Twelve Men in a Year (aka: Twelve Signs of Love)
air date: 2.15.2012 through 4.5.2012
number of eps: 16
I watched it: laid back marathon

In a nutshell: An about-to-turn-thirty journalist breaks up with her long-time boyfriend just as she's finagled into ghost-writing a sex column. Shenanigan's happen. A simple plot and an easy, fun watch. I ( Read more... )

I Need Romance 2012 (aka: In Need of Romance 2012)
air date: 6.20.2012 through 8.9.2012
number of eps: 16
I watched it: slow, drawn out, piecemeal watch (when I didn't have anything better to do)

In a nutshell: Supposed to be Sex in the City Korean-style but, and I think I can say this with some authority, their formula is broken.

Bridal Mask (aka: Gaksital)
air date: 5.30.2012 through 9.6.2012
number of eps: 28 (extended from 24)
I watched it: Marathoned it over a couple of weeks (with a heavy weekend watch thrown in); can't imagine the tension involved in watching it live -- breaking for sleep and, you know, life was hard enough as it was. A week's delay might have killed ( Read more... )

Big
air date: 6.4.2012 through 7.24.2012
number of eps: 16
I watched it: marathoned the beginning, caught the middle to end live

In a nutshell: The drama that should have been awesome. A teenage boy and a man get into a car accident + boy wakes up in man's body + boy's teacher-crush is man's fiancé = hilarious shenanigans. And also some poignancy ( Read more... )

Arang and the Magistrate
air date: 8.15.2012 through 10.18.2012
number of eps: 20
I watched it: live, for the most part

In a Nutshell: Based on an old Korean folktale, AatM is a comedy/ghost-story/mystery/fantasy/historical fusion. *whew!* And with all that, the story-tellers didn't loose their way, managing to turn out a tightly told, well- ( Read more... )

So... LiveJournal. For a long while I figured I'd quit you. Honestly, there didn't seem to be a point anymore. I was done (done, done) with StarGate:Atlantis (when it got done with me) and it was kind of the last tv-straw for me. Not in a dramatic "nevermore!" kind of way, but in a "worn out; no longer care" kind of way. The idea of picking up ( Read more... )

We watched Hunger Games on Saturday so enough time has passed that I don't feel unduly influenced by the kind of giddiness a decent movie-going experience can give me. I'm still really pleased with the film. I look forward to seeing it again, and really look forward to it coming to tv where I can watch it many times and get more and more out of it ( Read more... )

So Hunger Games opens today and we'll be going to see it tomorrow (barring any earth shattering events) and I thought this would be a good time to write my "Defense of Peeta" post that I've been meaning to post since forever. (Or whenever I first read the books then went online. So. Yeah. Forever. *g*)

Only it's not so much a defense because ( Read more... )

So I finished reading Game of Thrones and, as promised...somewhere, will now share my thoughts on the difference between book and tv-series. :) At the first impression, I think both methods stand very well on their own. (Which is kind of a 'duh' statement about the book, but I have run across books-into-film situations where seeing the movie kind ( Read more... )

The thing about tech is, it changes. I had a recent panic-attack when coming back to LJ and making a comment on someone's post and... NO PREVIEW!!! O.O !!! I love the preview option! I need the preview option! Not just for technical stuff, like making sure I closed an italicized section, but making sure my words are clear and not, you know, assy ( Read more... )
