doing.
Baker King on the otherhand is completely unexpectedly good. The up and downs were superbly captivating. The inner struggles between the step brothers, the evil plotting of the selfish mother and lover, the stupid father, the miserable ex-gf full of self-inflicted angst and the kind baker teacher....the interwinning destiny was totally absorbing! 4 more episodes to the end and I will surely be stewing in my seat for the 2 weeks while on holiday. Now that Kim has gone back to the main house with the father down with illness, I love to see the reaction of the stepmother and the lover..how much more schemeing can they go on when the dad has given Kim all the company shares? I was so sad the teacher died....I wish he lived on to see Kim succeed....i nearly wanted to cry...actually there were many moving scenes that touched me and draw me to tears.
If I must choose again, I would prob not pick up revenge of Gumiho and just stick to Baker king.
That's about all I suppose. Just wanted to do a short update before I go to sleep. It's 5am and I will surely pay for the sleep depriavtion tomorrow... ;p Laterz.

Hotaru no Hikari 2: Ep 8 review and Summary
The episode is ok but not that interesting. I did the summary a while after watching it so I hope I rem the sequence and conversations details correctly.
Hotaru no Hikari 2: Episode 8 recap
『干物女の両家顔合せ』
The story kicked off with Buchou coming home to see a deliver box.
Listening to Hotaru mumble to herself, he guessed correctly that she was gonna say its such a bother - the whole marriage thingie. Hotaru saw Buchou and "awoke" from her drunked daze, with Buchou "scowling" repeating her drunken words "that marriage is a bother!: Hotaru tried to escape saying that t was all the alcohol talking and not her:) She pretended in a small voice as if it was the bottle and apologised to Buchou. He told her to uit messing ard and go clean up!
Next morning, Seno asking Sakura to pass the jersey to Hotaru. Seno mentioned that he will be heading off to the site and talked to the renovators before going home to sleep. He added he had thought about what Sakura had said to him, about snatching Hotaru from Buchou. Sakura asked if he is waitin for Hotaru's feelings with Buchou to cool down ( I think it meant something like becoming disppasionate). Seno however said he is only waiting for his own feelings towards Hotaru to ease.
In office, Sakura passed the jersey to Hotaru and asked her to talk to Seno in changing his mind not to resign. Sakuru said wont it be troublesome too for Hotaru if Seno quit now? Buchou listened on and memory of their last arguement came to his mind...
At home, Buchou asked Hotaru to his room and sit down. He started off saying that because he is older, he is more experienced in love (as he is always well liked by girls), he is able to think more coolly and calmly about their relationship now. He showed her the opened book on his bedside table. He explained that he had rushed off to work leaving the book as such. The "Him" in the past would never have done this, leaving a mess. It was because of Hotaru's influence that made him do these. However he also see it as a form of personal growth. Hotaru exclaimed if she had led Buchou astray with her bad habits. Buchou said that over time, she had indeed influenced him and changed him over time and it was good. In the past, if he should have been the young passionate guy he was then, he would have grabbed hotaru and pushed her to the bed. Hotaru was shocked but Buchou assured her the "monster" had gone on holiday and she is safe. He added that with Hotaru, his heart feels full and his life colourful and happy, and he cherish her existence, and no matter what, she will always be the woman he love and the woman for him, even if there are moments where he may "look at other woman." since he is a man afterall. Hotaru who was initially over the moon went "chey" in the end hearing that.
As they are packing, Buchou told Hotaru that it is about time that he should meet her parents on pretext of their upcoming wedding, and tell the about the wonderful man he has met. Buchou said she had better go contact her family before she starts to find it a bother. Hotaru said as such she had better tell her elder sister. Buchou was suprised to hear that she even had a sister. Hotaru said even though her sister lived nearby but they dont stay in contact often as she is lazy. Buchou commented to think someone else suffering the same plight as him... Hotaru shared that despite their infrequent contact, her sister did tell Hotaru to look her up if she ever need help or anything. Hotaru called her sister to inform about the wedding news and about Buchou's request to meet the parents. However the sister say dont bother as the parents know how hotaru is like (findng everything a bother) and it was ok.
Sachiko returned work one day earlier than planned. She too recall the conversation she had with Shouji, with him asking her if she wont regret quitting after marriage. When Hotaru saw her, she asked if she could seeked her advice about somethng. Sachiko said alrite but she is meeting Natsu and if it is ok, Hotaru could come along. During teh meal, Natsu said alot of preparation work and troublesome things to do for wedding preparation. Both Sachiko and Hotaru was surprised. However, Sachiko reminded Hotaru that for Buchou, she must endure it and put up with it as afteerall, they are both working in the same company, and that Buchou is after her manager.
With that thought in mind, Hotaru changed her attitude and was more proactive about the whole wedding prep matter surprising Buchou. She proposed to check the auspicious dates and match their schedule to do all the prep work (eg: meet parents, gown trial, pick ring etc) At the same time, Hotaru's sister called to meet Buchou and said that she had previously insisted Hotaru to save money in a regualr deposit (as the sister know she will spend all if no one watch over her). She passed the bankbook to Buchou for the wedding. He tried to explain that he had to meet Hotaru's parent as this is not his first marriage but the sister said it is ok as they all trust Hotaru and her choices. So it was not necessary for him to insist on meeting the parents such an old fashion thingie (same thing as hotaru had said) as they will be fine.
At home Hotaru read wedding magazine to find out the things involved. Buchou sat her down and said she prob will meet with the most troublesome thing in her life. She said she understand and he was surprised as it was a tedious thing. Hotaru said she understand. Buchou said really its ok? She said yes and asked to plan the schedule now as otehrwise she will find it a bother later. Buchou went ahead as she requested. She actively circled the date and decided promptly surprising Buchou.
The next day in the lift, when Hotaru found out that Seno design plan had to change as the cost could not cover taking the wall down, she spend all her time recalculating the cost to try to fit in the original design with the corridor open air coffee shop theme as she knew Natsu really wanted it. She pleaded to delay stariing of work so she can look for other options. Seno got mad at her and asked why must she keep insisting on the impossible when both himself and Natsu already understood. However, Hotaru persist in her ways and she ended up missing and forgetting the wedding gown appointment, leaving Buchou alone waiting....
At home, she bowed and apologised to Buchou but he said it was ok as he had already heard about it as another staff had called him. He asked if he should try to help but Hotaru said she prefer not to bother him for work as well and she can handle it. Buchou joking said that yeah, she only want to trouble him with private matters....Meanwhile Buchou mentioned about meeting the parents, and wondered where will be a good venue. Hotaru said forget it as they wont care and at home is fine, plus its so troublesome. However Buchou inisisted it it only right to have both families meet up in a nice place as part of the formality. When Hotaru realised it was for Buchou, she started grumbling its all a hassle and forget it. Buchou told her to stop her antics and get back to talk properly. She said she had thought it was for Buchou which is why she tried so hard but if it was her parents they wont care. Buchou said she must listen to him this time but she said its a marriage between him and her and not her parents. Thinkg about what he said, Hotaru called Buchou to apologise again, and he asked if she is lying comfortably in bed while apologisong. She got up in shock asking how did he know. She then said she is sorry and will do what he said. he asked her ring size but she said M. He said she should come along as M is for clothes not ring. Then Hotaru said she didnt call him in Hk was because she will miss him and want to be by his side when she hears his voice. Buchou said, in Hk she cannot fly to him immediately. He asked if she is now heading to his room? Hotaru asked if the "leacherous monster" is there? Buchou laughed and said perhaps it is back from its holiday and Hotaru ran back to his room.
The next day, Hotaru tried asking all the renovators she knew but to no avail. However that nite, Seno sent her an sms that he had found one willing to do it. Hotaru dashed down to the site to see Seno and the renovator in time. Seno explained that the renovator wanted to try starting up his biz away from his father shadows and thus was willing to take the project regardless of cost. The renovator said rather he liked seno's design. Seno explained he had found the guy thru someone he knew in university and offered beer to her, quoting her statement that beer taste the best after a day hardwork. Hotaru said she didnt do anything to help but seno said that it was her preserverence that had motivated him to also persist on. As they chatted, Seno shared that the senior who recommended the renovator had asked him to consider joining him in New York for some design work. He said after all it is about time that he should learn to settle down properly and form some life rountine. Hotaru said he is still young afterall.
Meanwhile Hotaru got drunk and slept at Natsu worksite. Buchou was waiting for her at the ring shop as they had earlier agreed to go together to make sure they got the right size. Natsu tried to explain why Hotaru was there but Buchou asked to talk to Hotaru and asked her to be there. Just before Hotaru was rushing off, Seno got injured and they all rushed off to hospital. Buchou ended up alone again...
