Last evening, a freak storm knocked over a tree which knocked over a power line which made us powerless/electricity-less for the aforementioned time period. AWESOME.
Anyways, there was something else I wanted to mention about Personal Taste. Towards the end of the series, Kae In's dad asks Jin Ho why he loves her. And he replied he didn't know; he just followed his heart, which led him to her (I'm paraphrasing a bit).
Now I know in Kdramas, the stories are pretty archetypal, and the characters are rather petty, simple, and cheesy, and it's not really the characters' fault but instead the writers, but seriously? No reason for loving, must less liking, someone?
That's a bit worrying. I mean, I can understand some indescribable connection, that "spark," between people who just meet. But for people who have been together for some time, and can't provide one reason why they're attracted to their sig other?
There's got to be a reason why you're attracted to that certain girl or guy. If not something about the person's character, then at least something physical; it'd be better than nothing at all.
Saw The Hangover Part 2. It is EXACTLY like the first movie -- same people, same events/conflicts, just different location. Still, it doesn't mean it's equally hilarious! If you enjoyed the first movie, you'll like this one, most likely.
On a side note, this film is set in Bangkok, Thailand. Last time I checked, Thailand's supposed to have the highest number of people undergoing sex change operations. With that in mind, I SO called one of the jokes/gags that was in the movie. Yeah, I called it.
On another side note, Jamie Chung has a supporting role in the movie. Her character is the reason why the gang's in Thailand: Stu's marrying her, and her family's still in the motherland. Obviously, Chung is hardly a Thai last name. But she sure is fine. Mm mmm.
