Is this too stretched? Probably. But the FL works for an art gallery and the ML is an artist, so… (and I haven’t watched another drama that fits better…)
This drama has its flaws, but I liked Kim Jae-wook as a romantic ML, and loved the healthy couple.
My aunt gave me this book when I was very young. I loved reading and it was my treasure, but some stories were really sad, and “Red shoes” scared me so much, that I couldn’t move after having read it (I was very, very young).
Some years ago I reread the book and I liked it more, above all the writing.
A boy I was giving private lessons to, wanted to lend me this book. He wasn’t a reader, and was so enthusiastic about this story, that I had no heart to say no or to drop the novel whan I found out I didn’t like it.
And then he lent me the other two books. Because of course it was a trilogy…
09 – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”, “Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets”, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”.
The Harry Potter saga is my younger sister’s favorite. I brought her to buy the new book when it was out, and I read some pages making different voices when she was too tired to continue, but I never wanted to read them. I feared I would find them childish or boring.
Many years later, finally my sister managed to convince me to read the whole saga, and I… liked it.
I have read The Deathly Hallows for 5 hours without stopping (and I was studying for an exam back then…).
I don’t usually love school dramas, but this was interesting for its main theme – free will – and I liked the irony towards old dramas and tropes and the historic manwha. In addition, Dan-oh and Ha-ru were adorable as a couple, and I loved their friendship with Do-hwa.
I read this book last year, and I had trouble finishing it. I liked very much the battles, but there weren’t so many; I found some chapters very boring.
When I read a lot, before this endless book slump, I was rather the boring type, so, even if I’ve serached and searched among my books, I haven’t found one that makes me laugh.
So I have choosen this, that is a sequel to Jane Austen’s “Sense and sensibility” and that is so pointless and ridiculous that could make one laugh. Reasons with spoilers in the comment.
– Robert Ferrars goes to Africa and is eaten by a tribe of cannibals;
– Willoughby tries to seduce little Margaret, but then he runs away with Marianne, who is carrying Brandon’s baby;
– the two try to go to America to establish a free-love commune;
– Mrs Ferrars goes crazy after having lost all her money, has a party, invites the Prince Regent, and he… attends to it!
I binge-watched this last month, when I had some free days. It’s a nice drama, and I liked very much the way they told psychiatric illnesses.
It’s not among my 10 favorites, but I’ll gladly rewatch it some day.
Almost the whole story is told by Maud, a woman with dementia. She keeps forgetting and forgetting, and writes on tons of notes the most important thing: her dear friend Elizabeth is missing, and she has to find her.
But then Maud finds herself in a shop, in a street, and doesn’t remember the reason why she is there…
heartbreaking.
Hey thanks for the link. I posted my comment first then realized I should Google it myself first so I deleted my comment 😅. But thanks for the link this book seems like something I would like:)
Except for a little thing I didn’t like, this was really a masterpiece.I remember I suspected everyone, even the leads, and it was so much fun discussing it with you beanies!
This is one if the very few shows I ruined for myself by live-watching. I was loving it so much, but I guess I wasn’t used to handling the excitement and anticipation of waiting for the finale. I was completely let down by it. But it had top-notch acting nevertheless.
“Miss Pettigrew lives for a day” by Winifred Watson
This was the first e-book I bought years ago, and I remember I was so happy reading it, that I started suggesting everyone to read it (spoiler: no one did it).
It’s like a short fairytale for adults, that put a smile on my face.
The movie was a disappointment.
This is the only time travel I’ve watched (I have 365 on my watch list; any other suggestions, beanies?).
It was ok in its first half, the scenes between the leads were nice and I liked Shin Min-a, but it isn’t unforgettable.
The song of ice and fire in my country was split into 12 books (it’s crazy, I know), so I have more than one favorite. I’ll choose “A storm of swords”, which tells about the red wedding and Daenerys called “mother” by the people.
Actually it’s my first and only sageuk, so I’m “a little” biased when I say that I liked it very much. I feared the angst, but it was good even for my weak heart. And Yeo Jin-Goo’s acting was superb.