When Hotaru got home, she apologised again. Saying that they had got too happy, drunk too much and fell asleep, plus she didn mean to miss the ring appointment but that Seno had gotten injured. Buchou said Seno should be alright right? Hotaru explained because Seno had also hurt his head so they stayed on to ensure the examination reveals his head is not injured too. Buchou asked if Hotaru was drinking "with seno?" Hotaru said the 3 of them with Natsu. Buchou said "she is not that kind of woman. Natsu is not the sort to drink, get drunk and not go home. She must have lied to try to cover for you."
Then Buchou got up and said that "let's live seperately." Hotaru asked why, why should it be so? Buchou said it wasnt her fault, but it was his problem. "Hotaru was shocked. She questioned Buchou what problem and why is it his problem, shouldnt it be their probem, as they had agreed for them to solve together? She said she didnt understand and that he should explain things clearly and better. "Like in the past, to explain things gently, or coolly"
Buchou retorted that "it is preceisely that I cannot expplain it well, which is why i need to be alone to think quietly for a while. But dont'e worry, I will come back.I dun dislike you." That said, Buchou turned and left.
Meanwhile, Shouji was also apologising to Sachiko. it looks like he was also leaving. Sachiko askd what happened and why was he going away for 3 days 2 nite privately and why was he apologising. Shouji didnt say anything except to apologise...
Alone and feeling sad, Hotaru heard a voice mail. it was her sister.She said her parents are overjoyed at her wedding news and that when they heard she will have a proper wedding ceremony and reception, they said they had never dreamt they would be able to see Hotaru in a wedding dress. They sound really happy over the phone!
As expected, all parents will wish to see their own daughter becoming (dressed as) a bride! Takano san is truly a serious and considerate man, its wonderful. You have indeed found a really great guy who not only think about you, but for your family too! I look forward to both families meeting as such!" Hearin all that, Hotaru cried.
As she got up and into the living room, she spotted the box. She opened it and saw the proposal ring. When she opened the card, it simply stated to Hotaru, from Buchou.Hotaru cried even harder....

Seno however said he is only waiting for his own feelings towards Hotaru to ease.
In office, Sakura passed the jersey to Hotaru and asked her to talk to Seno in changing his mind not to resign. Sakuru said wont it be troublesome too for Hotaru if Seno quit now? Buchou listened on and memory of their last arguement came to his mind...
At home, Buchou asked Hotaru to his room and sit down. He started off saying that because he is older, he is more experienced in love (as he is always well liked by girls), he is able to think more coolly and calmly about their relationship now. He showed her the opened book on his bedside table. He explained that he had rushed off to work leaving the book as such. The "Him" in the past would never have done this, leaving a mess. It was because of Hotaru's influence that made him do these. However he also see it as a form of personal growth. Hotaru exclaimed if she had led Buchou astray with her bad habits. Buchou said that over time, she had indeed influenced him and changed him over time and it was good. In the past, if he should have been the young passionate guy he was then, he would have grabbed hotaru and pushed her to the bed. Hotaru was shocked but Buchou assured her the "monster" had gone on holiday and she is safe. He added that with Hotaru, his heart feels full and his life colourful and happy, and he cherish her existence, and no matter what, she will always be the woman he love and the woman for him, even if there are moments where he may "look at other woman." since he is a man afterall. Hotaru who was initially over the moon went "chey" in the end hearing that.
As they are packing, Buchou told Hotaru that it is about time that he should meet her parents on pretext of their upcoming wedding, and tell the about the wonderful man he has met. Buchou said she had better go contact her family before she starts to find it a bother. Hotaru said as such she had better tell her elder sister. Buchou was suprised to hear that she even had a sister. Hotaru said even though her sister lived nearby but they dont stay in contact often as she is lazy. Buchou commented to think someone else suffering the same plight as him... Hotaru shared that despite their infrequent contact, her sister did tell Hotaru to look her up if she ever need help or anything. Hotaru called her sister to inform about the wedding news and about Buchou's request to meet the parents. However the sister say dont bother as the parents know how hotaru is like (findng everything a bother) and it was ok.
Sachiko returned work one day earlier than planned. She too recall the conversation she had with Shouji, with him asking her if she wont regret quitting after marriage. When Hotaru saw her, she asked if she could seeked her advice about somethng. Sachiko said alrite but she is meeting Natsu and if it is ok, Hotaru could come along. During teh meal, Natsu said alot of preparation work and troublesome things to do for wedding preparation. Both Sachiko and Hotaru was surprised. However, Sachiko reminded Hotaru that for Buchou, she must endure it and put up with it as afteerall, they are both working in the same company, and that Buchou is after her manager.
With that thought in mind, Hotaru changed her attitude and was more proactive about the whole wedding prep matter surprising Buchou. She proposed to check the auspicious dates and match their schedule to do all the prep work (eg: meet parents, gown trial, pick ring etc) At the same time, Hotaru's sister called to meet Buchou and said that she had previously insisted Hotaru to save money in a regualr deposit (as the sister know she will spend all if no one watch over her). She passed the bankbook to Buchou for the wedding. He tried to explain that he had to meet Hotaru's parent as this is not his first marriage but the sister said it is ok as they all trust Hotaru and her choices. So it was not necessary for him to insist on meeting the parents such an old fashion thingie (same thing as hotaru had said) as they will be fine.
At home Hotaru read wedding magazine to find out the things involved. Buchou sat her down and said she prob will meet with the most troublesome thing in her life. She said she understand and he was surprised as it was a tedious thing. Hotaru said she understand. Buchou said really its ok? She said yes and asked to plan the schedule now as otehrwise she will find it a bother later. Buchou went ahead as she requested. She actively circled the date and decided promptly surprising Buchou.
The next day in the lift, when Hotaru found out that Seno design plan had to change as the cost could not cover taking the wall down, she spend all her time recalculating the cost to try to fit in the original design with the corridor open air coffee shop theme as she knew Natsu really wanted it. She pleaded to delay stariing of work so she can look for other options. Seno got mad at her and asked why must she keep insisting on the impossible when both himself and Natsu already understood. However, Hotaru persist in her ways and she ended up missing and forgetting the wedding gown appointment, leaving Buchou alone waiting....
At home, she bowed and apologised to Buchou but he said it was ok as he had already heard about it as another staff had called him. He asked if he should try to help but Hotaru said she prefer not to bother him for work as well and she can handle it. Buchou joking said that yeah, she only want to trouble him with private matters....Meanwhile Buchou mentioned about meeting the parents, and wondered where will be a good venue. Hotaru said forget it as they wont care and at home is fine, plus its so troublesome. However Buchou inisisted it it only right to have both families meet up in a nice place as part of the formality. When Hotaru realised it was for Buchou, she started grumbling its all a hassle and forget it. Buchou told her to stop her antics and get back to talk properly. She said she had thought it was for Buchou which is why she tried so hard but if it was her parents they wont care. Buchou said she must listen to him this time but she said its a marriage between him and her and not her parents. Thinkg about what he said, Hotaru called Buchou to apologise again, and he asked if she is lying comfortably in bed while apologisong. She got up in shock asking how did he know. She then said she is sorry and will do what he said. he asked her ring size but she said M. He said she should come along as M is for clothes not ring. Then Hotaru said she didnt call him in Hk was because she will miss him and want to be by his side when she hears his voice. Buchou said, in Hk she cannot fly to him immediately. He asked if she is now heading to his room? Hotaru asked if the "leacherous monster" is there? Buchou laughed and said perhaps it is back from its holiday and Hotaru ran back to his room.
The next day, Hotaru tried asking all the renovators she knew but to no avail. However that nite, Seno sent her an sms that he had found one willing to do it. Hotaru dashed down to the site to see Seno and the renovator in time. Seno explained that the renovator wanted to try starting up his biz away from his father shadows and thus was willing to take the project regardless of cost. The renovator said rather he liked seno's design. Seno explained he had found the guy thru someone he knew in university and offered beer to her, quoting her statement that beer taste the best after a day hardwork. Hotaru said she didnt do anything to help but seno said that it was her preserverence that had motivated him to also persist on. As they chatted, Seno shared that the senior who recommended the renovator had asked him to consider joining him in New York for some design work. He said after all it is about time that he should learn to settle down properly and form some life rountine. Hotaru said he is still young afterall.
Meanwhile Hotaru got drunk and slept at Natsu worksite. Buchou was waiting for her at the ring shop as they had earlier agreed to go together to make sure they got the right size. Natsu tried to explain why Hotaru was there but Buchou asked to talk to Hotaru and asked her to be there. Just before Hotaru was rushing off, Seno got injured and they all rushed off to hospital. Buchou ended up alone again...
