2010 - R.I.P.
I think I should do this beforehand, but somehow it wasn't my first thought few days ago. 2010 ended, and I'm glad. Months after March were bad and deteriorated quickly. Maybe it's because I'm getting older and bitter? I'm alive and I should be grateful for that, but partly I'm grateful to myself, because I toned down my reckless behavior, and started to, at least, act cautious every few days.
I'm grateful for few beautiful souls out there I was given to meet. For all my Thorns and Queens of Lus... Luscious Words. I'm happy I spent so much time on many, many topics with them. That kept me sane, in a way.
As for other things: career-wise and interest-wise. My so called "research career" got accelerated. I went to few (ok, so far 2) conferences and it was nice. This year will be even busier, I can see it even now.
I started to blog. I remember myself saying that blogging is a stripping, an exhibitionistic behavior, but somehow I figured that one doesn't have to write about personal feelings and poison the world with another Weltschmerz. Stating the opinion is completely different than writing about "oh how world does hate me and I have no reason to live". So do it and stop whining, I'd say!
And I'm happy few people found this blog useful. To all readers - thank you and stay tuned^^

G-Love: cut from I Love Movies
A cut showing a bit of behind the scenes, and commentary on JJY by Director. I'm back to cutting the shows again.
There is also small cut of moments at KBS Drama Awards, but not from the Awards Ceremony (I haven't seen it still, yess...), but pett... I mean Song Junggi acceptance speech (and his gratitude to his Grandmother), and of kors Yucheon's arrival.

Countdown!
This is how a happy woman looks like. Like me now! In January filming to JJY's new movie starts. Movie is titled tentatively Countdown ( 카운트다운 ) and is directed by Heo Jongho, will be distributed by SidusFNH.
Plot: Beautiful swindler Cha Ha-Yeon (Jeon Doyeon) is released from prison and attempts one last major score by hustling debt collector Tae Gun-Ho (Jeong Jaeyoung). Tae-Gun-Ho risks everything to catch her ... (asianmediawiki).
Those two met in their previous movie No Blood No Tears, a gritty, gangster movie in which JJY played an ex-boxer, a pimp and a gangster. Perfect. This movie was also featured in the book about Korean cinema: Seoul searching: culture and identity in contemporary Korean cinema by Frances K. Gateward.
I'm still waiting for G-Love...

2010 SBS Drama Awards
It was obvious Mrs. Ko Hyeonjeong will win. Among younger actresses there is Kim Hyesun and her. And I'm happy for Life Is Beautiful, and Song Chang-eui. What else? No Minwu getting New Star Award... hmm... Not convinced at all. And don't get me started on Lee Seunggi. Please.
2010 KBS Drama Awards
I want to thank my sister who wrote me everything but the right list, and I was depressed SKKS won nothing. In fact, this drama won 5 awards. But I appreciate the effort, have no idea where she went to get me some info on it. Sweet^^
And I want to add here (cause D-A may turn into hell) that, in my opinion, Yu Ah-in didn't deserve the award for the newcomer. I love the boy, but he didn't.
I will wait for the next role of one nice gentleman, named Park Yucheon. Prove yourself, boy.

2010 10Asia's Awards: SKKS and Chuno
Remember the table I had so much troubles to fit all letters there?
No? That's ok.
And because I love 10Asia, an article from their website.
Articles on: drama, director, actor, writer and "Thank You" list. There was also "No, Thank You" list, but I don't see it somehow, keke...
Ajusshi - Man From Nowhere
Well, if Hell has an alternative name as Nowhere, in that case, everything is in place.
During last Christmas I’ve seen this movie five times. To be honest – because I’m stupid and I can’t count. I thought I would be back sooner to my normal everyday schedule (yes, hours on msn, D-A, Nate, Asiae, why you ask?), but somehow 10 days shrank miraculously in my stupid head to a week. Fine. So I was left only with this one movie, ekhem…
Back to the topic. It’s a good movie. Don’t stone me but I will not use the adjective “great” when talking about it in general. It had great parts, like filming, but somehow, well, I don’t know. I remembered two things while watching this: Kim Namgil-nim’s saying his family was watching Baker King Kim Takgu and loving it, and second – the scene from the movie The Classic – when the young man said that Koreans love sad stories. Ajusshi (I prefer original title than the English version) is a sad movie. It’s a sad action movie to be exact.
Why sad? The protagonist's fate is unclear - ha may be transferred to prison, his military unit may claim him, and some rogue assassin may shoot him.