When Hotaru got home, she apologised again. Saying that they had got too happy, drunk too much and fell asleep, plus she didn mean to miss the ring appointment but that Seno had gotten injured. Buchou said Seno should be alright right? Hotaru explained because Seno had also hurt his head so they stayed on to ensure the examination reveals his head is not injured too. Buchou asked if Hotaru was drinking "with seno?" Hotaru said the 3 of them with Natsu. Buchou said "she is not that kind of woman. Natsu is not the sort to drink, get drunk and not go home. She must have lied to try to cover for you."
Then Buchou got up and said that "let's live seperately." Hotaru asked why, why should it be so? Buchou said it wasnt her fault, but it was his problem. "Hotaru was shocked. She questioned Buchou what problem and why is it his problem, shouldnt it be their probem, as they had agreed for them to solve together? She said she didnt understand and that he should explain things clearly and better. "Like in the past, to explain things gently, or coolly"
Buchou retorted that "it is preceisely that I cannot expplain it well, which is why i need to be alone to think quietly for a while. But dont'e worry, I will come back.I dun dislike you." That said, Buchou turned and left.
Meanwhile, Shouji was also apologising to Sachiko. it looks like he was also leaving. Sachiko askd what happened and why was he going away for 3 days 2 nite privately and why was he apologising. Shouji didnt say anything except to apologise...
Alone and feeling sad, Hotaru heard a voice mail. it was her sister.She said her parents are overjoyed at her wedding news and that when they heard she will have a proper wedding ceremony and reception, they said they had never dreamt they would be able to see Hotaru in a wedding dress. They sound really happy over the phone!
As expected, all parents will wish to see their own daughter becoming (dressed as) a bride! Takano san is truly a serious and considerate man, its wonderful. You have indeed found a really great guy who not only think about you, but for your family too! I look forward to both families meeting as such!" Hearin all that, Hotaru cried.
As she got up and into the living room, she spotted the box. She opened it and saw the proposal ring. When she opened the card, it simply stated to Hotaru, from Buchou.Hotaru cried even harder....

A moment for the dead...
Shall we take a few minutes to say prayers for the 8 Hong Kong tourist hostages who was shot to death last night in the Manila hostage crisis. What was supposed to be a happy holiday ended up as tragic senseless demise for some families, just because some Filippino ex police decided to seek "justice" for his sacking the wrong way.
I dont comprehend why he thought that killing innocent people will justify his cause or gather any votes in his favor? Is that what police officers trained to protect lifes suppose to do, regardless if they are in active duties? Shooting someone to death in cold blood? Anyone should know by now that the govt will never give in to demands of terrorists or individuals who hold others in ransom. Because giving in will only set precedence and give way to others trying to emulate the stance. So why do wayward people still persists in doing things that only serve to harm themselves further, and others in the process? Are some people just so selfishly stupid to never learn from the numerous past cases?
As the gunman slumped dead out of the shattered glass door, I watched live on TV seeing him with blood gushing out of his wound, I was trying to make some sense out of all these mess and chaos. He never got what he set out to achieve. He died for nothing. He will never be there to "prove" his innocence in his extortion charge. He will always be blamed for his guilt in killing those innocent holiday makers. I was crossing my fingers when the first 3 hostages came out alive. However when the police stopped carting out the bodies after number 4, and I saw the cop inside the bus looking downwards on the floor, it was then I knew the remaining 7 people were dead. If they were not rushing to cart out the bodies to hospital, it only meant that time wasnt an issue anymore..for the dead. My heart fell...and hopes dashed. I cannot imagine family members who were glued to the TV for updates must have felt...
The most mortifying part wasnt just watching the rescue mission nor the shooting, what chilled my heart was to actually hearing people laughing in the background when the reporters were giving a live update. Not once, but several times! I think it came from the crowd milling around the reporters. How can someone be laughing at such a moment? I was more shock by that behaviour than the gunman;s behaviour! I hope someone could track that jackasre who was laughing and give him a serious smack on the head.
Violence never solve any problems. It is reprehensible. It only sets to create more problems. No matter what the Philippine Govt says or will say to account for the incident, it is all too little, too late. The dead will never see any sunrise again.

Zhong Wu Yan: Ep 5 Summary
Zhong Wu Yan: Episode 5 Recap.
On her first day at work, Wu Yan was immensely disliked by her peers due to her look and the fact that she was working with QiXuan. It didnt help her cause when Qixuan obviously disliked her and yelled at her to stop interfering with him at work.
During break, Wuyan noticed how wasteful everyone was with the coffee supplies, throwing away each freshly brewed pot because they didnt want to drink"old coffee". As such, she made a suggestion to one of the manager to issue coffee vouchers to staff instead to cut down waste. However, her proposal was met with much staff dissatisfaction who bear greater grudge against her nosy interference.
While the receptionist was fuming about the "stripped" free office coffee supplies, theblind guy came to look for Wu Yan. However the petty receptionist immediately denied his request saying there is no such employee. Undeterred, the blind guy started to yell for Wuyan. David walked past and heard him yelling and came to investigate. When he realised what happened, he demanded the receptionist to lead the blind guy to the waiting area and get Wuyan for him. The receptionist reluctantly led him to the room and she got hit by the blind guy who pretended it was an accident. Blaming it all on Wuyan, the 2 receptionist conspire to lock Wuyan in teh toilet cubicle and drenched her with a pail of wet water.
Qixuan passing by the toilet overheard her pleas for rescue entered the toilet. He bargained that he would let her out only if she agreed to quit and leave his home which she refused. Qixuan then told her to "repent" as she must have done something to incur everyone's hatred. As such, he left her stuck and told her to wait for the cleaners to rescue her tomorrow morning. Before he left, he left a "toilet maintenance" sign on the door. Before he left office, David asked if he wasnt gonna wait for Wuyan which Qixuan refused saying he has no reason to. david explained that it was bad enough that she is facing despise from all directions and to suffer such treatment from Qixuan, it must be hard for her being all alone in a foreign place. Qixuan said it was all her fault since she had "stolen" item belong to his late mother, and monopolising his dad attention, and is she going to steal his best friend as well? David decided to let the matter rest and sent him home.
At home, his father asked what happen to Wuyan but Xuan feigned ignorance about her whereabouts and refused to look for her. His dad asked how could he be so heartless esp when she had carried him back with much difficulties when he was drunk previously. Only realising that, Xuan immediately said he would look for her.
When he arrived at the toilet, he was shocked to see her crying and bleeding, drenched all over. Genuinely concerned, he tried to help her but she was too pissed and refused his help outright. She yelled at him for being so insensitive about the fact that she knew no one and all she could count on was his support but for him to turn on her like that was too much. When she stormed out, she bumped into the blind guy who was waiting for the cab.
The blind guy asked why was she wet and Xuan misunderstood him to be molesting Wuyan and stepped forth yelling for the blind guy to stop. They started to "argue" but Wuyan stopped them. The blind guy said he will be back since now he knows where she is. When Xuan and Wuyan left, the blind guy muttered to himself that Xuan is truly as empty headed as the rumours go.
At home, Xuan offered to help Wuyan with the bandage. He said he wasnt going to apologise but conceded that since the whole situation was conceived by his father and not her, he proposed a truce and for them to work harmoniously from now on.
The next day, David's mum gathered all the board of director for a meeting on the pretext of being concern on Xuan's progress for the proposal. Xuan headed off to the meeting with great confidence. David and Wuyan were worried as to how he will be "attacked" about his continuous inability to contact the client director- Qing Chu. Xuan naively said it wont happen and headed off. Wuyan told dave it was pointless to sit and wait and she will try to meet up with Qing Chu.
Firstly, she pretended to be courier and tricked the secretary in revealin the "schedule" for the Qing Director. She was told he will be leaving office in 15min. Next, She pretended to be a new employee scouting the office and tried to find out information from the security guard about the car. When she saw the car departing office, she ran after it to try to stop the director so that he can read their new proposal. When she managed to stop it by throwing an icecream cone, the guys within didnt want to listen to her but she quote a line she had read before, what the Qing director had once said about failure and success. - "I am not afraid of failure as it only drives me to work harder to succeed. I fear Success as it will instead hold me back pacing on the same spot." The blind guy was in the car and heard her.
The car stop and the "Qing Director" alighted and asked her one question. "Are you Zhong Wu yan?" Surprised, she acknowledge. With that, the director said he will consider working with her company. Meanwhile, although Xuan's idea was well received, Dave's mum tried to make him look bad by mocking that everything is pointless if he has yet to contact the client. Just then, Dave appeared and have Xuan report the good news that the client has agree to consider the new proposal with interest.
Back in office, Xuan shared the news with delight with Wuyan. He didnt know it was her help and thought it was Dave who had come thru for him. Dave didnt understand why Wuyan wouldnt let him tell Xuan the truth but she said she had misgivings and the whole episode is too bizarre. She confided she didnt understand why the QIng director would know her name, and agree to consider the proposal when he didnt even read it. She was mystified.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that the blind guy is the true Qing Chairman and the older man was just his uncle pretending to be the director on behalf. The uncle asked to read the new proposal but the blind guy said forget it since the empty headed Xuan will not come up with anything good. Rather, he just wanted to toy with them to punish wuyan for "abandoning" him to work for Xuan. Plus he thought she is an interesting opponent to spar with and he wanted to see what other interesting things she can come up with to deal with the situation.
The next day, the "Qing director" summon Xuan and Wuyan to his office. Explaining his intention was to have them not to report on the new proposal but rather have them "care" for his nephew who had just arrived from the countryside. He wanted them to show him around and care for him for the day. Xuan agreed.
On way, Wuyan asked Xuan why did he agree since it was alittle too unreasonable request but Xuan explained it must be terrible for a kid to be cope up in office whole day and not see the city after coming from the countryside. So he was happy to take the kid around and have fun. When they entered the room,both were shocked to see it was the blind guy!!!
On her first day at work, Wu Yan was immensely disliked by her peers due to her look and the fact that she was working with QiXuan. It didnt help her cause when Qixuan obviously disliked her and yelled at her to stop interfering with him at work.

I like the opening theme song but even more, I love the the ending theme song for Zhong Wu Yan, sung by Bii, a Korean artist. It's amazing to think he doesnt know a word of Mandarin 4 years ago when he went to Taiwan.

Summer's Desire: Ep 13 Review and Summary
Summer's Desire : Ep 13 Recap.
Xiaochen was hospitalised to the shock of ouchen and xiamo.
The doctor declared that even though the transplant was a success, but the other organs had already begun to shut down and now it is only a matter of time. If they are lucky, it would be 3 months at most, else....Xiamo was shocked.
Ouchen had a separate meeting and angrily demanded the doctor to do something. He was exasperated when they said there was nothing else to be done. Ouchen said how is it possible for xiaochen to die before he is even 20yrs? He then told them not to inform xiaomo of the truth for fear of shocking her, but she had already overheard them from outside.
Finally xiaochen died. Yet Xiamo didnt cry and look on. In her mind, xiaochen did not died and wanted to eat her chicken wings. She told him that she didnt cry because they cannot trick her, she knows that xiaochen is alive because god cannot take him away as god had not given xiaochen anything. Ouchen could only look on from the sides unable to do anything to console her.
Xiamo couldnt accept the death of her brother and shut herself into her own world. Ouchen tried all means to help her cope but to no avail. He called up his ex mentor Simon and apologised that he finally understood why the old man had to do what he did in the past. Looking at the zombie state of Xiamo, Ouchen said he now too will do anything just to get Xiamo back to the talking smiling state.
At the same time, Luoxi's boss went to the grave and apologised to Xiaochen for not being able to do anything. He thanked Xiaochen that he would take time to write a letter to him, explaining that he did not blame the father as he knew his mother had truly loved him. He explained that since he is dying, he could no longer hold on to his mother's last momento. A song "Diamond" which was written specially for the father.
Meanwhile Luoxi read from the papers about Xiaochen's death and started packing immediately from his retreat. Shenqiao who had tag along unsolicited saw the news and angrily muttered "Xiamo again". However before Luoxi left, she told him to let her go first since it wont feel as if he had abandon her. As he watched shenqiao leave, Luoxi thought to himself that Shenqiao will always have an important place in his heart.
Ouchen in trying to help Xiamo be "closer" to Xiaochen moved her back to her old place. Xiamo found some old conversations taping that xiaochen had made before he lost his hearing, and started to immense herself completely in the recordings ignoring everything else. Luoxi who came to visit saw the state she was in, had Ouchen aside and punched him. He yelled at Ouchen is that was the so called his way of taking good care of Xiamo? He angrily warned Ouchen that from today onwards, he will keep coming to visit Xiamo and dun Ouchen dare try to play dirty tricks to stop him. Ouchen didnt retaliate and just quietly watched from the sidelines as Luoxi also tried to pull Xiamo out of her depressive state.
One day, zhenen the manager found a script and told Ouchen that a renowned director wanted Xiamo to audition for a role. Initiatlly she had wanted to turn it down ut after reading the script, she felt that it was a tailor made role for xiamo! Ouchen read it and said he will consider. Luoxi who overheard however kicked up a stinker demanding that Xiamo is not in the state or frame of mind to enter the show biz right now. Ouchen contested what if through acting, it could help Xiamo through the pain and through renacting, to become some form of therapy for her? Luoxi rejected the idea saying that she is not some experimential object to go through such trial method. Zhenen interrupted saying the story however really fit Xiamo very well.
She went on to describe the plot, about a couple who was very much in love. The guy is xiaochen a painter but he died and the female character was devasted. Hearing Zhenen, Xiamo showed some reaction and walked to the door surprising everyone. Ouchen urged zhenen to continue, triggering more response from xiamo.
The audition day came. Xiamo did the scene with so much conviction. Ironically, the lines in the script were exactly the same lines tat Xiamo had with her dead brother before he passed away. She didnt believe he was dead. And in her mind, xiaochen said to her he will never leave her. They will always be together. Xiamo muttered to herself that god is fair, he will only take away something from you if he gave you something, however he has not given Xiaochen anything, so he wont take xiaochen away. Everyone present was so moved by Xiamo's emotional scene and the director offered her the role on the spot. Ouchen who was supporting a collapsed Xiamo asked her, if she is willing to accept the role and she nodded.
While taking Xiamo out, pannan and zhenen came to visit xiamo. Ouchen walked away to leave them to talk, not before leaving the script with underlined lines for Xiamo. Zhenen told a zombie xiamo that luoxi is even willing to break his "nonacting break and resume acting for her sake in this movie. As pannan and zhenen were discussing about ouchen';s possible reaction to see luoxi and xiamo acting together intimately, Ouchen was plesantly surprised to see xiamo taking iniative to read the script.
At the shooting scene, Ouchen was relieved to see xiamo becoming"normal" and reactive again. Luoxi later at the bar, told pannan that he used to want to erase xiamo from his memory and wished he never met her, yet now, he would be relieved and happy just to see xiamo willing to eat and smile. All Luoxi wants now is not to fight for Xiamo to be his only, but rather he just want her to be happy. Pannan said he has changed.
At home, when Ouchen was preparing some of xiaochen's drawing for the film, he accidentally came across a letter addressed to his sister xiamo. Ouchen opened the letter and read it...
The next day, Ouchen told zhenen to asked luoxi over as he has something to say to him. Zhenen panicked and said luoxi and xiamo are only acting initmate for the show, is ouchen gonna bashed luoxi? Ouchen said no. He has something else to say to luoxi...
Afterthought
I really like Ouchen more and more....as for Luoxi, so long he will stop persisting his longing for someone else's wife and blaming everyone else, he will be more likeable. I am glad he finally realise he was the fool who gave up Xiamo due to his own insecurity as Ouchen rightly told him off previously.
Xiaochen was hospitalised to the shock of ouchen and xiamo.
The doctor declared that even though the transplant was a success, but the other organs had already begun to shut down and now it is only a matter of time. If they are lucky, it would be 3 months at most, else....Xiamo was shocked.
Ouchen had a separate meeting and angrily demanded the doctor to do something. He was exasperated when they said there was nothing else to be done. Ouchen said how is it possible for xiaochen to die before he is even 20yrs? He then told them not to inform xiaomo of the truth for fear of shocking her, but she had already overheard them from outside.
Finally xiaochen died. Yet Xiamo didnt cry and look on. In her mind, xiaochen did not died and wanted to eat her chicken wings. She told him that she didnt cry because they cannot trick her, she knows that xiaochen is alive because god cannot take him away as god had not given xiaochen anything. Ouchen could only look on from the sides unable to do anything to console her.
Xiamo couldnt accept the death of her brother and shut herself into her own world. Ouchen tried all means to help her cope but to no avail. He called up his ex mentor Simon and apologised that he finally understood why the old man had to do what he did in the past. Looking at the zombie state of Xiamo, Ouchen said he now too will do anything just to get Xiamo back to the talking smiling state.
At the same time, Luoxi's boss went to the grave and apologised to Xiaochen for not being able to do anything. He thanked Xiaochen that he would take time to write a letter to him, explaining that he did not blame the father as he knew his mother had truly loved him. He explained that since he is dying, he could no longer hold on to his mother's last momento. A song "Diamond" which was written specially for the father.
Meanwhile Luoxi read from the papers about Xiaochen's death and started packing immediately from his retreat. Shenqiao who had tag along unsolicited saw the news and angrily muttered "Xiamo again". However before Luoxi left, she told him to let her go first since it wont feel as if he had abandon her. As he watched shenqiao leave, Luoxi thought to himself that Shenqiao will always have an important place in his heart.
Ouchen in trying to help Xiamo be "closer" to Xiaochen moved her back to her old place. Xiamo found some old conversations taping that xiaochen had made before he lost his hearing, and started to immense herself completely in the recordings ignoring everything else. Luoxi who came to visit saw the state she was in, had Ouchen aside and punched him. He yelled at Ouchen is that was the so called his way of taking good care of Xiamo? He angrily warned Ouchen that from today onwards, he will keep coming to visit Xiamo and dun Ouchen dare try to play dirty tricks to stop him. Ouchen didnt retaliate and just quietly watched from the sidelines as Luoxi also tried to pull Xiamo out of her depressive state.
One day, zhenen the manager found a script and told Ouchen that a renowned director wanted Xiamo to audition for a role. Initiatlly she had wanted to turn it down ut after reading the script, she felt that it was a tailor made role for xiamo! Ouchen read it and said he will consider. Luoxi who overheard however kicked up a stinker demanding that Xiamo is not in the state or frame of mind to enter the show biz right now. Ouchen contested what if through acting, it could help Xiamo through the pain and through renacting, to become some form of therapy for her?

K-Drama: My girlfren is a Gumiho
If you haven jumped onto the wagon in watching "My girlfriend is a Gumiho", perhaps its about time to realise you are missing out on something!
 |
| (credit source: SBS website) |
The reason I had wanted to watch was because I like Seunggi. However after watching, i think the whole plot definitely has the potential to bring further good laughs on weekday night. It's original in the sense that they transform a folklore into "reality" and have the nine tail fox experience the everyday norm of our lives in a different eye. Seunggi is really funny here. I love his varied expressive looks, and I sincerely think he is even better here than Brillant Legacy! Maybe his stint with 2 days 1 nites have done him good, opening him up and more communicative with his expressions. I like the subtle undertones of some of the lines too. if it wasnt unexpectedly good, it would have bordered on cheesy but it hasnt! Plus the scene where Seunggi was having his hair permed, I was laughing so hard because it reminded me of one episode in 2day 1 night where Ho Dong was making fun and taunting Seunggi - "Seunggi! You dun think well unless your hair is perm?" Hahaha!!
It's funny to see how the 9-tailed fox "threatened" to eat him and have seunggi's character sweating and squirming away...I laughed so hard everytime he cower in fear! Hahahahaha! I love the chemistry!!! Oh not to mention the Fox Hunter is quite a hottie in various angle. Ok, not so hot when he was dressed in the period costume but in modern days gear, OooooLala!!! It has to be the hair. Why am i falling for all the Korean men who are a little androgynous looking but with a hot bod?

Playful Kiss teaser...Kisss ME kiss ME!!!
Did I just flood the city with my uncontrollable drool???? OMG when he smile that million dollar watts smile, he just stole my soul away. If he is ever the reaper, he prob will take away half a million souls in one nite with that smile of his!!!!!!!! He is way too cooooooool!!!
While I am dying for Playful Kiss to air, I cannot say I like the look of the girl very much. I didnt watch the other drama she was in which had alot of people raving about her potential but she looks abit too old for sunbae. Then again, not many girls can look good with KHJ when he had that idol teen gorgeous look.
(I hope someone sub this!!)
Still.....For a typical Korean actress, she is rather chubby as compared to many others. Ok ok..i know I will get stoned for saying she is big but to me she is. I have seen so many slim (Note, NOT skinny) girls in Seoul when I was there, so she is rather unusual. I dont need her to starve because I think she just have a set of big bones looking at her legs. I love admiring long slender legs, she def does not fall into my category of good looker....Plus Even though she looks young, she has that overly mature look when I was anticipating someone more cutesy. Maybe the Japanese and Taiwanese version has set too strong a precedent so she has a mountain of pre expectation to overcome. No matter, I hope she turns out well and this drama will help her more than kill her career.
She better not ruin the show. Ahhh..sunbae can do no wrong if he keep smiling like that which will not be possible since he prob will have more looks of disdain by the character of manga. As I was watching the video above, her portrayal of the character (yelling at Sunbae) seems more spoilt than naive...I honestly truly truly hope she doesnt spoil it for me.
I can replay 0:27-29 over and over again just to see Sunbae smile over and over and over again....*dreamy*

Arrrgggghhhh!
OMG! OMG! OMG! I cannot believe the latest bleach release! How is it possible?!!!!
Bleach 416 Spoiler...
I cannot believe that Gin lost! I cannot believe that he is dying/ died being killed by Aizen! Crap, his hand was completely ripped off by Aizen! To think all these while, he has been pretending to follow Aizen to find the right moment to kill him, to fulfill a self promise that he made for the sake of Rangiku, to protect her from crying...all for nothing...I felt so sorry for him!
Crap! I have always like Gin and when he didnt try to kill Ichigo, I thought there was more to him than just the merciless follower who has fallen with Aizen. Darn! Ichigo please hurry! I cannot bear to see more death!

Hotaru no Hikari 2: Ep 7 Review and Summary
This was a good "roller coaster" episode with the confessions here and there. heh heh...I think the most impactful moment was the scene in the office when both came clean about what they really felt of the recent events. When Buchou lost it momentarily because of his jealousy, I was like WOW! Manly!
I like the scene that Seno unconsciously held Hotaru's hand. When he realised he had to let go, my heart almost skipped a beat for that precise moment...it was like "ouch!" He has been a really decent dude and being there for Hotaru made him really cool guy.
Damn it's tiring to write while watching the raw. My brain is having a melt down now. I need to go take a break before I start on the next drama recap:)
ホタルノヒカリ2 - 第7話: 『干物女 秘密のドキドキ』
Hotaru no Hikari 2: Ep 7 recap.
The episode opens with Hotaru sharing a moment with the "Love god".
"Last nite, I had proposed to the man I love. A person like me who had long since distanced herself from Love, has unbelievably grown..plus a young guy had confessed to me. How long has it been since a young guy confessed his love...? But for a girl like me, it is truly rare. Dear god, is it ok for me to just relish this moment?" Hotaru grinned to herself. As she stare at her own reflection in the toilet, she gleefully thought to herself "A young guy. A not so young guy.... both liking...ME!"
Just then, Buchou entered the bathroom and broke her reverie. She awkwardly thanked Buchou for last nite, for his agreeing to her proposal.
Heading to office lift, Hotaru paused as she heard Seno's voice declaring he is also taking the lift. Inside, Seno turned to Hotaru and said he has something to say to her. Hotaru's heart went thumping...Seno returned her the phone and Hotaru shared that she forgotten about her forgotten phone. Just then, looking at Seno, Hotaru's heart rate increased and went thumping again! She then proceed to shyly ask Seno what was it he had wanted to say to her and as Seno started with "Regarding Amemiyah..." Hotaru paused and wondered in shock if it was going to be a early morning confession! However Seno only wanted to tell her for them to remain as friends like before, and walked off. "Friends? Eh?" As Hotaru digested what Seno said. Then Hotaru went "Why the eh?!" Hotaru shook her head repeatedly to try to clear her thoughts and told herself "No way! no way!" Just as she was heading to her seat, Seno surprised her again and said he had forgotten to mention something important. He asked if she was free after work and Hotaru replied she had to check her schedule. When Seno saw it was blank, he commented "it's blank (free). Well then!" Hotaru thought to herself "The aggressive young type!" "no no no! work work work!" and dashed off to her seat.
Just then the jogger asked if she was dating seno and she denied vehemently. As she overheard Seno, her heart went thumping (toko doki) again and she started to whack her own chest. Buchou looked on quizzically and wondered "Gorilla? Acting as a gorilla in the morning?" He shook his head as he look at Hotaru.
In office, Sakura mentioned a "Power Spot" where wishes can come true. The office group spontaneously talked about going on a day trip and Buchpu look at her, interpreting her every move, and her inability to vocalise that she wanted to do.
That night, Shouji went over to Buchou place and brought some food. He invited Hotaru to join them but she said she couldnt as she was only back to grab the wrong mechanise and bringing it out to exchange. Shouji said she could go after the food but Hotaru said not as she already has a appointment. He asked with who and Hotaru replied with Seno and left. Buchou was a little surprise to hear that from Shouji.
Meanwhile, Seno grabbed Hotaru's hand and said to go together to make the exchange., but she paused. Sensing her hesitation, Seno asked "It's not ok to hold hands? Even as friends?" "I dont think friends will hold hands right?" Hotaru inquired politely. "Not hold hands eh." And seno let go. Instead, Hotaru held out her fingers, Seno recognised it as a scene from ET and as they tried, he got impatient and declared it was impossible to walk this way!
In the shop, the weird guy said that from Seno "The girl I like alot has wrongly taken your bag." But Seno declared he has never said that. The weird guy said he could feel it from Seno plus, Seno may look frivolous but in reality he is truly opposite on the inside.but seno cut him off saying he doesnt believe in such a thing.
At home, Shouji shared that he had heard about Seno liking Hotaru. Buchou said he knew as Seno had told him in person. "Declaring war? Are you really ok with it? Knowing you, you must mind alot. You see not just in love but in work and life, you are a perfectionist." Buchou replied its true at times but Shouji continued "You are a true perfectionist."
"I have learnt something from Hotaru after being with her, sometimes, it is good to let go once in a while. Not to think of anything but idly just spend time on this corridor, sometimes this is the most precious moments.She has taught me that." Buchou confided. "These moments are very precious, to work hard for tomorrow. Yet no matter, to actually learn something from that Himo woman, it does feel alittle weird." Buchou joked about it. "So about Seno, to say I dont mind about that person's existence would be a lie. No matter what, let's just leave the thought as - Forget it, leave it as it is (what Hotaru always say)" Buchou shared with Shouji and both men chuckled.
After splitting with Seno, Hotaru felt another rush of heartbeat. She went back to the bar and told the weird guy her problems. Hotaru went home to research about the power spot and its location...
At home, Buchou was happily ironing his shirt and he was horrified to see a dirty spot on his clean shirt. Did I drop it during dinner? This has never happen to me before! Hotaru saw his anguished expression and asked what was wrong. However Buchou was going through a series of horrifying thoughts..."I must be getting old! My muscles are laxin and food starts to drip! And in process dirtied my shirt!" Just then Hotaru causally said she was the one who had kept the clothes. Realisation hit Buchou that the stain was the choc stain that Hotaru has transferred over! Hotaru shared about teh trip, that it required a cleansing process prior the journey and Buchou who was still fuming about the stain spot declared immediately he will help her!!!
In the garden, Buchou threw a bucket of cold water over Hotaru as part of the "cleansing ritual" without hesitation. He even sprayed her as he declared she needs thorough cleaning!!! Hotaru yelped that Buchou went overboard treating her as such and both started water fight. Hotaru went for Buchou and grab him. he told her to let go but Hotaru declared she will never let go, never let go of Buchou! Buchou suddenly rem something and told her to stop playing for a while.
"Earlier, you said you are working hard for the wedding and thus u need to go to power spot. Why do you think this way? Why you do think you need the power now?" Buchou queried. Then he imitated her thumping the chest in office and commented she was doing that the whole day in office, so something must be bothering her. Is there something she cannot tell him and why she wasnt saying anything? She apologise and hesitated. Seeing her like that, he said he understood and wont press her. He then apologised for wetting her like that and with concern, said it must still feel cold even if it was Summer. Hotaru was touched! He commented she has lost weight and more womanly than she was years ago. Hotaru was even more touched! Then he asked if he can take her lips, can he "rob" her lips and as she closed her eyes, Buchou sprayed more water at her face saying she need further cleansing! Buchou was just "bullying" her!
Meanwhile at home, Shouji was sharing his thoughts about Sachiko and asked if she wouldnt regret about quitting her job and be a housewife since work is what she thrive on all these while?
At the power spot trip. Hotaru prayed that "She can work hard for the marriage between her and Buchou and seek to have more power bestowed on her. At home, Buchou looked at the homewear she got him and pondered to himself as he recalled she had gotten that with Seno. As he put it away and lay down to clear his mind, rolling about the house, his phone rang and was a little disappointed that it was not hotaru. It was Natsu seeking help. He said that it wasnt convenient for Natsu to come over as he still feel bad about the hakone trip, and that it wasnt nice that he spend time with Natsu when Hotaru isnt around. However Natsu said she is running out of time and she really need him to help her dress in Yuta. However as she left his place, he realised he had wear her in the opposite facing for teh front, and that it was for the dead! So he dragged her to the mall to get her to change. The jogger saw Buchou dragging Natsu away.
In the changing room, Natsu said there was nothing wrong but Buchou demonstrated it was the wrong side by sticking his hand into the Yuta. Natsu was shocked and told him to remove it. She then told him to face away. He commented offhandedly that he had seen her naked many times before in the past but then caught himself in time and apologised for bringing up the past. Natsu then commented that he is not an old chap but always a man to him. Natsu then shared that it was him who had turned her into a real woman, after meeting him, she then become a woman. That was what she had understood from a conversation she had before with him. And he was someone she couldnt forget. Buchou was awkward. Natsu asked that she heard he wasnt getting married but Buchou said no they are. Natsu then said it's good then.
At home, Hotaru came home and asked how was it, to be alone in the home after such a long time and if he was at home whole day. Buchou lied and said yah. Out of guilt, Buchou brought up the watching movies thing that Hotaru had wanted to see. She suggested Et and he asked why such a old film. Hotaru question rather why did he mentioned the movie thing out of the blue. Buchou tried to explain they have never dated nor have dating memories and excused himself, leaving a puzzled Hotaru to herself.
In office, the jogger revealed that he had saw Buchou with Natsu just in front of Hotaru. he further added to a shocked Buchou that he had overheard him saying "Dont ask, just follow me". Hotaru acted normal while Buchou sweated in his own seat. Working late that nite, Buchou asked hotaru how long more is she gonna work. She replied soon and Buchou said if he could explained what the jogger had said.
"I had lied about straying at home. Sorry." Buchou apologised.
"You met with Natsu?"
"Only to help her dress in Yuta. We went to the nearby mall and borrowed the changing room"
"Why?" Hotaru asked.
"because to make sure she wasnt going to be late." Buchou tried to explain.
"I wasnt referring to that. I am referring to why did you have to lie about being home the whole day."
"Can i be truthful?" Buchou asked with an awkward expression. Hotaru told him certainly of course.
Buchou confessed that he had a heart thumping moment. At that time, he had a wavering feeling towards Natsu. So he couldnt tell Hotaru the truth.
"Did you have a confession? Did she say she like you and move towards you." Hotaru asked a surprised Buchou who in turn asked why would she think in that way?
"Because if you werent told that you were being like, why would you have a heart thumping moment?"
"because it is possible to have that without being confessed to" Buchou shared truthfully.
Hotaru questioned how is it possible and Buchou said in a small confined space like the changing room between a man and a woman, it is possible to feel that way. So that is that.
"So that is it? How does it feel like??" Hotaru pressed on.
"You see, you prob wont understand." Buchou impatiently said to her. Hotaru declared she truly does not get it.
"Even if nothing happened, a man can still have that heart thumping moment!" Buchou declared. "Esp those woman that is feminine right I suppose."
"So Natsu is that sort of woman right?" Hotaru asked
Buchou paused and looked away as Hotaru continued with her her queries. "Faced with her, you felt the womaness in her right? That is why you had a heart thumping moment"
"but that said, nothing happened between us." Buchou tried to remind Hotaru. However she got alittle more agitated and said it was even more shocking that he had that moment when nothing actually happened!
Buchou sighed and said if he had known, he would not have told her the truth but Hotaru jumped up from her seat stating that he hadnt, it would be more shocking for her. Not able to hold back, Buchou retorted that Doesn she have secrets hidden from him?
"It's enough. From now on, I wont stupidly say everything to you." Buchou said in a huff. Hotaru said she hated that and she will tell him the truth and be clear upfront. Buchou said she doesnt have to. As she went on saying that she too wanted to come clean, Buchou repeated firmly she do not have to say anything.
"He said he like me. When Seno said that, I had a heart thumping moment then." Hotaru spilled
An incensed Buchou yelled at her "I told you I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!"
"But..but.." An overwhelmed Hotaru ran out of the office and prayed to god to bestow power to her. Just then Seno called her and asked about the scam scarf and if she was alright.
Seno went on to say he had heard from Sakura that Hotaru had gone to power spot to ask for more power, however while that was all good and fine, yet isnt the most important factor herself? Only she can feel defeated, and only if she feel that way will she truly be so. In the end, the worst enemy will be oneself in the heart. With that he hung up as Hotaru pondered about his words. During dinner, Sakura told Seno, why dont he just stop trying so hard and snatch Hotaru from Buchou instead? Is that what you want to say to me Seno asked in surprise.
As Hotaru think about Seno words, Buchou spotted her.
"What are you doing?" Buchou asked with concern.
"Waiting for you, to go home together." she said. Then moving closer to Buchou, she started to share.
"It's not your fault, not Natsu's fault, Not Seno's fault, not even the cat's. It was all my problem. I kept trying hard for the marriage and allow myself no room for doubt, yet all I just need to do is not to lose to myself which will suffice. So, let's go home together? Let's go back to the corridor? Let's go back to the corridor and make peace" Hotaru pleaded wholeheartedly.
Faced with such an ernest Hotaru, Buchou said commented about last summer where they had played with fireworks, and unlike her, he is a perfectionist and he has already prepared the fireworks for this summer. Not getting it, Hotaru asked "Buchou?"
"Let's go back and lit the fireworks. Let's go back to teh corridor"
Hotaru's face lit up and broke into a teary smile!
At home, Buchou said to her.
"From now on, more things will happen. Even after marriage,more things will happen, even the heart thumping moment, and even more confessions, and our relationship may end. But this is no one's fault, not the cat. it the common problem of two people, and the two people have to work hard to overcome."
"It's ok Buchou,no matter what happen outside, so long as we can return to this corridor, we can overcome it. From now, no matter what happens, so long we have this corridorr and time to talk, we will be fine. We are the world's strongest dumbest couple" Hotaru shared.
Surprised, Buchou commented "you are the silly one" but Hotaru said he was too
"Didnt you honestly told me about your heart thumping moment?" Hotaru teased him..
"I wont ever again." Hotaru said in a pouting way.
"No, we will never have secrets between us ever." Hotaru happily chimed in.
They both happily lit the fireworks, sat there and smiled at each other with complete understanding of each other's feeling at that moment.
The next morning, Buchou read about the scarf scam and commented offhandedly who on earth would fall for it. Suddenly he then rem that she had one! He asked she couldnt possibly have....she shurgged off sheepishly and Buchou yelled after her "Ahomiyah!!!!" Hotaru ran off!

Hotaru no Hikari 2: Episode 6 Review and Summary
Oooo i love this episode! I cannot believe that Seno has confessed to Hotaru!!!! Ahhhhh!!!
The story continues from last week where Buchou told Hotaru that they should reconsider the wedding decision. Hotaru was shocked.
ホタルノヒカリ2 - 第6話:『結婚白紙!? ほっとく大作戦』
Hotaru no Hikari 2: Ep 6 Recap
Buchou asked her if she rem the last summer where she had fallen in love, the long awaited love. He asked her if she still rem the name of the other guy. Hotaru nodded and replied Buchou but was stumped when Buchou asked her for the full name. Buchou laughed good naturedly and commented that he was there throughout her love adventure that summer, seeing her so busy, crying and laughing over trivial matters, yet always trying her very best. Hotaru commented yet she didnt succeed. Buchou however told her that he thought she looked really cute at that moment when she was giving her all, and very loveable. However everything has changed now and he questioned himself if he had forced her to cause that change.
"Seeing you trying so hard because of the upcoming marriage, I felt that I was pushing u too hard/ asking too much." Buchou shared with her. Hotaru asked why was he saying all that. "Because the person who had raised the topic of wedding wasnt you, it was me. It's different from being in love (in a relationship). I felt perhaps marriage would give you some peace of mind, that was the conclusion I had derived on my own while thinking of you during the time you were away during the last 3 years. Yet, my decision had caused you to be unsettled and topsy turvy." Buchou explained. Hotaru said there is no such thing but Buchou questioned that she had prob never thought about marriage before he brought it up. "I am not saying you will never think in that way but the word "marriage" has also constraint you. All you have to is be yourself. So for the wedding, let's not do it. For your sake. But it doesnt meant we cannot live together." Hotaru asked if it was ok and Buchou assured her it will be as before.
That night, unable to sleep, Hotaru woke up for snackie consoling herself she wasnt ditched...and yet the more she thought about it...the more she talk hersel into "making advances" at Buchou to make him "her man". However her plans failed and while she was stuck with an awaken Buchou. She had to fake her way out with different "acts" to get back to her room. A confused Buchou muttered to himself "A face changing performance?" (Sorry I didnt quite get some of the name references Hotaru was refering to here before the rabbit face. I just assume it was some characters from manga or TV that she tried to fob her way thru)
Next morning, Hotaru met up with Natsu about work. the girl asked when will the wedding be and that the party must be held at her mum's shop. However Hotaru shared that the wedding is off. A shocked Natsu tried to talk Hotaru into talking with Buchou again or she will be troubled. Hotaru questioned "troubled" but Natsu brushed it off. In office, Hotaru shared with Sachiko about the wedding is off news and sachiko said might not be a bad thing to reconsider, as it was the same as her case. So she advised Hotaru to just "ignore" Buchou and go see other guys and make Buchou nervous and have him propose again! Hotaru said that requires high skills but sachiko assured her it isnt. Meanwhile, Shouji overheard the Sakura and the other girl's conversation that Seno likes Hotaru!
As he bumped into Seno, Shouji couldnt resist sizing Seno up. "Such a small face" and continued pressing how old was Seno. 27yrs seno replied and Shouji commented such a young age! A puzzled Seno who was pushed to the wall was trying to squirm out of the way and said 27 really isnt young anymore. Shouji replied "but Takano is already 40yrs! Seno asked why are they talking about Buchou. Then Shouji tried poking his face and commented such elasticity, and left Seno saying even his youth is already a threat!
At home, Hotaru and Seno discovered the cats have invaded her room and pee/shit all over her jersey pants! She wanted to rewear the pants but Buchou insisted that she should buy new ones, otherwise he will feel like he is hugging the shit too when he hugs her. The two started bickering and Hotaru "threatened" an unconcerned Buchou that she will start to ignore him from now on. Buchou let Hotaru be..When they were bickering, Buchou asked her why on earth did she agree not to marry and she said it was because of Buchou. They both went to and fro bickering that it was for each other and finally they made a "toast" to join the "not getting married" club. Hotaru declared that since they are not getting married, she will see other guys and perhaps a very attractive person. She even said she might met "her man" as she go buy her jersey and Buchou's only comment was to get him a new sleepwear.
Next day in office, Seno discovered that Hotaru was also heading for the jersey sale! During the Q, she questioned Seno the name of his ex and she happily grinned that he is exactly the same sort of person as he was when he couldnt rem the full name! In the crazy mob, Hotaru simply couldnt get her hands on anything. Meanwhile Seno was squashed in the crowd and fighting the mob to lay his hands on something. When he saw Hotaru, he gave her the attire that she was suppose to buy for buchou....
That night as they shared dinner and stories of their common simple happy childhood, afterwhich they both ended up singing in karoke to sing their childhood songs. Hotaru decided to make a move first as it was getting late. However as Seno chased out after her because he realised she had grabbed the wrong shopping bag and left her mobile, he saw her buying a can of beer and drinking alone.
Seno went up to her, and asked her to share her problems and what she had a tiff with Buchou. She was hesitant as she figured that he was the same as her and how could seno possibly have any good solutions. Seno meanwhile said he will be troubled if she and Buchou dont end up togther. Hotaru quizzed "Troubled?" and he quickly changed track and insisted that she should spill it. When he heard about her "plight", Seno told her the solution was simple. All she had to do was propose to Buchou! Since Buchou's concern was that she was trying so hard as he had propose, then all Hotaru had to do was to propose to Buchou in return. It was so simple. At the end, love only needs to consider one self regardless if its a guy or girl, and a person always trying to do the right thing will never succeed in love!
"You want to marry Buchou and doesnt want to give up right? So go tell him. Go propose to him!"
"How is it..how it possible that you can understand my feelings, the feelings that I have not told anyone!" Hotaru asked in shock and she wondered what sort of guy he is....def not a simple himo like she is!
"Because I like you. I like you. That's why I understand your feelings. I like you." Seno confessed to her.
Hearing that, a shocked Hotaru looked around but there was no one else. Seno looked at her in the eye and confessed he like her, and the things about her...Staring at a shocked Hotaru, Seno snapped back to reality and told her to forget everything, to wipe everything off he had said. Hotaru agreed and ran off. Seno realised he hasnt passed her back her phone but decided it was better not to and to leave it as it is for now.
Meanwhile, the jogging guy asked Buchou why does he always see things when he jogged? First it was Buchou ad Natsu, and now Seno and Hotaru chatting intimately. Buchou said he doesnt know why either and excused himself.
At home, an unsettled Hotaru rushed home to try to settle down. When she saw Buchou, she told him she has things to say to him, immediately now. Looking at her, Buchou said let's sit down and chat.
"I, I really like Buchou. very much, super very very much, even more and more than 3 years ago"
"I know. I know all these. Is this what u want to say to me?" Buchou asked. Changing track, Buchou asked Hotaru.
" oh have you bought the jersey? " Hotaru said no as she didnt see any she like. Buchou asked if she went alone and Hotaru lied. Buchou was alittle disappointed as he recalled the jogger's words about seeing her and Seno chatting intimately together.
"Buchou, the reason why i was trying so hard before for the wedding was because I like Buchou. I wanted to "repay" the Buchou who had thought of me for the 3 years I was away, thus I was pushing myself to work hard for Buchou. but that is the real me." Buchou was dumbfounded by the confession. Hotaru continued, "So, can you marry me? Please, get married with me. Dont let go of me, don't not care of me/ignore me. I will always be Buchou's woman.!" Hearing the heartfelt sharing, Buchou smiled and agreed since that was what Hotaru wanted.
"Let's leave the not get married club and join the get married club Only the two of us and allow no one else. Even if there is someone else who wants to get in," Buchou proposed a toast. Hotaru asked what if the other person joins in the club uninvited? Buchou was taken back but Hotaru assured him that the other person will be booted out! Buchou smiled:)
Hotaru shyly asked Buchou that they should kiss. They chatted awkwardly about the first kiss and Buchou said it will be passionate and exhilarating and Hotaru went Wow! Yet staring at her with her eyes closed, Buchou simply didnt make a move. When hotaru said "Buchou?" Buchou came out of his daze and said he rem the funny rabbit look she made and Hotaru started to mimic the look. With that Buchou broke into a laugh and said no way he will kiss that funny face:) Then Hotaru rem the clothes she had gotten for Buchou and he was so happy she rem (and took the effort)! Unfortunately for them, it was the wrong top!!! Hotaru screamed and ran off while Buchou muttered to himself as he stared down at the dress "What on earth is this all about?!"
The story continues from last week where Buchou told Hotaru that they should reconsider the wedding decision. Hotaru was shocked.
ホタルノヒカリ2 - 第6話:『結婚白紙!? ほっとく大作戦』
Hotaru no Hikari 2: Ep 6 Recap
Buchou asked her if she rem the last summer where she had fallen in love, the long awaited love. He asked her if she still rem the name of the other guy. Hotaru nodded and replied Buchou but was stumped when Buchou asked her for the full name. Buchou laughed good naturedly and commented that he was there throughout her love adventure that summer, seeing her so busy, crying and laughing over trivial matters, yet always trying her very best. Hotaru commented yet she didnt succeed. Buchou however told her that he thought she looked really cute at that moment when she was giving her all, and very loveable. However everything has changed now and he questioned himself if he had forced her to cause that change.
"Seeing you trying so hard because of the upcoming marriage, I felt that I was pushing u too hard/ asking too much." Buchou shared with her. Hotaru asked why was he saying all that. "Because the person who had raised the topic of wedding wasnt you, it was me. It's different from being in love (in a relationship). I felt perhaps marriage would give you some peace of mind, that was the conclusion I had derived on my own while thinking of you during the time you were away during the last 3 years. Yet, my decision had caused you to be unsettled and topsy turvy." Buchou explained. Hotaru said there is no such thing but Buchou questioned that she had prob never thought about marriage before he brought it up. "I am not saying you will never think in that way but the word "marriage" has also constraint you. All you have to is be yourself. So for the wedding, let's not do it. For your sake.

Zhong Wu Yan Ep 3 Summary and Review.
Boarding the plane in another 15hours back to Sydney. The good thing is to get away from HK air and catching up with friends and family, the bad thing is I hate the 10hr flight and facing the nitemarish public transport again in Sydney. Parking is hideously expensive so it doesnt make sense to rent anything.
Meanwhile, manage to catch the 3rd episode of Zhong Wu Yan.
Zhong Wu Yan Episode 3 recap
The story revolves round the father;s plan to get Wuyan to marry QiXuan. However Wuyan declined since marriage is not child's play and she cannot fathom marrying a man who does not love her. Moreever, QiXuan objected even though the father cut off his financial source and declared to her that he had already a woman he loves.
When Wuyan approached the father at the goldcourse to decline him, he collapsed and she discovered the truth that he had cancer and only have couple of months left. As it was his dead wife's wish to pass the company on to their only son, he has little time left to train him up to par. He felt Wuyan was the only hope and person who can influence Qixuan and guide him on the right track, judging from her influence on him from the cleaning of the river incident. At the same time, he explained his predicament that Qixuan only had a week to prove himself by winning a project, else not only will he lose his eligibility as trhe VP, his father had to give up control of the company.
Sending the father home, Qixuan was shocked to see her and asked what is the ugly woman doing here. Before she can explain, the father looked at her and she kept quiet as she had promised him in the hospital not to breathe a word about his condition (in fear the rivals will prevent Qixuan from succeeding his position and sabotage his chance).
Qixuan asked Wuyan out for a drink and they talked about the situation. He told her honestly he will never marry her but he has someone else he like. As long as she rejected the idea, his father cannot force them to get married. She said she has no interest in marrying him as well but she didnt have a choice (as her father had pawn away the jade necklace which Qixuan father had given to them as a marriage pact 17yrs ago). She lied to Qixuan she had to pay his father back. He commented isnt that selling herself for money? He said its such a small sum but she scolded him that to common folks like her 100k is a huge amount!
Qixuan got drunk and as he went off, she got worried and followed him to make sure he didnt drive. After all the troubles he caused her along the way, he stumbled by his car and fell asleep. She was pissed and tried to wake him. However, looking at her face birth patch, he ended up recalling the incident causing his mum;s death from his wilful manner of demanding a burger, and he burst out crying out loud for his mum and hug WuYan. She felt sorry for him and sent him back on a cab, which he fell onto her lap lamenting how he wished he should have been the one that was dead.
The father saw how Wuyan tucked him to bed carefully and happily thought she will agree to the marriage. However she rejected again. However she said she will help Qixuan with the proposed project to prove himself. As such the father requested for her to move to their house since her village is too far away. after careful thoughts, she agreed.
The next morning, when Qixuan awoke, the father told him about his new task, to work on the project and get to work. Qixuan was happy.
Meanwhile, Wuyan had to assure her father that it was her own choice and she felt concern for Qixuan and thus the offer to help.
Meanwhile, manage to catch the 3rd episode of Zhong Wu Yan.

Rambling: My Scandinavian trip outline
Been Busy planning my scandinavia trip. Well at least the rough outline is out!
1. Arriving on Copenhagen on 5th
2. Drive to 4hours Gothenburg on 8th, arrive afternoon and stay overnight.
3. Drive to 4hours Oslo on 9th and stay overnight.
4. Take Bergen train 7hours from Oslo to Bergen on 10th
5. Buy Norway in a nutshell from bergen to sighsee Sonefjord
6. Buy Hardanger in a nutshell to see 2nd fjord
7. Stay another day in Bergen and sightsee
8. Fly out of Begen back to Oslo. No idea what airline to take yet...need to book. sigh.
9. Stay 2 nights in Oslo and Viola back to Hongkong on 16th
Everything seemed pretty ok now except to try to buy the train tickets and getting the norway in a nutshell, plus booking flight back. Actually the only thing that is troubling me is trying to rent a car from copenhagen to Oslo.
I have NO IDEA which car rental is good. An travel agency tried to quote me 600euro a day! Just because I am driving across 3 states from denmark thru sweden to Norway. Seriously dude, 600euro?! Excluding toll and gas, that is like killing me!
I tried to call Avis rental in copenhagen and NO one picks up the phone like after 5mins. I have to hang up since its an international call and i am paying $$ to listen to music. Budget doesnt do drop off in another state. Havent tried Hertz... I am getting desperate. Why is renting a car so tough if the route is so common?
Sigh... I wish someone can drop me an answer in my lap now.
Still need to book places to eat. Havent done any research,. Getting desperate since I am leaving for Sydney next day and by the time I come back, its a week away from my Scandinavia trip. Will be too late to secure anything. Can u see my deep furrow frowns by now? And to top it up, I will miss Hotaru this week! Ahhhhhh!!! Shoot me already!
